Myspace marketing was once a great way for PR and SERPS but now they have a URL shortener that kills your direct links. You were able to blast comments and get an insane amount of back links daily but they killed it. IT is down but not gone. If you have a site that can be fueled by direct traffic like image uploaders or a cool content site that needs pure viewers to spread then it is still perfect. So SEO and PR pointless, traffic and spreadable content = Gold.
People take this shrewd piece of information as fact and it is pretty absurd. Some people think by giving external links that it hurts their own PR. External links from your site has nothing to do with your PR. If you have 10 external links on a PR5 site you are dividing the PR you send out by 10. If you give a hundred links you are dividing it by 100. Yet this does not harm your PR, you are not giving yours away, you use your clout to vote for other sites. Nothing more. so by having more links your vote does not count as high but you do not hurt yourself in anyway. You could trade 10,000 links and still have great PR, your site would be full of crap and look bad but it would hurt you none..
Ok this is a very quick and simple explanation of getting your site up in search engines for your choice of keywords or phrases. Simple get as many relevant links to your site, different pages of course with different variations. The bigger the Keyword the More links you need. I have taken over Keywords with just a couple links. And i have had thousands and not come close. Just depends on the keyword.
Another blog ad company i took a test run on was Pay Per Post. I got a coupon from a forum a while back so i gave it a try. You have a lot of control over your posts, what PR they go on, what Alexa range and categories. They charge a 1/3 charge on whatever the bloggers get. It was a nice run and also helped PR and SERPS. Once again it helps drive some traffic if you get decent blogs. They also have PPP Direct if you are looking for specific blogs. It is actually a lot cheaper if you go that route.
With all the new advertisement companies out there i have noticed a large hike in blogs. Many of them are around for money but there is still a lot out there that are just for fun. I have couple i just post on strictly for fun. No ads of any kind. They are there for the sole purpose of sharing my views and opinions no matter how much they dick people off. Do you Blog for fun or money???
Many people start out for fun but quickly turns to money. It is a good market with plenty of need for it.
This is a nifty little program that allows you to earn points from links and you can use them to get thousands of other links in return. This is a cheap looking banner but their program is decent. They have to many Russian sites but it all works for PR.
Check them out and see if you dig it. Works flawless on WP sites with decent PR.
I am a video junky and in about a week or so Halo 3 is going to drop. I will be on it like a fiend. I was a huge Halo 2 nut and well i just can not wait for this. I am stoked about the ranking system. I got hooked on ranks in Rainbow Six Vegas. Heard they have some new vehicles and got some new weapons and spruced up some old ones. I will miss some of the old levels they are not gonna include in this one but hey we will get new ones. Here is the trailer.
The all time best way to get PR and Serps is trading links. If you can find webmasters with sucesful sites who do not know what PR is and you trade relevant links you can jump so high in PR and in SERPs. Say someone has a PR6 and you have a PR1 site and they don’t realize what PR is then they will likely trade you and it is so much better for you than them. That PR6 link will jump you to a PR4 if not even a PR5. Trade as many as you can.
One of the better experiments i have a ran is with PayU2Blog. I cost a few dollars per post you run but it is great for SEO and to drive some traffic. It is freeform so the basically write a story surrounding your keyword or phrase. With a small campaign i ran i got a boost in PR and boosted up in my keywords.
Ok this is one of the most annoying things that i hear people tell other about SEO. And that is the bad neighborhood theory. Well a few years back it was true. If you had a link on a bad site it could hurt you. Well in last few years this has not been the case. Worse case scenario the link is voided, and no it can not hurt you in anyway.
