Ituloy AngSulong: Death of Linkbaiting Through Juicy Content

From the start of the Ituloy AngSulong contest here most of the Philippine webmasters battled for the prestige of winning the most prestigious SEO contest ever to air in the Philippine SEO community, i suspected that something out of the contest would arise to suffer and i preempted it to be something related to linkbaiting through juicy contents। This link building contest is one of the best ways to show off the link building techniques that a webmaster can do in the web today. Since link building is the most important factor in any SEO contest in gaining the popularity that a registered site needs, i assumed that the Ituloy AngSulong contest would let out the best contents and at the same time the least important ones. The juice of the contents will be one of the first to suffer and the first to ignite popularity in terms of linkbaiting. Also since most of the contest registrants are blog sites, then, content is really of relevance and utmost priority.

Linkbaiting is by the way the terms of getting the links that a site needs in order to gain page importance and site trust from search engines. If link baiting through providing juicy contents is the way by which a blog site or any other site gets the linkbaiting links that it needs to gain the page importance in order to gain rankings in the SERP of search engines, then i can simply conclude that these juicy contents are gone in some ways because most sites are in the process of experimenting in terms of keyword density, most of the contest registrants would go for the spammy keyword repetitions on their contents and i say i have seen lots of it. This led me to believe that linkbaiting through juicy contents is gone.

Of course i cannot simply say that all of it is on its way to the brink of extinction, it just, if i may say, contribute to the growing population of putting spammy contents in most blogs and since i have seen many doing or following this trend and gained popularity, and respect from search engines, then the followers of spammy and the not so juicy contents of linkbaiting is growing support this way.

The Ituloy AngSulong End

Let me write something that does not take the interest of other bloggers and blog fanatics this time. It's about the Ituloy AngSulong and the different types of endings that it has scripted on the registered sites who joined the contest as dubbed to be the most prestigious so far of the two SEO keyword ranking contest that happened in the Philippines.

Unlike the first registered contest titled Isulong seoph, this time some of the better and maybe the best of the link builders had joined the contest just to show off some styles which i luckily have gained up for my own link building strategies। I'd like to personally thank all the contestants because i was able to learn so many things specially the stuffs that i never expected existed in the SEO and link building world that i am in right now. I admit, i had so many things to learn yet but i would also like to give a target date for me learning other link building techniques that both black hats and white hats employ to their link building jobs and personal duties with respect to SEO.

I just feel lucky as write this blog post because i did not join the contest. there were many hopeful and hopeless winners that came up with the last minute stats and some of them ended up dismayed at the results like those that got banned days away from the actual end of the contest. Some entries even got sandboxed by MSN or Google. Speaking of sandboxed sites, i never heard that MSN did so to some site until in this contest emerged some of them that even had high rankings up to the top ten spots or so that got sandboxed days before the contest ends.

A friend of mine vying for the top ten spot in MSN lost his site rankings and even in the virtual SERP results when the sandboxing happened. It was supposed to be as smooth as the silken bed covers until this started to happen for some entries to the contest.

Another top spotter lost his rankings a month before the contest ends but he was lucky to gain his rankings and ended as one of the top ten in SERP on Google. Yahoo has been very cooperative to most because i never heard any complaints or is it maybe i was just busy seeing through the results in MSN and Google alone since the sites that i am promoting that time is ranking well in Yahoo and in fact he got the second spot in the contest for Yahoo alone.

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.
