Welcome New Friend!

I put off Search Engine Day when I saw the rumors about Google Base flying around the Net this past Monday evening and Tuesday. Here’s a synopsis of some of the posts to blogs and other coverage that I saw, ending with confirmation on the news from Google’s Blog.
The Search Engine Herald: the news of search: “Google allowed yesterday a limited access to it’s Google Base homepage (Screenshot), and rumors started spreading around as to it’s purpose.” Go to the post to access the screenshot.

Bookmark | Save | Share | EmailArticle of the Day: Web Pro News Tells Where Bloggers Can Find Adsense Tips
It seems that Google has used Weblogs Inc as a case study on how to increase Adsense revenue for Bloggers. Here’s a clip from the Web Pro News article.
“E-business professionals everywhere stood up and took notice when Jason Calacanis’ Weblogs, Inc., bringing in $3000 a day with Google AdSense, was swallowed up by America Online for a reported $25 million. Google noticed the success as well, releasing a case study on Weblogs, Inc.’s success. In the study, Google taps Calacanis’ brain to discover the secret of his AdSense success.

I just got the funniest email.
It was from webmaster@freetraffictip.com.
And that was the comedy - no such email exists. So I thought it warranted a quick post to tell you, if you didn’t already know, that I don’t send unsolited messages - it’s always in reply to something, a specific personal observation, part of a conversation, or because you subscribed to a newsletter/updates/course.

Quick Google News from yesterday - had trouble posting then…
Clip ==>”Now, he is discussing the latest update, one in the ongoing series of mini-updates that the search engine performs from time to time. At one time Google could do one big update of everything, but the search engine has had to switch to the more frequent, smaller updates it performs now.
Bookmark | Save | Share | EmailSearch Engine Day :: Concept : Is It All About the Links?
Update 03.25.06. I switched the order of the first and last posts of the day so you can follow the linking discussion more easily. - Tinu
It’s been a while since I did a Search Engine Day that was constructed around answering a question or proposing a solution. So today, much of our discussion is going to be focused around linking.
Bookmark | Save | Share | EmailSearch Engine Day :: What If You Had More Control Over Your Backlinks?
If the manual process of reciprocal links to get backlinks, or incoming links, seemed a bit grueling to you, and you’re curious about why I say I rarely do so, you’ll want to read this post, and listen to the podcast that will follow later today/tomorrow.
Think about this: what if you could get either anchor links (the kind that use your keywords), or raw links, for the keyword phrases you most desire, on pages that are related to your site’s topic?
Bookmark | Save | Share | EmailSearch Engine Day :: Traditional Linking Methods
Let’s have a run down of some of the traditional ways of link building and whether they are worthwhile - or even advisable - to use.
Should You Buy Links?
Bookmark | Save | Share | EmailSearch Engine Day :: Are Some Links Better?
And, for that matter, should you focus on sheer quantity of links to your site, or the quality of those links?
For our first piece of evidence, let’s ask Google.
Bookmark | Save | Share | EmailSearch Engine Day :: So How Important Is Linking Anyway?
A post I made about linking awaaaays back in July 2004 referenced an answer to a similiar question in Google Answers. The short answer was that if you’re getting linked a certain way or from a certain type of page, it may be THE most important thing. You could almost screw everything else up, but if you got enough of the right type of links, you might just come out okay in the end.
I’m in partial agreement with that, but only from the perspective that if you are able to get 100,000 links that contain your desired keywords or are from a related page, that aren’t reciprocal, then sugar, you’ve got it made in the shade.

I had a nap, but I have some prep work to do for a couple of new clients, so I’m back up for a few hours.
I saw this in the Ask Yahoo section and it made me giggle - thought I’d share it with you…
