SEMRush Pro Review

2011-04-28T10:28:00.005-05:00

Recently I had the opportunity to demo the pro version of SEMRush. Previously I was only using the FREE account. One I logged into the pro edition I was blown away with the amount of data you can get for your business. The data is not only exportable for later review showing you details on currently ranked keywords including keywords you may not have been tracking. Another great advantage for marketers is you can review a potential client before you engage with them, already aware of where they are with rankings as well running the tool on your competition and where they are in the competitive cycle.

Now that I am finished with my trial I will be picking it up as it is now a tool I keep in my toolbox. I have heard about this tool for years from some of the marketing conferences I attend each year and now understand the benefits of why any marketer should use this tool. I use many tools when researching my clients and competitors and highly recommend you at least signup for the FREE Trial.

Above is a simple screenshot of a basic search query you can get just on a keyword .... Just so much data it will make your head spin. Not only can you put a URL within the search box you can do this on any keyword.

Give it a try today and see if it will be a fit for your toolbox http://www.semrush.com

Mentionmap - A Twitter Visualization

2011-02-20T08:54:00.006-06:00

Wow I am impressed I found this little tool out on http://sphinn.com what Mentionmap does is it goes out to your twitter profile and develops a grid looking at some of your power circles of industry, friend groups and defines a cluster allowing you to dig deeper into your map looking for other profiles you may want to get involved in... at the other side of the spectrum if you where wanting to do a quick competitor analysis this would be one great visual tool to help identify missing areas in your profile group.

Advanced sign-in security for your Google account

2/10/2011 08:30:00 AM

(Cross-posted on the Gmail Blog)

Has anyone you know ever lost control of an email account and inadvertently sent spam—or worse—to their friends and family? There are plenty of examples (like the classic "Mugged in London" scam) that demonstrate why it's important to take steps to help secure your activities online. Your Gmail account, your photos, your private documents—if you reuse the same password on multiple sites and one of those sites gets hacked, or your password is conned out of you directly through a phishing scam, it can be used to access some of your most closely-held information.

Most of us are used to entrusting our information to a password, but we know that some of you are looking for something stronger. As we announced to our Google Apps customers a few months ago, we've developed an advanced opt-in security feature called 2-step verificationthat makes your Google Account significantly more secure by helping to verify that you're the real owner of your account. Now it's time to offer the same advanced protection to all of our users.

FREE SEO Report - No Strings Attached

2011-02-02T09:50:00.004-06:00

I came across this really cool tool that is totally free, so I tried it and sure enough it was free, after 24 hours I got an email from the Free SEO Report Site with details about one of my sites.. Very good data in one report. Once the report is completed the details are very helpful for even the non expert to review. I would suggest just putting your site in this tool as it will give you a visual idea of where you are and where you need to be. If you are going to want upgrade you can at only $19.99 per month to get even more goodies.

There are a ton of great internet marketing tools on the market to day however after seeing this tool I think FREE is always a great price for a great insight into how our online business is doing. Think of it as a health check up but for your website.

As the economy evolves and recovers we will see online business get even stronger so wouldn't it be a good idea if you already had the upper hand on your competition?

If you do run a report and have questions feel free to contact me about how you may improve your website and look to improve your conversions.

Keyword Tagging in Raven Tools - New Upgrades

2010-05-05T11:13:00.004-05:00

Again Raven SEO Tools makes it easier to keep track of your organic quest for Keywords. I submitted a ticket a few months ago for a tool to allow me to filter out my keywords that are ranking and pull out the keywords that are not so it would not effect my usage count in the SERP's tracking as my account allows me to track 1000 keywords currently.. However I use Raven Tools for other sites I run to keep track of where I stand overall..

Anyhow it looks like they came up with a way to tag your keywords from the SERPS window and then go into the Keyword Manager and choose to remove them from the account..

Last time I had to put them in a separate document and hunt for each keyword one at a time.. Now it is easy because I just put a tag called REMOVE and as I am going down the list of words I don't want to track anymore I can simply find my tag and bam it is done...

Thx Guys for always looking at ways to improving our experience and looking at time saving ways that you can include in your tools.

Google Announces Site Speed Signal - What is the Impact?

2010-04-13T08:05:00.004-05:00

Since January we have heard tons of business going to be effected with the new Algorithm Signal being part of the ranking algorithm ..

What is changing with Google and Ranking a Website?

You can find a ton of articles written about this new ranking algorithm, by going to Google and searching for words like "Google Site Speed Algorithm" the big deal seems to be to really enhance user experience.

What does this mean for business owners?

Just as a company must create a buying experience in their storefront, you must create that same experience online. If your web page takes more than a few seconds to load you obviously may loose visitors back to the search engine. Take for example we know that if we go to a search engine and type in a query and click on a link... and we go to a site looking for the information we requested. "SPEED MATTERS" as well Call to a Action Matters.

Looking at your website can tell you a few things however Google has given us a few tools that allow us know our exact issues with a website before the visitor does.

If you jump out to Google Webmaster Tools you can receive free advise directly from Google and see what a web spider sees also known as Google Bot. This information is something you can use for improving your site as well you will see areas that Google maybe having issues with your data. Not only can you use Google Webmaster Tools but Google Analytics together these tools can show you strong opportunity for growth in your company. Ok well know we have a few tools for tracking how our visitors are using our site and how Google Bot see's our website but how fast is my site loading is the next question you need to ask. Google has answered this by offering us a few nice firefox extensions and has created a complete section on their website explaining the benefits of optimizing your load time as well tips on how to tune your site.

Google SPEED: http://code.google.com/speed/ as they put it "Let's make the Web Faster"

it just makes sense, however it does take time to optimize your site for the new future of search.

Google and Microsoft Speak together about Experiments done!

Listen to Eric Schurman and Jake Brutlag as they speak about tests done with User Experience and Site Performance. As they have been working on a very intense experiment on this algorithm as they took random sites and watched, Bounce Rates, User Experience, Length it took for page to display as well many other test ran. If you own a business you should really make sure your marketing department is already looking into this.

Google Caffeine May Keep You Awake at Night

2010-01-13T09:26:00.014-06:00

Google’s project to re-engineer its search architecture, called Caffeine, has attracted little attention outside of the webmaster community.

Based on the company’s general public statements, a few things are clear. First, Google will include some new criteria, most notably speed, to determine search rankings. Second, Google anticipates that search results will be affected.

In short, if your company depends on page rankings because of an e-commerce focus or customer interaction in a business-to-business orientation, Google Caffeine may keep you awake at night.

Major Update

Google adjusts its search parameters almost daily, but this is the first overhaul in three years. The changes are “under the hood” and won’t affect how the results look, so users won’t notice.

Caffeine is already being used across most of Google’s data centers, if not all of them as the update started being noticed January of 2010. You may see Google making small changes and make tweaks to improve the new algorithm. Google stated at Webmasterworld Pubcon 2009 they would ensure the update did not take place during the major holiday shopping season, great news for business owners. What does this mean for us in 2010 as we all look for new ways in order to make our websites search friendly at the same time focus on user experience and higher conversions?

Well we shall see, most have already seen some of Google's cool new features such as live search in the results, pulling from Twitter and Facebook postings. Google now can index and show results in real-time, making it the fasted search engine on the internet not to say that MSN and Yahoo are trying to keep up with their engines. So where does a business owner start?

Additional Steps

Based on Google’s public statements, most notably from Matt Cutts, you should review pages in three areas:

Google wants it searches to be faster, and wants the pages it ranks to be fast, too. Accordingly, how fast pages load will now be a consideration as it ranks pages. Severs count, but you should also make sure your pages are designed effectively. Pay attention to excessive Flash presentations or scripts that are poorly written.

Original content, or existing content packaged in an original way, will be rewarded. Aggregating a large amount of content, with little or no relation to your business, and placing it on a site may be penalized going forward.

Don’t ignore search engine optimization (SEO) basics such as proper keywords, meta tags and good links. Take advantage of every tool that will legitimately increase your page rankings.

