Hit by Google Panda Update

I haven’t blogged in awhile here, I haven’t had anything much to blog about. Life goes on, wheels turn, the sun rises. Business and Internet wise things haven’t changed much, just been in cruise control. Then… September 29th. For the last year or so Google has been in overdrive with doing updates and tweaks. I’m […]

Best of the Web 50% Off


Bookmark using any bookmark manager!

Best of the Web is one of the few directories I will still submit to, you can pay a one time fee for your listing, and they work to keep it valuable (unlike Yahoo which ignores their own directory except when it is time to charge you a $300 annual fee). Today only to celebrate […]

Pinterest, SEO, and Social Media Marketing

Two blog posts in a short period of time on this blog, what is up with that? I don’t try to keep a schedule with posts, I just try to post when I think I have something interesting… Pinterest, the new social networking site that crushes Google+, LinkedIn, Twitter even, second in traffic only to […]

Google, Jules Verne, and Me

This has happened to me before, but I’m unsure if I’ve blogged about it. Do you ever wonder what Google homepage links are worth? What kind of traffic? I have the luxury of ranking well for many, many, classic literature authors, usually top 3, often #2 only behind wikipedia (and before wikipedia went all nofollow […]

Do you use AddThis? Read This.

AddThis is a great service. It allows webmasters to easier add social media integration to any page of their site. I like the service, I use the service, I recommend the service. However… there is an issue you need to be made aware of. Something I have overlooked previously, and I am not the only […]

Save 20% at Best of the Web

Best of the Web botw.org is the one directory I really consider anymore. DMOZ is pretty much a joke, its too hard to get listed, Yahoo has relegated themselves to irrelevancy and having an annual fee as opposed to a one time fee makes it hard to get a positive ROI on all but the […]

Bing to Power Yahoo Next Week


Bookmark using any bookmark manager!

I just got an email from Microsoft informing me that Yahoo’s search engine is going down next week, to be replaced with search powered by Microsoft’s Bing, as announced in a deal long ago. The changes will finally be live. I for one am ecstatic. Yahoo has always provided subpar results for me, my sites […]

Global Market Exposure


Bookmark using any bookmark manager!

My Netbiz post was pretty popular. So when some guy named Chad called me today feigning to be a customer so I’d call him back I decided that I’d give “Global Market Exposure” the same treatment. The call started out somewhat funny. Him: “I was just on your website and I’m actually calling from Google.” […]

Best of the Web Directory Submission Coupon


Bookmark using any bookmark manager!

Best of the Web is, in my opinion, one of the top three web directories for promotion. I use it, I recommend you use it. Directory submissions as link popularity builders aren’t as powerful as they once were, the rise of blogs and the rise of cheap useless directories (plus the malaise at DMOZ and […]

Introducing: Two Step External Links, a Nofollow Replacement


Bookmark using any bookmark manager!

Last month Google announced a change as to how they handle the rel=nofollow link attribute. To simplify, PageRank, or link weight, is passed from one page to another through links. To decide how much each link gets the total weight the page has to offer is divided by the number of links on the page. […]
