Reasons To Use NoFollow for Better SEO

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

Using nofollow is a great easy seo strategy that everyone should follow. Adding rel=’nofollow’ within your links lets you prevent them from being follows. This is a great seo strategy since it stops you from giving out free link “juice”. Why is your page rank so low? Maybe you’ve been giving out all your linkage to other websites without getting anything in return.

Maybe you’ve been blogging for years without using nofollow links and don’t want to take the effort changing all your links. That’s ok! There is an easy wordpress plugin that will take care of the work for you!

One of the best nofollow seo plugins that works for Wordpress version is called Nofollow Links in Posts Reloaded. Currently it works up to version 2.8 and will turn all those dofollow links into nofollow links.

Expanding Your Blog With Related Blogs

Monday, December 21st, 2009

One of the best ways to expand your blog (and your traffic) is by creating new blogs related to your current content. Why create a bunch of unrelated blog with no interlinking opportunities, when you could expand your current efforts with a string of blogs all interrelated?

I’ve noticed plenty of websites out there even creating multiple blogs with the exact same content? Yes I’m saying you can successful expand your efforts doing the exact same thing. Now keep in mind expanding with the exact same blog over and over necessarily won’t always work.

Why not focus on creating new blogs foceused on only one category for better seo?

Free Money for the Wrongly Accused

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Florida gives out $50,000 in free money for those wrongly accused under their legal system. The money equals $50,000 a year for each year spent in prison for a crime that was not commited. DNA recently proved a man’s innocence after he spent an entire 35 years behind bars. From age 19 to 54 he spent his time wrongly accused sitting behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit. Now he has been awarded $1.75 million according to the telegraph.

Though it sucks to spend most of your life in prison, at least he gets some compensation to start off his new life outside his life behind bars.

Can You Dissappear in the Digital Age? Social Engineering

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

A recent wired article tried to ask whether you could disappear in the digital age and if anyone could find you.  Wired did a test with writer Evan Ratliff as he tried to vanish. He didn’t tell anyone where he was going and tried to disappear as anonymous as possible. This meant using prepaid credit cards. To disappear he also changed his disguise on a daily basis.

In fact during his time of disappearance, he socially engineered his way across the united states (and used our travel systems of railway and buses) without any form of government issued identification.

During this time there was also a $5,000 reward if anyone could find him. He spent his time feeling paranoid though I doubt anyone really would have spotted him, since probably this story was smaller than he thought. Still the entire story sheds insight into ways he was able to travel without any form of identification.
