Google Changes - Article Directories

[Alston]

@Pangea should I take that as a compliment or was your comment mainly an attempt to b**** slap Dave?
LOL

Alston, I really would like to share that information but it would not be right. The way in which I run my site is based upon the expertise of Dave Miller. To give that strategy out would tantamount to screwing Dave and I just Wong do that.

I appreciate your loyalty to Dave.

I do article marketing as well, but since I do a bunch of other things, I can't be sure how much of my traffic to attribute to any particular SEO activity.

I outsource about 10 articles a month. I fact check, spell check, grammar check, insert my author box and then have my assistant post them on various directories.

I link to both old and new content. I mostly deep link with variations of keywords I target in the anchor text, but will include about 10% with "click here" and similar phrases in the anchor text.

That is my article marketing strategy in a nutshell. However, it is coordinated with other link building and with my new content creation strategy. All have at their foundation some, IMNSHO, fairly sophisticated keyword research.

You know my situation so I have no reason to argue with anyone about anything or continue my east coast - midwest beef with Mr. Miller.

Take it as a compliment.

I don't sell SEO anymore so I don't give two flying poobahs how people feel about it.

Thanks Malcolm.

I appreciate the compliment and got a lot out of our recent phone conversation.

I don't believe that my link will give you the 404 for much longer and I appreciate you letting me know. So that you can fix yours Somarco, I've linked it below.

I don't have a blog.

After letting others work on the site and make it worse, I had to redo it and migrate to a different host and platform. I lost some custom pages that were not compatible with the new structure and it took a month or so to get my ranking back.

The site is doing fine but thank you for your "help".

Give Miller my regards.

No problem at all. Just returning the "favor."

what's the beef? tacos anyone?

 

[somarco]

Just returning the "favor."

You apparently enjoy being Miller's bitch, but I don't need advice from either of you.

 

[RJT Consulting]

Yup, you got me there. Listen, you're obviously very talented and understand SEO. At some point I would love for you to share your knowledge about how you've utilized redirects, mislabeled title tags and 404 errors to increase your Google rankings. I am assuming since you have so many that you know something we don't. Just trying to learn from you.

Now, I don't have a dog in this fight but, regardless of looks (like a fat girl who's "talented" beyond words IMO) Somarco's site is performing better than yours.

I don't think he's the right guy to pick a fight with, from what I understand there's back history that you may not know about with him and Miller.

I truly could not care less what his history is with Miller. He, in his typical snide (I'm a 70 year old Internet bully) way, was a smart ass about my sight. When the truth of the matter is that his site has a lot wrong with it to. At some point the leaders here need to step up and stop allowing him to continue to act this way. This is a great forum but is it really in the best interest here to allow that behavior? Every single person here has seen it. So, why allow it?
