A Spammer's Dedication and Deceiving Tactics

Today, i just created another blog titled D Sub 800. This blog site is of course very obvious to be discussing all about the three things i adore in my life - glass, kitchen and SEO in particular.

I have always loved glass art and never ceases to fascinate me whenever i see one of any kind of art expression involving stuffs related to glass, glass wares, glass museums, glass galleries, glass works, glass heritage, glass recycling, glass collector's item, glass houses, glass jewelries, crystal glass, glass figures, glass chandeliers, glass architecture, colored glass of different shapes and most anything anybody can think of about glass and glasses as applied to arts and artistry to attain any expression.

While i was searching for data and figures about glasses i came across with a site that has a high ranking in the Google SERP with just a few posts with lots of .net and .info linking sites through comments. The thing is all of the .net and .org links used odd strings of alphabets which at a glance of an expert SEO can be easily seen as a disguise of a spammer and black hatter.

After visiting the pages of the website itself, i found out that the site is really and confirmed to be black hatter and spammer owned and maintained. Adoring at how he build up links like those odd strings of alphabets which to an opinion of a newbie like me is something or some sort of a tactic that tricks the search engines to distinguish the site to be of importance because of the said .org and .info links. I later found out also that the sites linking to this spammers site leads to pages full of ads and is actually ads filled. This i believe is what they call as doorway pages. These doorway pages are the type of pages that earn these spammers a significant amount of income and money in terms of spamming and using black hat tactics.

I hope that there will come a day that webmasters would not need to use black hat techniques and spamming as a basis for earning a significant amount of income. This way, all is fair in the eyes of the search engines and their bot crawlers.

Search Engine Indexing and Crawl Variations Experiment

This is a repost from my previous blog that i find somehow relevant to the present tactics needed by different webmasters who joined the Ituloy Angsulong SEO keyword ranking contest. My purpose of reposting this important article is for those SEO who does not know yet or heard about specific datas in relation to the indexing limits of the big three search engines (MSN, Yahoo and Google).

Based on my personal experience in my blog site, i have noticed some variations with respect to the way that the Big Three Search Engines (MSN, Google and Yahoo) do away with their crawlers and bots own methods and standards of crawling the billions of pages and websites each day looking for changes and newly uploaded ones to index.

Sure thing, there has to be some sort of a pattern or a system that justifies my claim in this unexpected experiment.What could really be the true indexing basis of spiders and bots given the algorithms it implores on pages and websites aside from the fact that they all have a criteria and sets of standards in doing so.

I treated the changes made with respect to my blog site as an experiment. It is unintentionally undertaken and without specific considerations,tools and knowledge that after all of the major turnarounds that had happened to the site, the algorithms had unimaginably affected the site per se. This involves the PR, and appearing in the Search Engine Results Pages. Thank god it got me to a positive effect.

I began to notice the chronology of events only after the implementation of a new theme and giving a new title head after two months of getting indexed by search engine bots and spiders.

First Citation:

May 2, 2006 - Me and my brother had a conversation saved in a notepad with a size of 6.75 kb (all conversation). He was telling me that he now had the web site (http://seoptimizers.com/) up. Without hesitation, i viewed it and was really excited about exploring the site's features. To my surprise, it was a log-in page that i saw. Don't know anything yet that time about any blog site nor any idea at all of how they serve the purpose.

May 5, 2006 - My website (http://seoptimizers.com/) with a title head: "Offshore Search Engine Optimization Outsourcing" was formally launched by my brother with drops of sweat just to jerk me out a little bit to pursue further my internet life where i am destined to belong.

This is not the exact date that the site had a post in it though because he wrote a "hello world!" post in it (May 2) just to start testing. The site was launched using the default wordpress theme at first. In a matter of about two weeks of regular writing, i began to see the fruits of my labor (appearing on SERP's). I first thought it was that easy and began psyching up myself making me write up to 3 posts/day sometimes.

First Appearance In MSN:

A little over a week more, my site began to appear #42 in the MSN SERP on the following keywords: "Offshore Search Engine Optimization" and #48 on the keyword: "Search Engine Optimization Outsourcing". Got me shouting. Yes! That time there were only about 7 posts caused by ISP problems and i erased a post or two.

