SEO Expert Blog

Blogschrott's blog carnival Ziele mit dem eigenen Blog (Goals with your blog) ended yesterday. 73 blogs participated which is a huge success. 14-year old (!) Yannick, who initiated this blog carnival, also wrote a post about his goals so there are actually 74 posts about this topic. Except for my post all other posts are in German. So if you speak German - I know that many of my readers do - go and read them when you find the time. The links are listed below.

This is the first time I take part in a blog carnival on SEO Expert Blog. The topic is goals with your blog. Yannick Eckl who runs the German blog Blogschrott.net initiated this blog carnival and will collect posts until 5^th, July 2007. English posts are welcome.

Today I noticed a new feature on MyBlogLog. Members can now tag communities. You can tag your own communities and all other communities too. The users who added a tag are displayed when you move the cursor over a tag.

In this video tutorial Michael Gray from Graywolf's SEO Blog explains how to avoid duplicate content in your wordpress blog. One technique is to deny certain sections from being spidered by search engines, for example the archive section. The information given can of course also be applied to other content management systems, such as Drupal or Joomla.

Today ReviewMe opened it's doors to bloggers and advertisers. This post is a sponsored review of ReviewMe.

So what is review me all about? The concept behind ReviewMe is similar to that of PayPerPost with one major difference. Bloggers who write paid reviews about products are required to disclose their posts as advertising.

The concept of sponsored blog posts earned a lot of negative critics in the blogosphere. The main point of criticism was that bloggers can't be trusted any more and will loose credibility.
