SEO 2.0

After 10 years of online publishing, 4 years of blogging for a plethora of blogs, being a SEO for three years and being paid for blogging several times by now I finally am convinced that I know how it works.

What I learned about online publishing, blogging, SEO in 10 years you can now read in 10 minutes.

This is my list of 101 ways to make your blog more popular and successful. Most of it I tried myself, other measures have been taken by numerous other bloggers with success so I have to catch up on them myself.

1 - 5: StumbleUpon

1. Get social on StumbleUpon, it brings huge targeted traffic if you do it right

2. Add some friends at SU but not too many

3. Reward people stumbling you, or say “thanks” at least

4. Stumble only good stuff, so people get interested in you and visit your blog

5. Link your blog on your StumbleUpon home page

100. Cooperate with others, altruism is the best egoism

101. In short: Practice SEO 2.0

I want to thank five bloggers who inspired me to write this post: Smashing Magazine, Vandelay Design, Skellie, Social Networking Articles and this SEO blogger.

While Digg gets worse each day and looses traffic (it’s at an all time low by now according to Alexa) specialized social news communities gain momentum. There are plenty of them by now, sadly most of them poorly customized Pligg applications but some of them really rock and provide great niche news.

So here I present to you 7 niche social news communities that are a must read in each of it’s niches:

• DZone - fresh links for developers - DZone is the place to be for programmers and web developers.
• Hacker News - Hacker News aka Ycombinator is a great resource for tech news, not necessarily only for hackers.
• Sphinn - Sphinn is a wonderful search engine marketing and optimization news community, meet social media power users who were offended everywhere else for doing SEO
• Hugg 2.0 - Hugg is the “green Digg” for stories related to ecology, environment and sustainability, great place
• SWiK - SWik is a very helpful news community about open source software
• Design Float - Design Float is quite new but already a good place for design inspiration and resources
• DailyHub - DailyHub does not have much traffic yet but it has great marketing news you don’t want o miss

Of course this list like most of my lists is purely based on my personal experience and judgement. If I forgot a niche social news community, please add it in the comments and if it rocks I’ll add it to the list.

I won’t add the plethora of Pligg clones where each story gets 2 or 3 votes though. Also poorly designed eye sores won’t make the list.

Do you believe in magic? I do. Especially if it can be done by anyone.

Digg is a place where any Apple or game console marketer can succeed quickly in getting thousands of visitors. He just has to mention the magic words Apple, iPod or iPhone and add something totally ridiculous to the headline. Something like “I ate my iPhone” or “How my iPod saved my life” or “Apple created an iPhone out of bacteria”. That’s not magic, that’s business as usual on Digg.

So while it’s that easy to get on the Digg front page and most people who try to game Digg know it, it’s not as easy to get your competitors buried on Digg it seems. Of course you can submit any story written by your rival from a made up Digg account with no friends and then use a boring as hell headline and a description full of mipsplelings but I discovered a surefire way to get any story buried in Digg despite of its source, topic, quality and popularity.

How do I know?

I wrote a guest post for a popular blog that was on Digg prior to this but my story was buried while being wildly popular at the same time. It received 50 diggs in 4 hours, even having some Digg power users who I truly respect among those voting. At first I assumed it was an administrative step to bury it because usually you get plenty of hate comments on Digg and this one got none. The contrary was the case, only three friendly comments appeared altogether.

I wouldn’t have submitted the story myself as I think Digg is worth a pile of shit, it’s anti-social censorship not social news, it’s an apolitical Apple public relations playground full of hatred against anyone who is not 200% US American mainstream. Somebody else did anyways. So I watched it closely in disbelief.

Now I rechecked the history of similar stories again, I knew it before, but I checked it once again to prove the point that any story containing the three magical letters S, E, O in it’s title will get buried unless the story stems from or is about Google or covers why SEO is abominable.

So if you hurry up and use the magic acronym “SEO” on an article by the A-list blogger you hate before he can submit it you can get the story buried. Why? Diggers who bury SEO stories do not read them as the number of referers from Digg was in my case below the number of diggs. I assume that some readers voted after reading the story on the blog. They clicked the Digg voting button. Nonetheless if you get 60 diggs and just 50 visitors from Digg it seems to me that those who buried the story did not visit in the first place.

