For too long, I've avoided creating a profile in Google for various reasons. But I just found out that they are giving free business cards away to Google profile members, so I figured I'll capitalize on that. I don't get too personal in my profile. It was mainly built to support my theme; Freelance SEO Expert.
You can check it out if you like. I'll revisit it in the near future and make it a little bit more robust. But for now, let's put some age on it and give it a link.

A San Diego SEO Company on Merchant Circle
Another great place to submit your local company is Merchant Circle. Yes, there are 1,000's if not millions of places to submit your business to for a listing, but there's something special about Merchant Circle. It's like the Yellow Page, mixed with MySpace but with a twist. Businesses can now mingle and network via a social network and we don't have anything to worry about because we all understand that we're companies trying to make a living, friend and/or a buck. Here's a link to my SEO Company profile and my San Diego SEO Blog.

Here's a video brought to you by California SEO; SEO by the Hour . :) Learn the importance of back links in order to dominate the search engines. Link building is a very important search engine marketing factor to consider.
This video is posted in many social networks so feel free to embed them on your site using whatever network is your favorite. I'm only using Vimeo here because I'm using the YouTube and Blip TV versions in other places.
When it comes to embedding videos and aesthetics, I prefer Vimeo & Youtube over all the other video networks.

Link Building Expert Article - Backlink Building Tips
I just wrote an article titled "Link Building Tips for Obtaining Relevant Backlinks" in order to give a quick overall of a typical strategic and planned-out link building campaign. I cover various link building issues from what types of links you need, why you need them and some ways to obtain them. The main point of this article was to create a link titled "link building expert" that could possibly have the chance to be mass reproduced. (hence the title of this post and the anchor text to the article; relevance)
Here's a snippet of my link building article.
...
- Contact other webmasters and let them know about your site. These webmasters should be websites in your industry with a lot of visitors
- Notify forums. Every industry has forums. Letting visitors that participate in these forums know about your site can generate buzz.
- Find blogs in your industry with huge RSS subscribers. Ask them to review your site. Normally all their visitors/commentators will review your site as well.
- Convert all your text content to podcast using text to voice software (Or you can record someone reading it). Then submit your podcast to podcast directories.

Check it out and comment what you think.

Kate Sessions Park in San Diego, CA
About 4 or 5 days of the week, my girlfriend and I take our little french bulldogs to Kate Sessions Park. We just let them loose and they run around with the biggest smiles on their faces. The park is actually not a leash free park, but if you go after 5/5:30 (after the rangers have left) you can let your dog loose to play with all the other dogs.
Here's a video of Kate Sessions' large grass field. It's perfect to us and our dogs.
If you want to see more of our little french bulldogs or this video continued, visit our blog FrenchieTink.com

SEO Footer Links at the Bottom of My Blog
Right now I'm acting a little insane, creating web site after website. After discovering easier ways to get to the top of the SERP's, I decided to put what I know to the test and created about 10 websites targeting the toughest terms. I have no real plan for these rankings so this high-targeted-keyword campaign may not last long.
So to be honest with all my readers, I'm only keeping this blog up because I created in 2005 and it seems that Google recognizes all of its outbound links. I was talking about SEO then and I'll continue to talk about SEO now. I may even start posting more since it seems like every time I create a post, every page I'm linking to gets another backlink, FAST!
It's funny how much I've learned since 2004/2005. But it's also funny to see how much I've always known.
I've always known that the more keyword rich links I get pointing to me, the better my rankings will be. But over time you learn which links count and how links are evaluated.
My footer links: At the bottom of this blog, I have footer links that link to web 2.0 profiles created. I bookmarked many of my SEO pages in these profiles, that's why I labeled the links the way I did. But those links wont count for anything if Google can't find them or if no one else finds that page your link is on interesting.
So with this aged sub-domain (within blogger) that seems to somewhat have a little trust, I linked to my profiles linking to my other pages. This is a mild form of link tunneling. It helps Google find my links and it also helps verify my links. The real question is how much does it take to finally show up here? I'm GUESSING either

- Certain amount of times the bots passes through a link to that page.
- Certain amount of links it must past through to find that page.
- Certain length of time from the first time Google found it.
Like I said I'm guessing.

Middle of the Night SEO
It was interesting to see that DP had the most users ever online at 4am in the morning.
Nice to see I'm not alone.
I guess that can be all the early bird eastcoast SEO's and everyone else in the world not on the west coast.
Ok, it's not surprising.

If your SEO specialist doesn't know these basic optimization techniques like the back of their hand, then you should consider leaving him or her. If they can't perform these techniques, you're better off ordering Aaron Wall's SEO Book and doing the SEO yourself. But if you are in competitive field or don't have enough time to perform these tasks, then consider a REAL SEO Specialist.

Social SEO - A Few New Web 2.0 SEO Profiles
I spent a couple hours the other day going though a list of web 2.0 sites I've been meaning to check out. I went through the whole registering process and filled out as many sections as possible in order the test the full possibilities of these social networks. The main things I recorded were; do I get a link and if so is it redirected or no followed? How many members are their? What's the site's Alexa rank and Page Rank? And what types of media can I upload? If I found a social network that met my criteria, I marked it as a website I will spend more time enjoying and making the best of socially and SEO organically.
Here are a fraction of the social networks I just recently joined and plan to heavly get involved in.
Boomer411.com - This is a social networking site for baby boomers. Very active site with a growing amount of visitors joining everyday. I liked that I was able to have my own profile and bookmark sites that others submitted. Here's My SEO by the Hour Profile on Boomer411.
Blip.tv - If you have any videos, join Blip.tv. This site does a great job at making you feel like you have your own tv show on a tv channel with a faithful group of viewers. I started it with my Flickr SEO Video. I just like the fill of this site. Very fun, yet professional.
BuddyMarks.com - This is kinda like Delicious, but with less traffic and not as advanced. It's a personal bookmarking page. That's it! But, one thing it does have is followed links, unlike Delicious. And to me, this is muy bueno.
Dealigg.com - If you are an affiliate marketer that knows how to work redirects, doorways and/or link cloaking, this site could be one of your favorite sites to visit. Or, if you are someone that likes to find a bargain, this site puts a twist on classifieds and discount purchasing by adding a social aspect to it. They gave me a unique profile page that can be indexed by the engines. My SEO Profile Page on Dealigg.
Eyespot.com - I like this site all around. It's very fun to me because it allows me to upload all my media in one place and let's my friends comment and or tag them. Beside that, I get to create my own blog. To me, it's a cleaner MySpace which I plan on user a lot more of in the VERY near future.
Furl.net - Another Digg, Delicious, Magnolia etc. The difference is the whole layout and how they catergorize your bookmarks. It sets it up in archives making it easier to retrieve past bookmarks. As long as you can remember the day, month, week or year you bookmarked a site, you will have no problem finding old bookmarks.
Like I said, this was just a few profiles I've created and I have many more to go. Just remember to ask yourself one question once you create your profile. Now that I have a profile, how do I get Google to recognize it?
Here's a clue:
"Passing juice from established pages to new unindex pages by linking to them is a great way to help Google find those undiscovered pages WORTH indexing."
