This morning I had 2 emails in my inbox from "SEO Companies" telling me that they can’t find webuildpages.com in the search engines and that I can get a Free evaluation from them to show me what needs to be done, and how their services can help me. This is nothing new, I’m know everyone […]
So I just bought a domain from someone who had it both registered and hosted with register.com…and in trying to keep things as much as they had been, I opened up an account with register.com to move the domain into my register.com account.
I ended up running into a problem and I had to call […]
Help!
I’m trying to come up with a list of possible webpages that people store their stats on…so say if I were to find a site, and I wanted to know the site’s traffic I could search for pages like:
www.theirsite.com/stats/
Anyone know of common places people store their stats on, where if you knew the url […]
Get your own Official Seal - Takes less than 1 minute.
Lee’s del.icio.us showed me this Cool Official Seal Generator, where in 1 minute I had created this seal.
Look out Bruce…I just might start offering "Jim’s SEO Code of Ethics" next (You’ll have to be slightly grey to get Jim’s seal) …..hehe….hey…I can’t laugh too much…1750 people […]
I’m still going through the questions asked by people in my "Ask Jim" post. Here’s a bunch thrown together.
Mikko asks,
“Want to know what I think about link buying?”
Yes I do!
Mikko, the best links bought are ones that are under the radar (read this post).

In my "Ask Jim" post there are some I can answer rather quicky, so in this post I’ll answer 3 of those questions. These are all Link related questions.
Question 3, Peter simply asks:
Content, or Links?
I’d have to say both. and I’ll add - Equally both. Often in my past I used to say "90% links"…but […]
Choosing Keywords - It’s all about who’s in the top 10.
In response to the second question on my "Ask Jim" blog post, Michael asks:
When considering keywords, does the order of the keywords matter to the search engines? If so… How do they matter? Should I pick an order and concentrate on that, or treat different […]
In response to my "Ask Jim" post, I’ll start at the top.
Graywolf asks:
What’s the biggest SEO mistake you made (that you can talk about).
What’s one piece of SEO advice you wish you could travel back in time and tell yourself 3 years ago.
I’ll start with the "SEO Mistakes"…hum…where should I start….I’ll freely admit that […]
I finally got around to adding a new poll.
It seems like every week there’s a new SEO Podcast show starting up (The latest one is "The Search Pulse" with men of Search Engine Roundtable).
There’s a great list of several SEO podcasts on WebmasterRadio.fm if you’re ever looking for some. Some of the very best minds […]
Gurtie over at Gray Hat Search Engine News looks to be the first to get the scoop and report on the new Link Descriptor Tags (the "No-Follow" being the first Link Descriptor Tags).
It appears that these new tags will be used by Google, Yahoo, and Ask (MSN was having some issue at the moment).
To quote […]
John Scott wrote an interesting post called "Google’s Moral Superiority".
John certainly makes a point with a few picture searches.

John also adds some strong words with:
That’s not evil?The fact that they can pretend it’s nothing more than a business decision is not only evil, it’s racist.

Where we’ve been to where we’re going.
From 1999 to late 2002, the "We" in We Build Pages was Me, Myself, and I. During those day I also waited tables and worked for a few design companies as their "Internet Marketing Specialist". Those years were "lean" but I could always wait tables as many days a week […]
IncrediBILL always has a way with words, when I saw this title in my feedreader I couldn’t help but see what bill was saying when he said, "Google Dance Makes You Shit Your Pants".
Bill was reporting google rankings jumping all around, so I ran to check rankings using Digitialpoint’s ranking tool, and ya….we track about […]
Suzi’s my EDU Queen
About 7 months ago I took Suzi on a new link ninja in training. Her first day was a bit buzy for me and the link people so she got only a tiny bit of training from me before she started sending emails (FYI, new link ninjas can’t send email requests for […]
I’ve been enjoying Tony Hill’s blog for several months now….but I’ve got to say that the past 2 months Tony’s been kicking ass with his posts. Just look at some of these from the past 2 months if you haven’t seen them yet.

I just cleared 100 replies in the "Introduce yourself" area.
Did you introduce yourself here yet?
If not, what are you waiting for?
Introduce yourself - Who are you?
Thanks!

I just read the Search Engine Journal post about the new Google PageRank Patent. Loren also references Bill Slawski’s blog where he gives us the facts and figures on the patent.
The name of this patent is "Method for node ranking in a linked database" (official patent link).
AbstractA method assigns importance ranks to nodes in a […]

Jim Westergren published a very good link building guide today. (Well worth the read!)
I love most of Jim’s suggestions (he’s a very smart guy)…..but I wonder about things like Link Vault and the Digitalpoint Co-op….I haven’t tried them…I often hear how wonderful they are (esp the Digitalpoint co-op)…..and sometimes feel like I’m missing out on […]
London SES
I had a great time at the London SES conference. I get jealous when I hear of people like Matt taking 6 weeks off…man, as a CEO I don’t get much time "off" at all….I don’t think I’ve taken a week off in several years. Hey, maybe it’s a disadvantage of being a CEO - […]
I wrote the following in the Albany airport…I’ve got another 2 posts that I wrote in Newark…but I’ll save those for later….I just arrived in London, and I’m on my way out to see sights and perhaps a SEO or 2…or more.
I should also mention that I’m totally amazed at my last post asking […]
This is a simple question post.
Where in the world are you from?

I love history….until a few months ago I didn’t have The History Channel at home, and so often on my business trips I’d get back to the hotel room (late), and turn on the history channel and stay up even later learning something about history.
One of the places I’ve always wanted to visit is Stonehenge….and […]
People trying to comment spam on my blog.
…..Can’t you comment spammers work harder to identify blogs that aren’t being used to spam on instead of active blogs? Ya know, I actually read every comment that is posted (or tries to get posted).
If someone really wants a link, I’ve made it pretty easy to give you […]
Yippy - I’m going to London!
I got permission from my wonderful wife, and my work team at work is doing so good that I should have no worries while I’m away!
I’ll be arriving in London on Tuesday at 6:40am and leave Saturday at noon. Anyone know of other gatherings during that time? (I’ll be sure to hit […]
