I’ve been noticing alot of start up companies developing more and more interesting concepts when it comes to search technology, and evolving it into a more aesthetically pleasing and less metciulous process getting your desired search results.

Sure, you’ve heard about the advancements in user powered search engines like Cuil and Stumpedia, but the only search engine that REALLY has made me give it a double take is SearchMe.

SearchMe’s interface is already visually stunning, and after a few modifications to the interface (and of course after they have a comprehensive database of search results) … I think I might actually switch from Google! Be careful, if you go to the video search engine, you might fall in love! SearchMe has truly innovated video search interfaces with their carousel display style that you can see.

Other features available make SearchMe truly unique, such as the ability to group your searches into “Stacks” … which allow you to categorize your searches and keep them organized, making it easy to delve into past searches and find an old result with efficiency, instead of retracing your steps on the search engine itself.

Get ahead of the game and submit your websites to SearchMe today!

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!

Welcome to the next evolution in social networking, Stumpedia.

Stumpedia is a sociallly powered search engine that takes input from humans to index, organize, and review the pages of the internet.

You can submit search queries, and add your own entries to the search engine results pages, and furthermore, you can “vote” items on the result pages to bump them up or down. It’s a great way to receive targeted backlinks, while providing useful data to a growing community.

I really like where this system is going, but there seems alot of room for user manipulation of the application, but I’ll stick it out and see how it goes, you should too!

Someone asked this question on a message board I frequent, and, while this question is asked all the time, day in and day out, I realized that no-one in all the blogs, message boards, and documentation websites I visit has seemed to visit this topic yet.

There is really only one answer.

Ready? I’m going to sound like a broken record.

Constantly update your site with fresh, related content and always be on the lookout to build quality backlinks with other sites in your niche.

Sound familiar?

Also, be sure to stay on top of new search trends and marketing strategies, you must stay informed so you can inform others.

Now you have the knowledge of how to receive 10,000 visitors under your belt, happy?

In 2007, alot happened in the world of search engine marketing. Several strategies were born and met their fate last year. Some of these strategies were eighty-sixed because they provided unfair leverage within the search engines and made websites appear to be of more worth than they were.

1. Directory Links - Google pretty much stripped away all the value gained from one-way and reciprocal links that were achieved by directory submissions. PageRank dropped, and so did link value. Now, directory listings are close to good for nothing.

2. Reciprocal Links - Anyone who actively pursued link exchanges as their main source of backlinks felt the wrath of Google as they stripped PageRank of websites who did not have a good ratio of reciprocal links to one way natural links.

3. Text Link Brokers - Companies like Text Link Ads thought they were going to be the next big hit, but as they were starting to grow, their very foundations were shook when Google applied penalties to the SERP’s of many websites. Now text link brokers have gone underground, and carefully swap their goods in 2008.

4. Sponsored Blog Posts - Many websites who were using sites like Smorty, ReviewMe, and PayPerPost as a main way to drive revenue to their blog experienced PageRank and search engine ranking position penalties as well, now bloggers using these paid to post networks have to disguise their paid blog posts to look more legitimate to search engines.

5. Subdomain Supremacy - Many networks (and also spam blogs) utilized this handy SEO technique to leverage search engine spiders’ mechanics by adding many keyword rich subdomains onto the main domain. Google swiftly amended this problem by allowing no more than two subdomain results from a single domain to appear in the search results for a given keyword. This hasn’t fully been worked out as some search queries still return more than that.

Finding “do follow” blogs is probably on everybody’s “most annoying menial task” list … but it is something that needs to be done.

On your daily hunt to find places to sneak backlinks (or legitimately fish for comments back to your blog) … don’t you get tired of using custom Google search queries to find blogs with decent PR and Alexa ratings related to your blog’s niche?

Well, look no further! Here are a few Do Follow Blog Search Engines that have been crafted from Google’s Custom Search feature. Some DoFollow Search Engines are better in my opinion because they have a feature to contact the owner’s to offer suggestions or even report blogs that appear in the search engine that do NOT follow the “DoFollow Blog” rules.

DoFollo - www.dofollo.com

Backlink Spot - www.backlinkspot.com

w3ec’s DoFollow Search Engine - www.w3ec.com/dofollow/

Remember, you shouldn’t spam links back to your blog, try to read the various blogs and comment on ones that interest you and really reflect your niche. These are the best backlinks.
