As many of you who pay attention to the web and the PR that Google updates when it feels it is time to do so it, that time has come again. Some people are happy about the update and got a boost and some people are upset at the way the big G has changed (read made smarter) the alogo. I have to say that some of my sites that were PR 3 were all swatted down to PR 0. But the sites that I have been paying attention to and give a bit of linking action and content building have either gotten a boost from 0 to 3 or a body check and bumped down 1.
SEO is alive and well. Some people will tell you that doing SEO is not rocket science, but I and (others in this industry) would harshly disagree. To those who build out mini-sites on a regular basis or who work as a seo webmaster no, it is not rocket science, but what about the guy who doesn’t know what a HEADER 1 tag is? How about filling in a title so it doesn’t just say “New Document” –we have all see that one– Or how about Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI)? Or Good keywords from Bad keywords, check out the free trial at Wordtracker for that one. Key an eye out for anchor text a and using Alt tags in Images. Getting your hands wet using Adwords; writing a good ad verses writing a bad ad.And let us all remember to use a very basic robot.txt file to let in the happy spiders, crawlers and bots that come looking and to keep out the bad ones (well, when they listen) So if you get it great if you don’t then SEO is still alive and a profitable biz to be in. There is so much more to list but you get the point. SEO can be a full time job r at the bare minimum it should be used on page.
Domain Names are going up for sale!!! Take a look over at the CAC2007 auction. Moniker has a 2 week silent auction running therefrom May 2nd until the 16th I believe. And they all the domains they are willing to look over for the NYC 2007 TRAFFIC auction i their hands right now as I type. Well, to be fair they had those all in bundle last week, because April 26th was the last day to submit names for that monster of a domain name auction. Domainers Galore are all very excited about this event that will be held on June 19th-22 and the LIVE Domain name auction hosted by Moniker will run on June 21. Come watch the bigtime NY spenders come and get their rich hands on some of the coolest, er hottest names in the biz. Then again if you know that domains are only going to get more and more valuable (at least iof you know what to look for) then you will be holding on to your names for a wee bit longer. Best of luck to those that have names moving into the live auction and for the rest who will be in the silent auction may your reserve be high so you don;t get screwed out of your domain name(s)
