Well, its this time of the year when we have to update our websites and plug in some new stuff so you don‘t get bored from seing the same thing over and over.

Today I finally updated the Content Management System with the latest version of SEO Website CMS and this post is actually more like a test rathen than some meaningful post. If I‘m correct this should work properly, but if I did some typo in the code it would be quite messy.

Please report any problems (if you find) to my email vjakimov [at] gmail [dot] com Thanks... read more..

As you might know, I‘m currently developing my own Blog Network of MFA (dollar-a-day) websites. For my current run, I‘m filling up my web hosting space at GoDaddy with Directories and WordPress Blogs. Yes this time I‘m using WordPress because my SEO Website CMS somehow doesn‘t work with the Godaddy accounts since they have some special permissions on htaccess and its rewrite rules. I‘ll try to fix it but currently I don‘t have the time to bother with this and I‘m using WordPress instead.

What I didn‘t know when I used GoDaddy‘s default wordpress installer was that when it installs it it sets up by default \"Search Engine Privacy\" settings. Those settings forbid Search Engines to index your website and therefore no matter how much efforts you have it won‘t get you indexed. Actually if you knew about this option, its so easy to switch the button and actually disable it and enable search engines to visit your website and actually get indexed, but in most of the cases people don‘t know about it or others (like me for example) don‘t look for it since we all know that the default settings for search engine privacy is disabled on new wordpress installations. That‘s the reason I really got pissed off because GoDaddy decided to change those for you and if you were not careful and did not have the knowledge how to work with search engines you might wonder why your website never got in the Search Engines and you don‘t get any visitors to your new website.... read more..

I‘ve just completed the first part of the ImWebGuru.com project. The first article series for basic search engine optimizations now cover the topics from jump starting websites to high-end SEO. I‘ve covered all topics on content optimization as well as search engine friendliness and successful website architecture. In my next cycle I‘ll try to cover the Web 2.0 stuff and help our webmaster community take maximum advantage of the hidden capabilities of social bookmarking websites for boosting their backlink counts and get some deep-links.

I‘m really happy that I was able to finish that on time as this website is my pilot project for a larger website community targeted page that I‘m going to build up in few months or so. ImWebGuru.com is fifth website on SEO and Web Development which happened to be quite interesting topics for me as I‘m trying to make full range of topics websites/blogs that will help me promote both the SEO website CMS and the other projects that I‘m trying to run around the web..... read more..

I mentioned in the previous post that I made a really critical review on one webmaster and unfortunately for me he "asked" his friends to try to get me banned from AdSense by Click bombing my AdSense websites. This is totally wrong behaviour and almost got me banned and now I‘m going to explain you how to defend yourself again such threats as I was able to survive it and not get my AdSense Account Banned.

First, What is AdSense click-bombing. Click-Bombing is when a malicious user enters your website with the intent to massively click AdSense ads with the sole purpose of getting the owner of the web site‘s AdSense account banned. In such events, the AdSense CTR goes sky-high as the bomber clicks hundreds of time on the ads displayed and therefore rises flag for AdSense SPAM. AdSense Spam comes in two natures. If you click your own ads or get someone to click your ads. Both cases are strongly forbidden in the AdSense Terms of Use and therefore you can get your AdSense account banned and loose all the available funds...... read more..

Nowadays all Search Engines are getting smarter and smarter and their capabilities to collect/crawl billions of websites and store/cache most of the content is bringing up serious issues for webmasters. As you may know Search Engines are not able to store the all the content and therefore they store vector snapshots of non-common/non-repetitive words that have some meaning in order to decrease the storage space and make it easy for analysis and ranking. If you noticed that when you search in Google (for example) and you type in the wild roses are red the search engine marks up only wild roses and red and had neglected "the" and "and".

When you remove the most-common and junk-words then there are only quite a few words left, and the chances that those word-combinations are not already used by one or few of the billion pages online is quite low and this causes numerous unique content websites to get listed in the supplemental results....... read more..

Many website owners, webmasters and developers don‘t really invest the proper time and resources to increase their website quality and most of them are asking SEM people like me to help them find a reasonable solution.

Today (actually yesterday) I‘ve made my mind to invest a little effort and make a website dedicated to webmasters with the high hopes that they will actually read it and improve the quality of your website. After so many years of website development experience I had learned that some simple strategies and optimization tips are proven to be extremely useful and bring very nice outcome if followed... read more..

Two days ago I was finally able to get my Website Directory to work. This is great achievement because its a wild combination of SEO features that I didn‘t have too much experience with and I‘m glad to get my hand on. The Website directory is powered by SEO Website CMS Web Directory Module and works quite well.

As you know I‘m the team leader for the SEO Website CMS development and my website is mostly used as test drive area for the new features. The SEO Directory is really nice and with a lot of functions like deep reciprocal link verification and link condom protection detection which will be able to help webmasters quickly discover link exchange cheaters.

Also yesterday we started the work on the Directory Friendship Network which will automatically distribute website listings to each directory participating. This will be primarily used as a quick promotion tool for newly developed websites. This feature is only available thru the SEO Website Directory Module and if you don‘t have it installed you won‘t be allowed to participate in the network.... read more..

The last few weeks I was very busy doing some SEO/SEM for a client and I really got on the topic. It is very funny that so many people contact my company asking us to develop websites for their companies or whatever, but their knowledge is limited to using them only as Business Cards.

Websites are much more powerful marketing tool but there are not too many people out there that know how to take the full advantages of the Internet. As you know the Internet is the biggest media out there and having a website increases your business‘s visibility drastically. The problem is that most of the people I meet think that by owning a website they will get all that benefits without any effort, but that‘s totally wrong!.... read more..

Recently while I was browsing Amazon dot com I stumbled upon a new book by somebody called Dan Cederholm with the dull name Web Standards Solutions – The Markup and Style Handbook. As you can realize that was a guide book by the W3C standards for XHTML and future compatible/utilizable web design.

It didn‘t take me long to put it in my shopping cart and have it in about a week at my office. That book was very well organized and easy to read (especially if you already have some web design knowledge) and it took be about seven hours to read the whole 250 pages. Sweet!... read more..

Finally we were able to make a good stable version of the SEO website cms that works well and satisfies most of our website needs. Now we can finally pour in all content and make our website really popular.

I know I‘ve been promising to update the website more often but never had the chance to actually do it, but now I‘m really serious in getting the whole thing done. I guess I‘m working too hard and there is not so much time left to write anything about myself but I‘m really hoping that I‘ll be able to keep it up to day from now on, especially after the fact that now my website is so easy to manage and add more content.

The only thing I have to figure out is how to put my photo gallery online again because I really hate the old way of putting each picture one by one. That will be something on my to-do list.... read more..

It was about time to get some good content management system and make website updates less pain the ass and they are with conventional html pages. As you probably see (if I still haven't finished updating it) the website is still a bit messy because I didn't have the time to finish transfering the content from the previous version to this one. At least its so easy to work and post new stuff with this content management system that I'm really happy that I finally made my mind to transfer!... read more..
