Tweetglide vs Twitter For SEO

By Andy Beard | Published: December 7, 2009

Twitter deciding to nofollow links 2 years ago really annoyed me.

When they decided to close all loopholes in creating an active link within the bio area, it prevented me linking to my disclosure policy – that annoyed me as well, especially with all the terrible attempts of providing adequate disclosure within paid tweets that are currently being used/proposed.
There was a huge outcry from the SEO community.

Social Power Linking Review

By Andy Beard | Published: August 17, 2007

There is only one small detail that prevents me from immediately whipping out my credit card in the next 30 seconds and buying Social Power Linking, but for many people that small detail is actually the primary reason they would make a purchase.

Its Not The Quality Of The Product

I have experienced some of Jacks training in the past, and it is always phenomenal, he gives so much valuable information and presents it in a way that is easy for anyone to understand. I have absolutely no doubt that Social Power Linking will be no exception to the rule.

It Is Not

Wordpress SEO – Siloing vs Massive Ball Linking With Tags

By Andy Beard | Published: June 14, 2007

This is not the definitive guide to Wordpress SEO, and I highly doubt I am the right person to write one, in fact I am not sure who would be. That being said this partial guide on a couple of aspects of Wordpress SEO might offer a broader perspective on what is possible than I have seen previously published.

Portal Feeder vs StomperNet

By Andy Beard | Published: May 4, 2007

This page will finish loading eventually and is certainly killing my bandwidth…

I am sure people’s mailboxes are full of emails with various people promoting these two communities, which are going head-to-head with their launches. Feature wise they are probably only similar in the fact that both provide a backend community for advice and training, but I am not going to compare feature sets.

Portal Feeder 2.0 Example Site (Not a Review)

By Andy Beard | Published: April 27, 2007

A month or so back I was attempting to arrange some kind of head-to-head comparison between Portal Feeder 2.0, one of their competitors, and what you can do with Wordpress and some free or relatively cheap plugins.

The Ultimate Wordpress Htaccess File?

By Andy Beard | Published: April 2, 2007

Canonicalization is a serious problem for webmasters, just read this latest entry by Matt Cutts or this great post from John Andrews. However telling webmasters that they should fix these issues isn't enough, webmasters & bloggers need solutions.

In Search of the Ultimate Htaccess file

A couple of months ago Alister Cameron posted a simple solution to .htaccess such that you didn't need to use a plugin to convert URLs using www to URLs without.

At the time I suggested a couple of improvements, and also mentioned I would post about it here on my blog, hopefully to help

Are Press Releases More Cost Effective Than PPC Advertising?

By Andy Beard | Published: March 31, 2007

Toolbar Pagerank | Ball Linking

By Andy Beard | Published: January 25, 2007

Google have finally updated their toolbar pagerank for this site, not just on the front page, but also a lot of the deeper pages. Not all of them – some of those devoid of pagerank should probably have some, others probably shouldn’t especially moved content that hasn’t been given enough love.

UK Internet Marketing Castrated | SI (3429 of 2006)

By Andy Beard | Published: January 5, 2007

I regret to inform you that this is serious news, and if you run your business from the UK, and have a website, this probably affects you.

It affects you even more, and places you at a serious competitive disadvantage, if you are involved with Niche or Internet Marketing, in topics you don’t want your competitors knowing about, especially if click-fraud attacks are a danger.

Performancing | PayPerPost Deal Off

By Andy Beard | Published: January 5, 2007

Nick Wilson has announced that the deal is off.

In some way it is a shame as I believe PayPerPost could have steered metrics into something exceptional.

I will still most likely use it more, but only if I can host the open source application myself without providing it as a service. I wouldn’t want to use a service that is hosted by a “bunch of SEOs” i.e. potential competitors.

Stomper Net 2.0 – Joint Ventures Redefined

By Andy Beard | Published: January 4, 2007

Lots of people may have watched the launch of the Original Stomper Network a few months ago. From all accounts those who joined are happy they did, but this is definitely a course for people already making serious money online. If a small percentage turnover increase won't pay for the course many times over, it isn't something to seriously think about.

This is now quite an old article

How a Blogroll can kill your Pagerank

By Andy Beard | Published: November 7, 2006

I followed a link from Digg a few minutes a go, read the story, and as I frequently do on any site I visit, I snooped around a little.

I actually do exactly the same every time someone writes a blog post referring to me and pings my blog. It is the polite thing to do, and maybe I can add something to the conversation. It also allows me to relate any comment to the person who is writing about me, either positively or negatively. Everyone is entitled to opposing views. What is often important is why they have an opposing view, and it isn’t always obvious.

I cancelled my subscription to Portal Feeder fairly early, and probably a good thing in hindsight as not long after that my internet marketing career took a 9 month hiatus.

I know my Win98SE installation is severely messed up, so Portal Feeder (desktop) not working on it is no great shock. Maybe it is fixable.