Google has additional resources, including SEO tips and a downloadable starter guide.

The Importance of Servers

As detailed in the section below, your business may already have the resources to adjust to the changes. But as a small or medium business, one consideration may put you at a disadvantage and that may just be your servers. Google will reward pages that load fast, and large companies can simply purchase a bigger and faster pipe if they need to. Bummer for the small companies that host on shared servers and don't have the resources to keep up with the internet giants. However their are many solutions such as Godaddy and other hosting companies that do well for site owners, however if you need to tweek something within your Linux or Windows server settings you are limited because of that magic word called "shared servers" ..

Yes, Godaddy and other hosting companies have options for you as they sell what is called dedicated servers. The issue I see with that is each company now has to understand how to manage a server not only should they need to understand what type of equipment that company is using such as the type of server the dedicated box is being stored on.

The big question I had to ask myself as a owner of many websites is:

What type of server is my site hosted on?
If the server was to crash, do I have a backup?
If I need more power or bandwidth what is that going to require?
What security measures is the hosting company taking to ensure my companies safety?

It almost is starting to sound like a business continuity plan for my business, another question is if my site went down today, how fast can I get it back online. If this site was to be my main source of income, how much money will I lose and will I go out of business.

However, I currently have my websites over at NetStandard Inc. a local Kansas City data center located just off I-35 and Lamar. I currently am employed there however I feel they could help you level the playing field. Transitioning from dedicated servers to virtual servers residing in a data center can ensure not only that you can sleep better at night instead of worrying about just your rankings but get you the right tools to accomplish a complete and solid goal for your business needs.

Sure there are tons of hosting providers around the world however the one thing that stands out is their customer service and ability to only offer you what you need and help keep your company safe and online, they can configure your servers in a virtual environment so that they are at maximum speed and efficiency. This makes good business sense, but is now an imperative with Google Caffeine.

This is just one benefit of virtualization, which also can eliminate server purchases, reduce ongoing technology costs and decrease energy usage, which helps the environment and saves you money.

One of the things I see out of this update is that it opens eyes to things we take for granted, such as when we come in to work we expect to be able to flip the light switch on and have our lights on and begin our business day. The same thing goes for technology, we expect that to run and do the same thing, however sometimes we may take that for granted and it is always good to be prepared.

The other thing I see is that Google has yes upgraded their technology but is allowing us as business owners the opportunity to start to better our side of things. As they are always giving us the tools to be successful such as new FireFox Plugins you can download and check your speed, as well Google Webmaster Tools and Google Analytics helping us understand our traffic and how to make better decisions as we grow.

If you look at Google's search model, you will see that they want to deliver the best results for visitors on their website with accurate feedback to the query you typed into the search bar. I see Google as getting better at this every year however as we know being within the first 10 results is very important when going after organic growth opportunities. So if you provide a true quality experience for your customer and have good content for them along with that visitor experience you are already ahead of the game.

Pubcon 2008 - Conference Itinerary Builder

2008-10-27T09:01:00.005-05:00

Today Webmasterworld announced on the corporate blog of Pubcon that there is a useful tool called Conference Itinerary Builder located on the Pubcon 2008 Vegas Session Agenda Grid Page if you look at the top of the page where the tags are for each day you will find this new helpful tag that is very helpful it will take you to the Build Your Conference Itinerary page allowing you to customize your calendar and choose the events similar to a shopping cart environment.

Once you are finished picking the sessions you wish to attend during the event you hit complete and it builds a nice organized list that you can print out as well copy and paste into your PDA. It would be cool to see them automatically sync the data with exchange or other calendar programs.

I normally put this information into my PDA so I am not running around Pubcon with tons of paper telling me about the event or where I am going. Technology has made us spoiled.. :)

Well for all of you that are headed to Pubcon 2008 Vegas I will see you guys shortly I will be staying out at Treasure Island. And plan to attend bloggers night out.

1:30pm-whenever PubCon - The Classic

Free SEO Backlink Tool from Pubcon 2007

2007-12-13T13:12:00.000-06:00

Wow, not only was pubcon great but the SEO's on the panel had some fun marketing tools used when running a site review. Dixon Jones from Receptional based in the UK from www.receptional.com provided many comments to the site reviews in the morning session Interactive Site Reviews - Focus on Links.

I noticed a few tools used such as Compete.com as well dnsstuff.com and many other tools however the main tool that made the largest impact on the SEO's in the Pubcon Session was noticed on the display screen every time Dixon switched over to his laptop. He was using his own tool developed by his in-house team with one of his lead programmers being at the conference Andy Langton who I enjoyed a few hours with at the Wynn Hotel Pub after attending the attending the Blue Men Group Show.

The SEO tool has been posted on Dixon Jones website for free and he has posted the username and password as well. Username: pubconPassword: pubcon Access the Link Tool from http://labs.receptional.com/links/

Some of the items that this tool will allow you to identify are how you compare to your competition with links.

Total Links
Trusted Links
Google PageRank
Homepage Links
Deep Links
Government Links
Educational Links
News Links
Dmoz Links
Wikipedia Links

It was great watching how many people wrote down the URL when Dixon Jones showed the page on the big screen in the site review. However since we all had an internet connection and most of us had our laptops with us we tried to go to this page on Receptional's site however what we did not realize was it was password protected.

After the site review session Dixon did hand out the password to people that requested it, however since he had such a high demand of webmasters wanting it he decided to post it on his blog for others to use this. It is un-known how long this password will work but I would suggest using it while you have the change it really is a good backlink tool.

Blue Man Group Las Vegas Nevada 2007

2007-12-01T01:38:00.000-06:00

‘Bloggers Night Out’ - From Pubcon 2007

Wow this event is already kicking off like no other event I have ever attending with the amount of news media on the recent topics with Thousands of Internet Marketers coming to Las Vegas for a Search Engine Marketing Conference in the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Tons of us will be arriving Monday Eve, I should be in about 9:30PM PT - 11:30PM Central Time sucks.... However we will be starting out a cool opener for Pubcon with its normal tradition with the Conference Introduction by Brett Tabke.

Then comes the Morning Keynote with Craig Newmark speaking about still not having a description of the details of the topic. I think it maybe kind of like last year when we had lines wrapping all the way around the halls and back down the elevators and out the doors. It was huge the following with Guy Kawaski .

Than after we have our morning jumpstart on coffee then we are off and running like kids off to school. Everyone I am sure like me already have it programmed into our PDA so we can adjust our schedule on the fly.

I think The Blue Man Group is a must see show in Vegas!

I would recomend going to The Official Blue Man Group Social Networking Community
http://www.roofdwellers.com/web/guest/login

As I remember we are having some great speakers on this exact topic.

* Social Marketing 101 - The Playing Field
* Social Media and Search
* Forums and Communities : Building, Management, and Optimization
* And So much More, Pubcon 2007 Vegas

I am headed to see the Blue Man Group Live Tuesday Night, It's almost like watching a Intel Commercial and a rock concert with robot and alien like people with blue faces and blue hands with tons of YouTube Posts out on the net to preview and comment on. These are some of the souvenirs I am after when I am down at Pubcon!

Well, I am going to crash out now... it is only 3:03am here in Kansas City and we have an freezing rain warning out here, so that means a cold weekend. I am not sure what the weather will be in Las Vegas but it has been in the 60-70 and getting in the 40's at night not bad since it is only 12 out side right now.

They are always working to improve their algorithm.

Pubcon December 2007 - What Sessions Are You Attending

2007-11-28T15:33:00.000-06:00

It's Pubcon Time Again... Get ready for SEO Brain Overload!

WOW, what a line up of topics this year at Pubcon as it is really hard to put together a schedule of what I am going to attend because of the caliber of sessions going on as other I am attending I almost wish I could clone myself for a few days and get everything however I have a list of sessions I do plan to attend.

I am putting this into my PDA Phone, as I have found in the past it is good to have everything prepaired before I go since I am charging batteries, reading emails between sessions and more as well trying to keep all the session data kept within my notes not overload my brain.

