Carolyn Shelby posted an interesting article at her blog about a website that is using one of the oldest an obvious spamdexing techniques there is at
http://www.cshel.com/seosem/2007/05/how-well-does-the-google-algo-catch-spamdexers/
I was actually a little surprised. I know many of us build a few sites to send some linking juice to our sites, however parking 5000 or more domains on a parking page template meant to send links to the main site is a tad overboard, especially when they are all identical replicated website. That should trip a few filters here and there, or so some engines would have us think… But it sure works and I do notsee any of the engines doing anything about it since her article was posted. I expect more than a few black hats are already on this bandwagon.

Everyone knows Google's stand on webmasters selling paid links to other websites. They hate it even more when it's for links that aren't related to their website content. I can understand why Search Engines would be defensive since they believe webmasters are simply looking to 'game' them.
Anyway, Google has decided to set up a way for webmasters to snitch on their fellow webmasters who are selling paid links on their website. Matt Cutts, apparently, heard many webmasters complaining that they couldn't snitch on their competitors more effectively.
Google, always looking out to improve their search engine, decided to ask webmasters to report users buying/selling paid link listings. I would find this a major problem for forums like DigitalPoint, who have an extremely busy Marketplace, consisting of many paid link sales.
Basically, if you have a competitor (ranking higher than you in Google) who sells paid links and you would like them to suffer a penalty, go and report them now!

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
| Code: |
| <?php
// put your generated widget code from mybloglog here
$mybloglog_widget_code = '';
// DO NOT TOUCH BELOW HERE PLEASE
$geturl = str_replace('<script type="text/javascript" src="', '', $mybloglog_widget_code);
$geturl = str_replace('"></script>','', $geturl);
$result = file_get_contents($geturl);
$result = str_replace('mbl_pub_str += "', '', $result);
$result = str_replace('";', '', $result);
$result = str_replace('\"', '"', $result);
$result = str_replace("<style type='text/css'>", "</script>\n<style type='text/css'>", $result);
$result = str_replace('document.write(mbl_pub_str);', '', $result);
$result = '<script>' . $result;
echo "$result\n";
echo "<a href=http://www.seofox.com target=new style=\"font-size:11px;\">SeoFox Enhanced</a>\n";
?>

#1. Chamber of Commerce
Because you should be well known in the community it is almost always worth paying the annual fee to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce. In many cases a Chamber may have an on line directory available for members to be listed on. These websites almost always have great Trust Rank with Google because they often have links from .gov or .edu sites which makes them an authority of their own right.
#2. Client Referral Links
Everyone likes free or close to no cost marketing. If you have a client that comes into your shop that owns a business and has a website then you have an excellent opportunity to solicit a lot more then just your services. Ask your client if they would be interested in displaying a brochure or business card in your shop at no financial cost to them. If they are interested then let them know that you are simply looking to drive some traffic to your website for additional business and that a link on their home page would be a HUGE help.
#3. Purposeful Testimonies
Everyone has an ego that loves to be stroked. Take advantage of this opportunity by writing a two to three paragraph rave about a particular business that you regularly use. When you are finished, find every e-mail address possible on the business website and send the testimony to each e-mail. Be sure to include your signature WITH a link to your own website and there is a chance that they might display your testimony on their site with the link in tact.
