<p>Unless they are a Google Panda. For Google&#8217;s Panda bites hard. Over the last few weeks, Google has been coming down hard on many spammy sites. Not before time either. You must have come across the problem of not being to find what you are searching for. Hotels are a particular bugbear of mine. If you put in the name of the hotel you wanted, you would find lots of hotel hotel directories but not the hotel itself. well things are starting to change, thanks to one Giant Panda.</p>
<p>The spammers are quite upset but I notice that my own traffic and earnings are up. quality content will finally win.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a very interesting post on<a href="http://www.michellemacphearson.com/the-new-content-marketing-keyword-strategy/"> Michellr MacPhearson&#8217;s blog.</a></p>
<p>She wanted to target subjects that are of interest to women. The problem is that the &#8216;group name&#8217; for such sites is not something that people search for. Do you really see anybody putting &#8216;women&#8217;s interests&#8217; into Google? Of course not. They might put in &#8216;lipstick&#8217; but Michelle doesn&#8217;t just want a lipstick site.</p>
<p>Received opinion is that she should do exactly that &#8211; have a series of mini-sites based on different searched for keyword terms. But that conflicts from the apparent message from Google that they want larger &#8216;authority&#8217; sites. So Michelle is just concentrating on ranking the individual page for the keyword term by the use of good on-page SEO.</p>
<p>I think that is the way to go. What do you think?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I see endless threads asking about PLR article products. Most people don&#8217;t seem to be very satisfied with what is out there. There is a reason for that. A lot of PLR is incredibly awful. Poorly researched, poorly written by people whose first language is not English.</p>
<p>If only we could have a Rolls Royce service in PLR. If only we could find an experienced teacher who knows how to do research and is a born writer. If only such a service were available for less than thirty dollars a month.</p>
<p>My friend. (yes, he is genuinely my friend) Martin Avis has done the necessary. He has done an amazing job and I am delighted to be a member. You can join too by clicking <a href="http://www.kickstartplr.com/?rid=28">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For my sins, I moderate in certain forums. On the whole, i really enjoy the work. Most people are really appreciative. However, one category of person is not, the spammer.</p>
<p>For me, a forum spammer is anybody who comes to a forum with the intention of making money from it. Ten years ago, we all did it. We would make a post and include an affiliate link in it. I never once made a penny from such a link. We all posted the links but nobody clicked on them. </p>
<p>These days things tend to be a lot more subtle. The affiliate link might still be there but everything is done to stop the moderator spotting it. Lots of &#8216;shortened&#8217; links and misleadingly phrased ones.</p>
<p>A common tactic these days is to send people off to a mock &#8220;review page&#8221;, often a video page, where you read nothing but wonderful comments about a product and the affiliate link is prominent. Not seen any of those? Then I&#8217;m doing my job <img src='http://grumpy-old-man.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Bev campaigned long and hard to raise standards on the Internet. No liar, cheat or charlatan was safe from her. When I became a moderator on the Warrior Forum, she encouraged me to go after the dodgy characters and, with a few others, we cleaned the place up.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sorry for the long gap in posting. I have various problems with my eyes and I had to give up most online work for a while. That&#8217;s the great thing about Adsense sites &#8211; it really can be passive income. Of course, your sites do gradually fall back over a period &#8211; but not as quickly as you might expect.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m now beginning an experiment in renting sites to artisans in the Redditch area. This is based on ideas by Mark Vurnum. You can see my initial attempt at <a href="http://redditchwebhelp.co.uk">http://redditchwebhelp.co.uk</a> Do you recognize how I did the sales page? It&#8217;s made with an add-on for WordPress.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Free search engine submission software may not cost you anything in money, but it does have a cost in terms of the time that it takes you to set it up and use it. So is it worthwhile? Does submitting your site to the search engines have any real effect on the way that your site will appear in the search engines?</p>
<p>Search Engine Submission History</p>
<p>When the world wide web began to grow, developers quickly realized that there was a need for visitors to be able to search the whole internet so that they could more easily find what they were looking for. Search engines such as Google were set up to examine all of the sites on the internet and create an index of what each site contained, so that they could return results to people who were searching. Soon there were thousands of these search engines competing for people&#8217;s attention.</p>
<p>In the beginning the search engines were not very effective in finding new sites. It was necessary for sites to be submitted in order to be listed quickly. Submission services were set up by companies who would tell all of the thousands of search engines about your site. They used software to do this. Soon it became possible to find free search engine submission software for webmasters who wanted to do it themselves.</p>
<p>However, the search engines soon improved. They developed robots that can crawl the whole internet all of the time, looking for new sites and new pages on old sites to add to their search results. As early as 2004, experts were beginning to say that there was no point in submitting sites to the bigger search engines.</p>
<p>The Position Today &#8211; Established Sites</p>
<p>Today, just about all of the search engines have become skilled at finding sites. If your site has been established for some time and has links pointing to it from other websites that are known to the search engines, there is no need to submit it anywhere. Even the smaller search engines will already have found it through those links. So you do not need to use free search engine submission software for a site that other sites already link to.</p>
<p>New Sites</p>
<p>For a new site, you might want to submit to some or all of the search engines just to make the process of indexing quicker. However, be aware that some engines now consider automatic submission through the use of paid or free search engine submission software to be a form of spamming. This means that they might actually mark your site down or even ban it for submitting in this way.</p>
<p>If your site is built with WordPress, you should be able to get indexed relatively quickly just by the automatic &#8216;pinging&#8217; system that is built in to WordPress. This notifies certain sites whenever there is a new post on your blog. </p>
<p>For static sites you might still want to use a submission service or software to submit to the smaller search engines. However, it is probably best to avoid submitting to the big engines like Google, Yahoo or Bing this way. It is better to build some links to your site so that they can find it in a natural, organic way. </p>
<p>Building links for the purpose of getting indexed is quite simple. You just need to have links to your site from other sites that the large search engines regularly crawl. For example you could post an article at a well established article directory such as ezinearticles.com, and create pages at Squidoo, Hub Pages or Blogger. Just have a link to your site at the end of each article. These days, there is not really any need to use free search engine submission software.</p>
