In the past months, I received some very interesting cooperation proposals, from Romania and USA, that I must say they really works. Join some “360 degrees offering groups”. What are those? An association between complementary businesses that goes to a client with a complete offer. So, Ferseta e-Consulting Cabinet (offering e-marketing services) + a PR … Read more
I see that switter.com generates more traffic to those who use it, me included. And direct links with “follow” always helps for google:)
Manafu just reminded me via this post that some weeks ago I answered myself to the questionnaire from Biz. The results, plus some of my inputs you can see here (pages 26-41):
Google just banned one of our Adwords Accounts, because the landing page was a very low quality. Unfortunately, we cannot get back the money from the balance, which is very annoying. Learning #1: always train the client and if possible force him to be as web-civilized as possible Learning #2: always keep your eggs in … Read more
In those 200 algorithm variables that influence the site position in google search results, now the site loading speed becomes more important. Here is the google announcement: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2010/04/using-site-speed-in-web-search-ranking.html So, if you hosting provider is slow, CHANGE IT.
I am shocked. “Manele” search term in Google is dropping fast. http://www.google.com/trends?q=manele For those who does not now what manele is, consider yourself fortuned.
Lately I saw that google is more interested in the site overall position than in the particularly content. For example, let’s take a search term very niche, like “djksalkjdfalkdjfalkdjf”, where there are not too many competitors. Or no competitors at all. 🙂 Before, if you had a page more or less optimized for this search … Read more
3 weeks ago we bought a new domain, hpcheap.com – google keyword tool showed that there are a huge number of searches (110k monthly searches) and there was medium competition. After creating the site and getting some links to it (from several PR4 and several PR3 sites), I was nicely surprised to see that google … Read more
Last year I kept records for recalculations of Page Rank and I saw first hand that it does it every 26 days (plus/minus) Now I realized something else. That the calculation is done during the full month, not like a full radiography in the last days. For example: I have a site (A) that I … Read more
I just quoted rebuilding a website that is a health hazard for programmers. The colors are so bright that it’s impossible to look more then a couple of seconds without going blind. Indeed, the colors are part of the brand positioning. But what about the poor developers? 🙂 Maybe we’ll use a mild color for … Read more
Until now, I was very proud that all my connections in Linkedin and Facebook were people that I personally know.Whenever a new person sent me a new connection request and I never knew it, he/she ended up in spam. But now I am reconsidering my opinion. It seems that there is an added benefit after … Read more
All sites needs incoming links to grow. But a lot of places where you can get those links have a nasty habit of having no-follow tag. In twitter for example, when you specify your web address (that’s showing you in your profile page) – http://www.twitter.com/cferseta, you can see a “no follow”. In blogs comments – … Read more
This morning I received a communication (very polite, I recognize) from a developer saying something like this: “My client phone (an insurance broker) is on your site. Please take it down. Otherwise we have a mandate to use our Lawyers” Indeed, I have several insurance sites, and in one of them there is a list … Read more
Google is not indexing all the pages, unless you have a site of 5 pages. Let’s say you have 1,000,000 pages, but google sees only 1,000. Where are the rest? Even after submitting sitemap.xml, still the number does not increase significantly. The reason is: the incoming links. More incoming links you have, more pages google … Read more
I just found something about twitter and its twitter spam. If your user (or your name) contains key words, with huge searches, then you’ll be followed in no time by a lot of spammers. While if your twitter name is niche, than twitter spam is much, much lower.
