http://www.letspromoteit.com Viewing a real space launch... Tue, 13 Jan 2009 10:36:24 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I have revamped an ages-old travel-related site (in German language), called Ferientips. This was done a few month ago. The site initially had PR 4, many links have remained the same, yet it is now down to PR 2. I guess that Google noticed a sharp change in the content ... http://www.letspromoteit.com/?p=31 I have just converted one of our old sites, dedicated to a no-longer existing Lotus Notes Antivirus  product, into a very small microsite. Starting with one page, I plan to extend it over time. I will, however, use only very minimal navigation, mostly using the good old way of text-embedded ... http://www.letspromoteit.com/?p=30 Ever since it started, Google AdSense prohibited adult content. Explicit nudity, for example, was (and is) way beyond Google's terms of service. But of course, there is a lot of content that is bordering on the mature content line. In fact, some webmasters play the gamy of trying to get more ... http://www.letspromoteit.com/?p=29 A Google search does always bring up ten sites on the first search result page - that's for sure. Most webmasters try to be among these first ten. But what if you can't make it immediately. From time to time, you'll notice that one of the high ranking pages refers ... http://www.letspromoteit.com/?p=28 I just came across this question: Here is the situation. I owned a website since 2005 and since them it had for the whole time less than 200 backlinks. Website was optimized had all the tags H1, H2 and was optimized for specific keyword in extremely competitive industry (insurance) and was gettgin ... http://www.letspromoteit.com/?p=27 Beginners often ask why there is so a big difference between the backlinks they receive in different search engine. Often, they say we have that large number of backlinks in Yahoo and <your search engine choice here> but Google has only one or two. Does Google ignore your site? Well, that ... http://www.letspromoteit.com/?p=26 As I am broadening the scope of my space flight blog, I have now changed the title from "Viewing a Space Launch" to just "Space Flight". I wonder how this will impact the ranking of my pages. Currently, I rank quite high for a lot of keywords that contain the ... http://www.letspromoteit.com/?p=25 Google has announced in its adsense blog that Adsense Video Units are now being rolled out to the UK, Ireland and Canada. They also speak from good success in the US market (but what else should they say?;)). The key reasoning behind this move is probably that Google likes to keep ... http://www.letspromoteit.com/?p=24 Do you remember my test with a site related to the US greencard lottery? This site contains some real (and hopefully useful) information, but it is a two-pager, with very limited links between them. The site is targeted towards Germans, where the greencard lottery always draws some attention. Other then ... http://www.letspromoteit.com/?p=23 I have done a lot of research since I wrote my original article on Google Trust Rank. I was too interested to track down this beast. First of all, I have to admit that a good number of my technical assumptions and conclusions were simply wrong. My thoughts about this being ... http://www.letspromoteit.com/?p=22
