Black Hat SEO firms and spammers are constantly looking for new ways to twist the ranking factors. For instance, having a lot of links pointing to your site is important for SEO, so spammers get links from low quality, spammy sites to boost their link number. Never mind that these links are coming from spam blogs, they choose quantity over quality. 1. Throwaway domains Google specifically warns against throwaway domains in their SEO Webmaster Guidelines. A throwaway domain is a domain that has very little real value, and is just used to build link popularity to a second site.

Just like high school, it was all about popularity and getting in with the clique. Somehow this characteristic carried over into search engines and how they assess your site. They say that beauty resides within, similarly, then much can be said about starting from the inside (your websites internal links) and strengthening the self-referral mechanism for your content to attract recognition (external links). Just in case you forgot, increasing link popularity through virtual theming (strategic deep linking) and optimized internal link architecture allows what percentage of link popularity you garner from others to go that much further in propelling your [...] Read the Rest]]> http://seomyass.com/link-popularity.html/feed 0 http://seomyass.com/link-flow-distribution.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=link-flow-distribution http://seomyass.com/link-flow-distribution.html#comments Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:14:01 +0000 admin http://seomyass.com/?p=549 What is link flow distribution in a website and why should you care? Link flow is a metric implemented in SEO which assesses the volume of link equity (accumulated PageRank, citation factor and nodes of relevance) a page has and how it passes along that equity via outbound links to other internal or external pages. Depending on the degree of inbound links from other pages within your website or from other web pages online provide characteristics that distinguish that page in search engines. For example, a page can rank in search engines as a result of: For the sake of analogy, link flow is like the circulatory system for a website, if it is crimped, a page suffers from link [...] Read the Rest]]> http://seomyass.com/link-flow-distribution.html/feed 0 http://seomyass.com/link-weight.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=link-weight http://seomyass.com/link-weight.html#comments Wed, 08 Feb 2012 20:25:40 +0000 admin http://seomyass.com/?p=538 Understanding link weight, topical relevance and the power of optimizing internal and external links is a crucial component of SEO. Assessing how and why a site occupies multiple top 10 positions is not difficult to determine, if you know how and where to look. In fact, you can essentially assess how and why a site is ranking for a number of phrases from (1) analysis of the site structure (2) the links, both internal and external (3) the age of the domain (4) the amount of topical information on the subject, and (5) the degree of authority the site has developed as a result of momentum and search engine trust.   By linking to your own pages from other pages [...] Read the Rest]]> http://seomyass.com/link-weight.html/feed 0 http://seomyass.com/market-samurai-keyword-research-tools.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=market-samurai-keyword-research-tools http://seomyass.com/market-samurai-keyword-research-tools.html#comments Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:18:25 +0000 Bill Griffin http://seomyass.com/?p=425 Market Samurai - it just does not get any better than this!  Market Samurai is without a doubt the BEST marketing tool available for anyone involved in affiliate marketing.  This program offers the top keyword research tools available!

The idea that a manual review of a website or it’s SEO from a subjective human quality rater (working for search engines) can decide which websites to let slide or penalize is a daunting threat for those forced to compete for search engine rankings. While search engines use sophisticated algorithms to find the most relevant websites, they still are far from perfect and often rely on data harvested or augmented from humans (search quality juries) to refine their extensive ranking variables. In 2009 Google had over 10,000 outsourced contractors implemented as “quality raters”, using this as a predicate; one can only imagine what the actual number is [...] Read the Rest]]> http://seomyass.com/google-quality-raters-seo%e2%80%99s-beginning.html/feed 0 http://seomyass.com/forum-posting-solutions.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=forum-posting-solutions http://seomyass.com/forum-posting-solutions.html#comments Tue, 07 Feb 2012 01:18:44 +0000 admin http://seomyass.com/?p=573 “Eliminate The Hassles On Your Forum Marketing Efforts Using This Cool Forum Posting Software! – Gain Credibility Instantly And Skyrocket Your Sales!” If you are doing business online you’ve probably have an account or multiple accounts to one of so many forums online trying to build back links to your websites… If not, then pay close attention as you are missing a huge chunk of gold… Forum marketing is one of the best marketing approach if properly executed otherewise it will blow right back on your face.

And if you have something to add, please do. So he we go: Length of the URL: no more than 3-5 words in your URL. According to Google’s Matt Cutts if there are more than 5 words… “[Google] algorithms typically will just weight those words less and just not give you as much credit.” Here is one more evidence in favor of short URL: recent research shows that short URLs within Google SERPs get clicked twice as often as long ones. So by sticking to short URLs you get both better rankings and better clickthrough. Short URLs will also help in direct type ins [...] Read the Rest]]> http://seomyass.com/seo-practices-url-structure.html/feed 0