Why Do I need Search Engine Marketing?

2007-02-02T12:31:00.000-06:00

Many business owners today think that people will just find them; this is a partially true statement. Depending on how many people know about your brand will depend on how many people find you. This will also be determined from your effectiveness of normal business interactions; however what if you could get word of mouth business and free search engine traffic for terms that convert in to qualified buyers.

"A Professional SEO is the key to your success on the internet by targeting the right keywords and making sure that your site is found when people are looking for you."

Then what if you could effectively triple your investment with “Paid Per Click Traffic” such as using Google Adwords and other PPC Engines. With the right keywords you can gauge them based upon your conversions and include many other related terms into the mix to get more traffic for sometimes a lower cost. That would be very cool; however most business owners either lack the knowledge or time, resources to tap into the online space. This is where you need to do your homework and find a marketing firm or a talented individual marketer to assist your needs.

What is difference between Paid Advertising vs. Organic Advertising?

The best example of this would be anyone can pay for traffic but not everyone can rank for words specific to your industry without putting some time into it. Normally you rank in a search engine for the organic listings because the search engine feels you have a well put together site and most importantly you are relevant to the searchers query... Both work hand in hand however one is "FREE" and the other is not. Many benefits exist especially for high dollar industries such as the medical, legal, real estate just to name a few.

People can pay top dollar for some of these words but again they must study the daily trends to make sure that they are not just wasting their money. Studies have shown throughout the years that Searchers tend to click more on the organic search results over the paid due to their position on the page as well the searcher normally will only visit the first or second page of results until they refine their search query.

How does one get started?

You need to first find someone you can trust that has the experience you need.

Get a Site Review (Overall picture of your site)
Find a Qualified Optimizer that will help develop a SEO Plan
Execute the SEO Plan (Depending on its Ethics) “Do it Safe”
Evaluate and Test for effectiveness of SEO Plan

You need an optimizer that can study your business and become part of your marketing efforts to help increase your exposure as well study your traffic trends to improve your conversions. In my eyes SEO is always growing and is more then just getting traffic it’s about helping you sell more products from a website in an ethical manner, meaning using standard practices and following all the terms of services published by the search engines.

What to look for in an internet marketer:

When looking for an internet marketer you should do your homework first, find out more about what that marketer’s reputation is in the industry such as what types of work they have done and for whom. Sometimes the clients choose to be confidential so you may not always find out the clients. Also read their blogs or forum posts for intelligent reading, who knows you may actually get something out of them.

Ethical Marketing Tactics:

I am sure most of you business owners have heard of many ways to get listed on the search engines within 24 hours, as well seen those wonderful emails that spam your inbox daily with guarantees for top placement. I will not name any names for privacy purposes but I always get them as well the phone calls wanting to speak to the marketing director or the business owner.

I do all my SEO myself and most of the time I am upfront with these sales guys as they continue their written out sales pitch telling me that they can get me top ranking for any keyword I want….. “I always say wow that’s magic” the response is Yah we have helped many clients and we can do the same for you……LOL this is where most companies run into problems with these types of calls they show you some great examples of the work and log you into a demo that gets your blood racing.

I will not go into more depth because you can read more about this kind of thing happening all over the web… Just be careful about that kind of service, many business owners have paid the cost of getting their company domains banned and having to fight to get it back or not getting it back depending upon the penalty.

If you are un-sure what they are, I have put a few of the top search engines webmaster guidelines below.

Webmaster Guidelines for Staying in the Search Engines:

Google’s Webmaster Help Center
http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35769

MSN Guidelines for successful indexing
http://search.msn.com/docs/siteowner.aspx?t=SEARCH_WEBMASTER_REF_GuidelinesforOptimizingSite.htm

Yahoo! Search Content Quality Guidelines
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/basics/basics-18.html

Why is complying with the search engine terms of service important?

That is a very simple answer to that question, if you do not comply you will simply get your site banned or removed from their index…

Quote from Google : “Sites may be blocked from our index because they do not meet the quality standards necessary to assign accurate PageRank. We cannot comment on the individual reasons a pages may be removed. However, certain actions such as cloaking, writing text in such a way that it can be seen by search engines but not by users, or setting up pages/links with the sole purpose of fooling search engines may result in removal from our index. Please read our Webmaster Guidelines for more information.”

Windows Vista - Microsoft Introduces New Operating System

2007-01-31T17:11:00.000-06:00

Looks like a good move from Microsoft with Windows Vista taking the digital world to life in a different ways... I watched a great video off the Microsoft site after hearing about this all over the web from Technorati to Feedburner..

The video starts out with a live band playing with a great introduction to Bill Gates, telling us what Microsoft is trying to do for all the mobile, gaming and digital world plus much more.

The video also goes through screenshots of the new operating system. Take advantage of the new tools for keeping track and making changes to photos on the fly. Within minutes you can build your own dvd for family in minutes.

Office 2007 is also a new product launched around Windows Vista and helps create documents with ease with different preview options and the availability to easily work with pictures from your digital camera. Other features that will help the non technical person to make images rounded and many other effects built into the program..

Other elements such as games can due cross platform play with your xbox 360 plugged into your pc allowing you to communicate from your laptop and connect to your kids from across the world.... WOW that is cool stuff.

The cool thing for parents is the controls for our kids, You can now set time limits for use as well as game ratings and much more.. Also a parent can all get a activity report so as a parent we can see what sites the child has tried to go to but was blocked or things they saw during there computer session.

Microsoft Windows Vista is compatible with your Xbox 360 sitting down at the TV and I can transfer my slide show presentations to my big screen TV down stairs or maybe a training module from an online school. The opportunities are limitless... I look forward to seeing the impact once more people get the upgrade and the bugs are worked out of the new operating system...

Listen to Bill Gates talk about Windows Vista

New Google Page Rank Updates revealed by Matt Cutts

2007-01-23T08:19:00.000-06:00

Wow this maybe a great move my Google to update their PageRank index every 1-2 days vs every 3-4 weeks. I am interested to also see how the plans with the supplemental results will play a part in the SERP results and provide more traffic... Great Article a must read... I will keep my up to date with the recent changes...

Another Great move to improve search quality by Google...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Article from Axandra Search Engine Facts:

Google's Matt Cutts is the premier source for all things related to Google and search engine optimization. He works for the quality group of Google, specializing in search engine optimization issues.
Matt Cutts has just revealed Google's latest ranking plans for 2007 in his blog.
How you might be affected by Google's plans for the next weeks:

It is likely that you will see more variance in your Google rankings because Google's internal databases are going to be updated every 1-2 days instead of every 3-4 weeks.
Google usually reveals PageRank updates quarterly to the public. A new PageRank update is underway. However, this does not mean that your Google rankings will change because the new PageRank values are already incorporated into their ranking algorithms.

Google's supplemental results should be nothing to be afraid of. If your site shows up in the supplemental results, then don't worry. According to Matt Cutts, the PageRank of a web page determines if the page appears in the regular or supplemental results.
The supplemental results continue to get fresher, "and website owners may see more traffic from their supplemental results pages."
Google plans to change the "filetype:" operator so that it doesn't require an additional query word.

Google discovered a small anomaly with .com domains that are hosted outside the US. A fix has been submitted so the rankings of the affected sites might change.
There will be no "major infrastructure-related" ranking updates in the near future.

What you can do to get high rankings in the new Google?

Matt Cutts makes it clear: "The approach I’d recommend in that case is to use solid white-hat SEO to get high-quality links (e.g. editorially given by other sites on the basis of merit)."
That's why our award-winning web promotion tools focus on white hat SEO methods. Using ethical search optimization methods requires some work but the results last much longer.
Search engines continually change the way they rank web sites. If you use shady tricks and techniques that exploit current flaws in search engine algorithms then you won't get lasting results.

You have to create web pages that are interesting to human web surfers. These are the web pages that search engines want to display in their results.

