Greetings,
I haven't done a newsletter since before
Christmas, shame on me. I am the guy
always telling my clients
you need to do a newsletter every
month, ha-ha. Mea culpa. I am just
now digging out from a month in New Zealand
(good on ya, mate). Lot's happening in the
SEO world. Here are a few items that may
be on interest.
Google Bigdaddy Update
Google is undergoing a major infrastructure
upgrade with the nickname "Bigdaddy", which is
now available at three data centers. In addition
to 66.249.93.104 and 64.233.179.104, Bigdaddy is
now up at 216.239.51.104. If you want to
search from one of the new centers, rather than
typing
www.google.com in your browser, enter
http://66.249.93.104 and search from there.
Bigdaddy involves new infrastructure and is not
just a data push or algorithm update. Google
engineers say we can expect a new data center to
be converted to Bigdaddy roughly every 10 days
or so.
My internet connection defaults to one of the
new datacenters when I go to
http://www.google.com Your's may not, yet.
Don't be alarmed if you see your rankings
jumping around or even vanishing for a day or
two. I have observed different rankings
for my web and clients' webs from two different
Google locations as a result of the changeover.
They have all come back. You can go to
http://www.google.co.uk or
http://www.google.ca or
http://www.google.com.au and compare your
search on the www. Google's worldwide
infrastructure now exceeds 130,000 servers.
It takes 24-48 hours for updates to proliferate
through their system.
For example, see below where I am #1 from my
data center but not ranked from Australia for
free SEO help. The Australia data center
shows only 36.6 million competing iterations.

Some Great Programs I Am Using

-
Registry Mechanic
Fix Windows registry problems.
You don't need to know anything
about REGEDIT to use this
program. We use this
program. It is excellent!
If you have ever had regedit
problems, you don't want to have
them again? About $30.
-
SiteUp v1.1
FREE!
Web Site Availability Monitoring
Software for Windows
95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP
SiteUp monitors your web sites
and warns you when any become
unreachable (e.g. when a server
crashes). This program is
a freebie from my friend in New
Zealand presently living in
Australia, Nigel Cross.
-
MailList King email list
management and email marketing
campaign software, integrates
with Outlook. I use it
every day. New version
v.6.0. Also, new Corporate
version is suitable for multiple
users on a network and can be
remotely administered. This
email is being sent with one
click of a button to hundreds of
folks. MailList King is a
great program. The version
I use costs $99.50.
-
Spyware Doctor
Forget the free programs, get
the best at a great price.
PC Magazine Editors Choice.
You can download the program for
free and scan your PC to see how
badly you need this excellent
program. When I first ran
Spyware Doctor on my PC, I had
508 hazardous files on my C:
drive that antivirus totally
missed. About $30.
Search Engine Optimization
Certification
If you are considering training
to improve your SEO skills, I
recommend John Alexander and
Robin Noble's Search Engine
Workshops. Their training
is excellent, they are terrific
people and they offer
REAL certification.
There are still a few openings
for their late March program in
Orlando. Lean more about
search engine optimization
certification and
check out their programs.
Want The Latest News from
Google?
Google engineer
Matt Cutt's BLOG is
an informative source of as
close to inside news as you can
get from monolithic Google.
Content is King
You might be interested in this
new page in my web regarding
web content, why it
is so important and what you can
do to add content to your web.
Want to know how many pages
Google sees in your web?
Search at Google for
site:http://www.yourdomainname.com
or whatever the appropriate
extension. If you have
less than 100 pages, you need
more content.
Better Web Marketing ROI
Axandra has a new program
AxROI that tracks
and analyzes AdWords traffic and
every other aspect of your web
visitation. My client John
D in Louisiana is using it, says
it is excellent, well worth the
money and very easy to set up.
Your web needs to be on a server
with PHP.
We
can put you on a PHP server for
$120 per year, same
place my web is hosted.
