Twitter Forced Auto-Follow

goodtaste — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 02:21:36 GMT

I've been struggling with this ever since my number of followers grew on Twitter. Forced auto-follow software is being used to "force" me to follow people automatically that I have not chosen to follow and I have been having to manually delete them or block them. Is there a way to prevent forced auto-follow software from being used on a Twitter account? I tried researching this online and only found one article of a man who has been experiencing this and is very angry, but he offered no solutions. I too, would like to follow those I choose to follow, not people I don't want. Any suggestions?

Much appreciated!

Pinterest and SEO question

canadafred — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 23:57:02 GMT

I was reading about this Pinterest social media assimilator thingy and it somehow through links adds value to web pages.

So I wanted to check it out and opened up an account. I can't figure out what it wants me to do with creating a board and such.

Anyone use this gizmo? What exactly does it do? How can pinning stuff improve search engine rankings?

Still I am not benefiting from Link Wheel, what am I doing wrong.

ellenwillss — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 05:51:22 GMT

There is no doubt that link building is one of the best off site SEO practices. However I am not able to benefit from it, I am doing it as it should be done. Have created 10 different blogs for the same topic, all these blogs are regularly updated. Each blog post contains two links, one link to the website that I am promoting and other to some other blog. Still I am not benefiting from Link Wheel, what am I doing wrong.

Send bank details via form

mdpepper — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:27:32 GMT

Hi guys, I am an IT placement student with a company coming to the end of my year. The exciting prospect of being employed by this company has came up for the time between when I finish as a student and beginning my final year at university.

The task that will need to be done is to set up a form using asp that will process direct debit details. I can happily use forms to transfer information between scripts and communicate with servers. I want to know what the procedure is for transmitting this information securely.

It has not been decided yet if the database which contains this information will be kept on an internal server or hosted externally. I have tried googling answers but I have been unable to find anything useful.

What security issues should be taken into account when a user is entering and submitting their bank account details?

Will they need to be encrypted in some way?

Is the best course of action to get in touch with the company that will be processing the direct debits and requesting the use of a dummy server that will be able to receive information I send and respond accordingly?

Thanks,
David

Making money from Olympic Games 2012 ticket backlinks

happygeek — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 11:37:30 GMT

Probably the most common Olympic Games 2012 scam is that of unofficial ticket sales. No great surprise there, but the fact that Google appears to be in on the act might come as a shock to many. So what, exactly, is going on?

A little known law in the UK is, and I kid you not, the 'London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Act 2006' which, amongst other things, makes it a criminal offence to sell tickets for the Olympics without the explicit permission of the authorities running the Olympics 2012 event. Yet when the BBC investigated how easy it was to get just such unauthorised tickets earlier this year, what it discovered was that unofficial ticket vendors and cybercriminals alike were exploiting Google AdWords and the use of multiple backlinking URLs to do just that.

Most end users do not actually care if the source of the tickets they are buying is authorised or not, to be honest, but perhaps they should. The allure of getting the ticket for an event you want to watch, at any cost, is a strong one. But that cost could turn out to be way higher than expected, and I'm not talking about the difference between face value ticketing and the selling price from a ticket tout for want of a better word. There's also the cybercriminal angle to take into account as Carl Leonard from the Websense Security Labs points out:

"We're used to cybercriminals jumping on the latest events to fool people into clicking on malicious links and the Olympics is no different. The excitement around ticket sales for this major international event has prompted scammers into action. Cybercriminals have sponsored ads in Google that can lead to sites containing around 500 backlinking URLs. These links have been found to lead to anything from adult material, gambling and malware."

The main problem here is the usual one when it comes to online scams of any sort, namely the transference of trust. While the average punter may not be too keen on buying tickets from a website called Fred's Olympic Tickets or similar if they got a flyer through the door or saw a poster on a wall advertising said dealer, when a Google search not only throws up that link but does so right at the top of the list of hits in the form of an advert then that same user feels the link has somehow been legitimised by Google, even to the point of making the incorrect assumption that the seller has been approved by Google and is therefore trustworthy.

