Google and me

According to the Thai news the ICT minister in Thailand that blocked Yourtube.com among others will not block anymore sites from today. The junta that controls Thailand now will leave it to the Thai juristic system and courts to decide. They said they wanted to make Thailand free from censure ship. How about to take away the block from all the proxy sites and Google’s yourtube.com site, enough is enough.

How to find a good keyword?

I write a lot about taxes, loans, money and tax refunds on my blogs. People pay me off course to write about those things but I am seriously thinking of opening a blog about money because there is so many people requesting reviews and articles about this subject.

You will find popular keyword in you daily life on TV, newsmagazines and off course internet. Some keywords are easy to spot like Paris Hilton and iPood telephone and some need a trained eye to find. But if you are not so experienced webmaster you can start writing about things you like there is always someone else that likes the same things as you.

Many people including myself have got banned by Digg.com in their new clean up campaign. To vote for your friend has long been a ok thing to do and people did it all the time. But from time to time Digg has decided to not turn the other cheek to it and mass ban loads of people.

You can off course if you feel that you not done anything wrong write to them and in some cases they give you back the account or you can just start over they are not that strict on that.

Many people thought that my new business plan was a stroke of genius but in the poll no one would tell on a friend that have paid links. According to sources from Google it does not look as bad as I described it in my last blog with the Google Police now it looks more like the want to find some kind of pattern in buying links. But that can be bad in the long run for the people that use paid links to get to the very top of Google on that.

My friend Mad4 over at the DP forum have created a new script that will take care off all the problem you have when people linking to your pictures. It will in the same time give you links back from their homepages. There is also coming any day now a plug in to the free blog tool Word Press. There is also a video tutorial for all you people that needs some extra help. You will find the Google Image script along with more info on his blog.

Drive Traffic to your site with sponsoredreviews.com and I do not mean pay for them. You can off course pay as well but you can also set up and account and then let people bid for your offer. You can be sure some of them will visit your website in the process and you do not have to do anything you can just reject any offer coming your way while getting free traffic to your site.

So why am I telling you this? Well one reason is that its boring to be rejected all the time and I want them to change policy. I also want them to enter dates in on the offers so I do not have to click so many times on the same offer. But in the mean time feel free to use my trick.

If you have a website and you expect huge traffic coming your way then you should maybe have a special page just for that news event. Bangkokpost.com just crashed because it is one of the English speaking newspapers in Thailand and foreigners wanted to know if the Thai political parties would be dissolved. Unlucky for them they had not prepared as well The Nation. When the Bangkok Post crashed The Nation website still have their site going because they lead away the traffic from the first page to a special site. You must also check your bandwidth and how many hits your database can take in situation like this. If you have a “weak” database then upload the news in Plain Html it will take much power from your server. If readers have to refresh every 5 min then your database will make the server crash for sure.

Some people I know have gone from 1000 page view a day to 200 000 a day when sending a Press Release. Make sure your site is ready for that kind of traffic before you send out the Press Release. If the press finds you then you can be sure the spammers will find you as well. Check your website so that you protected your site from spam.

You want to get hits use peoples jealousy and the will to hurt other people. Just look at poor Peter Sullivan when he tried to impress a girl named Lucy Holland and send her half naked pictures. Maybe he is a bit American in his way of producing himself and maybe he is better of impressing some American girl with those 6 packs and kicks. (I know I am impressed with those six packs and that line under the stomach so hard to get)

Lucy Holland did not fall for hit she made fun off him and so did thousands of other people that visited his website. Not all of the 20 000 made fun of him they gay community loved him.

So Peter got 20 000 hits without doing nothing and now comes the ripple affect (and I am not talking about his stomach) I saw his story in a Swedish magazine and next week its coming to ASIA and so on it will move for another 2 weeks and then slow down. What did Peter do? He closed his pictures down and did not want more people on the site.

Peter Peter Peter this is what all internet geeks looking for a way to get an instant 20 000 people with no press release that’s so great and you did not use it shame on you. You could have met your dream girls (or boy) made millions of dollars and you declined all that, well maybe that shows that you are not that cheesy after all.

What would I have done? I would open a section for people to see the old pictures with payment of 5 $ per membership and I would have sued any magazine or internet publication that used my pictures without the permission from me. I would add well selected ads for fitness equipment how to get a six pack and made interviews with magazines and TV as long as they wanted to her my story.

Increasing Site Visitors by Getting Indexed

Some Google SEO Tips

In this care get indexed mean that Google search engines have found and entered your website in to the system. If you are not indexed that is the first thing you should to with a new site since it takes a few weeks sometimes.

Use this link to submit your url to Google and get indexed the fastest way

When people talk about search engines or search engine optimization, Google always comes to mind as the foremost search engine - which is a reasonable notion, since Google is indeed the most commonly-used search engine. At the same time, because of very frequent changes made to its search algorithms, Google is also one of the most SEO challenging search engines.

