Sand Castle

OK really now. I got this email from Maulana T of Authority Link Network, a competitor to BMR and a place where I’d syndicate some links (and yes I mentioned them in CJ Tactics but now the jury’s out again)…the email is as follows: Hi, Due to the recent google de-indexing problem, we have made some changes in ALN 2.0 to help lowering the current de-indexing rate, however it was not enough. We have come…

The Best Backlink Method

OK, that might be over-selling it…but I wanted to catch your attention. I also wanted to share a video I just made recently on YouTube, about a simple method of organizing your efforts at SEO. It may seem like a moot point, but it’s the subtle differences that add up to make a success out of your SEO efforts. Here I’m talking about the “best backlinking method…” but it’s not what you’re thinking. Hope you…

Better Than Link Building: Non-SEO Traffic

Web Traffic

  If I learned anything in 2011, it’s that SEO traffic is the 800-pound gorilla that nobody seems to know how to avoid. It’s everywhere… My book, Duct Tape SEO, is one example of how SEO-heavy I’ve been in my own business. I build links and optimize my pages for top performance in Google… But…I’ve been thinking that link building is only going to be part of my marketing, and I’ve talked about it before…

Beating Google Panda in 2012 – Rankings Bouncing Back

Since having this blog, I’ve reported several times how Google Panda took a couple of swipes at my websites in 2011. Every time I was in a tailspin of worry and doubt – being somewhat new to the game, despite what my friend Michelle counsels in her emails and comments: It’ll bounce back…give it time… And let’s face it – it makes for a fun read. My most popular blog posts tend to be my…

A Backlink Checker Besides Yahoo Site Explorer

Recently there was an article from PotPieGirl about Yahoo! Site Explorer being retired officially (the most popular backlink checker there was), and that presents a conundrum for a lot of SEOs and affiliate marketers. The API for YSE powered the Rank Tracker in Market Samurai in terms of checking backlinks, as well as SEOQuake and SEO for Firefox (to name a few favorites). So what now? The Benefits of Yahoo! Site Explorer Why did everyone…

Increase Web Traffic With and Without Google

So what’s my big secret for increasing web traffic despite a bad shakeup? Increase Web Traffic With AND Without Google This is an imperative for my business – learning other non-SEO forms of traffic. This is the only protection anyone has against the worry caused…

The Secrets to Google Ranking

I’m a bit overdue for a cheesy title, so Secrets to Google Ranking was the first thing that popped into mind.  First off, this is an SEO myth-buster of sorts.  Secondly, I’m not sure everyone realizes how simple it can be: we tend to over-think the whole SEO process (speaking with firsthand experience on that one). Know What Google Wants Wouldn’t it be great if you had a book that told you what Google wanted? …

Liar picture

So I found an interesting video that you may or may not have seen, but doing research for DuctTapeSEO.net has opened my eyes to a few things Google is trying to do. I’ve included the video (like the skin? Traffic Player, baby) and you may want to fast-forward to about 55 seconds in. Um…did you catch that? You might need to re-start the video so it plays at the right spot – but the key…

Writing a book is consuming work – and I’ll gladly pay an editor next time. I think. I’ve compiled the feedback I’ve received so far and I’ve put some necessary edits in the book. In the new version, I’ve wound up explaining some unclear areas, made it (I hope) more user-friendly. Also in this 2nd edition is a workbook that I meant to release originally, but editing took so much time I’d simply forgotten I’d…
