Almer Viloria’s Link Building Strategies through Article Submission

Thank you Almer for this very informative article.

1. The home page PR of article sites used for article submission link building should be no less than 4.
2. The actual article page where the link to your site will be placed should be indexable by Google and Yahoo (e.g. no disallow rule in robots.txt of the article site and/or the page meta robots tag).
3. The links to your sites should not have the nofollow attribute. The links should not be redirect links either. Just plain direct links suit your purpose.
4. Ideally, the links should have a proper anchor text (preferred) but where it is not possible the links can be in the form of the site URL. Where anchor texts are allowed, the links to your sites should have a relevant, varied anchor text in full accordance to the Keywords file and be linking to varied pages (in accordance with the Keywords file).
5. The links (both in-text and resource box/author bio) should be made in the format prescribed by each particular article site’s rules and be fully functional.
6. Avoid using the same account on each given article site for submitting articles linking to your different sites. The rule is 1 site – 1 account (this also helps make the most of the author bio/resource box).
7. Avoid submitting an article with links to the same site to the same article directory more than once, maximum twice within an extended period of time. Also check if there were any previous submissions to the article site in question for your site in question. The rule is 1 article site – 1 article submission for each your site.
8. Avoid submitting the same article to multiple article sites without any changes to avoid duplicate content issues.
9. Avoid using content taken off elsewhere – all articles should be original. The quality of writing should be high.
10. For newly discovered article sites, avoid submitting articles for more than 2 of our sites into them until the results of such submissions are proven through the presence of these article sites in the backlinks.
11. Avoid heavily spammed article sites (e.g. if you see a lot of links to pills, porn or casino sites stay away from such article sites).
12. Preference should be given to sites accepting articles on individual basis, ideally covering niche topics related to our sites rather than traditional article directories. However, bear in mind that these sites: 1) should be contacted on an individual basis and do not have regular article submission forms; 2) want exclusive articles that will only be published on these sites.

GPS Tracking System

So I have this friend who has a dog that never seems to stay still. It always goes out the house, running around the subdivision and my friend always gets at least one complaint from his neighbors everyday. I told him to build his dog a dog house, but he doesn’t like the idea of chaining the dog because he loves it too much, that he even let’s it sleep on his bed.

One day the dog was no where to be seen. My friend tried to search all over the subdivision but to no avail. It took him 3 days to finally find his dog at an impound. Hoping not to experience this problem again, he decided to purchase a GPS Tracking device and attached it on his dog’s collar. Good things its small enough that the dog hardly notice it dangling on it’s neck Continue reading »

Lead Generation

As an SEO Specialist, one of my main tasks is to generate leads from potential buyers. Although some of my work done generated some traffic to my assigned sites, the leads are not as good as expected. This lead me to my plan of creating a post on Lead Generation so I can share suggestions on how to increase your leads using Search Engine Marketing.

According to WikiPedia, Lead Generation is:

A marketing term that refers to the creation or generation of prospective consumer interest or inquiry into a business’ products or services. Often lead generation is associated with marketing activity targeted at generating sales opportunities for a company’s sales force. Therefore a lead is correctly described as information regarding or provided by a consumer that may be interested in making a purchase. Whereas, generation is one of a myriad of activities that may produce that information and perceived interest.

I will post more about Lead Generation in the coming days or weeks Continue reading »

The Most Common Default Time in the World

Have you noticed that almost all display images of analog watches and clocks have their time set to ten minutes past ten (10:10)? Why is it so common all over the world? I see it on newspapers, magazines, billboards and even on websites? Any ideas who started this? Try searching for analog watch or analog clock in your favorite search engine (image search) and you will see that 10:10 is used by almost all clock and watch images.

So I surfed several websites and I noticed that Timex sets all their watches to 10:09:36, Philip Stein sets their time to either 10:10:40 or 03:40:10 (similar position to 10:10 upside down), Seiko commonly uses 10:09:42 on their watches and Timberland sets it at either 10:10:37 or 10:09:38 (Image on the right is a Timberland Men’s Glenwood Chronograph Orange Silicone Strap w/ Brown Dial. Check the product detail here).

So you see, 10:10 (or 10:09 on some) is the most common set time in the World. Whoever started it is still unknown. More updates soon.

Common SEO Errors With Retail Websites

There are at least 5 common errors with many retail websites.

1. Hollow PageRank sucking pages.
2. Information spread across many pages.
3. Bad site structure.
4. Sloppy page titles and on site optimization
5. Nothing remarkable.

1.) Some websites have a lot of pages like “view cart,” “shipping information,” “track orders,” “contact us,” and other such administrative pages. In some cases there are many unique permutations of these types of pages depending on what page of the site you are on.

It is in the interest of most retailers to prevent these administrative type of pages from getting indexed, especially if they have a lot of them.

2.) Some websites only offer a limited amount of information (like the manufacturer details) on the product level page. And then they create another page for one or more of the following: product photos, product feedback, manufacturer details, related products, editorial reviews, and consumer feedback. Ideally much of this information can be consolidated into a single page such that pagerank is spread more heavily across a fewer number of pages.

3.) Some retail sites put way too many choices in parallel, featuring low value categories and low value products alongside their top sellers. Seasonally selected items, best sellers, and other high margin items can be promoted more aggressively across the site to help flow more PageRank and exposure to those pages.

Additionally, if a company expands internationally it is recommended to use subdomains or separate domains for the various target markets rather than placing all the content for the various markets on one domain Continue reading »