After 15 More Posts:

From May 18-June 2 - Totalling of 22 posts by this time, i now can be viewed on the first page of the SERP's based on the two keywords stated above in MSN search at #10 and #8 respective of the target keywords, starting to now dominate the Indian-filled domain page. I believe i am the first Filipino to come near the territory of the great outsourcing tycoons on this page without using any marketing tool. Take note, i rely plainly in the indexing capabilities of the search engines plus the natural organic characteristic of blogs when it comes to rankings.

After Putting Google AdSense:

This time my site appeared at #142 and #148 respectively in the same keyword target on Google, some days it's #168 and #162 . In Yahoo, there is still no sign as i hover down, page by page and started to strain my arms looking for a possibility of appearing in their SERP's. Take note, not even on other related keyword/s. In MSN search i started to appear #4 and #2. I must admit enjoying the site so much this time as i put the specific search IP address in my favorites/bookmark list of sites. The happiness took some time until another major change was bound to be undertaken by changing the title head this time along with obtaining a new theme said to have a better marketing value.

My Last Post on Offshore Search Engine Optimization Outsourcing:

June 29, 2006 - The last post made on my site titled "10's of Tons of SEO Bloggers" before my brother decided to shift from the original title head "Offshore Search Engine Optimization Outsourcing" to simply "Outsourcing". By this time, my site's status is if i may say at it's peak. I am #2 (twice became first) and #3 on the same targeted keywords in MSN and #48 and #42 in Google and still nowhere to be found in Yahoo.

I guess i got tired of trying to see some changes in the SERP's of Yahoo that i almost decided not to look at it since. Until, two days after the main title was changed that my fingers got the hunch to clicking for the Yahoo search. At last, at page 17 #168th and #174 i found a relief and took a deep sigh to see my site. i shouted, Yahoo!

Here's a saying for this type of situation: "Better late than never" wheeeeew. It's as if i'm in cloud 9 this very moment. Yahoo over there! Better work it out!

My First Post in Outsourcing:

June 30, 2006 - To this date, my first post was made under the head title "Outosurcing" (Offshore Search Engine Marketing Quality in the Philippines) and still for about a week, the ranking of my site is still uncontested at #2 in the keyword "offshore search engine optimization" and #2 in the keyword "search engine optimization outsourcing".

Claim my blog at technorati:

This same week, i had my blog articles and posts registered for claiming at technorati. This i believe helped the site a lot to maintain rankings in the SERP's and at the same time even without having the actual site IP address appearing in the searches, i still have it in SERP's with the help of technorati in relation to posts tagged with the specific title head.

A little over a week, i began to see the changes to my sites appearance in the virtual SERP's. In the keyword "search engine optimization outsourcing" i dropped to # 4 from #2.

Having Quality Optimized Titles or Categories:

In the keyword "offshore search engine optimization" i still have it at #2. To explain this, i had to go back to the posts that i made regarding the titles. I thought it must have been because of the optimizes titles for the original site and the age of the site itself that caused it not to drop at once in the SERP's.

I found out that i have 18 posts in - SEO Philippines and 11 posts in the Search Engine Optimization News and Events. Now, where does that lead the experiment? Simple, provide your site with quality optimized pages and titles or categories. The picture below which i got from another quality experiment done by Serge Bondar proves another theory so relevant and important for the webmasters in any field.

Conclusion to the Experiment:

1. In any website, changing categorical titles have a devastating effect in search engine indexing and rankings.
2. One of the best qualities of any blog site is the implementation of changes at will and therefore, optimization of titles is the most important factor and major role player in it's organic rankings.
3. Themes, formats, arrangements, and the like in it's implementation should be done with care and sensitivity.
4. In any blog site, it helps to rank if you have the time to write as many posts as you can with consideration of the specific size as basis in the picture above.
5. Google AdSense helps you rank.
6. Consider site age in expecting any ranking.
7. Register your blog at technorati.
8. Stick to your target keyword specially in posting any article in your blog site.
9. At least a basic knowledge in html is needed to attain a better post quality of your blogsite.

Ituloy AngSulong: An Experiment in The Making

Manila, Philippines: After the launching of the Ituloy AngSulong SEO keyword ranking contest, the Philippine SEO will never be the same again.

Many Filipino webmasters have resorted to improving their link building techniques and professionalizing the ways and means of getting relevant links for their websites whom they prompted to enlist in the Ituloy AngSulong SEO contest. For this purpose, they are hoping to win the contest and build prestige beside their names as a trophy in SEO.

