In Search of an Authority Link?

I’m perhaps going to be fairly controversial in this post but then perhaps not, I’m not too sure?

I’ve just received an email a few minutes ago from another marketer who I know quite well and wouldn’t want to criticise publicly because I think that would be unprofessional but the email made me fairly uncomfortable and that is going some…

The email revolved around the concept of .mil links and the concept of authority links. Now I think if we’re not too careful we all stand the chance of missing the plot big time over this.

Firstly let me state my position and background in this and you will then at least see that this isn’t some shameless “lame brained” attempt at jealousy because someone else has “beaten me to the jump” over this.

I’ve been sitting on a substantial four figure database of .mil domains for the last few months now and those of you who know me really well will have known that I’ve discussed the prospect of this with you. I’ve not done anything with them as to be honest I’ve been completely at a cross roads with what to do with them.

Sure, it would have been very tempting and the easy way out just to unload the database or release elements in snippets and just exploit the living daylights out of it but for the first time in my life I just never found my way round to doing it and that after a few months has told me something.

The turning point came the other day when I ran a test piece of research as to what exactly there was out there in possible link inventory and unearthed a whole series of blogs that were open for comments. I thought OK let’s give this a go and see where we go from here and then I read the blog (always a good idea) and thought (as we say over here in Northern Ireland) “catch yourself on here Steve”.

The Blog was an exchange between a Lieutenant General and an old soldier who was discussing the merits of basic training at Fort Benning amongst others and related to the basic training and merits of modern methods over the old. Now as I say this was a blog, that was unmoderated, open for comments and was dofollow, it satisfied all the criteria necessary for technically a good inbound link.

The usual ideal criteria were present i.e. massive inbound links amount and all from the usual domain suffixes i.e. plenty of .Govs, .EDU’s and so on but then I thought, does this comment I’m about to make and link I’m about to place actually contribute constructively to the “Food Chain” here?

I know damn all about basic training in the US Military, heck I wasn’t even a good Boy Scout when I was kid so what am I doing here? Then it all made sense.

Get the heck out of here and then think.

What was it that made me go there in the first place and it all suddenly made sense about what is going on and we’re all chasing the wrong dollar in the wrong arena.

You see what was it that supposedly made me go there? It was part of the endless quest for an “Authority Link” and then I realised that by and large we are all getting this massively wrong and by doing so giving the Search Engines a massive laugh at the same time.

You see the initial criteria was, this must be an authority domain as it was very rare, had lots of inbound links pointing to it from very “sexy” and “desirable” domain suffixes i.e. .Gov’s, .EDU’s etc etc but then I thought hang on here Steve, you’re chasing the domain suffix here not the site or content itself.

Now I am sure that if you run a site based around selling US Military Memorabilia or Army Surplus equipment then it all perhaps made sense though I am still not too sure how this old soldier and Lieutenant General would react when they saw my so called meaningful contribution about Training with a link through to a client site about Fitness Equipment.

Now there are certain web domains and categories that you can get away with this i.e. it’s fair game on most .EDU’s and .Govs as in most cases they want to set up some sort of exchange of dialogue and as long as you comment properly and enter into the exchange of communication responsibly then it doesn’t actually make that much difference as to what the domain you are using as your target link is…as long as it’s legal.

Now inbound links from somewhere like Kings College in Cambridge, The Physics Lab at the University of London or Yale, Harvard, Stanford etc are true Authority links because of the nature of the site themselves and the kudos of the domain suffix involved i.e. the .EDU suffix.

I am not too sure whether the same applies to .mil suffixes. Sure they are rare but then so is a four leaf shamrock but that doesn’t make a site about Irelands very own native vegetation an authority site or source (unless of course you have a site about rare forms of Flora and Fauna).

Also in the current climate with world events being what they are I am not too sure whether I fancied arousing the wrath of the US Military and a certain Lieutenant General.

I don’t think this is the case, it is more a case of just thankfully being able to step back and take some time out and re evaluate my thinking and criteria about the search for an Authority Link.

