Great, yet another social network to join. ;) Quote: I just spotted the news of So.cl going live on Techmeme. This being a Sunday, I wasnt planning to work. However, I couldnt help but go in and play around. So heres a quick rundown on the social network with a triple-handicap: why use it instead of Facebook, instead of Google+ or instead of the new Bing that just added social features. Microsoft Launches Socl Social Network: A Look Inside (there is a dig at Mark Zuckerberg above this)

Ooooo this is good news. Quote: Twitter on Thursday gave privacy advocated a big win by announced a new “Do Not Track” setting that allows users to opt out of being tracked by Twitters platform. The plan was unveiled at an Internet Week panel in New York Thursday morning by chief technology officer for the Federal Trade Commission, Ed Felten. Twitter also revealed the new Do Not Track button, tweeting: “The Federal Trade Commission’s CTO, Ed Felten, just mentioned Twitter now supports Do Not Track. We applaud the FTC’s leadership on DNT.” Users can take advantage of the Do Not Track option using any browser that already support the option…

They trying to make you like Google+ by advertising it like crazy. Quote: Earlier this week, actor/Internet celebrity Wil Wheaton posted a pretty interesting rant about Google on his blog, and on his Tumblr. Specifically, it was about a feature he spotted on YouTube, which placed a Google+ like button in the spot where the YouTube thumbs up button would normally be. It would prompt users to upgrade to Google+ when not signed in. We asked Wheaton for some additional thoughts on the subject. He seemed somewhat eager to oblige, saying that this whole thing has struck a nerve. Continued at: http://www.webpronews.com/is-google-...hroats-201…

Pretty good read, great help to have better branding using your corporate facebook fanpage: Quote: For example, a post by a cruise line marketer (Facebook did not disclose which brands exactly were involved in the study) stating I decided to go on my first cruise because ____, performed better than one that said, Hang in there everybody. Monday will be over before we know it. Topics related to brand or about the brand were significant predictors of increased engagement, says Sean Bruich, head of measurement at Facebook. When pages post about topics related to brands, they increase engagement. The advice may seem obvious, but Bruich points out that many bra…

Google's algorithm has had another update, code-named Penguin. Why? Google's Spamfuhrer, Matt Cutts, explains in a blog post. Ahhh! To improve quality. Needn't have bothered reading that, need we? It is what he always says. What are the effects of Penguin on link-builders? Apparently: 1. Too much anchor-text optimisation will be discounted. If all of your inbound links have the anchor text, "real estate new york", then some of the link-juice will be discounted as unnatural. 2. Out-of-context links will be discounted. If you post on an SEO forum, but your sig-link says, "limo services chicago", then much of the link-juice will be discounted as unnatural. Will t…

Hey everybody, Thanks so much for taking the time to read my post. My website : http(colon)//bit.ly/Iu2pMI was recently (April 24th) tanked by Google. For 170 keywords I was dropped off the first 10 pages, while I was previously generally on the 2nd page, with about 20-30 terms appearing on the first page (and about 10 in #1). I am assuming this is because of my backlink profile, which I got from an SEO company that I used here on Freelancer. I do not know much about SEO, and could really use some help here. I was getting around 100-150 hits a day, and I haven't received a single one since the update. I am absolutely panicked and have no idea what to do now. …

History: I've been running a small website for about a year. For the first 6 months, I engaged several freelancers to help with SEO -- link building, submit to directories, article submissions, a few paid press releases, etc... none of this had anything more than a modest impact, and for the last 6 months I've done no SEO work, and few updates or content adds have been made to the site. For the last 2 months (almost exactly 1 year since my site launched) i've noticed an improvement in ranking and a 50% increase in traffic, and I have no idea why. I'm afraid to do anything in case I screw it up. Is it that the site has 'aged' enough for google now? Could the SEO free…

Well, I've been noticing that stupid threads my members are making are getting ranked better than the ones that are more informational or even topics are being ranked higher than the same keyword sections/forums. So, what I've been doing lately is 301 redirecting them to where I want them to be and their rank has stayed the same, if not improved! "But what about the thread you just redirected?" At least with my site, these threads only have a few posts in them and then they are dead for months. So, I noticed high bounce rates on them and 301'd, and now the bounce rates decreased by half. Here's the code you can use in your .htaccess (for FURL's): RewriteRule ^t…

1. Multiple indexes for the board. vBSEO had a nice option to make all of them forward to what you wanted. Right now I have /forums/, /forums/index, /forums/index.php, /forums/index.php?, and I believe there may be a few others like index.php/index or something, I forget what I've seen but it was disturbing. Has anyone created an htaccess file or a mod that would reconcile it to 1 URL? 2. Sitemap - which is the best site map to use? Someone mentioned Spanner's sitemap to me and said it will be the best one once they upgrade. They also mentioned communityseo's sitemap is terrible. And then I saw a paid one: icelabz.net/sitemap So I really don't know which one to …

There are some things that I miss with vBSEO that I was wondering if we can hard code them into our templates/files. I know I'm not very smart with this stuff so I hope someone is up to the challenge. 1. Relevant replacements - I think these were the best thing ever. 2. Virtual HTML Display 3. Clean up html Also, I really liked briansol's guide to setting up vBSEO and would like a similar format to the URL's that he set up (which is pretty similar to how vbseo's url's are now I believe). Just wondering if that's possible with IPB's FURL. Please note, I'm in the conversion process as we speak so I haven't had the time to check it out :/ Just figured I would…
