Friday, 02 March 2007
Digg!

Just a quick one in passing. BlogMaster started a thread for folks to post their fav SEO Blog. While it may not be the definative resource, compared to the Bloated Blog Rolls that abound, but it is certainly an interesting insight as to what the general public/SEO enthusiasts are reading these days. So it get's the nod ..and here ya go.

"Want to put together a list of seo blogs according to which ones DP members think is the most useful one. I have gotten bored with most of them to tell you the truth, but a cool new one I believe is www.seo-blog.com by our member Michael. Which one is your personal favorite and why?"

Black Hat Guru
Saturday, 20 January 2007
Digg!

So there was this post looking for a 'black hat seo guru' - well hey - I just had to touch that one. While I am certainly no Guru, I do include all forms of SEO into my learning and studies.

This post actually started to move into some of the problems folks like Matt Cutts face when having to deal with larger authority sites and spam/black hat activities in general. Props to my fellow travellers SEO Kit and Seymour fellow SEO rant allumni

Back Links - a PageRank affair
Saturday, 20 January 2007
Digg!

I wasn't actually going to post this one because of Cranky Dave (not me) and Spline were giong at it pretty good - but it's a great debate, so we'll keep it. While the post started off innocently enough, a debate over backlinks and passing PR ensued. Pretty good stuff really.

Keyword Research
Friday, 05 January 2007
Digg!

This is certainly one of my favorite areas because of it's importance and because enough people simply do not talk about it enough. It is a massively important area that get's little in the way of publicity. Let's see if we can't change that shall we?

"As far as Overture and other tools.. nothing is going to give you the TRUE data sinec folks like Google and Yahoo don't exactly publish it

Researching KW/Phrases comes down to a few potential paths for data

Search Operators (used to guage competition)
Overture data (potential search data)
NicheBot, Wordtracker,KW Discovery (provide various metrics)
Manual (looking at top competitors of potential KW targets)
PPC (run actual PPC campaigns to guage traffic)

There's probably more... it's 8am and I ain't quite awake yet.... This gives you a starting point at least in understanding the process "

Bowling or Bombing the competition
Sunday, 17 December 2006
Digg!

Well it has been debated to death.. but I haven't really posted a thread about it. Recently I made a small post about Google Bombing .. but this thread get's into the concepts and debates it a bit further for those looking for more details on the process

"Without drifting too far off subject, perhaps observing the effect of GoogleBombing could give us some answers. I didn't see the White House official websites PR going down as a result of irrelevant sites linking to it using the anchor text 'failure'................

If you could do this and wanted to focus your attentions negatively towards a competitor, you effectively could pull someones site down. "

Ok, I don’t want to keep getting funky on DP’s arse.. but how can I help it?

Hot on the heels of their journey into Black Hat and some other interesting anomalies are taking shape Seems to really be a big business in selling Signature links and even Avatars for advertising…

Man, some strange stuff there from my perspective...seems every square pixel of Virtual Real Estate is up for grabs…

Anyway, I ranted a bit over at WWS -- Selling Text Links and Selling Avatar Space

 
New Page Spam Limit
Thursday, 09 November 2006
Digg!

An interesting topic was broached recently that made me actually have to stop and put some pieces of the ol Logic Puzzle together, The topic centered around adding content/pages to a web site and how much was too much?

Can you put up 5-10 per day? Move an entire site of 1000s to a new domain?

"I regularly add new content, usually 3 or 4 new pages a week. I have been working on several related pages for my site and am just about ready to publish them. All the pages are inter-related to a single topic. At present there will be approx 14 pages in all. My question is, By publishing all of these at once is there a chance it could raise a flag to the SE's and possibly effect my" rankings? http://forums.site-reference.com/topic/4047/Adding-pages-limit/