Posting Relevant Information:

So many great ideas and tactics with respect to the link building process as the contest goes along had promising effects to webmasters all over the search engine world and world wide web, not just here in the Philippine SEO local scene. One good tactic i have learned from the contest participants is link building by using the most relevant information distribution as linkbait.

This is achieved through posting the latest search results and data about the contest keyword, "Ituloy AngSulong" from the big three search engines Yahoo, MSN and Google and regularly updating it in a daily basis to the least. Like the search engines, human webmasters are always on the lookout for any relevant and useful information in the web with respect to their interests and likings, therefore if they find them relevant and important for their use, it becomes a source for them leading to accumulation of links and popularity for the other party.

Specifically, let me mention the site itself (http://www.seobunker.com/) for purposes of reference to future readers of this blog. The site's author was able to archive and pool out data of sites ranking up to a 238 range as of today 11- 27 - 06.

The basis of the rankings i believe is by computing the accumulated rankings total from the search results in the big three search engines and adding them up to get the total score (rank) which will then serve as the actual rank of the participating site. Presto! in any contest, a source to look at in any time to be available is a good help and there goes the link and the popularity thing in relation to SEO and marketing.

News as Reference:

Another relevant tactic i find so effective at this point of the Ituloy AngSulong SEO keyword ranking contest is using a site that provides news and relevant and latest happenings in the Philippine SEO community and the Ituloy AngSulong keyword ranking contest in particular.

Proof that to this day, news posting is still one of the most effective marketing advertisements and strategy that any link builder has to be knowledgeable in to be able to make it big in the link building industry and in SEO in particular. This tactic also posts as a good and in fact one of the best ways of linkbait effectiveness.

Keyword Stuffing Technique:

But the most interesting of all the observations that i have seen through my regular and intermittent visits with the different Ituloy AngSulong SEO contest participants is the odd but effective way of the old times..."same old black hat keyword stuffing technique".


This technique is not actually a black hat's way but tracing from the older ways of how the search engines see the different pages in the web, i guess this tactic is still one of the most effective. It was used before as one of the primary ways to get search engine rankings in the search engine results pages of your target keyword.

These days, it was believed to be a long lost myth as the search engine bots,crawlers and spiders of the different search engines have been devised to be sensitive to spamming and on ways to control this attitude by the early webmasters therefore deeming this technique as obsolete and would more likely take you and your site/s that uses it to get banned, disregarded and blacklisted by search engines.

It seems that there is no proof to this theory about how the search engine bots, crawlers and spiders behave but it could be accounted for the importance of a site's page that these bots..etc. reads these keyword stuffing schemes somehow as a relevant information for the search engines, therefore seeing it as a relevant website instead of a spam source if the keywords are in its proper places or the keyword density is at a considerable rate for the bots and crawlers.

As an actual experience, i have seen keyword stuffing as an effective way to get the rankings that you need but only in short time or period because sooner or later, the search engines and their batch of crawlers will see your site as spam source leading to blacklisting and drawback the indexing of your sites pages.

MSN Loves Blogs:

This is just my own observation with respect to the on going Ituloy AngSulong SEO keyword ranking contest. As i have observed these past few weeks of regularly visiting the ranking sites in the Ituloy Angsulong contest, i believe and would assume that MSN as a prestigious search engine really loves blogs and its organic characteristics and is fast at indexing as an engine when it comes to blog sites.

On the other hand...

Google is Fond of Well Optimized Websites:

Yes, Google, unlike the other search engines is the more professional engine because i believe that all ranking websites in relation to the Ituloy AngSulong SEO keyword ranking contest is an engine characterized by professionalism and well rounded and SEOptimized pages with a balanced algo with respect to blogsites and their contents.

Furthermore, a sites age factor is very necessary not just for the other two engines (Yahoo and MSN) but would mean a significant algorhytm plus factor with Google making it easier for their Googlebot to se the importance and relevance of any website the more.

And on the other hand...

Yahoo Is The Fastest Link Indexing Engine:

Based on my personal experience, it is absolutely true that Yahoo indeed is the fastest among the big three search engines to find relevant links of all sorts because the engine itself in terms of indexing links has the most numbers therefore making it the fastest to crawl up the link building efforts of every webmaster in the SEO industry.

I have said this because not just based in the statistics of the contest itself but also on the websites that i handle as a link builder i have seen the great power of Yahoo in terms of indexing link building efforts, be it from forums, press releases, news releases, blog commenting, deep links indexing, directory submissions, feeds submissions and different link building tactics.

