Re: SEO in 2013: Your Survival Guide

Thanks Abdi. I agree. Google et al. have always said content is king, in 2012 they did something about it, finally! I think they still have a long way to go to weed out shallow made for 'Black Hat' SEO sites and deceptive link building techniques. 2013 will see even more seismic shifts and a re-definition of what SEO means..namely...content marketing. Thanks for your thoughts Abdi!

Well written article with some good insights. Your last two sentences pretty much sum up everything (alongside 'producing high quality content') but to be entirely honest those same principles have been ever present. The only reason the pandas/penguins bit people is that they ignored or turned a blind eye to these fundamental principles with the aim of short term gains. I think 2012 was a real wake up call and it certainly made me reassess my approach, becoming far more motivated to be more creative and refine my skill set.

Very interesting. I guess Google will do all in their power to make G+ as enticing and indispensable as possible. I don't blame them. Thanks for sharing Syed!

Did you know? "
Google has confirmed that there’s a hidden benefit to having authorship status: If a user returns to the search results after reading an author-tagged search result for a certain period of time, Google will add three additional links to similar articles from the same author below the originally clicked link."

Re: [HOW TO] Register Your Brand On Pinterest. Do It Today!

Thanks for sharing Keri.

That's quite a remarkable jump in positions!

I agree, re-pins expose your content to more users and therefore it has more of a chance of getting shared outside of Pinterest.

Unfortunately though, recently, Pinterest added nofollows to links, so they no longer pass seo value.

I believe the profile link still does, but that's an image.

Thanks for the tip on pinging your link, very useful :)

I have used pinterest on my website and the result was great, it jumped from #124 to #3 in less than 3 weeks time.

The key is we must got our website pinned and repinned by many people, which is the toughest part. Most of pinterest users won't doing repin when they aren't like what we pinned.

I do simple thing to outsource it on fiverr and got my site pinned by 75 people, I don't know how can he did it just search by typing pinterest on fiverr and you will find it on the TOP. Many other seller offer pinterest service on fiverr but in my experience they can't make my website increase in SEO. I don't know why.

As I know currently pinterest is best for SEO for 3 reasons:
1. Once our website pinned it has 3 backlinks counts.
2. You need to ping the links of your pins to the to get your website increase in SEO.
3. Even not support anchor text (except the url link), it's still perfect for placing our keywords in description. Google will FIND it!!

Interesting points. I think the way forward is to become more original with SEO. Cheers..great site.

Re: Penalised by Penguin? Here’s What to Do

Omar Kattan — Tue, 15 May 2012 08:43:41 -0000

Yes that's a good point Jason. But you can still create content that will attract links to that page. For example a mortgage form page can have a mortgage calculator. A Kitchen sales page can have a kitchen planner tool. A car sales page can have a 3d widget that shows the car from all angles. etc. etc. If you provide content that is useful to your users (i.e. beyond just selling). People will link to and share that content.

Re: Penalised by Penguin? Here’s What to Do

Jason — Tue, 15 May 2012 06:03:09 -0000

Good point but what if you have a single page website (sales page). I would imagine that natural links would be very hard to come by.

Re: Penalised by Penguin? Here’s What to Do

Omar Kattan — Sat, 12 May 2012 05:11:18 -0000

Spot on. Protection "future-proofing" is always better than remedy. The only way to do this is to write useful content that attracts links and generates shares/likes naturally. It's really as simple as that.

Thank you for this great article. :)

Re: [HOW TO] Survive Google’s Over Optimisation Penalty

Omar Kattan — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:26:27 -0000

Not really, just ensure the content is user friendly (i.e. reads well) and linkable and sharable (i.e. others sites will want to link to and your visitors share).

Re: RIM’s BlackBerry Travel App [REVIEW]

Dmillar — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 09:59:27 -0000

Blackberry Travel is such a dismally poor imitation of Worldmate Live that I do not understand how BB even thought of promoting it!! It si absolutely NOT a road warriors companion - where is the facility to include scheduled meetings? Where is the Gold feature of WWL? It continually tells me that I am missing hotels - it lists hotels per day up to and including check-out day (so it appears as if you have 2 reservations for the same night) etc etc.
