SEO Expert Blog

Please someone tell me where I can get the drugs Mr. Ballmer is on.

John Chow runs a very successful blog about how to make money on the internet. One of the reasons for his success is that he is a linkbaiting expert. A very smart technique he makes use of is running contests, that you can enter by linking back to his blog using certain keyphrases as anchor text.

In his latest contest he is giving away a Microsoft Zune worth about $250.00. As you can see, it works.

Good news for Webmasters and SEOs. The big three in the search engine market Google, Microsoft and Yahoo agreed to support Google's Sitemaps protocol.

Thus the Google sitemaps protocol has become a de-facto Web standard. Congrats to Google for one further step towards world domination.

You can find more information on the new web site: www.sitemaps.org.

msdewey.com is a search service powered by Microsoft's Live Search. A nice looking woman is distracting the user. Moreover the presentation of the search results is not really user friendly.

The idea is not too bad but the implementation is a usability horror. If you really want to search for something this is probably not the site you will visit.

Microsoft's Live search now offers the command LinkFromDomain to search for outgoing links from web sites. Checking the results for SEO-Expert-Blog.com reveals that this is actually working quite well. Have fun playing around with this new functionality.
