- June 19, 2009 - Posted by Chuck Price to Link Building
- Links for Sale – PR9 Links only $300 / Month I was speaking with a client in a highly competitive industry yesterday. He’s a reformed link buyer – hasn’t bought a link in 7 months. The only problem is that all of his competitors are buying links and kicking his ass for some key phrases. He wanted to know what could be done about this injustice. I told him to root for Microsoft to acquire Yahoo, and...

- Higher Than Deserved Rankings – Are you too High?
- June 11, 2009 - Posted by Jim Boykin to Link Building
- Yesterday I happened to be on wikipedia.com on the trustrank page, when I scrolled over the words “various techniques to achieve higher-than-deserved rankings” in the second paragraph, and the link title popped up “Search Engine Optimization” hum…so Search Engine Optimization is “various techniques to achieve higher-than-deserved rankings“…but hey…I do believe I’ve heard those exact words used before by some search engine engineers, and I think I’ve read those exact words before in some patents. I wish there...

- Pagerank is Dead. Sculpting is Dead. Trust is Alive….in my eyes.
- June 9, 2009 - Posted by Jim Boykin to Link Building
- There’s been a few debates that I’ve wanted to weigh in on… one that comes to mind is the big hub bub over pagerank sculpting via use of the nofollow tags…. Pagerank sculpting is based on the formula from the original Pagerank patent from 1998, (PDF) that says the value of a backlinks is found via dividing the number of links on page by the value of a page (with a slight dampening factor). The public news...

- June 8, 2009 - Posted by Jim Boykin to Link Building, Web Content
- We were speaking on the phone today to a client who has such good content, that she’s found that several other websites copied her content, even though there’s a copyright notice on every page of the clients site. One of the biggest problems has been people using this content in Yahoo Answers, and these yahoo pages showing up above the client in google search results. If you run a manual check for duplicate content (taking...

(when I started writing I didn’t know where it would end up…that’s how I write… for those who aren’t familiar with my writing, I tend to write as a stream of consciousness…with lots of 3 dots while I’m thinking… I’ll tell ya what, since you’re here, I’ll start...
