There are a number of different types of query you can run at Google, and each one offers valuable information to SEOs. Each type of query is run by prefacing your query with a “search operator”. You may have seen them before, things like allinanchor, allintext etc, but what do these operators actually do, and how can you use them?

To use any of these operators, simply go to Google, enter the operator, and then your search query. Let’s look at them. We will look at a few this week, and then cover the rest next week.

Landing Page

A landing page is a website page that is created for one purpose – to persuade the site visitor to convert into a customer by making a sale, completing a form (thereby becoming a qualified lead), signing up for a newsletter, etc.
We provide this landing page quick reference so you can pull it out every time you are creating a persuasive landing page. It is divided into 4 sections and is intended to be an all-inclusive tip sheet.
Most importantly, consider that you have 8 seconds or less to convince your visitor to act. If you haven’t convincingly made your case in this time then your visitor will move on and will be lost, as the Internet has created the most fickle customer in salës history.

Hi Again…

maya here…

I just got an email about Mike Filsaime’s Free Report
called – “The Death of Internet
Marketing”

I will admit, like you may be feeling now, that I thought it was some
hyped up offer to get me to join for free and get some offer…

…Turns out I was wrong. Way wrong.

The bottom line is, this report really opened my eyes to what really is the
death of Internet marketing. The good news is, the report also shows you what
you need to know to succeed in the near future.

The times are changing and I it would be a shame for anyone to not read this
report and fail like many will.

I read it, and I wanted to share it with you ASAP.

I recommend you take a break from what ever it is you are doing if you can and
get access to this report now.

Consider your future success by going here now…

PS – Mike says it will only be available for a few weeks at most so do
not delay…

Blog
Blogs are a great way to get started authoring content and sharing your knowledge and insights with other people. Plus, mix work and play – and you can get rich doing this. You don’t have to be an MBA-accredited author by any means. However, there are some rules to play by, and I’ll break those out below. We will talk about the top blogs, practicalities around blogs and creative ways to get started, including how you could possibly ruin your good-standing ranking and having to change your Search Engine Optimization strategy.

Chitika
Aku heran deh, untuk kesekian kalinya situsku ditolak sama Chitika .. nasib, nasib ~X(
kemarin kalo nggak salah adalah situsku yang ke sembilan yang di tolak aplikasinya…
di imel balasannya ada keterangan seperti ini :

Based on past experience we found that our eMiniMalls program works best with (but not limited to) websites that have:
- significant traffic, preferably more than 10,000 impressions per month
- rich in content that relates to product merchandising, i.e., product reviews, product-centric discussions etc.
- family friendly content in English
- target audiences from US, Canada, UK, France, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Italy, Netherlands, and Spain. As we expand our merchant base we will be able to cater to traffic from other regions as well in the future

Padahal dari ke-9 situsku aku dah coba mulai dari situs yang online sejak Juli 2005 sampai yang terbaru, yang dah punya PR 4 sampe yang masih nol, yang ada produk yang dijual sampai cuma artikel doang … kenapa yah sentimen banget ama aku ..hiks :-<
padahal aku dah pake imel yang berbeda2 loh juga nama registrant-nya.

Rada iri juga sih, karena pernah aku lihat satu blog yang "kursi” (kurang isi) dan cuma ngomongin curhat aja bisa nampilin iklan camera/elektronik dari Chitika ..

dibagian terakhir imel penolakan ada tulisan :

In an effort to bring value to our publishers, we carefully consider each submission. During our review process we have determined that Chitika | eMiniMalls might not be a good match for your website.

……….. hmmmmm kayaknya lebih tepat, …or my website might not be a good match for your advertising 8-}

ah, wat de hek :-j

Tim Converse, the “spam fighter” at Yahoo, has a fun post he named Search engine optimization (SEO) from black to white. He tries to add nine colors between black and white. For example, a “dark gray” SEO is an SEO that “collects (aka steals) random text from other sites, and uses it to create thousands (or millions) of pages targeting particular queries. The pages have nothing original of value, but do have ads.” The new shades of black and white include; Dark inky black, Charcoal, Dark gray, Slate gray, Gray, Light gray, Off-white, White, and Luminescent pearly white.

Today’s SearchDay article, A Closer Look at Yahoo Shortcuts, is the third in our series looking at the special features search engines have implemented to speed up access to the information you care most about. The first two were A Closer Look at Ask’s Smart Answers and A Closer Look At Microsoft’s Instant Answers.

Seems that just last week I mentioned a shopping comparison engine launching a color search feature. Well, this week it’s Smarter’s turn to take the colorful spotlight.

Smarter.com today launched visual search. Visual search can be found by clicking on the Clothing & Accessories tab or by searching for any product within that section. Right now it’s is a bit hidden as the consumer has to click on a small link under the header.

Differentiator here is that Smarter’s visual search is all about clothing. Users select gender, then a top (shirt, sweater, etc.), then a bottom (pants, shorts, etc.), then choose the color for each. Smarter then returns two bands of products (the top on top, the bottom on the bottom) so users can see what the shirt and shorts might look like together.

IAC posted Q3 earning results, and part of that included results for Ask.com. Bloomberg reports that Ask.com’s revenue increased 62-percent but at a cost of $2.1 million. The $2.1 million more than doubled from their previous operating cost.
