The script name is Site Sift Listings. It is a neat directory script that you can use if you’re planning to own a directory that you can be easily manage then this script is a must try. I have seen few directories that earns lot of paid links because of the directories pretty neat script and for being SEO friendly directory. You can download the script here http://scripts.site-sift.com/down.php. But in order to download the script you must sign up their registration form. And wait for the confirmation link on where you can download the free script. But you can also choose to buy their un-copyrighted script for just $59.95. What’s the difference with free and paid version of the script? The difference is you won’t have to link back to Site Sift Listings while the paid script doesn’t have a link from Site Sift Listings website. But there are some comments I would like to improve on the script. I’ll have to list them so that if ever the owner of the site have read my blog post he will try to improve his script.<br /><br />1. Suggest Category isn’t available in the script. I think this one should be included in the script.<br /><br />2. On the admin panel there must be a partition of the link submitted. The problem of this is when you approve listings the page will be refreshed. Imagine if you have 3k pending links it will reload each and every time you add/edit/delete listings.<br /><br />3. I also want to suggest if the link could be sorted out such as date submitted and alphabetically (URL, Title)<br /><br />4. Also if the payment option can be available through 2checkout or money bookers. As of the moment the site is just using Paypal payment method. <br /><br />If I missed something or would like to comment about the script feel free to comment on this post.khasmothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14268168388115544702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34197434.post-1164876542110928482006-11-30T00:38:00.000-08:002006-11-30T00:49:23.373-08:00Free YPN, Adcenter and Adwords VoucherI'm back for another freebies.

How it works? Whats with Del.icio.us that made it so cool and popular ?</span><br /><br />If you're one of these individual who are still asking these type of questions, it's youre lucky day today because today I will give you the general answers to your questions. Del.icio.us is been around for quite a while now and few millions of members as of now and multiplying everyday.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">What is del.icio.us?</span><br /><br />del.icio.us is a social bookmarking service. It's like a myspace where you could share your profile to your friends. But in del.icio.us you are sharing bookmarks. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">So whats so cool with sharing bookmarks?</span><br /><br />Since there are millions of people using del.icio.us your bookmarks might be added to some of these million people. So if you have a favorite site and want to share it to millions of people you will have a free exposure.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />I'm a blogger what benefit would I get del.icio.us?</span><br /><br />So if you're a blogger its easy for you to store tons of links from your favorite website where you can gather information. A good blogger usually reads lot of articles from a website so that they can really spread the information accurately.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Is del.icio.us useful to SEO?</span><br /><br />Yes, again since there are millions of people using del.icio.us you can promote also your website there by storing it to your bookmarks in del.icio.us. Then ask your friend to add it to their list and hopefully your website might be added by the friend's friend. And who knows your site might be added to millions of people in del.icio.us.<br /><br />Also del.icio.us are taggable. Meaning you can add taggs to your favorite website. For example if you're adding <a href="http://everydayseo.blogspot.com">http://everydayseo.blogspot.com</a> in your del.icio.us, you can add a tag to it like "SEO, SEO Tips and SEO tools". Its easy for you to sort your bookmarks especially if you have thousands of bookmarks in your del.icio.us account.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">As an internet user what's so cool with del.icio.us?</span><br /><br />If you're using dual Operating System (OS) such as windows/linux OS in your desktop PC. You will just have to access your del.icio.us account and you can retrieve your bookmarks. It means you have a central bookmarks in the internet where you could store your bookmarks.<br /><br />Also if you're using a pc somewhere i.e. you're on a vacation. You could easily access your bookmarks by just loggin in to your account in del.icio.us. Pretty cool huh?!<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Is it accessible through RSS readers?</span><br /><br />Yes, del.icio.us is accessible in your favorite RSS readers so that you can easily access your bookmarks through RSS readers like Mozilla Thunderbird and FeedReader.<br /><br />Just before posting these blog about del.icio.us I've discovered that there are two people have added everydayseo blog to their del.icio.us bookmarks. The lucky guy is http://del.icio.us/natmanu and the other one was me ofcourse http://del.icio.us/khasmoth. <br /><br />You could add also my blog to your del.icio.us account by clicking <br /><a class="delicious" title="Post to del.icio.us." href="http://del.icio.us/post" onclick="window.open('http://del.icio.us/post?v=4&partner=orn&noui&jump=close&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title),'delicious','toolbar=no,width=700,height=400'); return false;">here </a> <br /><br />Hopefully I've answer your newbie question already.

