[…] Sites like that are geared strictly toward grabbing traffic through Time-Sensitive SEO, but in a way that’s both hopelessly skewed and borderline illegal. Fortunately, we now have a term for this: Black hat SEO. […]

Comment on Finding a New Domain Name by hssiegel

There is software I have heard about that tells you how a domain name ranks against a datablase of domains with their search engine rankings.

It supposedly scores the domain against the others to tell you how well your domain name will do.

It’s called Nemeas. Has anyone used this or heard of anyone using this software?

I found this post while reading a blog about how click distribution of clicks occurs in Google. Thanks for your effort in making this tool. This is worth recommending.

Comment on The LSI Myth by ScottSEOPDX

ScottSEOPDX — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 19:50:53 +0000

I agree with your comments in this article. Attempting to implement LSI techniques strictly for search engine optimization is ludicrous. The amount of text in the body of a web page would be severely bloated. Also, the message itself may become too diluted to be meaningful to site visitors. Scanability, browsabilty, and targeted content are still the best way to develop quality site message.

Comment on About SEO Blog by frankmedia

Hi Michael,

this is Frank from WordsFinder . com, I am writing to you regarding my latest wordpress plug in.

So far, UTW plug-in users had to manage tags manually. Bloggers had to add appropriate tags to every single post. What if you have got thousands of posts? Would you rather assign tags manually or automatically? Have you got that kind of spare time on your hands?

Wordpress 2.3 (the latest version of the popular blogging platform) now includes tagging support by default, without any plug in. WordFinder plug in has been build on this new functionality, it automatically generate keywords and tags for the page and for the meta data. Optionally on the “write and edit post” page, when bloggers click on tags, they get added to the category list.

Not happy with Wordsfinder suggestions? You can add, remove, manipulate any keyword or tag. On the option page, bloggers would be able to limit the amount of tags retrieved by wordsfinder. Leaving them 100% in control.

Download and test the freeware http://www.wordsfinder.com/wordpress.php yourself.