Altavista is Fast in Indexing

Altavista is the fastest to crawl up all of my links page. With a 134 numbered links in Yahoo, 11 links in MSN and not even one (when i have a PR 3 before 2 months ago)link page in Google, i'm surprised that Altavista had given me and was able to index 164 links attributed to my blog site right now (11 - 22 - 06 / 12:17 AM). This is quite fast for an unrated search engine such as Altavista. Most of the webmasters are content just by having the Altavista search engine name mentioned many times but never even giving importance to its ways and means. Furthermore, Altavista just gets to be always on the second rate compared to the big three search engines (Yahoo, Google and MSN).

Well for whatever reason there is, i salute Altavista for giving credits to my link building works at a faster time possible compared to the big three. It could be that the Altvista staff are all not as busy as the big three guys. It could also be possible that the search engine itself is using a much faster software or program for their indexing of newly found pages in the web. Another reason i could account for this act of indexing of Altavista is because they don't have much complications to handle as compared to the other big 3 search engines. It is also possible that Altavista has a crawler bot that's not as limited in staying at a longer time to index and see the importance of a site and it's new links.

I wonder if anybody from the Ituloy AngSulong SEO keyword ranking contest participants here in the Philippines has to say about this? Has anybody actually done some efforts in seeing through this as a sort of link building process that also deserves a second look? I bet no one even bothered to at all because the contest only involves winning if you coould only rank in the big three and not in the second raters like Altavista, Inktomi and AllTheWeb. I also wonder if it will provide an effect to link building with respect to the big three search engines because in any such way, links are links are links and if you have links to smaller search engines like Altavista, Inktomi and AllTheWeb, chances are you are going to be a point ahead of the competition. If ever i am wrong about this point, then at least it can serve as a search engine marketing point up ahead compared to your competition. I believe that as of this date, Altavista is already owned and operated by yahoo including two other search engines like Inktomi and AlltheWeb.

Viva la Altavista!

Precharge Projectnet SEO Contest

I have learned lately that there is another on going SEO contest that aims to reveal the latest plot to destroy the usability of the internet and the web.
This contest is launched to draw attention to "a more than hard problem of people trying to use the Internet to make money. Now this is all fine and dandy except for the fact that when these people hurt others in their way to earn money from the Internet. The United State Congress is deciding as we speak whether to hand over control of the Internet to major ISPs(Internet Service Providers). This will allow them to choose which web sites you can view depending upon the ISP you use. And if this law is passed it could forever change the Internet and perhaps destroy the usefulness of the information on the internet. So this contest is to draw attention to this problem so we can fight it from it's roots" according to seocontestry.com where you can read the full details about the ongoing SEO awareness keyword ranking contest.

They have a new set of rules for this SEO contest and to make it possible for such a rule to be limiting if not totally avoiding the use of spams by only allowing newly registered domains (August 19,2006 only) to be used in the contest and the members themselves will monitor any spamming activity by participants.

The first prize is $ 200,000.00 USD. and there will be up to a 6th place winner who will get prizes such as (2nd) - $500.00 USD, A vBulletin forum software, 1GB Creative Labs Nano from amazon neighbors, and 5 domains from Domain Site. (3rd) - $250.00, $75.00 maximum template worth from Template Monster and a $25.00 coupon for Amazon. (4th) - will get a cash also of $100.00. (5th) - gets $25.00 and the (6th) gets a cool $10.00. but all in all aside from these up to 6th prize, there will also be a monthly prize to be given away while contest is going on.

The contest period started last August 19,2006 and ends on December 19,2006.

Google and Yahoo, now Joined for SEO Help

One of the world's leading online news distribution firm, WebPro News has just conducted an interview with Tim Mayer, Senior Director of Yahoo Global Websearch and Vanessa Fox, Product Manager of Google Webmaster Central announcing the joint support in launching a new site called the "sitemaps.org".

This Google Yahoo sitemaps.org will utilize the same sitemaps protocol in there providing services to webmasters regarding complexities and problems encountered by different online regulars with respect to technicalities and content management.

Vanessa Fox said: "We are really hoping that this will help webmasters to have an open standard and make it much easier so that they don’t have to worry about one type of feed for one engine and another type of feed for another engine." This will hopefully resolve problems with feeds and standards to become just an easy way of providing search engines the information that thay need in order to get indexed and more.

