Power Searching With Google

The Power Searching with Google class was awesome! I was able to take a deeper look into the way Googlebot thinks but I'd have to say the coolest thing I took away from the class was the Google Operators. I used to call the custom footprints as did every other black hat hack and Srapebox user but now Google has a name for them and I will be doing a special post where I will try to list every single list one of them along with best use of different Google Operator combinations that can help you target and harvest just the parts of the web you want.

Lastly, I gotta bring up the Google Dark Web Operators that are designed to search and crawl whats known as the invisible web aka "Dark Web".

The class is now closed to public registration but you will be able to see the full course, videos and activities on the Power Searching With Google official website.

Why Outsource Link Building?

The simple answer is; You should outsource your link building to help combat the new Google Panda Updates. The reason I say this is because now that Google has cracked down even more on webspam, link building has become much more labor intensive and this means you will need more link builders to carry you into this new post Panda era. Lets face it, the cost of labor in most Western countries has increased so much that it is almost impossible to get a return on your SEO investment without link building outsourcing.

Manual Link Building Outsourcing

Building backlinks to your site manually is the most important attribute of off-page SEO. That being said, building high quality, "content based links" takes time and experience. That is why contracting a SEO outsourcing company that specializes in this is your wisest option.  Outsourced link builders can add hundreds, even thousands of high quality links to your website every month. Some of the manual link building activities include guest posting, blogging, forums, manual directory submissions, content creation, creating and managing Web2.0 properties, social media and more.  These are the types of links that can take hours to obtain. Unless you have an already established SEO team or you plan on staying up on Adderall, working feverishly throughout the night, I suggest you get a few SEO outsourcing agents to do this for you.

Zachary has been doing SEO for 8+ years but the best part is that he spent more than half of that time working and living in outsourcing destinations like India, Philippines and Romania. Not only has Zachary grown to become one of the top respected SEOs in the industry but he has also excelled to become the #1 most experienced SEO outsourcing consultant in the world.

Philippines SEO Outsourcing

I've been living in the Philippines off and on since 2006 and have enjoyed the benefits of outsourcing SEO services here ever since. Philippines' national language is now English and while there are still people in the villages that do not speak it, you will find that around 70% of the general population and 100% of college graduates are fluent. This made Philippines the new #1 destination for call center outsourcing in 2011 and I believe the country will also lead the way in SEO outsourcing in the years to come.

The Future of SEO Outsourcing

Now more than ever, SEO outsourcing has become very important to the success of any link building campaign. The reason for this is simply because the new Google Panda updates have squashed many automated techniques, making SEO much more time consuming and labor intensive. The only way to combat this is by ramping up on manual SEO processes. Some of these manual SEO techniques include, guest posting, forum submissions, social media, article marketing and content creation. The best way to ramp up is by using SEO agents located in the Philippines because you can literally afford to hire 5 SEO agents for the price of 1, making Philippines SEO outsourcing a no-brainer!

How do I Outsource my SEO to the Philippines?

There are 3 common ways to outsource your SEO to the Philippines...

1. You can find an already established SEO company in the Philippines and just farm the work out to them. If you choose this option I suggest you choose wisely because not all SEO outsourcing companies are created equal. You will want to find out more about their top SEOhe person who does the training and manages the SEO team. Find out more about his or her background and experience. If this individual is any good at SEO he or she should be easy to find online and it should be just as easy to see their track record.
2. Seat lease in an outsourcing facility. In this option you merely pay a monthly flat rate for what is know as a "warm seat". A warm seat means the company will provide the SEO agent and a workstation while you delegate the agent's daily activities. This option is a bit cheaper and it is a great method of SEO outsourcing that still allows you to maintain more control over the process.
3. Setting up your own offshore facility. This option has greater start up costs but cheaper operation costs per agent. This option also gives you complete control over your SEO outsourcing process. Doing business in a new country can come with its own challenges from opening offshore offices, Filipino corporate fillings and recruitment practices.

No matter which method you choose to outsource your SEO to the Philippines, I can be of great assistance. I've been doing SEO since 2003 with the experiences of opening and operating SEO outsourcing processes in Bucharest, Romania, New Delhi, India and the Philippines.