Webmasterworld Pubcon 2006 - Vegas Update #3

2006-11-14T23:41:00.000-06:00

Pubcon started with some long lines today with everyone excited and eager to hear Guy Kawasaki speak. Once they opened the morning event open to go in without a pass due to the huge amount of people at this event. I think in my times going to the Vegas Pubcon Conference Events this has to be the biggest group I have seen. It was great almost every chair was filled each room I attended.

Another great new project of mine is to learn more about Second Life: Your World. Your Imagination.

The speakers were awesome, and explained in detail how to optimize and do better internet marketing with a few extra pointers along the way. I really enjoyed the morning sessions about social marketing strategies as well other alternatives to online optimization tips.

Todd Malicoat had some great add-ons to the picture of what not to do when marketing and the importance of contributing to social search networks. He really focused on not spamming them but use them to help visitors get what they are looking for not filling the networks full of junk.

I also enjoyed the session for Content, they spoke about how to build a quality site with meaning and showing us ways to develop stronger conversions by learning to understand what your visitors want to read about. How can you display your message by keeping it simple.

Webmasterworld Pubcon 2006 - Vegas Update #2

2006-11-14T08:13:00.000-06:00

Day One - Pubcon 2006 Vegas

Well I got in last night around 8pm and got all setup in my hotel room at the Alexis Park Resort & Spa so far it has been a great stay. The room they gave us is huge, I have a spa in my room and it is a 2 story hotel room almost like a little condo.

My business partner Rick Noble and I went over to a Chinese Restaurant in China Town Vegas, as he said the best Chinese food he has had. Well the bummer part was the small little restaurant was no longer in business however right next to the building we found a really great Chinese restaurant that WOW was great.

I am looking forward to seeing all my friends I have made in the past from the other Pubcon Events I have attended in the past.

I am looking forward to meeting Guy Kawasaki as I have heard a lot of great things about his speaking skills. Also I will be attending these Pubcon Sessions today.

Webmasterworld Pubcon 2006 Vegas Session Agenda:

"Get a chance to talk with the BankCard Central Staff for more info on their Merchant Account Referral Program."

- Feeds, Blogs, News, and Social Search

- In-House Optimization Forum

- Feeds and Other Alternative Optimization Opportunities

Webmasterworld Pubcon 2006 - Vegas Update #1

2006-11-12T17:47:00.000-06:00

I will be flying out tomorrow, my wife and kids just got on a plain to my wife’s parents house while I am out of town at Pubcon 2006...

Well I am just getting finished packing and getting ready to head out to work in the morning then jump on a plain to Vegas to attend one of the most popular events in Search Engine Marketing. Soon there will be over a thousand high-level webmasters attending an event that is put on by Webmasterworld.com the CEO / Brett Tabke.

This event offers a high level of education for SEO (Search Engine Optimizers) other known as Webmasters. It also has sessions that are geared a bit lower for the new guys just getting into SEO as well business owners to help them understand what other marketing options they have.

I have attended tons of these events, and every Pubcon event just gets better every year.

The reason I attend each year is because it is not like your normal boring SEO or Photoshop Conference that you walk away without anything. This event is a gathering of business owners, internet marketing specialists, and webmasters of all kinds. Each webmaster has something different they can share such as tips, or "do's and don'ts". Some people party others just have fun, I would suggest if you are looking to attend any search engine marketing event that is worth your money it would be the Webmasterworld Pubcon Events.. Wow a whole $499 .............

It seems that all the Hotels near the Las Vegas Conference Center has been booked solid...

I will try to keep this blog up to date as I find out cool stuff...

Don't forget to checkout the BankCard Central handout found in your Pubcon Event Bags

Yahoo Update August, 30 2006 - Search Results Update

2006-08-30T21:24:00.000-05:00

Well Yahoo seems to have done it again, Go Yahoo!

It's great all the competition between search engines worldwide, Yahoo is doing really well in my eyes in the last few days. Yahoo has updated the search algorithm again. This time it seems that they are developing a stronger index do to my last experiences on the web I search on that search engine more than Google. I feel every search I have been getting on Google have been 60% Search Spam. I have noticed I get more answers to my searches on the internet, as well more around my search topic.

For Example if you search:

Trout Worms
On Yahoo Search
Results for the Top 10 that are very relivent to the search. Like Cabelas.com, Basspro.com and many others. I feel these are almost accurate to what I would search for my daily fishing habits.

Matt Cutts SEO Answers on Google Video

2006-08-01T11:17:00.000-05:00

Matt Cutts just introduced his recent achievements on his Q&A Video collection answering webmasters questions about search engine marketing and the correct ways to optimize.

Matt Cutts points out in his first video of course his disclaimer explaining that he is making these Google videos for webmasters to help with the confusion and that these are only his thoughts and that Google should not be held responsible for stupid things he may say... LOL

I really don't think he can say stupid things; Matt Cutts is very intelligent and works with many optimizers like myself. He is a great speaker at the Webmasterworld Pubcon Events. Every time I have heard Matt Cutts speak at these seminars he has continued the webmasters not to use crazy webmaster tricks and make a quality site that the search engines can find. Below I have posted a few links to Matt Cutts Google Videos to show you what I found this morning. Thanks to a few guys at SEO Guy Forum I came across this post and watch the Google Videos. Matt Cutts answers a ton of great questions from webmasters writing in for Matt to read. I got a few great techniques out of his video most I already implement. One of the tools Matt Cutts points out in the video was using a text browser to ensure that your site can be crawled correctly and seen by a search engine. I used to use text browsers a long time ago however when he pointed out a specific tool I ran the tool on a few of my sites and yes things look different but I can get to every page in my site from links. If you want to give this cool SEO Tool a try go to Lynx Viewer

Matt Cutts New SEO Q&A Google Videos:

First, the video disclaimer

Session 1: Including qualities of a good site.

Session 2: Including some SEO Myths.

Session 3: Should you Optimize for Search Engines or for Users?

Session 4:

- Static vs. Dynamic urls: does PageRank flow the same to both? What pitfalls should I avoid with dynamic urls?- Can Sitemaps alert webmasters when their site has been hacked?- Can I do geotargetting within Google’s Quality Guidelines?

Session 5:

- Merging acquired domains with 301s?- How to create a site architecture with themes and keywords?- My urls have too many parameters–can I serve up static HTML to Googlebot instead?- How to do split A/B testing?

Session 6: All about Supplemental Results

- Should I worry about results estimates for 1) supplemental results 2) using the site: operator 3) with negated terms and 4) special syntax such as intitle: ? Answer: No. That’s pretty far off the beaten path.- Why do 301s take so long to be reflected in supplemental results? It’s been months.- I started appearing in the supplemental results in May–should I be worried?

Pet Fence for our new dog - Pet Stop Dog Fence Systems

2006-07-25T15:01:00.000-05:00

Four Paw Fencing an authorize Kansas City dealer for Pet Stop Fencing, they have installed a wonderful invisible pet fence completely around our yard a month ago and I cannot believe that this thing really works.

I had my fears of an invisible fence being installed I didn’t think it would work to be honest. I really was going for a wooden fence around the yard to keep our newest member of our family safe. We however received a few bids and ouch it was going to cost a fortune just to get that setup. At the time our little dog was on a 25 foot dog lead in the backyard and he hated it. So Four Paws Fence came out and gave a very reasonable bid we could afford.

They came out and set the system up in 1 day and trained our dog and us. It was great they setup the flags and turned on the collar, ever since Ernie never bothers to run out of the yard and is now safe. We moved to Kansas City a year and a half ago and had wanted a dog for the kids however never had the budget for a fence. Now the kids run around the house and the dog can follow without being tied to a lead or on a leash. We have a very happy dog, with freedom to do anything he wants.

3-Day Breast Cancer Walk, Kansas City

2006-07-20T00:25:00.000-05:00

Message from my Wife one of many as a 3-Day walker for Breast Cancer 2006 - Help us find a cure!

Hello every one!

I can not believe that the walk is so close now. I am getting very nervous but so excited at the same time. It is so hard to explain how I feel. It seems the only ones that know how I feel now are the ones that are walking with me. My stomach has butterflies and when I think about the walk I do not know whether to laugh or cry. I have come so far.

