Get a do-follow link for free!

Citiservi is a new local search engine. It’s an independent project which aims to keep in touch service providers and businesses in Spain.

You can add your own business with phisical address, phone numbers and all details and get a free do-follow link on a personal page.

However its Pagerank is still pretty low but I’m confident it will grow quickly in a short time. Add it to your bookmark list and do not forget about it when it comes to plan the next link building strategy.

Ever wondered of managing redirect without Google getting to know about it?

We can actually play around with CSS in order to redirect pages and traffic. Since this trick will involve only CSS, we can be pretty sure of going unnoticed by search engines still achieving what we want.

This trick still uses Javascript in some sort of way. But the good thing about it is that CSS code does not get analyzed by Google.

Now, just think about all the possible SEO exploits this trick can have…!

We just need these three files:
redirect.htc

<attach event="ondocumentready" handler="redirect" />
<script language="JScript">

function redirect() {
window.document.location.href = 'http://www.xxxxxxxxx.com';
}

</script>

Then redirect.xml

<?xml version = "1.0"?>

<bindings xmlns = "http://www.mozilla.org/xbl" xmlns:html = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<binding id = "redirect" applyauthorstyles = "false">

<implementation>
<constructor>
//

var elem = this;           // maintain a reference to the bound element

window.addEventListener('load',
function()
{
location.href='http://www.xxxxxxxxxx.com';
},false);

//
</constructor>
</implementation>

</binding>

</bindings>

index.html code

<style>
body {
behavior:url("./redirect.htc");
-moz-binding: url('./redirect.xml#redirect');
}
</style>

This is a good example on how versatile Analytics is. If someone though putting out Analytics would have been only to get on a massive amount of date (even if users are allowed to keep their statistics out of Google’s sight), I guess it just a great added value to Google’s brand as it’s getting closer to other big analytics names like Webtrends or Nedstat.

Anyway, this article explains in depth how to start tracking article campaigns on Analytics. Since sending press releases around has become a standard practice in web promotion strategy, this one will help you out in case you need to get exact figures about that traffic.

So here’s a short list of the most useful WordPress plugins for those who need some promotion and craving for some good quality traffic.

Nb: this is not the same old list of SEO and Social plugins. These add-ons will actually drive traffic to your blog e ven if you’ve just started from scratch.

nk about anyway you can spread your content, than try to imagine a plugin able to do it and look for it on the wordpress plugin website.

Pingcrawl – This comes straight out from Bluehat SEO. If you don’t know this blog you’d better check it out it’s proably one of the best resources around for SEO with a really interesting approach to coding and the internet. Anyway, the plugin woks with Google API: everytime you publish a new posts, Pingcrawl looks for blogs related to your posts keywords and posts a linkback to them at the end of your post. It’s a really smart way to get some backlinks.

Linkcurl – It works in a very similar way to Pingcrawl. It differs for requirements and code but it’s another great piece of code you got to have. Works with WordPress 2.3+ but needs PHP5.

Twitter Tools – I still find hard to rationalize all the hype around Twitter in term of its online marketing use but after being using this plugin for a while I can definetely say it’s a powerful tool if wisely used.
This plugin twits a link to your post every time you publish something. Basically you ping all your followers every time you publish your blog.

Auto Social Poster – Ever wondered what would it be to be able to post a link to your latest post on the social bookmarks with the most traffic? If you want to kickstart your blog promotion probably it’s one of the best way to do it. With this plugin you’ll be able to post to a bunch of social bookmarks at the same time and get you some relevant backlinks to get your website quickly indexed by Google.
