The Power of Myth: Can a black-hat take down your rankings?

July 27, 2007

My old pal Skitzzo from SEOrefugee revisits what he calls an SEO “myth”: that a competitor can potentially harm a site owner just by pointing links to his or her site. According to the number of Sphinns, it looks like a lot SEOs agree it’s a myth. That’s understandable, as it would be very unfair...

Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day—Neither is effective link building

July 25, 2007

Link building is without a doubt the most time consuming—but most rewarding—aspect of search engine optimization. It usually takes more effort to promote your content (build links) than to actually create it. As I have stressed repeatedly before, compelling, useful content should make your link building efforts much easier. Before I go any further, let...

Content is King, but Duplicate Content is a Royal Pain.

More troubling still is the way...

July 16, 2007

Last month there was an interesting article in Forbes about the search engine marketing saboteurs. These so-called “SEO professionals” proudly proclaim their job to be damaging the hard-earned rankings of their clients’ competitors.

July 11, 2007

Do you have pages in Google's supplemental index? Get 'em out of there! Matt Cutts of Google doesn't think SEOs and website owners should be overly concerned about having pages in the supplemental index. He has some pages in the supplemental index, too.

July 10, 2007

Let's face it. We all like to check the Google PageRank bar to see how important websites, especially ours, are for Google. This tells us how cool and popular our site is.

SEO is Dead! (Long Live Advanced SEO)

July 05, 2007

After trying a few different approaches, I've finally found a clear direction for this blog. Some A-list bloggers consider that starting another SEO blog is a bad idea.
