The Bad Blogger

2011-07-17T17:17:00.000-07:00

Today I was checking out blogs I could write about and I saw a few good ones, but The Bad Blogger stood out to me. It's raw, edgy and something I had planned to do a while ago.

The Bad Blogger is a blog that is written by Wong Chendong, also known as "The Bad Blogger". He is one of the top writers on EzineArticles.com. The Bad Blogger blog is a blog for people who have an interest in the "blogosphere". Really it's for any webmaster as it covers internet marketing and copywriting as well as blogging.

My favourite part of The Bad Blogger blog is their About Me page, affectionately title "Doesn’t This Piss You Off?". It's not your typical About me page where the owner of a blog will give you his life story, telling you where he's from and how long he has been blogging on the internet. No. The Bad Blogger About Me page is basically a rant on how the owner of The Bad Blogger thinks it's ridiculous how internet entrepreneurs charge an arm and a leg for private coaching or consultation. He explains why it's ridiculous and ends it with an ebook of his own called The Life & Marketing Of The Guy Behind The Bad Blogger! You get this manual for free when you sign up for Scam Sales Page Uncensored, which is another free ebook The Bad Blogger owner wrote. He teaches you some valuable marketing lessons (which he learned first hand) and also tells you about himself and his life.

The Bad Blogger also has some important and valuable tips on blogging. There's tips for blog commenting, blog content, monetizing your blog, blog headline tips, getting traffic to your blog, guest blogging and if you're not a veteran blogging he has tips for beginner bloggers. You can check out all of these tips in the Blogging section.

There is a Reviews section where you can read the personal opinions of The Bad Blogger himself on some websites and products. The reviews are witty and fun to read. They are unlike the common professional monotone style of reviews.

If you like witty banter you should check out the Personal section of The Bad Blogger. It is full of facetiousness, just completely entertaining.

The popularity of The Bad Blogger continues to skyrocket! The Alexa rank of TheBadBlogger.com is 59,000, the site has over 4,100 fans and there are over 4,300 comments throughout the articles posted on TheBadBlogger.com.

If you're down with being bad, make sure to Become A Fan of The Bad Blogger, Follow The Bad Blogger, Subscribe to The Bad Blogger, Add The Bad Blogger on YouTube and Connect With The Bad Blogger.

Content or Design: What Comes First?

2010-12-22T12:17:00.001-08:00

A question in many web marketers minds is should we be focusing most of our attention to the design of a website, or to the content that is going on it? Oftentimes, a company will lean towards the design of their web site, overlooking the fact that content is what drives traffic to convert from a visitor to a customer. Website design will play a major role in your marketing strategy; however it is the content that drives the web visitors to your website. In Canada, a search for website design Toronto might yield the best results for companies in your locale to help you out.

What helps them consumers decide between numerous products and services?
An informed customer always goes through the reviews and weighs the pros and cons before coming to a decision. Does fancy website design come into play? Not really..A company with a presentable website loaded with information and a sound background has a better chance than a company which principally focuses on designing a website without regard for its content.
A web design company should provide you websites according to your creative designs and specifications. If the right content is in place, an intuitive navigation, natural flow of information and a neat layout will work wonders for your company. It is the clarity and layout of the content that will encourage return visits.

Are design oriented websites less flexible than content oriented websites?
Yes, they undoubtedly are. Sacrificing content in order to fit it into a design is shortsighted. Creating a design to complement the content you have created is a simpler, and more effective approach. In order to achieve the your marketing goals and company objectives, at internet marketing Toronto we advise you to focus on content and build a striking design to complement it.

SEO Factors to Consider Before a Website Redesign

2010-12-21T13:56:00.001-08:00

Is your Internet marketing team or SEO services provider just being brought on board after a website redesign project? You may have just made a very big mistake, one that may jeopardize your historic rankings in search engine pages.

If you haven’t made your new web design live yet, you may still have the opportunity to save your historic SEO rankings. There are some key elements you’ll want to consider, to be most efficient, and save you the time and costs of having to redo these elements all over again.

Assuming both your domain name and hosting provider remain the same, the first SEO factor you will want to ensure are looked at before going live with the new website is site architecture.

Does the new site provide multiple ways to get to different pages on your website? Having links in the navigation, sitemap, body text and footer ensure the search engines crawlers can find your content through various avenues. Ensure the new site has both an HTML and XML sitemap. A sitemap helps to inform your visitors if they cannot find the content they are looking for. XML sitemaps help the search engines find of all the important pages on your website which they need to index. For more information about XML sitemaps you can visit sitemaps.org.

How to choose the perfect SEO service for your site?

2010-12-18T14:20:00.001-08:00

There are 3 types of SEO companies around. The most basic search engine optimization companies around don't actually perform search engine optimization at all- we are merely submission services which either by hand or automatically submit your site to various search engines or directories. Submission companies are usually cheap since no actual coding, linking, or content development takes place on your actual web-site. Typical pricing runs around $19.95 to $399 per month for these submission type services.

A mid level optimization company gets their hands more firmly on the promotion handle by editing code, analyzing keywords, building links, & adjusting / writing fresh content for your site. we also may do a pinch of offsite optimization, such as press releases, news story submissions, & weblog writing. usually, firms of this middle level range charge between $399 & $850 per month.

The highest level search engine placement firm such as Professional SEO Service performs the duties described for mid level optimization companies, but also is responsible for conversion tracking & analysis. The emphasis on offsite optimization is also much greater & time consuming. This means that high level optimization firms are fundamentally responsible for discovering what is working & what is not working throughout the whole customer experience - from preliminary search through conversion. More man hours per month also means a higher fee that search engine firms must charge to cover their costs. The usual pricing range for these firms' are $850.00 all the way up to $10,000 per month, but on average, you'll be taking a look at fees above the $1,000 a month range.

Your Official Presence On Facebook

2010-10-21T02:27:00.000-07:00

The Internet, as a medium, has opened the doors to a wide range of communication possibilities with customers. The interactive characteristic of the medium also makes it possible for a customer to publish his response to a vast audience. Social networking sites, particularly Facebook, which is getting increasingly popular around the world, have given customers an equal opportunity to communicate as loudly as you about your brand, in a public forum open to the whole world.

