Question on link exchange

admin — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 19:29:49 +0000

I'm using SEO elite to verify that my link partners are still linking back. In one situation I see my link isn't found. I'm guessing this person has robots disabled somehow but i'm not savy enough to check.

Does that mean I'm not getting the benefit of them linking to me?

the link is located at...

The 10 Top SEO Tips

admin — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 18:24:59 +0000

Be bold. Use the tags around some of your keywords on each page. Do NOT use them everywhere the keyword appears. Once or twice is plenty.

Deep linking. Make sure you have links coming in to as many pages as possible. What does it tell a search engine when other web sites are linking to different pages on your site? That you obviously have lots of worthwhile content. What does it tell a search engine that all your links are coming in to the home page? That you have a shallow site of little value, or that your links were generated by automation rather than by the value of your site. Here is an example of deep linking, in this case to my personal happiness workbook.

Become a foreigner. Canada and the UK have many directories for websites of companies based in those countries. Can you get a business address in one of those countries?

Newsletters. Offer articles to ezine publishers that archive their ezines. The links stay live often for many years in their archives.

First come, first served. If you must have image links in your navigation bar, include also text links. However, make sure the text links show up first in the source code, because search engine robots will follow the first link they find to any particular page. They won't follow additional links to the same page. You can see this in action at the link to the home page on this web site monitoring page

Multiple domains. If you have several topics that could each support their own website, it might be worth having multiple domains. Why? First, search engines usually list only one page per domain for any given search, and you might warrant two. Second, directories usually accept only home pages, so you can get more directory listings this way. Why not a site dedicated to gumbo pudding pops?

Article exchanges. You've heard of link exchanges, useless as they generally are. Article exchanges are like link exchanges, only much more useful. You publish someone else's article on the history of pudding pops with a link back to their site. They publish your article on the top ten pudding pop flavors in Viet Nam, with a link back to your site. You both have content. You both get high quality links. (More on high quality links in other tips.)

Titles for links. Links can get titles, too. Not only does this help visually impaired surfers know where you are sending them, but some search engines figure this into their relevancy for a page.

Not anchor text. Don't overdo the anchor text. You don't want all your inbound links looking the same, because that looks like automation - something Google frowns upon. Use your URL sometimes, your company name other times, "Gumbo Pudding Pop" occasionally, "Get gumbo pudding pops" as well, "Gumbo-flavored pudding pops" some other times, etc.

Site map. A big site needs a site map, which should be linked to from every page on the site. This will help the search engine robots find every page with just two clicks. A small site needs a site map, too. It's called the navigation bar. See how the second navigation bar at the bottom of Last Minute Florida Villas is like a mini-site map?

Does anyone remembers when was the last google update?

Anchor Text Question

admin — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 16:35:42 +0000

I have a question regarding the anchor text that links to your site. Does it matter if there is a space in it? For instance, would "Pest Control Information" and "PestControlInformation" both help you equally for ranking for pest control information? Do search engines care about a space when considering anchor texts?

On-Site Articles Optimized for Each Long Tail Term???

admin — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 16:10:10 +0000

I have found the bulk of my long tail terms (possibly 200+) from Analytics.

Is it wise to create pages for each of these terms, with a keyword rich article on the page? And an order button and possibly some sales material?

Is this a smart move?

One site page has a better page rank than site itself

admin — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:13:52 +0000

My site is fairly new, 6 months or so, and I haven't really been working on it very much as to SEO, more toward building content. I actually started writing on HubPages, and then decided to get a domain. My landing page only has a page rank of 1, but the page I started initially on HubPages, which is a subdomain, has a page rank of 3. I was thinking of moving that page to my site, but it seems to get more traffic where it is, so I've left it there. The page actually gets me some traffic to my other pages elsewhere, because I've moved most of them to the site, but the launch page for that section of the site has stayed on Hubpages. I'm afraid that if I move it, I won't get any traffic at all.

Is it common for one page to get a better page rank than the site page itself, or is this just because HubPages is Google's darling right now?

Should I concentrate on building SEO for the main page right now, and not move that page to the site until I get a higher page rank for the main page?

Any traffic is good traffic, I guess, but I'm really wanting to get more traffic that goes through the launch page.

Best SEO Method for Domain Forwarding??

admin — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 12:14:32 +0000

Hi - I've purchased 2 domains:

example.co.uk and
example.com

I plan to develop example.co.uk into a site serving users from the UK. What would be the best way to redirect traffic from example.com to the .co.uk version?

In the future I may plan to develop the .com into a worldwide version, but for now I just wanted to bag the domain and improve its history.

Thanks

Chris
