Doesn’t that belong to DaveN?
Yes it does!! You just won yourself a whole five bucks my friend!
For those that may not know who it is, DaveN is David Naylor, or as I like to call him SEO Mofo. You should be reading him [...]

DIGG sure is a quick way to get from zero to something on Google, at least pagerank-wise. And no, you don’t have to get frontpaged all the time (which is no easy feat). Tech Soapbox posts about an experiment with DIGG and blogging.
Not going to make any friends this way. But we tried this out, [...]

The rel=”nofollow” microformat tag has been lauded as one good way to prevent spam in blog and social media software. Blog commenting systems can easily by taken advantage of, with spammers putting up dozens of links. Same goes with wikis and social news sites. People can simply put in a lot of links, and enjoy [...]

Yikes! I missed this post last week about Blogger automatically adding the meta noindex tag to all Blogger blogs. That’s bad, and although it appears to have been fixed, I’m really surprised there wasn’t a bit more of an uproar over this one.
Why is it a big deal?
The noindex meta tag tells all the search engines [...]

Rumor has it that Google has again updated pageranks just recently. This is done several times per year, but even most Google insiders don’t know when the update actually takes. Users and webmasters will just notice their sites’ pageranks falling or rising. This can be based on observation (sudden changes in positioning in the search [...]

There may be some reasons why you wouldn’t want Google to index your site. For one, there’s privacy. Sometimes you might have folders on your web host that you wouldn’t want the public to gain access to. Sure, you can always password protect them. But your non-password protected folders can also be safe from prying [...]

Here it is folks the grand plan:

Copy a major online personality’s content
Read that personality’s ebook and say it sucks
Watch your rankings get Googlebombed for being the jerk that you are

Good luck James Timothy from Nerdville.net! Perhaps next time you’ll be more careful who you steal from…at least try not to alienate a whole industry next time!
I [...]

Let’s take a little break from talking about the different wonderful Web apps that Google has made to make our lives easier. Google’s core business is all about search, after all, and for publishers (bloggers, webmasters, companies that run websites) this means being at the top of relevant searches is on top of the priority [...]

Optimizing for Google searches can be a daunting task if you’re new to search engine optimization. While many people would prefer to outsource SEO to other companies, some would opt to reach out to the public first by blogging. Starting a blog helps a business have a human voice that the public (and hopefully the [...]

In the three years that I’ve been blogging, there’s one thing that I consistently notice among the blogs that I’ve written and written for–most of the traffic comes from search engines. I’ve heard from bloggers as well that this is the case with their sites, and I came to the conclusion that majority of blog [...]

Say you have a site, and you’re aiming to optimize for several keywords. It’s always easy to check on your position on Google’s search results pages if you’re on the first few pages–even better if you’re on front page. But if you have a lot of keywords to optimize for, it can become tedious to [...]

One of the most useful utilities that the engineers and think tank at Google have ever devised is the Google Sitemaps program.
The said program, which is a product of their much publicized and much vaunted policy of allowing its engineers to spend 20 per cent of their paid time on personal projects, has been a [...]

Google Analytics is an excellent solution for all one’s website related needs, starting from the source which brought the visitors to your site to how they interacted with your website. Hence, it provides good results as to how the site should be designed/ modified so as to attract more visitors or how to do better [...]

Yesterday I linked everyone off to Matt’s PageRank post. I figured it was worth a mention because I can’t really remember him discussing PR in depth like that publicly…ever really.
But then I got to thinking…

Matt is talking about PR!?
Telling us about a PR update
Answering specific questions on PR 

Wait a minute…
…did everyone one forget PR was Google’s holy grail?
…has the world [...]

The other day Matt replied to some reader questions about PR and the recent update, its worth a quick read.
There are some interesting questions like: 
Philipp Lenssen asks: “Matt, I often wonder, how is the PageRank value stored internally, is it a floating-point number as many people suggest or is it just the integer value itself due [...]

In Google’s “Quality Guidelines“, it states pretty clearly-:
“Don’t participate in link schemes designed to increase your site’s ranking or PageRank. Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings. A good rule of thumb is whether you’d feel comfortable explaining what you’ve done to a website that competes with you. Another useful test is to ask, [...]

Now we know the term “bomb” and “bombing” have become quite scary these days, especially with the ever-present threat of terrorism. Hey, it’s September, after all, and we know this isn’t a very good month as many people have been directly and indirectly affected by terrorist acts a few years ago. And also think of [...]

Search Engine Optimization. SEO. It’s one of the hottest things in the web today, whether as a profession, as hobby, as a passion, or even an obsession. People even make money from winning SEO contests for the absurdest of keywords. If you own a website for business, you should optimize. If you own a personal [...]

It’s exciting times again for Google, as new features and sevices had been announced in the past few days.
First, there’s the new sound notification in GMail +Talk. The lack of audio alerts with GMail’s internal chat client has turned off people, who had opted to stick with the standalone Google Talk client. But of course, [...]

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is just another web- and online-related undertaking becoming popular of late. This basically involves concepts in improving the likelihood that a website appears top or on front-page results in search engine results pages.
Sometimes, the search engines themselves assist SEOs (as people into optimization are called) by giving out tools that help [...]
