    Australian SEO Rankings Dropped on Google

    Ok, I haven’t blogged for awhile due to a busy lifestyle which is keeping me very far away from my website, as well as Twitter for thoes who follow me. Anyways, I was using www.seo-browser.com to check out how my website looks on a text browser, and to my surprise I fould hundreds of spamy links on the footer of my homepage. Atfirst I thought www.seo-browser.com was just broken as I would never add random links to spam websites. But it turns outI got hacked!

    I have finally embraced Twitter – Follow me!

    Ok, I never thought I’d say this but Twitter is actually pretty cool. At first I had no idea how I could use it and hence I decided to make it a private diary of what I do during the day. However when I started following people, I realised that it could actually be a very powerful social networking tool. Anyways, no point for me to rant about the greatness of Twitter since there are heaps of posts out there that does that already. So for thoes who has Twitter already, Follow me @sicnarftea, for thoes who don’t, join twitter and check it out, follow everyone you know and use…

    My blog is now worth $27,097.92 according to Technorati!

    My blog is worth $27,097.92.How much is your blog worth? Not long ago, I made a blog post about my blog being worth a grand total of $3,951.78 USD, well now it has zoomed all the way up to $27,097.92 USD according to the cool widget made by Business Opportunity weblog which checks the number of inbound links from the almighty Technorati databases. Heck, I am finally closing in on $50,000 USD, gotta keep up the good work. By the way, for those who don’t know, this is completely fictionally and my blog is not really worth the advertised $27kUSD. Just to clarify things, my blog is not really of…

    Thanks for the free links

    Just wanted to say thanks to the people linking to me, actually means alot to me, even though I haven’t been posting much recently, its great to see that people actually still read my relatively senseless and sometimes boring posts. I will make more of an effort to post about SEO and related topics, after I close off some of my ventures =)

    Link building by being a guest blogger

    More often than not, bloggers hit a mental brick wall which would hinder their creativity when producing new posts. Every blogger has experienced this at least once for many different personal and environmental reasons that forces them to stop blogging for a few days or even weeks. This is where a guest blogger comes in to save the day.

    People paying for blog posts uses Alexa as a ranking score

    I have recently joined MyBlogLog as you can see from the neat little widget on my side bar to the right. Upon joining, I have discovered many bloggers which are making money via Adsense, CPM ads and the most popular method was via PayPerPost. Though I have never experienced this myself, as I generate most of my blogging income via CPM, Adsense and Intext ads, it seems that your blog will need to have a high alexa ranking in order to increase your PayPerPost earnings.

    My blog is worth $3,951.78 according to Technorati

    My blog is worth $3,951.78.How much is your blog worth? It turns out that my blog is worth a grand total of $3,951.78 US dollars (or is it Australian?) according to the number of technorati calculated incoming links and mentions of my blog. My previous weblog host LiveHouse.com.au is worth a nice sum of $57,018.54 (no where near what I got when I sold it) and my favourite SEO blog Seomoz.org is worth a crazy $2,397,036.84. Now, all I need to do is figure out how I can convert those numbers into real hard cold cash and buy myself a new car.

    The forumla for being a top Australian blogger

    As a search engine optimiser, I have always been interested in different types of lists which bloggers and authority figures conjure up. One recently list have caught my attention, and that is the infamous Top 100 Australian Bloggers list made by Meg. The aim of this list is to formulate the ultimate Australian Blogroll which ultimately provides Australian bloggers with the much needed attention it currently lacks.

    The powers of a united blogger’s network

    I’ve been thinking recently of the possibility for a united blogger’s network of some sort. Basically a close knit network of bloggers whom specialises in the same field (or niche) and would comment on products and services within their niche. These different networks of bloggers will eventually have the power to control their specialised niche if they can come to a consensus of what they write.

    Linking in a blog makes the blogosphere go round

    There has been a common misunderstanding that linking some how affects your ranking negatively, as though you bleed page rank or something. This is of course wrong and many websites have been penalised when not enough out bound links have been established. However, it doesn’t seem to affect bloggers as much as linking is one of the high lights for a post.

    Readers motivate bloggers to write more for readers

    As the title says it, readers motivates bloggers to write more so that readers have more stuff to read. Its a never ending cycle in the blogosphere, that is unless one or the other suddenly changes. However if all things remain the same, bloggers will go into a never ending cycle of blogging about their life of things that they don’t really care about.

    Can blogging make you rich or not?

    Recently, there has been many articles online and offline (on magazines such as Cosmo and Cleo – my fiance reads them) regarding people getting famous by blogging online. Of course fame and riches goes hand in hand in most cases and the people mentioned are most certainly a lot more well of than they were before they started blogging.

    A new blog symbolises a new beginning

    Over the many years of blogging starting all the way back in 1999 (yes, you guessed it – blogger.com) I have started and abandoded many blogs. Many of which are of decent quality with great & entertaining content. My most recent blog was at LiveHouse.com.au, an Australian blog host which I founded and funded. It was a personal blog of my daily encounters & contains many links and goodies. Unfortunately, I sold LiveHouse.com.au for a heathy profit and eventually lost interest in my blog.
