I have a hub page which im linking to from here. However, if you want to rank for a particular country outside the .com, you have to get alot of external links from that countries domain. For e.g my hup page is for solar power brisbane, which ranks well for google.com, but for solar power brisbane in Australia .au its on the 4th page. Thnaks for that.

I've been thinking a lot about how tools like Twitter have an impact on how we communicate with people today. In a lot of ways, it really enhances the way we can interact with other...but it also takes away from it. I'd love to hear what people think about this topic: http://notabletv.com/2010/lifestyle/is-tech-helping-or-hurting-human-connection-tell-notable-what-you-think/ Great points, very real perspective of what Twitter is and isn’t.

I stumbled on a new one the other day. They look open for business, but very similar to linkedin.com with more of a social business directory look and feel. Nice clean interface though.

]]> Comment on What the Heck is Link Building, Anyway? by Cristian http://thirstypony.com/2008/11/what-the-heck-is-link-building-anyway/comment-page-1/#comment-36776 Cristian Mon, 11 Jan 2010 19:11:09 +0000 http://thirstypony.com/2008/11/what-the-heck-is-link-building-anyway/#comment-36776 In my perspective link building should not be limited only to aquiring back links from external sources. A good way of <a href="http://trafficcpanel.com/820/silo-structure-seo-method-that-lifts-the-pressure-off-link-building/" rel="nofollow">improving your site's ranking power</a> is to leverage your own content webpages. Link juice/Authority passed between webpages from the same domain are just as valuable as that coming from other related websites. This type of practice is better called in SEO as Silo-structuring a website and the core idea behind it is to separate the site into individual, ISOLATED categories or topics and then conduct link building campaigns for each of these sections or silos. One thing to keep in mind is to heavily interlink webpages from the same category. References to other categories should be made only through links pointing to that category landing page and not to webpages within the category. That's the short version of this silo structure strategy. Hope it helps! Cheers, Cristian In my perspective link building should not be limited only to aquiring back links from external sources.

From celebs to the local weatherman everyone's now yappin' just to yap. This is why we have personally bailed out of most social media activities. Some of it still has genuine value, but most of it is just noise. No kidding… From celebs to the local weatherman everyone’s now yappin’ just to yap.
