Just a friendly reminder, I’ve added and activated the DoFollow plugin from Semiologic to my blog so that all my readers who comment will get some backlink love. From this point on, you’ll see this graphic at the bottom of every single post, reminding you that the link to your website in your comments will be counted by search engines. This is part of your link building efforts and will help improve your rankings in the search engines. SPAM comments will automatically be filtered and deleted by Akismet plugin – everyone else is welcome.
What is NoFollow?

The NoFollow attribute (rel=”nofollow”) is an HTML attribute that tells the search engines to bypass your links during indexing. Most blogs are installed with the default setting NoFollow, meaning that the URL in the comments are not followed by Google and other search engines. Unfortunately, it also means that legitimate commenters get penalized, since a NoFollow link is implicitly treated by the search engines as a vote against the page being linked to. However, I do not believe in punishing legitimate commenters, and by installing the DoFollow plugin, it allows Google and other search engines to follow and pass on the credit to the outbound link. This is my way of saying thanks to all my great commenters.
What is DoFollow?

While NoFollow is an HTML attribute, DoFollow is actually an Internet slang term given to web pages or sites that are not utilizing NoFollow. In other words, blogs that remove or turn off the NoFollow attribute are rewarding the commenters for their contribution to a useful discussion. So if you want to increase your backlinks and improve your Google pagerank (PR), join in on the conversations and give us your thoughts and feedback.

Now that you know what DoFollow is and what it can do for you in terms of link building – go ahead and place your comments and don’t forget to include your website …or if you have any questions about NoFollow and DoFollow, just let me know and I’ll try to answer it.

Social Networking

One of the newest SEO techniques being employed world-wide is the use of social networking websites. The reasons for this are obvious: an existing client base where people can be reached based on a number of different criteria age, interests and location to name but a few. But make no mistake, social networking SEO is a time consuming and cumbersome process and may take hours of company time to achieve a satisfactory level of efficacy.

Social networking websites have been around for a number of years, with MySpace, Stumbleupon and Facebook being among the most popular. These websites enable users to sign on and create a profile in which they list their personal stats, interests and activities which their friends (and in some cases, strangers) can then see. New ‘friends’ are added based on the profile owner’s own discretion some merely require a request while others are stricter on this criterion. So how does one go about it then?

Businesses & Social Networking
Much like normal users, businesses can register profiles and publish their details. In itself this doesn’t mean much until the actual ‘networking’ begins. First and foremost among the many social networking tactics is the publication of URLs pointing back toward the company’s website. As social networking websites are in high regard with search engines, this provides for a quality backlink. However this is mainly done on the website’s own social networking page and may, in most cases, only be accessible to those on the website’s friend list.

Most social networking websites provide specific areas where individuals, who are not necessarily on each other’s friend lists, can communicate very much like online forums. These areas are often grouped by industry or category and which has the advantage that all the members of that area share the same interests. Now of course the most desirable thing to do would be to post as many links as possible back to all the most important pages on a company’s website. However this may result in building a bad reputation or, in some cases, banning as well.

Successful SEO Strategies in a Social Networking Environment
The point of social networking SEO, much like all other areas of SEO, is to provide as much useful content as possible to a particular audience. Should the input prove successful, some of the audience members will then follow the link back to the original website and, in some cases, post it on their own websites, thereby generating more backlinks.

Now, when all’s said and done, there is actually only a finite number of people in any given social cyber area and only so many people that can be reached that share the same interests as the business. Does that mean there’s a limit to the success of social networking SEO? The answer would be no.

As one company has the ability to make use of social networking SEO, so will many others, all within the same industry. Where in the real world (or even elsewhere on the internet) these companies wouldn’t necessarily associate with each other, it becomes beneficial to do so in a social networking environment. Not only does this increase the size of the audience, but it also increases the opportunity for posting more links (along with constructive content).

Social Networking is Hard Work
What many people don’t realise is that social networking is in fact hard work. It requires hours of searching for potential ‘friends’ with the same interests, constant interaction with them and others and, of course, supplying as much useful industry related content as possible. It is perhaps for this very reason that many companies employ a third-party SEO specialist to do the job for them.

In recent years blog posting have become one of the most successful forms of online journaling and for a good reason too. Not only does it provide private web users the ability to relate important information on a topic of their choice, but it supplies companies with a chance to provide the average web user with industry-relevant information. Whether this information relates to their products and/or services is of little important because, when done right, blog posting becomes a powerful SEO technique.

