I'm Back!

So, ending my blog fast, I have produced a few articles which I am publishing on the secure24seven site of course along with a few other places around the web - for example hubpages.com is a great place to get some recognition on the web, you sign up, set up a 'hub' - an area where you write according to some topic of your choice and you publish it for others to see. Also, there is a new beta-site called qassia.com, which is an interesting concept where you can publish 'intel' on basically anything you want, then send it around for other people to vote on, and as a result it creates backlinks to your own website. This shows great promise since for every 'intel' you will receive a backlink. I have also begun to make my way through digg.com where you can bookmark relevant articles, videos, pictures, etc... that apply to something you are interested in. It is also another way to get your name on the market! It is also really Google-friendly to put a cherry on top!

New things....Always!

I am learning now that SEO is a nitty-gritty, OCD-forming process...there are so many small things involved, just a character can change everything! Well, some things I have done recently is to update the robots.txt file to disallow the bot form indexing some unnecessary file like cgi-bin...also I have bolded the keywords on my pages to emphasize them. Also, I submitted a sitemap sone in .xml to Google and made sure there were no broken links...just beginning!

Articles....

Alright,

I busted out an article about home security and I will attempt to continue that every week, that way there is dynamic content on the site weekly, which means Google is going to go through it more often, which means better rankings overall! It really is not that hard to produce an article, it just takes you back to the ol' high school days of trying to bust out a paper in no time because you put it off for so long....

Anyway, Peace!

Direction...

Alright,

Checking things over, I think the direction this site needs to take is to generate new, dynamic content...so I will be spending some time researching and putting together some articles that can be placed on the site, I think this will help generate some links to the site as well, since Digg and other bookmarking sites can be used to generate those links....so I may be on a blog fast until things get researched.....

End of Week 4/5/08

Alright,

So I've written this twice now thanks to the good ol' computer glitches...anyway, an update for the first week of the project...according to google PR and my free SEO tool (http://www.seocompany.ca/tool/site-stats-web/), the site is listed at a PR of 3 which shows some promise! The site isn't listed in the top 1000 results of Google as far as I can tell, and basically things are looking pretty low, but they can only go up from here, eh?!

Robots....

Okay, I now verified my site with google by inserting a small Google-generated META tag into my HTML and I have thrown in a robots.txt file into the main root domain for the secure24seven site... the .txt includes the following information:

User-Agent: *
Disallow:

Google issues....

Alright,

I've created another blog for secure24seven to post home security articles, and as a results I have been blocked by Google....it is apparently their way to make sure your blog is valid, so I sent them a request to unlock it...we'll see how long that takes now...

New Project...

I have just been given a new project to take a leads site that is currently unranked by Google, and turn it into something really special...the site is www.secure24seven.com so you can check out the progress as time goes on...As it is right now, the basic images, buttons, and forms are on the page, but NO SEO or Web 2.0 has been used for the page at all.....Thus it begins!!