This hopes to be announced later tonight after the release of this video which you can watch at this link along with the whole news story about the newest happening... http://videos.webpronews.com/2006/11/16/yahoo-and-google-collaborate-on-search/ for a better understanding of how this new Google Yahoo sitemaps.org thing.

Best in this provided effort is that there is actually no monetization involved in the merging of the search engines and no Google AdSense at the site's pages as Vanessa Fox has mentioned. This will be just to help out the many webmasters on all issues covering SEO, backlinks, complex URLs, getting indexed by both search engine at the same time without the complexities and hassles of providing for a different content for each of the search engine as a requirement which as we know differ from one another.

All in all, there is great expectation for many webmasters both in the online business and freelancers regarding content management with respect to doing SEO and promotions and things and stuffs that go beyond the needs of webmasters.

Website Traffic Analysis

Using monitoring tools that enable you to determine and identify which page or pages of your website is most visited by potential customers and which are the entry and exit pages. This is very critical in web site optimization because if you know which page or pages are working well for your business, then you can optimize the site or page to provide more of it.

On the other way around, it is also very important to know the exit pages of your web site because it is a good indicator that you might be losing potential customers because of the content or aesthetic aspect of that page that is creating the problem.

This way, you can at an instant eliminate the cause of such problem and possibly make it more juicy, interesting, intriguing, or compelling to make visitors stay and possibly convert them into customers.

The “Versus Effect”:

I have mentioned earlier monitoring tools that help you see the entry and exit pages where visitors and potential customers come and go. Also tools that keep you informed on tracking who is sending you the actual traffic through categories by web page, domain, and domain types and how you can achieve optimized keywords to be used in your website through keyword selector tools.

This time, allow me to introduce what I can only describe as the “versus effect”. This effect enables you to know such defects in your site. How? Have you ever heard of a web monitoring tool that helps you see the operating systems and type of browsers that your visitors have? This will help you on your quest to professionally handle the business you have, small or big.

Again, FastCounter Pro helps the web masters a great deal when it comes to knowing which percentage of your visitors and customers have Mac systems versus Windows, and browsers like Internet Explorer versus Netscape. These discrepancies causes a bad image on your website if it hasn’t occurred to you.

What I’m talking about is the 404 error pages. These pages provide a negative image to your business site and worse, they become identical to your business as a bad reflection making potential customers and visitors draw conclusions related to the kind of customer service that you provide.

This tool enable’s you to see the details on customers who attempt to link or view 404 pages. Quite convincing, it is because if you loose customers this way, you can be sure they’ll never come back again for another visit or second thought and you very well know that “whatever works for customers works for your business as well”.

Understanding Customers:

I have finished discussing technical ways and means of tracking website traffic and provided some tips for you to observe in managing your small business (or big business). Assessing overall, the importance of this post, let me generalize it in terms of customers.

All this is actually about and how these customers that we call behave in the internet and gives life to the business as a whole process spoken of. It is of course up to you to make your own choices and considerations on how you could provide a better customer satisfaction, be it through the products that you sell or services you render. By reading this post I hope you have become smarter in terms of handling your business because there are lots of other possibilities and ways in the on-line world especially today.

Analysis:

Although I have discussed plainly what I know about web monitoring tools that you can use in improving the overall sales and revenue of your business, I cannot of course set aside the fact that not all available web monitoring tools are as effective as you believe.

This is just in attempt to make clear that there are of course some rare cases that some data are hard to analyze like the humongous amounts of numbers and coded words used to describe data in some web monitoring tools available for free in the web. Special thanks to Microsoft’s “Small Business Center” that I have explored in this post as basis.

Nevertheless, I believe in the saying that “it only takes the right tool for the right job and the right knowledge for the right information for webmasters to overwhelmingly soar sky high in the on-line business world

Firefox Digs Deeper Than Internet Explorer

When it comes to reliability, allow me to say that Firefox browser digs deeper as compared to Internet Explorer. Why? With Firefox, i was able to get indexed by Yahoo site Explorer with respect to links by as much as 71 links and counting using the Yahoo toolbar searchbox, whereas, with Internet explorer browser, i was only able to attain results numbering to only as much as 8 indexed results using the same search.

I was surprised that they didn't match at all except if you use the site explorer box itself and compare the two browsers. That way, you will have the same identical result as i have observed to amount up to 71.

