Where as, the others claim to be installed on all the Windows operating system like Win 95, 98, Millennium and XP. They are available at different costs depending on their features. In fact, you can get link popularity software for as low as $ 50. Though, with the additional features like reciprocal link generation, the software can cost you up to $125. The link popularity software can also be downloaded from the internet without any cost. But you should avoid this option as it increases virus threats to your system.

Banned by Google
by: Wim Hoogenraad
This time a very extreme idea in the Great New Website Ideas series. You may have noticed that Google can make or break a website. Their system is very powerful and decides what is good or bad for web surfer to see. There is a way to reverse the Google results and use it in a website. Maybe there is a young and ambitious web designer who can make a website that uses the findings in this article and work out a very successful search engine.
Good day, my name is Wim Hoogenraad and I am the founder of WebmastersLookup. In this article I will share another Great New Website Idea I had without having the time to build it.
The facts.
In a few years Google became the largest search engine and is used in more than 40% (comScore Media Metrix) of the searches on the Internet. To keep this position they must maintain strict rules for websites to enter their database. When the search results are kept clean then visitors will be back. That is why Google does not like adult websites or sites about casino’s to be mixed in the results. So they put a lot of effort in separating these websites from the normal website and they try to keep them out.
Google has an algorithm to calculate the position in the search results depending on the keywords and an algorithm to calculate the PageRank of a website. For commercial websites it is very important to have a high ranking and a whole new business called Search Engine Optimalization (SEO) offers services to get higher positions and higher PageRanks. A well known specialist in this field and a good friend of my is Kenneth Doyle from Australia (Certified SBI! Webmaster). He is connected to WebmastersLookup and his advice is always very useful to the site. Read more of him it in our SEO topic.
The problem.
The problem is that the algorithms that Google uses are secret. And even worse, they are changed from time to time. Now many people try to find out how the algorithms works and tell the world they know. Some of them even have success until the next Google dance, the repositioning of websites. This is very tricky business because you can change something to your site without knowing that Google has forbidden it. Maybe you have two urls with the same content: banned. Maybe you have a hidden link somewhere; banned. Maybe you have to many links to your site in a short time; banned. Maybe… you never know. One small mistake is enough, look at the BMW story. Do you think BMW ever intended to do something bad? Something similar happened to WebmastersLookup. Using the right keywords the site was #11 in the search results having PageRank 1. Overnight it got PageRank 4 but is nowhere to be found in the search results anymore. The strange thing is that WebmastersLookup is #3 in the search results of MSN using the same keywords. So never trust anyone how claims he can give your website a top 10 position in Google.
The future.
Lawrence Peter ‘Yogi’ Berna once said: “Prediction is very hard, especially when it involves the future.” Until now Internet is very open, anybody can place anything on the web and sent spam drives everybody mad. Sometimes violators are got, but most of the time they walk free. Will there be 2 Internets? One Internet for the good and nice users, controlled by Google or controlled by an Internet Police? And another Internet that is underground where all cyber crime is done? We do not hope this will happen. We wish everything to remain open and free so everybody can find everything they need.
The idea.
Well that was a long introduction for a simple new website idea. The main point is that everybody wants to be found in a free environment. Why not make a search engine where unfindable websites can be found. Let call it Elgoog, the opposite from Google. So when a web surfer can’t find what he or she is looking for in Google they have another chance in Elgoog. How does it work?
1. The webmasters submits his (unfindable) website to Elgoog.
2. Elgoog spiders the website and accepts all sites.
3. Every month the ‘Elgoog dance’ runs. The websites in the Elgoog database are looked up in Google. The number of links in Google are counted and placed in the database.
4. Visitors search for websites with keywords. The websites that match the keywords and have the least links get the highest position in Elgoog!
Of course Elgoog has the no-index and on-follow metatags, otherwise unwanted links will be created 
Commercial opportunities.
This just maybe a very popular website, advertisers maybe interested…
I think it’s a nice idea worth trying, we don’t have the time, who picks it up?

No matter how hard you work to optimize your page, there are going to be times when Google just can’t figure out which AdSense ad to deliver, so it defaults to delivering a PSA (Public Service Ad) instead.
Now I don’t have any problem with charities, but I give to the ones that I choose to give to. Since I don’t have a non-profit license of my own, the goal of my web site is to make money and I depend on Google AdSense revenues to help pay my bills. Someday I want it to fund my retirement as well, so I can’t afford to have non-revenue PSAs showing up on my site.

Writing articles is all the rage these days on the web. Or should I say getting other people to write articles for you, joining membership sites that provide “private label” rights — that is all the rage.
