Today I am trialing a piece of software that provides semi automated submission to online directories, social bookmarking websites and article sites. What’s more this free directory submission is hosted right here on markrushworth.com for you all to try out.
Basically you register with the system (i give you 1000 free credits – 1 credit per domain which i think is more than ample) and you fill in some basic details of your target site. The free directory submission tool then visits each directory in turn and all you need to do is fill in the captcha and appropriate category for submission.
The reason for my trialling this is my annoyance with the paid services out there where there is no control over the quality of directories in a list. Also Google seem to be using ‘low level’ link building techniques like directory submission with great effect (even Rand thinks so).
Give it a try and let me know your thoughts.

You can all thank Blueclaw’s Senior SEO consultant, Monica for this.
The blueclaw team hold weekly internal presentations where a member of the team stands up and talks at length and in great detail about a specific topic. Todays was a talk on Keyword Research by Monica which covered a lot of information about the tools, types and formats of keywords in best-practice usage.
As part of this presentation a slide was put up that showed a keyword research tool that I hadn’t seen before and I thought that in addition to the Google Link Wheel, provides a more lateral insight into the terms Google ring fences around a core topic. This tool is the Think Pragmatic Keyword Suggestion Tool.
It basically allows you to capture the live suggestions that Google displays as a search term is entered into the standard search box.
Nice!

Wow, three posts today… I am on fire!
Just noticed that you can nw authenticate/validate websites in Google Webmaster Tools using your Google Analytics tracking code.
Google Webmaster Tools
How cool is that. No more need for META tags, strange files in your website root or DNS authentication… NICE!

I’ve been looking through the vast raft of automated and semi automated SEO tools out there and one that is free and appears to work is a free online directory submission service called Easy Submits.
Basically you register your site, fill in the standard directory prerequisites and then click through each directory title in their list of over 2000. The site then pulls in the form and captcha and you click submit.
Don’t CTRL click a bank of links open as it messes up the captcha reference – its best to do them one by one.
Oh and you can filter by captureless directories if you want to speed through some basic directory submissions.
Theres some really great features like having the ability to check each directory for acceptance, reporting errors and basic PR data etc for each directory listing.
Check it out today.

If you’re heavily into SEO and link building then you should be into content aggregation and Guest Posting is a great way of not only getting your content out there but also a way of building your brand (and the brand of your clients). If you don’t know what guest posting is then its simply the act of having an article posted on a 3rd party website.
There are pleanty of guides to how to effectively guest post out there and key to this is tailoring what you have to say around what the target blogs community wants to read so I’d even go so far as to say you’d be better of writing completely unique content for this purpose.
Theres a new resource in town created (I think) by the world famous Anne Smarty and this is myblogguest.com. It’s basically a forum of publishers and SEO’s/writers who are looking for their opposite party within the guest post relationship.
The main reason for this post is to encourage UK bloggers and SEO’s to get involved as at the moment its mainly USA focused and the good ol’ UK needs to represent!
If you want a guest post from me then look me up on there.
njoy.

Thanks to Siti for the tip on this… If you’re interested in monitoring Pagerank then theres a great free tool that will automatically send you an email alert letting you know of the change.
This is pretty cool as it will let you know if your working well or if you’ve done something naughty that warrants a re-think (not that that happens often… honest)
So if pagerank’s your think and you’d like a tool that notifies you of the update give pagerankalert.com a try

I know its a dog but it still pays to factor in Google’s Pagerank as a qualifier for your link building efforts.
Ive discovered this great tool that, via copy and paste, will mass check the pagerank of 100s of urls at a time.
Its even better because it also exports a CSV and includes Alexarank (for what its worth).
Give it a go and save yourself hours:

I’ve been playing with some code in an existing script and come across a big chunk of encryption starting with the line : eval(gzinflate(base64_decode, this appears to be a method of encrypting a line with the base64 method and then gzipping the file to further make it difficult to read.
To get around this and to discover the secrets hidden underneath I discovered a great tool that decodes the gzinflate base64 code into a format you can read.
Simply copy and paste the code as instructed to get going:
Wonderful stuff.

Just caught this nifty little tip from Blind Five Year Old where those of you who dont like the new Google Keyword Tools design can revert back to the old UI by using the following address:
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal?forceLegacy=true
Personally I love the new design and think the directory is insightful even tho i do often have to turn off Googles suggested additions to my keyword pool.
Right, back to it
