I’ve done some experiments over the past few months about expiring domains with PR to see if it is worth your while to catch these expired and deleted domains.

My idea why I would like to use expired domains is the notion that old domains are favored than new domains, and to get instant PR.

So I set out to find deleted domains with PR that I can register. One characteristic of domains I was looking for was that the domain still had a PR, and it was still listed in google.

I won’t be mentioning the actual domains here as I need to control the results and prevent people from making backlinks to these domains.

I registered about 4 domains, some have PR2 and PR3. Some have a few pages indexed, some have a few thousand. I also bought a couple of new domains for my new projects.

I found out that google rarely visits these domains so I need to prime it but with some fresh backlinks. After creating some backlinks to these domains, two domains eventually lost their PR. These two domains have only a few pages indexed in google. In one domain, I did a 301 permanent redirect to the new index page. This domain retained its PR. One key difference this domain has compared to the other two is that this domain has thousands of pages indexed in google.

In another domain, I did a 301 and redirect it to a fresh new domain. The result is that the new domain got indexed faster and more pages were indexed compared to another new domain I registered at the same time. However, PR was down to 0.

What is Search Engine Marketing

If you’re an advertiser, you probably know already that your visibility in search engine results pages (SERP) is of vital importance. What good is a website if nobody knows about it and you’re not getting users visiting it? E-commerce is a numbers game; it’s just a given that if your products and services are worthwhile, you’re going to get a lot better sales (”conversions”) if you have more people actually visiting the site to check you out.

SEM, then, aims to fine-tune your SERP standing by:

• Using search (SEO) strategies)
• Using paid placement and paid inclusion
• Using Mobile Advertising

We’ll discuss all of these ideas one by one.

Back in those long-gone stone-age days of the Internet (the mid- to late-1990s), search engines began to appear, as indexes that would help people find information, products or services quickly. It wasn’t long before business models began to evolve around search engines (as ways to actually finance their presence and services), with the first pay per click programs being developed by Open Text in the mid-90s. Between then and now, pay-per-click (PPC) has proved to be the primary money maker for search engine companies. Search engine marketing, then, has evolved to become an over-arching term that takes in several facets of Internet marketing.

Search Engine Optimization

Google, Yahoo and Bing have a set of 200 or so factors that affect page rank for a website. Much of what goes into their algorithms and the parameters for search engine results is fairly secretive, and the companies keep changing and scrambling some of these factors a few times a year (so that unscrupulous webmasters can’t figure out ways to “game the system” and manipulate the various factors to get page ranks that are unfairly high). What SEO experts do agree on, though, is that the following are all…

When people hear that links hold weight with the search engines, the first thing they do is comb the website looking for people to link with. They don’t pay attention to whether these links are incoming or reciprocal links; instead they focus on any and every link they can find. Because all links do not hold the same value, beware of links that don’t benefit your website. It is important to understand which links draw attention to your site and which ones have no value at all. In some cases having too many outbound links can hurt your search engine rankings.

What Are The Best Links?

First, you want to have links pointing to your website and not vice versa. When the search engine spiders crawl your web pages and they detect the links pointing to your site and pointing from your site. Links pointing to your site is a sign that you are important, that your website has value and that is why other websites have your link on their page.

You always want links that are relevant to your niche. For example, if you are promoting designer dog collars, having a link for auto parts will not be of any value to you because it is totally irrelevant.

You should pick and choose your links carefully. It is said that sites that have been up for a long time have value, but this isn’t always the case. Sites that aren’t updated are crawled less frequently by the search engines and therefore, being linked to these sites won’t help you much. You are looking for sites with quality content, frequent updates, and that have some relevance to what you are promoting.

What Are The Worst Links?

Paid links or link farms should be avoided. While the offers may look appealing, these…

I like Twitter, but I see a great unfulfilled potential in it.  Travelling through “Tweeterville” we have all come across the Twitterer, who retweets the same “get rich quick” message over and over again and yet have somehow managed to hold onto 112,876 followers.   

When you click on their too often repeated links, they generally take you to some cheesy print ad or six minute YouTube video extolling the virtues of their - can’t miss - online training course geared to the masses.  I just don’t get it.   

I thought Social Media is supposed to be all about cordially sharing helpful information rather than blatant and repetitive sales pitches.  I can’t imagine why 97% of those following the purveyors of limited value information do not just “unfollow” these people by the third repeat of the same sales pitch.  Am I missing something here?  If so, please fill me in.

I do get it that we are all different people with different reasons for signing on to Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and other Social Media sites, in the first place.  With the exception of LinkedIn and a few other like-minded suit and tie sites, the majority of Social Media platforms are geared to social rather than business exchange.   They call it “Social” Media.

If I want to discuss Monday Night Football or the last episode of “House,” I probably wouldn’t go looking for Twitter, Facebook or MySpace friends, who prefer to discuss the latest innovations in CRM the entire weekend.  Frankly, I can’t see anyone being interested in connecting with a one-dimensional snake oil salesman, whose only interest is to increase his or her follower count so that all these people can be subjected to the same trite sales pitch seventy-five times per month.  Still, there are many example of this in Twitter, especially…

Many people have been led to believe that the eBay affiliate program is one of the toughest and most cumbersome affiliate programs available and that penetrating this unfamiliar terrain is like searching for a needle in haystack. The good news however is that becoming an eBay affiliate is quite easy and is one of the easiest and straightforward ways of making lots of extra revenue before you even know it. It is no wonder there are so many successful eBay affiliates who have been featured in the site as having made millions of dollars genuinely.