I found that this article has lot of good pointers to have a successful blogs. I will just make a summary on what I've really like on this article by <a href="http://www.avivadirectory.com">aviva directory</a> . <br /><br />1. Never ever launch a blog if you have only few post on it. The reason for this is some readers wont find your blog interesting or they will find youre not serious with your blog. Unless your <a href="http://mattcutts.com/blog/">Matt Cutts</a> or any other known people in a specific industry. <br /><br />2. RSS feeds is a must. If you're running a blog, One of the most important part of your blog is the RSS feeds. RSS feeds are one of ways to spread and make your blog popular. Some people just dont know about your new blog so the way to reach your readers is through RSS feeds submitted to known RSS readers. You must implement a code in your blog a RSS subscribe on these popular newsreader like Bloglines, MyYahoo!, Google Reader, and MyMSN.<br /><br />3. Social Bookmarking. Another way to get your blog available and convenient for your readers is adding your site to <a href="http://www.Del.icio.us">Del.icio.us</a> and <a href="http://www.digg.com">Digg</a>. Personally I've had lot of success on Digg and Del.icio.us to have more readers on my blog.<br /><br />4. Get as many blog partner as you can (a.k.a. Blogging exchange). This is one of the way to reach your readers. This is like a refferal program. Just like an exchange link. Blogging on someones blog might help you get notice by readers. Just make sure you are doing these on same niche. Otherwise this is useless. Because you have to target the viewer of your partner's blog.<br /><br />5. Link Building. You have to do some <a href="http://everydayseo.blogspot.com/2006/09/seo-basics.html">basic SEO</a> on your blog. <br /><br />These are some of the basic SEO that you must do.<br /><br />a. Submit to directories such as <a href="http://www.dmoz.org">DMOZ,</a> <a href="http://dir.yahoo.com">Yahoo</a>, <a href="http://www.avivadirectory.com">Aviva</a> and other good directories. <br /><br />b. Add a signature in every forum you're participating. <br /><br />c. If you have a myspace or any other social networking sites account. Add it to your profile. It will give you an exposure to future readers of your site.<br /><br />At the end of the article just saw a really good tips in starting a blog. Even if you dont have a reader in your blog dont worry about it. Someone will find you sooner or later. Just keep on blogging and do a good promotional strategy on your blog and you'll be fine.<br /><br />Goodluck to your blog if you're planning to launch one.khasmothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14268168388115544702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34197434.post-1161597445047843262006-10-23T02:33:00.000-07:002006-10-23T03:06:26.813-07:00Webmaster/SEO Glossary<img src="http://www.seobook.com/images/logo.gif" HEIGHT="100", WIDTH="300"></img><br />While reading some SEO articles I've found out about this very informative <a href="http://www.seobook.com/glossary/">SEO Glossary by Aaron Wall</a> . Aaron Wall is the author of SEOBook.com and well respected in many SEO forums because of his search engine tips and observation. <br /><br />To tell you honestly I've heard of his book and his name long time ago while studying SEO and just before writing this blog, its my first time to read an article from his seobook.com. Just came across to his site from a post on a Webmaster forum.<br /><br />Also I came across on another Aaron's <a href="http://www.search-marketing.info/newsletter/articles/trustrank-company.htm">SEO related website</a> and I found out some interesting issue posted there.<br /><br />There is a question there that sticks that caught my attention. <span style="font-weight:bold;">"Why are You Hating on Directories Aaron?"</span><br />Here is one of his views on some of the directory owners <br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">"The problem has come from the fact that there has been an explosion in the number of directories and most of the directory owners are too greedy or lazy to create legitimate business models. If you don't make the site compelling for search algorithms most likely they will aim to find ways to deweight it."</span> <br /><br />I really like his point of view on directory exploitation. Some of the directories are made for earnings only without considering the quality of the site will be accepted. But you cannot blame it all to the directory owners because some new directories needs some listings and traffic. So if you are the directory owners and you've rejected almost all the links submitted to you because they are MFA sites/low quality sites. Your directory will be put into sandbox by some SEO/Webmaster because you didnt accept their sites. The point here is directory problems cannot be blame to the directory owners only. Because its a two way process to have a succesful directory. Its hard for new directory owners to impose a strict policy on their directory or directory submitter wont submit to your site. Just my 2 cents though.khasmothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14268168388115544702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34197434.post-1161057042009196512006-10-16T20:32:00.000-07:002006-10-18T22:27:51.346-07:00Google Blog Search for SEO?<img src="http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch/intl/en_ALL/images/g_bsrch_logo.gif"></img><br /><br />Google has just recently released <a href="http://google.com/blogsearch">Google Blog Search</a> which will really help bloggers to keep readers to be updated on their blogs. <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br /><br />What it does mean to me as a blogger?</span><br /><br />The Google blog search has a pinging service that lets RSS feed of a weblogs so that when they updated their blogs, Google can display it on Google Blog Search and it your weblogs will be added to the index and crawled website. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">How important Google blog search for SEO?</span><br /><br />As an SEO your role is to keep your site gets crawled and indexed by Google and other search engines.

