New Link Atrophy Diagnosis Tool
Hey folks, I am going to do my best to keep these SEO tools rolling out this week in advance of Pubcon Dallas, where I will be giving a solo session on advanced white hat techniques. The latest tool is a link atrophy diagnostic tool. Link Atrophy is the rate at which links you acquire disappear. If your site depends on links that quickly come and go, Google may not have ample time to index, identify and attribute links towards your PageRank and ultimately your authority. Considering growing beliefs among SEO’s that the longevity of a link’s presence increases its value to the target page, it becomes increasingly important that you rely on permanent link placements unlike some techniques (press releases, for example) that only generate temporary...
New PageRank Recovery Tool
Every little while we decide to release some of our internal goodies into the wild, and this is going to be one of those weeks. Hopefully, in advance of the upcoming PubCon South, where I will be speaking on “Advanced SEO Tactics for Hyper-Competitive Verticals“, we will be able to release a lot of these tools. The first tool that I would like to proudly announce is what we internally like to call the PageRank Recover Tool.

There are a lot of great tools out there to help you identify...

Poor Attempt at Cloaking: Exhibit #1
Generally speaking, if you are going to try to do geo-targeting via IP address, you might want to make sure something like this happens… Now this prime ranking position in Google is not only drawing the attention of Google’s spam team, but it is also keeping would-be subscribers from clicking on what appears to be a page specifically for Mountain View, California, home of “the Google”. Who knows, maybe it is a ploy to get Matt Cutts to buy DirecTV? No tags for this post.
Why the Top Diggers are Right
I understand that there is a lot of animosity towards the so-called Digging elite. Clearly some of them are marketers bent on pushing their own materials. However, certain top-Diggers have no financial interest but, rather, are the uber-fans and social-cornerstones of the popular site.

We first understand the new changes to the Digg algorithm to understand why the concerns are valid. While there is a certain black box aspect to the whole Digg promotional algorithm, Kevin Rose and others have indicated time and time...
