Seo Home blog

My friend just IM me this whilst talking about tomorrow.. Yep is the 14th..

 I think the day should be banned. It just rubs it in for the terminally single

So regarding seo have you covered and bases for the “terminally single”

seo-singles.com ? 

single-beds.com ?

i-am-alone.com ?

 I wonder just how many search will contain “-valentines ”

So from a seo point of view you may wish to target “-valentines” in the likes of adwords etc…

Enjoy the day : )

EDIT:

ADDED QUOTE:

I have actually contemplated downgrading my bed to give me more room

At last…

The hangover cure has come about as of yesterday for (some of) us web site owners / seo and webmasters (in general)

Yep.. The loss of xmas site traffic is on its way back…

Please note this is a hangover cure for the site(s) I monitor but w00t.. Its good to see the traffic and $$$$ coming back…

Sadly I haven’t got any stats on the proportion sites xmas related vs not…

Well…. My experiences so far with adding xmas sections to site especially UK targeted is that no one seems to be surfing in the subject area I cover, pre xmas oh yes but during nop.. I’ve read reports that on xmas day and boxing day that “some” sites have/had massive traffic manily with shopping bargins and kids stuff…

hmm..

Anyway… All the best for the new year and hope everyones traffic grows : )

Each year the traffic drops in many theme’s and this year is no exception..

Summer 2007 in the uk has had massive effects on traffic levels due to the following: (imho)

• The rain
  This is a 50/50 as hot sunny days in the uk seem to send more traffic but with the flooding 1,000’s of people have no access to water let alone the net..
• Harry Potter…
  omg the affect on non kids/book/harry potter sites was pretty big in the last week or two.. Not only the book but the film double trouble..
• Forecast..
  Now I’ve mentioned rain but so many UK’ers that would holiday in the uk have been going aboard… Since the floods many holidays have gone up in price and move Hol’s have been sold compared with last yeh…

Basically the niche’s I work in are not weather,harry potter,forecasting, flooding, kids or holidays… Of course all these theme’s “should” of seen a increase and  not a loss..

Well it seem like another PR update…

 odd…

 I seeing an update on this blog of no deep links up to december ? ..

 This update isn’t imho making sense on the site so i’m not going to bother commenting on the flow here..

Other sites have had a PR update too.. some up some down .. some odd… (most odd) and some to be expected..

This update imho looks like a freshness PR bonus.. (fresh link are counting a lot)

What else…

Well …

Google bombing algo change…

The likes of “lair” (was tony bliar at no1 ) and “miserable failure” (was bush at no1) no longer at the top!!!

matt cutts has posted regarding this to confirm that this will only effect bombed sites and not and overall algo change..

Serps are moving none stop and as matt said which I post about just over a week ago that the data refresh is set to 1-2 days…

Watching the serps is crazy..

More to come tomorrow..

Just read this great post started by tedster over at wmw forums

Here a few quote from what he’s writen in regards to missconceptions (and a drinking quote from George Orwell)

1. Page Rank is not Ranking

2. Site has no technical definition

3. Page has no technical definition

Really like this one.. Such a bad habit (I always say tag tut tut )

4. alt is an attribute, and not a tag

5. title is either an attribute or an element

And so on …

 Bit of fun on a Monday morning ..

Read the rest here:

Just seen this on a mate PC..

 Got him to take this screen shot..  Funny imho …

 Its so bad for user experience imho..

I clicked on the add to see what ask was going to off me in regards to msn and the same ebay ad is on both ask and google.. The serps both have msn at the top so whats the point ???

Is ask just paying something like 0.000000001p per click for these crazy terms..

 Any way here the screen shot:

Spotted over at DP
