On the 17th April I did a post on building backlink by commenting on blogs which I have revisited as well as take a look at what others are saying about the topic.

What I have noticed around the blogosphere is that every one is talking about the importance of using anchor keywords/text for the link. Unfortunately with a standard wordpress installation, comments are anchored on the commenter’s name – Which doesn’t really give much in the way of benefit other than just being a backlink.  Read more...

• This one is a toughie as you will find that most of the good domain names have been taken. But don’t let that stop you, chose a similar word or opt for a different tld like .net or .info if .com is taken. Avoid geographical tlds like .co.uk, .co.in, .asia, .ca or the likes unless your niche is specifically targeting those marketplaces. And if a one word domain is not available then use  2 to 3 words joined together, i.e mykillerblog.com – avoid my-killer-blog.com if you can.

Duplicate content? What duplicate content? And what warning?

Yes duplicate content, you know the one that is the same as another piece of content? And the warning by the gurus that you will be penalised by the search engines. Remember that? They called it “Duplicate content penalty”!

I am going to use two very famous lines for this post. (1) “Not a lot of people know that” as uttered by Michael Caine and (2) “you gona like this, not a lot! but you gona like this” as uttered by Paul Daniel’s in his magic show on the BBC.

Ok, here goes: “Not a lot people know that” they can improve their search results with images!  Not just any old image though, an SEO image that is relevant to the post. Once you have this in place you will be surprised at the results, like I said (I mean Michael said) “Not a lot of people know that”  Read more... (353 words, estimated 1:25 mins reading time)
