Why Does Google Deindex a BANS Website?

December 3, 2008

It’s a well known fact that ALL Build a Niche Store owners can verify, Google is not too fond of thin sites! We have all seen many of our sites dropped from the index, including several that have above and beyond the normal point and click sites! Dave (Soggy Dave for those who don’t know him) wrote about it yesterday, in a piece about Google throwing out the baby with the bathwater. He is just one of many of us who are digging into this and trying to find out what can be done to make the most out of the software!

There was a time, less than 45 days ago… that I completely gave up on BANS and started focusing on other projects. As you will read at the end of this post, I decided that this was NOT the right answer for both myself or any of you, and when I launched the Hybrid Golf site last month, I decided I owed it to all of us to do the same with the BANS software, and compare my results! No WordPress on the site… just a BANS site, with a bit of customization. …Read more about Why Does Google Deindex a BANS Website?

What do You Know about Site Linking and Google?

November 26, 2008

Over the years of working on websites… the one common thing everyone with a website strives to achieve, are top 10 search engine rankings. One of the most common strategies we all chase to increase those rankings are inbound site links from other websites. In this post, I am going to list a single poll and talk mostly about Google… lets face it, they own search with about 80% of all search customers, going through them to find a relevant site. (Link to market data)

My goal of this post… to find out what most people think are the most important factors in their link strategy!

Lets have a Website Link Strategy Quiz

In the poll below, I have listed several answers to a common question. Please choose the one answer you think is the most important, and if its not listed, feel free to add a comment below, letting us know your thought on this.

Which is the BEST Way to Gain Inbound Links to Increase Search Relevance?

I know how I would answer this poll… but the truth is, it would be a very different answer over the course of many years!

SEO Just got Flipped on its Head… and it Died!

November 18, 2008

If you base the Success of your Website on How it Ranks in Search Engine Result Pages - Prepare for Failure!

How many times each month do you visit Google and run a search on one of your target terms? If your answer is more than Zero, you better start looking for another way to measure success! Several Months ago, Shoemoney posted that SEO Had No Future… at the time, I questioned the reasoning behind it. Guess what - He was Right! …Read more about SEO Just got Flipped on its Head… and it Died!

Learn Internet Marketing from the Leaders of the Crowd!

November 12, 2008

Part of the learning curve with Learning the ins & outs of Internet Marketing, is the onslaught of information overload we seem to stumble onto every day! Well, I got an email from Gyutae Park over at Winning the Web yesterday afternoon, telling me that my Niche Store Builder site was ranked at 151, in the list of Top Internet Marketing Blogs.

According to the site, the list is:

The ultimate ranked list of the best Internet marketing blogs in the industry.  It factors in data from Feedburner, Alexa, Compete, Technorati, Google PR, Yahoo links, StumbleUpon, delicious, and some others to create a more accurate list of the top blogs.

The really cool thing is that in the one day since I got his email, I jumped 20 places! Looks like someone went over and put their own review rank next to my site! I suggest you go over and check it out, and if you feel like it… vote me up the list while you are there! One of the big benefits to someone like myself with lists like these, is that I can immediately see areas where I have the most impact for improvement!

If you have your own IM blog, I suggest letting Gyutae know about it so you be included in the list! If you have a blog about Niche site building, don’t forget you can add it to my own Top Niche Building Blogs list!

Google Releases an SEO Search Optimization Starter Guide!

November 12, 2008

Just announced on the Google Webmaster Blog! After quite a bit of feedback, Google is responding to one of the most common questions they hear from Webmaster:

How can I improve my site in Search Listings

The answer… a 12 page Google SEO Starter Guide! They start it out by saying that it was originally meant for their internal teams to use as a guide, but they saw the need to release it to everyone! I wouldn’t expect to find any “Glowing Nuggets” that are magically going to change the way your websites rank, but getting a guide directly from the King of the Web, will surely help!

Sure would be nice to be Brandon’s Baseball Cards!

Build A Niche Store Ebook Review-The Niche Book

November 3, 2008

thenichebook.jpgThe biggest problem any new or seasoned internet marketer has is getting the information we need when we need it. We’re constantly bombarded with do this and do that tips and advice but what’s lacking most of the time is a step by step plan that we can follow. We get overwhelmed because the pieces just don’t seem to fit together.

That’s why I was excited when Mark contacted me and asked me to review Steve Lindhorst’s latest ebook, “The Niche Book-The Complete Guide To Making Money In Niche Markets.”

So, how does it stack up? Let’s take a look…
