Extreme Blogging for Business and Leisure

Monday, October 31st, 2011

Rank algorithm update from google weeded out a lot of good or bad websites,   the reason cited is that google wanted to provide more relevant results, google engineers published blog post which indicated there were 11.8% organic search results will be affected, in another word, there are about 12% of google search results are considered low quality by google itself. Google started this change almost one year ago, no wonder I saw a few of my keywords’ ranks dropped like a rock, on the other hand almost all keywords promoted by contextual links are not affected, and a few of them even gained a few positions, it’s obvious that linking campaign the old way is the thing of past, probably due to link spamming sites being tossed out by google.

So what exactly is linking campaign the old way? a large percentage of SEO firms will do this,  they add your links to those linking websites without context, the only updates on those websites are the new links, and most of them are useless, we call these sites link spamming sites. New google algorithm most likely will punish these link spammers,  all the links on those websites will have the same fate.  

Maybe a few examples will make it clear. In the very beginning, I didn’t know better, I needed to rank the keyword, standard winch bar, of course with old way of link building, lately I figured that every site in the campaign had way too many links, and those sites had only links, no real content at all. This strategy worked in the beginning, eventually the keyword could be found on first page, the party was over when google updated it’s algorithm. Now let’s look at another keyword, chain pullers, most back links for this keyword are from articles and posts, with very few plain links, now we have really good ranking for this keyword. Old and outdated linking campaign lost to content linking, what’s next? It all boils down to content, so if you create great content, your rank will improve over time, since search engines are another kind of readers. You probably think there are already too many blogs out there, it’s not true, there will never be too many good blogs, take a look at this blog, best smartphone 2011 , I build it as a hobby and kept adding good or mediocre content, you probably think this site won’t rank a all, much to my surprise that the site actually ranks for quite a few keywords. As far as SEO concerned, article marketing with great content is the way to go. If you can build a group of your own blogs, something like grade 70 chains, you will have the power to push any sites up in search engines.

At the end of day all you have to do is to create quality content, publish and share with people, in the mean time advertise your business with your content, your effort will reward you handsomely in the end. Persistence and patience are the keys to success, long term strategy is required to improve anything of significance, be it your business or search rankings, keep doing what we have to do till the end of world. Ezine is one of the best article directories out there, google will index a new article on ezine promptly, and some popular blogs will get your post indexed in minutes, there venues are ideal for promoting your site, let look at some aticles or posts which are published and indexed, say this shock cord, good writing, interesting content, indexed and cached, this article serves it’s purpose well.

We’re not finished yet, please remeber, if you don’t take social media account, you’re lost. For wordpress blogs, I recommend twitter tools, sign up for a twitter account and create a new application, configure your twitter tools prpperly, then every new post on your blog will show up in your twitter page, it’s simple and elegant, it’s a big loss if you don’t use this tool.

what is the most basic linux system with no GUI?

Saturday, October 29th, 2011

what is the most basic Linux System with no GUI? i just want something with bash and web access
er, no its obviously not debian or ubuntu server. i can think of two much simpler distros off the top of my head – slackware minimal and arch.

Puppy and Damn Small Linux are two i’ve used. There are others – http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Minimal_Linux_distros

Any Linux can run without loading X, just adjust the run level. most allow networking without loading the GUI at runlevel 3 – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel

sysBleed Linux – upcoming new Gentoo Based, E17 Operating System HD 720p

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

0 sysBleed Linux   upcoming new Gentoo Based, E17 Operating System HD 720pPreview of sysBleedLinux -
a new “Gentoo based” operating system/distro (bleeding edge system, that also uses E17 trunk(head-bleeding edge) that I am developing.
So in a nutshell the system will always be on the edge with the latest software that are still under development – both the core system and the windowing manager , E17 in this case. So you should expect that it will meet both Linux pros and newcomers need. Reason being the frontend is very intuitive and very easy to use, and yet powerful because this is Gentoo, and it is bleeding. With sysBleed only one simple command and your entire system will be using the current Gentoo and e17 current svn head trunk.
While it looks pretty, don’t let that fool you. This is the real deal!
This OS will use, as you see, connman as the default connection manager: connman is fast and easy, and has an already built-in front-end in e17. No need for Wicd or NetworkManager anymore.
Icons set is Simple by Zorin OS 5 GPL. Thanks Zorin team

There is more to E17 than I show in this video.

Contextual Links or Navigational Links?

Monday, October 24th, 2011

  Short while ago google had changed their ranking algorithm,   in the hope of offering it’s search users better results, google engineers published blog post which indicated there were 11.8% organic search results will be affected, in another word, there are about 12% of google search results are considered low quality by google itself. Google started this change almost one year ago, maybe that’s why some of my ranks dropped out of first 10 pages, but almost all the ranks promoted by articles and blog posts were not affected, some of the keywords even ranked better than before, it’s obvious that linking campaign the old way is the thing of past, probably due to links crammed sites being de-indexed by google.

What is old way of link building any way? There are a lot of SEO company out there are doing this, they put your links on websites which only exist for holding links, the only updates on those websites are the new links, almost all of them are garbage, the name link spamming are just for these sites. Now google algorithm probably will weed out these sites, all the links on those websites will have the same fate.  

A few real world examples will help to explain what I said. It was quite some time ago, I started promote the keyword, Web Sling Shackle, at that time almost every body was doing plain linking campaign, a lot of sites I used had too many links, and those sites had only links, no real content at all. I would give credit where credit is due, this linking strategy worked, eventually the keyword could be found on first page, the party was over when google updated it’s algorithm. Here is another keyword, chain pullers, we put the link in relevant context, with very few plain links, you can imagine how this keyword ranks. Now contextual links win the battle, then what? In fact the only thing matters here is content, so if you create great content, you will attract readers as well as search engines. How do you do it? Writing articles and building blogs, such as this interesting blog, kaiya eve couture , I build it as a hobby and kept adding good or mediocre content, now it can even rank the highly competitive keywords. As we can see, quality blog marketing is much better than plain link building. Now imagine you have your own blog network, something like UTV Winches, you will have the power to push any sites up in search engines.

Remember content is king, you just need to create content, get people to enjoy and share your stuff, in the mean time advertise your business with your content, your effort will reward you handsomely in the end. Whatever you do, you will need persistence and patience, long term strategy is required to improve anything of significance, be it your business or search rankings, now all we have to do is to share our love for creating and sharing nice content and not to worry about the ranking all the time. One of the best articles directories is EzineArticle, google will index a new article on ezine promptly, popular blogs will get your post indexed as soon as you post it, I believe you should see for yourself, binder chains, explains some interesting concepts, nice writing, good content, published on popular site, all these points make it perfect for SEO.

Last but not least, if you don’t take social media account, you’re lost. For wordpress blogs, I recommend twitter tools, sign up for a twitter account and create a new application, link your blog to twitter, then every new post on your blog will show up in your twitter page, it’s simple and elegant, no one should miss this tool out.
