Been a While

It's been a very long time since I've made a post here. I've been busy working on sites that actually earn me money, and this one doesn't! I've also been busy with some extraordinary new members of my family. Ferrets.

I have absolutely fallen in love with these little guys. So much so, in fact, that in the past few days I've created a Ferret Forum!

As far as SEO goes, I am entirely displeased with the performances of Yahoo and MSN. Google gets a C grade, but those other two are getting F's from me.

So many sites are getting to the top via blog spamming and scraping. It's disgusting, really. Another trick that's very successful on the SE's are using old domain names. They usually tack on subdomains to the main one and, you guessed it, get a bunch of links from blogs, and away they go.

Some advice that has always been given to webmasters who want to create content rich sites that are of quality AND get good traffic from the Search Engines, is to continue doing what they are doing; add content. Also, exchange links or try to get links from "authority sites" in their genre. Getting a Dmoz listing is helpful, also.
