SEO Blog

by Marcus Westberg on September 22, 2006

in SEO in general

I noticed today that I was ranked kind of high for the keyphrase SEO blog on Google.com. Not in the top 10 but in place number 13 which is not that bad either considering that I have not been adding links here at all lately.

This is so sweet, I was just wondering what keyword I was going to optimize this blog for… But now I found the answer by searching Google. Actually I got a mail from a guy named Jim Burnett where he gave me a link to his new Intelligent Link Replication Tool. I have to check that one! The info I really needed could not be found on the site I was transfered to when clicking the link.

I am also wondering right now why webmasters are accepting the Dmoz staff´s behavior, you see Dmoz or the web directory a.k.a the Open Directory Project is abusing the Internet so badly becasue beeing listed in DMOZ gives you a great headstart when it comes to SEO. If everyone could get a listing at the ODP it would not be a problem but right now there is an very uneven quality among the DMOZ editors and some editors only accepts sites that they are familiar to etc…

I am sure that the Open Directory Project will die by itself, no one is interested in catalogue like that anymore. Maybe it worked in the 90´s but not anymore I believe.

SEO Tool Collection

by Marcus Westberg on September 22, 2006

in SEO Tools

I have found some new SEO tools and this time it was fun viewing some of them.
I got a e-mail from someone saying that he had a great collection and I have to agree, this site has most the SEO tools I use listed.
Take a look at the site SEO control panel.

Another tool I recently found and which I have used a lot is this tool: search and simulate like if you would search from a different country. so what it does is very simple. It shows you the search results from differernt countries since Google might adjust SERP positions slightly when you are searching from two different continents for example.

Now you have enough tools to be satisfied until christmas, but I´ll be back if I would find something spectacular.
