In my last post, I reported about the PageRank roller coaster. Popular and high-profile web sites went from being in the upper echelon of the PageRank hierarchy to the bottom half. Within a few days, however, many web sites saw their PageRanks restored to their previous glory, or at least saw their diminished PageRanks climb […]
Imagine my surprise when Darren Rowse of Problogger reported that his web site went from PR6 to PR4. And it wasn’t only him, many other prominent blogs have also experienced PageRank drops.
There have been many theories and speculations on why such a thing happened. Here are some of the mor prominent ones I’ve read:
1. Selling […]
When people design web sites, we often most usually think about the aesthetics. As long as it looks good, frankly, I don’t care what goes on the left and right parts of the layout. However, if you plan to optimize your web site completely and would want it to be search engine friendly, there’s actually […]
I’ve seen quite a lot of disagreement on whether header tags actually help optimize web pages. I understand the skepticism, but testing it, I’ve found out that the text inside H1 header tags is displayed by the search engines.

Some months ago, I wrote an article a month for a client and had them submitted to 1000 article directories and PR distribution sites. Was it effective? I think only my client would know exactly. However, as an observation, I noticed it took around 1-2 months a lot of times, for some of the directories […]
Selling links — it’s one of the most common ways to earn revenue from web sites. And I don’t see why not. You see, not all web site models could earn a decent supplemental (or full-time if you’re as lucky as Shoemoney) income from Google Adsense or something similar like YPN. There are those who […]
I’ve come across this same question in many web master forums I’m a member of. I will address the issue here for future reference. So, does changing one’s host affects one’s ranking in the SERPs? The answer depends on the situation. For example, are you really just moving to a new host and not changing […]
With regards to achieving visibility, on-site SEO is the prime factor. Tinker with the title tags, the headings, keyword density, layout of the pages, etcetera. PageRank, however, is a game of links and more links. Now, with regards to links, one might wonder if the age of the link has anything to do with its […]
For a long time now, I’ve tried building backlinks by commenting on popular blogs with high PageRank. I was taught it’s a good way to increase link count for Google. However, little did I know that all my efforts are in vain! There are blogs using the repugnant (at least for those trying to honestly […]
Not too many people know what the Google sandbox is, or at least not too many people who aren’t involved in any way with SEO. And among those who do know about it, not all believe in its existence. So what is the Google sandbox?
