Reclaiming Links From Sites That Have Shut Down
May 16th, 2010Often when I’m doing competitive analysis, researching niche directories or reviewing industry related “round-up” articles, I’ll come across a few dead links.

First, visit Yahoo Site Explorer and enter the URL of the abandoned domain into the field labeled Explore URL.

Is SEO Necessary For New Business Owners Anymore?
March 27th, 2010I came across a forum post on DMOZ quite some time ago with a new business owner asking if SEO is necessary anymore. Why this person was asking for this type of advice from DMOZ, I have no idea, but one of the forum moderators chimed in stating that SEO was not necessary. He said that hard quality work is all it takes and that utilizing meta tags is pointless. This is all the “advice” he provided. There really is a lot more to SEO than meta tags.
I do agree that doing hard quality work is very important and is what really counts when building your website, but although meta tags are an extremely small part of SEO, they can still provide value.