Nothing could be further from the truth of course, and Google is keen to confirm this by pointing out that Google "is not responsible for" nor able "to monitor the actions of each company" and Google AdWords only "provides a platform for companies to advertise their services" and nothing more.

What Google does do, however, is use an automated filtering system that checks for keyword abuse and other methods that are used by SEO poisoners in an attempt to inflate the adverts quality score and push it up the rankings to appear right at the top of any search listing. Those ads that are flagged by the automated filtering system will get manually checked and removed if found to violate Google AdWords policy, but this process can take many days during which time the advert still sits at the top of the ratings and still attracts hits for the scammers.

I use the word scammers with good reason; many of the Olympic ticker sellers that Websense investigated, for example, were found to have multiple backlinks which suggest that they had been widely spammed. One site had 500 backlinks with malicious embedded links and potentially unwanted software amongst them, another had 375 backlinks with 104 of them pointing towards objectionable content. It is obvious from this that the bad guys are using the scramble for Olympics 2012 tickets in order to make money from backlinking as well as selling tickets, assuming that any genuine tickets were actually available in the first place.

The only way to check that the tickets you are about to purchase are authorised, official and likely to actually get you access to the Olympic Games 2012 event that you think they will (and unauthorised ticket holders will simply be turned away from the turnstiles on the day) is to use the official Olympics 2012 Ticketing Website Checker.

Link wheel is best for SEO

1paket.com — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 13:50:19 GMT

Link wheel is strategy in which you create some articles on social media websites and link them in a wheel. It drives traffic and backlinks to your websites if and only if you are creating QUALITY wheels.
Here’s an example of link wheel
- Write content on your website
- Create a bunch of quality article and post them on different social media sites
- Link all these articles (published on your website and on social media sites) in form of wheel closing the link loop with your website's content
In this way you link your story and pages back to your own website like the spokes of a wheel hence called a link wheel

Scrappers are abusing this technique and creating wheels of spun and rephrased articles.
There are mixed opinions over the legitimacy of this technique in the eyes of search engines.

How to start your first SEO project

AccurateAG — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 23:16:39 GMT

PART 1

1. INTRODUCTION: When you are starting with your first SEO project, you may feel as if you have been told to empty the ocean with a teaspoon, there is so much to know and so much to do. Well, don't freak out, it is not as bad as it sounds. You simply have to look at it as a series of tasks to be done. The U.S. military works this way; they look at a goal (say "Force the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany") and break it down to what needs to be done, how they can do it, what resources are needed, how to get those resources, and budgets for money and time. You need to do the same.

There is one other thing to remember: SEO is marketing. Now, in the old days all you needed was a sign and a Yellow Pages ad, and you were set. SEO is not like that; it is much less expensive in money (if you do it yourself) than the Yellow Pages, but it is much more time-consuming.

2. GOAL OF THE PROJECT: Get on the first page of Google, Bing, and Yahoo so you can increase sales and GET MORE MONEY!

3. ASSUMPTIONS: This article assumes:

3-1. This is a new business.

3-2. You have done your due diligence, including, among other things, researched your local regulatory requirements and fees, done your market research, defined your Unique Selling Proposition, written your business plan, done your keyword research, researched your time and money budgets, and secured financing (if needed).

3-3. You have a small budget and are doing this yourself.

3-4. You are in the United States. If you are in another country, then some of the steps may not apply, or additional steps may be required.

3-5. You have a Wintel PC. If you don't, you will need to find the equivalent programs.

4. INGREDIENTS: You will need:

4-1. A PC with an internet connection. This needs to be as powerful as you can afford; this is your primary business tool, and you need to be efficient. A slow PC is not efficient. Again, your internet connection needs to be as fast as you can afford. You don't want to go back to the days of the World Wide Wait; you want your connection to be fast so you can get more done.

