23 Apr 09 Free Website Review – Technology, Make Money Online and Blogging

Well, I plan to do free websit reviews about 200 words for free. And yes, and a backlink. I plan to do this because I think it is a good thing and fun to do.

I actually do a little bit of website reviews in the past and It is been good experiences. All you require about free website review is 3 things below. If you think you fit the bill, just put your URL in comment, i will try to do review as much as possible depending on the time and demand.

3 criterias I would require are

1. Your website age is more than 1 year
2. Your PageRank is minimum 3 or more &
3. Regularly updated site with technology and MMO niche.

I asked for these requirements, because I also want to give you quality backlink from mine and also I also would love to point to a great neighbourhood. Remember I enabled do-follow on my site, so that you will actually benefit more and I would. And I also want to experience with Link Building methods too.

So, yea, hope to do more review in the future. Thanks for reading.

18 Apr 09 Search Engines: Off Page Optimizations

Many SEO do this with short cut, fast and ineffective ways. As I have mentioned before in link building posts, it is imperative that getting quality backlinks are important.

However, many SEO people use massive submissions instantly and now many search engines discount and devalue several types of backlinks for Page Rank system. However, it is not the end of the world, you still get some quality traffic if you build gradually and right ways. Do not just alarm search engines with thousands of inbound links in a single month just to get traffic, build slowly and build properly. So, following are off-page optimization methods that you can implement.

• Inbound link anchor text, the text in the paragraph neighboring that anchor text
• On page relevancies that link to the page
• Appropriate directory listing and categories your site is listed in
• Titles of the pages linking to your particular page

Make sure you read guidelines from Google, Yahoo!, MSN Live, Ask.com and DMOZ before you submit your site too.:)

Happy Link Building

04 Apr 09 PR and Me – Does it really matter?

Many MMO and SEO guys talk about PR every now and then, Recently, new PR from Google has been updated. Does it do any good for you or bad? For me, I never care about PR much because it’s just a measurement of Google. I understand higher PR, we can sell links and etc, but I care more about unique and repeated traffic which will eventually bring success to you in the long run.

The funny thing is Google has been kind to me. I use do-follow enabled plugin which is actually a good one for WordPress bloggers, many actually said that once you have do-follow, you actually got hurt in PR, however, I believe that comment URLs are actually artificial link building and so that it doesn’t really matter about back links, maybe you generate some more traffic.

I allowed do-follow commenting on 25th Feb 2009 with this entry named “Advantages of do-follow Plugin for WordPress“. At the beginning of the April, I have my first PR update. This site went PR0 to PR1 and another music video site of mine got went PR0 to PR2, they are relatively very young sites, both not older than 6 months. However, I have done link building carefully and slowly. So, in a couple of months, I am sure I will have something else to write about this again. Bottom line, don’t worry about giving do-follow enabled comments, because many sites are now exclusively collecting do-follow sites just for link building purpose.

So, my conclusion, I am stoked about getting my PR raised, but does it really matter? Not really. But this is a good example of doing things accordingly. So, check out my Massive Traffic and AtoZ SEO categories for more techniques and tips about getting good clean organic and natural traffic. My link building system is slow, because I am personally experimenting it, you get to do it faster because I have documented it every time I experience new techniques.

18 Mar 09 Link Structures – Link Building Part 5

Many people got so anxious about their SEO works, that is no one to blame, we always wanted to see better and higher results. That’s the probably the only reason why you are actually reading this blog too. SEO is not a overnight work and if you rush it, you could crash it.

Speaking of link structures, you need to know two important things. They are

1. Natural Link &
2. Artificial Link Structure

Easily, Natural links must look naturally linked to each another whereas Artificial link structure will definitely look like we plan and create it. Natural links are actually valid and even when search engine variables and algorithms change, they might still be valid. Because once there is a new PR update, many people actually dropped their ranking as well as SERPs, and they will complaint rather than looking back what they have done in the past. It is generally because they did not build Natural Links in the past.

So, what are the differences between Natural Link and Artificial Link?

• Natural link tends not to be reciprocal whereas artificial links are.
• Natural link grows in number gradually whereas artificial link grows suddenly.
• Natural link anchor text varies whereas artificial link anchor text still the same.

Therefore, avoid your links to become artificial link structure, because they are easy to be discounted in search engine world. Also, do not exchange links in web ring and link farms.  In short, the link that are ranked high in PR or SERPs are the links that are not orchestrated to be seen, favors the links that are useful, great content and informative to be found. You may as well have known that buying links and selling links to earn votes is not allowed in most search engines.

In conclusion, the most important thing about link structure is when building your link, all the search engine cherish your natural link structure and they actually dislike/discount your artificial link structure.

18 Mar 09 SERPs VS PR – Link Building Part 4

Understanding of SERPs VS PR is a common misconception about link building. That is not an issue anymore once you read this. Well, many people think having huge amount of backlinks will give you top results in SERPs (search engine result pages). It is a myth.

Google considers many factors for your website/blog ranking in search results, it is fair to say that PR players indirect role in SERPs, but higher PR doesn’t mean higher SERPs at all. Sometimes in search result pages in Google, you may probably see PR1 sites results showed up higher than PR4 sites. Try some keywords about it, You will definitely learn that PR is not as useful as you believe to be. Of course, higher PR will give you potential impression, but not complete monetization result for you. That’s why SEO experts work for SERPs whereas SEO beginners work for PR. The mystery of SERPs is nobody exactly knows every single detail search engine algorithms and their technologies since they are using million of terms and variables. Here are some of the facts you can actually learn about getting higher in SERPs.

• keywords optimizations and relevancy (avoid keyword spamming and get to the point, for example, if you are selling shoes and you put completely spammy words such as free download, even you have a brochure PDF file to give away free, the relevancy % is highly unlikely to match to your entire site, Remember, it’s called “KEYWORD”, the word that is key to you)
• anchor text of the links (what you explained and the URL)
• previous factors of your site history (To name a few… the age of the websites, the content of the websites, how frequently you update, how good your internal linking is, how quickly a particular page is linked or indexed..etc)
• quantity of links from other sites to certain searched keywords
• quality of links from other sites to certain searched keywords
• human ranking (just introduced a couple of months ago where people can rank their search results, let’s say if you found what your looking for in page 2 of SERP, you can actually move up to page 1 yourself).

Lately, I do not actually have any internal linking because I do not want my readers to click on each URL like a wild goose chase (clicking another URL before finishing this and that). However, below you can see the related posts, so that you can read more about what is relevant with this post (I deliberatelly assign certain keywords to relevant posts so that you can actually keep reading for more).