Only few are still hoping that the PR update isn't over because they're not seeing any good update on their site. But as of me I have manage to retain and some increases in PR. <br /><br />One of the site where I've gathered my inspiration showing PR8 here: <a href="http://livepr.raketforskning.com/?u=www.digitalpoint.com">http://livepr.raketforskning.com/?u=www.digitalpoint.com</a>. It's www.Digitalpoint.com. I really love the community and Digitalpoint because I've learned lot from the members there and at the same time I enjoyed spending my time reading wacky/funny post of other members. While Mozilla.com managed to increase it's PR up to PR9. Also chris www.alivedirectory now showing PR7. Chris is very famous there in Digitalpoint because he exert lot of effort to his directory. Sitepoint forums also got PR0 from PR7. I love sitepoint before but after imposing lot of fees on their thread I've quit posting and visiting the site. yahoo.com and MSN.com remain to be PR9.<br /><br />Although the PR update isn't over yet lets just keep our fingers cross that everything will be fine in terms of PR. Goodluck to all.khasmothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14268168388115544702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34197434.post-1159169413948542842006-09-25T00:00:00.000-07:002006-09-25T00:33:42.580-07:00SEO basicsI was very busy last week that I can't manage to add content on these SEO blog because I have to create a 50 pages of SEO manual that will be use for our company.<br />Just want to share you guys on what I have written there.<br /><br />Just recently I have to create a manual for our company about SEO so that our future SEO specialist will just have to read the manual and learn from what I've written there. Here is the part of that manual that I've written for our SEO manual.<br />It is just the overview on what you will do if you will become an SEO.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">What are the roles of an SEO?</span><br /><br />As an SEO and Online Marketing Associate you will be responsible for improving and executing our SEO strategies to accomplish higher search engine rankings and increase website traffic without jeopardizing our network’s credibility (i.e. make sure you do not employ black hat strategies or any strategy that can get us penalized or banned by the major search engines). Your tasks and responsibilities are the following:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Weblog Analysis</span> – Our websites generate logs that have to be carefully analyzed to see how our websites are performing. Every month we create reports for all our websites and distribute those reports within our organization. You will be co-responsible for creating and analyzing these reports.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs) Analysis</span> - We carefully track the search engine rankings of all our websites. Every month a report is created on how each website ranks for its major keywords. You will be co-responsible for creating and analyzing these reports.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Link & Marketing Campaigns</span> - To further increase our search engine rankings, we constantly look for related or complementary high quality websites that we can either exchange links with or buy links from. You will assist in running these campaigns by finding potential partners and managing our negotiations with them. The campaign also includes implementing other strategies that will increase our rankings in SERPs.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Online Marketing of Partner Programs</span> - Our websites also feature multiple Partner Programs that enable other companies or websites to collaborate with us. These are not directly SEO-related but help increase the general popularity and profitability of our websites. You will assist in finding potential partners and managing our negotiations with them.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">SEO Research</span> - The world of SEO is fast moving and we need to make sure that we are up-to-date with the latest SEO Developments. Your task will be to research well-known SEO resources on a regular basis and update our SEO Knowledge Base.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">On-Page Optimization</span> – As an SEO you are required to check if the pages of the sites are SE friendly.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">SEO Techniques</span><br /><br />As an SEO we employ different techniques/strategies to make our rankings higher in SERPs. These strategies are composed of three (3) major parts namely Link Building, On-Page Analysis, and Adding Content to our Knowledge Base.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Link Building</span> is the most important part of our SEO strategy because Search Engine gives votes to sites with relevant sites linking to our sites. So your role is to acquire as many relevant/quality links as possible to link into our site. Link Building Strategy is explained in detailed in the next chapter. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">On-Page analysis</span> is part of your job as an SEO to make sure our site’s WebPages are all Search Engine friendly. This includes researching for keywords to be added n our site. Adding Content to our Knowledge Base is also part of your job. You’re the one responsible to add any information you’ve gathered while doing your job.khasmothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14268168388115544702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34197434.post-1158292724313676262006-09-14T20:21:00.000-07:002006-09-25T00:31:32.430-07:00Link Exchange GuideAfter receiving numerous link exchange request on some of my sites. I've decided to write a guide if you want your site to be accepted in a link exchange. First of all if you're just building an MFA sites the percentage that your site will be accepted is around 10 to 20 %. Then why should you spend creating a Made-for-Ads/Adsense (MFA) sites if your site will just be rejected and will not rank in SERP absolutely. But if your intention is to spam to get traffic then it's a different scenario. (This is black hat SEO technique and will be penalized by Search Engine soon)<br /><br />Nowadays I've seen lot of crap sites. When I say crap sites it means the site's content is ripped off from another site. <br /><br />There are some ways how to know if a site's content is ripped off from other site just copy a part of the article and paste it in google then it will show results relevant to your site. