Freelance SEO Expert Gets New Google Profile
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.

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."

MojoPages, San Diego & SEO... Well, Almost SEO
Just today I was reminded by an email of this site called MojoPages.com. It's a great site with an awesome idea. The owner pretty much explains it as Youtube meets the Yellow Pages.
Mojo Pages is a social networking Yellow Pages. Businesses can get listed by happy or dissapointed users and everyone can put their '2 cent' in about that company/business. To top it off, you can make friends with others in your city/area and share opinions you may have about different establishments in your town.
Being a SEO in San Diego and working on websites here in San Diego, I thought this might be a good chance to add a couple local San Diego businesses to the site. Afterall, I pretty much do this with typical web 2.0 bookmarking sites & regular yellow pages and directories.
But, before I put much time into anything like this, I normally check for nofollows
ctrl + 'U' (If using Firefox),
ctrl + 'F' : find nofollow

As you can see any link added to this site will not get followed by the robots. The page is indexed, so Mojo Pages with definitely have (your) content. But your links wont get indexed. But, this is only a problem when it comes to SEO and PageRank. Any place to add content about your business for free is a good place to start. The site's Alexa rank isn't bad, so it couldn't hurt to add your local company to the website. Plus, even though bots don't follow links and index them, that doesn't mean they can't read them and associate the 2 pages (linker and linkee).

Flickr is SEOable - A Search Engine Optimized Profile
Today I want to show y'all how to optimize a Flickr account. I'll simply show you how to apply basic SEO Techniques to your Flickr account.
First and foremost, Flickr is a Photo account provided by Yahoo! that allows you to create your own photo galleries and sets. So remember, to use this technique, you must have pictures.
Now, when you create a Flickr account, you are given a profile page with your own url within the flickr domain. In other words, Flickr is giving you a page to optimize anyway you please within their website.
So here we go.
When you first start a profile, you are given the option to choose a username. Pick one with your targeted keywords in the the name, for this will be your unique part of your url address.
For example; If you want to rank high for the term 'san diego law firm', pick a username like sandiegolawyer007, this will turn out to look like this; http://www.flickr.com/people/sandiegolawyer007.
So now we have a optimized url.
Next, when it's time to pick a screen name, pick one that is similar to your key phrase. Use one to 3 words relating to your targeted keywords within your sreen name. This is important because this will be your title tag.
When you edit your profile first and last name, whatever you put here will show up right next to your Screen name. (Latent/Relevant content chance)
Scroll down to Describe yourself...
This is your chance to make a keyword rich page full of content relevant to your targeted keyword.
Flickr says "some html ok", so it's ok to give yourself a bold, italicized keyword anchor text link with keyword-rich surrounding content pointing back to your webpage relevant to your new Flickr profile.
But keep in mind, they do give you a chance to add you "Online bits" so you can add your website later if you don't want within the content.
Later down the page they have the "things you like", these sections allow some html also, so you could add more content if desired. I like to look at these pages like equivalents to my sub-pages and add deep links pointing to co-ordinating pages.
Just keep in mind that every box that is editable is SEOable.
