Matt Cutts Pokes Fun at Keyword Stuffer

July 29, 2007

Crying about Google ignoring your keyword stuffed web pages just gives Matt Cutts and the rest of the SEO world something to gleefully mock.

Note: Naughty tricks aimed at gaming the search engines usually backfire as search companies catch on and make adjustments. There’s always someone willing to try something like keyword stuffing. Has that person ever been you (before you knew better, of course)?

It’s a conspiracy, man. The Google hierarchy doesn’t want you to know how to become immortal. It’s totally true, you can read it on the Internet, you just can’t find it through Google, see?

Yeah, we see what you did there, or at least Matt did. Some people will still try old tricks to get noticed by the search engine. Matt highlighted one website whose owner offers the key to immortality (magnetic rings) and one of the more entertaining keyword stuffing examples you’ll see today.

“‘Internal vaginal aphrodisia doping hardware?’ Huh? And what does a ‘plasma tv advanced chart’ have to do with immortality?” he asked upon reviewing the source of a page from the site. That page had a small textarea at the bottom, and viewing the page source revealed its bizarre contents.

It’s one of the oldest games in the questionable tactics book, one that Google prefers webmasters to avoid. Keyword stuffing brings searchers to a page that has no benefit for them.

Such disappointment tends to be vented at the search engine for bringing up a non-relevant page. The typical Internet user has no idea what keyword stuffing is or where to find it on a web page.

If you must indulge in stuffing, stick to the tasty side dish variety. Bread cubes, chicken broth, country sausage, slivered almonds, chopped apple, diced sweet onion, sage, and poultry seasoning will make you a happier person without risking a banning from Google.

‘Directory Submitter’ Review — Software Gets You Tons Of Quality 1 Way Links

July 2, 2007

You may or may not know that Website Directory Submission is a very popular and easy way to get quality, one way links to your website.

These kinds of links are exactly what the search engines are looking for. The websites with more quality, one way links typically rank the highest, period.

With that said, there are several website directory submission programs on the market. The best and easiest to use is a new program created by Brad Callen, called Directory Submitter.

The software currently contains around 1700 website directories, all free. It is the most straight forward program that we’ve come across, in that all you need to do is:

1. Input your website details (i.e. title, description, URL, etc.) into the software

2. Click on the directory you want to submit to

And then the program will automatically fill in your website details. Then, you simply click the submit button and your website is instantly submitted to the directory. Then, you can move to the next directory, go through the list, and by the time you’re finished you’ll have roughly 1500 one way links pointing to your website.

It is a very easy way to get links. Of course, if you’re going to get links this quickly, it’s important to vary your website title (anchor text) every 20-30 links or so, to make things look more natural to the search engines.

You can do this very easily via Directory Submitter when you create your project in the beginning.

The software is constantly being updated and an incredible community of users has been established, that works together to make the software better and better, so you know you’re getting great value for the money.
