Blogs are the darlings of the search engines, but most are not optimized. This blog explores search engine optimization, SEO, blog optimization, and other topics related to web marketing and getting some darned traffic to look at what you have to say...
I just got a message that someone had posted on a forum:
This fall's US Senate campaign in the state of Tennessee will likely be between Republican Ed Bryant and Democrat Harold Ford Jr. Both are currently in the US House of Representatives.
I just read that Bryant's campaign registered the domain name www.FordforSenate.com. If you type that in you go to the Bryant campaign web site.
If you're so inclined to complain, here's Bryant's contact info:
Ed Bryant for Senate
5214 Maryland Way Suite 304
Brentwood, TN 37027
Phone: 615-373-2327
Fax: 615-373-9851
Email: info@edbryantforsenate.com
Leave it to a politician to make themselves look stupid. Do they think that someone looking for Ford will then be interested in Bryant? Do they think this will sway voters? I think the petty meanness of this action WILL help to sway voters, but not as intended.

BarkSlope.com releases a blog about current dog news and trends. First E-commerce dog boutique to release a blog on the Yahoo Store Platform.
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) March 23, 2006 -- BarkSlope.com, one of the internets leading dog boutiques, officially launched the Bark Slope Dog Blog last month. BarkSlope.com is one of the first dog boutiques in its class to offer an active blog to its customers.
We see the dog blog as a great way to increase our online presence and authority within the dog community. We want to be seen as a recognizable resource, not just a retail store, says Bark Slope President and resident blogger, Kim Zlatin. The dog boutique industry is very crowded and we wanted to set ourselves apart from other online boutiques; the blog was the perfect opportunity to do just that.
Blogs are increasingly beating out e-commerce and corporate websites in search engine rankings. Since they are informational in nature, blogs are considered a search engine friendly form of website promotion. Blogs include fresh content that not only fare well with the search engines, but they tend to draw repeat visitors to a website.
The Bark Slope Dog Blog will focus on important dog related news and trends and will also cover lighter topics such as dog related events and fashion tips. There are many dog blogs in existence, but few, if any, are attached to a high-ranking E-commerce site. While it is common to find these blogs speaking from a dogs perspective, the Bark Slope Dog Blog will be written from the perspective of a modern dog owner and entrepreneur. The blog will be updated on a regular basis to ensure that the subscribers have fresh reading material of interest to them as well as helping to increase the recognition of the Bark Slope brand.
About BarkSlope.com:
www.BarkSlope.com runs on the Yahoo! Store Merchant Solutions platform and has been online since June of 2005 offering high end dog products including http://www.barkslope.com/dog-beds-main.html dog beds, http://www.barkslope.com/dog-carriers.html dog carriers, bowls, spa items and http://www.barkslope.com/dogclothes.html dog clothing to clientele with discriminating taste. The Bark Slope Dog Blog is the first in a series of innovative marketing strategies aimed at increasing website traffic and brand loyalty for Bark Slope.

MarketingExperiments.com Web Clinic to Address Click Fraud Protection and Prevention
March 29th clinic will discuss how online marketers can combat click fraud when running pay-per-click campaigns
[ClickPress, Wed Mar 22 2006] How can a company combat click fraud when running pay-per-click (PPC) marketing campaigns? How can it minimize the chance of being targeted and find out if it has already been paying for fraudulent clicks?
These questions and more will be answered at the next MarketingExperiments.com (MEC) Web Clinic, to be held Wednesday, March 29, 2006 at 4:00 p.m. EST. The 60-minute teleconference is offered to interested parties free of charge, with prior registration requested.
The genesis of this Web Clinic came when we at MEC thought we might have been victims of click fraud ourselves, said Nick Usborne, senior editor at MEC. We set out to answer some serious questions about click fraud and found answers that we think every online marketer should know about in order to protect themselves and their business. PPC campaigns can be an integral part of a marketing plan, but as awareness of click fraud grows, it is becoming necessary to learn how to protect both the integrity and the return on investment of online campaigns.
During the Web Clinic, MEC analysts will share the findings of their research as presented in a 10-point plan. This plan offers information on minimizing a companys likelihood of becoming a victim of click fraud and also provides instructions on identifying click fraud attacks as and when they occur.
Those interested in attending the free clinic can sign up at www.marketingexperiments.com/webconf or by e-mailing editor@marketingexperiments.com.

A New Solution for Finding the Best General Web Sites in a World Wide Web Deluged with the MassesStreamlined catalogue of the best internet web sites solves problem for frustrated surfers seeking quality information in style. Indefinet.com aims to fulfill the need to filter the best resources on the internet for the public to enjoy an optimum web experience. A web site for tomorrow, IndefiNet.com rejects priorities of submission related income and mass inclusion to offer a genuine, quality web experience.
Kensington, London (PRWEB) March 9, 2006 -- Internet users suffer a scarcity of resources which list a streamlined and organized catalogue of the best general web sites. It is common knowledge the top directories offer a broad-based service which can swamp the user with insignificant/mediocre listings. A new web site has been created to solve the problem for Internet users internationally. IndefiNet.com Director Mr Terry A Browne believes this will greatly enhance the public's Web-surfing experience and help to provide a much needed solution for the market.
IndefiNet.com aims to only list web sites with the most prominent information which will be of good use to the public. There are twenty-six categories within it's 'Business & Commercial' section ranging from the 'Arts' to 'Travel' and everything in-between. Submissions are not based on a fee paying system, but are filtered purely by the quality of the web site submitted, hence emphasising indefiNet.com's dedication to quality over profits. There is also a 'Domestic' section for the public to submit their personal/domestic web sites and have them featured.
The two largest and most popular directories are DMOZ and Yahoo. DMOZ has (as of 10 March 2006) 5,267,449 listings and Yahoo is estimated to be over 3,000,000. Not all of these listed web sites are top quality, nor the most useful.
Search engines and directories have a way to go before truly satisfying public demands. IndefiNet.com is here to provide a service the public will be happy with by implementing quality as its main criteria, over the quantity of web sites available. Mr Terry A Browne commented.
IndefiNet.com was conceived in January 2004 and was an ongoing development until it's completion in February 2006. IndefiNet.com provides a catalogue of over 13,000 hand-picked and specialised general web sites organized into categories. Other features include a multiple search engine Web search feature, a forum for conscientious intellectuals, and access to online music. These services are geared to provide users with an enjoyable and smooth Web experience. The main feature of indefiNet.com is its catalogue of web sites, whilst users can connect to a variety of online radio stations for entertainment whilst surfing, join the 'forum for conscientious intellectuals' to discuss and debate important concerns in life, or search the Web using a variety of top quality search engines if they want to find specific information quickly.