Rareness of a domain suffix does not grant it “Authority Status”, 100% top notch gold plated content from an independent source with no axe to grind does.

Therefore in my mind, .EDU’s and .Govs still rank top of the pile not because of the domain suffix but because of the nature of the sites themselves and the content by and large to be found on them.

The Hidden Potential Darkside of Googles latest activities

On Monday April 11th, Google announced officially to the world that the Panda Update now applied to Google results outside of North America.

http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/04/high-quality-sites-algorithm-goes.html

Now on the face of it the new update has by and large seemed OK so far to us here at “Leveraging Central”. If anything the only thing we have noticed is that the average SERPS level of pages has risen and that for some reason the Nett Yield on the Adsense units has also increased. We’re not too sure whether there is any correlation here or whether this has more to do with the start of the Advertising Second Quarter and hence more budget being freed up but nonetheless any increase in revenue is gratefully appreciated in these “inclement economic times”.

So back to what Google have been up to.

As we have mentioned before, the update appears to be concentrating very much on ensuring that quality reigns supreme but then Google go and do what only Google do best and that is to push things so far that ultimately they screw up.

When you consider matters pertaining to Google I’m often reminded of the old sixties classic duet between Frank and Nancy Sinatra “Something Stupid” where the line goes “and then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid….” only in this case it’s doing something and that stupid thing in our books is the new addition of the facility within the new Google Chrome Extension that allows viewers to block domains from their results if required. Now this in isolation is not necessarily a bad thing if handled ethically and correctly but therein lies the rub. This facility has other features and aspects too.

In a couple of comments that I found disconcerting Google via Matt Cutts let this one slip out of the bag:

” If installed, the extension also sends blocked site information to Google, and we will study the resulting feedback and explore using it as a potential ranking signal for our search results.”

Another Google insider also stated:

“While we’re not currently using the domains people block as a signal in ranking, we’ll look at the data and see whether it would be useful as we continue to evaluate and improve our search results in the future.”

Now as Chris Crum in Webpronews.com said:

“One has to wonder how Google would use such a signal in a way that could not be gamed by people getting their competitors’ sites blocked. There are other potential abuse scenarios as well. Personal spite comes to mind.

It’s possible that it could become a ranking signal and nobody will ever know for sure. Google will not reveal its entire list of signals. They may keep this one close to the chest, although that doesn’t mean it won’t still get abused based on hunches.”

Overall the new “algo” change could be a good thing but to be honest, my advice to all of our Clients in our SEO Division is to really consider diversifying all of their SEO Promotion and to proactively go after good results in Yahoo and Bing as to be honest no one knows where this new Google Direction is going to end up.

Lastly, we have a few copies of the FUDForum and Nabble Lists (both $15 each) that were available last week still available so if anyone is still interested in positively diversifying their IP Back Links structure (and who shouldn’t) then get in touch.

Pandas Still on the Loose plus new Links Service available

Hi Gang,

May I preface this newsletter / email with a few words to those
of our readers and members who are either based in Japan or have
Relatives / Loved ones affected by the events of the recent few
days.

May I just simply say this? You are in our thoughts and prayers
and from all of those here may I wish you respite and care from
the tragedy and if you are one of those unlucky enough to have
been affected by personal tragedy then may whatever deity it is
you worship, may they look after you in the days and months ahead.

Without wishing to sound facetious at this point, to the matter
in hand and that is, further analysis of the Panda Update.

No doubt like you all, I appear to have been inundated with material
and information about this and to clear up some confusion about
possible conflicts may I just say that there was only just one
update form Google and that the “Panda” and “Farmer Updates” are
on and the same.

The official term for the update as far as Google are concerned
(well Messrs Cutts and Singal anway) is “Panda” but as the main
thrust of the update was to redress the situation primarily
surrounding Content Farms and/or issues of  excessive Dupe Content
the Update has become unofficially known as the Farmer Update.

