Tried & tested internet promotion & marketing techniques for all web pros.
30 May
So, you’ve probably been noticing a couple new things around here, namely the new tab in the upper navigation bar that says “Internet Marketing & SEO Tools” … this is a new section I’ve made to keep track of various internet marketing tools and seo tools that I have created for public use. (Oh, and, of course, make it easier for you to find and utilize.)
Right now, there are two available tools, FeedStub and GREMLin. I’ve already spoke with you about FeedStub and RSS feed directories … so lets get on to the hot ticket item.
GREMLin is a new link building tool that I am developing. It works exactly like the Google search engine (because it uses it, duh) … except that instead of returning the usual results pages that you are familiar with, GREMLin returns a list of clickable links for you without all the other text you weren’t going to read anyways.
Using search queries like the following return the best results:
[KEYWORD / KEYWORD PHRASE] “leave a reply”
[KEYWORD / KEYWORD PHRASE] “remember my personal information”
[KEYWORD / KEYWORD PHRASE] “notify me of follow-up comments”
Each of these will return links to commentable WordPress blogs related to your desired keyword. For now, you have to check if they are nofollow’ed or not yourself, but hopefully not for long.
This should help some of you out on cutting down time spent finding “do follow” blogs to drop backlinks on.
Anyways, enjoy the new toys, and please please PLEASE PLEASE …
Comments about GREMLin are welcome! What features do you want to see? Do you have some more useful search queries I can post up here for people to use?

If you’re a true internet marketer, you spend alot of time dealing with “buzz” … “buzz” is what we refer to the hot tickets on the web as.
This tool cuts down on time spent looking for the best keywords to start with, note that I say start with. You still want to use other tools like Wordze and Wordtracker to generate your more optimized keyword lists and keyword phrases!

Some of these might seem they have been drug out and beaten many times, but you still see sites employing these methods, scattered across the internet.
Do not stuff the same keyword / keyword phrase into every header tag!
You will not pass search engine spider inspection, and your website will appear dull and boring to actual readers who might actually have an interest in your site.
Do not cram your title with tons of keywords!
Your title should be quick and to the point, and optionally include your site name at the end. It’s there to inform both visitors AND spiders of exactly what the page is about.
Do not bold the same keyword over and over and over!
Using bold to emphasize points you are trying to make is great, and can help visually direct a user along your idea’s path of progression. However, if used and abused, it can quickly turn the same visitor away.
Do not stuff keywords into the alt attributes of your images!
This is another SEO No-No! Alt attributes should accurately describe the image that it is describing. Nothing more, nothing less. Make sense?
Do not stuff keywords into anything, period!
It’s easily picked up on by search engine spiders, as we’ve all learned one way or another, and it can just as easily repel potential readers or customers.
Capiche?
