Want to get your links higher than others in searches? Now you can
Tuesday, March 20, 2007
Ever submitted your site to a web directory and ended up on Page 7 where no one reads it and there's no way to change it or move it up? Well with the new Big Web Links Directory you can contribute funds to improve the position of your site on any category it's published. The more you contribute, the more your links go up, which increases traffic and revenue. You don't have to worry about popularity, Page Rank, or having a name that starts high in the alphabet anymore. It's a great way to get your new site up and out into the forefront of things. The Big Web Links Directory may be new, but it's on the way up, and will have a nice Google PR soon so that it shows up on Google and is known around as one of the web directories of choice.
Check it out, and as per usual, post your thoughts.
Thanks,
-Steve

Promoting your website with localized promotion
Thursday, January 18, 2007
As most of you may know from my posts I do some freelance work as a computer tech and also have done some web design in the past. I had to help one of my friends uncle with a design he worked on through some software that came bundled with his hosting package. He really didn't have a clue of what was going on, just knew how to follow instructions and copy paste. He asked me a lot on promotion of his website, how to get people to visit, how to get in on the first page of Google, what advertising he should have, etc.
The first thing that anyone putting up their business online is to post it on the search engines, and for me the search engine submission by servicewrap.net is an easy service to target local results and companies. They'll help him reach his goal of getting on that front page, or the top 10 on the major search engines. The rest I showed him some of what AdSense and Yahoo Publisher can do for him, but having his results show up high on the search engines was his priority, and www.servicewrap.net is one of the easiest ways to help do that.
Check them out and let me know that you think,

What the heck is up with Google's PR?
As many of you have noticed, I have a nice little Widget from MyBlogLog.com on the sidebar of my blog, to show who's visited, get me some stats, those kinds of things. I was just checking it out earlier tonight, then went to my profile, and looked up to the Google toolbar I have installed in Firefox. It gave my MyBlogLog.com profile page (http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/members/DaSnipe/) a PR of 2. Notice the PR of this page? Yep, ZERO, now how does that make sense?
Either Google has no idea what it's doing with PR (which I think is partially true even if I'm wrong), or all the profile pages on MyBlogLog.com have the same PR. Something's fishy, Google I want some PR, or at least some consistency. Is that hard to ask.
Anyone can step in and clarify the situation? SEO ranking and PR aren't my cup of tea, I just dabble with them, just want some love for the blog.
Alright enough ranking, goodnight!

As you guys know I've been looking or debating getting a Playstation 3 for myself since I sold my PS2 over the summer. There's still not many in stores right now, so why not win a Playstation 3 through Earlymiser. They have a simple contest, which is better explained below by the founder of Earlymiser, Brian DeSpain.
"To enter the contest, you just need to link to earlymiser.com with from your blog, myspace profile or other website. Then simply register at earlymiser.comFor those people without a web site, simply set up a feed of your favorite products. You will be entered to win the 6o GB Playstation 3" explained Earlymiser founder Brian DeSpain.
"All you need to do is register a new account and provide a link back to us from your MySpace profile or a link from your blog or web site. If you don't have a blog or myspace profile, that's fine just set up a custom feed devoted to your favorite products. After you register and have set up your link, simply email brian@earlymiser.net with the subject "Playstation 3" and the location of your feed or link and you are entered into the contest" continued DeSpain.
Pretty simple isn't it, Earlymiser.com is a web based shopping comparison engine, so you can search places like Yahoo, Amazon, Ebay all at the same time. Great for shopping and comparing prices, which could save you money

New social search engine out - Sproose.com
Friday, December 29, 2006
I'm a big fan of the user driven content sites, sites like Digg where stories or comments get ranked or voted on, so bringing that idea to the search engine world is a good thing. Well the people at Sproose.com have introduced a social search engine where people don't vote on comments they vote on the search results, seeing if they were useful or accurate they would get a 5 and could move up right away on a search result for another user. The score given a site is then weighted as a group score for all users. They also let each user create a personal index of their favorite sites when they search a keyword. That's pretty social or democratic if you ask me. They also got some nice things like advertisers like targetting the voted upon sites and etc, so it'll be good for everyone as well. I tested it out and it worked right away, I voted for myself (cheater) but hey I gotta be on top, lol.
Sproose may just be in Beta but it seems to have a lot of potential. Check out the Sproose home page to find out more and do some social searching, then post your thoughts here.
Thanks,
-Steve

Pretty interesting, Pay-per-posting OK with Search Engines
Tuesday, December 12, 2006
Most nay-sayers of Paid posting programs like Payperpost or ReviewMe aren't frowned upon by most search engines. I thought it would be the opposite but as long as people like the content I guess there's not much they can do. This is good for SEO purposes and other things, and great news for bloggers like me who use PayPerpost. The article was posted on the SearchEngineJournal, where they interviewed members from all 4 major search engines, Yahoo, Google, Ask.com and MSN. You can read the full article HERE
I saw this on the Payperpost Blog I mentioned this weekend, the URL in case you're lazy to check it out is Blog.Payperpost.comso go read it and learn some things :)

Tech blog of note - Bulletz of Knowledge
Saturday, December 09, 2006
Man I'm giving lots of love to the blogosphere lately, but so many great blogs and friends from PPP I feel it necessary to spread the love.
My blog of note for today is a Tech Blog by another Postie called Suni or known around as BulletProofSoul. Her tech blog, Bulletz of Knowledge brings tech news to the regular person, by doing such things as finding articles explaining PR, or Search Engine Optimization which many people have no clue about. I have some, but only because I'm getting more involved in the blogosphere.
If you would like a different kind of spin on Technology and the Internet, visit her blog at http://tech.bucketobulletz.com/ and learn about these things and more.

This is definetly a new concept, a search engine where you can win prizes just for searching. They're having a Winzy Search and Win promotion at Winzy.com. They got 3 ways of winning prizes with is pretty sweet. One is instantly just for searching, the other is by having friends sign up and refer you and winning the same prize they win and the last is by earning points by searching and entering the monthly sweepstakes. I just saw someone win an iPod Nano an hour and 47 mins ago, pretty nice for just searching, and someone and their friend just got 100 points for the day.
Check it out, the search engine is powered by Ask.com so it's not bad and winning prizes can't hurt. The URL again is http://www.winzy.com but click on my link to help me out as well :)

Funny post for the night, people love the WWE and Britney
Monday, December 04, 2006
Since I was following the flame war started by our good old friend Michael Arrington at TechCrunch I've seen that Yahoo is releasing it's top 5 searches of 2006 at 9 pm PST, which is 12am EST so I'm not staying up for it.
However it's pretty interesting to note that the 5 terms, Britney, WWE, Shakira, Jessica Simpson, and Paris Hilton are going to be part of them. Why are people obsessed with Britney and WWE, lol, I can maybe understand Shakira or Jessica, but WWE a top search, c'mon
Anyways Yahoo is going to release the official results HERE so be sure to tune in, lol. I just wonder what other obscure terms will be there, apart from porn, lol.
