New Google Terms of Service - Shared Endorsement Settings and Your Name and Photo in Ads and Google Products

Who would like to share their personal profile in the internet these days? I bet many of us do but what if issues of privacy and publicity of confidential information is involved? Well, just giving you something spicy this morning about what the new Google terms of service had to say about these issues which happen to be included in their new terms plus advertising and other commercial contexts.

Fixing My Blog's Link Profile

Little by little, in my own small ways, I will be taking out all the unnecessary links to and from this blog. My purpose? To get the old identity that was taken away by carelessness and countless experiments to mastering how to rank in the search engines.

Today, the first move however, is to take out the links from my comments section. I am now welcoming new and beneficial comments to this very old SEO blog of mine while fixing my link profile and trying to see if it gets back the old rankings by doing small good deeds for it. Related or not, I have just removed all comment links.

This is a day to remember for me. As for now - all comment links out!

Making SEO Life Simple by Writing with your Heart and Acquiring Good Authority Links Naturally

It is never too late to acquire great compelling and authority links if you are a SEO by heart like me. I have done so many wrongs and goods in my online life that I can't afford to do more of them. I would rather make SEO life simple by writing with my heart and with what I find easy to comprehend especially by newbies out there.

What's In It for Google's Hummingbird Update and Adwords had to do with It?

True, all that businesses want it to be able to survive and go along with whatever search engine algorithm changes it will implement as a penalty to those they do not want to appear on top of their search results. But what really is it for Google?

Basically, with the way that the big G has implemented the recent changes, I would like to say that it is a shortcoming for many of the big businesses like what USA Today has just revealed hit by Hummingbird.

According to data, the merged attack affected 90% of the world search results. Just imagine these biggies to get hit by the latest update - Demand Media, TripAdvisor, Bankrate.com, Yelp and WebMD.

What can you expect? Big G wants all of these sites to opt in and pay for their Adwords advertising cost instead of getting the biggest share of traffic from their search results. After all, remember that the search is a multi billion dollar industry that Google has just dominated for years now.

Deleting Profile or Website in Google Analytics

Today, I was able to put back access to this very old blogger account and found out that there were some websites that are no longer part of my set of blogspot blog accounts. I must've deleted them somewhere along the way but what I want is to delete this profile because I can still find this blog on the set of sites I own and manage on my Google Analytics. I wanted it to be removed to avoid confusion that I still manage it and to ward off trash on my account.

SEO Has Not Changed, Search Engines Did - It Still Works!

It has been buzz all over the SEO community all over the world that a new fight will soon be out against Google's mighty algorithm changes. The fact is, each and every day, we all don't know whether changes will occur or not. Another fact is that Google's Penguin has devastated multiple businesses, some of them are legit and some are not. But what remains is the question whether to continue doing SEO or not.

Well for me and my sites, all I really need is someone to write content for me and someone to build links for my sites. SEO will never die, contrary to what link bait-minded people had been bragging all over the internet. The algorithm will always continue to get implementations that are based in numbers, period!

There will never be a search engine that is too intelligent to know which works and which doesn't when it comes to numbers. Yes, there were times when quality may be at stake and the search engines might know about them the factors that determine them will always and forever be based in numbers or quantity. It's another issue thinking about the quality of those like for example, the links pointing to a page and outbound links that it throws away to relevant quality pages.

In the end, Jonathan Leger is right, SEO still works just like it does back in 2004.

To avoid penguin, don't build links, just get more reputation

So how do you really build online reputation? There are a number of ways and I may not be able to enumerate them all here on my blog but chances are, most of my visitors know that and processes involved to be able to build reputation for a company website. I'll be enumerating some thoughts below but if you have anything else to add up to my list, please feel free to do so using my comments section.

Get a Link Wheel Made of 4 Tiers (40 Blogs) for $20

How do you get a 4 tier link wheel? Simple, by my standards, I use 40 blogs, 1 tier consists of 10 blogs to be exact in simple terms. Now if if you want a link wheel with 4 tiers as you can see in the image for a 1 tier link wheel beside.

1 Tier Link Wheel

My 1 tier link wheel consists of (as stated above) 10 blogs linking to the next with a relevant target anchor text and another linkout that points to the money site or main site being promoted.

Linking

What makes my link wheel as I've proven effective is that I use all relevant targetted titles on each blog or article post I make. Aside from this, I make sure that the links were put on the first paragraph for the linkout to the main site or money site. The secondary link which is the linkout to the next article will be placed in the latter part of the article. This is because we all know that link prominence is very important in SEO. A prominent place of the link is very important. I also make sure that the last site/blog linking to the money site will have a "nofollow" attribute. The purpose of this is to break the linking footprint so Google won't find any intended linking structure. I also make sure the second link will be non-identical to the first link which is linking to the money site.

If you ever want this service from me, my rules and requirements are simple and you can see them below.

1. I don't accept po*n, no gam*ling, dru*s or other illegal promotions and sites too.

My Rules in Approving Comments

This is to all who have tried and failed to get a link from this SEO blog. First, in order to get your comment approved, you have to read my articles and then afterwards, convince me with your comment that you indeed read my article. Once you fail here, your comment will either be placed in my spam folder or will be deleted.

Now, I have seen so many generic comments and I must say I have them very much. Look at this wrong SEO comments that led me to write an article criticizing the website, the service and the link builders behind the annoying comment left on my blog.

