Search results

You can't cloak links using a Wordpress plugin since the referer string will still be present in the visitor's web browser. You have to have a remote redirect script on another domain to strip out the referer data. If you only need to mask the destination URL then it is best to use .htaccess so...

Your question doesn't make sense to me my friend. Maybe you are wondering how to get links to your site indexed in search results?

Apparently a new version of the "search quality rater guidelines June 22, 2012" has been leaked to the web. I tried to find a download but could not find one. The download from pdfcast didn't open for me. If you search on this term, there is plenty of commentary about it on blogs though. The...

Our forum logo emphasizes SEO, that should be clear enough to get what it is mostly about.

I started with the book "Essential C# 2.0". At first I thought that maybe I had made a bad purchase since it didn't cover making windows forms, and the various visual controls, but now I realize that it is a great book to learn the basics of C#. And for advanced stuff, you can find good...

Thanks for the interesting case study. I noticed that you are using Google Analytics. In hindsight, have you decided if this was a good or bad idea? Even if you are not targetting G ranking.

Using any programming language you can do this. First of all you need a list of keywords and their associated spin text e.g. an associated array. Then your code opens each article/post and replaces the word matches with one of the alternatives. Then saves the spun article. You could code this in...

For a laugh, ask them for the Japanese text (kanji) version of the contract, stamped with a hanko (seal) that all Japanese people have to authorise documents.

There's no definitive answer since it depends on what competition you have for keywords. IMO, it's best to start building the sites one by one with the content that you have, build links, and check your rankings each week, and get an idea for how much more link-building you need. LBrown made a...

Hi Wicked guy. If possible I would like to test your plugin too, and provide a review. Thanks.

This is a great idea. I am programming link-building solutions. I can help you out in this respect. I guess I need to post more on BHW to help people out as best I can to attempt to get on the list. Nice challenge.

Some suggestions: It's more difficult to set up a good development environment on your PC for PHP e.g. Apache, MySQL, PHP5, NetBeans, XDebug for example. But this is well worth doing since it's a pain to debug PHP on your web hosting. But with .Net you have an IDE out of the box to step...

I see some initial reviewers promising to post their results in a week or so. If they follow through, then it would cover both bases.

Great list! For #50 you can use the WayBack machine to check the history of a domain. From what I learned, old, but unused domains are no better than new domains. But old and used domains are good. In my own test of on-page factors (I got these results so far based on inspiration from another...

Bad! It looks like BP is holding his crotch in the TMZ photo. Posted to my FB wall.

When people land on your page from a search engine it may help to optimize Ads based on their search keywords. For example, I believe that Ad$ense responds to the nearby keywords on a page. So you can insert the keywords dynamically near to the Ad unit. Ordinarilly you don't need to do this...

A few posts above I posted some code to do a lab test for detecting which HTML tags rank best. But it seems that G takes the test.php?t=0 page as the main search result and ignores the rest. So now I am trying a search-engine-friendly style URL for the test script e.g. xyzgh.php where the "gh"...

I would change the anchor text as an experiment. You can always revert back if it doesn't help. You could use PHP to determine which pages provide the keyword link if you want to introduce it gradually e.g. based on a page ID range.

Hi folks, my first post :) I'm really enjoying reading this thread. This is my take on how to implement the lab test in PHP with a cut-down list of the tags: $kw = 'MyCustomWord'; $tags = array( 'pre', 'textarea', 'kbd', 'caption', 'small', 'code', 'strong', 'sub', 'u', 'center', 'cite'...