As I said, this can be confusing and misleading and all of those
new products that have arisen from many a so called expert proclaiming
the upside and opportunities of the Farmer Update should technically
not be so confusing (makes you wonder what else they’re getting
slightly out of kilter but….) more misleading to the rest of
us.

Onwards with our take on it however (Free of charge ?). Now
today’s contribution comes by and large from some information
gleaned from Word tracker and our aim on the days and weeks
ahead is to try and bring to you information from as many sources
as possible to help you work your way through the update

Apparently, the aims of Panda are noble: to remove poor quality
sites from the top of Google’s results pages. Or as Matt Cutts,
Google’s head of spam, puts it in a blog post announcing Panda:

“This update is designed to reduce rankings for low-quality
sites–sites which are low-value add for users, copy content
from other websites or sites that are just not very useful.
At the same time, it will provide better rankings for high-quality
sites–sites with original content and information such as research,
in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on.”

The last thing Google wants is searchers being unhappy with
what they find. They might try another search engine if that
happens.

Few people other than the low-quality sites’ owners and their
investors will have a problem with that.

But all major Google updates leave ‘collateral damage’ behind
them: sites that just don’t match the target or deserve to be
penalised. Google are aware of this and so have asked those with
“a high quality site that has been negatively affected by this
change” to let them know about it here.

So if you have a high quality site that’s been adversely affected
by Panda Farmer then let Google know.

So what Factors are likely to trigger off a Panda Attack?

- A high % of duplicate content. This might apply to a page,
a site or both. If it’s a site measure then that might contribute
to each page’s evaluation.

- A low amount of original content on a page or site.

- A high % (or number) of pages with a low amount of original
content.

- A high amount of inappropriate (they don’t match the search
queries a page does well for) adverts, especially high on the page.

- Page content (and page title tag) not matching the search queries
a page does well for.

- Unnatural language on a page including heavy-handed on-page
SEO (‘over-optimization’ to use a common oxymoron). Eg, unnatural
overuse of a word on a page.

- High bounce rate on page or site.

- Low visit times on page or site.

- Low % of users returning to a site.

- Low click through % from Google’s results pages (for page
or site).

- High % of boilerplate content (the same on every page).

- Low or no quality inbound links to a page or site (by count or %).

- Low or no mentions or links to a page or site in social media
and from other sites.

If any of these factors is relevant to Panda, it is unlikely
that they will be so on their own.

Combinations of factors will be required to get ‘Panda points’
(and points do not mean prizes in this game). Panda points will
be added up. Cross a threshold (Panda’s redline) and you are
‘blocked’.

‘Blocked’ is Matt Cutts’ word, used in that Wired interview:
“Whenever we look at the most blocked sites, it did match our
intuition and experience”. This suggests that …

… if a site gets defined as low quality then a penalty is applied
(it is ‘blocked’).

Google have since said that “low quality content on part of a
site can impact a site’s ranking as a whole.”

But ‘Low quality’ sites are not always ‘blocked’ (Matt’s use
of ‘most’ tells us this). So there must be exceptions to this
site-wide penalty.

Anyway enough of this at present and as and when more research
and information becomes available we’ll pass it on through.

Lastly we had a few questions sent through to us about our latest
initiative..”Precision Related Marketing”.

Precision Related Marketing” (hereinafter PRM) relates primarily
to drilling down and researching from one main keyword or phrase
an associate network of terms via Google’s Wonder Wheel and then
taking that list and data mining as many Blog Urls we can find
that fall within this keyword list and that are also available
for commenting upon.

We further refine this list until we are primarily left with
Blog Urls where the Page Rank is PR2 or greater for the Blog
Url itself and not the domain. This as you can imagine therefore
gives you a list of immense power in two categories. Firstly
the Blog Url for commenting lies within the direct theme or is
semantically linked to your main theme so is ideal for Google’s
purposes and secondly the actual Url itself for commenting upon
has been recognised by Google through its Url Page Rank as being
fairly noteworthy.

