Multi-strategy for SEO

Wow, it's the beginning of 2006! After reading all of the SEO books in my collection last year, it's amazing how things change. On my past sites, I've used the same strategy. After all of the news from the last pubcon came out, it seems like SEO for Google has come to a halt. With all of their algorithms fighting spam, their SE has become anti-SEO. So the rules have changed. I guess that's the internet for you.

For the last few weeks, I've been thinking about what I should do with my future sites. Should I put my focus on just MSN and Yahoo? I soon realized that Google has been a big trendsetter in SE development, so it's just a matter of time that these other SE's catch on.

So in order to deal with this change, this year I'm going to use multi-strategy SEO. With 1/3 of my sites, I'll continue to make them as I did. The next third I have come up with my own SEO rules. Their somewhat leaner that before. To give you a clue, I'll be using my thesaurus quite a bit. The last third, I won't be using any SEO rules at all.

So the point I'm trying to make here is that diversification in SEO rules, as well as industries is very important. You never know what will happen to the rules of SEO in the future. Rules change all the time.

Another strategy within the strategy that I'll be using is content-advertising mix up. I'm not saying I will use ads from various companies, but I'll be splitting my sites in half. One half will contain content ads, and the other half won't. Why? I'll just say that it's another way to diversify. For one reason, I'll give you a clue. These content ads are competitors. Some are from SE's. So how does that affect your rankings?

It's better to be safe than sorry.

How To Stop Spambots From Stealing Your Email Address

If you've listed your email address on your website, I'm sure you've been bombarded with SPAM. Tons of email addresses are taken from websites manually, or through computer programs called SPAMbots. They rip email addresses for the sole purpose of spamming. One of the best ways to avoid these SPAM programs from taking advantage of your email address is to use a contact form. Using a server side form will hide your email address from site visitors, as well as SPAMbots. If you're not sure how to set up a form, you can also encrypt your email address. A site that I use is Email Riddler from Dynamic Drive . It will encrypt your email so that it is hidden from the SPAMbots. All you have to do is enter your email address, link text, and an optional subject line, click on the button and a javascript is automatically generated for you. Just copy it and paste it into your website where your email or contact us code would usually go.

This Months Star - Earning More Than $144K / Mo

I have to say congrats to super affiliate Kieron Donoghue. After reading his posts on Sitepoint , I realized that I should be focussing on pay-per-click (PPC) more than natural search. It's an idea that I first started to really impliment after reading Rosalind Gardner's book , but I was still pumping out a lot of content for natural search. I've been probably doing 80% SEO and 20% PPC. After reading his posts, I've decided to pump up my PPC ads. Here's a few quotes from Kieron: "Above is a picture taken of 1 of the 5 pages from my business bank statement that relates to late December 2005, early January 2006. Obviously I've used Photoshop to key out some banking reference codes. I've only posted a picture of 1 page instead of all 5 as I don't want to disclose exactly how much I earn in a month. (BTW the currency of my bank statement is £UK Pounds Sterling). As you can see the rough total on that 1 page alone is roughly £82,000 which works out a...

SEO Blogs ....argghhhh

Over the last few days, I've tested out several flatfile blogs, hopefully to manage my content. I've tried out blosxom (Perl-based), Pivot, and some CMS programs like PHP-CMS, and Limbo. I learned the basics of all of these and all of them were great for blogging or managing content. I also got some good details from this site: http://www.asymptomatic.net/blogbreakdown.htm The problem I'm faced with is SEO (Search Engine Optimization). I couldn't change the URL's or Metadata to be SEO URL friendly for IIS. I noticed there were some modifications that could be done for Apache or UNIX..but I'm stuck with Windows IIS for now. I also checked out some other ones like Moveabletype and Wordpress which had some limited SEO modifications, but needed a database like MYSQL. The big problem I see with many of these CMS or Blog software with Search Engine Friendly URL's is that they ownly cover a small portion of optimization. Some have metatags, but globally for the e...
