Show Me Your Backlinks

January 12, 2006

All right the cat’s out of the bag everybody knows about and is using WebGuerilla’s excellent backlink tool the tattler. It works off of Yahoo’s Site Explorer data and lets you dump it into a spreadsheet. I also like to mix it with Aaron Wall’s Backlink Analyzer to look at anchor text.

Legos and Link Building

January 5, 2006

Not sure why when people build things out of legos it works really well for getting inbound links. But if you got something you didn’t want for the holidays you may want to visit Toys R Us and exchange it for a case of legos.

December 12, 2005

I’ve been playing with Squidoo today, and here my take on how to get the most use out of it. It’s not meant to be a replacement for blogging in any way. I think the best way to think of Squidoo is as an elevator pitch. Put your ideas out there and convince people you’re [...]

December 8, 2005

I talked about the time costs of staying constantly connected however to be fair I think I should also mention the opposing side.

Getting the Breast Links

December 7, 2005

Now I’ve studied this picture very carefully and can say with 100% certainty that it is definitely a picture of some kind of network hardware connector stuff. Oh and it’s also a picture of someone’s bra. But the point of this post is again thinking outside of the box to get links. Someone had the [...]

Link Monkey it’s Time to Evolve

November 9, 2005

If you’ve been following any of the Google Jagger update threads on any of the search engine forums some of the common things you’ll hear is “reciprocal linking is dead“, or “I’m dropping all of my reciprocal link pages“.
While this type of knee jerk reaction is understandable, I feel it’s misguided. Reciprocal linking isn’t dead, [...]

Side Effects of a DMOZ listing

November 2, 2005

Much has been said about having a listing in DMOZ, whether it’s important or not, whether it’s necessary, or how much time and effort it’s worth to get in. I was reviewing a potential clients site and I suspect the DMOZ listing may actually be doing them more harm than good.

August 21, 2005

If you write a blog or read them regularly chances are you come across the term permalink. A permalink is supposed to do two things:

First it establishes a cool URI (see Cool URI’s don’t change).

Review of Text Link Advertising Services

June 27, 2005

A few weeks ago Nick over on Threadwatch blogged about people selling text link advertising on Ebay, always on the lookout for good links especially on the cheap, I gave it a shot.

Black Hat Bloggers

June 27, 2005

According to a Boston.com article it seems that some companies are paying bloggers to go out and make comments across the blogosphere.