Getting the top spot in Google can generate hundreds or even thousands of search visitors every single day – sought after because they are highly targeted visitors that are looking for your page’s topic in particular.

Getting Your Site Indexed

When you have created your site and have populated it with top quality content, the next step is to have it indexed by the search engines.

There are three ways of accomplishing this: a direct search engine submission, a directory submission, or (Google’s preferred method) through an inbound link from a site that they have already indexed. Google’s preference stems from the belief that this is how to surf the web and thus, how the site should be judged.

The Upsides and Downsides of Directory Submissions

Most search engines give reasonable weight to directory submissions; the problem is that it may take a long time to be accepted or not. Keep in mind that directories are, essentially, large collections of websites that are categorized (and often, further sub-categorized) by human editors. These editors visit each and every site in order to determine whether a site is worthy of a place, and only if the editor decides that a site is acceptable is the site indexed.

The downside to this approach is that it can take weeks or months of waiting – with no guarantee of acceptance. Google has one of the most beneficial directories to use – the Open Directory Project, sometimes called as the ODP or DMOZ. Google does make use of their directory and, in fact, indexes it regularly – but it can still take two or three months for a response.

Submissions to Google – Advantage or Drawback?

Submitting directly to Google is a possible solution to the indexing issue. Google’s Add URL page is simple to use and quick to accomplish but again, the downside to this is the time between submission and acceptance. It can take as many as three months or longer; worse, Google does not always inform webmasters of their decision – chances are that you could be left without knowledge of your status for some time.

And Finally – Inbound Links

Inbound Links are the darlings of the Internet: the more inbound links you have, the higher you are in the search engine rankings. Google has an extremely high opinion of inbound links, and award points depending on how popular the linking page is. A link from a page with high page rank (PR) or one with high traffic count is granted more weight than a brand new page with few visitors or low page rank.

Theoretically, using the inbound link is usually much quicker. As a rule, Google indexes sites every month or so, but sites with regular updates also get indexed more often. Article directories that add content several times a day are indexed frequently – and provide an excellent opportunity for Google to index your site quickly, and have the satisfaction of gaining numerous links and some direct traffic.

Hurdling the PR of 0 Barrier

PR or page rank is a numerical measure that allows Google to determine a websites level of relevance to a given keyword. A site’s page rank may come with a value from 1-10 depending on Google’s deliberation. There are of course various bases for the resulting page rank of a given site. Most of these factors are kept confidential by Google.

Zero PR and Link Building

A PR of 0 is given to sites still under deliberation by Google. A PR of 0 will also be given to newly submitted sites before indexing and to old sites every quarter when Google recalculates the site’s PR.

A PR of 0 has certain disadvantages. That is why there’s such a thing called as the PR of 0 barriers. The problem with having a PR of 0 comes when you are in the process of looking for partner sites. If you want a link exchange from a certain site, a PR of 0 will most likely make a prospect partner site skeptical.

It is very important for partner sites to know the page rank of a partner site before authorizing a link exchange. The relevance of a certain site to its link partner is very important in getting a good PR. Just take for instance the fact that if your site contains information regarding real estate opportunities, you should find links that are relevant to your site’s content like real estate company sites and real estate vendor sites. A quality site link will lead you to a good PR. So will a site with a good PR. So as an effect sites that have relevant contents with respect to your website will look at your PR before giving permission for an exchange link.

Now here is the thing, if you have the PR of 0 then it is likely that your prospect site will not approve your link exchange request. This is obviously because of the probability that your site will have a low rank after the deliberation. Obtaining a low PR will drag your partner site’s PR down too. So web masters avoid approving link exchanges with sites with the PR of 0. This will cause you an amount of headache especially if you are just posting a new website. But there are some tricks to overcome this difficulty.

Getting Around Zero PR

Whether you are on PR 0 or not you will be needing quality links to your site where you will get quality traffic while your site is being deliberated. This links will also be useful after you got you PR rating. To get links without dwelling on the PR issue is tough but there are always ways to get it. Try to start by being personal on your requests. If you know a web master, try to get in touch with him personally through email, phone calls and even through a face-to-face meeting.

Another option to try in order to get quality links is by one way linking through forums and articles. Post active links while submitting messages in forums that are relevant to your site. Or you could pass some articles to information sites containing topics related to the contents of your website. This option will not provide you with very high traffic but it will certainly provide you with quality traffic.

If both options fail try the quantity approach. There are tools in the net that could help you automate your search for related partners. Now you can apply to a number of sites everyday. Try to set a goal in applying for exchange links. Since most sites require taking a peep at your PR rating before considering your application, don’t expect a lot of responses. But getting one out of 50 applications is better than not getting any.