We’ve been using this technique within our own Client SEO Division
for some time now and the clients love it and as far as “Panda”
is concerned this ticks all the boxes. The comments are on relative
thematically linked pages and also pages with previously assessed
power as far as Google is concerned.

We will be rolling this programme out to our members shortly
but in the short term are going through presentations to clients
several times a day. This means that we are generating huge
surplus data sets that we cannot use within the short term
future and have been letting these go “at cost” to those members
of SLS who have blogs or networks of sites that suit whatever
particular Data Set we have available.

To give you an idea of how it works and the costs the Urls are
sold on a pro rata basis. The more powerful the page i.e. the
greater the Page Rank then the more expensive the cost. The
rate card is at present as follows:

PR7 Pages $700 per thousand Urls

PR6 Pages $600 per thousand Urls and so on down to PR 2.

One member recently bought one list from us and whilst the theme
must remain anonymous the list comprised of 8,579 Blog Urls and
the cost breakdown was as follows AT RETAIL PRICE:

PR    Unit Cost No    Total

8    800    1    0.8
7    700    3    2.1
6    600    64    38.4
5    500    360    180
4    400    1804    721.6
3    300    3157    947.1
2    200    3190    638
8579    2528

The Retail total price that we charge our clients would have
been $2,528 for 8,579 Urls for links which at a unit price is
an average 29 cents per link Url which is a steal. As this was
data generated for demo purposes we sold this particular batch
for $500 which was effectively at cost.

As this is all data that is generated by our suppliers we cannot
give this away for free but even at cost is one heck of a steal
(as they say). There is a minimum fee of $100 and if necessary
the member could have just bought the PR5-8 links if they so decided
and the charge for this would have been $221 but they decided
to go for the lot and as such we were able to pass these on at
a massive discount.

Anyway before I go on too much about this we have a few data sets
left over in the following subject themes:

Finance

Health

Iphones

Smartphones

Real Estate

Television

Technology

Stress

Anxiety

So if there are members out there who would like Urls for Links
plus Keywords in any of the areas above then get in touch and
we’ll see what we can do. Also we have an expanding list of
presentations coming up in the next few weeks and if there are
any members out there who would like additional areas covered
not mentioned above then now is the time to let us know as the
subject area matters not at all to us, this data is purely for
demo purposes and we are more than happy to pass this info through
at cost if the SLS member so wishes.

Let me know if anyone is interested.

Beware the Giant Panda

Mar 5th, 2011
by Admin.
No comments yet

Hi Gang,

Well I’ve heard it all now. First of all we had “Big Daddy”
then later on we had “Florida” and god knows what in between
and now low and behold we have the Giant Panda!!

OK in this case just known as “Panda” but for all it’s worth
the Internet’s best illustrators are all using images of the
cute and cuddly Giant Panda for illustration as opposed to its
smaller cousin the Red Panda.

I would imagine there are groups of Red Panda’s the world over
all busy consulting their Lawyers as I write, trying to fathom
out how as a group they lost out on such a PR stunt but then
there you go, life isn’t fair. If it was, updates like this
wouldn’t happen in such a manner.

Ho hum

However back to business, the latest in Google Updates hereinafter
known (according to Google itself) as the Panda Update and what
an update it was?

Rather than try and second guess exactly what has happened (who
in their right mind would want the gig of trying to second guess
Google) I thought that in this case that I’d just provide some
links to other articles arguably better written than my humble
attempts at prose where you can find slightly more reverent
opinions as to what exactly is going on:

http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2011/03/the-panda-that-hates-farms/2/

http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/02/ff_google_algorithm/

http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2011/02/google-clamp-down-content-factories/

I know I know, this update was all about “nuking” those sites
that only survive by regurgitating what others have written and
here I am doing exactly just that but heck, life is too short
and too much has been written about this update by those better
qualified than “yours truly” and my concern is more or less
“where do we go from here?”. How can we survive? How do I keep
the present Mrs Morgan in the manner to which she has become
accustomed and how do I stop my son and heir to the Morgan
family overdraft from spending all the family savings.

