Why Use Myblogguest.com To Guest Post
( The Best Web Hosting Service)- While there is recent news of paid private blog networks being canned by Google because of the latest panda update, there are still much more ways to speed up and carry yourself up the Google rankings. One such thing is doing a guest post. Apparently, this still (as far as this very moment is concerned) is a safe way to do SEO (whitehat).
Guest blogging revolves in doing guest posts in a guest blogging community, and in this case, Myblogguest.com is a good one to start with. MyBlogGuest.com is started by a smart woman named Ann Smarty (well, obvious with her last name). This community was inspired by how she found guest posts to be beneficial in the online blogging world. She has realized how effective this is for going up the search engines.
Before, people would just find a good ranking blog, and request that he/she makes a guest post in it. This thing is a tiresome task, and to be approved to write a guest post, the website owner must feel that he/she will also get benefit from you, and not only you will be getting the benefit. Now, with MyBlogGuest.com, it will be easier to find the most suitable and good ranking site to post your guest post on. It has a script feature that ranks users on his/her influence as well as backlinks. Seeing this, you can look for those who are playing in front of the line, and then it will be easier for them to approve your post because they also see your ranking based on the script.
How to maximize this community’s potential? In order to utilize posting guest posts on My Blog Guest, it would be beneficial for you to find a blog that has a higher ranking than you, has more influence than you, and is getting more traffic than you do. It would also be better if that site already has some loyal readers that will surely go visit the blog and see your guest post.
A question might come into your mind, “What if people use this service only for themselves?” Fortunately, My Blog Guest has its own rules on doing the guest blogging. Its main objective is to mutually benefit each other, while keeping everyone safe. Once someone tries to do something against the rules or to harm other bloggers, he/she will first be warned and later on banned from the network. My Blog Guest also does not tolerate spammers, as it is definitely serious in helping its members grow. All users also have a panel where they can interact with other members. This is mostly utilized for promotion and requests for blog posts.
Apparently, given that it is still safe to do guest posts, and it is a healthy way of doing SEO, this can still stay longer regardless the freight the panda updates have been giving us these past year. I personally believe there’s nothing wrong with doing the guest posts, and given that this service is free, Google will not see it as an enemy, and will mostly likely let it stay.
So, just had problems with blog networks? Do some guest posts in MyBlogGuest.com.
Why Private Blog Networks Are Bad For SEO
( The Best Web Hosting Service)- Just some months ago, people were getting crazy on posting on blog networks in order to optimize their sites for search engines. And for those months (even years), people were benefiting from these private blog networks. However, just this March 24, 2012, it has been a fact that private blog networks will no longer be good for SEO.
Yes, the newest Panda update comes rolling out now. Apparently, those websites of low quality will be highly affected. And these low quality websites were apparently making it high on previous updates because of joining private blog networks.
One of the biggest private blog network affected is the BuildMyRank (BMR) site. From its March 19 post, BMR admitted that it already had majority of its network deindexed by Google and decided to discontinue its operation. BMR has been an established company and already resulted in successful website owners. However, due to the new algorithm of the Panda update, Google has blocked the blog network’s way of creating incoming links to blog posts.
This update is not only limited to BMR, as this is also the same with all private blog networks. Blog networks work the same way. Sites that are in the network all help each other to create backlinks on different sites. Previously, this would help you go up in rankings, but for some reason, Google has already created a way to find the pattern and stop it, thereby lowering the rankings of the sites, and worse, deindexing them from the results page. And once a site gets deindexed, and you’re linked to it, then you’ll also feel the sting or be affected by it. You’ll soon lose your ranking too. And there goes the cycle.
That’s probably the reason why BMR decided to stop its operation. Cause it can no longer find a way to recover at this rate. All backlinks were provided randomly, and the deindexing by the panda update will be faster than the BMR’s ability to remove links and posts from getting crawled on.
It’s basically understandable why Google made this move. With blog networks, you pay for the service, making this entirely a paid way of indexing your site. While this may not be entirely a bad move or even a black hat technique, Google hates those who pay to move up rankings. They want to monopolize the industry by getting their own services to optimize your site for their own search engines.
So if you want to survive this update, and the frightening incoming panda updates, you may want to go back to basics. Keep your SEO as white as you can, with quality content, and without employing the service of a paid private blog network. While it might be a hassle thing to do, you should go back to the slow but surely way of moving up the ranks, well, until a new technique comes. But for now, focus on your visitors instead. Don’t risk your chances to staying on top of the search engines. Apparently, you can no longer fool Google with these private blog networks. And who knows, the next panda update can affect a much different field of SEO.
GoDaddy Auctions – Buying And Selling Domains
( The Best Web Hosting Service)- Being the largest domain registrar in today’s world, GoDaddy also hosts one of the biggest domain marketplaces in the interwebs. This comes in the form of an auction, thus called GoDaddy Auctions. I do NOT recommend GoDaddy for web hosting but domains names are fine with GoDaddy. To see why I don’t recommend GoDaddy for web hosting please see this GoDaddy review.
There are a lot of domaineers who earn through buy and sell in GoDaddy, and there are also lots of webmasters who made their riches buying those marketable domain names through the GoDaddy Auctions.
In order to participate in the auctions, you will have to have a GoDaddy account. You can opt to pay a membership fee if you’re going to be always there, but can also get a free membership if you’re just using the closeouts.
Now, after logging in to your GoDaddy account, click the Auctions tab, and you’ll see the marketplace.
