I got an email a few weeks ago from someone wanting to advertise on Idea Queen. I was actually pretty excited about this, because I already know what certain pages are worth and here was someone contacting ME to discuss pricing.
I think I’m a pretty fair person, but I also know what I can get [...]
Yahoo SEO Conclusion
Well, after my first few posts on this topic I really haven’t done a whole lot with it since. Just as I suspected, there really is no “magic formula” or special trick that’s going to boost you right up to the top of results in Yahoo. Just like Google, it takes time and hard work. [...]
Monday, January 21st, 2008Recommended Affiliate Provider
A long time ago I created an entire section at my work at home mom site on affiliate marketing. I did reviews on a number of different affiliate programs and providers. I researched both pay per click and pay per lead as well as pay per sale so I could create this section. Of course, the best way [...]
Monday, January 21st, 2008How to Get Banned on Google
The other day a topic was brought up on a group I’m on. The poster asked how to submit to Yahoo for free. Most of us involved in SEO know that you do pretty much nothing, except for getting your link on other sites. Search engines use spiders to crawl pages to index, and it’s [...]
Monday, January 21st, 2008Google and PR Becoming Less Relevant?
While Kara has been focusing on Yahoo, I’ve been focusing on Google. I’ve been focusing on Google because recently I was slapped by a PR wipe-out. Like that phrase? Me too … I “stole” it from a “mentor” of sorts of mine, Lynn Terry. I’m finding more and more every day that I was clearly [...]
Friday, January 18th, 2008Working In Between Cleaning
Today is one of those days where house comes first, and business is squeezed in on breaks. Generally cleaning house is done on breaks from the computer….and the house is proving that right now.
I shouldn’t say it’s THAT bad. I could barely live with the shape it’s in, but company is coming this weekend so [...]
Blogs, Keywords, and Yahoo SEO
I was doing research again yesterday on my Yahoo SEO project, and noted how much of the top results are big sites with lots and lots of pages/blog posts. My largest site looks itty-bitty next to these sites. It’s not that I’m not trying – heck no, I post to my blog almost every day [...]
Monday, January 14th, 2008What Kind of Coffee Girl are You?
Monday Nite Blog Thing
You Are a Cappuccino
You’re fun, outgoing, and you love to try anything new.
However, you tend to have strong opinions on what you like.
You are a total girly girly at heart – and prefer your coffee with good conversation.
You’re the type that seems complex to outsiders, but in reality, you are easy to [...]
Web Design Effects SEO?
So maybe I already knew this to a certain extent. I know that spiders read your code from top to bottom, so whatever is in your code first is read first. I also know how header tags (like <h1>) effect rankings and can give a better appearance to your overall design.
But what I did not [...]
SEO for Yahoo?
SEO (search engine optimization) use to be an easy game. Back when the major search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN, and AOL) all pulled their search results from Google. You only had to worry about ranking in one and you ranked in all. It was also a whole lot easier to rank quickly with a few [...]
