SEO Blog - Marcus Westberg

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.

New SEO forum!

Recently me and my partner / friend Markus Jalmerot (also a swedish guy) launched a new search engine optimization forum!.
The url is www.seoforum.us and anyone that is interested in discussions about SEO are very welcome to make a few posts….

The registration process is really simple and will only steal a few minutes of your time….
Since the forum is brand new there are of course some minor bugs to take care of, but it is functional for anyone to use so if you ever want to learn/discuss SEO our forum is the right place to ask the questions.

Our SEO forum also contains some interesting categories such as a marketplace where you can buy, sell and trade links, websites etc…

The forum itself is running on a script called PHPBB which is a very common forum script and so far most of the important settings seem to be playing nicely Of course there is still a lot of SEO to be done, for example more URL rewrites and installing various mods etc….
I just got the rss to work so if you have a RSS reader like Feedreader or something simular you can use this RSS URL (http://www.seoforum.us/rss.php) to get the latest news from our SEO Forum

I also want to mention that we are planning to release some very good posts/stickys about linkbuilding etc
Since we want this forum to be succesful we actually are going to release some really juice stuff about SEO that I at least never have talked about before….

Oh! and don´t forget to tell us what you think about the forum here: Suggestions and feedback on seoforum.us We appreciate every little bit of help we can get on how to make this forum better….

Tool for checking IP numbers for domains

This is a great tool! You can check multiple URL´s up to 10 at once.
The reason for use this tool in SEO purposes is that you can see at what Class C ip your inlinks for example is located.
A perfect time to use this tool would be if you are offered many links from various domains from the same person.

It is important to have many inlinks from various IP numbers when you are promoting your website, Google seems to devalue if you have all your incoming links from the same class C ip.

Here is a picture on how it looks:

As you can see in this specific image it is obvious that domain nr 5-9 is located at the same IP.

The reason why Google devalues inlinks from the same Class C IP is to avoid webmasters from building huge networks of sites linking to each other I believe.
But of course you are allowed to own and operate a large number of sites, if you are doing just that you might want to consider using various webhosts.

Easy way to get high quality content to your site and meanwhile get valuable links

Ok this is so obvious, I can´t believe that I didn´t think of this yet..
It´s a strategy based upon putting friends and partners feeds in a category in your own blog.

So what? Who cares…
I do! and blog owners that wants more visitors and valuable links do.

Strategy
Let´s say you have a popular blog with many inlinks and a high Pagerank 6 for example.
This means that all of your categories in the blog will get a PR of 4 or 5 most certain.
Now take the fact that people actually pay good money be listed in websites with high PR and popularity.
Right now you problably kind of get what´s the general idea here!
So what you can offer for the blogowners that wants the word out about their blog, is an entire post containg let´say 5 to 10 of their latest posts.
This will pass both PR and visitors to their blogs and you can ask them for a high quality link in return.
To get this to work you you will simply just have to download a plugin explained beneath.
