Why Is This Not You Tube?

2010-02-20T05:54:00.000-08:00

You may have heard of this topic, "This is not You Tube" but why? Well, the answer may be because some people are not satisfied with the way you tube provides certain videos. When you go to the very popular video site, you expect to see every video you play but this is not true in some videos instead there are videos which restricts certain countries to view. But why, is this not You Tube? The answer is plain and simple. This is You Tube. But the videos are restricted by video owners so don't blame you tube for the restrictions. BBC has mentioned the reason behind region filtering on their official BBC Channel – “Because of the way that the BBC is funded in the UK through the licence fee, we cannot make videos available outside of the UK”.

Why do we need High PR backlink sites? When we do SEO, it is important that we join as many community sites as possible. Especially sites that will allow us to put links back to our own website. This is the theory of backlinking. Go ahead and register to these sites using your imacros:
SpecialOlympics

These are just a few sites where you can build backlinks. You may register to these sites, expand your network, edit your profile by adding an anchor text linked to your website . Just as I did below:

Notice I put my keywords in tags section. remember to follow the format of tags. I also put an html code to my client's main keyword, "web development Florida" in the About me page. If you have a blog, provide access to rss feed to your blog.

SEO Tools - SEO Quake

2009-08-05T23:35:00.000-07:00

SEO Quake gives you the page information of any site you visit. Such information as meta description and keywords used. It also helps you compare two sites according to their rankings in different social networks and bookmarking sites. This is another free firefox add-on essential for search engine optimization. How does this information help my blog, Web Discoverer? First, SEO Quake provided me with this information on the table shown below:

The table gives me the idea of the meta keywords I am using in my blog। But as you notice, there is no information in the meta description. I need to add a few codes in my blog html in order to have a meta description. I know this can also be done when you click View then Page Source in your browser. But SEO Quake provides a more detailed information such as comparison of sites and keyword density. To download SEO Quake is as easy as you download iMacros or any firefox add ons.

iMacros - Automate Your Registrations

2009-08-03T23:54:00.000-07:00

I've been using iMacros lately, a Firefox addon which can automate your registration process. I'm loving this seo tool because it speeds up my registrations to social sites. If you have a hundred sites to register the same account, iMacros is of great help. iMacros is even better than the InformEnter. First thing you have to do is download iMacros, this is free and easy to download. When you have downloaded this addon, firefox will ask you to restart your browser. After restart, you will notice the iMacros button like the image displayed in this post. When you click the button, a window below will appear on the left corner of your browser. This window shows all your iim files.
These files are imacros files.

To start to automate registrations, click Record then open a site to register, fill up all information. When you're finish, click Stop then Save. When you hit save, give your iMacros a meaningful name. ex. registration, since what you recorded is about registering. After saving, find registration.iim in the list of iMacros files. When you click Play, everything you recorded will be played. To view the code, right click registration.iim and click edit, here's the code in my registration.iim:

VERSION BUILD=6240709 RECORDER=FX
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:FILE FORM=NAME:RegisterUser ATTR=ID:photoPortrait CONTENT=C:\DocumentsandSettings\DayShift\Desktop\xxxx
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:RegisterUser ATTR=ID:email CONTENT@xxx.com
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:RegisterUser ATTR=ID:username CONTENT=xxxxx
TAG POS=1 TYPE=LABEL ATTR=TXT:Password:
TAG POS=1 TYPE=LABEL ATTR=TXT:Password:
SET !ENCRYPTION NO
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:PASSWORD FORM=NAME:RegisterUser ATTR=ID:password CONTENT=xxxx
SET !ENCRYPTION NO
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:PASSWORD FORM=NAME:RegisterUser ATTR=ID:confirmPassword CONTENT=xxxx
TAG POS=1 TYPE=SELECT FORM=NAME:RegisterUser ATTR=ID:dobMonth CONTENT=%01
TAG POS=1 TYPE=SELECT FORM=NAME:RegisterUser ATTR=ID:dobDay CONTENT=%01
TAG POS=1 TYPE=SELECT FORM=NAME:RegisterUser ATTR=ID:dobYear CONTENT=%1957

You may copy and paste this code to your iim file. Just replace xxxx with your own username, password, email and other info. Notice the dobMonth CONTENT =%01. This is a drop down list where you choose your birth date. I set mine to January 1, 1957. donot take out the %, Just change to your own birtdate. The code may vary depending on the order/sequence of fill ups. In the code above, the website registration starts by asking for a photo, therefore, the first code starts with providing the url of your photo. You may need to re-organize the order depending on the site registration. You may rearrange the order of codes for a different registration formats. This code works with this list of backlink sites though.

Now, you don't have to manually fill up registrations in community sites. All you have to do is click the registration.iim and click play. You will see how fast it is to register.

Go ahead! Register to the list of backlink sites using the code above and tell me if imacros really speeds up the registration process. :)

How To Write Your Press Release

2009-03-31T18:38:00.000-07:00

Part of website promotion is writing press releases. I have been submitting press releases to different PR submission sites. In my first submissions, my PR's were rejected. I had no idea why and so I researched more, view other press releases and eventually discovered how it should be written:

1.) No advertisements

It is important to know that unlike other article distribution and advertising methods, press releases are not for advertising or for general interest articles. It must be written for the purpose of announcing something. Press releases with advertisements are mostly rejected by PR submission sites.

2.) Newsworthy

Press releases are expected to have strong news value. It must contain stories published by the organization, company or such
* a new product or service you launched
* a business expansion
* a recent event
* a milestone you reached
* an anniversary
* an award
* or any other newsworthy subject

Press releases are designed to be able to encourage journalists to write an article for the company.

In writing your press release, content must be between 400 - 700 words, depending on how much we can actually write about your story by complying with all the rules for press releases.

Revolutionary Automator For SEO Solutions

2009-03-23T23:30:00.000-07:00

I have been doing seo for quite sometime with several clients and several websites. But lately, my client asked me to use this beautiful tool that helped me a lot in doing SEO. This is called the signup automator and the revolutionary automator by Ross Goldberg. You don't have to spend so much time signing up online for each of the bookmarking sites, article sites. The signup automator is tool that allows you to sign up to several sites all at the same time. It doesn't take too long to be able to sign up to all sites, actually, i think you will be able to sign up for a minute per site if internet connection is slow. The good thing is, it opens these sites in tabs all at the same time, loads your profile information and all you have to do is click the submit button. If there is a captcha, then you need to fill up those manually. It is different from the SEO form in the sense that you can signup to several sites simultaneously. The revolutionary automator is used to submit articles, blog/rss, press releases, social bookmarking and videos. There are a few feedbacks I notice like it does not include the birthday field in profile which most sites usually requires for signup. But only very minimal errors were encountered. All you have to do is, upload your article then spread it to different article submission sites. Undeniably, there are hundreds of seo tools available online but I guarantee this software to be one of the best.
