The notion it is "understandable", from Google's perspective, to remove any web pages which are 90% non-unique content is ridiculous. People seem to have tunnel vision when it comes to deciding what is Spam. I've said it before. Google is 99.99999% non-unique, duplicate, scraped content. In many definitions, they are the Web's Uber-Spammers.

Or, if we (and hopefully Google) are sensible about this for a second, we can recognise "unique" is NOT a magic good vs. evil metric. Any search service (this includes Google and a growing number of vertical (meta-) search services) is comprised of largely duplicate content. Clearly, these service are not spam.

MySpace.com is home to various independent musicians. They post songs directly to their profile. Sometimes, these songs are uploaded to other profiles. Because of the popularity, mainstream musicians have followed this trend as well. CDs of independent music are sold by various establishments.

In February 2006, an amateur filmaker, David Lehre, released a short film entitled MySpace: The Movie. It has quickly gained popularity. The movies was featured in a popular internet show, Pure Pwnage. In episode 10, the main character, Jeremy, loses his girlfriend. He visits MySpace.com in an attempt to rationalise the world's pain. (The entire show features a song called "Get out of MySpace" and it is used as a stab against MySpace users).

In April, 2006, most BBC Radio 1 DJs have created profiles. They are mentioning it very frequently. This is somewhat controversial since the BBC usually avoids any mention of individual companies. In the United States, the Major Label Music Network, a Myspace group which networks major level recording artists (and independent or unsigned acts) with major label industry executives, companies, and  professionals. It includes U.S. commercial radio stations KROQ and WAAF. Both maintain profiles on Myspace, along with popular U.S. DJ's in the group.

Holy halibut. I'm walking home from gym the other day. This kid was walking a huge pitbull. Here in Toronto, it's illegal to breed pitbulls. They have proven to be a menace two society. This is based on death toll and destruction against humans they cause. So, people with pitbulls need to spade and muzzle their dog.

Anyway, the kid was barely able to handle the dog, since it was a full grown male. I'm telling the kid to muzzle the dog. It was getting jumpy, and excited, since it was coming my way. The kid didn't want to listen, and the inevitable happen. The dog jumped at my throat. Instinctively, I stuck my hand out.

Alright, I don't know if any of you have been bitten by a pit bull. However, I believe what they say because it's like a vice grip. It hurt BADLY, but the pain came afterward, since I was trying to get it off me. I had on long sleeves and this dog was digging into my skin. Anyway, the kid wasn't doing much, so a passerby had to aid/help me. I just couldn't loosen his grip. When I finally got the dog away, it took a small chunk of my flesh. This was WHILE wearing a sweater.

All this required a trip to hospital and stiches.

The Big 3 search engines have their own personalities and traits. This is a big positive in my mind. Many rate SERPs “quality” based on how they rank. It's human nature. Each has strengths and weaknesses. I’m glad there are three, and wish for a few more.

The central issue with Yahoo, these days, is their aggressive encroach on the individuality of the user. They believe they know better than the user and what the user wants. This is where hand-coding becomes important.

Hand-coding means they think they know better than their own algorithm, what a searcher wants. Hand-coding is one person's thinking of what you, the user, wants to see. Is it better than those produced by the algorithm? Who knows? However, it’s a bad habit which gets worse with time as you do it more and more. It keeps re-enforcing the concept you know what people are want, better than they do. Simply, you don’t. The mess is a little cleaner, but now someone has decided what you get to view and what you don’t.

Hand-coding is a small part of Yahoo embracing a culture which believes it has all the answers. Add to this, Yahoo has a very concerted penalty program. Every time a website is removed from the index, a decision is made for every single searcher. They are basically saying "We know better than you, what you want to see, and what you don’t. Obviously, this doesn't include trash, spam sites, auto-generated pages, link-farmed sites, etc., or any of the well known junk a lot of us have produced at one time).

Yahoo has removed a great deal of good websites. These reasons range from hyphenated domains to being an affiliate site. No search engine has hand penalized more websites than Yahoo. And, no search engine is more difficult to get back into the SERPs.

It’s a great site. It's a good search engine. I only wish they would give people a little more credit to decide what sites they wish to visit than they do. If your website isn’t showing, chances are someone at Yahoo dislikes it. They think a little too highly of their own preferences.

These kinds of returns are after 12 YEARS of work. 12 YEARS is a long time. For someone in business 12 years, I'd expect them to make $30k+ a month.

12 years of time coding, building a site, promoting, etc. Once you get the base structure of a website complete, it's easy to add to it. To maintain 1500 websites seems a bit far fetched, though. I'm actively maintaining one. However, there are 4 total and it's a lot of damn work, for a part-time endeavor.

You don't get this kind of return after 1-2 months. Since November 2005, my return has been $500. This is using CJ, LinkShare, AdWords, Performics, etc. Am I giving up yet? No. It's fun to build a website and see how it grows. To see it make $$ is better. But, I don't expect to break even for at least 1 year. It's like any other business.

My expenses are $2000 for domains, links, marketing, etc. Most of the money spent was worthless. You'll find this out quickly.

Spending money for traffic, or autosubmissions, is a waste. For rankings and good traffic, you need GOOD content. For links, submit them to independent directories. Don't bother with reciprocal links. You end up with an ugly-*** link farm.