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Should I go for automatic link exchange software?</span><br /><br />The answer is no. The only chances that your site will be accepted are webmaster that don't know much about SEO. And usually the site is garbage and the owner is not serious on his site.<br /><br />Also make sure you are dealing with trusted person. Because most of the time when I'm dealing with someone after few weeks my link is removed or been placed to page in his/her site that cannot be accesed through homepage. <br /><br />As always do not link exchange with "bad neighborhood" porno and pharmacy related sites are one of them. It will surely hurt your site's rankings in SERP if you will link back to these sites.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Should I go for Higher PR sites?</span><br /><br />Yes, but make sure you are linking to a relevant sites as well. Again quantity vs quality is the issue here. I suggest you choose quality because this is the most important in link building.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Why should I go for higher PR sites?</span><br /><br />Simply because higher PR is loved by Google. Meaning more spiders will visit your site. The more spiders the highest the percentage that your site will be indexed fast. And soon the rankings will improve also. But definitely PR isn't directly related in SERP. It doesn't imply that the higher the PR the higher the rankings in SERP. This is the common SEO myth.<br /><br />Also I want to give you what Mattcutts think on link exchange.<br /><br />" The best links are not paid, or exchanged after out-of-the-blue emails–the best links are earned and given by choice. "<br /><br />So it's better make your site more useful so that people will voluntary link to you.khasmothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14268168388115544702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34197434.post-1158213634698800082006-09-13T23:00:00.000-07:002006-09-14T00:39:50.603-07:00How important blog in link building?What is a blog? <br /><br />A blog is like a diary in the internet where you could post all your thoughts about almost everything. It might be the one happen to you today or last week while in vacation that you want to share your experience and personal thoughts about a subject.<br /><br />Again another incident I've encountered while browsing a popular <a href="http://forums.digitalpoint.com">webmaster forums</a> about people buying/selling blog links. That made me think on how important blogs in link building. Well the first thing that slips to my mind was, blog links are one-way link just like having links in a directory. <br /><br />Why spend a much higher price for your link to be posted on a blog? Is there a difference between spending your money on a blog and on a paid directory? Definitely you will all agree that yes because some of the directory are link farm and they don't give much weight for your site especially if its on a general directory?<br /><br />But the real reason for this was, Blogs is being crawled by Search Engine more often and somewhat give a significant weight on your rankings especially if its relevant to the niche of your site. So it's just like having a link on a niche site similar to yours with ease. And also blogs format have Search Engine friendly pages that makes the possibility of your pages to be indexed fast. I would like to give you a sample of a blog to see how fast google indexed the pages in a blog. <br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/463/3765/1600/indexed%20pages.0.png"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/463/3765/320/indexed%20pages.0.png" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />After realizing all of this issues about blog I've certainly want to agree that it's worth it to spend their money with blogs.khasmothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14268168388115544702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34197434.post-1158042148494430022006-09-12T23:15:00.000-07:002006-09-14T21:06:26.080-07:00Google: Is PageRank a factor on SERP?I've encountered this question very often lately. This question is been discuss in some <a href="http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=138690">webmaster forums</a>. And I just thought I could write about my thoughts on this question.<br /><br />I used to believe that PageRank (PR) plays very important factor in Google Search Engine Result Page(SERP) . That's why whenever I'm exchanging links with some webmasters/SEO I always look at their site's PR. I'm not the only one looking at this thing though. Some of my colleagues and some members of the forums I've joined was always concern with PR.<br /><br />Pagerank is been misunderstood by many. They always thought that PageRank is one of the factor why some sites are ranking high in SERP. This is absolutely a myth. Pagerank is definitely not directly related to your sites rankings in SERP. <br /><br />Lets discuss also why people always looking for higher PR site in link exchange?<br />Most of the people thought that higher the PR, the chances on getting on top of the SERP is big. But definitely this is not true. PageRank is not related to SERP. SERP is based on many factors but the biggest part of this factors is your content and sites that linking back to you.<br /><br />PageRank should be consider only in link exchange as a trust rank. It means that if the site is running for quite a long time i.e. 1 year and the site is PR0 then it means the owner of the site is not serious on his site and don't provide information that is worth reading for. <br /><br />So is Pagerank a factor on SERP? Definitely not. PR is for trust rank, original quality content is the key to get you up there in SERP. Do your homework now and try to build quality content so that visitor of your site will link to you rather than looking for higher PR site to link to.khasmothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14268168388115544702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34197434.post-1157958463683084302006-09-11T00:07:00.000-07:002006-09-11T02:47:55.863-07:00Welcome To Everyday SEOEveryday SEO's main theme is to discuss certain issues about Search Engine Optimization.