And the reason? You get all the benefits of a well-written article without the work! Someone has to write the articles of course, and if you have writing skills theres plenty of opportunity for you.

You’ve got a website. You’ve put countless hours into it, tweaking the look and feel and making sure all the links work. The bad news is there are a gazillion other websites out there. The good news is there are many things you can control to make sure your site isn’t lost in the morass of dot coms.
One of the most important is showing up in the search engines, and getting listed in the top 20 for your subject. This article covers the steps you can take within your site.

Press Release Primer
by: Lee Goins
Press releases have the potential to create incredible exposure. Looking beyond the linking benefits, a well written press release may land you in newspapers, TV, and radio. I write quick content daily for websites. When a good subject doesn’t come to mind, I turn to a news search engine for inspiration. Quite often the top results are press releases or news articles feeding from those press releases. Some of these releases inspire me; others are empty promotion with nothing of interest to me or my site visitors. Here are some tips on the making of a great press release.
Know your reader.
Balance between writing for the target audience (newspaper reader, radio listener, web surfer) and writing for an editor, reporter or journalist who may take up your subject or even reprint the story. Hooking both the media and the end consumer will result in a snowball of PR. Remember, a journalist scanning a PR source will make decisions based on the first few words of each article. Pack the opening with the hot topic points.
Style
A strong headline and intro is critical. It absolutely must capture the eye of someone skimming press releases and inspire further reading. Hit them with the news first. You can explain how and where it comes from later.
Keep it brief, accurate and readable. The media isn’t looking for full blown articles to copy, but may have use of some filler content or extra information within a report, column or website. Don’t exaggerate. If your PR is a success you will be getting phone calls and emails asking questions. It is possible to build or destroy credibility based on your accuracy. You may become a source for different reporters as you build on your record of knowledge and accuracy. If you use outside stats and facts, include the source. The press release should create confidence.
Grammar and spelling should be checked and rechecked. Read it; edit and re-read; print it out; read again; email to friends for corrections; give yourself many chances to catch mistakes. Then don’t rush to publish. Reading something again after a nights sleep is always an eye opener for me. Something about my focus during the writing process tunes out errors that jump off the page the next day. This is why an extra set of eyes, or waiting till your eyes are taking a fresh look can make a big difference in the writing quality. Printing a copy to read also helps you see it differently.
Attach images if the PR publisher allows it. If you have image rights or public domain images to publish then this is one more way to make your content usable by others. Permission regarding quotes is important as well within a press release since the exposure can be significant.
Anatomy of a Typical Press Release
Headline
Headlines should have a hook. Make people wonder where they stand or curious about an outcome. For example, "Are you a lunatic? Research may surprise you!"
Summary
Some PR publishers allow a summary after the Headline. This is a second chance to grab attention. Make it strong and to the point.
Date Instructions - capitals are often used
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FOR RELEASE BEFORE __/__/__
FOR RELEASE AFTER __/__/__
Contact Information
Make it as easy as possible to be contacted. You don’t want to even appear to be hiding. Reporters may work odd hours, so use a phone number you can answer day and night.
Body
Resist the temptation to tell it all.
Hit the high points in a few paragraphs under 350 words.
Make the reader want to visit your site or call your company for more details.
Pack the best parts in the beginning, inverted pyramid style. This makes for it easy if an editor needs to shorten it.
About Us
If you feel the need to include a couple sentences about the company, this is a good place to tag it on. "In business since___, a member of____, awards include___" or a brief company mission statement will work here as extra information.
End of Press Release
### is often used to signal the end of the press release. Anything after the ### is not published.
Be Newsworthy
Don’t kid yourself. You either have a great story or you don’t. Generic name spreading press releases are a waste of a reporters time. Don’t write something that reads like an advertisement. And don’t keep re-submitting the same press release. Surely something interesting happens with your company every month? If you don’t have a great story ready to tell the editors and journalists, then wait for one or develop a story.
Do all this well and you may be talking live on a local radio show, or answering the questions of a national journalist. The power of a great press release, when capitalized on, can rocket an enterprise to success.

What is the Google Sandbox Theory?
by: Brad Callen
Ok, so over the past month or so I’ve been collecting various search engine optimization questions from all of you. Today, I’m going to answer what was the most frequently asked question over the past month.
You guessed it… What is the Google Sandbox Theory and how do I escape it? When you finish reading this lesson, you’ll be an expert on the good ‘ole Google Sandbox Theory and you’ll know how to combat its effects. So, pay close attention. This is some very important stuff.
Before I start explaining what the Google Sandbox theory is, let me make a few things clear:
The Google Sandbox theory is just that, a theory, and is without official confirmations from Google or the benefit of years of observation.