Another comparison is that with Firefox browser, the indexed link pages were as i may say deeper because it attained results of links that i have built up way back when i used to write some posts in link building and seo blog and Amusements and Repairs and even way back when i have posts in my "expired domain" with a PR 2 where i took some posts and re-posted it in my new account in Blogger.

I hope to understand this occurrence sometime along my other experiences and hopping adventures in relation to SEO and link building when i have enough time to devote to completing up an experiment along with my other various ones earlier.

Trading SEO Secrets for Link Building

SEO is fast booming here in the Philippine webmasters community these past few months. One factor that contributed to this rise of consciousness can be attributed to the launching of the latest and grandest Philippine SEO contest dubbed as Ituloy AngSulong keyword ranking contest which is actually a follow up to the successful Isulong SEOPH that ended i think last September.

Contest participants have resorted to different styles and variations to use in ranking for the Ituloy AngSulong keyword phrase. Some used the traditional keyword stuffing in their blog posts (most blogs do).

Some resorted to and concentrated in different link building tactics such as directory submissions, forum posting, blog commenting, feed submissions, blog posting, article submissions, news feed submissions and other popular SEO link building strives.

Summing up all in all, it is as i would estimate that link building tactics is the key that plays the biggest part in achieving high rankings in the big 3 search engines (Yahoo, Google and MSN).

In my case and in relation to this new contest , i shifted my concentration of link building jobs for big companies or the clients i serve into studying the different variations and link building effects that i have noticed through my constant visits to the numerous participants that made an abundance in terms of pages pointing to the keyword Ituloy AngSulong.

This way, i guess i can learn much not just from the experience but also from the various experiments that i see but others don't bother taking notice along the way while i enjoy seeing and seeking for virtual and realistic data and proofs to my claims with respect to link building tactics that i learn from the contest.

Although most SEO won't actually trade secrets with others is no big deal but if i were to achieve a certain fact and come up with a revolutionary tactic that could help the webmasters, then by all means, i would most likely trade these secrets.

Using Firefox Plug in to Rank in the Ituloy AngSulong SEO Contest

I am involved right now with directory submissions, link building and other marketing jobs and i find doing it to be helping me a lot in terms of the increase in knowledge and ROI.

Managing the promotions of a business website has never been the best feeling that i had since I got involved in the Search Engine Marketing and SEO gigs. The best feeling i get is when the business sites i promote gets to rank in the SERP's with the use of my link building tactics.

I would just like to suggest to the readers of this post that there is a helpful and good Firefox plug- in that you can use for submitting your website to directories if it comes with you as plan.

This Firefox plug-in is free and downloadable, just try and find or search for the Firefox plug-in options for your Firefox browser. Look for the SEO related plug ins and you choose from the wide range available there, and best thing is that they're totally "FREE".

Just recently, the prestigious Ituloy AngSulong SEO contest was launched and announced at The Fort - Jill's Resto Bar about the Ituloy AngSulong keyword promotion ranking and SEO contest. In this contest, the SEO's involved will have to do more than just the fanatical and traditional SEO tactics.

Everybody else has to use some other ways to win the "triple jackpot" prize. The game is actually about being good in your ways and link building tactics regardless if you would make use of the Philippine SEO standards or be on it's way below the foot and ground status or commonly known as black hat tactics. But using such tactic does not guarantee you won't get banned and eventually kicked off the contest. The only point in this Ituloy AngSulong contest for others is - "WINNING!"

If winning is everything, then as far as my opinion is concern, i wouldn't want to join the Ituloy AngSulong contest. In the first place if it would do no good for me in becoming the best SEO and marketing professional with the use of cheap tactics,i'd gladly decline joining.

I know that many will criticize this post of mine about the subject matter but my only purpose is to make SEO's in the Philippines realize that being great does not necessarily mean using or going for below the ground tactics just to satisfy our ego-centric desires of winning. After all winning the Ituloy AngSulong is not everything if you won't learn anything from it. No, no, no, said old joe.

Because if i were to join the Ituloy Angsulong contest, then i will make sure that i will win using my own conventional and modified tactics and sorting out for a prestigious technique of my own instead of just using those "degrading" and below the belt tactics like spamming, hidden links and cloaking. It would be very obvious to use in this contest.

Remember that in this Ituloy AngSulong contest, you have to be a little bit sensitive because you as a participant will carry the big workload and responsibility to give it your all without sacrificing the whole pizza where many others are hoping to get their bite and income out of. Just don't take other decent SEO's for granted in order to win the Ituloy AngSulong contest please...

