I did my masters in IT and now I have started learning Search Engine Optimization on my own. I know a little bit about SEO. But I want to master it by all means.

Do a search for Brad Calles "SEO made easy", it is a free ebook. It is a great e book that explains the basics of SEO. There are some outdated methods for getting links, but the basics still apply and always will when it comes to SEO.

As an IT pro, you have to remember that we are dealing with computers, they work by running a program or algo that dictates what it does and how it does it, and Google is no different. Google does not wake up mad and treat your site bad, it does not prefer one color site over another, it just runs it’s program and ranks sites accordingly.

I can tell you this up front, 80% of top rankings is based on incoming links. the Title of each page plays a good portion of onpage, and properly anchored links from related "PAGES" not sites is what makes up the mass majority of SEO.

a link to the website… here is the message it sends her… "    I just sent you a really cool Emoticon. To view click here www.emoticoncentral.com/m35254-153 (475.4,35254,0) " wierd right? do you think theres any sort of loophole to get out of it?

hey

?A SPIM message looks just like any other IM conversation with a link it in and will be from someone on your buddy list. DO NOT click the links unless you were expecting it or verified with you sender that they intentionally meant to send it to you.

I already know backlink.com Let me know what you recommend.I want to buy links. What is the cheapest Search Engine Optimization company?

I suggest you to try some Dofollow blog commenting to get good Backlinks. I found a good dofollow blog commenting service. Not many but just 30 links you can buy from them. But all will be good quality backlinks to your site. I think the price is not too high.

If you get a 401 error make sure your server/ web host supports mod rewrite rules and you have your .htaccess file in the main directory.

No you don’t
But you have to at least have beaten or caught Palika to do this.

Hope this helped

Hello, I have a website and write about products from amazon. Can I just use their pictures and upload them to my web space as long as I mention "source: amazon.com"?

Is there any copyright issue? If so, would it be enough to link the pics to amazon’s affiliate program? Can I use them then?
And how about, if I partake in the affiliate program and link the pics?

It’s called copyright infringement.
You are not supposed to copy other sites not matter if that’s Amazon or some random site.

If you have joined Amazon’s affiliate program then you read their affiliate policies they have clearly mentioned what to use what not to use.

hope this helps

Hi,

Can someone tell me if an affiliate which has several domains but the same content, will affect any SEO rankings? I have found some products for example Wooden Garden Furniture on affiliate sites, and some of the domain names are not keywords I would search for my product on, i would expect to find other stuff such as quilts and labels. I’m pretty new to this affiliate stuff, and currently using an agency but I don’t know if this is standard practice. Any practical advice would be much appreciated

Sure, substantially duplicate content may affect some websites’ ability to rank highly for certain keywords. Speaking only in terms of Google, and speaking hypothetically, here’s an example.

Let’s say that you are promoting an affiliate product, and you have a standard description that is supplied by the vendor / affiliate network. You may use this description (which usually ends up being the web page’s content or text), but there’ll likely be hundreds or thousands of other people using the exact same content as you are. While the duplicate content does work against you in a way because it’s not unique, that’s hardly the only ‘problem’ you’ll encounter if you’re trying to obtain favorable search engine rankings for your affiliate page.

Google uses hundreds of ’signals’ (ranking factors) to determine the ranking of a web page for a specific keyword query. If the affiliate product description is a good match for a specific query, Google will show the affiliate page of the website they determine to be the most relevant for the query based on all of their ranking factors at the top of their results. In other words, Google doesn’t rely on a page’s content alone (affiliate product description) to determine where a web-page ranks.

While adding unique content to your affiliate product description may help, the bigger picture is that if you have an established (older), trusted (has Google Page Rank) domain, you have a better chance of receiving higher placement for queries that match the affiliate product description. On the flip side, if you have a brand-new website that has no trust with Google (Page Rank), you’re not going to get very far using only significantly duplicate content.

Bottom line: if you have a brand-new website, and especially if you’re using a cookie-cutter affiliate website that is replicated all over the internet, or just basing your website on affiliate product descriptions, you’re facing an almost insurmountable challenge to get good search engine rankings and ultimately traffic. The best way to make money and get traffic and better rankings, as I’ve found anyway, is to limit the use of ready-made websites and generic product descriptions and instead add affiliate links into unique, but relevant content on your own website. Personally, I use Wordpress blogs for my niche marketing websites, and they work wonderfully. I have duplicate content for some Amazon products, but I add a lot of unique content that allows me to grab search engine traffic and then I can direct interested visitors to my affiliate link.

If you have a high page-rank website that is well trusted and loved by Google, you probably can get away with slapping up a bunch of duplicate content and maybe do ok (however, Google recently changed how they rank pages for long-tail keywords… so who knows at this point — search for ‘Google may day update’ for more info on that), but you’re not likely in that scenario. If you want the best chance at success, though, you’re going to need unique content on your site, and a lot of it.

– Disclaimer –
Some of what I said above is over-simplified and may not be well explained. It should, however, give you some insight into how duplicate content can affect you, and the all-around problems arising out of relying only on duplicate content to compete in search engines.

Looks like that’ll be more than fine, at least for the two games you suggested

An unemployed former soldier ran for US Senate in the Democratic primary and won with 60% of the vote. According to his own statements, he used his own money (his last $10000) to register for the primary. He didn’t do any campaigning, put out any posters or signs, and never attended any of the debates. Yet, he still won. The Democratic party asked him to drop out of the race so they could appoint their own candidate but he has refused. Now the Democratic party is looking for legal loopholes to throw him out of the race.

Last night, on the liberal MSNBC, Keith Olbermann accused Senator Jim DeMint of planting the candidate in the race despite absolutely no evidence.

"A few post-scripts" as Olbermann says, the Democratic party in SC didn’t complain about any of these candidates in the months before the election. The complaints started after the candidates either won or came much closer to winning than Democrats expected.

Yes, the Democrat party in SC, and elsewhere, is very desperate, and fearful of November elections. The links demonstrate liberal racism, arrogance, and corruption. Voting irregularities only seem to matter to them when the vote does not go their way. The socialist Dems are an infection that must be removed if the US is to survive. November 2010 has to begin the cure.
