Yahoo Opens the Doors on Submit to Keep Pace with Microsoft Coolness

Back in the day you could just submit and move on to the next location. The more submissions the more traffic. Those days have been long gone and seo experts have told us to stop doing submissions. Since microsoft came walking tall and carring a big stick [LIVE>spaces, skyDrive, etc, etc] it appears that Yahoo also has started to do the same. We have seen in the last few days some changes in the Yahoo camp. One they have opened the Yahoo Search engine submission area: in the past you had to login and sign up for their sitemap feed program or battle advertisements to get to the free submit tool. Now they have taken down the authenication process and let you stroll [or walk as MSN says] in and do your thing and get on with your day. so go to Yahoo and submit your site if you have made any changes recently or your site is not cached in Yahoo. Go to Live.com and search for Url:www.nameofdomain.com no spaces. Make sure you put it in the query box and not the address bar. if your site comes up ZERO you will find the link on the page to go tell MSN LIVE BETA to enter your url. More Live beta msn microsoft coolness over here OH if you have a gecko browser do not come to the link above as most of the good stuff will not work with the crappy open source browsers. as an example try your gecko fire frozen [FF] on my skyDrive... you get jibberish.... surprised microsoft did not throw a little pigeon poison down for Google.

PageRank - Fools Gold

PageRank continues to be a distraction placed on the toolbar by Google.

As the author states, pageRank has dropped but traffic continues. CA SEO Connsultants and Web Consulting Service Companies We educate our clients to ignore the page rank and focus on CPA, CTR and other metrics that show growth. My findings on this last PR change, it appears that anyone with “extra” links or verbose links are being penalized. I know a few local seo ‘experts’ that use massive link text with the anchor set to “#”. Basically an annoyance to the visitor and a fake out that the engines can detect. We suggest that you spend the time needed to compare your anchor text to the page you are sending traffic. As always they should be related to each other. One link with high relevance and positive human behavioral interaction is worth dozens of good PR4+ links. Quality over quantity people…. good luck fellow seo’rs!! Best always, Seharness

Search engine research

today we spent the entire search marketing effort learning the ins and outs of the Internet 411. 411 is mearly a code for information. the same as it is for the telephone acronymn. do a search for "411" or go directly to www,411,com. you will find after a few minutes of browsing that you can not update 411,com. However you find that whitepages sends data to the 411 site. So you merrily go to whitepages to find that it is fed by yellowpages.com. Eventually you will find you way to one or two top level propagation services that feed the internet with really hot data. the same data that has been feeding google, yahoo and msn - unknown to many. I had picked up the trail back in 2003 when I first started to develop what was then to be called "local search engine optimization". After 4 years of research; the local seo package was accordingly renamed: domain search marketing services as it covers the basics of neophyte seo that is generally missed. basically newophyte seo was effective in the transitioning algo's and economy of search marketing so Local seo got abandonded unless specifically needed for a vertical market, niche marketing or local branding campaign. Now without domain search engine marketing services you will be lucky to stay on the first page of Google due to Universal search algo (USA) let alone get to the top three spots that are filled with local, 411, news, media and other hard to spam data. Get with the program and go get your domain sured up with the fundamentals or the advanced marketing will continue to falter. Best always. remember to check out the hot new spot in social market or SMO over at www.blogrush.com

How an SEO Expert Knows they are over working the engines?

How an SEO Expert Marketing Specialist - Knows Googlebot is Tired of Scanning the Cache?

I figure that the obvious sign would be the "bot" warning. But then Googlebot seems to have a nice trick, unless I am missing something. You can see from the added screen shot I entered the "bot / harvester" code. Google over looked the need for a submit button here. I try to hit enter on the keyboard to no avail. Now that I think about it - I get this warning more during the day most times; maybe a power outage at google (here in CALIFORNIA - brownouts are when they shut the power grids down to a trickle... I wonder if they are marketing specialists doing steady one off SEO research search queries. Once you use up your 25-50 KW searches, cache review and other "hacks" it appears to shut you out until refresh... drop me a line if you are seeing this too.
