Okay not really, but MyBlogLog uses javascript to produce nicely formatted "last [x] visitors" on your blog.

But the search engines do not read javascript…

Here is a simple little php script you can copy into a page that can display php.

This currently only works for the widgets that display the large icons with link text names. I am working on adding functionality for the other style and will post it here when it is done.

Simply put the widget code mybloglog gives you in the variable I provide and you can now pass some link love to your visitors profile pages as well as your own.

An example is live at http://www.seofox.com/widget.php

Many SEO's have already heard of link baiting, which is pulling media attention to your website and gaining links when other people are talking about it. Well Graywolf had come up with a new method of link baiting - picture baiting.

He defines this as a way of using pictures to attract attention. He claims it as "Environmentally Friendly Link Bait", which I don't understand that well. He used the following picture as an example:

A similar way to use picture baiting can be on Digg Videos and Podcasts. As you may have noticed, Digg will display an image to the left of the video or podcast. If you already know this, why not put up a picture which others are attracted to take a second glance at? It would definitely lead to more Diggs than putting up an image of something which won't get a second glance.

This is definitely a good marketing tip to getting more clicks/diggs/traffic.

As pointed out by Barry, a friend of mine over at seroundtable.com (http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/007250.html), google seems to now be seeing subdomains of a website as being from the same domain as the root.

Some examples that Barry and SEO Scoop noticed are:

http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.seroundtable.com
http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.about.com
http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.blogspot.com
http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.craigslist.org

Until I saw Barrys post I had never seen subdomains come up in searches for www.domain.com before using the site: operator.

Maybe the bit in googles webmaster central that allows you to specifiy www.domain.com or domain.com of a website is finally working properly, or possibly this is gathered from the xml sitemaps data.

This may affect those who rely on links from subdomains being seen as seperate entities and holding a little extra weight than normal internal links.

CrankyDave Said: "ETA… Just checked 2 of links you posted Will (about and craigslist) and neither were showing any subdomains. Perhaps it's the DC I hit."

 You are correct. I am not seeing them there any longer either, tho they are still on 4 DC's, so it may just be an engineer playing with some new changes on those DC's. If that is the case, then it could be something we can expect across the board soon if it works out as expected.

Update (Jan 23: 8am) As noted on RustyBricks log, Google says this was a mistake and is being corrected.

Google has been releasing many different services based on offline marketing. They have been testing their magazine & newspaper print ads with select advertisers and publishing companies. There have been rumors of Google releasing a service to place commercials on TV channels. Now Google has decided to start offering services to let advertisers place commercials on popular radio stations - Audio Ads .

This new service was spotted as an advertisement while searching through Google and it looks like it's in a BETA stage and only accepting a few elite advertisers. From the looks of it, Google plans on offering their advertisers the ability to:

• Select from hundreds of radio stations across the U.S. to run your audio ads
• Target your customers by station type, demographics, and time of day
• View online reports that show you when and where your ad played
• Listen to real-time recordings of your ads as they were played on the radio

Up until now, many webmasters have been utilizing online marketing via Pay-Per-Click and advertisements to bring traffic to their websites. This can usually be because webmasters enjoy knowing where the traffic came from.

When receiving traffic from offline marketing, Google Analytics will always display the referrer as "Direct". So how would you be able to tell if they came to your website through offline marketing methods like Google Audio Ads? Simple, just put up a poll which checks the origin of traffic. If none is given, the poll is shown to the user. It could be through a pop-up as well, which will get their attention.

This way, you can get a good idea of where your visitors are coming from and how they heard of your website.  I think Google Audio Ads would be great for webmasters who run a website based off of a social community, like forums, pligg and such.
