My Search Engine Optimization Tasks

Over the last few weeks, i have been looking at my website and those that i work on and seeing what i could do to make them more search engine optimized.

My main aim online is to make new acquaintances, make business deals and new corporate partners.

Whilst doing this, i learn many things and i have taken a keen interest into the search engine industry; including, domain names (URLS), data centres, Link Sales, Website Directories, Advertising and website programming.

As you can see from this blog, i take all of these into account and do my best to give a step by step guide for webmasters which is not only simple to understand, but teaches many new methods which you they can use.

Whether i am working on HTML, PHP or MySQL (Databases); I am still working with the search engine optimization and website hosting business to learn new things and to write guides for others.

Is Google De-Valuing Link Directories?

There have been talks for weeks about Google, taking those steps to de-value link directories and the links that are contained within them.

Search Engine Watch Forums Moderator, DaveN, feels that Google is targeting directories, by that he means, devaluing the links from directories. He bases this statement on the large amount of recent data he collected. For those not familiar with DaveN, he is someone who might be referred to as an "algo chaser." In other words, he is one of the guys that make the search engines better by exposing loopholes within the algorithms.

Of course, most of us would just push off such a statement. Google, Yahoo, Ask, MSN and all the search engines recommend getting quality inbound links. Some even say that you should get them from directories. Heck, Yahoo and MSN promote paid directories, Google uses the ODP.

But if one would think about it more. The way this industry has been going follows this sort of pattern. Search engines like variable X. Some SEOs look for ways to exploit the variable X. Search engines have to move away from liking X and then move on to Y. The process repeats, over and over again. So maybe DaveN is right.
