SEO - Whose the best? Watch out Europe! the Yanks are Coming!

Who is the best at SEO?

More precisely which country in the world produces the best SEO'rs?

By SEO, I mean quite simply results - top rankings in Google for difficult keywords on a continual ongoing basis!

Why am I asking this?

Well the Google SERPs speak for themselves and when you've been studying them for years, you notice patterns!

One thing that I've always been aware of is the geographical influence of sets of results influencing the SERPS.

Living in the UK I am constantly cross checking results from Google.com, Google.co.uk and thanks to some great American black hat tools, many other Google servers.

During the last six months I noticed a surge, no even a Tsunami! of sets of results that can only be traced back to National intelligence on behalf of the page submitters!

Yep Some Nations are much better at SEO than others!

Maybe we should hold a World Cup! Mondiale SEOle!

Google has noticed too!

And guess what my buddies over at Gooogly house are pissed off!

WW3 a new world internet protocol awaits the perps!

According to Matt C they are sending the Witchfinder General's right hand henchman a certain Mr Brian White over to Europe to 'sought us EUROPEANS out!

"Over there! Over there!"

Hurrah The Yanks are coming and they're going to save us all from SPAM!



Watch the video............ http://videos.webpronews.com/2006/11/21/pubcon-exclusive-interview-with-matt-cutts/

So Why Europe?

Why do all the American SEO Conference interviewers think that the UK is a hot bed of black hatters? (Tee Hee!). Yeah especially when all the black hat techniques have come from the States originally!

No for spam you've only got to look as far as Eastern Europe where some serious attacks have recently originated from, and still to this day do!

Mr White washes Whiter - We should all agree!

SEO GoogleTesting reveals Social Bookmarking & Blog spam gives Top SERPS!

Just to let you know that The System has noticed while testing that Google SERPS are currently definitely favouring Wisdom of crowds and noise results, such as social bookmarking and blog spam.

I've today seen some bookmarking tag pages show up on the first page of Google for highly competitive keywords - clipmark seems to be in favour at the moment - personally I think its probably due to the enormous amount of people using automated social bookmarking tools.

It'll be interesting to see how long the spam lasts for .... the problem is one wave of spammers is constantly followed by another....it's the wisdom of the cheap Indian labour force... and there are a billion of them!!

Keep bookmarking

Watching Googles SERPs being manipulated - Blog Spam and how to do it properly

We don't teach you these trick's here, well we do actually, but what we don't do is advocate them for long term SERP success at Google and definitely not for creating an optimized network structure.....however these tactics will bring you short term success and if the keyword is rich enough - lots of filthy lucre.

You do have to spend quite a bit of money upfront on Indian SEO services though, but if you do it right and more importantly in the right places, then the riches can be milked from the traffic before you get whacked by Google....even better if you let someone else do all the work (like the Indians), but we'll talk about that later.....

So what am I talking about?

In a couple of words - Web 2.0 comment spam! Blog Link Spam!



I'm talking about paying lots of Indians (under the pathetic guise of SEO services) to go and make hundreds or thousands of comments on blogs (and other social media websites) that allow you to, all over the world, thus building up authority via the wisdom of crowds that Googles ranking algo relies upon.

More explicitly the wisdom of the crowds that is determined through one way links from authority sites using Kansky's algorithm of nodal authority.

So who is doing this and where is it working?

(Did I detect squirms from many of our readers? - don't worry its not you we're outing today!)

Unless you are Australian! (Cmon chaps the Ashes is starting isn't it!!!)

I'm going to show you an example of who is doing this, how it works and also how to take advantage of someone elses spam!

Right, one of first things we teach here at The System is to keep an eye on your keywords, particularly the SERPs for your targetted keywords.
Pay particular attention to who else is in the market - your competition - who are they? why are they there? where are they getting their links from?

So when we started to see an AUSTRALIAN Website shooting up the rankings for a very competitive keyword - we want to know WHY?

More importantly we want to confirm our suspicions, because we remembered the cheeky POMS had spammed our blogs a few weeks before!
(By the ways it's you Australians that are POHM'S - Prisoners Of Her Majesty)

So who are we talking about- well a website that has been giving Moneysupermarket.com a run for it's money (on SEO services).....

Ratedetective.com.au!