On the brighter side, there is a great opportunity to acquire direct and unadulterated feedback from customers, without the need of expensive and time-consuming surveys and research processes. Directly redressing customer queries on the medium itself can help increase brand loyalty. However, as a brand owner, you need to realize the speed and potential of the medium to do good as well as harm.

Facebook Opportunity for Your Brand

There are enough reasons for a brand to be on one of the most happening mediums. A significant amount of conversation that happens on Facebook, or for that matter on other social platforms like Twitter, carries references to brands, with customer's attitude toward these clearly seen through them.

The fact is that whether you are there on Facebook, it is very likely that someone or the other from your customer base may be making a mention about you. Your brand presence during such a situation is important to either thank the customer for any accolades or gracefully respond and address any grievances posted by the customers and win back their confidence in your brand.

On a proactive note, sustained brand presence on Facebook also helps you create your own band of customers, including those interested in you. This gives you one point access to disburse any firsthand brand information in a single click, without spending a dime more.

Today, brands – both big and small – have a presence on Facebook. Some of them use it with more innovation than the rest.

Brand Pitfalls on Facebook

Traditional marketers are used to broadcast, which is an extremely formal means of communication, where customers voices are barely heard back. Coming from this background, many a time, marketers find it difficult to adjust and converse in the language demanded by social networking sites, which are much informal in nature.

There have been instances where brand owners trying to enforce rules and guidelines of discussion on Facebook fan pages have faced the immediate wrath of users, which had an adverse impact on the brand.

The lesson from this is very clear, the brand must try to avoid any pitfalls on Facebook; marketers must know the responsiveness and energy levels of the users and be one among them, rather than one above.

Word of Caution – World of opportunity in Facebook

For every scary story of a brand goof up on Facebook, there are many cases of success, where even small household brands have grown in popularity through effective use of the medium.

Two golden rules to be followed while using Facebook, which can yield good results in the long run, are as follows:

Do not be a big brother – be a cheerful friend to your customers. The big brother attitude, which worked fine in traditional media, can kill your brand on Facebook. Any showdown of brand arrogance or one-upmanship is given a bitter response by its customers in the same medium. For a brand to succeed, it has to be a friend, who is fun to speak with.
Do not advertise, converse – Blatant advertising, or use of social networks for incessant spamming with interruptive advertising, is a sure recipe for disaster. You will find your brand page getting isolated on Facebook.

There are many ethics to be followed on Facebook and social media, which can be easily grasped through active participation in the medium itself. A company must ensure that its trained representatives have marked presence on Facebook and social networking avenues as true online custodians for the brand. For many companies, it also makes sense to engage an agency that is experienced in handling brand reputations on Facebook and online avenues.

SEOPressor — What’s New about This Wordpress SEO Product?

2010-07-08T01:37:00.000-07:00

Wordpress is decidedly one of the biggest blogging platforms in the world today. Even though it is not a free platform, the professional manner of this platform is what makes it more popular. And that is the reason why a lot of online business entrepreneurs are using Wordpress. As a consequence of that, several tools have been released in the market today by which people can enhance the prospects of their Wordpress blogs, and SEOPressor is one such tool. Being a new entrant into this genre, we felt it apt to check out SEOPressor and find out if it is really worth all the talk that is going on about it.

What we found out, after testing the product for both performance and efficiency, is that this is a product that’s well worth all the investment made in it. In any case, people are always looking out for the best possible search engine optimization for their business website, and the fact of the matter is that Wordpress SEO cannot get any better than what SEOPressor can provide. If used correctly, SEOPressor won’t just bring a Wordpress website to the top page of search engines but it will also bring it to the top of the top page. Results can be expected to figure within the top 3 on the first page.

Here we shall take a look at why SEOPressor can achieve that. It’s a fact that this is one SEO tool that works in a very different way from other similar products. Let us tackle these differences one after the other.

The Analysis

SEOPressor depends on a factor known as the SEO Score for calculating the worthiness of a particular website. What it will do is it will take some parameters into account and decide whether a particular website will rank well on search engines or not. This score is a very unique aspect of SEOPressor and the best thing about it is that its results correspond exactly with what a superlative tool such as Google Analytics will show you.

The Suggestions

SEOPressor almost dissects your Wordpress website and tells you things about it—innermost details that if you pay attention to could improve the prospects of your website to an amazing degree. It will tell you, for instance, if your keyword is placed in the right position or not, and what a better position would be. It will tell you about what kind of format you need to use for your titles—H1, H2 or H3—and it will tell you how the graphics on your website are influencing the prospects of your website. SEOPressor doesn’t just tell you about your mistakes, but it will also tell you the solutions and will offer to do them for you as well. This is one software application that allows you to sit back and relax as it continuously keeps monitoring your website and tells you exactly what you need to do in order to bring up the ranking of your website.

The Newness Factor

This is one thing to consider. The product is quite new, and even Wordpress is continuously changing, which makes it definitely a good thing to be new. For instance, SEOPressor is already compatible with the new Wordpress 3.0, something that most other Wordpress search engine optimization tools on the Internet are still trying to come to grips with.

The Convenience

This is what made this tool a big hit in its initial days. Even now, after several modifications, the plug-in remains just as easy as it was earlier. There’s nothing you need to install; it is just a simple download that you have to do. Despite the program itself being very complex, you don’t need to be a technical whiz to figure it out. The developers have tried to keep their program as much self-driving as possible.

The Secret Algorithm

Since its release, people have wondered about how the results of SEOPressor can match so perfectly with the results of Google Analytics. Only recently was it announced that SEOPressor uses a secret algorithm that works in the very manner that the Google search engine works to rank its websites. Using this particular algorithm, it is almost a no-brainer for SEOPressor to understand what it actually takes for a website to shoot right up the rung on the Google search pile. This is the one thing that has made SEOPressor so famous.

