Google has rolled out a new update which is meant to improve the quality of search results. I won't go in too much broad detail because the good people over at Search Engine Land and Search Engine Watch have already covered quite a bit of it. I'll be sharing some observations I've made regarding my own niche and most competitive key phrase, SEO Perth. I've never really tried to rank for the term, simply because I am already getting enough enquiries with other terms and long tail searches. Last Read more [...]

With all the commotion around the SOPA and PIPA bills in the US Senate and House, I thought I'd make a small contribution in the form of a WordPress plugin, which will allow you to schedule a date and timeframe in which ALL incoming traffic will get redirected to http://americancensorship.org/ where people can sign the petition against these bills. (Download here) Screenshot: The Senate is scheduled to vote on the internet censorship bill on Tuesday, January 24th, and unless we can find Read more [...]

New Youtube Design adds Nofollow

YTnofollow
Just a little something I noticed. Youtube channels used to have one followed link on a user's channel, but after the redesign last week, they have now implemented the rel=nofollow attribute to those links. Is Google sculpting pagerank with their new design? Anyway, if you want to get the nofollow removed, just change your channel back to the old look via this link (when you're signed in) Thanks (in advance) to Wil Reynolds from Seer Interactive for letting me use his Youtube channel details Read more [...]

I can confirm after checking several of our sites that Google has updated the visible toolbar pagerank today. Nothing really exciting, but it always get people talking again. I've written about Google pagerank vs SERPs and finding fake Pagerank before. The snapshot seems to have been taken on the 26th of October, as that's when the last post that got pagerank assigned was posted. Anything after has a pagerank 0. That is all for today.

Link building is by far one of the most important things to do when it comes to SEO for your site, simply because search engines such as Google rely heavily on the amount and the trust factor of the links that point back to your site. You could consider each link you get, a vote of confidence from another site, and Google uses this as a metric to estimate how important and relevant your site is, and what place they will give you in the search results. Having said that, Quality links are far more Read more [...]

Since becoming a DMOZ editor, I've spent hours going through the editorial guidelines to see what the best approach would be for someone to get their site approved. We all know it can take forever to get listed in DMOZ - if ever! The first thing that struck me when I logged in as a new editor, was how massive the inner workings of the ODP really are. There are loads of active editors in the forums, but the number of un-reviewed submissions is staggering. Here's an example of just the Business Read more [...]
