Alec Kinnear has a bone to pick or an axe to grind. A self-proclaimed SEO expert who receives little to no recognition from the SEO community, Kinnear appears to enjoy attacking other people in order to attract attention. Kinnear’s Foloiovision blog drew an innocent party into the longtime rogue SEO firm’s campaign of bitter tactics last year. More recently, Kinnear unleashed his personal attacks in order to promote Foliovision’s bogus SEO plugin.
Maybe we’ve entered the era of the “Plugin Wars”, where unscrupulous Wordpress plugin writers deceive people into thinking they need to install these wastes of code to help promote their blogs in search results. Like Alec Kinnear, many SEO plugin writers claim their tools help you create custom titles for your Wordpress articles. Thing is, you’re already creating custom titles.
Wordpress out of the box allows you to create any title and URL you want for your article. Wordpress also allows you to create meta description and even keywords meta tags for each article if you want to do that. SEO plugin vendors have been deceiving people into believing they need these code bloating tools in order to get their blogs into search indexes.
Widely respected SEO expert Michael Martinez recently took the SEO plugin trade to task for leading bloggers down the garden path to disaster. Before you install an SEO plugin on your blog, ask yourself what your priorities are. You will find you don’t need a plugin to achieve those priorities, unless you’ve bought into nonsense about sculpting PageRank and filtering duplicate content.
The best thing you can do to promote your blog is to write more articles for it. The more you post, the more content search engines will index. And you can use any title or page URL you want for your articles without all these ridiculous plugins.

Listen, we know web promotion is not a fun thing to experience. Especially when it comes to something like social bookmarking. It could literally take you hours upon hours to go from one place to another and add what you need in order to build backlinks to your website. Then of course by the time you figure it all out, the Google algorithms have changed and you have to work on something different.
We should probably start off by telling you that as you make your way down the sales page there is a box that shows four different benefits you’ll receive with the Bookmarking Demon Social Bookmarking Software. It all starts with getting more targeted traffic. High conversion rates is what you need and according to this program, they can help you with it.
Another thing that is crucial to getting traffic to your websites through this Bookmarking Demon Social Bookmarking Software is by having faster search engine indexing. See they will explain how spiders go through social bookmarking sites constantly and literally get your links crawled immediately. This translates into quicker traffic at higher rates coming in constantly.
The other two involve higher search engine ranking and better page ranks. This allows you to link to your new and existing site with a substantial amount of money potential. At least this is what we gather from the information provided on their sales page.
When it’s all said and done the Bookmarking Demon Social Bookmarking Software will save you a ton of time. As we continued reading down the page we realized there is no sense in putting your information on each of these sites one by one. So each time you want a new link put on a social bookmarking site you can have them sent to hundreds at a time.
Well they talk about it on the sales page, but many of the ones most people have used before we’ve had nothing but problems. Either they’re overpriced, they duplicate content, have a monthly fee, or worst of all are designed for only specific sites. You may want to take a deeper look into this, because they stress that it has none of these.

For the first few months after Yahoo decided to go their own way
with natural search (and MSN decided to get serious about the
search business), the search results provided by those two could
only be described as bizarre. Enough time has now passed that
the dust has somewhat settled and there are three main (from a
traffic standpoint) sites for quality natural searches.
The term “natural search” is to distinguish true searches, as
opposed to paid advertisements which appear in the search results
for many search engines these days. I guess you can’t really
fault the search engine companies from wanting to make some money
(actually, BIG money) selling ad space, but the debate over the
virtues of natural search versus paid advertising search is
something that could take up a very large book and still have no
clear resolution…much like arguments revolving around religion
or politics.
Like most people that have been working as online home business
entrepreneurs for a few years, I was strongly conditioned to the
need to “feed the 800 pound gorilla” of the search engine world.
Basically, “if Google didn’t love you”, it was very difficult to
get any meaningful natural search traffic to your website. Since
Google was actually the search engine that was serving up the
results for most of the popular search portals, if Google didn’t
look kindly upon your site and rank you well, you would not be
ranked well for most of the high traffic search sites on the
Internet.
However, the search landscape changed dramatically early in 2004
and things have been very fluid and interesting since that time.
Its not that Google has stumbled, or become ineffective as a
search vehicle, its just that major players like Yahoo and
Microsoft (via MSN) have decided to make a major thrust into the
search business.
Having been firmly conditioned (since shortly after 1998) that
Google was the “supreme deity of search engines”, I took the
highly publicized search entries of Yahoo and MSN with more than
the proverbial “grain of salt”.
Throughout a very recent two month period, one of my websites
occupied the #5 position on Google, Yahoo, and MSN for a very
popular and important (at least in my line of business) three
word search term. This situation provided an opportunity to
measure the current popularity of each of these three search
providers.
If asked “before the fact”, I would have guessed that Google
would still be the overwhelming #1 search choice and that
Yahoo and MSN would be distant #2 and #3 choices. Therefore,
I was somewhat surprised by the results that were tabulated
during this recent 60 day period.
For the period in question, the search popularity results were
as follows:
Google: 34%
Yahoo: 31%
MSN: 20%
All others: 15%
Granted, the above results are for a single search term over a
particular 60 day time period, but the results clearly show
that Yahoo and MSN are already important players in the search
business.
Webmasters that stick to the old ways and focus entirely on
Google are missing out on a lot of search traffic these days if
they are not also well ranked by Yahoo and MSN.
