Ha, I was trying to think of a response to Attention-Starved-Kelly, but all my ideas were pretty snarky. I like yours.

Lee,
Very thorough list. We like contests in particular as they attract all sorts of links and traffic. We are just wrapping one of for the health and wellness industry. In fact if your readers want, they can vote for the winner here (until 11/11/09).

Re: Real or Fake PageRank Update In Progress (round 3)

I think Amish Furn has it right "quite thunder" and frustrating as heck!

Just for more data... http://www.aspdotnetstorefront.com/ was a PR7, dropped to a 6. Classic ecomm website that has been around for years. Fresh content, never paid for a link.

Re: Digg Favorites Slapped By Google

Arnie - Link Building Mav — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 13:59:16 -0000

You gotta just love the www.YouTube.com pagerank. Still sits at 3. This isn't over by a long shot. I think it is going to get pretty messy for Google.

We took a look at the article directories -- all of them lost 1 to 3 notches. No big surprise there tho.

Also pretty funny how all of us claim not to really care about PR, but this one post has 116 comments.

At this point this probably falls into the "beating a dead horse" category, but I just took a look at some directories to see what the PR hit. Most of the major players like Yahoo, Business and BOTW held their PR. But here is a random list of others that did not.

Just more data points...
http://www.alivedirectory.com/ was pr6 now pr4
http://www.uncoverthenet.com/ was pr6 now pr0
http://www.web-directory.org was pr5 now pr3
http://www.thisisouryear.com/ was pr5 now pr2

Re: Blogrush – Free Blog Traffic – In depth Review

Arnie - Link Building Mav — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 19:52:24 -0000

Was just getting ready to add this to my blogs and thought I better see if there are any reviews or better widgets that are similar. Glad to see you were all over it.

Now that it has been a couple months, do you still recommend it? I see it is still on your site.

Knowing Reese, I take it his goal is to build a huge subcriber list and an ad platform?

Re: Portal Feeder vs StomperNet

Arnie - Link Building Mav — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 20:38:57 -0000

Andy,
I know this is an older post, but I was surfing around trying to dig up some info on how Google felt about membership groups like StomperNet and PortalFeeder and my search led me here.

The bottom line to these programs is helping build links to member sites (I know the offer other good stuff too). I love the concept, but something tells me Google frowns on this.

It would be easy for Google to join, discover the members and then penalize them. Any thoughts on why they don't (seem to)? Is that they don't feel this is spammy -- more cooperative?

Well I wish I would have written it down verbatim, but I heard Adam Lasnik of Google say to a large group at SES in Chicago, that sites that are buying links are not getting their money's worth. That's a pretty powerful comment.

Re: How to Get the Most Out of LinkedIn

I have been on LinkedIn for a long time and only recently have I really learned how to take full advantage of it. I have generated leads for our business, found old friends, reignited past business relationships and contributed to the community. It is the one social media I site I actively participate in.

I hope Google doesn't buy GoDaddy. GoDaddy is a fun company with incredible support. I would hate to see anything that would disrupt that.

BTW - I added the Google stuff to one of my blogs this morning and it worked perfectly.

Re: Purchase Links or Build Website Networks?

Arnie - Link Building Mav — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 08:33:45 -0000

I am a big advocate of "own it" rather than "rent it", so I would support any company initiative to build high quality, niche sites supporting their marketing and link building efforts.

Arnie - Link Building Mav — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 10:57:18 -0000

It would be great to get some detailed definitions from Google, but it will never happen. I feel sorry for the 100' of thousands of website owners (SMBs)who do not even understand search optimization or know that there is even such a thing as Google Guidelines or Webmaster Central. They can be penalized and innocent at the same time.

We actually offer blog commenting as a part of our services for our clients. We do not spam clients, instead we learn their business and try to make solid, informative comments on appropriate blogs. The results have been excellent both from a link building and traffic perspective.

We were just having a discussion here on how to do more educating with our clients on social marketing. We do a lot of implementing for some, but there is still a disconnect for most. Your list is a good summary of what we run into every week.

I watched the WebProNews video - good stuff. I will also be at SES and look forward to this session.

What is your view on large companies "encouraging" their employees to bookmark pages on their corporate sites? Or any planned effort to get a lot of bookmarks quickly. Could even be a school getting their students to bookmakre specific pages. Active SMO or SMO Spam?

Looking forward to seeing the results of Rand's study. BTW - they also mentioned at the conference that even if you think you have the perfect content (even a great contest), the odds are it still won't hit the big time. You have to keep trying it on a consistant basis.

The long list of events is almost ridiculous. In it's heyday I don't believe the computer industry ever had this many events to attend. Something will have to give in the future.

Re: SEO Tops Recession Internet Marketing Tactics

Arnie - Link Building Mav — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 13:11:17 -0000

Lee- 400 responsed is very impressive. I think video marketing is low based on most people feeling it is complicated and expensive. That's the feedback we get. We try to explain how expensive PPC and other tactics (including SEO) are, but limited success with that argument so far.
