Yahoo! Cache = Web Forgery???

Every once in a while, I  like to check the cache of the major search engines, to see how current the snapshot of my site is.  Was checking Yahoo the other day, and was shocked to see this message pop up:

Yahoo! cache is a web forgery?  Yikes!  What a mess!

The IP address, 74.6.238.254, points to Inktomi Corporation, which was acquired by Yahoo! back in 2002.

Are you paying attention Ms. Mayer?

Manipulating Google's Freshness Signals

Penguin

I've been working hard to combat the effects of Google's Penguin algorithm update for one of my most important sites.  I had a number of sites that I was developing.  Hompepages were up with some unique content, and I had links installed.  Soooooo...I guess the Algo' assumed I was trying to build link farms.  Oops!  Oh well.  No big deal.

For a few of these penalty-inducing, nascent sites, I redirected.  For the rest, I added the NOFOLLOW attribute to all the links.  I think my rankings will be back to normal soon.

Just submitted a reconsideration request, just to let Big G know that I wasn't trying to be a spammer.  We'll see.

Last year's Panda update resulted in the same site getting deindexed, but it bounced back in short order.  I have faith that Google does not want to punish honorable publishers. 

My other major Internet property should have been hit with the same penalty.  But it wasn't.  Because it has too much authority.  Authority is the key.  Not enough authority, and these algorithm updates become a major pain.

Manipulating Google's Freshness Signals

A site that I compete with is manipulating page content to get better rankings.  The site is DailyMarkets.com.  What are they doing?  Simple: they are constantly changing the date next to the byline to the current date.  So an article / blog post that was published 6 months ago has today's date.  And it will have tomorrow's date on it tomorrow.  Penguin is clearly bestowing too many points for this kind of "freshness."  I'm surprised the algorithm is that easy to trick.  We'll see what happens over the next few weeks.

Shame on you DailyMarkets.com.  Shame!

Competitor Site Hacked by Tiger-M@te

Was checking out the site of a serious competitor yesterday, which everyone must do every once in a while, and found that his site had been hacked by "Tiger-M@te." The hacker, apparently from Bangladesh (Bangladeshi HackeR), sent props to aBu.HaLiL501, w7sh.syria, Sy-Hacker, NmR.Hacker, Wa7sh Hacker, h311 c0d3.

What really surprised me was how long it took for the site owner to get the site back up. It was down for at least 12 hours.

Weak login credentials? Must be. Probably used his home address for his master server password, or something silly like that.

By my estimation, as we have very similar sites, he lost at least $300 during the downtime. An expensive lesson in server management.

Hacking: what a sorry waste of time, energy and talent. Hackers need serious therapy.

Press Release Writing And Distribution

Writing and distributing press releases is a key part of my SEO strategy. Been doing them for more than 5 years now, for lots of different sites.

Was using PRWeb until 2009. I liked them because I could easily add links to my releases (which one can still do, of course), and my releases used to rank well in the search engines. For some reason -- and completely out of the blue -- my releases stopped ranking well in both Google and Yahoo!, so I decided to try other distribution sites.

Have been using MarketWire since mid-2009 and they've been OK. With MarketWire, however, I couldn't help but think I could do better. So I've been on the hunt for more value.

Been helping my friend Sharay Hayes revamp his GetPunished.com site recently. Sharay is an entrepreneur and entertainer; when he's preforming, he's known as The Punisher. We're going to do a press release for his site soon, and I've decided to give eReleases a try.

eReleases offers a great deal of value, much more than it's main competitors. Here's a table that compares what you get with eReleases vs. PRWeb:

I especially like the included national distribution, and the fact that eReleases will get a release noticed by radio stations and TV shows.

Of course, I will update this post when i have more to share about my experience with eReleases. Stay tuned!