This Saturday the 22nd I will be taking my biggest walk yet. I with my team will be walking a 20 mile walk. This is going to be an eye opener for what is to come. I have got some new inserts to go into my shoes to help with my heel pain. I guess that pain is all part of the sacrifice. And it is so worth it.

On these long walks I have to remind myself why I walk. This is something that is so important. With my mother being a 2 time survivor and my inspiration, it is my duty to walk, and my daughter Hannah; oh my beautiful girl; I do not want her to know a world with breast cancer.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for helping me on this journey. I am now $700 away from my goal. But that is still $700 away. And here comes that hard part. I tell you it is easier to get milk from a bull than it is to ask for donations. For me any way, but if you know of any one who has been affected by cancer or would just like to be apart of something greater than themselves. Please tell them about me, and my walk. I walk for every one who can't. And who knows maybe I walk for them. Please send them to www.deborahrock.com where they can make a tax deductible donation.

Thank you all so very much.

Walk Strong... and keep the spirit high, we will find a cure!

With love and hugs,

Deborah Rock

It was great, this lake had some cool things to see such as huge snapping turtles and fire flies.

Susan G. Komen 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk - Donations Needed

2006-06-12T21:05:00.000-05:00

My Wife Rights a wonderful email in regards to the 3 Day Breast Cancer Walk 2006 Event

Please read what she has to say about why she walks for everyone.

Hello neighbors,

I know that most of you do not know me. But a lot of you have seen me walking. I am the one that is always walking, most of the time at 5:30 in the morning to beat the heat. I am training for the Breast cancer 3 day. For those who do not know what that is, it is a 60 mile walk that goes over the course of 3 days. It is an amazing soul searching journey on a great walk to find a cure for Breast Cancer.

Did you know that 1 in 7 women will get Breast Cancer? And out of that, usually one of the women loses the battle. Breast Cancer affects more then just the people who get Breast Cancer. It affects the children, the husbands, and the surrounding family. And even if you do not have any one in your family that has been affected, chances are you know some one who has. The 3 Day supports the Susan G. Komen foundation and the National Philanthropic Trust Fund. What that fund does is it takes a small percentage of the donations and puts it in to a trust fund. So for any reason donations stop coming in there is a trust fund to help further the research to find a cure for Breast Cancer.

One of the commitments of signing up for the 3 day is to raise $2,200 to find a cure. So I am asking you to reach in to your hearts and find an amount that you feel you can donate to this cause to end Breast Cancer and to offer a cancer free world to the future of our grandchildren!

You can make donations a few ways. One is mailing in the donation form attached to the flyer. Another way is going on line to www.deborahrock.com and that will re route you to the donation site for the 3 day.

Donations are tax deductible. If you mail in a donation via mail, you will receive your tax form through mail. If you donate on line you will receive your tax information almost immediately.

One thing I know a lot of you are thinking as if I were in your place I would think this as well. Why should I donate to you? I do not even know you. I understand that, but one great thing I have learned since I moved here from California last year is that the neighborhood is really united, and right now we need to unite on a common cause. Not just to end Breast Cancer but all Cancer. This just seems like a good place to start.

My mother is a 2 time survivor, so this walk really touches home. If you donate on line, you can donate in honor or in memory of some loved one or friend.

I thank you all now in advance for your generosity and showing me how right I am on how united this neighborhood is.

Thank you…

Walk Strong!!!
Deborah Rock…
60 miles in 2006

In support for my beautiful wife. Walk Strong Sweetie.

Cub Scout Day Camp 2006 Pack 393 KCMO - HOAC-BSA Heart of America Council

2006-06-07T22:41:00.000-05:00

Camp-Platte County Fairgrounds - Cub Scouts in Hollywood 2006

More Photos from Cub Scout Pack 393 Kansas City, MO

Wow is all I can say about today at cub scout camp of June 2006 Kansas City MO. I took today off of work to spend the day with my son having fun with archery, BB Gun's and tons of other things for the boys to learn and have fun. I must of taken about 500 or more pictures of Cub Scouts having a blast. These Cubs really had a great day considering the heat but really to come to think about it the kids had no idea how hot it was they just kept kicking strong with every session they completed.

The Start of the Day.

Our first session today was Cub Scout compass course. We learned how to count paces and learn how to navigate when hiking and other cool events but it was cool learning our directions and figuring out that some cub scouts are shorter than the others and they will always have a different pace count than a taller scout.

Next we went for lunch and the kids had a blast with only getting 20 minutes to eat and rest we didn’t have much chance to do much other than fill up the water bottles and get the boys in the shade.

Then we went and played some kickball with another Cub Scout pack. It was a great game the boys all got a chance to kick the ball into the kickball field away from camp.

At this point the kids were starting to feel the heat we soaked them with the next event starting out everyone was playing regular volleyball and then it got wet we had pails of water and big yellow sponges and the cub scouts all got soaked with the other team member trying to hit another cub scout in the other pack to get them soaked and of course the sidelines one of Pack 393 Leaders went to soak her son who was a cub scout camp staff member helping other packs have fun at their first experiences of what camp is all about and what to expect when they move from cub scouting to Boy Scouts.

We had some great den chief's out with us and of course we had Shawn who was so cool with the boys and such a big help with pictures to prove how tired this scout was from helping maintain all the cubs and not get soaked since they all went the Cub Scout camp trading post and got squart bottles with an unlimited water supply "Their water bottles" an endless water source.

The kids all got soaked, however one scout stood out as the most soaked as we could hear his shoes going "squish, squish" this was Josh P and of course I got a few pictures of that moment.

After this we when and relaxed back at camp for a little while until we heard the ice cooler open and one of the other den leaders started passing out root beer small can soda and said now its time for the burping contest you should have seen the kids faces when they now can burp like they never burped before without getting in-trouble with "MOM" .... LOL ya we had some great awards for the boys, we also had the 2006 Pack 393 Burping Champion.

Cub Scout Activity "Bead Snakes"

Next we headed out away from camp again to make a snake out of beads and a string. The Cub Scouts really had fun with this activity as they started out rough but really got the hang of building the bead snakes. Every scout completed one on his own with little support.

First Aid Activity "Basic Safety & Stretcher Emergency Cub Training"

The start of this event was cool, the camp trainer opened the activity with how many of you cubs have never needed a bandage?

Well sure enough all the kids didn’t raise there hands. Then the camp trainer started to teach the kids when and how to use a bandage and to properly clean the cut and keep it clean for proper healing.

After we got the basics of first aid we all got to take turns being the person to get carried out in a stretcher. All the cub scouts joined together by holding each part of the stretcher and not dropping the injured Cub Scout. The kids had a great time and we loved watching on the sidelines grabbing the stretcher to keep the strength of the pack coming together to learn a very important skill and that is team player involvement.

And then we ate with the pack family and got ready for the closing of camp for the day. Pack 393 Kansas City, MO got the opportunity to help with retiring a flag ceremony and the boys did great.

It was a great day off for me, no meetings just time to spend with my son and his friends.

Natural Holistic Medicine - Dr. Suzanne Alt

2006-05-23T12:05:00.000-05:00

Great New Site, from Dr. Suzanne Alt speaking about holistic medicine practices. I am building her a presents on the internet as a thank you for working to heal my knee.

Back in 1997 I injured my knee in a skiing accident working as a ski instructor I blew my knee out saving a 4year old from hitting trees as she flew down the mountain at a very quick speed yes she forgot how to stop. I finally caught up to her and was able to get her to stop however when I did this I was unable to stand up and knee I did something very bad to my knee. Since then I have been in unbearable pain due to the knee injury.

I have seen many doctors and have also had my knee scoped, I was then told the I have degenerative joint disease and things were just going to get worse. I would be on pain killers the rest of my life. I moved out to Kansas City last year to work for BankCard Central and was introduced to a very interesting treatment called "prolotherapy" this treatment is designed to help grow tissue around the torn areas of the injury.