If you want to ruin your company profile, follow this link builder and on the other hand, if you want a comment approved, then make a relevant useful comment. To the least is, I need a relevant comment. By relevant what I mean is that I need a relevant comment to my article with which you want a comment approved.

Google Search with Instant Pages becomes faster, Firefox gets slower with the beta 4.0 release

I recently downloaded the Firefox 4 beta version but it failed my expectations. I didn't know where or what went wrong but for one thing, my experience with Firefox has never been so disappointing after the download. It destroyed one of my PCs for loading so slow and eventually, me trying to execute more commands trying to see what is wrong with the slow loading of pages.

Well, anyway, I still feel good that I was able to find out a way how to to revert my PC to the old version of 3.6. It even helped me get back to my work later on. By the way, I just had new video watched today regarding Google Search and how fast their index gives results to loading pages and if you want to find out what I just watched from YouTube Google channel, watch it below and see for yourself.

Local SEO outsourcing companies and ruining company profile

I don't know if I want to call it good SEO practice for local SEO companies offering their services and promoting it by hiring a link building team to make spammy comments or to the least build backlinks using link builders that do not know the value of the comment itself leaving unnatural generic words behind their company's name. For me it's not a good practice. This might add more damage than of use in the long run.

Take for example this SEO services company url - http://www.myoptimind.com/seo-services.html. People behind this company (might just be) have been boggling my SEO blog for quite some time now trying to get relevant links from my blog via spammy and robot-sounding generic comments of praise. I'm not sure if the people behind the comments are actually from the company itself but I were the owner I'd go check what my link builders are doing. It's really easy to find out if they are doing it by searching for their links, Where they come from, there must be more useless comments hanging under their company's name.

Honestly, if you offer services related to SEO, you don't send just someone without the right knowlege to make comments and get links for your company website without checking or at least giving a guide on how to do it for you.

Remember that possible clients will always go check your company profile and if in case they see what you do to get links to your website, they might just see the type of blog commenting your link building team is doing and might decide not to take your services instead. In the long run, you are actually building a profile where you are trying to dig your own company's death in the industry of SEO.

I have done the same mistake before and I must admit back then, I am not yet knowlegeable at how to make a good link without repeating your comment on and on and on. I made the mistake that I cannot take back so I just wish you guys who want to leave a comment to my blog, be careful. Make a good comment, a relevant one as much as possible and not just some fake praises. Believe me, it's not worth it. I hope the owner of this local SEO company wakes up and try to teach their link builders to do things right. There is no turning back once a comment is posted under a company's name so make sure it is your best.

Firefox 4 Download: What happened to my addons?

Yesterday was a great day for me as Firefox has finally asked me once again if I wanted to download Firefox 4 which according to the people behind would be at least 6 times faster? Well I am not questioning the speed today after using the medium / browser since last night. What happened was a big mistake it seems as although I found out later on that I can still control my plugins and addons in the addon manager, I was not able to use the informenter addon for quite a while since yesterday.

The big deal today is that we all know SEOs out there need that addon for SEO and link building purposes. Well at lest here in my case so I was not able to make links come to sites of my clients as well as to the sites that I own simply because I had Firefox 4 downloaded as my new browser. I gave my e-mail to Firefox and it was listed that I am the 18th dude to have his plugins/addons lost and useless.

If you wanted to risk anyway, here is the Firefox 4 free download. Good luck!

Dofollow Once Again for SEO

After changing my template to a default by blogger, this blog for a short while became "nofollow" which means that all my links will not be passed the link juice that this blog had which is coming from my PR 3 trust rank from Google. Now, I finally found time to put back this SEO Outsourcing blog into a "dofollow" state with respect to my links.

But warning to all those who will be making their comments that I will be a little bit harder in approving all your comments. This blog before it was orphaned receives more than 10 comments per day and I am having a hard time approving all my visitor's comments. Now that this blog had a PR 3, I will make it even harder for comments to pass through and get approved.

If you want link juice from this blog, then make a good comment first. It is important for me, the owner, Sam Casuncad to get comments that are not spammy but helpful in my content and would end up adding more relevance to my original topic of discussion. Sorry for those who will just leave their trash, you won't get what you want that way.

Finally Finding way to post more about Search Engine Optimization

It's been a very long time since I orphaned this SEO blog of mine and now that I found a way to post anew since Google tried to lock this blog up and delete it from the index. Now that it's back from the sandbox, I wanted to post more great articles that tell about SEO in the Pinoy point of view. I want to take pride at posting only relevant experience with respect to my being a SEO corporate blogger and I want it to be my topic of writeups from now on.

Another orphaned blog, a personal one is what I am looking to post more about soon. I wanted to take care of this account and blogs that has helped me become a better internet guy and not just the average one. I have turned into an SEO corporate blogger trying to fix things up for brands and blogging about business promotion and personal profile promotion as well. If by chance any of you comes to stumble upon this short update note and you are interested to get my services, you can try to contact me personally here - samcasuncadatsem-prosdotcom or seoptimizersatyahoodotcom. Have a nice day!

Last Few Trials for Sikat Ang Pinoy blogging contest

The SEO blogging contest, "Sikat Ang Pinoy" is almost over and I personally know that some of the participants may feel that there is nothing they can do to top the results by 12:00 noon. But to my experience, there is always a good thing to know that indeed there is always something else to do more than just sit and wait unless you think and know that you have used up all your resources for the deeds to do.