4-2. Firefox, or some other internet browser.

4-3. Word, or some other word processor

4-4 Excel, or some other spreadsheet

4-5. Notepad, or some other text editor

4-6. Paint, or some other picture editor

4-7. Knowledge of how to use Google, Bing, and Yahoo to find what you need.

PART 2:

BASIC PREPARATION

1. Your first step is to GET A NAME for your company. Sounds simple, right? Well, not exactly. You need to:

1-1. Write down about 25-30 names, preferably ones that feature your main keyword(s).

1-2. Ensure your name is NOT listed in

1-2-1. Google (ignore those outside your country).

1-2-2. Your local phone book.

1-2-3. The Fictitious Business Name listing for your city/county.

1-2-4. The Secretary of State's office for your state, both the Corporation and LLC listings.

1-3. Basically, you want to ensure your name is available (NOT listed) in all these places. If the all your names are taken, try again, and again if need be, until you find a good name for your business.

2. Get a physical address. A P.O. Box or mail drop/license hanging service will serve. You will need this for billing and business registration purposes. Check the registration requirements at the federal, state, and local governments to ensure a P.O. box is acceptable.

3. Once you have a name, write down about 25-30 URLs with variations on that name. See which ones are available. Again, you want to include your major keywords, if possible.

4. Once you have chosen your URL, buy it through a domain registrar such as Yahoo or GoDaddy.

5. Research and choose a web hosting service. Personally, I use GoDaddy since they offer a template service with unlimited tech support. They are also rock-solid reliable; my site has been down for 20 minutes in 7 years!

6. Establish your e-mail addresses with Yahoo, Hotmail, and GMail. Why? You want these as logins for the analytics.

7. Get a fax number. An EFax account will work. It may be old-fashioned, but it is still a good thing to have.

8. Get a phone number. You will want something that Craigslist will recognize for phone verification. Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon cellphones work; MagicJack, MetroPCS, and Google Voice do not. Vonage SOMETIMES works, and sometimes does not.

9. Register your business with the federal (IRS), state, county, and city business licensing departments. This will eat up a large portion of your budget.

WEB SITE STARTUP AND ON-SITE SEO.

10. Design and build your web site. You want to build basic SEO into this from the beginning. Ensure your Unique Selling Proposition is built in from the beginning.

11. DO YOUR KEYWORD RESEARCH AGAIN. You should have already done this as part of your due diligence, but you need to do it again.

12. Ensure all images have ALT tags.

13. Write a unique title for each page of your site.

14. Write a 150 character or less meta description.

15. Build about 2-3 different keywords into each page of your website. They must occur naturally on the page. DO NOT just put in your keyword 100 times! SEO is increasingly about relevant, original, quality content, which above all means GOOD WRITING.

16. WRITING: Everything you write on the web site or for you postings MUST BE:

16-1. Run through a spell checker.

16-2. Run through a grammar checker

16-3. REVIEWED. It is way too easy to miss something as simple as a missing word, or two similar words that do not interchange. Spell checkers and grammar checkers can only do so much. For example, if you misspell FROM as FORM, Word (or your word processor) will not catch it. There are several techniques to do this:

16-3-1. Put it to one side for a day or two, then read it again.

16-3-2. Read it letter for letter backwards. Weird, yes, but it works.

16-3-3. Have someone else read it for you. Address the questions they have in the document.

16-4. If English is not your first language, and you are marketing to native English speakers, have a native English speaker review it, if possible. Make the required changes. Remember, you are asking them to review your language usage so you can increase your sales. Pride of authorship is NOT appropriate in this case.

17. You will need to write longer descriptions, as well, for the business listing and yellow pages sites. See the Basic Directory Posting Tutorial I wrote (it is in the Tutorial section of this forum).