Well the answers to the latter are questionable but I reckon
the answer to the first i.e. “How can we survive?” is not a
million miles from the approach I counselled in my last newsletter
about surviving a “Google Dance”.

If you’re in the US and you’ve been hit (and there have been
loads) then there is nothing at present you can do immediately,
the damage is done, all you can do is sit down dispassionately
and try and think logically about how you can structure your
sites from here on in.

If you are based outside of the US and your core market is not
based round Google.com in the US then there is still time to
make some emergency adjustments if necessary as Google in their
infinite wisdom have decided to hit the US first and depending
upon the outcome and how bad the collateral damage is, hit the
rest of us at a yet to be determined later date.

It would appear that Google are after the whole sector of the
Internet that exists by republishing in all shapes or forms other
peoples content. The sort of sites that appear to suffering the
most through this update funnily enough are the major Article
Directories such as Ezine Articles ( apparently they have lost
over 25% of their traffic due to this update), Hub pages, Suite101,
wisegeek, buzzle, associated content and also one of my favourites,
Articlesbase.

Looking at what exactly these sites all appear to have lost,
the overall opinion would appear to be that the real losers
here are the smaller lower quality types of articles that are
either badly spun or badly rehashed versions of other material
found elsewhere.

Now with every downside, there is a corresponding upside and it
would appear here that if you are taking lots of care as to
exactly what you allow to be published on your site both in
terms of size and originality then you appear to be OK.

This of course is a good thing and the other important factor
here is that off page aspects of SEO (such as Link Building)
appear to be of even greater importance and how you structure
things matter greatly here.

It’s not all bad news and before this newsletter gets too unwieldy
I’ll sign off by stating that certain basics of SEO still remain
the same i.e. the most important piece of “on page SEO” is getting
the tags for pages correct (the Title tag here being absolutely
essential) and then also the amount and variety of your back
link landscape.

Now in our collective rush for automation this is quite often
overlooked.

What Google wants to see now more than ever is a Back Links
Landscape that as closely as possible resembles that which would
exist if it was purely compiled through natural organic processes
such as just through human intervention. So this means as large
as possible a huge variety of Domains and IP no’s. Lots of
different types of links, Directs, In directs, do follow, no
follow (yes these too) and even mistakes such as typos and badly
coded links. All links that look as if they have been compiled
by humans and reflecting what is arguably the most common human
frailty, the ability to screw up and make mistakes.

In my next newsletter (coming out shortly) I’ll go through in
more detail additional aspects of how you can further attempt
to “bomb proof” sites from Google and a couple of services starting
almost immediately from us here at SLS that will really help to
ensure that you comply with all future Google interventions.

Usual deal.  Any questions then ask away in the Forum or if the
subject is that sensitive then feel free to email me directly.

Speak soon gang.

Climb Every (Link) Mountain

Jun 4th, 2010
by Admin.
No comments yet

Just a quick follow up on the email I sent out recently about the terrific Link Wheel we had had constructed for a client recently and a few of you had raised a couple of issues that I thought might be of interest to more of you.

First of all let me bring you up to date with the particular clientexercise that brought this about (within reason) the results of an SEO exercise we are carrying out for a client at the moment (without getting into too much detail for reasons of client confidentiality – though will check as I am sure they won’t mind but…).

We started off with 22 terms in the Health and Fitness Niche of which we were on Page 1 or 2 for all 22 so the summary of the position at the outset on May 28th was as follows:

Nos in those positions

Positions May 28th June 4th

Top 20          6             0
Top 10          4             5
Top 5          4             5
Top 3          2             3
Top 2          4             7
No 1          2             2

So the initial story is that the current round of promotion had taken the various key phrases and concentrated them now quite firmly into Page 1 for every keyword / phrase we were targeting and in most cases now quite firmly towards the upper half of Page 1

Now an analysis of the results threw up the following bits of information as well.