I figured I would give it a try so we did the Ultrasound Directed Prolotherapy treatment and Dr. Alt found 12 tears in my knee. I was able to see these tears on the ultrasound monitor and WOW this was incredible because none of the other doctors had seen these tears from a MRI.

I started the treatment about 3 months ago and since my last appointment we found that the knee is finally fixing it self. I hope this continues because since I started the treatment I have now been able to play baseball with my son and do more activities with less pain.

Thanks Dr. Suzanne Alt

Fishing Report for Weatherby Lake, Missouri 5-21-06

2006-05-22T00:07:00.000-05:00

Weatherby Fishing with my son Josh!

Wow what a great weekend,

My son out fished me this weekend.... I got a lot of bites and pulled in with my son's help a little largemouth bass, maybe 7inches however my son pulled in a huge largemouth bass of 5lb using a blue and black booyah jig with a zoom black trailer and only 10lb test and with his new Berkley cherry wood rod.

I wish I got a photo but there was a bit of wind and I was keeping the boat from drifting. I only had to just turn off the trolling motor and grab the bass.. We then continued to fish as we went toward home, this time we really only had around 2hrs before he had his first baseball game of the year...

Good kid and I cannot wait until next weekend and I think he feels the same.

Josh is seen walking around with Alex Mardikian.

This was the koolest thing for my boy.... he is always watching me work on the Von Dutch Kustom Cycles official website and now has posters of bikes from Von Dutch on his walls in his bedroom. Now all he needs is for Alex to get him a few posters to replace the ones with autographs on them.

Von Dutch Kustom Cycles Tour:

I think this was the coolest thing my son has ever seen. It was great we got back from our meeting and Josh was building a chopper to show Alex out of knex

I took a picture of it and will develop the photos and post them...

Thanks, Von Dutch Kustom Cycles - Alex

Wow Pubcon Boston has done it again, I have had a great time and its not done yet..... I have spoke to many marketers as of tonight and finally got a chance to introduce myself to Matt Cutts from Google as well as many others and was very surprised to see Jill Whalen tonight at the Sheraton Hotel in Boston. Everyone is very friendly and eager to speak about there experiences in market their sites. As we all know things are always changes for the online marketing industry but this is exactly why we have Pubcon events from webmasterworld.

However we are still not done, with constant changes and search engines updates. I made it a point to get out to this conference here in Boston for the simple fact. I wanted to know if what I was doing for my SEO was correct. I was able to express my thoughts tonight to Matt Cutts as he was always very easy to speak too and took the time out to answer my questions. I found that the organic optimization session today great and very interesting, Matt Cutts as well as Bruce Clay pointed out some great facts about what not to in internet marketing and how not to used CSS as well they complemented the good things done from optimizers. Of course Dixon had many great points in my theories with linking as well with analytics I found very useful.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone in the morning and tomorrow night for the Special Event

So far Pubcon Boston 2006 has been great and I look forward to attending other webmasterworld events.

Fishing Report for Weatherby Lake, Missouri 3-25-2006

2006-03-26T13:45:00.000-06:00

Well it has been warming up here in Kansas City for the last few days.

"It's almost Bass Fishing Season" Get your fishing rods out!

I went fishing today with fishing buddies today & we landed 2 large mouth bass at Weatherby Lake in Kansas City MO.

Weatherby Lake is a private lake with a huge habitat of large mouth bass, crappie and trout. Marty Wesley was the lucky one today reeling in 2 nice size bass however the rest of us guys on the boat didn’t do as well. The bass caught by Marty Wesley a weatherby lake local caught the bass using a blue and black booyah jig with a black yum trailer.

Everyone has been waiting all winter to catch bass again and cannot wait until the spring to really kickoff the largemouth bass spawn.

More to come soon from Weatherby Lake in Kansas City Missouri

One Way Links

2006-03-06T08:35:00.000-06:00

How to get one-way links, and what are some elements of acquiring these links?

Building Links to your website is one of the most important things you can do as a business owner marketing a internet business, and the way you get those links is another thing.

In my opinion, I see getting one way links will be increasingly harder to accomplish, however as long as you have something to say about your industry as well you can get other excited about it at the same time, you will become increasingly sucessful online within time. Link building is a very slow processes and if people find something you are saying as a value to other people they will naturally link to you.

Once you figure out what people want in your industry you need to contribute as much as information that you can. I feel that content will continue to play a large roll in how internet marketing optimize websites. I still believe in the old school SEO for content and links still play the big roll of getting visitors and spiders to find your articles.

Article Submission is just one avenue that web site owners can do in-order to get the word out of who they are. This works in similar ways a printed article would work. Ad content to a news paper or a magazine etc, you build your branding. However the web has become one huge news paper and more people in the world are relying on this source of up to date information. This said a ton of web site owners do not have the time to spend writing articles nor have the staff to do this in-house so what options do they have. Well many companies that out source this have great success with increase sales as well as another set of eyes looking at their company.

Press Releases also provide another avenue for introducing to the world your company and what you provide to the industry. It seems that more people are reading news pushed out from our major search engines every day. Search engines pick up these articles / press releases and post them on many sites across the web including MSN News, Yahoo News and Google News.

Press Release News Examples:

http://www.prweb.com
The recognized leader in online news and press release distribution service for small and medium-sized businesses and corporate communications.
PRWeb pioneered Free Press Release Distribution and continues to set the standard for online news distribution.

Here are a few ways to get links back to you:

- Make good quality content to attract visitors and webmasters
- Submit your articles to Article Archive sites
- Submit Press Release articles out on PRWeb and other networks.
- Type in to Google, Yahoo and MSN "jewelry" + "submit" find sites to get links on as well you can find other directories to add your site.

This is just a few ways to drive quality traffic to your website, the more you create the BUZZ the better your web site can do in the search engines.

Hack FedEx Kinko's ExpressPay system SmartCard

2006-03-03T16:32:00.000-06:00

Wow this is crazy, I came accross this on digg.com.

The ExpressPay stored-value card system used by FedEx Kinko's is
vulnerable to attack. An attacker who gains the ability to alter the
data stored on the card can use FedEx Kinko's services fraudulently
and anonymously, and can even obtain cash from the store.

This video shows a couple guys hacking the FedEx Kinko Smart Cards. It actually works. They paid a buck and hacked the card to give them $50 bucks. They could have easily cashed out that 50 bucks at the cashier.

Matt Cutts Interview - Webmaster Radio - New Update on Big Daddy

2006-02-24T16:26:00.000-06:00

Webmaster Radio has a great archive with a live interview with Matt Cutts talking about Google and "Big Daddy" expected to be completed mid March possibly later. Matt Cutts also speaks about blogging and the power of useful content.

Listen to Webmaster Radio - Matt Cutts Interview

Big Daddy - The future of Google, change in policies and procedures. Google is collecting data as they roll out Big Daddy and help to correct the algo.

No More Google Dance, hear comes Big Daddy data servers. Changes will continue for the next few months and so on. Matt explains that changes to users and webmaster will less apparent but some will have sometime of effect.

Changes to the algo will change continues and no longer going to a monthly update status it will be done on more of a daily basis. You should be able to see the effect of your changes within the day if not sooner. Matt Cutts also discusses the redirect Google is laying to frame work, building policies a bit but not much with use of sub domains, redirects as well as duplicate content. The SandBox or LitterBox is it or not? A test done with pure duplicate content and 301 Redirects and ranked well on the algo. Huh... Makes you think!

Matt saying that the sample site had no penalties but looked a bit wonky "Huh again" what does he mean by these kind of comments? Google seems to really hit on the Duplicate content being a very strong statement.... DON'T Duplicate!

Age does it have to be a factor...Older sites is a much better advantage

Link growth may play into the new algo, they are not wanting a site to grow more naturally.

- how do you grow that slowly and effectively.

Spam now defines what works just like Spammers + SEO's go after. He speaks about viral marketing being much more powerful. I believe that yes that is how your site should always be creating articles and such.

