Directory Listing

I found another seo related sites that contains relevant article about SEO. First that i found new to this site is a new seo terminology called Microformats which is use by most search engine to organize the SERPs. This is good seo tools for localization of SERPs. According to this site, the microformat pick up the contact us information of your site, name of the peoples, organizations, companies, telephone number and email address.

For all we know, any website with contact us information gets search ranking points to Google because it is consider as legitimate company. According to this blog, using microformat in your site need some coding skills yet they offer a tools which can generate the code so you will not need to hire coders.

Now let me discuss some reason why i posted this article to credit this page or seo sites. The content is king regarding seo tips and they even offer some links to directories. And the most important part is that you can comment with do follows.

Where to get free back links?

Google set up the blogs into nofollow in order to fight the spammers. Now through reading another SEO specialist blog about dofollow and how to get backlink i learn very important things about free link from Google and Digg. I also realized that commenting by a legitimate person based on the topic either the message is good or negative is not spam. What is spam message or comment the Google like to avoid are the spam message that you receive in your wordpress blog.

Luckily, Google's blogspot is not affected or ready to this spam messages unlike wordpress. Still there are spam message roaming around blogspot posted by real people but the message are similar with other blogs. They are simply doing cut and paste procudure with their comment.

Now how to get free link from Google? The process is simply and just follow instruction just the way you sign up with Gmail, Google analytic and webmaster. I will not post how to do it in details, i will just encourage you to visit and read the blog of the source information and follow his instruction.

Article Duplication

If you visit forum.digitalpoint.com, many will said duplicate content is just an SEO myth. It maybe correct because if you look at the news agency, you will notice that the news of one sites can be found in another sites. Maybe he correct maybe he is wrong but for sure Google is penalizing sites.

How did i know that. I tested my blog and I copy content from others. The blog is PR 1 then once i add post of these copied i found that i lost the PR and it is now NA.

One of our SEO specialist said, Google penalize only blog site but i do not believe that. I have found many domain that duplicate content and they are already penalized.

Penalization matrix is still unknown, what i am sure is that if you have excessive duplication in your sites, you will be penalize for 2 weeks to more than 6 months.

Not take a look of this article that have submitted to various article submission sites.

How to increase the PR of your site page?

This is a good tips if you are optimizing the sites. You can not optimize the whole sites or its individual pages. You only need are articles or blog post to target with link the page that your think necessary to be in SERP page rank. Normally this pages are services or products. It could be down loadable page or just informational page that you think really important.

For example the page about "buyusedcar.asp" is your number 1 product page, then you need to have a link from other page of the sites targeting this page. Since static page is not enough , a blog post and bookmarking coupled with blog commenting is very helpful.

Now keep in mind that google list the links on your site according to categories.

What is Google Dance

I just recently come across with problem about sudden change in our keywords ranking from Google search engine. It has been 3 weeks already and this problem is not going to get better as days past by. A friend of mine who is a former seo specialist about used cars told me that it could be a google dance.

Google Dance seems new to me because i have not read it in most seo forum sites like digital point nor seo.ph. As i interview her and read blogs about Google dance, I found out that it is simply a moment where Google update their data server, they are using back up server which has older index. The google data center switch from www.google.com to www2.google.com or www3.google.com.

Your keywords may vary according to pages for almost 1 week and it should return by the next monday. Some said it is almost 2 weeks so i will learn it this coming monday.

Moving around the web to find more info in Google Dance, i found this Google dance tools which used to compare the SERP according to each 3 data center. All you need to do is to input the keywords and see if the result varies.

The best bookmarking sites

What is the purpose of bookmarking site for SEO? since bookmarking sites have members then if you bookmark your page there is chance that other member could read it and instant visitors. A well written article targeted to the right member of the bookmarking site could give you 1000 unique visitors.

Another benefits of bookmarking to SEO is that the link, there are some bookmarking sites that offer do follow link while majority are no follow. For me i used it to speed up in crawling newly updated web pages in our site.

What are the best bookmarking sites?
This information is my personal experience and used and test it according to your benefit. Find out which is suited to your sites.

My number referral is

1. Stumbleupon bookmarking sites.
2. Followed by buzz.yahoo.com for they are past and not to strick like digg.
3. Number for me is Technorati.com they will give you do follow link
4. This one followed by mixx.com but mixx to do accept blogspot or wordpress
5. This goes to digg.com because of its ability to leave text content
6. The other one is folk.com. I love this coz it give me traffics even small
7. Simpy is also nice
8. Delicious is still unkown to me
9. Sometime i do facebooka and tweeter. But i do not like them really for the member are all chismiss and my target investors
10. Propeller is sucks and i dont get it
11. I notice some crawled in Spicypage but i am not satisfied of the benefits

There are 2 major type of bookmarking sites. One is that you can leave short description while the other is just a link and they will get the info. For my Philippines call center task, I normally used Technorati because of its link and buzz yahoo for faster crawling.

Give me your suggestion if you have something in mind

Google Algorithm change?

I just could not understand Google why our keywords which enjoy rank 2 and now rank 17 in just a short while. Just 1 week and we slide to page 2 and 3. The crawled page is there, the back links is there. I check if there are illegal copies from our main site and there are some but these are low PR unlike the original.

I am thinking that maybe there is new updated on google algorithm. Anyone any news or info about Google algorithm changes?

Google Penalization is not logical

Look at the stats below, you will find out that i have reach a 270+ back links in Google search engine for the 2 consecutive week of 7-18 and 7-25. For unknown reason, Google penalize my site which greatly reduce the link to 170.

Since i am the blog site owner and i know that i am clean with my seo practice, i think google is manipulating the back links quantity making my site below my expectation performance in search engine.



Why google is doing this? We all know that there are companies tied up in Google directly and indirectly. Second the PPC will be useless if many sites is powerful to get the traffics directly. Of course they want the visitors to click on their PPC ads just beside the search engine screen. What can we do? Nothing, since the Google became number 1 they practice and penalize sites according to their own unshared and unfair matrix. They dictate the market and the rules in online marketing.

So if you are SEO specialist working in any Philippines call center company, it will hurt you. You think you made a good SEO strategy and you have expectation according to Google algorithm and all of the sudden you will be penalize just to avoid any major chance in SERP.

What a lucky day for us if you experience this. Monitor your back links and see how google managing your inventory.

The following are just my theory and your discreation is advise.