The Google Sandbox theory has been floating around since summer 2004, and has only really gained steam after February 4, 2005 , after a major Google index update (something known as the old Google dance).
Without being able to verify the existence of a Sandbox, much less its features, it becomes very hard to devise strategies to combat its effects.
Almost everything that you will read on the Internet on the Google Sandbox theory is conjecture, pieced together from individual experiences and not from a widescale objective controlled experiment with hundreds of websites (something that would obviously help in determining the nature of the Sandbox, but is inherently impractical given the demand on resources).
Thus, as I’ll be discussing towards the end, it’s important that you focus on ·good’ search engine optimization techniques and not place too much emphasis on quick ·get-out-ofjail’ schemes which are, after all, only going to last until the next big Google update.
What is the Google Sandbox Theory?
There are several theories that attempt explain the Google Sandbox effect. Essentially, the problem is simple. Webmasters around the world began to notice that their new websites, optimized and chock full of inbound links, were not ranking well for their selected keywords.
In fact, the most common scenario to be reported was that after being listed in the SERPS (search engine results pages) for a couple of weeks, pages were either dropped from the index or ranked extremely low for their most important keywords.
This pattern was tracked down to websites that were created (by created I mean that their domain name was purchased and the website was registered) around March 2004. All websites created around or after March 2004 were said to be suffering from the Sandbox effect.
Some outliers escaped it completely, but webmasters on a broad scale had to deal with their websites ranking poorly even for terms for which they had optimized their websites to death.
Conspiracy theories grew exponentially after the February 2005 update, codenamed ·Allegra’ (how these updates are named I have no clue), when webmasters began seeing vastly fluctuating results and fortunes. Well-ranked websites were loosing their high SERPS positions, while previously low-ranking websites had gained ground to rank near the top for their keywords.
This was a major update to Google’s search engine algorithm, but what was interesting was the apparent ·exodus’ of websites from the Google Sandbox. This event gave the strongest evidence yet of the existence of a Google Sandbox, and allowed SEO experts to better understand what the Sandbox effect was about.
Possible explanations for the Google Sandbox Effect
A common explanation offered for the Google Sandbox effect is the ·Time Delay’ factor. Essentially, this theory suggests that Google releases websites from the Sandbox after a set period of time. Since many webmasters started feeling the effects of the Sandbox around March-April 2004 and a lot of those websites were ·released’ in the ·Allegra’ update, this ·website aging’ theory has gained a lot of ground.
However, I don’t find much truth in the ·Time Delay’ factor because by itself, it’s just an artificially imposed penalty on websites and does not improve relevancy (the Holy Grail for search engines). Since Google is the de facto leader of the search engine industry and is continuously making strides to improve relevancy in search results, tactics such as this do not fit in with what we know about Google.
Contrasting evidence from many websites has shown that some websites created before March 2004 were still not released from the Google Sandbox, whereas some websites created as late as July 2004 managed to escape the Google Sandbox effect during the ·Allegra’ update. Along with shattering the ·Time Delay’ theory, this also raises some interesting questions. This evidence has led some webmasters to suggest a ·link threshold’ theory; once a website has accumulated a certain amount of quantity/quality inbound links, it is released from the Sandbox.
While this might be closer to the truth, this cannot be all there is to it. There has been evidence of websites who have escaped the Google Sandbox effect without massive linkbuilding campaigns. In my opinion, link-popularity is definitely a factor in determining when a website is released from the Sandbox but there is one more caveat attached to it.
This concept is known as ·link-aging’. Basically, this theory states that websites are released from the Sandbox based on the ·age’ of their inbound links. While we only have limited data to analyze, this seems to be the most likely explanation for the Google Sandbox effect.
The link-ageing concept is something that confuses people, who usually consider that it is the website that has to age. While conceptually, a link to a website can only be as old as the website itself, yet if you have don’t have enough inbound links after one year, common experience has it that you will not be able to escape from the Google Sandbox. A quick hop around popular SEO forums (you do visit SEO forums, don’t you?) will lead you to hundreds of threads discussing various results · some websites were launched in July 2004 and escaped by December 2004. Others were stuck in the Sandbox even after the ·Allegra’ update.
How to find out if your website is sandboxed
Finding out if your website is ·Sandboxed’ is quite simple. If your website does not appear in any SERPS for your target list of keywords, or if your results are highly depressing (ranked somewhere on the 40 th page) even if you have lots of inbound links and almostperfect on-page optimization, then your website has been Sandboxed.