Matt Cutts also discusses the hijack issues being built into The Big Daddy Algo Update. Matt Cutts speaks a little about supplemental index issues, for the less trusted pages for issues with duplicate content.

---------------------------------------------------------------

What is the Supplemental Index?

A supplemental result is just like a regular web result, except that it’s pulled from our supplemental index.

Google Sitemaps tool has evolved into a webmaster console, it may have better tools included in the future. Google URL removal tool Matt Cutts warns to be careful about using the tool, some webmasters have shot themselves in the foot with this tool.

Big Daddy – What I see as the future of Google Marketing

2006-02-24T11:56:00.000-06:00

The reasoning’s are really based on only observations on my part and listening from what I have gathered from online forums and speaking with other optimizers. I believe because of the investors and the push paid advertising to generate capital income they are moving into a realm of "Who has the most $$$ to stay a in the game"

Google is a major player in internet search however with all of the recent changes happening almost every month now along with MSN Updates happening as well Yahoo it has become a huge battle of the Search Engines.

I feel that Google knows something is happening with MSN because if its enormous growth in the last few months. They have really done a great job with more spam control and bettering the search results. I have noticed just with MSN Results in the last few days we have seen more relevant searches than Google as well much more traffic. I believe that MSN Search has other things up its sleeve that most have no clue what can happen and when. Most of the MSN updates have been very silent and fast vs. Google with Big Daddy launching on the 19th of Feb. I believe that this release is really to have the ability to filter more of the sites in the index and clean things up, however when any type of mass clean up projects take place major company web sites suffer for a mistakes made by the patch of the servers. It is very hard to tell exactly what will happen and this is why a optimizer must stay on top of every important move or update and to follow flux in rankings etc.

What I see as a future need of any online business:

I believe that the future of the internet will really focus on who has the news of their industry.

Examples:

- Press Releases
- Article Submission
- Links
- Well optimized site that is growing every month. - Such as new content added to the site based on the industry topic.

Most companies do not realize that internet marketing is a major part in having a website and most do not understand the importance of a full time optimizer. Most companies will not make it through all of the updates but those who understand the need for external online exposure "THE BUZZ" will profit. Internet Marketing is a somewhat a new industry and I see the future of being web sites being placed well on Google will be much more difficult project to get optimal positions without increased external exposure.

Google loses image battle with soft porn publisher

Google PR Update

2006-02-20T14:31:00.000-06:00

It seems that Google is doing its algo update. I have noticed only a few changes today however it seems that this update is part of a new series of updates with "Big Daddy" we will have to see what this new Google Bot works into it's NEW UPDATES we can only keep our fingers crossed. I have noticed one of my sites loosing top level PR but staying the same on my internal pages. I have also noticed my blog increasing to 4/10 I don't know how long it will stay this way but its cool for now.

Strange things with Yahoo Search Results

2006-01-24T23:52:00.000-06:00

It looks like a few search engine forums are getting a bit of chatter about strange things happening with Yahoo Search Results here on Jan 24 2006 its seems like yesterday that we had Jagger1- 3 just before the holidays but now I hear that things are strange for others on Yahoo Search not just me going crazy thinking the sky is falling....LOL

OFF Track for a moment:

As my son would say Chicken ::: Little... Ya he is only 6 but he cracks me up with the things he says sometimes... Sorry went off the subject I was looking at the Cub Scouts Pinewood derby car that is not ready for the track and here I am on the computer. My son should get a huge kick from his dad taking this little block of wood and turning it into a race car.... He is going to trip out that he has a "HOT" Pinewood Derby Cars almost ready for the track when I come home from work. He gets to race it this weekend.....

BACK ON TRACK...LOL

I have looked at my logs and found that I had some flux in traffic today as well flux in search engine results being on top #10 to second or third page to #1 page again within a few hours....Very Strange and I have no explanation WHY!

I have noticed within the last week I have noticed a huge change in my traffic with Google being my main target for SEO I find myself now ranking very well in Yahoo, MSN, and Google...

I hope to find out more about the Yahoo Update 2006 January edition 1/25/06

New Fishing Tackle for Walleye

2006-01-09T20:59:00.000-06:00

Wow I just got in the fedex mail today. I just recived a great new fishing bait for walleye and other fish. It is the coolest unique fishing tackle I have ever seen. I look at crazy stuff at Cabelas every sunday getting hot sauce and of course BBQ sauce. LOL

Ya and I sneak a peak at the fishing gear.....

Don't get me wrong but if you loved fishing you would look tooo..... Any how I found this lure and also posted the product line 2 weeks ago on my home page with one of my domain named sites....

Sorry I had a fishing moment.

How can I get more organic search engine traffic?

2006-01-03T11:53:00.000-06:00

I would say if you want traffic to a website you need to stir things up a bit.

CREATE THE BUZZ..

If you have a product or service that is worth while talk about it on your site and in press releases get it out there. Just don't duplicate yourself and kill your content with a duplicate content penalty. If you build it correctly they will come, but good SEO techniques take time as for the directory submission I have found on my test sites that submitting to fast can hurt you more than its worth.

Getting one-way links from quality sites in your same theme will help more. It's getting much harder to buy your way to the top and this is where clean SEO techniques help. You need to read about what is happening in the search engine industry and use test sites to determine if something can hurt or help.

2005-12-21T00:56:00.000-06:00

I just found this on a forum post and it was talking about the new backlink update we just had I saw a 2x increase on most of my sites.

This command post really is cool

Forum Post:

The link: command generally only shows around 5% of the total number of backlinks, so if you're seeing 1 out of 15, you're doing OK.

Do yourself a favor, NEVER use that command on Google. It is worthless. If you want a decent sense of your backlinks from other sites, go to Yahoo and use this command:

linksite:yourdomain.com -site:yourdomain.com

It will show you most of the links Yahoo knows about from other sites to any page on your site. And you can be sure, if Yahoo knows about the link, Google does as well, or will very soon. They just won't report it in their link: query.

Have Fun.....

MonsterCommerce enters agreement to be acquired by Network Solutions

2005-12-17T00:47:00.000-06:00

Wow that’s Crazy, I can't wait to see how this will improve the ecommerce hosting business. I really have enjoyed Monster Commerce and they host many of my clients currently. I have enjoyed working with the company as they have grown.

I just received an email from the president Stephanie Leffler

This is what it said:

Dear Valued Customer,

Over the past seven years MonsterCommerce customers have supported us as we emerged from a three-person start-up to profitable market leader. With your loyalty, we have become one of the industry's leading providers of on-demand e-commerce solutions for small business.

Today I'm writing with great news. I hope you'll agree this announcement brings assurance of great things to come for your business and MonsterCommerce.

Yesterday, MonsterCommerce entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Network Solutions of Herndon, Virginia. Network Solutions is one of the world's leading providers of web based services for small businesses including: web design tools, web site hosting, online marketing, security services and domain name registration services. As a private company, Network Solutions is rapidly growing as an online provider of small business services.

When we entered into discussions with Network Solutions six months ago, it became apparent the two organizations shared similar values including providing quality small business services coupled with outstanding customer service. I assure you, nothing will change our commitment to providing frequent upgrades to the MonsterCommerce e-commerce solution and our commitment to supporting our clients.

I understand that one of the important factors in your decision to work with MonsterCommerce is our commitment to your business. I want to assure you that this focus is not going away. MonsterCommerce will continue to operate as a stand alone, wholly owned subsidiary of Network Solutions, and the entire management team and team member population are staying in place. We will continue to provide the quality of service your business deserves and you have come to expect.

We have posted the acquisition announcement as well as a Q&A document on our web site at http://www.MonsterCommerce.com/pr-network-solutions-acquisition.asp. As always, I, along with the rest the MonsterCommerce management team are available to answer any questions you may have; so please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

I look forward to enhancing our services and watching your business grow.

Sincerely,

Stephanie Leffler

A new look is coming to the Yahoo!