1. We had increased our profile of places where we had consecutive places i.e. 2&3 etc by more than double and in fact out of the 22 terms we now had 12 double positions.

2. The rise in SERPS appeared to be across the board with a rise in places for terms that we had scheduled to really get behind book marking wise later this week so the Link Wheels additional effect appears to be increasing the weight behind the entire site and not just specific terms.

All of this before we really could add any additional SEO behind the Link Wheel i.e. it is too early to count in the effects of additional RSS work or increased book marking of the pages, which of course we will do.

Once I get clearance from the client then I will post more details and information about this exercise into the members’ area so you can get a clearer idea of what we are talking about. As I mentioned it’s in the Health and Fitness Equipment Niche and though fairly small there are about 10 to 20 companies “taking chunks out of each other” at the top of this niche and it is fiercely competitive.

Now some of the other issues raised by members were as follows:

1. Is this type of Link Wheel a traditional one or is it random and how much use are they? Well an analysis of the structure makes it look fairly random to us and as to the continued efficiency of these as promotional tools I can only point to the results above achieved so far and they will get better once we swing the full force of the entire SLS Network behind each Link Spoke i.e. each Blog.

2. How effective are they for sites at various stages in their development and what about too many links? My take on this is as follows. As the great economist, John Maynard Keynes said “In the long term we are all dead”. The old concept of too many links is an old wives tail. If it wasn’t then you would crucify your site every time you released a successful Press Release that got picked up all over the place. Life is too short. If folks want to wait for “forever and a day” attracting 2-3 links per day whilst the rest of the world flies by then fine but I think life is about a little more than this. You need results if not now, certainly by the end of the week. It is that important.

3. Is it possible to have more than one Link Wheel active at any one time and how can we maximise the return? Can you have too many links coming from any one URL towards the same URL? Not really it’s called deep linking and anything that helps Googlebot find your internal pages is fine in my book.

The thing is that once you have this set up you have total access via username and password to each site so my advice would be to start adding spun content at random to the various sites and then bookmark these pages as and when you add them so you have a fairly organic growing “Link Mountain”.  Wow, forget about Wheels, Pyramids, Clouds etc we are building a Link Mountain!! These entire buzz phrases get a bit silly after a while, still I’m sure someone will use it one day. The other is that the cost of getting this whole thing up and running quickly (takes 6 days) is so cost effective that the best thing to do is get the basic structure in place and then enhance it gradually.

4. After you receive your report, how many links is ideal behind each spoke? I would hit it with the lot – read point 2…seriously why not? Hit it with your full allocation, your library pass, any pots and pans that come to hand and if necessary the neighbours cat!

5. After the report arrives what RSS promotion should be done and how to develop links further?  I would hit it with all the resources you have at your disposal. The thing about Google is that yes it finally gets round to recognising things with indexing etc but folks get too paranoid about Google. There are millions of web users and site owners out there with new sites coming on stream every day. It would be totally paranoid of me to assume that Google have a department set aside with my picture on the wall and every time I do something a buzzer goes off deep in the heart of the Googleplex with teams of “apparatchiks” all streaming out with “get Steve Morgan” emblazoned on their foreheads!

I hope this goes some way to clarifying any potential queries some of you might have had over this but as usual, any further questions then fire away and keep them coming in.

Lastly, Simple Leveraging has finally succumbed to Twitter. I know, I know, I preach on and on about Best Practice in this and that and here we are, Simple Leveraging has not has a fully developed Twitter Account. Well actually it has, it’s just that with all the other comings and goings and advising people “here and there” we never actually got round to developing it to its full potential.

Now the real reason that we are finally pushing our Twitter account is that it is the ideal platform for advising people quickly and effectively regarding any potential networking issues that might exist at any one time and that might be affecting submissions. So from now on we will be using Twitter to notify folks of any networking issues so if you want to keep “in the loop” then add our account at http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=DXfSd&m=1dpXxD4cF9P1kG&b=3GMYcjF5nAhnghX7XBf9FA  Also any issues that it is quicker to notify folks about via Twitter than conventional media then we’ll use it that way too.

