NetStrife Now Ranking First Page On Google For Internet Marketing
Posted by Lucas under Internet Marketing 6 commentsAs expected, I’ve managed to get NetStrife.com ranking on Google’s first page for the term “internet marketing, which has around 100 million results on a broad search and ~38M in quotes. We’re now outranking sites with big seo budgets and a whole bunch of other random sites gunning for the term. Depending on where you search from, the domain netstrife.com ranks around 8-10th place.
Funnily enough, the traffic for this term is WAY lower than other keywords I have sites ranking for with way less competition - but that’s not the point. Getting the site up on google’s first page was just an experiment to see if it could be done, and I feel confident I could get a new site ranking for pretty much anything in 6-12 months. When I brought the site in Nov 2008, it had a bunch of inbound links, but it wasn’t ranking anywhere to be seen for internet marketing.
So, how did i do it?
Neurolinker, 1waylinks, some linkvana posts, and traffic kahuna are all services I’m a member of that I used. These are all whitehat linking systems. Also, I used my ~100 blogs of PR1-3 to link to netstrife.com that I setup a few months ago, which had surprisingly a very good effect (it’s not the brute number of links you get with seo, but rather the quality of links that counts). Autopligg was also used lightly, which many consider blackhat, but for competitive terms like this you really need to do stuff like this to keep up with your competition. There are a bunch of other stuff that was done, but that’s it in a nutshell.
Finally - for any “anti seo” people that feel google does manual reviews and artificial links no longer work - i’d be willing to bet (pick your stakes) that netstrife.com will stay on google’s first page for internet marketing in a couple of months from now. Simply comment below if you’d like to wager anything on it.

Interesting Way To Make Your Site Stand Out In Google?
Posted by Louis under Internet Marketing, Random Thoughts, Search Engine Optimization 6 commentsCheck it out…
I just came across this site using special characters in it’s meta tag, as pictured above. If you look at the source of this site you can see them using phrases like “█”, which google interprets as a black rectangle - and “☑” which is represented by a tick inside a square.
It seems other search engines, like MSN and yahoo don’t convert these to the special characters if you have the code on your site, but google does. If this actually works without getting your site penalized, it’s a surefire way of getting more clicks from google searches… and honestly I doubt Google would even care if you do this. You could easily get 2-3 times more clicks and traffic just from doing this if your ste is listed around the middle of the first page for a keyword in google.
I’m going to try this on a couple of my Google money sites, maybe even on netstrife.com. This is probably old news but this is the first time (after looking at thousands of sites) that I’ve seen anyone do it. If anyone else knows about this, please comment below.

This is going round the net like wildfire right now, but the error (on Google’s part) has been fixed. For about an hour all search results from google were coming up with the warning that “this site may harm your computer”. Google has now come up with an official explanation - it seems the error was caused by filtering sites with a “/” as malware.
Check out this image (courtest of techcrunch.com):
What I find amusing is when you take a look at google hot trends (google.com/trends), the search phrase “warning visiting this web site may harm your computer!” is on fire, with a massive jump in searches: 
Volume Of Searches For “warning visiting this web site may harm your computer”
This is a complete screw up not only for Google’s obvious PR damage, but because a lot of people are going to see this and think their computer was hacked and infected with malware. Considering the millions of not-so-net-savy people that use google every day, I’d imagine this has caused a lot of worry with people and time wasted checking if there’s something wrong with their computer.
