Don’t follow that! dofollow this instead.

Just because one Search Engine implements a new value for the relationship attribute of anchor elements doesn’t mean you have to refer to the norm as something else based of the new value.

.

But hey, as long as we’re inventing new HTML Attribute Values and making up buzzwords, I have a few more I’d like to add to the list:

Badfollow = an OBL’s value telling Google that the page it’s linking to is awful and absolutely SUCKS!

Example = <a href=”http://forums.digitalpoint.com/” rel=”badfollow”>Digital Point Forums</a>

NoText = This is a brand new HTML style Attribute Value added to various text elements (ie: <p>, <h1>, etc.) you use to tell the browser you don’t want the text to be displayed anywhere in any fashion. It will look something like this:

<p style=”notext”>This is some Text.</p>

Which will output this:

.

Perfect to use for Text you don’t want to show anyone who visits the Page! Even Search Engines will ignore this Element now!

Superlink = a new link descriptor that takes you to another web page and then brings you back to the original page almost instantaneously. It’ll be like you never left the first page to begin with!

Just add “super” to the target attribute, like so:

<a href=”http://www.lightningshock.com” target=”super”>Greatest Website Ever</a>

.

These new Values are going to be a MUST for any SEO, new or experienced, or any webmaster for that matter, who wishes to code and market their site properly!

Why are Search Engines a bad source of traffic to Market for?

This is the average reaction from a rank checker:

Rankings fluctuate, thus rendering rank checking a useless practice. Besides, they don’t always mean targeted traffic and conversion rates (which are (or should be) the most common goals for commercialized websites).

Google uses many datacenters to return search results to end users. Plus, Google’s (along with every other major Search Engine’s) algorithm is ever-changing, so, factors level themselves out. For example, one day, Google may place a heavy importance on the date the post was created, then the next day, word count becomes a major factor. It’s impossible to tell what portion gives weight in accordance to others. So then you’ll ask something like this:

BUUT James, How else AM I suppozed too Get Traffic LOL?!?!

Pretend that the Search Engines do NOT exist!

Don’t believe me? Just imagine for a moment Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask, or all the other search engines have never existed. Pretend that it is 1993, the web is just beginning to explode on the internet. Many possibilities await you (Not to mention all the tools you have at your disposal in the present). Some immediate examples include:

• Community Partaking = Some places, such as discussion forums, allow you to interact with similar-minded people. If you constantly give worthy advice, people will want to hear what you have to say (on your own site).
• Word-of-Mouth = If you have something interesting, why not let others do the marketing for you?
• Direct Traffic = If you have a good website, and people have already seen it once, chances are they’ll bookmark it and return to read or interact with it again and again.

This is the mind set you have to have if you want to market your website properly.

OK, they didn’t “really” offer me that much money for my blog, in fact they haven’t even made me an offer on my website.

I figured I had to make my first April Fools Blog Post a good one

I do wonder what Google’s April Fools Day jokes will be about this year. They’ve had some pretty good ones in the past, like GoogleGulp and PigeonRank. Hopefully, this year they’ll have a classic.

Anyways, Happy April Fools Day everyone

Finally, a new currency classification for webmasters eager to get their web pages evaluated and marketed. This system is much simpler than Google’s Toolbar PR formula. It only contains four levels of Shock Ranking, here are the factors:

SR0 – This Page absolutely sucks! It probably wasn’t even created by a human. Or I just haven’t decided to calculate it yet. It could be either one.

SR1 – This page is OK. It may have some design flaws, or only a few paragraphs of great content.There are always ways you could improve your website.

SR2 – This is the a great page. It can’t get much better. I’m all for these types of styles, content, etc. These are some of the best pages available on the web today.

SR3 – The most certainly, positively highest rank any page can ever get. It has the same criteria as an SR2 page, but the biggest difference is that it contains a link pointing to lightningshock.com or one of it’s internal pages. Pages already pointing to this site are already qualified to be classified as an SR3 page, Congratulations!

That’s pretty much it. No silly weighted link calculations, no number of other links on the particular page, etc. ShockRank is an absolutely revolutionary idea.

Want to know what your page’s SR is? Comment below, and I’ll calculate your new SR for you (Only 3 URL’s max please, comments that do not follow these guidelines will not get evaluated.). And only one comment per year, I’m only one person here!

It seems to me that Big G will have a long way to go if they wish to reach the size and reach of Wikipedia. They are offering some innovative ideas, such as showing who wrote an article and reviewing current existing articles in the Knol’s archive.

However, I believe this will be the downfall of the project:

Knols will include strong community tools. People will be able to submit comments, questions, edits, additional content, and so on. Anyone will be able to rate a knol or write a review of it. Knols will also include references and links to additional information. At the discretion of the author, a knol may include ads. If an author chooses to include ads, Google will provide the author with substantial revenue share from the proceeds of those ads.

With the addition of comments on articles, no Google Moderation, and most of all ads, the Knol Project seems to me like it will be nothing more than an advanced Blog Content Management System.
