One of the sessions at Danny Sullivan’s Advanced SMX show involved a panel of experts all sharing one “secret tactic” or other helpful search tip that they might use, and would recommend.

Someone sent me a link to this post, and I found it extremely interesting. According to the article, Google is following and factoring “no followed” links for ranking purposes.

Have you ever seen anyone tie up all three available search slots at the top of Google in the local (Google Maps) results? I hadn’t either… If you search for Portland internet consulting firm on Google, you’ll see my friend Charlie Stanley of Fierce Thought ranking #1, #2 and #3 completely dominating all three Google local maps results. |

At the 2006 Las Vegas Webmaster World I stood up and asked Matt Cutts from Google a question that actually got applause from he crowd.

Sitting at a table in the bar after a recent SEMpdx meeting, a member (Garry Egan) stated that he could get a site indexed by all three search engines in 36 hours, and even ranking for a non-competitive term or two. |
