e_Marketing Blog Squidoo New Look Squidoo seems to have a new edit and publish interface. I've always found it a bit clunky in the past, but now it seems quite a bit easier to add modules. The process makes more sense to me. I just created a lense about Car Repair for a client. WiMAX for Portland WiMAX service will soon be available in Portland, Oregon. What is WiMAX? It is a wireless alternative to cable or DSL. For a number of years this technology has promised to revolutionize the delivery of "last mile" service connecting homes and offices to internet access points. But these days the focus is more on mobile applications that make it a viable alternative to standard cell phone services. The provider of this service in Portland will be Clearwire, a company formed through joint cooperation of Sprint, Clearwire, Google, Intel, Comcast, and Time Warner. WiMAX will not be significantly cheaper than the alternatives, but it does promise to offer greater potential for merging disparate services such as internet, cell phone, Voip and cable tv. SmartyPig Social Saving Here's an interesting idea. SmartyPig.com is like an online piggy bank with a social twist. You create an account where you set a specific savings goal. Say you want to save for a new computer. You need $1,000. You create an account and then let your friends and family know what you're saving for. They can make contributions (or not). You can contribute to their accounts too. SmartyPig also has partnered with "top retailers" to offer you deals and cash incentives. It's free and you can even earn interest on your deposits. |

Mar 19, 2006 - Linknet Internet News Why Submitting to Search Engines is a Waste of Time Mar 19, 2006 - Linknet Internet News - by Rick HendershotHere is why search engine submission is a waste of time: 1. Search engines index pages because they find them by following links. The more links that point to your page the faster your page will get indexed. Theoretically, to get your site indexed, you only need one inbound link from a site that itself regularly gets spidered. == Advertise to Targeted Buyers - earn up to 75% of revenues == 2. "Submitting" your pages to search engines does not remove the necessity to be linked from somewhere. If there are no links pointing to your site, chances are, submission will not help. 3. Constant re-submission does not help. Yes, it's true that the major search engines regularly re-crawl sites, but they don't want to waste their energy on your site if there is nothing new for them to find. What helps is regular updating of your pages and getting more links. As the search engines learn that your pages are worth spidering (because your pages regularly change and contain useful content), they will get crawled more often. 4. When your site is "submitted" to "thousands of search engines and web directories", you have to give out your email address and it immediately gets put on a list of suckers who can be spammed mercilessly. This alone is good reason not to submit your site. == Forex and Futures Trades - 95% Winning - 100% Rebate Offer == If you want to get your site indexed, you need links pointing at your site. One way is to submit your site to a few website directories or linking services that you know will trigger the search engines to visit your site. Contrary to popular opinion, link exchange programs are usually not a good way to get the search engines looking at your site. Many webmasters try to get a valuable link in exchange for a value-less one. More often than not they will put your link on a relatively useless page that the search engines ignore. A more efficient way is to buy quality links from a service like Linknet Promotions. Usually the links you buy from a link service are on decent pages and are much more likely to get the attention of the search engines. Buying a listing in a unique service like the Linknet "Business Webs" blog will get you in a blog that gets crawled on a regular basis (every day). This blog is also syndicated on more than 35 high quality, already indexed pages. So one link gets multiplied into more than 35. These links are virtually guaranteed to get you the kind of action you are looking for. I have seen it happen hundreds of times. Rick Hendershot is president of Linknet Promotions Inc.