18. When you write a description, run it through the word count tool in Word, too (Tools, Word Count). Keep track of how many characters, including spaces, it is, as well as how many words. You will need this for directory postings later on. Keep this in a *.txt file; word processor files have a habit of adding strange characters which interfere with your work.

19. DOCUMENT! See Paragraphs 32, 33, and 34 for more details.

20. You will want to make an e-mail address on your web site for your listings and directory postings.

21. Review and publish!

Hey, I'm done with my on-site SEO, right? Uh, no. There is still a lot more work to do, amigo, but you could not do it until you had a live site.

22. Now you need to register your site with:

- Google Analytics

- Google Plus

- Bing Webmaster Tools

- Yahoo Local

- Alexa

- DMOZ

- Don't forget to upload your sitemap to Google and Bing. If you are using GoDaddy, it is easy to generate this. If not, just go to one of the many sitemap generating sites on the web.

Put the verification codes you get on your website and republish.

23. Now register your site with as many yellow pages sites as possible. Many will require phone verification, so have your phone handy! Even though this is technically off-page SEO, you want to get it done early, so people can start finding you.

24. Now sign up for as many business listing sites as you can. Start with Yelp, Merchant Circle, and Manta, and go from there.

25. Now you need to sign up for social media sites. You want to start with:

- Facebook

- Twitter

- LinkedIn

- StumbleUpon

- Wordpress (or some other blogging site), if you don't have a blog on your website already.

- YouTube (if you are video-capable, or your business is video-friendly).

and go on from there.

Hey, John, wait a second. What does this have to do with ON-SITE SEO? Patience you must have, yes.

26. Once you have signed up for all of these (and you did keep track of your usernames, passwords, and URLs, right?), establish a way for people to comment on you without allowing them into your account. This will take a little time and some learning.

27. Once you have the appropriate URLs, then you want to put them on your web site. The easiest way is to have the icon on your web site. The easiest way to get the icons is to go to Google, Image Search, and look for an exact size. You want the icons to be mostly, if not all, the same file type (i.e. JPG or PNG). If you get them all the same size, it makes it look professional, and is easier than having to adjust the size in Paint. At least in GoDaddy, I can put a link in the image; when you click on it, it will take you to that URL.

When you do this, remember the goal of this part of the project: You want to make it easy for people to "like" you. So, put the icon and link for the social media sites, your blog, and your business listing sites on your site in a place that is easy to see.

Republish when you are done putting up the links.

28. Go to a website grading site, such as HubSpot or DIYSEO, and see how you did. Tweak as needed.

You are now done with the basic on-site portion of your project. However, you will want to ensure that each of the social media websites, your blog, and your business listing sites all link to one another. Basically, if someone goes to your blog, or your Facebook page, or some other site, you want them to be able to click on your icon and go right to your site, or your blog, or another social media site.

OFF-SITE SEO

29. You started this when you registered your site and signed up for the yellow pages, business listing sites, and social media. Now you need to do several other things to get more backlinks. You will want to use a combination of:

- List with the Local directories for Google, Bing, and Yahoo.

- Directory postings (see my tutorial)

- Classified ad site postings (see my tutorial on Craigslist in the Tutorials section of this forum).

- Article Marketing

- Press release marketing

- Blog commenting

- Forum commenting and posting

- Video postings. YouTube is not the only video site, you know.

A note on blog commenting and forum commenting and posting. Make sure you are contributing relevant comments and posts; if you don't, you most likely will be kicked off that site. Make sure your comments are spelled correctly and are grammatical. I can't tell you how many people can't write plain, clear, simple English. I understand many people (maybe even you) are not native English speakers, but please, try to write in a way that others can understand!

30. A note on Paint. Paint is a basic picture editor found in most versions of Windows. Learn to use the version on your computer. In mine, I can:
- Convert JPGs, GIFs, PNGs, and BMPs to one another.
- Change the size of a file, including to exact pixels.
- Rotate and flip the images.