Moreover the statistical data is overwhelming, while many of the most popular stories in many cases contain terms like “Apple, iPod, iPhone” in their titles, only 8 stories with “SEO” in the title made the front page this year, but the last one 194 days ago! 6 of them were buried afterwards. For over 6 months now, the Digg front page had a successful topical cleansing. The two only stories containing “SEO” in the title not buried this year were:

1. Digg - Google Acquires SEO Company in DoubleClick Deal
2. Digg - Why Diggers Hate SEOs

Diggers are too blind though to recognize stories that were SEOed or optimized for Digg, like most lists and most Apple PR messages.

So basically it comes down to ignorance:

Diggers don’t want others to learn what SEO is about, they want optimized content but they do not want to learn how to do it or let others learn it.

Add “SEO” to any story and test it. It’s fun, it’s amusing, it’s exposing Digg.

If the title does not make sense with “SEO” in it, just add it in front: “SEO: Apple sold to Microsoft”.

Btw. do not digg this story! It’s not a Digg bait, I not only do not care for Digg, I also treat it like a potential DDoS attacker. I want decent people to laugh about Digg and turn their backs on it. I welcome them at StumbleUpon and other really social media.

Hello Readers,

There are some changes on SEO 2.0 to announce:

1. Blog clean up
2. PageRank lottery
3. New focus

On Saturdays there always was clean up day in my family when I was a kid. So I cleaned up my blog or uncluttered it like Skellie would say. I dropped the useless affiliate ads that made no money at all. Moreover I dropped elements that were superfluous, e.g.:

• The huge RSS icon, which was annoying after a while
• The Netscape bookmark icon, as Propeller is even more useless than Netscape was…

I won a 5 in the Google PageRank lottery today and do you know why? Because I commented three times on Remarkablogger and he’s got a 7.

There will be a new focus on SEO 2.0 - I will practice what I preach and concentrate more on socializing and the tools that facilitate that.

Therefore I not only added the CLIQ widget where the marvellous Blah, Blah! Technology blog joined me, I also will try out the Blogcatalog community (I’m still “pending”) which does not look as crappy as the more popular MyBlogBlog.

I won’t add the widget but instead the “Rate my blog” dropdown (see at the right below) which ads a little value at least.

I’m still looking for a Sphinn add on that does not look wacky…

Also I added bookmark buttons for DZone (developer “Reddit”) and Wykop (Polish “Digg”) as those two are my target audiences in some ways. I’m a web developer born in Poland originally.

As soon the head aches go away I probably will write something more useful again and add links to this post (done)

You might have already noticed: There is new sidebar widget at SEO 2.0. It’s my CLIQ. It sounds like clique and it appears to be another BlogRush rip off but it isn’t. I never bought into Blogrush really but I lthe idea of having a tool that allows you to share relevant blog postings with other like minded bloggers got stuck deep in my heart.

Then I noticed the CLIQ widget and checked the site out, installed it and.. well… I need you to join me. But wait it’s not the “I refer you, thus I get credits for you and you are just my subaffiliate“.

Let me present to you the 7 reasons why CLIQ is the better Blogrush:

1. CLIQ looks better, the design is more professional
2. It’s no scam, scheme, no pyramid or ponzi involved, no strings attached
3. It’s not automatic, you decide who is displayed on your site and even which post if you want to
4. CLIQ is a recommendation based system, you can trust those links because the blogs are hand picked
5. It’s not a hype, it’s not a run, it’s not a rush and I’m one of the early adopters
6. It even works with one blog, like now you can display “related posts” with it from my own blog
7. CLIQ is a social medium, it allows you to connect with your online friends and fellow bloggers

Some of you already have been invited by “the leader of the SEO 2.0 CLIQ”. It’s more for testing purposes just called SEO 2.0. Of course we can change that if you like and decide what to call it or what the focus should be.

Did I tell you that I am a black clad anarchist deep in my heart?

So I do not have to be the leader at all. I just really appreciate the idea of CLIQ and would like to “exchange links” with you.

So if you have a blog and would like to participate in my elite clique, sorry CLIQ, tell me and I will reject, sorry add you if the maximo leader approves you!

Wait! Are there any drawbacks? Well, of course there are:

• You have to manually motivate others to join the CLIQ
• I needed at least 3 attempts to register, don’t know what went wrong
• The invitation emails send from the system can not be customized, that’s probably why they don’t work
• There must be a leader it seems, so people think why should I become a subordinate of a ridiculous Mexican with a huge sombrero?

So come on, let’s socialize, I need more than StumbleUpon and Sphinn, I feel so lonely out there in cyberspace! Join my clique…

Btw. I will remove the affiliate ads for the SEO services and products as they do not sell so then the widget will be more prominent here.

Yesterday, October 24th, 2007 marked the day when PageRank died. It became virtually useless or worthless. Why? What was the purpose of Google PageRank in the first place?

