Do You Need A Search Engine Ranking Boost?

My how the time passed quickly, it’s been about a fortnight since I got home and posted and since then not a thing. I have been promoting a CPA offer and was so surprised by my results that I got carried away into another one :) Anyway, that is a story for another day.

So I have spoken many times about improving rankings and pagerank with linking, so you should know how important building backlinks is. If you missed my previous articles you can catch up on them … Traffic TipsTutorials.

I use a lot of tools that save me time. I love them all, but I have two favourites. One I will be discussing in the next few days, it is wordpress related, but the other one has just opened up some more spots, so I thought I’d better let you know now.

So, Brute Force SEO, by Peter Drew, is a nift piece of work. It creates accounts for you across 5 sites. It automatically posts content to those sites, using your keywords and money site of course, links them together and then submits the urls to the social bookmarking sites as well as the rss submission sites. You can do all of these things or just one. You can also submit your articles to the article directories.

ALL from just ONE easy to use interface.

Peter’s new twitter software is included and to be honest I wasn’t sure about this to start with, but 500 friends in 24 hrs with a brand new account proved me wrong.

You also get a social site account creator that is separate and can create accounts for you in about 40 (I have not counted) social sites including video sites, article sites and rss submission sites.

Full manuals are given along with access to a fabulous forum, where people are more than happy to share their tips and help you out.

I signed up on launch for this back in October 2008. That was version 1. something. We are now on version 3. something as Peter is dedicated to keeping this software up to date.

The number of backlinks that are created to and linkjuice passed on to your money site is unbelieveable considering you just sit drinking tea or whatever entering captchas.

If you have any questions about this software before you purchase, please list them below, but remember spots will be limited as usual. There is also a 7 day $1 trial, so nothing to loose to try it out :)

Important Google Adsense Changes

If you are a part of google adsense you should have received an e-mail today about changes to adsense that need to be reflected in your privacy policy.

They are calling it Interest-based advertising and this is what the e-mail said about it …

Interest-based advertising will allow advertisers to display ads based on a user’s previous interactions with them, such as visits to advertiser website and also to reach users based on their interests (e.g. “sports enthusiast”).  To develop interest categories, we will recognise the types of web pages that users visit throughout the Google content network.  As an example, if they visit a number of sports pages, we will add them to the “sports enthusiast” interest category.  To learn more about your associated account settings, please visit the AdSense Help Centre.

It should help with your adverts being more targetted to the specific searcher, which can’t be a bad thing, but it does sound a bit like behavioral targetting, which I am not sure I 100% agree with.

The e-mail also says that you must update your privacy policy to reflect the use of this new advertising but the 8th April 2009. This does not give people a lot of time (under 4 weeks), especially if they have 100 sites or more. Google also say in the e-mail that because of different laws over the world they cannot help you with the wording of the privacy policy, making it even harder to ensure you have it right.

If you know what a privacy policy should say about this, please leave a comment for others below :)

I personally do not use adsense on any of my sites at the moment as I am seeing higher returns from affiliate marketing. In my testing I found that the less options, the better the conversions on what you want them to do, but you should be testing this on your own sites.

Regardless, you should still have at least a privacy policy. A terms of use or a terms and conditions is also a good idea. Saying that, I need to get mine up .. lol

Have a good weekend and we’ll catch up next week.

Where Has BlogRush.com Gone?

I just noticed today that my blogrush.com widget was blank. I looked up their site and lo and behold it is blank too.

Sure enough when I did a search on Google they had a cached page, thankfully, saying that they were shutting down because of various issues including security risks andnot being able to patrol the quality of the sites. The page was cached on 6 Dec 2008, soless than a week ago, but no idea how long the page was up for saying that they were going to shut down.

I would of thought the least they could do was to send an e-mail to all members letting them know. I mean how often do you go and look at websites that you have widgets for. What if an advertiser was to do this to you with no warning. I think there would be a lot of flung mud.

If you want more info about it you can read what John Reese had to say on his blog, here. His post is dated the end of October, shows how much attention I paid to my own sidebar … lol

A guy named Manuel Viloria also wrote an interesting post about it, here.

Anyway, they are closed, so I want to replace my widget with another. I was thinking of blogcatalog.com, what do you think? What ‘community’ widgets do you have on your blogs? Let me know by posting a comment below.
