Badges & Widgets Can Take Your Rankings to the Top!
Thursday, July 29th, 2010SEOmoz has mentioned it before in their link building videos that badges and widgets are a great way to get links, but can they really help you get to the top for very competitive terms? I believe so and have some proof to demonstrate it. Most badges I have seen are some type of image that is hyperlinked to the owner’s web site. I’m sure everyone would agree that there is some value in image links, but probably not a whole lot. The big question is how can you turn this into a phenomenal ranking boosting tool? It’s easy and I will show you how one company has been successful at it for a couple of years now. This article may create a lot of discussion, but the numbers speak for themselves. A normal badge would look something like this: The company I am using in my example is called Authorize.net. They are an Internet gateway service used by online stores for credit card processing. What they have done is created a badge merchants can place on their web site showing their customers that they are a valid merchant. The badge is called a verification seal. The difference in what they have done is they added a text link below their badge. I’m sure a lot of merchants are smart enough to remove this promotional code when they download it, but many do not. According to Open Site Explorer, over 10,000 root domain names have not done so.

How To Get Customer Reviews on Your Website
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010While UGC and Reviews can often be a mixed blessing , as long as Google continues to reward rich snippets with enhanced visual listings, it’s probably a good idea to try to make reviews part of your website strategy. For those of you who haven’t seen rich snippets and reviews in action, here’s a sample of what they currently look like To qualify for this program you have to have reviews, format your data using microformats , and submit your website for inclusion in the rich snippet program . While it may change in the future, currently you need to have site level approval, so let’s clear the hardest hurdle: getting the review data.

Advertising and Usability
Thursday, July 15th, 2010As the web matures and begins to displace, replace, or work with established news, information, and entertainment sources, the advertising that pays for this content to get created is going to change as well. When you combine this with the growth of smart phones like the blackberry , android , and iphone and appliances like the ipad , advertising will soon be faced with new obstacles.

The Loss of Privacy in An Opt-Out World
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010Anyone over the age of 30 who spends any amount of time online has to be aware of the gradual erosion of online privacy and how we are slowly moving to a point where our online life has become opted-in by default. … sacrifice your privacy on the altar faster than an Aztec Priest could ever rip out your still-beating heart … A disturbing trend among people in the valley and other technology centric locations is the subjugation or near-complete surrender of one’s work, one’s copyright, intellectual property, and sometimes complete self to the great computer singularity (a concept I am shamelessly stealing from Jaron Lanier ).
