Not To Be A Thin Affiliate.

2010-01-24T01:28:00.000-08:00

If you have an affiliate website, make sure not to be a thin affiliate. Google hates thin affiliates and treat as ‘Spam’.

Here are main two things to focus.

“Give additional data to the user”

Ask the following question yourself.

Why do you recommend a user to visit your site before visiting the real site?

If you have a valid answer, your site is not a thin affiliate.

Give something useful to the user to ease his or her decision making process. If your affiliate site is about selling books, add some reviews about the book, give price comparison and coupons.

Duplicate content penalty.

2010-01-23T22:50:00.000-08:00

Most webmasters worried about duplicate content penalty. But I think they are over worried. Duplicate content penalty is not what they really think.

If you are scraping content from other sites and putting them to your site without having additional utility to user, there may be a penalty.

Here are some occasions where duplicate penalty really occurs.

1. You are scrapping content from other sites. You do not give additional data. For example, you are scrapping data from Wikipedia and putting them as it is.

2. You have an affiliate. You display products and services of the main site without proving any additional data.

These practices should be avoided
• Don't create multiple pages, sub-domains, or domains with substantially duplicate content.
• Avoid... "cookie cutter" approaches such as affiliate programs with little or no original content.

You submit same article to 20 article directory sites with a link back to your site. Will it results duplicate content penalty?

This is a duplicate content situation. But Search engines like Google will not punish anyone. You can’t actually control the process which copies your article to multiple directories. Article directories cannot prevent people submitting duplicate articles. So Google will give top rank to the original article and give lesser rank for duplicate articles.

“Most search engines strive for a certain level of variety; they want to show you ten different results on a search results page, not ten different URLs that all have the same content. To this end, Google tries to filter out duplicate documents so that users experience less redundancy. You can find details in this blog post, which states:

1.When we detect duplicate content, such as through variations caused by URL parameters, we group the duplicate URLs into one cluster.

2.We select what we think is the "best" URL to represent the cluster in search results.

3.We then consolidate properties of the URLs in the cluster, such as link popularity, to the representative URL.”

In general more links from other websites pointing to your site is better. But some links may add more value to your site while others don't.

For example think that you were recommended by American president while recommended by your neighbor. Whose recommendation is the best ? Definitely it is from president.
Likewise all incoming links to your site are adding different values to your site.

The best links are from pages that;
1. Highly related to your contents.

3. Have few outbound links.
4. From an authoritative site.

One-way links gives a strong message to search engines that your site is valuable, so that other sites voluntary speak about your site.

The miserable failure –Googlebomb

2009-02-17T02:26:00.000-08:00

The term “miserable failure” is a great example to demonstrate power of anchor text. This was happened late 2003 aimed at the biography page of George W Bush (www.whitehouse.gov/president/gwbbio.html). If someone Search for the term “miserable failure” it went to biography page of George W Bush. But page does not include the words “miserable” or failure within the code.

It was a group attempt who used the strength of anchor text to influence SERP.

What is Anchor text ?

Anchor text is a visible text of a hyper link.

Relationship between SEO and link building.

2009-02-16T23:30:00.000-08:00

I have describe SEO and link building in previous posts. But why we are so concerned about link building. Because link building is a vital factor for SEO.

“Content is the king” then why Link Building ?

Search engine appreciate unique contents. So they will always give high rank for contents rich sites. But if you are selling “Mineral Water” what content will be available for you to boast. You are just a seller out of million sellers who sells an identical product.
If every one is selling same product how come one sites get better rank. Lots of factors will effect but one major role will be played by “Backlinks” which can be refer as “recommendation” or “Vote” from others.

So ultimately a site which has more backlinks will get high rank.

What is SEO ?

2009-02-16T23:25:00.000-08:00

SEO (search engine optimizer) refers to the process improving natural and targeted traffic from search engine to your site.
Its just not a process of getting search engine traffic. It is art of getting targeted traffic ultimately lead to a sale.

What is Link Building ?

2009-02-16T23:22:00.000-08:00

It is a process of getting other websites to link to your web site. It can be simple identified as getting a vote from others to your website in order to improve search engine ranking.
Link building techniques can include getting free links, buying links, reciprocal linking, or entering barter arrangements.
You can get natural links and artificial links.
Natural links – Other sites themselves add links to our site.
Artificial – We build links spending our time and money.
