Cracking Google's 1,000 Page Barrier 2008-07-03 23:56:00 One of the frustrations of doing SEO for large websites is the fact that Google
makes it very difficult to see more than a small part of the search index. Even in Webmaster Tools, Google's index search is built on the same mechanics as its web search, which only lets you see the first 1,000 pages of any result.

SEO SWOT Analysis -- Revisiting Marketing Models 2008-06-30 01:21:00 I work with mostly small independent sites with little or next to nothing budgets, and I help them turn things around (if possible).

Let me explain. Yesterday I submitted a story to Digg
. I didn't expect it to get on the home page, but I had an "Oh well, what the hell" mentality about it. My plan was to do the usual--shout it once and call it a day. After I submit a link to Digg, I typically shout the story to my friends in about three waves. You can only send a sh Read more:Observation

PPC, Backwards and Forwards 2007-12-26 02:24:00 Traditional Web analytics may give you the wrong signals, steering you to the wrong decisions about your PPC (define) search campaigns.

Time to Roll Your Own Black Hole 2008-09-12 01:41:00 As promised, today we’ll go over some more of the trends in Black
holes and what steps you can take to create or take advantage of their growing dominance in the SERPs. First, the micro niche site is dying. Why build a site dedicated to (for example) bee-keeping, set theory, Jainism, or even Salvia Divinorum when right off the bat you’re conceding 43% of your Google traffic to a black hole?
Black Hole SEO 2008-09-09 01:34:00 Black Hole SEO
employs a technique that causes the normal laws of Google Physics to break down. Link juice flows into a massive body, but can never escape. When employed on a massive body, it tends to dominate the SERPs. A black hole site is created when an tier 1 authority site ceases to link out to other sites. If a reference is needed, the information is rewritten and a reference page is Read more:Black