The success of blog posts relies on the fact that the author of the blogs has the necessary industry-relevant information, but also the ability to convey this information in an easy-to-understand and often entertaining way. Web users appreciate this far more than shifting through mundane industry-related jargon and text to find the information they want. This naturally not only spreads awareness on a specific product, service or company, but identifies the author as someone with a degree of competence on the specific subject. In short, it encourages consumer trust.

Additionally there exist other benefits to blog posting which pertain directly to SEO. They refer to the location of the blogs which, when all things considered, becomes an important decision to make.

The first of these locations refers to the company website itself. In this case the blog theme will be that of the entire website and it will also allow users to view additional entries, products, services, etc. While this is beneficial in terms of content from an SEO perspective, it does not necessarily offer all the possible benefits, as well see with our second location.

External blog-hosting websites are plentiful, each with its own look and feel. These require blog authors to log on and submit their posts which have been optimized for a specific set of keywords as well as a number of links back to the main website. Again these online blogs can often be customized to reflect the company theme. The benefits of this type of blog are that it is accessible to more users, especially to those on the same platform and others who arrive by means other than search engines. In addition these platforms are often regarded as high-quality by search engines, which mean that any backlinks created, will count toward search engine ranking status.

Now, the catch to successful blog posts is that it should be done on a regular basis with the content preplanned to reflect interesting topics for web users and, if applicable, a certain amount of keyword density and other optimization techniques for search engines. While all of these can be done alone, it does require a certain amount of skill and a fair amount of discipline and time.

Companies who can’t employ their own writers often outsource the job to external companies, like us. With the necessary experience and exceptional literary skills, our writers are capable of writing on every subject with clarity and in the relevant tone. Blog posting done right can mean a positive change for your business.

Internet articles are plentiful and extremely useful, too. From instructing readers on beating financial hardship to the best possible way of growing tomatoes, articles cover virtually every subject known to man. And from the webmaster’s or website owner’s point-of-view, article posting is also a great way of generating more traffic and increasing a website’s page rank status.

To be more specific, however, Internet articles differ from traditional articles found in paper-based media in a number of ways. They are either published on the author’s website or in an article directory and they can be written by anyone, on any subject without them (the authors) receiving remuneration for their efforts.

Article Posting Benefits
The main purpose of internet articles is to inform. This is what they (the readers) expect and it is what search engines, like Google, expect. In SEO terms, however, articles serve a number of purposes, all focused around generating traffic to a particular website. Here are two of the most prominent SEO benefits of articles:

. Articles Create Awareness:
Not only do articles supply users with the information they need, but they also have the power to promote a company. This is typically done through a combination of excellent information as well as the style in which articles are delivered. Should all this be done in a suitable fashion, these articles alone have the ability to increase traffic to a company’s website.

. Articles Generate Backlinks
In addition to bookmarking articles, some readers may also link to them from their own blogs or websites, thereby creating more backlinks. Naturally, this will serve to increase the page rank status of the website. In addition to the backlinks from online readers, however, is the link from the website where the article is published (if it is an external website, like an article directory). These links can either come from hyperlinks in the article’s body or from the author’s section of the article.

The Pitfalls of Article Writing
The pitfalls of article writing are few, but they are almost always ignored. As said before, anyone can write an article and have it posted on their website or to an external article directory. But not everyone can write.

While some web users will accept the content of any given article as is (as long as it is valid), fair writing skills along with correct grammar and spelling play an important role. They help establish credibility as well as the competence of the author. Those articles loaded with errors will more often than not propose to the reader that the content of the website the article points to is written in the same fashion, thereby causing them to move on where they might have followed said link.

In conclusion, it needn’t be said that a fair amount of articles are needed on a regular basis to ensure that search engines remain interested in a particular website. In addition articles often have to be written with a certain keyword density as well as a pre established keyword proximity.

As such companies often invest in teams of external writers, such as ours, to fulfill their writing tasks.

The Google Search Options panel also gives you the ability to view your results in new ways.

One view gives you more information about each result, including images as well as text, while others let you explore and iterate your search in different ways.

Google think of the Search Options panel as a tool belt that gives you new ways to interact with Google Search, and Google plan to fill it with more innovative and useful features in the future.

Another challenging problem Google have worked on is better understanding the information you get back from a search. When you see your results from a Google search, how do you decide which one has the best information for you? Or, how can Google help you make the best decision about where to click?
