Content, Quality, Activity, Speed, Links

Word going around the SEO Grapevine is that the numero uno search engine (if you don’t know who’s that, you are not supposed to read this ) who, it was believed by all and sundry, gave value only to Links, is now factoring in the below as well:

• Download Speed – how soon is your page dished out

• Site Activity – meaning how long visitors linger on the page and probably also how often you update it (am updating this post after every carriage return )

• Content, Quality – PLR down down! CopyScape, do you have an affiliate system? Readers, do you want original, quality articles? Come to me… I always believed content is king!

Hey! Don’t just go away. Please linger on a bit… The post was very short? I don’t go blah blah, only to the point – capsules. Aw, common! I want you to increase my site activity. Move the mouse around; point to something, anything – I do put in tool tips occasionally

There! I got a surprise for you below the fold.

You dirty mind! Were you expecting some lingerie pics for lingering on?

Parking is strictly no no

Through March 2010, it was seen that most of the parked pages, even if they were keyword rich domain names, have slowly vanished from the search engines.

Just a month back, in February, many parked pages (of well known networks) were found even on the 1st ten SERPs, but not anymore. So, dear entrepreneurs, please spare time for your well thought out business (domain) names and go the development route. At the very least, set up a one page blog and just jot down some notes about the topic that the business name represents.

Cheers!