The Developer’s Reputation

SEOPressor has been designed and developed by Daniel Tan, who is one of the greatest search engine optimization gurus in the world today. He has developed successful programs in the past such as the Backlinks Syndication System, the Rank Mover, the Ultimate RSS Joiner and the Press Release Cash Cow. All of these have been quite commended in the online world, which is the same thing that is happening with SEOPressor currently.

SEO Consulting Service

2009-12-24T21:24:00.000-08:00

There are millions of people using the internet each day. If you are a website owner these people should be your main priority. Millions of searches are done on Google and other search engines every second. Are you sure they can find your website? Is it coming up in their search results?

You can purchase an SEO consulting service from search engine optimizers. Though most of them have their own website they don't need to. You can check forums such as forums.digitalpoint.com to receive SEO consulting services from well-educated people who are knowledgeable in SEO.

Forums are probably the best way to go in this economy. An SEO consulting service can be expensive. If money isn't an issue for you, good. Though expensive, you are getting a service that will eventually pay for itself and be well worth it in the end (if done right).

To be absolutely sure you're going to the right person and not wasting your money, try asking for a quote. I know of a few that offer free quotes. To find them just Google "SEO Consulting Service".

I would recommend you stay away from a company called Beanstalk. They charge $250 an hour for consulting, $250 an hour plus another $100 an hour if the job requires traveling and $50 per question that you have about the services.

The following are just a few of the advantages of SEO:

* Increase your website traffic.
* Search Engine friendly site will place you higher on results pages.
* Expand the reach of your online audience.
* Receive measurable results that you can manage.

SEO is necessary if you own a website so get your consultation as soon as possible. Good luck!

Bulk Directory Submissions

I've seen a lot of people asking the same question over and over again; "Will I get banned for submitting my site to thousands of directories?". The answer is simple - YES, but no... It really depends on how you go about doing this.

If you submit your site to thousands of directories at once, or in a short amount of time, there is a really good chance you will get banned by the search engines. You can avoid this by submitting to a maximum of two or three hundred directories each month.

Bulk directory submissions, per day, can be a problem but they're usually not. Let's say you submit your site to one thousand directories per day. Chances are the majority of those directory owners will not be online to accept submissions at the same time. Let's be generous and say half of your submissions are accepted. That's five hundred directory submissions per day. Now let's be realistic and say half of those directories are not even active, or as active as others. That's two hundred fifty directory submissions per day.

This isn't too bad. Chances of Google picking up all of those submissions in a day are incredibly slim.

This will prevent you from getting banned from Google and other search engines for bulk directory submissions, which some robots may mistake for spamming.

Page Rank Update

2009-12-11T23:03:00.000-08:00

I see this all the time. People asking for a PR update. Back in the day Google used to update their databases every three months. It's changed a little bit in the past two or so years and they now update their databases whenever they feel like it.

If you were hoping for an update it probably isn't going to happen anytime soon. The last update was at the end of October so the earliest PR update would probably be at the end of January or the beginning of February, IF they actually follow the guidelines that they laid out themselves.

It also seems like they're doing things a little differently these days and updating PR based on a different algorithm. I have thousands upon thousands of backlinks going to all of my sites, yet they either have PR1 or no PR at all.

We'll see how they next update goes and when it happens. Hopefully soon.

SEO Services

2009-12-09T17:25:00.000-08:00

If you are thinking about purchasing SEO, make sure you read this entire post to know what you should receive from SEO companies.

The first thing these companies should look at is your website's content and the overall structure of your website. You should be given a detailed review on your website content and structure so you know what you're doing wrong and what needs to be improved. They should tell you about errors on your page, broken links, etc.

They should also tell you how to build and manage your online marketing campaigns. Yes, this falls under SEO and they need to help you better your campaigns to reach the correct audience and get the most for your money.

Keyword research is a huge part of SEO and they should always tell you which keywords to use and which keywords not to use. If you own abc.com and your main keyword is "abc.com" you will fail. They should tell you that no one will be searching any search engines specifically for "abc.com" and that you should be optimizing your site for the keyword "abc" instead.

SEO training is not a must but there are a number of SEO companies who offer SEO training with every SEO service package bought. You should look for these companies as it will help you do your own SEO later on with other sites and you don't need to keep paying for these services.

When to hire an SEO specialist? Right away! If you just built a new website or you're thinking about creating a website, do your research on SEO companies now. The earlier you get it done, the better.

Before you purchase any SEO services from anyone, make sure you do your research and ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask questions. If the company is not open to questions, stray away from the questions, change the subject or just flat out refuses to give you an answer to any of your questions, chances are they don't know what they're doing.

Make sure you ask the company for previous experience, what type of methods they use (white hat, black hat, grey hat, etc.), how long to wait till you see results, etc.

Just remember to do your research first as SEO services are expensive and no one wants to lose that kind of cash.

Purchasing SEO

2009-12-09T17:11:00.000-08:00

There are hundreds of SEO companies out there who sell their SEO techniques to help improve your rankings in the search engines. They can be expensive but most of all they can be risky. If you are thinking of purchasing SEO services from anyone or any company, do your research first.

Go to SEO forums or forums like digitalpoint to see what others have to say about certain SEO services and companies. Also, using Google is pretty wise. You might find something there that you cannot find anywhere else.

Don't go with any cheap services if you do decide to purchase some SEO assistance. The bigger companies and more reputable companies may charge a lot more but they have the reputation and customers to back up their services.

One company to definitely avoid is sayseodesign.com. They have been known to scam A LOT of people. See the following thread for yourself: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=854797

Good luck on finding the right SEO company for you and your site!

In The OES TSETNOC Lead

2009-12-09T14:25:00.000-08:00

The people who are in the top three now are the same people who have been there since the beginning of the OES TSETNOC. It's kind of getting on my nerves that they don't drop in the SERPs at all when everyone else's rank continually fluctuates.

Congratulations to them though...

I've been looking at this wrong the whole time. I'm not doing anything wrong, they're doing everything right, and they've been at this a lot longer than I have.

Their domains have more months and years on it than mine does and that makes a big difference. I know I mentioned selling this blog just the other day but I'm going to keep it so I have an aged domain for the next OES TSETNOC.

