SEO by Kent

My biggest concern at the moment is Cuil. What’s the fuzz?

Is it a good search engine? Hardly.

How is it possible to raise that kind of money for a web service that is useless? Why is people so stupid, they try to be “the next Google”? I do not care if you crawl 1 billion sites, or 5 billion! It’s called quality, not quantity. Imagine all sites in the world. How many is relevant? We make websites relevant by optimizing it for keywords which people want’s to know about.

This article at TechCrunch really proves my point.
Stop showing your muscles for god’s sake!

What is really the future for blogging? I mean, the REAL future.

I really think blogs are here to stay but not in this shape as we see today. And of course, I really belive that Internet in itself will evolve in to something very different from today. That’s another story.

But the hardest part of today is to find interesting content. And to find blogs that will interest me. I’ll start something like a megablog sometime in a near future. I think these kind of portals will become huge in the future. We won’t browse through hundreds of blogs, we’ll browse through 10 of blog portals, or blog labels, as I will start call it.

Think of it as record label. Record labels are like a quality check before we see the daylight of music. Of course, this is long gone and is the stone age in the music industry. But is it wrong to think like this when it comes to blogs? I don’t think so. There will be a huge success if we could collect writers, with personalized blogs, and distribute them in a reallt nice way.

Okay, so we all think it’s easy to know what people search for? Right? No. It’s not. To optimize for good search queries we need to go beyond the screen and really think of; How do we use the language? Does people search for “video” or “film”? That’s one of my big questions at the moment. I don’t know what people search for. Of course I could use the fabulous keyword-thingy Google has made public. But does my potential customers really search for what’s most searched for on the internet?

Maybe I want to target those who search for the keywords with lower quantity? Because large quantities doesnt mean large sales. I’m always looking for quality in my work. I think it’s better to have one good position on the SERP that is really really relevant instead of having 10 thats irrelevant and will lead to as much sales as the really really good one.

This story is quite interesting. And I’ve been involved and helped with some linklove.

The story begins when Dan Nilsson, a swedish entrepenuer and e-retailer, finds out that UPS are using wierd methods for their imported package. They are supposed to register the tax Dan is supposed to pay. Dan realize this error and tries to get them to fix this. UPS then wants 71 swedish crowns (10USD) for each product in is shipment. And all this because UPS did wrong and probably does this to everyone. Because registering products in shipments is supposed to be quite time consuming.

This behaviour is outrageous.

That’s why other entrepeneurs with blogs around Sweden decided to start a campaign. We’re now trying to give his post as much linklove so that it will climb up the SERP and push UPS own pages down. I think we’ll manage. I hope.