The process entails placing a link to a particular category or auction on eBay and once a potential client clicks on the link and ends up buying the product advertised on the link, (which many of them do), you end up getting an agreed upon percentage of the total price of the sale of the given product. The best thing about the eBay affiliate program is that it is a practical one for anyone be it an online seller, internet researcher, webmasters, and even partners. Promoting the website can be done through eBay articles, a vast collection of banners, through text links, and placing classified links.

eBay even allows you to download snippets of codes from the official eBay website and place a whole category of auctions on your website. The process is so advanced that the content updates automatically hence you would not have to worry about wasting time learning how to stage-manage the html code. The eBay affiliate program is a lucrative one in that the top 25 affiliates listed on the official eBay website earn well over 100k each month in commissions. Most of these affiliates, if not all, use a combination of the abovementioned methodologies to reap such huge profits.

Keep in mind that…

To be quite honest, when I first picked up Authority Job Killer, I was pretty skeptical. I thought it was just one of those bluff products out there that were full of nonsense and doesn’t 
really work. But right now, after reading everything and starting to implement the things I’ve learnt so far, I must say that I’m really satisfied with what I’m seeing.
A few months back, I was still a regular employee working in a small company. Work was hectic and never-ending, I’m so busy that everyday I come home feeling all drained and 
wrinkled — I didn’t even have enough time nor energy to play with my kids. Work’s so busy that I had to work on the weekends and I even had to cancel a hiking trip that I promised 
my kids, it sure made my kids really unhappy (so was my wife). I was totally deprived of relaxation and quality family time!
That was when one of my ex-colleague asked me out for dinner. After meeting him, I found out that he quitted his job back then to start his own online business and right now he’s 
earning much more than before, as much as a 5-figure income! Looking at him, I thought to myself, “This isn’t fair!” And so, I started looking at the different eBooks available online 
and wanted to learn more about the market. There were a lot of information out there but as a beginner, I was totally confused by all the complicating principals and strategies. After 
spending a whole month reading up expensive ebooks that I could never understand, I finally went to my ex-colleague and got him to recommend me a few good resources to read up.
Yes, Authority Job Killer is one of them.
Being new to this field, Authority Job Killer helped a lot and it was…

You can quickly get some relevant backlinks to your site by finding blogs in your niche and leaving comments on them. Google and other search engines consider it a sign that you have a quality site when you have one way backlinks, so these are the kind you should look for. You can use Google’s blog search to find relevant blogs and then simply post helpful comments on them.

When you post a comment, you’ll be able to post your link along with it. You should only do this in a respectful way, as you don’t want to be labeled as a spammer. The best way to leverage the blog commenting method is to be productive and add value to the blog in the best possible way. Ideally, you will be meeting other marketers as well as building backlinks, and this can also be very good for you.

Here’s a link building tip that you won’t get anywhere - offer your professional expertise in exchange of backlinks. If have you niche skills such as SEO, web designing, writing logo creation, etc. then you are capable of making it big with the strategy. Once you identify your skill set, the next thing you need to do is directly approach a well-established site and give them an offer from your end. Share with them how you can help improve their site and all you ask for in return is a credit backlink on their page. This is a way to acquire superb branding, particularly if a site with a regular audience accepts your offer.

Lastly, a premium link-building secret you may get is to create content that people desire to link up to. This is the toughest way to build backlinks, but eventually, it pays off for itself. This is the point that many webmasters…

An often overlooked part of a company’s Internet Marketing and public relations strategy is that of Online Reputation Management. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a sophisticated system of processes that work together to increase the rankings for websites based on relevant keywords. SEO is driven by relevant content (articles, blog posts, press releases etc) to increase the relevance of the website specific to the keywords targeted in the content.  SEO is a continuous, ongoing and never ending process simply because the websites are competing with each other for the coveted top positions.  Those who are actively engaged in SEO, generally through a full service Internet Marketing Company, are well ahead of the game due to the fact that they are competing effectively everyday through the development, addition, indexation and syndication of great content.

What if you have not engaged in SEO and you become aware of negative comments, false comments and even smear tactics.  What do you do?  Online Reputation Management Services provides solutions to this dilemma by putting in place a well crafted process to either eliminate, confront / refute or effectively compete with the negativity.

Negative feedback or interactions with any number of online communities can come from a variety of sources, none of which might be controllable at their point of origin. For example, an employee who has been let go and feels indignant about his or her separation, might attack your company in an online chat forum. If it is a popular site, such as Facebook, these inflammatory comments may show up first on a browser search for your company’s name.

Reputation Management Services serve to effectively address any and all online activity that negatively affects your reputation and keep your business looking good. While SEO is the proactive and better choice over the long haul, when negatives occur…
