    Although many don't realize it, we are all automatically finding quality information by following links from other quality information.

    Each blogger can help by sharing their favorite sites with others, either here and on other social-networking sites or through posts like this one where one blogger reviews some of their favorites.

    From the page: " "12 of the most inspiring, helpful, and incredible blogs that you have never heard of, but probably should have."

    There are an estimated 15 to 30 million blogs owned in the United States alone. That's roughly one blog for every 20 people - not including blogs that have been discontinued or bloggers who own more than one blog.

    Of those millions of blogs, there are only a few hundred that could be considered great, let alone truly helpful. And of that handful of great blogs, only a small amount provide extremely useful content for their niche. But a lot of the time there are great blogs that get overlooked; blogs that provide helpful, useful, and inspirational content, but are lost among the crowd.

    Fortunately for you, I've spent the past several days compiling a list of 12 of the most inspiring, helpful, and incredible blogs that you have never heard of, but probably should have.

    Take some time to stop by each one, I guarantee you will like what you read."

  • [Video] An Example of What Not to do if Your Site Ranks...

    Rated Nov 04 2007 • 1 review • search, blogs, google, pagerank, organic search • seobook.com

    WOW - This is a MUST READ and MUST LISTEN post for more insights. Thank you Marty aimclearblog.com [aimclearblog.com] for sending this my way.

    The video mentions that a site that was making $1000 a day profit was mentioned on SEObook.com seobook.com [seobook.com] and lost organic placements and that income went away. (I do NOT know if this was a "good" or "bad" site - I mention it because it shows the power of Google and how they use it to intimidate people into not poking the 800 pound Gorilla they have grown into.)

    There are multiple other examples of sites that have been penalized by Google. We have a choice. We can allow Google to decide what businesses live or die OR we can stop giving them that power and decide what businesses and actions we will support.

    Google is not our Father and we are grown-ups now and I recommend we start acting like it. We don't need them - or anyone else - to "protect" us from ourselves.

    From the page: "talks about how many websites ranking for years got killed by a Google engineer within days of being mentioned on a popular SEO blog. - The Role of Editorial Decisions at Google in Determining Relevancy

    * Almost every commercial site ranking for a wide array of commercial terms is doing something outside Google's ever-changing webmaster guidelines. SEO guidelines are set up such that you are not allowed to rank for anything worth ranking for.
    * Dictating search relevancy is as much about mind control as it is about determining what is considered relevant."

  • The 2007 Weblog Awards

    Rated Nov 04 2007 • 4 reviews • blogs, best blogs • weblogawards.org

    I'm all in favor of recognizing quality wherever we find it. This is one of no doubt many ways to recognize bloggers who make a difference in your life. You can vote "once a day"? Interesting concept. Not sure if that makes it more accurate or less.

    From the page: "Voting for The 2007 Weblog Awards is now open. This is the master list of voting links that you can use this to navigate to the voting booths for each of the 49 categories. You can vote once a day in each category. Polls close November 8, 2007. Finalists can get hosted finalist badges here."

    Italy is trying to ban and tax Web sites and blogs. From the page: " Blogs And Websites Are Troublesome: Ban Them

    The proposed law (in Italy) states that anyone with a blog or a website has to register it with the ROC (Registro degli Operatori della Comunicazione), part of the Communications Authority, produce certificates, and pay a tax, even if they provide information online without any intention to make money.

  • Dear Google, I'm the Relationship Blogger | Liz Strauss...

    Rated Oct 29 2007 • 5 reviews • blogs, google, pagerank • successful-blog.com

    Here's a blogger with an entertaining style, unique point of view, and something to say.

    From the page: "Links and relationships are intertwined and inseparable to me. It's about people and connections that last.

    Did you misunderstand the SOB program after all of this time? Not all of these folks have all of the links you might expect, but they will, because they show the key traits of a successful blogger. I know they will because they write good content and they make good relationships."

    Rated Oct 29 2007 • 37 reviews • blogs, blogging tools • criticsrant.com

    When I worked for IBM and they first provided us with online communications (similar to email) on a system called PROFS it included a tool to measure this that I found entertaining.

    Not surprising: the tool says these blogs require a genius level of reader:

    Marty's aimclearblog.com [aimclearblog.com]
    Lyndon's cornwallseo.com [cornwallseo.com]


    We were not supposed to write beyond the seventh grade (or was it ninth? - my memory isn't what it once was) level.

    I thought this was amusing considering that most Sales, Marketing and Managers had Master's Degrees and even most Field Technicians (back then) had at least a B.A. or B.S. degree.

    I used to check just out of curiosity to see what words were "too big". I guess I've lost my touch. The tool says my blog is written at a college undergrad level - and I intentionally write much of what I post there for beginners.

  • Google Declares Jihad On Blog Link Farms

    Rated Oct 27 2007 • 6 reviews • search, blogs, google • techcrunch.com

    See what you get when you let computers make decisions? And you thought brilliant people who want freedom cause chaos?

    By now is is abundantly clear that there are two prominent ways of looking at outbound linking. Those who think links are for manipulating the search engines have, as a friend of mine would say, "lost the plot".

    Links are to help humans find what they're seeking online including other humans. Increasingly, they are used in large quantity so that generous bloggers can point us all to quality content and other brilliant bloggers.

    This is the future and I welcome it. When I worked at IBM and they were "down-sizing" people's lives we had a saying. "There is life after IBM." There is life after Google.

    Every company, government, person in our lives only has as much power over us as we allow them. While it may appear that the Googles and Microsofts of the world hold all the aces the truth is they need us far more than we need them.

    Heads up and fair warning, big companies. The days of being incompetent and steamrolling the little people are about over.

    From the page: "A major Google page rank update has punished large scale blog link farms and similar sites indulging in heavy cross linking by dramatically cutting their Google page rank scores.

    There is some suggestion that the changes may be related to the sale of text link ads, but at this stage this is not backed by evidence, and a range of sites I checked that are selling text link ads were showing no change in page rank.

    The only clear change appears to be among large scale blog networks and similar link farms, where each site in the network provides hundreds of outgoing links on each page of the blog to other blogs in the network, in some cases creating tens, even hundred of thousands of cross links. Previously such behavior has been rewarded by Google with high page rank, although it would now appear that this loop hole may now be shut."

    P.S. Links are NOT a loop hole!!! Paid links are PAID because whoever is paying for them believes they offer value in reaching their target audience. That value DOES NOT depend on Page Rank - it depends on audience - and audience lives independently from Google search.
