Has anyone else noticed that there are no “up and coming” search engines any more? Yeah, there’s Gigablast. But they don’t appear to be making substantial progress. Yandex picked up a lot of ground in Russia. But by and large, we haven’t seen any new search engines of any consequence in years. A long, long [...]
Recently, I was talking to Gab of SEO Roi about a good way to find do-follow blogs, amongst the ideas given was one so simple and effective that we were both amazed that neither of us had thought of it before. Using each method in this(including the different permutations in the alt text section), there [...]
I’m going to admit something to all of you. I suck at having things go viral. If I think something will go through the roof on digg, it seems to be an almost impassable handicap for it in the rankings. So awhile ago, I decided something[in all matters not this blog]. I’m done with crossing [...]
I was recently involved in a heated discussion on link spam and the like, and I found myself actually giving a few suggestions(if a bit sarcastically) on how to block blog spam, and I thought I’d share one with you guys, as it’s one that I haven’t done myself. It won’t do much to stop [...]
What Are Proxy Hijackers? Proxy hijackers are myspace/youtube/facebook CGI/PHP based proxies that people use to get around website blocks their schools put up. They are monetized by trying to get the content they view indexed /(as if it’s their own) and throwing up adsense ads and the like on the resulting pages. Obligatory Disclaimer: I [...]
There’s a lot of misinformation out there. Some of it is recycled garbage and the author knows it. Some of it is misconceptions. Some of it is outdated. Everyone’s guilty of putting out some of it; as SEO’s we’re more or less shooting in the dark trying to figure out the intricacies of an algorithm [...]
Matt Cutts has said eventually they may start eliminating the benefits of expired domains. But that hasn’t happened yet to my knowledge, and quite frankly it seems impractical. So in the spirit of the season, I give you…119 Yahoo Directory List Domains. All of em were found by my crawler, and many have over 80 [...]
This post is a bit different…sorry y’all, traffic dips more and more the closer we get to Christmas. I’ll make sure we come back with a bang after Christmas, but for now I’m going to play with some different kinds of posts. Informational will come when my audience returns Why ALL SEOs Need Some Kind [...]
Welcome to our product review section. To avoid annoying people who read the main blog, and want more information than reviews, I’ve established this section. Some of these reviews may feature affiliate links, but to protect the integrity of the blog, I’ve created a few rules that I will abide by 100%. My Self-Set Rules [...]
After reading this post on insidecrm, I began thinking about my own blog, and some new ideas to monetize it. I’ve been having an issue with this, for a variety of reasons. First off, I myself don’t like the ad setup I have. I think there’s too many, and I dislike the placement. Secondly, my reader [...]
