Comments Off on AGLOCO encourages click fraud. Watch out ASK.com Advertisers

Comments Off on Buying Text Link Ads. How to improve the user experience and improve your search engine rankings at the same time.
With Matt Cutts trying to destroy the paid link market it’s apparent that there is a good way to buy text link ads and a “bad” way from Google’s perspectative. I find it pretty frustrating that Google feels it necessary to use back channels like Matt Cutt’s personal blog to disseminate information about their main product, namely their search engine.

Press releases are a great way to build incoming one way links. They are also a way to get the press and blogs writing about your product or site. Of course most web marketers know next to nothing about how to write a press release or even how to interact with journalists.