Ituloy AngSulong and The Density Experiment

Everybody has been busy with the different types of promotions involved in the Ituloy AngSulong SEO ( Search Engine Optimization )contest these past few days since it was announced last October in the Blogcon at Jill's Resto Bar in The Fort.

While the participants are all doing whatever it would take and is there to achieve the highest ranking in the virtual SERP's, i am doing my own little experiment i can only name as "The Density Experiment" .

This Density Experiment is actually an experiment that i intend to keep until i come up with a concrete basis to the theory i have in mind developed just this past few days while doing promotions involving the Ituloy AngSulong SEO contest.

This experiment is about SEO and i cannot name the prime factor and major role player to fulfill the needed results because it might just ruin the experiment itself and kill the excitement that had developed in my playful mind.

I came up with the idea while i was looking for links to a certain participant of the Ituloy Angsulong contest. i started to ask a question to myself, how come the enormous amount of links and backlinks and not even given the importance in terms of PR?

If what the readers of this blog had in mind is the keyword density, you are damn wrong about it. It has nothing to do with keywords at all but i must admit that it does have something to do with link building which is my primary job right now.

To those who might just be interested in the results of this experiment which i intend to burst out and boast of sometime in the future which to now i don't really know of yet, just play wait and see.

Ituloy AngSulong and SEO

I'm surprised just this morning when i opened my firefox browser and started searching for the indexed sites on the keyword Ituloy AngSulong for the Ituloy AngSulong keyword ranking SEO contest because the website that i'm currently doing promotions with http://palconit.com is in the top #1 slot of the first page in ituloy angsulong keyword when just last night we were in #85. Although Yahoo is not that hard to rank in comparison to Google, at least we are one point above other Ituloy AngSulong participants to the Ituloy AngSulong SEO contest.

My oh my, this is going to be great i guess because i am not on the full throttle mode yet in promoting the website. I am currently just doing directory submissions. Me and my client, the owner of the website himself, Alfredo Palconit is on Web Design Outsourcing Business and is currently planning on doing SEO Outsourcing and right now he has different clients all over the different fields of businesses.

I just hope we stay #1, all the way, come February next year because it will serve as one of my tokens as a link-building strategist in the Philippine SEO community. right now i am doing other link-building promotions for big companies based here in the Philippines varying from call centers, call center outsourcing firms, telemarketing outsourcing companies, BPO outsourcing companies, microscope distributors, antiques dealers, food and beverage exporters, adsense affiliate marketers as outsourced projects and i hope to increase them more this coming year with two other partners doing the job.

Ituloy AngSulong Year Ender SEO Contest

Before my past few posts, all i was thinking of is spending my time doing forum posts that i have been fond of lately as part of promotions on my outsourced jobs related to Search Engine Marketing. After i learned that the professional SEO's here in the Philippines is busy doing marketing and thinking and brainstorming about strategies on how to improve rankings with the keyword "Ituloy AngSulong" which is about the newly launched Ituloy AngSulong SEO keyword promotion contest, i started to shift my gears and take it to the quinta mode.

It was actually a first hand information that i was able to gossip from the previously held SEO congress last October 28 at The Fort's Jill's resto bar where the actual announcement of the Ituloy AngSulong contest was finally announced by Marc Macalua of SEO Philipines who personally got the priviledge to be the one to tell the crowd that night that the actual keyword target for promotion is Ituloy AngSulong and also about the contest prizes and rules.

Even if one of the most important announcement that night is about the Google campus opening here in the Philippines, the SEO buffs present in the occasion are more eager at hearing the details of the contest, than the first, specially the prize and the actual keyword (Ituloy AngSulong) which is the most sought after by everyone. A text or two might have mattered that night but i still believe in virtue of being smart. And like me, i don't really intend to bite on the contest prize and prestige because right now i am involved with so many SEM projects and my intention is to get involved indirectly in a way but get some of the credits as part of the winning domain owner.

Frankly, i am offering my personal promotion techniques as an outsourced venue to those who are registered in the contest and hopefully make it big in the SEO community and be recognized to be part of the Search Engine Marketing process involved in winning the contest. A rough ten percent (10%) of all your winning takes i would estimate is fair enough. The promotion would include all sorts of Search Engine Marketing techniques that i know and have discovered lately. The period of promotion of course will last up to the last second of the contest.
