15 Tactics to Explode Your Web Presence and Link Popularity

Posted by David Wiltshire on November, 29th 2008

Link building is one of the most important factors in developing a strong web presence and building a solid flow of traffic. Most readers should understand that that effective link building adds value to your site and boosts your rankings in the search engines for target keywords.

However most people over look the other benefits of link building and tend to focus far too much on just gaining search engine rankings.

By putting all your eggs in the search engines basket if they decide to alter their algorithm which has a negative impact on your rankings then your sales and profit will be decrease significantly.

The answer is to build a solid web presence and to spread your traffic streams across as many locations as possible, a sort of spread betting. When [...]

10 Reasons Why Digg Is Digging Its Own Grave

Posted by David Wiltshire on November, 28th 2008

1. No matter how many times you blog it, Digg is not a fair democracy. Bigger sites, that already have more visitors and who post a ‘Digg’ icon after a post will get far more votes than a site of lesser traffic. Their story also carries more weight and people are more likely to vote it up like sheep anyway. It is a popularity contest.

2. People are being banned left right and centre for pedantic little reasons, e.g.DotmySpot.

3. You get next to no benefit of submitting someone else’s article.

4. Traffic is good, but Digg traffic often crashes the site or sends the bandwidth bill through the roof (not on blogger blog as they are free). I am not offering possible solutions, just highlighting the problems.

5. You cannot prevent an article of yours being submitted by someone else. This wouldn’t usually matter, but if you wrote an article a year ago [...]