PageRank was revolutionary when it was introduced by Google. That’s why Google is where it is now: The leader in search. PageRank was determined by the number and “worth” of links. The more links and the better the links (a link by the New York Times is of course better than one by a small unknown website) the higher the PageRank.

At the beginning, a higher PageRank meant almost automatically a higher position in the search results. A site having a 7 would outrank a PR 6 website which would come before a PageRank 5 page. Logical isn’t it?

Soon Google added more and more so called ranking factors such as domain age. Thus a PageRank 7 site could be outranked by a PageRank 3 site if the latter was significantly older. Google itself claims to use about 200 “signals” in their ranking algorithm. Still PageRank was used to determine which pages have authority as it still measured the number and power of links.

Yesterday Google PageRank finally stopped to reflect the number and strength of of incoming links. Now it is determined in a way nobody can trust anymore. Let me explain:

First the good news: onreact.com still has PageRank 6. Hooray! But wait, now the bad news: The Washington Post has got just 5 and some of the most renown bloggers like Technorati #1, the world’s most linked weblog! Engadget (PageRank 5), Problogger (4) or marketing guru Andy Beard (3). So do you now really think I am more important than the Washington Post or the most popular blog on the globe? Do you really assume that I am 1/3 more important than the Problogger and twice as important as Andy Beard?

The bottom line is: Google PageRank is now meaningless, you can’t trust it anymore whatsoever!

Users who depended on the Google PageRank bar to determine the authority of a site can dump it now. Google PageRank is now only a means of intimidation of webmasters. Google is the new Microsoft. It will use their monopolistic market position to wield power over you.

Google is not the Internet though. Google is on the way downwards now. It’s time to sell your Google shares. China was just the beginning. They abused the Chinese people, now they abuse everyone else. Google alternatives like Lexxe will get stronger. Maybe Lexxe will become the Firefox of search soon?

So my PageRank 6 is as worthless as Andy Beard’s 3.

Social browsing will make search less and less important in the future anyways. Just try StumbleUpon.

While on my StumbleUpon home page I noticed that today is the day “I liked more than 1000 pages” on SU. I guess I stumbled more than 1000 but not significantly as I do not stumble pages I dislike in the first place. Why? I am not using the toolbar anymore as some of you might remember.

1000 might not be much, I also liked 12 videos and 107 photos, but I quite often write reviews. I have no idea how to count the review vs just “thumbs up” ratio but I guess somewhere between 40 and 50% are reviews. I will review really outstanding stuff and stumble the “only great” stuff. Moreover I needed just a little less than two months to achieve that.

I joined SU on August 26th, today is October 23rd.

To mark this “anniversary” (how do you say “month” in Latin, as no “anni” are involved yet?) I present to you my stumbles #999 - 1001:

• #1001: She has the greatest smile in the entire world (picture above): http://atlantahoopla.stumbleupon.com/
• #1000: How do you calculate when to say “I love you”? Inkling Magazine - The Calculus of Saying “I Love You”
• #999: Blogging the wise way - Zen and the Art of Blogging | One Mans Goal

I’m still not sure what to think about it. The more you stumble and the more friends you get the more difficult it gets to gain traffic via SU as your friends are not counted as much as neutral votes. So I attempted to curb my StumbleUpon addiction: To no avail in fact.

1. What do you think?
2. Do you also read my SU blog?
3. Should I stumble less and write more?

If you did not know the difference between SEO and SEO 2.0 now you know:

• In SEO 2.0 you would never send link exchange requests
• In SEO 2.0 you would not ridicule yourself by using stereotyped SEO spammer methods like spamming comments
• In SEO 2.0 you do not game the system but you use it to the max in the positive sense

Anybody who in fact does “3 Way Link Exchange” with this guy (name changed) is in a bad neighbourhood on a dead end. Hands off SEO spammers!

If you do SEO for clients like I do, after some years you see several kinds of patterns. My nerves get sometimes a little strained with some and I guess I am not the only one. If it wasn’t that it would be very funny.

Especially the potential clients I refuse to work for are a strange folk.

So here I present to you the 10 non-ideal archetypal clients who you surely will encounter sooner or later. Of course one or several archetypes can apply to a single client.

1. The clandestine one: Assumes that SEO is evil and does not want to know who he is and what kind of website should be optimized, even if you have to assess how much the optimization can cost. As if you would ask: How much does a car cost?

2. The quick one: Wants you to start right away, assuming he is the only client you have but in most cases very slow to pay.

