SEO For The Common Webmaster

I just got done working on my new directory. I am hoping to build it up to be one of the best directories on the Internet. I can not do that without help. If you wish to add your site, please visit my Free Directory and submit to the correct category.

I have worked hard to get the right look and load the script. I have never loaded my own script with using an installer and after a few bugs, I got it all up and running. This is a great way for people to build back links for your blog or website. I also offer featured links for only $5. If you have any interest adverting on the sidebar of the directory, please use the contact form on the directory to contact me.

Thanks for being of reader of my blog and I hope you all enjoy the free directory.

Update: Due to spammers, I am now requiring a reciprocal link or a paid review. This is unfortunate for those who appreciate a free directory. However, as with the problems with my blogs, spammers are runing it for everyone.

Google offers some of the best webmaster tools in the business. Without a doubt, they are the leader when it comes to Internet search and webmaster related stuff. However, wake up webmasters, Google is not a God.

I am a member at many webmaster forums and I am always seeing threads started asking of this or that is allowed by Google. Some stuff is related directly to Google’s services like Adsense and Adwords. However, many times webmasters are asking what they can or can not do on their own site. You, the webmaster, own the site! Google may lower your search rankings but with the right marketing and advertising, that will not mean the end of your website.

Look at John Chow’s blog. He does not even rank for the words “John Chow.” His blog is still one of the most profitable on the Internet. I am not saying you should not try to rank high on Google. I am not saying you should say, “FU Google.” What I am trying to say is that your site should be built for you and your readers, not for Google. You should not spend your whole time worrying rather anything you say or do is going to have you removed from Google.

Truth be told, they need us as much as we need them. Their rules are generally fair and try to prevent spam sites from reaching the top. If you are an ethical webmaster, there should never be a problem. If you are trying dishonest tricks to beat out the competition, you may get caught.

Be the best webmaster you can and do all the honest link building and advertising you can and your website will be successful. Above all, remember, Google is not a God!

In previous posts, I have spoke of how important it is to build quality back links. In order for the links to be counted in both PR and SERPs, they need to be dofollow. However, it is sometimes hard to find dofollow links related to your website.This job has gotten a little easier.

I recently found this great Dofollow Directory that lists only sites that allow comments and that offer dofollow links. This is something I have personally been looking for and it is a great asset to webmasters everywhere. I tried on this blog to include a small list of dofollow blogs but their directory does a much better job of including many blogs and sites to leave comments on.

Unlike many dofollow list you find on webmaster forums, this directory allows the webs owner to Submit Dofollow Blogs. This means that these are sites that want and welcome comments and offer a quality link in exchange for a good comment. This saves lots of time because you will be commenting on related sites that want your comments.

The directory offers either free or paid submission and has several categories to cover all ranges of topics. Submitting is easy and is a great way to improve traffic for your dofollow blog. I suggest you look at the links I provided and find some great sites to submit your comments today.

I am not a big fan of most social bookmarking sites. I do like like a couple of community sites. I joined MyBlogLog.com a while back but have not done much with it. As you can see in my sidebar, I decided to give it a better try. I have added the widget and I have updated my profile. It is a great way to interact with other in the same niche and also to drive some traffic to your site. The main reason I use it is that it is fun. I am beginning to find some people that I interact with that share many of the same interest as I do.

It is easy to join and if you are a member of Yahoo, you can use the same log-in information and add all your blogs to the site. You can also link to all your other social sites with ease. I have had problems verifying my blogs because they do not seem to pick up my blog post to verify it. I am going to try again today to see if it works.

If you enjoying reading my blogs, please bookmark the site and subscribe to the feeds. I have provided easy links to all book marking sites and a subscribe button on top for easy RSS subscribing. Please also leave comments if you have something to add to any of my posts. It is a great way to influence what I write and also to add a link back to your site for others to visit. Please do not spam because that will be removed.
