Here is a email I just received:

Psst…

You asked us to tell you about µTorrent Mac developments.

help us make it better by contributing to the conversation in the forums
(forum.utorrent.com).

Here is a fact: Go Daddy doesn’t advertise its godaddy toll free number on the godaddy.com contact page. But they do have one. it is not 1-800 number but 1-866 number : 1-866-GO-DADDY or 1-866-463-2339. Save yourselves  a long distance call

Google Up - Yahoo Down

It seems like I’m out of Google’s Sandbox- yey! Google placed me at #30 having http://www.rdezine.com/blog/ as the landing page, MSN have me at #27 but Yahoo dropped me to #6…and what about Ask you ask? More than a month passed and they still didn’t update the listing….

I didn’t build any links since the 20th as I said I’ll do but I’ll add them now. The time is passing, the winter is already here and I really hope I’ll have the chance to meet the Baltimore SEO Meet group again.

Sandbox

Here is an update:

2 days after Google included / updated its indexing and placed RDezine.com on the 12th page, Google change the indexed page to this blog and place it on page 8th. The main domain, the index page, disappeared….

Ask.com did not updated its indexing yet and it is almost a month (it will be in 2 days). Yahoo.com and MSN.com are with no change.

My next stage will be to build 5 links every other day, without changing the content of RDezine.com main index. The only dynamic part will be this blog.

By the time I reach to the holy grail I’ll be in Israel , far away from Baltimore. Perhaps I should focus on “Tel Aviv SEO” instead of “baltimore seo”…

RDzine.com

Last week I started the RDezine.com experiment. Until now I worked on other companies’ websites and never actually took the time to work on my own. In mid October I decided to optimized my site’s meta tags and keywords and to fix few links that didn’t work. I also added some “nofollow”s to the portfolio section but I did not work on sculpting because most of my pages were not crawled. My website is out there for about 5 years and has been changed once a year. It is listed on DMOZ and few other directories that copies DMOZ or WHOIS information but no other websites. So here are some of my changes:

• change of title
• change of pages file name
• add link navigation separated from my Flash one
• created meta tags for each page
• change in content (“New York City”==>”Baltimore”)
• applied for editorial changes on DMOZ
• creating this blog as a folder (soon I’ll add it as a sub domain)
• move domain registrar from yahoo business to godaddy

Here is what happened when i use “seo baltimore” search phrase:

• On Google, I spent almost a month in Google’s Sandbox until last night: page 12
• On MSN I started on the 4th page from the posting date and move to the 3rd couple of days after
• On Yahoo I started on the 3rd position on the 1st page just couple of days from posting
• On Ask it is still outdated (almost a month…)

to be continued….

Right Click?

It is really helpful and productive to use Windows XP on your Mac. I installed Windows XP on my MacBook OS X 10.5.5 using Parallels and Boot Camp – I love it (performance a bit slow, so if anyone have any idea…). Anyway, I wasted about 20 minutes to figure out how to right click in Windows XP running on Mac OS X using Parallels. Finally i found it: well you know that Ctrl + click on OS X = right click on Windows, so when running Windows in Parallels use Shift + Ctrl + click .

Baltimore SEO Meetup group

I’ve joined the SEO Meet Up group in Baltimore, Maryland last week and attended a meeting about link building. Each one had to share a tool or a tip to the group. I didn’t know what was the knowledge spectrum so i created a slide show that covers the main factors in link quality. It seemed as if everyone knew most of the information , but beside old plain facts, I’ve shared few facts that I’ve experienced regarding internal PR and PR sculpting.

here is a link to my presentation: SEO Rudy Dallal Link Building

this is my second blog (I dumped my first one after one post…), and I hope I’ll stick to writing it. After spending few months in Israel, getting married, going on a honeymoon, doing Aliya, I started catching up with what i missed in the past year. My wife and I moved to Baltimore after 2 years in New York and we are planing to get to Israel by the end of the year.
