Hello world, again!

Just re-published the site to a central server… time to cut out a few of my extraneous hosting accounts.

Right now, I’m enjoying working with The International Center in New York.  You can learn English in New York with their ESOL classes to polish English language pronunciation, writing & conversation skills.

Blogs of “The Big Three”

The best sources of free seo advice for webmasters often comes from the search engines themselves. Additionally, the “Big Three” search engines (Google, Yahoo! and MSN/Live.com in that order) also offer tool suites for webmasters to load sitemaps, check backlinks and spider status of their pages. So, for today’s free tip, check out these resources:

Search Blogs

Webmaster Centers

Ambidextrous Scallywags

Want to do something fun? Check out www.GoogleWhack.com and learn about “Google Whacking”… finding a two word combination with no results in Google. The point is for fun but the nerdy SEO challenge then becomes who can report, then get rankings for that Google Whack.

For more fun with Google Whacking, go to Google.com and type in one of the two word phrases you find on the GoogleWhack.com website. Copy the URL of the #1 site, then search for this in Google:

link:{paste the URL}

Take note of the sites that show up in that list. That’s how the SEO guy or gal got the rankings for that phrase. The results are mostly hijacked .EDU or .GOV sites, which I would not recommend you replicate, but it’s interesting to see the process of gaining rankings at work.
