Welcome New Friend!

They Say –> “We have organized our listing of directories by how “powerful” they are, so that you can easily find the correct business directory sites to submit your URL. We also provide you with a third and forth tier directory sites, which are smaller in size but still provide quality for your web site to be listed within. Some of these sites require a payment and some have a FREE submission option, so we’ve included that information as well.”
I say ==> This is a great resource. Good one for the bookmarks because it will get you one way links back to your site that search engine spiders will actually follow. Of course, you should also work on getting yourself tons of link backs you can control using RSS - used correctly you can leverage the power of both together to help you gain or keep a legitimate high search engine rank.

Doesn’t get the tool of the day honor, but only because it isn’t directly related to getting, measuring, or maintaining your traffic. It’s still a really important tool though.
If you’re looking to get people to keep coming back to your site, you’ve got to get them on there first. We’ve all clicked away from a site just because it took too long to load. Almost every change I make to my site has to do with either converting more sales or loading pages faster. In a fight between a beatuiful page that takes 30 seconds to load, and a just-decent one that takes 15 seconds, guess who wins?

Delish. Of the three tools on this page, my favorite toy to play with is the Link Popularity Check, but that’s probably because I’m a vain … oh look. It’s my reflection.
While I’m beholding this marvelous site, have a try comparing your link popularity to that of other sites in your industry. What sets this checker apart is the fact that it’s both real time, and in context - as a relative tool, it gives you a much better idea of where the kind of position you need to put your site in, in order to beat that rival site.

Folks keep writing to ask how I am… so instead of answering about 30 emails right away, I’m just going to sneeze on the screen for a few minutes. 
I’m in great spirits, as is the norm, just damn tired of blowing my nose every 14 seconds and not being able to sleep laying down without bursting into a cough spasm. I talked to a couple of people yesterday, and I hope you were greatly entertained by my horrible sqeaky voice. Maybe I’ll do an audio post for our mutual amusement… First my back acts up and now this flu - could my body be trying to tell me something?

Maybe if you won’t listen to me, you’ll listen to Wendy over at About.com. She says that instead of shooting to get top rankings for your keywords, that perhaps you should target more focused keywords that are more appropriate to your site.

News from Search Engine Guide :: Web Analytics is Google’s Latest Acquisition
And why would they do that? Jennifer, the editor at Search Engine Guide says:
“The most obvious speculation as to why Google would make this purchase is that they are looking to integrate Urchin’s tools into their pay-per-click program to help users better track and measure the success of their campaigns. With Yahoo! already offering a competing pay-per-click product and Microsoft’s in development, the stakes of the paid search game are being raised.”

What a neat feature… if you have search results showing up at your site, you can create a button that can be added to a9’s search engine page, and other people in ture, can use your button. Interesting but as yet untested by me.
“Just because you create a button doesn’t mean that users will automatically get them, of course. They’ll have to use the page above to find options, then choose to add them. And that may happen only if you’ve created the search and submitted it. How to create and submit is covered in the help documents for OpenSearch.”

Still fighting off the flu, so we’re going to have an appended version of Search Engine Tuesdays today. There won’t be an audio tip because I can barely speak… I sound like Ms. Piggy would after smoking three packs of cigarettes in five minutes.
Not. Cute.

The Yahoo site of the day is YahooSearchRankings.com . Though still in testing, its free online SEO tool will check your site ranking in Yahoo.
Occasionally I find it doesn’t work, but of course, as with anything in testing or Beta mode, this is to be expected. Most of the time running your query again will give you the results you were looking for.