If you're like me and you can't seem to pass the site's in the top three, or even the top ten, don't lose faith.

Anything can happen...

iWebTool banned Oes Tsetnoc!

2009-12-05T14:42:00.001-08:00

So I was checking my backlinks on iWebTool (just for fun of course. their tools are entirely inaccurate) and I noticed it said no backlinks. This immediately set off an alarm in me so I checked to see if this blog was banned in Google. Like an idiot, I used iWebTool. They said Oes Tsetnoc was banned from Google!

I checked Google myself though and noticed that it was still appearing in the search results. Good for me. I was thinking someone reported this blog, thinking we use black hat methods since we write about it often.

It's good and relieving to know that we're safe though, at least for the moment. Hopefully, iWebTool will get their shit together or I'll find better tools to help me out.

Grey Hat Methods

2009-12-03T18:41:00.000-08:00

You've probably heard of white hat methods in the world of SEO, maybe even black hat methods. Have you ever heard of grey hat methods?

Before I even try to explain what a grey hat method is, let me explain to you what a white hat method and a black hat method is.

A white hat method is a method that you use to optimize your site for the search engines. White hat methods are the best methods around. Why? Because they are the most legitimate methods around and you are guaranteed to NOT get banned by any search engines if you stick to them.

A black hat method is the polar opposite of a white hat method. If caught using these methods, you can and will be banned from the search engines and whatever other sites or programs you're trying to fool.

With the explanations above, using your common sense, I'm sure you know what a grey hat method is. No? Well I was going to explain it anyway.

A grey hat method is a cross between a white hat method and a black hat method. If you're careful enough, you won't get caught or banned but there is always a risk. Grey hat methods are usually not too frowned upon. There is little risk because all you're really doing is giving white hat methods little tweaks.

If you're running AdSense on your website, I recommend just sticking to white hat methods. Using black hat methods, or even grey hat methods, will not only get your site banned from the search engines, you could also lose your AdSense account.

I know you probably think that it doesn't really matter, there are other programs just like AdSense out there, but you're wrong. Those other sites don't offer you revenue potential as big as AdSense does.

Use these types of methods with caution.

Oes Tsetnoc to SEO Blog

2009-12-03T18:29:00.000-08:00

As you can probably tell, I've changed the site up a little bit. I asked some people for advice with this blog and one tip that stood out to me was to create posts that are at least 300 words long. With this SEO blog running solely as an Oes Tsetnoc blog, I couldn't achieve that.

It's hard enough putting together a 50-word article on the Oes Tsetnoc, it'd be excruciating to have to put together a 300-word post for this blog.

So what I've done is made this into just another SEO blog. I periodically update all of you on SEO related things and share some SEO tips and tricks.

It has been really easy maintaining this blog now. Don't worry though, I'll still be writing about the Oes Tsetnoc.

Common SEO Mistakes

2009-12-03T01:11:00.000-08:00

A common mistake that webmasters often make is they underestimate themselves. Do not underestimate yourself. Even if you are number 10 in SERPS or number 100. Things can always pick up. Remember that SEO takes time.

Another thing not to do is believe everything you see on the internet. You can use as many search terms as you want to look for SEO strategies but different things works for different people. Of course there are the basic SEO tricks that work for everyone, just basic SEO, but other things that people try with their websites that work for them may not work for you. So keep trying things with your website until you find something that works for you.

Just because you find something that works for you, do not be stupid and cancel out all other techniques. You will exhaust your current one eventually.

The number thing to avoid when it comes to SEO is: Avoid all black hat methods! Sure, you will see short term benefits but it will cost you a lifetime ban. It's not worth it.

Spamdex the Oes Tsetnoc?

2009-12-02T13:15:00.000-08:00

Spamdexing is also known as black hat SEO. It's something that no one should do, but a lot of webmasters do it to make their search engine rank higher.

Spamdexing consists of submitting your links to link farms, spinning your articles and keyword stuffing, among other things.

So I ask, should I spamdex this Oes Tsetnoc blog? I know there's a high risk in getting banned from the search engines altogether, but there is only a couple of weeks left in the Oes Tsetnoc and the chances of me getting caught in such a short amount of time are slim. (Unless a contestant who sees me as competition rats me out...)

Chances are I won't resort to such tactics but I'll say this, if I got caught and placed in the Oes Tsetnoc, it would be worth the ban.

Oes Tsetnoc Mission: Impossible

2009-12-02T13:11:00.000-08:00

The Oes Tsetnoc is coming to an end in less than two weeks from now. I have yet to crack the top ten in the last two months. I'm one hundred percent sure that I will not be cracking it in the next two weeks.

It'll be fun maintaining the site in the meantime, even afterwards. I'm enjoying writing about SEO. If I don't keep continuing to update this blog on a regular basis, I'll be selling it.

I think this Oes Tsetnoc blog has great potential to become a great site and I don't want to put it to waste.

If you're interested in purchasing this blog, send me an email with an offer to jerlene@blackdonnellys.info

For now, I think I'll be writing regularly on here. I just need to figure out my new keywords since my previous ones have not worked out so well for me.

My Oes Tsetnoc mission has officially become impossible to accomplish.

Oes Tsetnoc Directory Submissions

2009-11-29T14:40:00.000-08:00

So I've been submitting this Oes Tsetnoc blog to directories, hoping it would help me rank better in terms of backlinks but it has done next to nothing.

I've been seeing some changes in my SERPs recently though. I don't know if it has to do with the directory submissions I've been doing or if it has everything to do with all the fresh and unique content I've been updating this blog with.

Either way, I'm happy to finally be out of my slump and see this change. I just hope it keeps up.

I've tried buying directory submissions and using software to submit my site to directories for the Oes Tsetnoc, but I don't see any changes unless I submit to directories manually and doing that is extremely time consuming.

I'm going to be doing more directory submitting during the next couple of weeks though. I could very well continue to climb the SERPs if I continue to update this Oes Tsetnoc blog with fresh and unique content and continue to submit to relevant directories.

I've done everything else I can...

