Make Those Image Hotlinkers Give You Backlinks!
April 28, 2008 by DazzlinDonna · 11 Comments
Ever get tired of people stealing your bandwidth because they hotlink your images? I used to have Myspacer’s sucking my bandwidth dry because their pages got so much traffic, and they were using my images for their backgrounds, etc. There are several ways of dealing with this issue, one of which is showing a different image to them than they bargained for, but there’s a new widget script available now that is even better – it gets the thieving hotlinkers to give you a backlink! Woot!

May I suggest some new Backlink acronyms?
July 7, 2007 by DazzlinDonna · 6 Comments
Because some people insist on arguing semantics rather than substance, might I be allowed to suggest some new acronyms that we could all use when referring to backlinks? Just as PR was once just “PR” but later needed to have TB added to it (as in TBPR), I think we now need to categorize backlinks (BL) in the following ways:
Google backlink update – Google loses backlinks
March 21, 2007 by DazzlinDonna · Comments Off
Just a quick tidbit here. Google is currently updating backlinks, which have not yet propagated to all DCs. The tidbit is that Google lost quite a few backlinks in this update, going from 1,750,000 to 1,480,000 reported links. Yahoo also lost some, going from 1,990,000 to 1,780,000. MSN, on the other hand, gained considerably, going from 1,130,000 links to 1,440,000 links, inching closer to both Google and Yahoo.

Know when you get ‘em, know when you lose ‘em
I ran across an SEO tool script yesterday that looked useful, so I was going to blog about it and link to it. That’s how I usually deal with SEO tools that I test. I just link to them. But this time, thinking some of you might be cheapskates like I am, I bought the resell rights to it, so I could just offer it to you here at half the price. Granted, the script isn’t expensive to begin with, but hey, half price is half price, right?

eKstreme has a cool new tool that runs through a site’s backlinks, and then profiles their geolocation. This backlink geolocation tool can help pinpoint why some sites do well in country-specific searches (think competitive analysis here). Nice one, eKstreme.

Aaron Wall (seobook) has updated his Backlink Analyzer tool. If you haven’t tried it yet, you should. First of all, it is free, and free is always a good thing.
Can scraper sites hurt us now?
June 5, 2006 by DazzlinDonna · 4 Comments
About a year or so ago, there were some discussions regarding whether or not scrapers could be hurting legitimate sites’ rankings. One such thread is here and blog posts are here and here. Even the Washington Post got a word in. It seems as though the main consensus was that scrapers would not hurt you in the rankings, although different people had different opinions.
