Come and say hello!

Addon domains are great!

I am not sure i should admit to this but, i have just worked out (with the help of sitepoint) that addon domains and unlimited domain hosting actually do what i want them to do.

Before this week i have been forwarding all my different domain names to sub directories on my host. This has been producing all sorts of issues with SEO(due to framing etc...) I was about to purchase a reseller account, but thought i would post a quick note on sitepoint asking if there was any way around the problem i was having... It turns out that all this time I have been using addon domains i have been doing it wrong...

Oh well you live and learn.

addon domains work a treat.

New look for wellrooted.

Last week it was pointed out to me that the SEO on my pagerank experiment site (wellrooted)needed some work.. See comments on the previous thread...

I am not really a coder so i had to do some looking around to work out what to do. I think the site looks better as a result. No more tables!

Lets hope google finally finds it... Why is google so slow to update listings these days?
Here are the latest backlink stats

Busy Week,

I have had a very busy week submitting all my sites to a number of directory listing. I have been particularly concentrating on the network Hub site Chameleon Network and the wellrooted experiment, as these will both have links to all other network sites eventually.

I have found some really good resources for increasing PR and such that I will post here over the next couple of days.

Anything that can increase my serps is all good as organic traffic is good traffic!

Adsense on my forum was a complete flop as i guess most people are returning visitors. Maybe i will have more luck with some higher impact banner ads. I will continue with the experiment anyway :)

I am having real difficulty getting http://www.freestockphoto.eu to get anywhere in terms of search listings. I am going to work on the design and clean it up to make it a bit more seo. perhaps a nice html homepage would do the trick.

dmoz whoes

What has happened to dmoz? Is anyone else having problems submitting to dmoz?

I have heard that the best time to submit to them is when america is asleep, what I cannot work out is when america is actually asleep. I fugure that alot of webmasters work at night so perhaps the best time to submit is mid day?

Anyways there are other directories, shame they are not all PR9 but nevermind. :)

I had a busy day yesterday, i must have submitted the wellrooted experiment (see previous posts) to at least 25 page ranked link sites and directories.

I am keeping a detailed record of backlinks using a number of different link checking tools. The link summary will be provided by using "link popularity tool 3.02". Ive been using it for a while and it seems consistent.