SEO Is a Waste of Time

2009-11-27T02:19:00.001-08:00

So this was brought up on another forum that I'm a member of. Someone said they had a long debate on whether or not SEO was a waste of time or not. Have you ever thought this? Do you think that SEO is a waste of time and unnecessary?

I don't think it's unnecessary. In fact, I think the exact opposite of it. What would a website do without SEO? Where would your site be without SEO?

Your website is in search engines because it has been optimized. The last thing it is is a waste of time.

Think of all the times you've used Google [or whatever search engine you usually use]. The keyword you search for brings up thousands upon thousands of websites. These websites are appearing in the results page because they were all optimized.

Optimizing your website for the search engines are a big part of running a website. How else is your website supposed to get noticed by the right audience? You do NOT want just a bunch of traffic going to your site.

If your site is on computers but it's appearing in the search results page for the term "furniture", what good does that do you? The traffic coming into your site from searching for that term is completely irrelevant and these visitors will not help you gain revenue, not to mention your bounce rate will be REALLY high.

In short, I think SEO is absolutely necessary. How about you?

Choosing Your Keywords

2009-11-26T19:19:00.000-08:00

A lot of people have a hard time figuring out what keywords to optimize their sites for. This problem arises mostly with people new to building and marketing websites, or people new to SEO (search engine optimization).

One common mistake that people make is they make their keyword the same as their domain name and their site is optimized for that. This is not smart at all.

What you need to ask yourself when figuring out what keywords to use is, "What will people be searching for?". A lot of people who have domain.com will promote their site as "domain.com" or "Domain".

First thing's first, remove the .com. Next thing to do is go to Google Trends and see what people are searching for. This is completely optional but it helps in getting traffic to your site. When you go to Google Trends, find the search term that best fits your site and optimize for that term or a similar term.

If you have a site on flowers and you see the term "flower site" in Google Trends, optimize for it.

Get .edu and .gov Backlinks

2009-11-26T18:46:00.000-08:00

.edu and .gov backlinks are always a plus for websites. These links are often hard to come by and search engines see these as top qualiy backlinks.

I'm going to show you a little tip to acquiring these .edu and .giv backlinks. The best part is, they will be relevant to your site. Although you can get .edu and .giv backlinks on any niche.

All you need is to go to Google.com or any of your favourite search engines. Now just put the following query into the search form:

for .edu links

site:.edu in url:blog “comment” -”you must be logged in” -”posting closed” -”comment closed” “keyword”

for .gov links

site:.gov in url:blog “comment” -”you must be logged in” -”posting closed” -”comment closed” “keyword”

SERP Difference in .com and .net Domains

2009-11-26T03:46:00.000-08:00

A lot of people have asked this question many times. "Does a .com domain do better in the search engines than a .net domain, or any other extension?"

Don't worry if you didn't get the .com domain of your choice and you had to settle for another extension. Don't worry if you thought you're going to have to do extra work to rank better than the .com version of your domain name. No matter what you've read, there is no difference.

All extensions are ranked in Google [and other search engines] and all extensions are a part of the search engine's algorithm.

A domain's extension will not penalize you in search engine ranks.

With all of that being said, I'm really glad. Now I don't have to worry about having to do extra work for the Oes Tsetnoc.

How To Build Backlinks

2009-11-26T03:40:00.001-08:00

People often ask a lot of questions about backlinks, mainly how to acquire them. I’m going to give you a few tips to help you build some quality backlinks. The number one rule with building your backlinks is “quality over quantity”. Google [as well as other search engines] will pay more attention and give a better rank in the search engines to sites that have relevant backlinks rather than a site with just a bunch of random backlinks.

When building your backlinks, do it slowly. Don’t get too much at one time. Robots/Spiders can see it as spam and block your site, maybe even ban it.

Although there are a lot of people out there offering and looking for software that will automatically build backlinks, do not sink to this level. Get them naturally. This adds to the quality and search engines will recognize that.

You should always have a strategy when building backlinks. One strategy you can use it to see where your competitors are getting their backlinks from and see if you can get them on those sites as well.

Also, create a strategy within your site to have your visitors want to link to you.

Try to avoid doing link exchanges. Google frowns upon it and more than often the sites who do too many of these exchanges can and will be banned from the search engines.

There are a lot of things to do and avoid when trying to build backlinks for your site, but the above are the basics and will help you.

Always remember to get quality links which are relevant to your site. And always remember to build your links slowly. Don’t go overboard, though a lot of the time we tend to do that.

Just remember building backlinks take time, as with anything else.

Oes Tsetnoc Sandboxed?

2009-11-21T04:42:00.000-08:00

I don't think so. What is sandbox? It's pretty much just the time period that competitive keywords must wait in order to achieve results on Google.

Even if "oes tsetnoc" was Google sandboxed, it wouldn't effect the entire site. Google Sandbox is keyword related only. What does this mean? Let's say you made a site about ABC and put it on XYZ.com. You'll rank well for XYZ but you'll have to wait to achieve those dream results for ABC.

How do you avoid it? This is why SEO is a tricky thing and takes time. We can do all sorts of tricks to get to number one in Google but it will take time because there is no trick to avoid time in the sandbox. Really the only way to even remotely avoid it would be to target a non-competitive keyword. Why do this though? A lot of webmasters wouldn't. They wouldn't make money or get traffic.

I know you hear this all the time, or read it all over the web, but while you're in the sandbox just create content and build backlinks. This will help you get out of the sandbox quicker. Everyone goes in the sandbox and you are no exception. If you let your site sit, Google will ignore your site as well.

Hearing you need to continuously build content and backlinks does not compare to what you're about to hear. The length of time you'll spend i nthe sandbox will vary on the amount of content you generate and the backlinks you build, among other things, but typically, you'll spend about nine months in there.

To find out if you're in the sandbox, go to Google and put the following into the search form:
allinanchor:"keyword"

Oes Tsetnoc Update

2009-11-18T01:36:00.001-08:00

Though this is my first SEO contest ever, I'm doing alright in the rankings. I was recently stuck in the 21st position but climbed to the 17th position after a little SEO work was done.

