Second tier anchoring
I am kind of unhappy with recent changes in SEO. Google penalties are looming, building links is becoming a synomous with spam and anchor text is evil and will get you in trouble.
How in the world you are supposed to rank?

How to deal with a new domain
This scenario is so typical that I want to deal with it once and for all in this post. I see so many people are approaching it in a wrong way. At least once per week someone comes to our link building service site and asks what they need to do to rank their website for these two or three keywords. When I launch Market Samurai and put their keywords and their domain in SEO competition module I see something like this.

This is a follow up to the previous post.
Fresh off the press. Recent twit by Matt Cutts.
An important webmaster video today: “Should I disallow crawling of all of my site’s JavaScript files?” goo.gl/1YnbI

The question is, when was the last time Matt said his video is important?

The story of a dropped website
This is the continuation of the previous post about Google+ conspiracy where we established that Google is a company of hippie-engineers with a vision of turning the world in a wonderful places where we are all connected via live stream Google+ hangouts. I promised to tell you about the most important and the most neglected component of SEO. If you guessed it’s your website, you are absolutely right.

Google Conspiracy
I’d like to address one issue today. The issue of Google Conspiracy.
Before you go “what the hell this dude is talking about, just give me a shortcut to the page one”, be sure I’ll cover every single shortcut I know in these emails but bear with me for a second because, if you are into SEO you are going to play on Google’s playground and, if you understand how this company works and what their motivation is, you’ll be two steps ahead of everybody else in the game.

Authorship tagging for fun and profit
If you’ve ever used Google (if you haven’t, close this page now and go back to screwing around on Facebook), you’ve seen that sometimes they show a funny mugshot of a sorry blogger right under their lousy post about Penguin recovery. You might even tried to do it yourself following Google’s instructions. They’ve made it so easy to do now that it is almost a crime not to take advantage of it. Some overly righteous zealots even condemned it as an “authorship spam”. All right, we are going to do some “authorship spam” now.
The reason I am using authorship tags on almost all important sites now is, I believe, it increases the trustworthiness and authority of the domain in the eyes of Google. With Penguin punishing low authority, “over-optimised” sites left and right, I’ll take any chances to improve my position.