In the meantime, have a colossal weekend, don’t catch too much sun and enjoy…

Cheers

SLS Premier Pings Server List now available as a free members only download

May 13th, 2010

Hi Gang

I was talking to one of our first SLS members the other day and he was reporting how he was getting new blogs indexed and cached within Google in under 6 hours and we both realised that this was being done because he had activated and was using the SLS Premier Ping Server List. This is available as another one of the free members bonuses found at Simple Leveraging

I then realised that that although members were aware of this list, perhaps the newer members had not found time or the necessary location to download this list. This list is a real killer of a list and will improve the efficiency of your WordPress Blogs no end.

The process is the usual one whereby you login to your blog dashboard and go to “settings” and then “writing” then insert the contents of the text file and replace the entry for Pingomatic – Pingomatic is included in this list anyway.

This list kicks butt and is yet one more way that we can say yet again, thanks for being a member. It is at least 30 servers bigger than any of the other services available and as I said, delivers.

Cheers

Great results being witnessed by SLS Members

I was speaking to one of our first SLS Members the other day and he was seeing terrific result from his Campaigns and the key we both felt was to make this system “sweat” as much as possible i.e. submit as many links as you can and really get up as much accumulated momentum as possible, as soon as possible.

The key thing is to remember that this sort of link building is all about driving as much link power as you can towards your target sites and then not to forget to support your supporting sites and that’s what SLS is all about. Targeted link support for your links too!

Our first members are seeing sites indexed within 24 hours (SEC Guidelines tell us that we can’t guarantee this but we have seen the results etc) and we have direct evidence of a couple of Blogs that were created for clients 7 days ago that are now on Page 1 in the Search Engines for their chosen terms.

Short term issues with the network

Apr 25th, 2010

Hi Gang

We had a few issues with the network last week that we have only just recovered from and it appears that the issue revolved around the incorrect implementation of the DNS configuration of a number of domains that we have hosted with one particular supplier. I say this though to be honest in our exchange of information with the technical support at this particular web host they haven’t exactly been that forthcoming with exactly what the problem was. We informed them that our scripts were working prior to their actions and afterwards ceased to function but they seem to have missed this point. We have documented all the correspondence so will start a discusion stream in the members forum where folks can get a clearer idea of how well this lot have performed.

As we always get asked with regards to our recomendations regarding web hosting, we are at present seeing ( if as a test exercise and nothing else) what efforts they going to, to resolve the matter and then considering the aggravation that I know a lot of you suffered, what extent they wish to try and make good matters.

As all of you will know, it takes an awful lot to get us wound up at all and even to a state whereby we even enter into correspondence at all over matters like this so I guess that shows how strongly we feel about this. My philosophy is always, “heck we all screw up from time to time”, its not what has been done that matters, its what we do afterwards and how we look after our customers. To be honest a goodwill gesture will suffice which will leave us singing their praises and possibly keep them from appearing on our “Internet Wall of Shame”.

Well…..er……..linking and by linking I mean real serious deep indepth linking. You can create Bookmarks and link to anything you can find and as a backlink tool this has no equal it really hasn’t. Check out the videos to the right and see how quick and powerful this tool is.

This is great for supporting links i.e too often people buy or create links on supposed High PR Sites and then wonder why they take forever and day to ge these links recognised. Get some powerful links to them and get some action going.

For those wishing to find out the forums then follow the link on the menu bar to the right.

You will have to register and then supply me with an email as to why etc. I know this sounds elitist but it is a private members only forum and we take a zero tolerance policy to those clowns out there who wish to join just to spam the living daylights out of the rest of us with Link Spam.

We aim to help as many people as we can as our members will testify and we are a hardworking and actually very friendly bunch once you get in but sadly there are too many losers out there who just try and abuse the system so we have to follow this path.