I've been asking people on forums for a little SEO advice and they've been telling me things I already and have already done. Still, good to know I've been doing the right things so far. Okay, maybe I've overdone it on the keywords, but I will be cutting back on that.

I wish I found out about this SEO contest a little sooner, maybe then I could have gotten a TLD instead of a Blogger domain. I'm not comlaining though. I love Blogger. Still, would have been much better for SERPs.

Well, I'll keep updating all of you. Thanks and keep checking back.

The final update will be at 12:00am GMT-7 12-15-2009.

The contest is almost over. There is less than a month left in the Oes Tsetnoc.

If you're participating in the Oes Tsetnoc, make sure you pull out the big guns now because we're cutting it close.

Remember, pull out all the stops before December 15th!

Supersized Oes Tsetnoc

2009-11-16T00:29:00.001-08:00

There's less than 100 contestants in the Oes Tsetnoc so it's not supersized but it should be.

Supersized has been taking control of the Oes Tsetnoc, knocking me out of the race everyday.

They were behind me one day and all of a sudden they're ahead of me by five spots.

I'm in position 20 and they're consistantly in the top 10.

I want to know their secret. ;)

Oes Tsetnoc dot name

2009-11-13T01:10:00.000-08:00

Looks like oestsetnoc.name is paying Google to advertise their services for Oes Tsetnoc contestants.

It's a brilliant idea. A lot of people are participating and eager to win. I hate that I didn't think of it myself.

Anyway, they're offering free links for Oes Tsetnoc contestants on their site. They advertised via Google AdWords.

Go see for yourself.

Another Oes Tsetnoc?

2009-11-13T01:03:00.000-08:00

So the people that started this Oes Tsetnoc are thinking of starting another Oes Tsetnoc but with an affiliate site of theirs and the contestants can make money off of the site that they use depending on whether or not they make sales.

What do you all think of that? I would much rather have another regular Oes Tsetnoc. Maybe Oes Tsetnoc 2.

How time flies when you're having fun in the Oes Tsetnoc

2009-11-09T14:48:00.000-08:00

It seems like the Oes Tsetnoc just started last week or something, but the Oes Tsetnoc is ending next month.

The end date is coming closer and closer.

I've been climbing the results page but it doesn't look good for me. I'm stuck in the 15th slot.

Anyone want to give me a link? ;)

Optimizing Blogger for The Oes Tsetnoc

I wish there was more I could do to optimize this blog for the Oes Tsetnoc.

I've done everything that I can do with blogger though. It's not as flexible as I hoped it would be.

I'm still doing pretty well but honestly, I don't think I'll be winning the Oes Tsetnoc with a blogspot.com domain.

You can learn either way.

I hope to at least place in the top ten of the Oes Tsetnoc if I don't win.

I'm getting closer each day.

I climbed like ten spots in a day. I climbed one more spot about ten minutes ago, but fell back one because I was in the middle of updating my Oes Tsetnoc blog when I checked the results.

Oes Tsetnoc sites getting hacked!

2009-11-05T12:35:00.000-08:00

If you read this blog you probably saw me mention the number one site in the Oes Tsetnoc getting hacked.

Well, I just read that the third site in the Oes Tsetnoc also got hacked.

Honestly, I'm not worried about this blog getting hacked.

We're hosted by Google and I'm sure they have a lot of security measures in place.

Just in case though, I'll keep an eye out.

Broken English - Oes Tsetnoc

2009-11-05T12:26:00.000-08:00

Why is Google increasing the search engine ranks of Oes Tsetnoc sites that are all in broken English?

I can barely get through a sentence without getting pissed off.

It's the way they word things, the way they spell things; everything.

I don't see how Google can award that kind of crap.

Stupid Oes Tsetnoc Tactic

2009-11-05T12:22:00.000-08:00

One of the people leading in the Oes Tsetnoc came up with a really stupid strategy.

I was browsing his site and he mentioned how he is not planning on link building. If you do this, how exactly do you plan on getting your site out there?

More exposure equals more visitors, which will lead to an increase in SERPs.

This is good for me to know though.

Can't wait to get my Oes Tsetnoc links and get ahead of this clown.

oestsetnoc.com hacked!

2009-11-05T12:07:00.000-08:00

The number one site in the oes tsetnoc, oestsetnoc dot com, was hacked a few nights ago.

Fortunately for them, the site was recovered in one piece. Unfortunately for the rest of us, we still need to try and beat him in the oes tsetnoc.

Revenue - oes tsetnoc

2009-10-29T19:40:00.001-07:00

I really hope I get something good out of this oes tsetnoc.

If not first, second or third prize, I don't know...

It's fun to play around with this oes tsetnoc but it really hasn't given me anything in return.

I tried doing the whole Google AdSense thing but it's gotten me nothing at all.

Hopefully I place in the oes tsetnoc.

Videos - oes tsetnoc

2009-10-29T19:34:00.001-07:00

So I've been doing some research on the oes tsetnoc and I found a few videos on YouTube promoting oes tsetnoc sites.

I think that's a good way to get some traffic to your site but really, that's just another thing you need to promote.

What do you guys think?

Maybe if I see those people getting some really good results from their oes tsetnoc videos, I'll try and record one or two myself.

Link Exchange - oes tsetnoc

I'm only looking for three-way links for my oes tsetnoc blog though so your link will not appear on this site.

2009-10-29T19:10:00.001-07:00

I'm not in the oes tsetnoc just for the prize money. I'm in it for the bragging rights as well.

I want to be able to offer some SEO advice with some proof of my talents.

Though I do love some free money. I really want some Christmas cash and this would definitely come in handy.

SEO first though for me. I'm loving the oes tsetnoc.

It's my first oes tsetnoc ever and I'm having fun so far.

If you're new to SEO and you want to learn some SEO tricks that the pros don't want you to know, you may want to take part in this year's oes tsetnoc.

This year's oes tsetnoc is being held by promojunkie.com and it's international so anyone can participate!

One oes tsetnoc Entry Only

2009-10-19T23:45:00.000-07:00

So it would be nice to be able to submit another site to the oes tsetnoc but as you've probably guessed, this is against the rules of the oes tsetnoc.