31. A note on text editors. There are more text editors out there besides just Notepad. Notepad is basic, and it comes with most versions of Windows. If you need more capabilities than what Notepad provides, try TextPad. You can get that at CNet.

32. CNet is a very useful site; you can download a lot of useful programs for free. It is the first place I go when looking for a program to help solve a problem.

33. Documentation: You will want:

33-1. A folder on your PC with all your SEO information in it.

33-2. A *.txt file with all your:

33-2-1. Listings for directories. Don't forget to have the number of characters and number of words adjacent to the text of the listing. As you go along, you will need to rewrite your postings to fit the requirements of various sites; keep those here, too.

33-2-2. Your website URL; also include up to 5 subsidiary links for "deep link" directories.

33-2-3. URLs for your social media, business listing, and blog sites.

33-2-4. Basic contact information such as name, address, phone number, and e-mail address. Your fax number, if you have one, goes here, too.

33-2-5. Your keywords. Keep track of the number of words and the number of characters, the same way you did with you directory listings. You want both comma separated and space separated keyword lists.

Hey, John, why keep all these in one file? So you can access the data quickly and easily. After all, how many files do you want to have open at one time?

33-3. Your logo file, if you have one, goes into this directory.

33-4. A spreadsheet where you keep track of all your logins, postings, and rankings. You will want at least 5 pages:
- Usernames and passwords for various key sites, such as Google Analytics
- Directory postings
- Yellow Pages postings
- Other postings, such as for business listing sites.
On these pages, you want to keep track of the name of the site, its URL, your username, the password, the e-mail account you used to establish this account, any security questions and answers, and the date you listed with them.

34. Rankings. You want to see results from your work, so you will want to keep track of where you rank on Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Now, let me tell you there are tools out there to do this work for you; however, they are only looking for ONE specific URL. As part of your SEO project, you will be listing with many different sites, from Google to Craigslist to the yellow pages. Frankly, you are less concerned about WHICH site generates traffic (or phone calls) so long as it DOES generate traffic.

You will want to keep track of:
- Date
- Google
-- Keyword.
-- Which site
- Bing
-- Keyword.
-- Which site
- Yahoo
- Keyword.
- Which site
Under Keyword you will put which page you are on.

You will want to have at least 2-3 keyword phrases for which you are looking to rank your site.

Under Site you will put an abbreviation which says which site you are on. For example, I have had my listings come up, not just from my web site, but from Digg, Manta, Craigslist, MerchantCircle, and Yelp, among other sites.

Keep track of how many Google backlinks you have.

Keep track of your Alexa ranking, the increment between two days, and the 5-day moving average.

Keep track of your pagerank.

Complicated? No, not really. You can do all this in about 5 minutes a day or so.

35. Learning. SEO is an ever-changing field, so you need to keep up with the changes. Look on the web for some people who will send you e-mails, e-books, etc.; read them and keep them. Review them when your business is slow. Also, look for some forums where you can learn and contribute.

36. Tools. You will want to find SEO tools that fit your needs. Again, look on the web; there are a bunch of tools out there. Find a few and use them as needed.

37. TIME BUDGET

If you have experience with such things as web design, then you will be able to complete the project faster. If you are hiring someone to do it for you, then it will be faster (but more expensive). The more experience you have, the faster it will go; the more learning you need to do, the slower it will be. My experience shows:

- Name, e-mail, get the URL, etc. (steps 1-8): 1-2 days

- Register with the government: 1-2 days, depending on whether you need to drive to their offices or can do it on line or on the phone.

- Basic web design: 1-7 days depending on your experience and the size of the site.

- Registration with Bing, Google, Yahoo, DMOZ, Alexa: 1 day

- Registration with yellow pages sites: 1-2 days

- Registration with business listing sites: 1-2 days.

- Social Media: 3-5 days depending on experience, number of sites you list on, etc.

- Putting the links on your site, and linking each profile to the others: 1-2 days

- Web site grading and tweaking: 1-2 days.

