Happy Birthday SexySEO

My dearest SEXiest SEO – I’m infinitely sorry. How could I be so stupid not to post my virtual greetings in time? How could I think that it’s enough to make a non-virtual presentation?

Why it is good to link to LZZR

Google Teaches us a bit of SEDD

Another addition to my SEDD collection – Google itself produced a small guide to SEDD, I quote from their Webmaster Guidelines Don’t participate in link schemes designed to increase your site’s ranking or PageRank. In particular, avoid links to web spammers or “bad neighborhoods” on the web, as your own ranking may be affected adversely [...]

What a SEDD coincidence!

It’s been just a couple of days since I had written about the possibility of SEDD and what a coincidence! In my post I was talking about Bad Neghbourhood and precisely this happened to me – I looked at my backlinks on Technorati and it happened that some jerk decided that linking a dozen of [...]

Jesus Search in Tags – Technorati goes Banner Blind

It pays to keep your eyes open As banner-blindness increases in all of us it seems it also affects the banner-targeting algorithms.
