I wrote a few weeks ago on SEMpdx about the fact that if you searched for a domain name on Network Solutions, and then didn’t buy it that moment for their extremely high price, that you cannot go register it elsewhere, because they basically lock it up.

This is a 15 minute review of all of my SEO fundamentals as they apply to a handwriting analysis / expert witness website including my recommendation for a site conversion to WordPress.

While waiting for the Revver video to go live, here’s a flash version

There’s apparently a bug in Google PageRank at this very moment, causing a PR0 to appear for many pages from many geographic locations, and I had a brief moment of panic.

I just happened to notice that one of my sites was a PR0 – That was odd, so I checked another, and another, 5 domains, all PR0. Then I looked at my blog, and it too had been knocked down to a zero. Oh no, my link juice, all gone!

About a month ago I decided to try a new link building tool called Linkvana, and I wrote about it on my blog.

Now, about 30 days later, I AM still impressed. I HAVE seen ranking improvements, spidering frequency HAS improved, and all can be traced directly related to our LinkVana use, in my opinion.

This sounds to me like a great thing, being able to bypass all of the bureaucracy involved in bringing fast high speed wireless to rural areas with land lines.

There’s a reason we in the United States are NOT the worlds leader in high speed internet, much less wireless, and in my opinion, it has to do with payola, and not a lack of technology.

This site is not exactly what I would call “stellar” but in just under 10 minutes I point out a few things that might be educational to some people trying to take shortcuts on the fast track to success with MFA (Made for Adsense) sites and affiliates. Take a look, and please leave any feedback desired…

In January of 2007 I joined StomperNet under the belief that I would get the personal attention of their world-class faculty.

I assumed that for the nearly $10,000 I was going to pay for the year, I would not only learn everything I wanted to know, but I would establish some personal relationships that I could continue to nurture over time.

Is it possible that an Ebook can be a collectors item? Maybe so, because “the guy who wrote the book on SEO”, Aaron Wall has emailed his affiliates to tell us that as of midnight February 20th, it’s no longer going to be for sale, and in it’s place will be something better. (More on that tomorrow)

You know the drill by now… Searching the web for subject relevant blogs, then posting an intelligent comment that you hope will get you a counted backlink to your own domain or webpage of your choice.

This is a large site that turned out to have lots of structural issues, server errors, disappearing pages etc. A bit more than the SEO-101 I though i’d be doing, but a lot got covered, all in just about 12 minutes.

As always, anyone else’s input is appreciated, and feel free to point out anything I may have missed (I’m sure there’s plenty) … Site review video here

This is a quick 3 minute look at the new Google experimental view options, and how the searchers behavior and intent will change the serps at the click of the mouse. This is just a glimpse of what’s coming, and I sort of like it.
