Re: Launch Tree Bonus From Stompernet

Joel McLaughlin — Fri, 15 May 2009 15:39:15 -0000

Interesting stuff, it's definitely smart to be careful what you recommend, I know once you have built up a reputation, you should only offer the best advice to others. I don't know much about the Stompernet affiliate program, but I am eager to hear more once it is fully functional and offers all the benefits that it should, I don't want anything in Beta. I am going to check out the $1 course - i am somewhat intrigued

Re: Why Tweetmeme Sucks For Marketers

Joel McLaughlin — Fri, 15 May 2009 15:43:25 -0000

Those are some valid points and arguments. They should simplify and limit some tracking factors. I think they could really benefit from reading this review, which they should. TweetMeme is based around a good idea, and I have checked it out before.

Unfortunately, my tweeting ability has been very limited lately because I don't have the time and my wife doesn't like me working past 5. lol

Re: A Geeky Look & Some Simple Solutions To Achieving First Link Priority & Referential Integrity With WordPress (Or Why WordPress SEO Themes Aren't)

Joel McLaughlin — Fri, 22 May 2009 14:56:38 -0000

Wow, I have never really thought much about this topic, but First Link Priority makes complete sense. I need to consider moving my navigation to the right side column or re-aligning tables on many websites, because that could be creating problems...

Re: SEO Blogs Need A Serious Spring Clean

Joel McLaughlin — Wed, 27 May 2009 19:16:17 -0000

I am probably one of the people that provide bad SEO content in my blog, but it's mostly used to improve my search engine rankings and lure in potential clients. With that said, I totally agree with your thoughts

Re: PageRank Sculpting Isn't Dead But Comments Can Kill Your PageRank

Joel McLaughlin — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 19:21:26 -0000

Very interesting... I have noticed that following Matt Cutts recommendations and getting your site in order before you try to really manipulate with authority from blog comments has value. Often times on brand new sites I will get one link to the site from an authority so that the site gets indexed. Then I will make weekly updates, and after the first 3 weeks or so I start obtaining links on an upward trend so that it looks natural and organic. Also, I focus on getting links from a wide variety of places:

Forums
Blog Comments
Guest Blog Posts
Directories (quality)
Articles
Internal Links
EDU/Gov links
Reciprocal links (only when necessary to obtain a great link)
Links from other sites home pages

That seems to work great for me, but I am sure a lot of tactics work great.

Re: Yahoo Not Done With Its Bing Critique Just Yet

Joel McLaughlin — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 22:45:39 -0000

A very interesting post, it is a little scarey that the Yahoo CEO isn't too excited about fine tuning and improving search. They need to have another website created that is yahoo simple search and yahoo media, to help those who just want search and then help those that want all their news and information

Joel McLaughlin — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 22:32:06 -0000

Re: Stock Image Slide Shows are NOT Video SEO!

Agreed, video seo and video marketing needs to have a unique spin. it can't just be a couple of slides in a video file or something like that.