You’ll see featured domains being auctioned, and mostly they are auctioned because they were to expire soon enough, meaning they were already registered in GoDaddy, and these auctions can last 10 days. Starting price for any domain name would be $12, and apart from this, you would be able to see some data on how many are bidding at the domain at the current moment, what is the current bid, how many people views the domain, the GoDaddy valuation and the remaining time for the auction. Just note that the valuation is just an opinion, and this would not be the actual price the bid will close.
These things apply for most of the auctioned domain names. But if you don’t want to go through this and would want to buy a domain name straighthand, you can check the Closeouts section. Again, this doesn’t require any membership fee if you’ll be buying from this section.
Closesouts are expiring names that didn’t get bids or interest after getting auctioned for 10 days. There will be an extended 5-day auction for them, where the names would be priced at $11 for 24 hours. The next day, it will be moved to $10 and will stay like that for another 24 hours. On the third day, it will be priced $9, then $8 on the fourth day, and then down to $5 on the fifth day. Anyone can buy these domains buy clicking on the Buy Now option.
Remember, you are just paying the right for the domain name with these bids. Since they are expiring domains, you will have to pay to renew them for another year, on top of what you paid for the bid.
There are some tools to help you look for suitable domain names, and one is advanced search. You can search by expiration date, by price, or by extensions.
You can also sell your domains through the GoDaddy Auctions. You can list it as a Buy It Now which means it can be bought for a fixed price. Or you can list it as an Offer/Counter offer, where people will place offers for it. Another would be the Offer/Counter offer with a buy it now, meaning they can offer and they can buy it if it is agreeable to your price. Or you can place the domain in the 7-day auction listing.
So that’s basically how GoDaddy Auctions work. Many people rely on this section of the GoDaddy marketplace to find the best domain names. You can, too. Just be sure to be wise and find strategies to be able to get the best out of it.

GoDaddy Domains – Fine By Me
( The Best Web Hosting Service)- A lot of people would be surprised that I do actually support buying domain names through GoDaddy, but that is where I draw the line. In order to find out why I don’t host with GoDaddy please view my GoDaddy review here. Despite there CEO Bob Parsons who clearly is an ego driven lunatic, who likes to kill elephants(no I am not making that up) there are couple reasons on why I feel GoDaddy domains are the cream of the crop.
For one they are dirt cheap. I have seen them listed for far cheaper than some respectable web hosting companies such as InMotion which charges 9.99 a year (however you can get the domain free if you agree to use there web hosting for a year, which I do recommend. However, if you are a webmaster and are going to operate a number of websites I just feel it is so much easier to have all your domains with the same company.
You can simply login to GoDaddy’s (kind of wonky) control panel and change you DNS to point to your servers. Note it will generally take about 24-48 hours to propagate over. Also, note that for VPS (virtual private servers) and dedicated servers it seems to take far less time to propagate over (generally 12-24 hours as long as your servers are configured correctly).
Now back to why you should purchase all your domains from one company. Simply this reason; that if you mix and match your domains with web hosting you do run the risk of forgetting to renew your domain name and jeopardizing your domain name. Granted, nearly every company does have a “auto renew” option it is just a good habit to get into. Imagine the ramifications of forgetting to renew your domain names and losing all your hard work from a silly mistake.
So just to clear things up because I have talked to a lot of different webmasters over the years and I do support buying domain names from GoDaddy. I would just recommend that you host elsewhere.
CAPTCHA and Cutting down Spam on Your Site
( The Best Web Hosting Service)- Are you irritated from never-ending messages to your e-mail account sent by someone you didn’t even know, or are you fed up with advertisement that seems to come up from nowhere to your website? Well, 100% of the people who have their own e-mail address and websites had once suffered or have still been suffering because of spam. Spam can be considered as unsolicited messages sent in your e-mail or unwanted commercial advertisements on your website. Spams are generated by bots, a computer system that randomly sends those useless messages or advertisements to your site.
There are different types of spam. The most common is the message spam in e-mails and the news group and forum spam wherein the spammers post the same comments all over again to different discussions. When you sign in to a suspicious or unsecured website like forums and news group, you give bot programs a chance to obtain your e-mail address and send spam messages. You have to be careful though, as even though some spam look harmless because of their nonsense nature, they are usually actually very harmful to your accounts and computer too.
Nowadays, different websites like Yahoo and Google are using CAPTCHA. It is a program that helps cut down spam on your website and e-mail. “Completely Automated Public Turing-test to tell Computers and Humans Apart”, is used to prevent bots from retrieving your e-mail upon the signing up process in a certain website. It works by giving a challenge to someone who wants to gain access by a simple CAPTCHA question or a challenge (might be a simple question or math problem) to ensure that it is generated by a person.
Have you noticed the rumbled letters and unusual words below the sign up or log in form in certain websites? Those are CAPTCHA questions that will ensure that the user who wants to gain access is a human and not a computer. Computers cannot decipher words and images that are distorted, only humans can do. Computer researches have already been working on audio CAPTCHA for visually-impaired persons.
There are tips to prevent spamming in your website. Use a different e-mail address instead of using your personal e-mail address in logging in or signing in an unsecured website. Avoid displaying your personal e-mail in your website. If you need to put an email for contact information in your website, make sure you create one as a webmaster or administrator. Never try buying products from spamming websites because they will just send you tons of e-mails after you buy. If you have a website, make sure you also utilize CAPTCHA or at least require e-mail addresses before letting visitors post their comments in your website. As a webmaster, you have the right to ban spammers within your website. Do not reply in any spam messages. And why not trying a spam-cutting application to remove spam in your website? Most CMS, such as WordPress, also have plugins such as Akismet to filter spam comments.
As we all know, the internet is a very public and dangerous place right now. Privacy can be breached at any time, so keep your online presence and websites protected by all means. Your website is your own home in the WWW, so keep it safe.