2005-12-15T21:56:00.000-06:00

Wow I just got the email it looks like something is going on in the Yahoo Dark Room..

It looks like Yahoo is expecting to launch a new look for its search results on:

"January 18th, Yahoo! will debut a streamlined design that will make the search results displayed on Yahoo! even easier for consumers to read. Our research has shown that by improving the search experience in this way, advertisers can generally expect to see an increase in clicks, while maintaining their conversion rates."

How this change impacts your listings:

* Yahoo! will display shorter descriptions for Sponsored
Search listings
* You don't have to make any changes to your listings; they'll
be automatically shortened for you when displayed on Yahoo!
* If you'd like to optimize your listings for Yahoo!, begin
your description with one short sentence that includes your
keyword and focuses on your most important information in
the first 70 characters
* Over time, we will fine tune the exact character count that
we believe works best for advertisers and search users
* Most of our partners, including MSN, CNN, ESPN and Infospace,
will still display longer descriptions for your Sponsored
Search listings, though the exact length may vary from
partner to partner

Yahoo! is taking this step to improve the search experience for its users. By continuously focusing on delivering highly relevant search results in a user-friendly format, Yahoo!
also gives you the best possible platform for reaching customers interested in what your business provides.

Sincerely,

Your Partners at Yahoo! Search Marketing

More Traffic from MSN Search

2005-12-13T09:57:00.000-06:00

I have been noticing some strange things with MSN Search Results for the last few days. I have seen traffic go from good to bad and now its about 15-20 percent of searches and the rest of my traffic comes from Google and Yahoo results. MSN has been very quiet for the last week. It reminds me of the sleeping giant statement..

What could we expect to see with search marketing with the new merge with MSN and AOL?

Only Time can Tell.

Search Engine Marketing Experts Speak Out

2005-12-07T09:34:00.000-06:00

WOW this morning has started of strange with it snowing in Kansas City to what started last night with the postings on Webmasterworld forum in the MSN section ....

The chatter is all about the recent discussion of MSN working with AOL to move traffic away from Google.

I see a ton of very upset search engine marketing experts giving their opinions and thoughts for the future of this move by MSN and AOL. The webmasters have also been talking about how they can't wait to see this happen.

It seems there is a ton of upset webmasters since Google last made there big mark on the industry with Jagger. Some marketers didn't see a huge impact with their own sites however other have been dropped off the face of the earth right before the biggest shopping event of the year... XMAS and Hanukkah

This could change the way we help promote business websites online and could change search engine marketing I thinkwe could now see a huge flux in the way we do SEO.

SEO Update: AOL Drops Google For Microsoft

2005-12-07T09:19:00.000-06:00

An article (paid sub req’d) in this morning’s Wall Street Journal confirms that Time Warner has decided to partner with Microsoft in online advertising. Key points:

AOL will drop Google as its primary provider for search and use MSN instead.
AOL and MSN advertising-related assets will be combined in a JV with little or no money changing hands.
A joint ad sales force will be created to sell ads on MSN and AOL.
An automated platform will be created to serve ads to both sites (presumably for search, as AOL acquired Advertising.com to handle non-search-related ads).
Microsoft will not acquire an equity stake in AOL.
Deal to be announced in the third week of December.

Recent trouble caused by the Jagger update 2005

2005-12-06T12:00:00.000-06:00

Hello Everyone, I was reading the current newsletter from Axandra from their search engine facts for December and I was shocked to see that people are still seeing the effects of Jagger from Google.

Back in Nov 2005 we experienced the fierce updates from Jagger1, Jagger2 and Jagger 3 I read many forum posts of the disruption on the internet that Google was filtering out spam sites with additional filters to clean their search index and was hoping for a better search engine for visitor.

With this recent article from Axandra, it seems things didn’t go exactly as Google planned for the Jagger update to complete. Even MSN experienced a major drop in PageRank to a 2/10 for a day or so, not very many people noticed when searching with MSN execpt for us optimizers.

The article also points out that even some employees experienced some problems with their spam-free blogs removed from the Google's index, however since the update they have now been restored I am not clear on how the rest of the webmasters are doing in Google.

It's obvious that Google had some problems with this ranking algorithm update and that not everything went the way it should.

Also included in this article is:
How to survive future Google updates

It was great attending Pubcon 10 this year, I look forward to attending as many as I can get to. I found that the Pubcon Super Session was very important and yes I was amazed to see MSN open the microphone with a split screen side by side comparison of Google and MSN search results and the detail of his conversation. I feel it’s important that the search engines compete against each other the era of the “Search Engine Wars”. If this search engines did not compete against each other what would SEO be like well I think it could become very boring for search engine optimizers.

Pubcon 10 was great - Tons of Great SEO Marketers all together

2005-11-22T00:13:00.000-06:00

Webmasterworld.com was great with the latest webmaster expo with internet marketing hungry knowlege for your SEO Brain. I really got a ton out of pubcon 10 they are already grearing up for the next webmaster / internet marking specialist training for Pubcon 11 Australia.

WebmasterWorlds' Pubcon 11 - Sydney will take place in February, 2006.

Wow that one I wish I could attend just to hang out with some of the top optimizers in the industry and live in the webmasterworld forum posts. MSN Search

Pubcon 11 will even better than pubcon 10 just because Brett Tabke how well he puts the conference together this is a huge event with top speakers and real optimizers to get ideas from to help improve our search engine optimization strategies. I got the chance to meet with Aaron Wall and enjoyed speaking to him with a few of his friends having a few beers.

This year at pubcon 10 I was also able to chat with Bruce Clay and enjoyed a cup of coffee with a bagel at the Continental Breakfast from webmasterworld.com pubcon 10.

I enjoyed Bruce clay and his discussion on the future of search and search engine marketing. He puts a new aspects for a more relevant search backed up with complete online and offline branding.

I think this is a great plan because it would even the playing field for other search engine optimizer

Strange Traffic on MSN for SEO Updates

2005-11-22T00:08:00.000-06:00

It's very crazy but I feel that MSN is going under some construction. I have seen my ranking for a certain keyword such as SEO Updates I have been shifting results I sometimes see results like Matt Cutts would show up in my spot yet when I show up he is not on the fist 10 results.

Has anyone else heard of such thing???? It's driving me nuts.

Pubcon 10 Vegas Update - WOW Can't wait for the next Pubcon Vegas

2005-11-18T21:45:00.000-06:00

Wow! What a conference. It was more than I could imagine. It was just amazing with all the professional internet marketing specialists on the panel to the webmasters that attended. I was very impressed about the outcome....WOW it seemed to double the amount of webmasters this year. I found the best information this year in the discussing of cool SEO ideas mainly in the major FAQ Sessions seminars.

Competitive Intelligence

Organic Search Forum

Super Session : Blogging for Fun and Profit

Link Building Clinic

Link Building Campaigns

Contextual Advertising Program Issues

And of course the Search Engine Smackdown.........WOW

Super Session : Search Engines and Webmasters

I found that its really a cool thing for helping small business companies as well as the large companies, and that Google would offer a free version of Urchin Stats; high quality software; available to the public at Pubcon 10 this year.

It was the perfect time due to all of the updates in the last few months, right before xmas holiday traffic. I feel that this pubcon conference was very helpful and at the same time I was able to meet up and shake hands of some great search engine optimizers such as Aaron Wall, Matt Cutt's, Bruce Clay and many others.

I look forward to next year and also look forward to staying in contact with other professional search engine optimization specialists as well major vendors for Travel, Aff and other companies. I enjoyed the Monster Commerce teams Pubcon 10 Booth all I can say is WOW the booth was great as well the staff. I saw a much larger crowed around MonsterCommerce than last year.

I didn’t get a chance to speak with Stephanie the CEO of MonsterCommerce but I intend on sending a few more clients there way due to the high end ecommerce software they promote. I have a few of my clients hosted there and find the shopping cart to be very powerful and recommend it to everyone getting started with an online business, and you should always have a great credit card processor such as BankCard Central using there Verepay Payment Gateway and provided in a complete solution for credit card processing.