3. The busy one: Once you are done with a step and need info for the next step, he will need weeks over weeks to reply.

4. The PPC client: Prospective clients who do PPC, especially Google Adwords are not ashamed to tell you how many thousands Euro or Dollars they spent for completely automatic ads in search results but they will cringe at paying you 500 for your hard work.

5. The calling prospective client: This one will call you at the evening, while you are busy like hell or when you’re at lunch and you can’t explain to him that you’re not in front of your screen and basically can’t tell him much right at that moment. If you try to explain what do to, how, how long it takes anyways you can be sure that he won’t call you ever again.

6. The diligent one: You will negotiate with him for weeks or or longer even before you can start. You will show him your portfolio, send him or her papers on the exact measures you will undertake, you will talk to his programmers, you will meet him or her and the team personally but you won’t get the job.

7. The experienced one: “I had 3 SEOs already and I’m still not on top”. Or you will discover doorway pages from two years ago in his code. The most respectable companies are like that.

8. The big or multi-client: He has either many websites he wants you to optimize at once or he will offer you a connection with Sony or something after you optimize the first site, he of course does assume that doing many websites does not cost more than just one and he will pay you less for the first website as he wants to see how you perform before he connects you with Sony.

9. The discontent: He or her will receive the same treatment as all the other clients, pay the same price or even less, he will see the same results as the others but he will be discontent all the time. This one is amazing, because other clients in his shoes are really satisfied.

10. The friend: He will treat you like a friend and he is doing you a favor when paying but he will treat you like an employer or boss when you do the work. He will want to pay less than the others but he will call you Sunday on your private line to ask you if you’re done.

So you might wonder now: Are there clients who are OK at all? Yes, they exist! I had the opportunity to work with some great clients. There are basically several kinds of clients who I adore and really am highly motivated to work for:

• Those telling me that they heard about me or where referred to me or that they read my website and feel comfortable with what I write and like my style.

• Those sending a prepayment to show a commitment. Some people pay even 100% in advance! Those clients get a 10% discount at onreact.com

• Those who do not expect me to have just one client (them) and start right away without even asking for it. Imagine a barber where you enter while people are waiting or having their hair cut and you expect him to to start immediately.

If you consider to ask a SEO freelancer for a quote for SEO services:

• address him personally
• just send them the URL
• tell them what you do in one short sentence
• and how much you want to spend (if you like).

The first three will be enough and if you address the SEO or the SEO company for a start.

If you want to sell SEO services beware of the above 10 kinds of SEO clients. They will make you wish you never started client work in the first place.

I was just playing around with popuri.us and happened to click on my Compete.com stats. There I realized that my traffic increased by 11259.7% (no mistake here) compared to a year ago.

In fact I did not believe the stats myself and then rechecked them thinking about my visitor numbers according to Google Analytics, recounting what else is on my onreact.com domain (not much) and then I came to the conclusion: It’s true! It’s really true! I’m incredibly successful if you look at the actual numbers.

My traffic really skyrocketed after I moved on from conventional SEO to SEO 2.0

Moreover the biggest part of the increase happened during the last three months. I had like 100 visitors per day on onreact.com a year ago, mainly from Google, the number hasn’t changed ever since. So what happened?

I want to share with you the secrets of how I did it. You can achieve it too I’m convinced. So here are the 10 steps I undertook, you might recognize some of them from this article here. In fact it was a self fulfilling prophecy.

1. I bought a huge sombrero.
2. I installed Wordpress, a great Wordpress theme and started blogging about SEO 2.0, in English, I blogged almost daily since July.
3. I used dofollow on my comment links and trackbacks so people started socializing with me as I didn’t treat them like spammers.
4. I contributed to other blogs, not many, mainly Google Blogoscoped.
5. I redefined SEO and rebranded it as SEO 2.0
6. I compiled some best of and other lists other people liked
7. I started contributing to social media, again not many, mainly Sphinn and StumbleUpon.
8. I started socializing with other great bloggers in my niche, SEO and expanding it to other similar niches like the “make money online” blogs.
9. I told the people that SEO is bullshit and gave ‘em 57 reasons why they should not read my blog, but people never listen!
10. I told my readers the sometimes bitter truth, fought and flattered the right people, was incredibly funny all the time and never ever have shown a sign of being arrogant!

Indeed I am the greatest! 11259.7%! SEO 2.0 rocks! You have to tell my wife who does not want me to waste my time blogging instead of doing real work for money! In fact I did it all just for fun, it really enriched my life.

Btw. Remember that I have almost no traffic from Google at SEO 2.0. I get even more visitors from Sphinn than from Google.