Indented listings do not count -- each domain can win only one oes tsetnoc prize.

As long as we get to change our URLs though, I'm good.

White Hat Only - oes tsetnoc

2009-10-19T23:39:00.000-07:00

I have to say, I'm a little but disappointed in the fact that we can only use white hat techniques for the oes tsetnoc.

I guess this is a good thing though, as I probably wouldn't be ranking as high as I am if everyone was free to do whatever the hell they wanted to do to win the oes tsetnoc.

It's clear in the rules though; cloaking, hidden text and other black hat SEO techniques are not allowed in the oes tsetnoc.

oes tsetnoc entries

2009-10-19T23:37:00.000-07:00

To guarantee yourself a chance at even being considered as a winner of the oes tsetnoc, you need to make sure that the website you submit for the oes tsetnoc is in English.

This isn't really a rule but it's something you should know...

You can use a domain, a sub directory or a sub domain for the website you're using to submit to the oes tsetnoc.

As you can see, I'm participating in the oes tsetnoc using this website and we're on a sub domain.

Register - oes tsetnoc

2009-10-19T23:32:00.000-07:00

In order to take part in the oes tsetnoc, you MUST register for the oes tsetnoc.

Go to PJ and fill out the oes tsetnoc registration form.

This is the number one rule of the oes tsetnoc.

After you're done registering for the oes tsetnoc, you can verify your oes tsetnoc website entry.

Required Backlink - oes tsetnoc

2009-10-17T16:04:00.000-07:00

One of the rules of the oes tsetnoc is that you have to link back to promojunkie from the page you submitted to the oes tsetnoc.

Glad I double checked everything last night as I was linking to them from oes tsetnoc posts, not the homepage of the site that I submitted.

If you made this mistake, too, or just didn't link to them at all, hurry up and fix your mistake.

You need to have the link on the submitted page to even be considered a winner of the oes tsetnoc.

Change URL - oes tsetnoc

2009-10-17T16:01:00.000-07:00

If you entered the oes tsetnoc but you want to change the site you entered with, don't fret; PJ is allowing oes tsetnoc contestants to change their contest page.

All you have to do is contact "decipher" on the PJ forums and he will change your oes tsetnoc URL for you.

Strategy - oes tsetnoc

2009-10-17T03:09:00.000-07:00

It's important to plan out a strategy if you feel like you have any chance at winning an oes tsetnoc.

Think up an oes tsetnoc strategy that you will stick you.

Try to base your oes tsetnoc strategy on your competitors and their websites. Concentrate on your own website by concentrating on the other websites.

Observe the top 3 sites in Google for your search term and see what they're doing with it.

Visit SEO sites to get some techniques. Read some tutorials on SEO as well.
You can even search Google for "how to win an oes tsetnoc".

Backlinks - oes tsetnoc

2009-10-17T02:54:00.000-07:00

Backlinks are an important part of SEO and it will surely help you in winning an oes tsetnoc.

What you want to do is go to Google.com [because that is the search engine most people determine oes tsetnoc winners from] and search for your oes tsetnoc keyword.
In my case, the search term is "oes tsetnoc".

Once you've done that, copy the URL of the site that is ranked number one [because this is your biggest competition. this bitch is in your spot and you want to take it back!].

Use a backlink checker tool. If you don't know one off the bat, just search Google for "backlink checker". I use backlinkwatch.com.

Check to see how many backlinks the site has. Now go and see how many backlinks your site has and compare it.

Now you know how many more backlinks your site needs to overtake the other site.

Don't worry; If the sites linking back to them is crap, Google will ignore it.

Huge Fall - oes tsetnoc

2009-10-16T20:38:00.000-07:00

I know basic SEO but none of my techniques have kept this blog in the top of Google.

We'll see how it goes. It just seems like I have to continually write articles about the oes tsetnoc to maintain my spot.

I'm hating the oes tsetnoc.

I have to constantly post to stay o nthe first page of the Google results for "oes tsetnoc".

I'm starting to run out of things to post.

Anyone have any suggestions? ANY suggestions at all?!

Blah - oes tsetnoc

2009-10-14T00:07:00.000-07:00

Yes, blah. I just need to keep writing on the oes tsetnoc so my rankings in the search engine for "oes tsetnoc" will increase. Believe me, it's working.

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was pretty awesome. It was my birthday so I got to party a bit and had a lot of fun.

I didn't forget to update this oes tsetnoc blog though. ;)

I'll keep at it. I'm gaining all my hope and faith back so I'll be updating this blog quite a bit in hopes of winning this year's oes tsetnoc.

1 month - oes tsetnoc

2009-10-13T12:22:00.000-07:00

We recently passed the 1 month mark of the oes tsetnoc.

A few oes tsetnoc changes have been made along the way. These changes were needed and I must say, I love them.

Are you a contestant in the oes tsetnoc?

If not, you really need to get on it. The last time I checked, only about 70 or so people signed up to be apart of the oes tsetnoc.

This means you still have a chance at winning. Not to mention the fact that there's 2 months left in the contest.

Come on. We need more competitors!

Climbing - oes tsetnoc

2009-10-13T00:45:00.000-07:00

So promojunkie has been updating the oes tsetnoc results on the oes tsetnoc results page, so I check it on a daily basis now.

I just checked a few minutes ago and it looks like I'm climbing the results page once again. Not the results on promojunkie, but the results on Google.

I'm so going to win this oes tsetnoc!

Falling - oes tsetnoc

2009-10-12T01:16:00.000-07:00

So I've been falling in the ranks again. This oes tsetnoc is no joke. I need to make a new post at least twice a day to maintain a good rank. It's tiring.

I keep going for the Christmas money though. I don't care if I get 1st, 2nd or 3rd. As long as I place I'll be fine.

Hopefully you'll see my name next to the number "1" soon in the oes tsetnoc results page.

11 - oes tsetnoc

2009-10-09T10:32:00.000-07:00

We are now number 11 in Google!