- Off-Page SEO: Daily, 1-2 hours a day, until you take your web site down.

Hey John, how soon will I be up on the first page of Google, Bing, and Yahoo? Just a few weeks, right? Umm, no. It will take months. What I have outlined here are some "white hat" techniques. "Black hat" techniques are available, that do get you listed higher and faster; the downside is when (not if) Google finds out about it, your site will drop off the rankings, and may even be banned. Do you really want to risk that?

You will want to do the best job you can. I saw a stat the other day; there are 550 MILLION web sites out there; over 300 MILLION were started up in the last year. So you can see the competition is stiff. You can do it, but it is harder than it used to be, and the better you do youR job the easier and faster it will be to achieve your goal.

REMEMBER THE GOAL: First page of Google, Bing, and Yahoo so you can generate MORE INCOME! Good luck.

Does This Guy Know What He is Talking About?

AccurateAG — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 22:11:26 GMT

Hi All:

I have the following situation, and I need some advice.

I am helping out a friend with SEO for his web site. After starting the project, he called me and said his web person was beginning to freak out, that my friend's web site could be banned. I spoke to the web tech, and he stated:

1. If we submit the same web site to Google Analytics more than once, the web site could be banned. Is this true?

2. He does not believe in posting to the Yellow Pages sites, says they have issues. Is this true?

3. He had not submitted the sitemap to Bing and Google, as this is a Wordpress site, which has issues with sitemaps. Is this true?

4. He had not submitted to the Google, Bing, or Yahoo local directories, said he preferred to get organic results by checking in to places through Facebook on my friend's IPhone. Is this true?

I just need to see if this guy knows what he is talking about. I don't have enough experience to know if this guy is a BS artist or telling me the truth.

Thanks.

John

directory site link exchange

shainex — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 10:44:09 GMT

if we don't get same category links then whether it is good to exchange links with directory sites.

like wen we submit our link to directory site then we have two options:- one is regular and other one is reciprocal.. So my question is that if we add directory site link in our
resources page because we are not getting relevant link for link exchange.
Is that a good sign regarding seo or is it spamming.. I mean how Google will treat this?

Bad backlinks

HelenLF — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:06:58 GMT

I was recently looking at the existing backlinks of a client for whom I am about to design a new website and I found that a porn site had taken one of her blog posts and embedded it in their site. The link was 'nofollow' but if someone was on their site and saw my client's blog article and clicked the link they went to another web page. I have to add that my client has no associated or adult content on their site. The porn site had also done the same with other sites - some of whom were child related. All of the imported blog posts had one word in common (a girl's name), other than that they were unrelated.
Is there anyway to stop this or anyone that my client could make a complaint to?
Sorry if this is not the correct forum for this post.

Image Ads on Craigslist

AccurateAG — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 22:01:48 GMT

Hi All:

I am having a bunch of trouble with Craigslist; basically, I think I need more phone numbers so I can make new accounts.

Until I can do that, I want to post image ads on CL.

The only image ad service I know of is Use.com, where I can use templates, etc., to make image ads.

However, Use.com is a pain! I keep running into problems with it. I don't understand how this site works! It makes way too many assumptions about what I want to do, it does not allow me to see what images I have, and on and on.

Does anyone know of a better, easier-to-use, FREE image ad service?

Thanks.

michellecrossle — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 04:47:45 GMT

When businesses use a particular strategy to further their interests, it is obvious that they want to measure the exact return on their investment. In my opinion, key factors that indicate the effect of social media marketing on the customers are loyalty towards brand, customer satisfaction, and revenues generated through such efforts.

Hello,

I have a client that wants to switch his TLD (top level domain) over when the new design for his site goes live.

Problem is his old domain have thousands of backlinks linking back to his old domain.

The plan is to set up a 301 Re-Direct from the old domain to the new domain. I was just wondering if this re-direct will render the backlinks useless?

Any one come across this problem or have any solutions/advice?
