Okay so lets say you have launched a new site or directory or whatever and you need to get your alexa up fast to get more webmasters coming ot your site ya know to get to know the site better and what not do this.

Make several banners for your site big or small don’t matter and buy banner spots on high traffic sites with banners linked from your site that will send one hit to your site whenever the high traffic site is loaded, instantly giving toy start up traffic!

they dont have to visit your site for it to count once the banner loads its enough!

Non-Hosted Media considered spam?

online-videos-from-home-videos-to-premium-internet-television-content-veoh-video-network_1190924466296.pngThis is an interesting topic, if you are using videos and/or images hosted on other sites as a the main topic on your site as if your site revolves around media hosted on other sites, not only duplicate content but its considered spam as well, if you are using a video from youtube named “idiot jumps off” obviously you’ll name the page its on the title will be something similar which leads you to rank for the same keyword based on more factors you might even take overpic_youtubelogo_123×63.gif youtube’s ranking on google (almost impossible) but still google rather be safe then sorry.

This post is targetted towards funny jokes,mfa video,funny pictures sites that take media from other sites to save on bandwidth.

My take on no-follow tags.

I read this post on shoemoney and i just wanted to say that for all internal links i use d0-follow tags, i’ve never removed the no-follow tag for any external links such as on comments..etc

This blog has alot of authority and i have no intention to share it with anyone…just yet.

DMOZ in and out of google,big deal?

Comment (1)By Ahson Rafiq in News, SEO on 27th September 2007

Dave reported that dmoz was out of google a few days ago now its back in, i wonder whats going on i doubt its because of the dupe found on aol servers, it may just be a back up and c’mon google gave it authority it won’t take it away just like that….would it?

Makes me question the whole “authority” that google assigns to sites.

Adsense and iPhone…ah crap…

Comment (1)By Ahson Rafiq in SEO on 27th September 2007

google-plugs-google-web-toolkit-for-iphone_1190908152843.pngI simply hate the fact that iPhone can be so good for the normal consumer and can suck so unbelievably for webmasters, when the guys over at apple were making the iPhone with all the pinching and poking did they not realize that these consumers may be horny and maybe browsing a MFA video site thats borderline adult themed and these users might pinch their way into the webmaster’s demise?

The answer is no, they didn’t think about that at all, while having several ad campaigns at google, they should’ve thought that the iphone wouldve reeked havoc on adsense publishers, the pinching and poking is very addictive (oh yeaaa) and people do it so much that the end up clicking several ads….and i end up getting warnings from adsense.

Live and learn i guess im disabling the browser agent “iphone” for most of my sites later this evening…

What not to do while making MFAs.

Comments (0)By Ahson Rafiq in Marketing, SEO on 27th September 2007

Well everyone knows google hates mfas but hey its quick cash everybody loves fast money and specially if its this legal!

Now spamming is wrong, im all for that but aggregating useful content in a tasteful manner should not be considered spam by any level, its just the best info in one place, nothing more nothing less, spamming is more like copying the content without crediting its owners and taking over someone else’s rankings.

Now i’ve been through my “MFA crazy” phase where i made over 60 mfa sites of literally all kinds (info, recipes,videos..etc) now i’ve already discussed that backlinks help a site (mfa) get indexed more faster and more effectively but if you are using Google analytics and Adsense together you better be careful because believe it or not 99% of the sites that had analytics on them got de-indexed in less then a week after they started earning form adsense whereas others kept on going as they were.

My take on this is that Analytics and Adsense has to be connected somehow on the backend, i mean its the only proof they have that the site is MFA, since all the traffic stats are being sent to them and they already have access to our earning reports, it becomes drastically easy for them to figure out that the site is Made For Adsense….pretty weird theory but it sure as hell makes sense to me.

Heres my list of DON’Ts while making MFAs..

  1. No Analytics
  2. Max of one stat counter service in the code
  3. Image based ads if your template gives it away.
  4. Proper meta kw/desc before launch.
  5. Make sure your content/topics on the sites are different (design does not matter)

Updates & I’m one of the top bloggers under 21!

Okay the last few days were b.r.u.t.a.l
too much moving and i just arrived…
So here we go

For starters i made an adwords campaign around 3 days ago and they are still not active, not sure why it says active but no impressions or clicks, so im gonna contact them later about it i don’t want another company to hate this month…

And people at WP are getting ready for WP 2.3, im sure it’s gonna have some nice goodies for me to overuse :D
College started and its brutal too, i have alot to catch up on so i’m gonna use adwords rather then do SMM or backlink work, yea i know its the easy way out but its the equivalent of what i do myself (for free) hah.

I’m also named one of the top bloggers under 21!!
Now that its only 3 hours before college ill be bugging off..