Viral and Buzz Marketing Releases InfoSpace Re-designed WebFetch.com Search Comparison ToolSearch & Directory and Mobile Company InfoSpace, Inc. (http://www.infospaceinc.com) is to use a viral marketing element to release its re-designed WebFetch.com Search Comparison Tool which now incorporates MSN search.
London, UK, (PRWEB) March 10, 2006 -- Viral marketing campaign to be used by Search & Directory and Mobile Company InfoSpace to release re-designed WebFetch.com Search Comparison Tool including MSN additions
{InsertImage}
Search & Directory and Mobile Company InfoSpace, Inc. is to use a viral marketing campaign to release its re-designed WebFetch.com Search Comparison Tool which now incorporates MSN search.
The Webfetch.com Search Comparison Tool can be added to Websites and Blogs from WebFetch.com for free by Website owners at http://comparesearchengines.webfetch.com/blog.aspx, by simply adding a small HTML code into their Webpages. The viral element to the tool allows the user to send an invite to a friend to experience the benefits of metasearch and try the service. It is the first use of viral marketing in the EU and UK by InfoSpace to create a word-of-mouth buzz around the products and services it delivers.
The Search Comparison Tool that drives its results from WebFetch.com for the EU and UK compares search engine results from Ask, Google, MSN and Yahoo! from a microsite that allows searches to be undertaken and then compared. By bringing search results together in one resource, InfoSpace illustrates how WebFetch.com delivers the most relevant results on the Web.
Dominic Trigg, vice president at InfoSpace Search & Directory explains, Only 1.1 percent of search results from the top four search engines (Ask, Google, MSN and Yahoo!) are the same. The WebFetch.com Search Comparison Tool shows what the different results are across these search engines and clearly explains their outcomes from searches. As a result of this, the tool demonstrates that business and consumer users can get more top results in one place using the WebFetch.com metasearch engine.
The new design and improvements take the user through a Flash demonstration and allows them to make real-time searches displaying the results that have been returned by each search engine. The tool shows how many results appear on the first page of that search engine, how many results are completely unique to that search engine and then moves onto the next search engine to do the same.
Once the tool has returned results back from all of the search engines, it then shows the Webs top results (using green buttons) and WebFetch.coms top results (using orange buttons). By hovering over the green and orange buttons the user is able to see the origin of each search result and if desired enables them clickthrough to see those results in that search engine. There is also a blue button with a down arrow that may be clicked on to allow the user to switch the results of the engines so that they can see alternative views of the results and overlaps.
The WebFetch.com Search Comparison Tool exemplifies how InfoSpace private labelled search can be used to increase loyalty and revenue across a business Websites by bringing more relevant results to their user-base from the top engines with just one click. It was a natural choice to use a viral hook to have Website owners and the users themselves tell their colleagues, friends and relatives about their metasearch experiences having used the tools. The bonus for Website owners is that the instantly tap in the power InfoSpace metasearch engine WebFetch.com presenting an alternative method to source more relevant search results to the Web audiences using their site for free, adds Trigg

What's Next for the Pixel Craze? PixelAdManager.comMove over Million Dollar Homepage -- There is a new kid in town. PixelAdManager.com is the next generation of advertising online through automated pixel ads.
(PRWEB) March 10, 2006 -- Whether youve heard about the pixel craze or not, Ilya Pozin, of Pixel Ad Manager has developed a way to cash in on the idea and give businesses a new way to earn additional revenue from their websites.
The pixel craze was started by Alex Tew, a 21 year old British college student who came up with the idea of selling pixels on a website. He created a website called the milliondollarhomepage.com. Alex did all of this to ensure he could graduate college without a huge debt of student loans attached to his diploma. Brilliant idea right?
Well, the problem with Mr. Tews development is that it only offers pixel images as a one time fee- with no benefit for the website owner besides traffic. That fad is slowly dying out. Pozin, asks, How about letting website owners make some cold hard cash with a similar idea? Pixel Ad Manager is leading the way for all businesses to do just that! But, how do they do it?
Research is showing us that pixel ads are increasing in popularity over banner ads. Regular banner ads are boring and are often just rotated on sites. With Pozins idea, pixel banner ads can display anywhere from one advertisement to hundreds of advertisements, all on one banner. A website owner can now make a banner with as many pixels as they want and accept payments from advertisers immediately. This provides more visibility for each advertiser and more revenue for the website owner. In addition, website owners can put the same banner on unlimited number of pages and sites. Its a win-win situation.
To find out more about how to earn extra revenue from websites by offering pixel ads visit Pixel Ad Manager.