Check out their backlinks on Yahoo.com Spam and drill down for links to a particular product that they have been spamming like Income Protection

Visit the blogs and you will see that they have made lots of posts using Indian SEO services, using the keyword Income protection thus benefiting from the name/site link alllowed on most blogs.
They've mostly signed up as a user, which takes a minute, to take advantage of the keyword user name.

Cheeky Aussie gits - it's not the way to do things long term and if you don't keep the buzz up it will soon drop off - keep an eye of the sites rankings in Google!

Here's a link for Income protection as they, and a few other Choice Australians I could mention, seem to be hitting it as hard as Moneysupermarket do!

TIP - Take advantage of all those millions of SEO Indians hard work in finding these FFA links and post away to your hearts content - if you can't beat them - join them

It's the Wisdom of Crowds!

SO HERE'S HOW TO GET LINKS PROPERLY WITHOUT PENALTY

Now here's how to do it using optimized networks constructed of RSS! (don't bother to click the link - it's a recursive one to make sure I still rank No.1 for that term when people start to copy my ideas!



Think RSS! it satisfies the 4 necessities demanded by the wisdom of the crowds!

RSS is the wisdom of the crowd - you dont PUSH it on people - People CHOOSE it!

RSS is the solution!

Google revises No Follow rules - Oh Yeah!

Here's an interesting post about page rank sculpting or black hole funnelling as we call it.

Google’s Changes to Nofollow Management Undermine PageRank Sculpting
Posted by Rene LeMerle

Google’s revealed that the advanced SEO practice of PageRank sculpting will be far less effective as it’s changed the rules on nofollow.

For those of you unfamiliar with the concept of PageRank sculpting, here’s a brief explanation.

Let’s assume we have a web page that carries a Google PageRank of 8. (PageRank is Google’s assessment of a pages importance on a scale of 0 – 10).

If this web page links to 4 other pages within the site, it’s believed that it then parses equal amounts of its PageRank on to the destinations pages via the links (i.e. each page receives 2 of its 8 PR points).

PageRank Sculpting involves the use of nofollow tags on links to control where the PageRank value flows within a website. So if two of the links above had nofollow tags added, then the other 2 pages would get 4 of the original pages PR points.

pr-sculpting

So as you can see – webmasters could bolster the PageRank (and hopefully Google Ranking) of certain pages in a website through controlling PR flow.

Well Google’s public SEO voice, Matt Cutts, has revealed that Google’s management of nofollow has changed – potentially rendering the practice of basic PageRank sculpting useless. (NOTE: sculpting can involve more than just using nofollow)

According to Cutts, Google will no longer allow webmasters to build up link juice and funnel it to certain pages. If nofollow is used on links, the other pages wont get a PR boost – instead they’ll just receive the same PR value they would have, if all the links were followed.

So alas – this could be the end of PR sculpting as we know it. Given the announcement was made during a Q&A session at a conference; webmasters will be waiting patiently for an official statement on the policy from Google.

Will this change to nofollow impact your SEO efforts? If you’re currently use PageRank Sculpting - share some other ways you manage the flow of PR on your website…

Hmm

Well if you've been following the systems analysis of order you would know that we dont agree with the way that Google is supposed to parse PR as described within, however keeping an eye on Mr Cutts is worthwhile!

What is useful is this.

In an internet marketing optimized network structure, the links would be single keyword connectors , one to a page named the same. If there are no other links out then all the link juice flows to the desired funnel tip - your money page.

Beat that Cuttsy!

Banned from Google?

Have you ever had your site removed from the Google Index for being naughty?

We have! Years ago we spent thousands of GBPs on paid links from newspapers and DMOZ editors to blag our way to the top for the term 'Car Insurance'. We got banned Moneysupermarket.com didn't! There's no justice - but you shouldn't expect any anyway!

Now you've got to be either stupid or suicidal to get yourself banned these days. Yes the big boys 'Buy' paid links by the thousands on a constant and continual basis, but the won't get flagged up amongst the millions of links they've got through other time served methods. They can't 'buy' every searched for kwyword phrase and there are rich pickings for the smaller fish on the feeding grounds where the sharks hang out!

Funnily enough in reality it's the sharks who have the long tails!

So my little newbies, follow the Google webmaster guidelines and your site won't get removed!

The System teaches you to be good on your own site and hang out with the sharks!

If you have had your site removed from Google's Index take a look at this video from The Google Search Quality and SPAM team.
