Search Engine Optimisation

Search Engine Optimisation, including search engine optimisation in my blog, any mentions of search engine optimisation in my family tree and search engine optimisation in Folkestone.

Blog / forum etc:

Look out linkers to excellent 80s videos, you're getting suckered. Insurancemovies.com has gathered together a load of free youtube content - the idea is you link to it (and if you just copied the URL or used the default title that it has on del.icio.us and you'll probably keep the word "Insurance" in the link text too), then when the site has enough links to it don't be surprised when the videos are replaced with insurance ads :-(

I've seen this same content come up a few different times, at a few different URLS, including insuranceandnews.com that popbitch linked to this week, doh! It's the new referer spam and a clever new Black Hat SEO thing, please look out for it. Next time you bookmark or link to another collection of '80s music videos, you could be making the web a bit more rubbish.

Thankyou for listening, as a reward, here is an Bon Jovi video:

Not a ploy at all

They link inwards, looking through the blog archives for previous mentions of that topic... in this instance it can't find anything, but next time I mention search engine optimisation these messages will come up too... not very handy in this case, let's Google...

There's not a lot to this SEO lark really, as Pid recently pointed out a lot of it is common sense disguised by mumbo-jumbo... but then I shouldn't say that as the record producer lot are paying me to get their ratings up.

Basically, if you have relevant links from well thought of sites to your site, then your ranking is good. It's much easier to see a difference on more obscure phrases, I can remember when I was the only result for Goldie Lookin' Chain tickets but now look at it...

Oh and the camera, it was just something I spotted a while back, went to find it again as a mate was on about setting up a wireless camera...