Issues such as the Google Sandbox theory tend to distract webmasters from the core ·good’ SEO practices and inadvertently push them towards black-hat or quick-fix techniques to exploit the search engine’s weaknesses. The problem with this approach is its short-sightedness. To explain what I’m talking about, let’s take a small detour and discuss search engine theory.
Understanding search engines
If you’re looking to do some SEO, it would help if you tried to understand what search engines are trying to do. Search engines want to present the most relevant information to their users. There are two problems in this · the inaccurate search terms that people use and the information glut that is the Internet. To counteract, search engines have developed increasingly complex algorithms to deduce relevancy of content for different search terms.
How does this help us?
Well, as long as you keep producing highly-targeted, quality content that is relevant to the subject of your website (and acquire natural inbound links from related websites), you will stand a good chance for ranking high in SERPS. It sounds ridiculously simple, and in this case, it is. As search engine algorithms evolve, they will continue to do their jobs better, thus becoming better at filtering out trash and presenting the most relevant content to their users.
While each search engine will have different methods of determining search engine placement (Google values inbound links quite a lot, while Yahoo has recently placed additional value on Title tags and domain names), in the end all search engines aim to achieve the same goal, and by aiming to fulfill that goal you will always be able to ensure that your website can achieve a good ranking.
Escaping the sandbox…
Now, from our discussion about the Sandbox theory above, you know that at best, the Google Sandbox is a filter on the search engine’s algorithm that has a dampening influence on websites. While most SEO experts will tell you that this effect decreases after a certain period of time, they mistakenly accord it to website aging, or basically, when the website is first spidered by Googlebot. Actually, the Sandbox does ·holds back’ new websites but more importantly, the effects reduce over time not on the basis of website aging, but on link aging.
This means that the time that you spend in the Google Sandbox is directly linked to when you start acquiring quality links for your website. Thus, if you do nothing, your website may not be released from the Google Sandbox.
However, if you keep your head down and keep up with a low-intensity, long-term link building plan and keep adding inbound links to your website, you will be released from the Google Sandbox after an indeterminate period of time (but within a year, probably six months). In other words, the filter will stop having such a massive effect on your website. As the ·Allegra’ update showed, websites that were constantly being optimized during the time that they were in the Sandbox began to rank quite high for targeted keywords after the Sandbox effect ended.
This and other observations of the Sandbox phenomenon · combined with an understanding of search engine philosophy · have lead me to pinpoint the following strategies for minimizing your website’s ·Sandboxed’ time.
SEO strategies to minimize your website’s “sandboxed” time
Despite what some SEO experts might tell you, you don’t need do anything different to escape from the Google Sandbox. In fact, if you follow the ·white hat’ rules of search engine optimization and work on the principles I’ve mentioned many times in this course, you’ll not only minimize your website’s Sandboxed time but you will also ensure that your website ranks in the top 10 for your target keywords. Here’s a list of SEO strategies you should make sure you use when starting out a new website:
Start promoting your website the moment you create your website, not when your website is ·ready’. Don’t make the mistake of waiting for your website to be ·perfect’. The motto is to get your product out on the market, as quickly as possible, and then worry about improving it. Otherwise, how will you ever start to make money?
Establish a low-intensity, long-term link building plan and follow it religiously. For example, you can set yourself a target of acquiring 20 links per week, or maybe even a target of contacting 10 link partners a day (of course, with SEO Elite, link building is a snap). This will ensure that as you build your website, you also start acquiring inbound links and those links will age properly · so that by the time your website exits the Sandbox you would have both a high quantity of inbound links and a thriving website.
Avoid black-hat techniques such as keyword stuffing or ·cloaking’. Google’s search algorithm evolves almost daily, and penalties for breaking the rules may keep you stuck in the Sandbox longer than usual.
Save your time by remembering the 20/80 rule: 80 percent of your optimization can be accomplished by just 20 percent of effort. After that, any tweaking left to be done is specific to current search engine tendencies and liable to become ineffective once a search engine updates its algorithm. Therefore don’t waste your time in optimizing for each and every search engine · just get the basics right and move on to the next page.
Remember, you should always optimize with the end-user in mind, not the search engines.
Like I mentioned earlier, search engines are continuously optimizing their algorithms in order to improve on the key criteria: relevancy. By ensuring that your website content is targeted on a particular keyword, and is judged as ·good’ content based on both on-page optimization (keyword density) and off-page factors (lots of quality inbound links), you will also guarantee that your website will keep ranking highly for your search terms no matter what changes are brought into a search engine’s algorithm, whether it’s a dampening factor a la Sandbox or any other quirk the search engine industry throws up in the future.
Have you taken a look at SEO Elite yet? If not… What’s stopping you?
Now, get out there and start smoking the search engines!
