New Facebook Marketing article reveals simple trick

vishyjames — Fri, 09 May 2008 07:52:57 -0700

The technique involves using a COMBINATION (this is the key) of the Facebook News Feed AND other Facebook Features (like Apps, Groups, Events etc). This cant be done with only the News Feed. You need to combine the 2 things. For those unaware, the News Feed on Facebook is the first thing and most prominent thing that users see when the login to Facebook.

The article takes you through this step by step and has some very nifty diagrams explaining things. I cant post them here...

Please dont publicize this trick too much or it will be over abused. You can read about this trick and then please come back here and share your COMBINATION METHODS and other offshoots of this technique. Since this forum prohibits self site links, readers interested in knowing more can simply ask me / message me or go to my blog at successonline.in]]>

coolslko — Fri, 09 May 2008 03:30:02 -0700

I want your opinions on capitalisation of keywords that does captalisation of keywords have any affect on rankings in search result pages fom google or not?

Today, I went through an article at Webpronews where it has mentioned that if we search on google with a keyword having first letter in capital and then having it without capitalisation in both cases google provides different results bu when checked it on google, Google gives same results for both....What do you think it really affect or not?]]>

Google ranking and www vs non-www,

slycee — Wed, 07 May 2008 08:42:08 -0700

Heres my issue:
I have a site thats setup where it defaults to http://mysite.com even if you type in http://www.mysite.com in the address bar.

BUT, Ive been messing with google webmaster tools and discovered that nearly ALL of my incoming links point to the http://WWW.mysite.com.

First, is this a problem with ranking?

Second, can I edit the HTACCESS file without creating a nightmare?

One other note, Ive attempted to create an XML sitemap (from xml-sitemaps.com) for the http://WWW.mysite.com but it couldnt find the URL.
I have, however created one for mysite.com without a problem.

Much thanks in advance.]]>

Google News now suggests related searches

coolslko — Wed, 07 May 2008 03:33:26 -0700

Heres a new feature- Related Search from Google news.

Now, when people go to search on google news, they will find a list of related searches at the bottom of search result pages.

In a post at Google News blog- Nilesh Agrawal, Sharad Jain and Deepa Iyer From Google described it by having a search for "Zimbabwe" to make it clear to the people.

According to them while performing a search for "Zimbabwe" people will see snapshots and results related to the presidential elections in Zimbabwe.

They said-"In this case, youre seeing a quick snapshot of the main politicians and political parties related to the presidential elections in Zimbabwe. Click a suggested term to see Google News results for that word or phrase. At the moment, you can learn about whats happening in the upcoming United States presidential elections by looking at related searches for [mccain] or [super delegates], or about whats happening in Russia by looking at related searches for [putin]".

So, this new feature will really help people to refine and adjust their searches to get desired results and also lakes it interesting..]]>

Why Does This Useless Site Rank Number 6

adder — Tue, 06 May 2008 02:24:25 -0700

Could you possibly explain me why this (domainsappraisal.com) ranks on #6 spot if you execute this google query:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=free+domain+appraisal

The page is useless... it does nothing. It has no optimization and no Google links.

Any comments appreciated!]]>

Matt Cutts-Some Tips for countering Web spam

coolslko — Sat, 03 May 2008 06:12:23 -0700

Here you can find some tips about combating spam from Googles Matt Cutts head of Googles Webspam team and an engineer whos been working on the problem for eight years.

During a speech at the Web 2.0 Expo Matt Cutts expalained about countering Web spam as-

"Spammers are human," Cutts said. "You have the power to raise their blood pressure. Make them spend more time and effort...If spammer gets frustrated, hes more likely to look for someone easier."

How? Forthwith, some tips for those who manage their own or others Web sites.

Use captcha systems to make sure real people, not bots, are commenting on your site. He uses a simple math puzzle--whats 2 + 2?--but he also likes KittenAuth, which makes people identify kitten photos.

One blogger merely requires people to type the word "orange" into a field. "The vast majority of bots will never do that," Cutts said.

Reconfigure software settings after youve installed it. A little modification of various settings will throw bots off the scent. "If you can off the beaten path, away from default software installations, youll save yourself a ton of grief," he said.

Employ systems that rank people by trust and reputation. For example, eBay shows how long a person has been a member and how satisfied others are with transactions with that person.

Dont be afraid of legitimate purveyors of search-engine optimization services. "SEO is not spam. Google does not hate SEO," Cutts said. "There are plenty of white-hat SEO (companies) who can help you out."

Registering your Web site at Googles Webmaster Central site can help find bogus search-engine optimization tricks others may use on your site, such as keywords written in white text on white backgrounds, he added.
