Link Building Tips

Link building is an important part of any Internet Promotion campaign where you are attempting to improve your overall "PageRank" within the top search engines.

Ever since Google discovered that using inbound links was a usable metric for gauging website importance ans started using it within ranking algorithm, and other search engines have adopted it. Inbound links count remains a contributing factor to search engine ranking success.

Link building is a time-intensive, and relatively boring activity, however it is still the most important core activity of anyone engaging in Search Engine Promotion to ensure improved rankings.

However, not all links or link-building activities are equal in value.

Here are some worthwhile guidelines for your link building campaign:

Secure "unidirectional" (One-way) Incoming only (non-reciprocal) links
Links with relevant "Keywords" in the Anchor Text are more valuable
Links from industry-relevant pages are of a high value.
Links from industry specific article pages are of a high value
Links from high authority websites are generally of greater value (industry specific only)
Link to your site should not be via a "redirect" script
JavaScript links are of little value and may not be detected.
links from "framed" pages are to be avoided
"flash" embedded links are worthless.
Beware of paid or time-bound links
Don't use email spamming techniques to solicit links.
Absolutely no links from Link Farms (can damage your ranking)
links from FFA (Free-For-All) link networks are of no value (can damage your ranking)
links from pornographic, casino, Viagra and other sites containing offensive content are damaging
Keep a full data sheet of links created at the end of each month
Check against this list to establish the existence of links after a month
check source of link code to ensure there are no "no follow" links
No more than 75 outgoing links from any single resource
Check that all the links will be Google cached and from indexed pages.

Irish Government to pass law to prevent citizens from accessing Facebook, twitter among other websites

Minister for Enterprise, Jobs and Innovation, Sean Sherlock, is pushing through a new law to prevent access by those living in Ireland to websites that the judiciary and government decide contain illegal content, without a vote in the Oireachtas.

Your civil rights and free access to the Internet are under threat. Minister Sherlock and the Government should be prevented from deciding what website you can or cannot visit.

In a prior article I wrote about SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, piece of US legislation, recently proposed in the US. It caused an Internet-wide outcry due to its far-reaching implications; way beyond simply closing access to outlaw file sharing websites, it would have (may still) enabled law enforcement to block access to entire internet domains due to infringing material posted on a single blog or webpage.

A similar proposal is about to become law in Ireland. And while over seven million US citizens contacted their representatives to say No to SOPA in the US, Irish citizens will not get that chance because the new law in Ireland is not being voted on in the Oireachtas. Instead, the law is being enacted by ministerial order.

That will this new law mean for people living in Ireland?

This new law will give music and movie companies the legal leverage to force Irish ISPs like UPC, Eircom and mobile operators to block access to web sites "suspected" of having copyrighted material on them. It also means judges can order ISPs to block access to sites like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter where an individual user from anywhere in the world has shared infringing material.

Dear Minister Sherlock:

As a citizen of this country I request that you respectfully abandon your proposed enactment of “S.I. No. of 2011 European Communities (Copyright and Related Rights) Regulations 2011.”

This legislation subverts the democratic process, favouring the special interests of corporations over the rights of individual citizens, will destroy the largest growth sector in the Irish economy, and will subject the citizens of Ireland to unwarranted, un-wished for and unintended censorship.

Sincerely,

---------------------------------------end-letter-sample---------------------------------

Sincerely,

SOPA and PIPA - Black Out

Black Out - solidarity in opposition to authoritarian despotic US 'anti-piracy' legislation.

All across the web today, websites have gone dark in solidarity with protests in the US against the impending SOPA and PIPA legislation.

Having recently learned of the idiotic situation in Belarus where the government (dictator) of that country has outlawed access to ANY foreign website and since January of this year does not allow any citizen business or entrepreneur to register/use any domain but .bk domain names, I thought to my self , are we not lucky to be living in a more enlightened country and part of a greater free and enlightened Internet community.

But wait..... the founding community of the Internet, the land of the free, the US is about to pass legislation to effectively demolish the Internet as we know it and to enact the exact even more draconian policies to Belarus and other "similarly enlightened" states like China.

In case you have been wondering what all the fuss is about... It's about freedom of access to information, freedom of speech and opposition of big business copyright lobbying masquerading as anti-piracy legislation. It all sound nice and logical on paper, however scratch under the surface and you can see where this is going.

Similar laws and agreements are being drafted all over the world. The story is always the same: the business interests of Big Media etc are being written into law, using excuses such as fraud, counterfeiting, child pornography, and more to hide their business strategy to remove free access to media of any sort and restore their control of same to the determent of individual artists. Today right now media is cheap, distribution is nearly free, and individual artists are thriving. It's not a landscape that Big media organisation want.

Unfortunately the controls proposed in the new legislation in the US will be applied eventually to all areas of the internet, and will impact the world, basically allowing governments/dictators to decide and set-policy who should have access to what website and for how much.

Trying to combat Piracy on the Internet is one thing.... but at what price?