SEO for Adult Sites

Adult SEO

Doing search engine optimization for adult websites is probably one of the most challenging niches in the world. That being said, its also one of the most lucrative niches in the world! According to top eCommerce consultancy firms, porn websites bring in three thousand US dollars per minute while the top adult sites are bringing in more than two hundred thousand US dollars each week! Many have coined the practice of SEO for adult sites, "porn SEO" and despite the stigma that goes along with the porn industry, porn SEO has become a prestigious title within the search engine optimization community.

Nowadays, all the most advanced and sneakiest SEO techniques come from the tactics used by porn SEOs such as myself. The reason for this is partially due to the censorship that the online adult industry faces but also due to the extreme competition of other adult sites. See the very first online transaction was a porn site and ever since then online adult content has grown to become the largest sector of online content with just over 36% of the pie.

Censorship Makes SEO for Adult Sites Difficult

Building links to your adult site is an integral part of any porn SEO campaign but most other sites, especially, all the top authority sites, ban adult content just as they also ban links to adult content. This is why I suggest the strategy of building a Porn Linkwheel that employs the use of high quality content, web2.0 sites, social media, blogs, forums and even more importantly, porn buffering sites that allow you to link to them first and then they to the money site.

High Competition Makes SEO for Adult Sites Difficult

As I mentioned before, over 36% of every webpage out there is adult content. This might not seem like a lot but in comparison niches, its actually leaps and bounds greater than any other online sector. This alone makes SEO for adult sites much more difficult because of the billion other pages out there trying to get ranked within the first 10 spots of Google. Post panda SEO requires that each and every page be comprised of unique, high quality content and the ways to go about this involve much more than just good videos and pictures. Now for adult sites to get ranked, they must be on the cutting edge with clean coding of their CMS, social media integration, rich media and APIs

For a complete guide and valuable tips, I suggest you read my full article about SEO for adult sites. You can easily find it on the first page of Google by simply searching for the keyword porn SEO. There I have drafted a 3000 word article about adult search engine optimization and I plan on appending to it on a regular basis with my newest SEO tricks and keeping it up-to-date with the newest Google updates. Especially, the Google Panda updates!

Google Panda SEO Techniques

Welcome to the new world of Google Panda SEO. In my 8 years of doing SEO, I have seen hundreds of Google updates and algorithm changes but the recent Google Panda Updates have changed the game forever! Before I get too deep into explaining the new Panda SEO techniques, I feel that it is important to take a deeper look at exactly what it is that Google is trying to achieve with these new Panda updates. You can also read my more encompassing article titled, Post Panda SEO.

What are the Google Panda Updates?

On February 24th 2011, Google launched what would become a series of algorithm updates that would effect their search results and improve user experience by making high quality, relevant websites easier to find. These updates became known as the infamous Panda Updates. Since then Google has rolled out 6 more Panda updates listed below...

• Panda Update 1.0: Feb 24, 2011
• Panda Update 2.0: Apr 11, 2011
• Panda Update 2.1: May 10, 2011
• Panda Update 2.2: June 16, 2011
• Panda Update 2.3: July 23, 2011
• Panda Update 2.4: Aug 12, 2011
• Panda Update 2.5: Sept 28, 2011

This update first targeted what Google called content farms. Content farms are large websites that build up thousands of content in the effort to capture more search results. Over the past few years websites like Ezinearticles.com Ehow.com and Hubpages.com started dominating the search results making it harder for users to find exactly what they are looking for from the direct source. After slapping down content farms, Google went after websites that use spammy or sloppy link building techniques. Lastly, the Panda has become the most strict copy writing critic in the world by cracking down on poorly written content.

What Does this Mean for SEOs?

It means that the task of search engine optimization just got a lot harder. No longer do black hat tools and techniques wield power over the more labor intensive white hat SEO techniques. In post Panda SEO, you could run a few auto posting programs to rewrite and post articles creating hundreds of slightly different versions with a back link in each one. Now your SEO must be carried out by highly qualified individuals that have a good understanding of keyword research, web development, copy writing and content publishing.  This being said, SEO outsourcing has become even more critical when writing articles, link building and social media. It now takes a dedicated team of search engine optimizers to maintain steady growth of a website's search engine traffic.