Don't bother with an SEO guy until you've waited at least 6 months. Why? I sent an email to someone who claimed to get top-10 listings, for my websites. I asked him several times what he does. Every time he criticized my website saying there was too much different content, poor page rank, etc. This was in January (website began in December). Google just updated their PR. Now, I have a PR 4 by doing the work myself.

To pay someone $40-$100/page for optimization is junk. Find your keywords. Go to Google/Yahoo/MSN/etc. Search them. See how the current top-10 people get their high rankings. It's all in the content.

PPC is an effective way to get traffic. Don't go crazy outbidding people, to get top 10 rankings for PPC. There are people who click your link simply to make you pay. I don't pay more then 15 cents/click.

My earnings quest is only beginning. Remember, other affiliate companies are making millions a year. The internet has MILLIONS of people using it. If you capitalize a small percentage, you're golden. It's what keeps me going.

Try using a pictograph on your buy button. Believe it or not, there is a percentage of customers who do not read or do not read English (or whatever language the web page is). A simple cart pictograph, or something similar, makes it easy for these people to know which button is the buy button. Plus, most people’s brains process a picture faster than they process words. Often, a little pictograph registers that much faster. At least, that this is how I buy products.

Take a look at your easy to read, eye-popping, well-placed, big buy button. Is there room for a pictograph? It only makes it bigger. Remember, when it comes to buy buttons, bigger is never a bad thing.

When Chitika's eMiniMalls accepted publishers, many saw the Chitika revenue audits as nothing special. AdSense does this as well, and only a handful of publishers have ever had their monthly income audited. When there was an audit, it was mainly for obvious click attacks. So, there was no reason to worry over audited income. If there were an audit, the drop would be in the 2% to 5% range.

On one forum, it didn't take long to see the full extent of the significance of these audits. One publisher saw a day's income drop from $28 to $3. There were similar drops on other days. Publishers report drops anywhere from 10% up to 60% of revenue cut.

Another forum was even worse. In one thread, several publishers report income audits cutting revenue 70% or more... One publisher reported losing 90% of his income in the audit.

My earnings were cut about 15%. More than HALF of my referral revenue for the month of October was lost. I expect similar results for November.

You have to wonder exactly what they were auditing? Did they drop every non-converting click (i.e. clicks not creating a sale)? If so, publishers certainly didn't expect that. With so many publishers reporting high % drops in revenue due to auditing, it is a possibility.

The problem with posting articles is:

1. Everyone does it. Therefore, you have to keep doing it. This makes it a potentially never ending process. You have to question the value!

Bar Graph MDI Pioneer Report Desktop Switcher Myspace Music Video Codes Thomas Myspace Profile Editor

2. Articles only appeal to article copiers and stealers and attracting the 'wrong' type of visitor that is unwanted.

IE Skin Desktop Switcher Color Picker Headlines MDI Headlines MDI Headlines MDI

3 Doing it rarely converts to a sale, as only reason for visting your site is to get the article for their own agenda.

Tree MDI Tree MDI Tree MDI Pioneer Report MDI Pioneer Report MDI Pioneer Report MDI

4. Posting hoards of articles doesn't make anyone expert. Plus, the quality of some of the articles is laughable and is suspiciously close to 'spam'.

5. There might be a free link for you. However, the practice is so widespread - it kinda loses it's 'edge' as a marketing tool. Do you really want the person that clicks on your url at end of the article thinking that your desperate? It might actually cost you a visitor or a more importantly a sale.

Bar Graph MDI Bar Graph MDI Bar Graph MDI Myspace backgrounds Software downloads Myspace Xanga LiveJournal Layouts Backgrounds

6. You need to post at least 10,000 different ones for it to be worthwhile, and maintain that number constantly for it to work and keep ahead of the game.

It is a waste of valuable time in exchange for the value of traffic gained.

7. One theory why article banks exist isn't to necessarily 'help' anyone. Instead, they charge others to post articles. As so many do it, it must be conceivable that the ones after the free links, DON'T have the ad budget anyway, so the last thing they will do is to puchase anything from the article resources or the poster themselves.

Any effectiveness as a traffic source is short-term and very questionable.

 The sites may be PR6....but not all internal pages are PR6. Placement of the link on the page is another key factor -- I would like to have it buried or referenced in some body of text on the page that had something to do with my site. I would even go as far as maybe wanting the link to point to one of my internal pages (that best represents the page it is on) rather than having it point solely at my Home Page.

I think you may be talking about Page Sponsors too. There are two things to this type of setup....one is the obvious PR linkback. You would want this link on a relative page (like Jurgen mentioned). Link pages are passe....and the focus is to get buried in with some good content with relatively few outbound links on the page.

animated backgroundsanimated star backgroundsblack pink backgroundcool backgroundcool backgrounds

Another thing about page sponsors that is appealing is if the site has high traffic -- it will offer you some exposure (much like GoogleAds would). But traffic can be hard to validate....and if you can get a ballpark on the site even, you would have to spread that across the site's pages (not all people peruse all pages). Never take 'hit totals' a means of measuring traffic (some pages can generate tons of hits for images, etc.).

Sometimes the price per month can be a good indicator of the quality of the link (but not always). If the link is going to run you $200 a month, it is good bet that it may be worth it -- especially if they are asking and getting that and there is a waiting list. If it is in the low $10-$20 range, it may be crap and better to walk away (or if you are the seller, best to buck it up to $60 eh -- make it seem worth it ;0)

All of these things need to be looked at together -- it is not just the link any more. It is everything around it.
