Yesterday I started a new blog on a domain I’d been using mostly to redirect traffic to other sites. The domain name is “ToSeeMore.info”. The blog directory is “about”. It’s on a subdomain named “click”. So the URLs to the blog posts and categories end up looking like this:
http://click.ToSeeMore.info/about/how-i-got-319713-organic-google-clicks-in-a-month/

And most of us know that joining link farms, which create lots of links between totally unrelated sites, is not a good way to do it, because if Google catches you at it, they’ll penalize you. So how [...]

The Chordata RSS and Atom newsfeed directory is offering a 90 page eBook (PDF) on search engine optimization to anyone who rates 25 feeds by November 21. You’ll need to create an account and log in to rate feeds. Once you’ve rated 25, you’ll find a link to the eBook on the My Account page. [...]

Every time I see someone selling or trading a link bragging about it coming from a PR4 page, I’m not sure whether to chuckle or boggle. “PR4?” I think. “That’s supposed to be impressive?” I guess it impresses some people, even if it doesn’t impress us all.

So, you want your site to show up as high as possible on Google. Join the club. 20 gazillion other websites are clamoring for the same thing. And guess what? Google has its own agenda. They don’t care whose site comes up on top–whose business gets the free advertising. What they want is to give [...]

There are a million ways to make money (or if you’re already making money, there are a million ways to make more money). But none of us has time to do all of them. And few of us have the desire to do all that we have time for. Part of the secret to success [...]

Two simple steps to higher search engine placement: “Search Engine Optimization doesn’t have to mean paying gobs of money to self-proclaimed professionals with questionable qualifications.
