SEO Industry Figures Released

, ,

Well, it finally happened, it’s an industry first, and SEOMoz are behind it. Back in January, I participated in a survey that was aimed at profiling the spending, confidence, and practices of SEO professionals. The results of the survey which SEOMoz claim involved some 3000 SEO Pros, are mostly what I expected, but there’s a few gems in there that demonstrate concensus where speculation otherwise prevailed.

Their detailed overview and question specific commentary are all worth a read. They’ve made the results (expressed numerically) available as csv or SQL downloads, though I encourage all interested parties to visit SEOMoz, and read the article in context.

Link Building Strategies (SEO)

, , , , , , ,

While browsing Digitalpoint the other day, I came across a post touted as 100+ untapped link building strategies. Naturally the first thing that came to mind was - oh yeah, more spam, or at least the usual link bait.

Nonetheless i decided to contact the poster and asked for more details. I was surprised at the coverage of the post, and I must admit to finding the odd gem. The list is definitely worth a look if you’re into link building.

Heres the link: 100+ Link Building Strategies

SEO OUTSOURCING

, , , ,

Having followed up on my previous post where  I took a look at SEO Freelancers, I decided it was time to step out and see what SEO Outsourcing was all about for myself.

The objective ? To acquire around 100 backlinks for a site I run, at around 1$ per link. The links needed to be themed, with a slight twist on the anchor text used, and present on SE friendly sites. No directories, commenting, forums or networks etc.

Basically, I just wanted to acquire some productive backlinks that appeared organic, and gave my site a boost in the big three.

A sneak peak at SEO Freelancers..

, , , , ,

Today I had a friend call me to tell me he was working on a new site for a client, and that I might be interested as I’m into SEO & SEM. He arranged a quick look at the site for me (still in development), and to put it simply, I was impressed.

Basically, it’s a reverse auction site for SEO & SEM pros, and it’s got some seriously kick-ass features that I’ve never seen before in a services auction site.

Googles DMCA Complaints - Screwing Your Competitors.

, , , , ,

I recently uncovered a plot to take over the world - well, not quite the world, but I’m sure thats what you’re up to. Republishing my information like that is just downright wrong ! And outranking me like that for my own keywords - outrageous !

I recently received a DMCA complaint from Google where a third party was claiming that one of my sites was reproducing their content without their permission. Moreover, the site was reproducing others content too ! - I really couldnt help but laugh. Initially, I went looking for an email I might have missed, or some other indication that I had in fact received a complaint from the complainant via normal channels. But of course, contrary to their claims - no such communication had taken place.