Promojunkie uses a string that will give results regardless of what country you're from. This benefits us all.

I'm soon to be back on their results page. They only show top 10 and hopefully by tomorrow I'll be at number 10 [at least] for "oes tsetnoc".

Why tomorrow?

Tomorrow is the end of month 1 of the oes tsetnoc. It is also my 23rd birthday!

We'll see though. We'll see...

Good luck, all, on the oes tsetnoc!

Increasing Results - oes tsetnoc

2009-10-08T17:54:00.000-07:00

So I just checked the results for the oes tsetnoc.

Seems like I'm doing much better.

Though they only show the top 10 people in Google showing up for "oes tsetnoc", I'm still pretty high and almost listed in the top 10...sort of.

Right now, this site is the 23rd listed in Google for the term "oes tsetnoc".

No time to give up yet, not while I'm doing this well anyway.
We'll see how this thing goes.

Good luck to all in the oes tsetnoc!

Changes - oes tsetnoc

2009-10-05T15:54:00.000-07:00

There have been a couple of changes to the oes tsetnoc.
Nothing major, just a couple of things worth mentioning for those of you who are participating in the oes tsetnoc.

The results page now only shows 4 results. There are talks to only show the top 10 results in Google on the oes tsetnoc results page.

Another change that is in talks is that contestants will be able to verify whether their site was accepted into the oes tsetnoc or not.

Just keep checking the site to see when these changes are implemented.

Good luck in the oes tsetnoc!

Waiting - oes tsetnoc

2009-10-03T23:34:00.001-07:00

There seems to be a lot of waiting involved with the oes tsetnoc.

I'm currently waiting for the results to update while I wait for the oes tsetnoc to end altogether. =]

This just isn't my thing anymore. I don't want to come this far for nothing though so I'm going to keep going.

Hopefully I place in the end of the oes tsetnoc.

Day 20 - oes tsetnoc

Low Rank - oes tsetnoc

2009-09-29T12:22:00.001-07:00

I just keep falling in the oes tsetnoc.

The oes tsetnoc results page finally updated today and I went from 2 to 7 to 9 to 13 to 30 to 34!

I hate this damned contest.

I'll try to crack top 10 within a week though. It's definitely my goal and winning this whole oes tsetnoc is my top goal.

Bored with the oes tsetnoc

2009-09-27T22:09:00.000-07:00

The oes tsetnoc has already bored me. haha I'm going to try to keep making updates but really, I've pretty much ran out of things to write about related to the oes tsetnoc.

There's not much you can do when the results page for the oes tsetnoc don't update for days on end and no matter what you do Google doesn't want to index your homepage.

I'll keep trying though. Hopefully the oes tsetnoc results page will update. I'd like to see where I'm at. I've been stuck at 30 out of 61.

Spot #30 - oes tsetnoc

2009-09-23T00:23:00.000-07:00

So not too long ago I was saying how time's were changing for me in the oes tsetnoc. They're still changing but this time it's for the worst.

I'm currently coming in at number 30 for the oes tsetnoc! Also, I'm not even ranking in Google yet for the keywords "oes tsetnoc". Oh, I rank in Google. Just not the page I submitted to the contest.

Seriously I'm about ready to give up on the oes tsetnoc.

We're going into week number two of the oes tsetnoc now.

My rank has been dropping every other day but times are finally changing.

I'm number 17 at the moment but still way better than 21, which is where I was yesterday.

Day 10 - oes tsetnoc

2009-09-20T12:38:00.000-07:00

We're on day 10 of the oes tsetnoc and it's probably the worst day for me so far.

I'm in the 21st spot! Can you believe this crap? You ignore your site for one day and it all goes to hell.

I feel like giving up but I won't. I'll probably ignore the oes tsetnoc a little though.

Week 1 - oes tsetnoc

2009-09-18T20:21:00.000-07:00

The first week of the oes tsetnoc has just gone by. I have to say, this has been a really good experience so far.

I know that there are many more weeks to come but for the very first week in my very first oes tsetnoc, it was good.

I was really surprised with my rankings. I placed second for the first couple of days, but then I gradually slipped into the thirteenth spot.

We'll see how week 2 goes for me in the oes tsetnoc.

Today is the 6th day of the oes tsetnoc.

I've been doing pretty good until today. I'm still ranked, just the lowest I've ranked since starting. It seems like I'm continuously dropping in rank.

Right now I'm in 9th place. 9th place won't cut it though. There are only 3 prizes in the oes tsetnoc so I'm going to have to pull magic beans out of my ass or something and soon.

win oes tsetnoc

2009-09-15T12:59:00.000-07:00

So you've joined or you're thinking about joining the oes tsetnoc seo contest and now you want to know how to win?

Look no further! I'm going to give you some basic SEO tips. I won't get too detailed though. After all, I am a contestant in the oes tsetnoc.

Thw first thing you want to do is get a domain with the keywords "oes tsetnoc" in it. Free ones like this one are okay. The next thing you want to do is get some hosting. Again, free ones are okay. Try Blogger or WordPress.

Next, you want to get an article or two on your site. Make sure you use your keywords in your articles.

Do your basis SEO. Modify your header and footer to fit you needs - meta tags, keywords, etc.
[in this case, "oes tsetnoc"]

Now you want to browse the web for websites that are looking for link exchanges and contact them for exchanges. Do three-ways as one-ways might get you penalized by Google.

The above was very vague and basis, but I can't give away too much seeing as I'm trying to win the oes tsetnoc myself.

These methods have done me well so far; haven't fallen past number 5 since day one.

Good luck and have fun! [Google is your friend...]

2009-09-11T13:26:00.000-07:00

So far I'm doing pretty well in the oes tsetnoc seo contest.

I entered last night and before I went to bed, just for kicks, I checked the rankings to see if my name would actually show up and I saw that I'm second place! I checked back a few times today[yes, I'm obsesses] and I'm still in second place.

Hopefully I'll get up to first place by December. I really hope I don't get bored of this contest or forget about it. It's a nice prize. $1,000 USD just to rank number one in Google for "oes tsetnoc".

How hard can that be, right? :/
