Still Alive!

It's been a few weeks since I have been available to post. I have been hunkered down working on new strategies and features for DM Web Directory.

Hopefully with in the next few months I will have everything together and be able to implement everything. As always I am trying to improve this resource for you and the end user.

Thanks,
Daniel :)

Google 411 Service

Google does it again and releases a FREE 411 service. All you have to do is dial 1-800-GOOG-411 and you can get any business telephone number for free.

Don't believe me?

Check it our for yourself...

Google Webmaster Tools

If you have checked your Google Webmaster Tools today then you have noticed another great upgrade to their system.

Click on "Statistics" then "Top search queries" and you will see a new format. Your top keywords are listed from most hits to the least hits. Each keyword is given a percentage depending on how many times it was clicked in relation to your entire Google keyword list.

This is an awesome tool to help you determine what keywords bring you the most traffic from Google. The image has been altered because I can't give away all my secrets :)

Wednesday Fun Day Post

This is not something that I normally do but I thought I would mix it up a bit and see what happens. Click on the picture and check out the poll if you don't mind something a little edgy.





You can use the image above as long as no changes are made.

Live Support

In a effort to better service the visitors and customers of DM Web Directory when have now integrated Live Support.

If you look in the "SUBMIT" resource box on the upper right hand corner of most web pages you will see the image below.



All you have to do is click on the button and you will be able to speak with my editor Janel or myself, Daniel. If no one is available the button will say OFFLINE and if one of us are available it will say ONLINE.

This is just one more improvement as we strive to better serve you.

Thanks,

Yahoo Revised Backlinks Update

Check your Yahoo backlinks.

As of a couple days ago Yahoo started discounting many backlinks to all websites when you use the "site:www.yourwebsite.com" function.

Personally I could not be happier. To me all the site results from Yahoo were garbage. You could try to check the backlinks of a competing website in Yahoo and see maybe 100k results.

Now out of the 100k results 90k of the incoming links would be from the same damn website. All these webmasters were doing is getting site wide links from websites. This is a tactic to try and trick the search engines into believing they really had more backlinks than they actually do.

It looks like Yahoo is following in Google's foot steps in cleaning up their algorithm. Some webmasters have seen devastating effects of this in the search engine position results and others have risen to the top.

Every website that I have personally worked on for the last 4 months has risen to the top 10 if not 5 for it's main keyword phrase. I can attribute this to only building high QUALITY backlinks not quantity. The honest truth is that 95% of my backlinks come from trusted strong directories.
