High PageRank Domain Fraud

EF NOTE: This is for those among you who want to buy domains based on their Google PageRank (PR) ratings, and are willing to pay a premium for higher PRs. Shopping through registrars like GoDaddy and auction sites like eBay for good, clever and very marketable domains without regard to PR (and their higher prices) don’t have to be quite as worried about the “fraud” described here, but you may still want to use some of the really helpful domain checker tools mentioned in this very useful article.

By Jerry West

This article covers the rising rate of fraud in the industries of selling expired and used domains.

Do-It-Yourself SEO - A Beginner’s Checklist

By John Metzler

There have always been do-it-yourselfers succeeding at Web promotion and search engine optimization. In fact, many of the established businesses offering Web services today came from humble beginnings, perhaps nothing more than a college student with a laptop, an Internet connection, and too much free time. The Web evolves as the result of the innovation and experimentation of individuals. The sharing of knowledge. The do-it-yourself attitude.

As text link brokers and mass link networking decrease in value and use in social media increases, it becomes more important for companies to have an internal approach and awareness of search engine marketing. Don’t get me wrong; outsourcing to SEO firms is still a smart option. That said, making the most out of Web 2.0 usually requires some level of cooperation between SEO firm and site owner. You don’t need to be an expert to know the basics of good SEO practices, and that added knowledge will be a great advantage whether you’re working along side an SEO team, or promoting your own site in your spare time.
