Google page rank

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

In the last toolbar update of Google page rank a lot of very old and major websites lost their page rank, some of them came down from PR8 to 3-4 and a lot of them even went down to zero. I have noticed that they were mainly those websites which had a lot of sitewide footer links and in the side bars. I think most of those links are sponsored links to get pr advantage and eventually alter the google search engine results which is not something google would like so they tracked down these sites and killed them on ranks and pr both.

I dont sell links but I do have links to my own sites on almost every site and they are all relevant to each other but still some of my sites lost PR so not too sure how to get around that.

I am hoping that after removing all sitewide links from all my sites I will get my lost PR back in the next update which is not too far.. may be another month or so :)

Website Optimization Firm uses Web 2.0 marketing

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

Launching a new website is not an easy task like it used to be a few years back when search engines were not as smart as they are now. Search engines can even devalue in links based on what location of the page they are placed and any spammy looking or paid for links get discounted due to the all new google’s alog which is said to be in action now. To rank well in search engines now you need an expert website optimization firm not that you didn’t earlier but its just becoming more and more important to get every thing right to get more website traffic from organic search engines like google, yahoo and msn.

Thinkbigsites.com is reputed for staying a step ahead of the search engines cat and mouse game where seo professionally are normally the ones who get dodged time and again by search engines but not thinkbigsites.com as they use their unique web 2.0 technique to get leverage in search engine rankings and also use corporate blog marketing as one of their tools to get the desired rankings. Thinkbigsites.com claims to get you top ten rankings in major search engines within 90 days with a success rate of 95% and in my opinion this is just great and I am pretty impressed by the approach they take for seo.

Pay Per Click

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

For a web based business or even those websites who dont actually sell anything always need targetted traffic which is the only route to success be it building a community or selling something to the visitors, all these objectives can only be achieved by getting very targeted traffic.The best way to get instant and excelent targeted traffic is Pay Per Click. Although cpm based advertising is considered to be equally good but it is in my opinion good for those companies which are trying to create a brand image rather then getting targeted traffic to thier website.Apogee Search Blog has got some very very interesting posts about insight on the whole pay per click method of getting traffic.Adwords is passe now and Apogee is the most in thing now with thier business rising by the day they must be doing something right and to be honest they have to be doing a lot of things right for me to sit here and write about them as I dont move my lazy ass for ordinary things so take my word for this :) best pay per click traffic comes from apogee search.

Broadband voip

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

Its been a year since Ive been waiting for this site to rank on the first page of google search for keyword “broadband voip” and today it happened for the first time and I am sure it wont stay long as the competetion is pretty tough and I dont buy links like others do so I dont really have a chance. I am hoping that google does something about artificial or paid links and discounts them when calculating importance of a page.

.info domains

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

I have always wonderd .info domains cost the same as .com or a .net most of the time but then all of a sudden godaddy comes up with a special offer and sells them for 99 cents so were we being ripped off of is godaddy making losses on every sale? I have no clue as I am not very much into domain buying and selling and only concentrate on building good content and quality sites.

Google search playing up

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

On another site I am seeing the same trend now and organic search engine traffic dying for some reason and google has chucked deep into page 20-30 for most of the keywords so litrally no  traffic for me anymore :( I have hired a seo company to look into these problems for me which is going to cost me more then 2000 pounds but the money I am loosing on a daily basis is far more then that :(

Back link update

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

 There was a back link update just before google page rank update so I am hoping that this update was not final as this snap shot was a bit too early for me to get very good results.If the snap shot is taken now I am sure things would have been very different if another update takes place within a week or so, this does happen some times when google adjusts their alog to correct mistakes.

Another pr update

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

Google updated page rank for websites again yesterday and I got good results oveall but one of my sites dropped from pr6 to pr2 L I suppose google has changed their alog fo page rank as I havent lost any in links for that website and have been adding new content regularly.I am hoping things go back to normal soon.

Search engine marketing

Saturday, December 23rd, 2006

Launching a new website is pretty tough task these days as there is too much competetion in every niche and every possible keyword.Launching a new site isint tough in itself but the tough part is getting good number of visitors to your newly launched website and thats where search engine marketing firms come into play.

There are a lot of search engine marketing companies these days but a very few actually deliver what they say they will and a very very few have a good track record and have been in existance for long time and one of them is USWeb search engine marketing which has been in existance since 1995 and have a number of offices across the United states.

Search engine marketing is not something you can assign to every other firm in the market,one has to see what they been doing and how long have they been in business and do they have any reputed firms as clients and the most important of all is what they would do to your website.Some firms claim they will gurantee top rankings on google, Yahoo and Msn but what they do to achieve that is an alltogether different debate and thats where one needs to be extra careful.

Sem is not about just inlinks and stuffing your pages with keywords there is much more to it and thats what I learnt from Usweb and I would surely look into hiring them for my forthcoming website.
