Black Hat SEO tricks are getting trickier.
Or at least odder. In a post subtly titled “Why it is good to link to LZZR” LZZR suggests that it is advantageous for you to link to their site, and argues (rather ineloquently) an interesting technique to raise PR and and raise SERP placement. However, it seems that the idea is black hat (or at least grey) and more likely to cause trouble in the long run.
Linking should be mutually beneficial for both the linking site and the linked one and more these benefits must be obvious and immediate. For quite some time I’ve been thinking about a strategy that would realize these objectives and finally I think I came up with one –LZZR.com
LZZR then continues and suggests that by searching for blogs that link to you on websites like Bloglines or Technorati and then linking to those search results, (eg: My Technorati reactions page) you can boost your own PR by boosting the PR of the sites that link to you.
Fun with Google translator.
We have all seen those weird phrases that occur when you translate a normal sentence into several different languages through one of the many translation services, but this is different–slightly. I noticed from a tracback that a review (I think) of one of my plugins was posted in Japanese. Although I can stumble though some basic romanized Japanese, I can’t read Kanji or Kana, so I went over to Google to find out what it said….
This is part of the original text:
WPのダッシュボードは、自分好みにカスタマイズするには、wp-admin/index.php などを開いてコードを書き換える必要があります。 正直、そこまでしてカスタマイズしようとは思いませんでした。 しかし、管理画面から自由にカスタマイズできるのであれば、もちろん自分好みにカスタマイズしたいと思います
This is the text translated from Japanese to English:
The dashboard of WP, you customize in your own taste, opening wp-admin/index.php, and the like has the necessity to rewrite the cord/code. Honesty, doing to there, it will customize you did not think. But, if it can customize freely from the management picture, you would like to customize of course in your own taste.
Not a perfect translation, but understandable.
As I had hoped the SEO changes and the redesign have gotten me put back on Google, and Technorati finally realizes I update. It may not seem like much, but I have been off both since June or so of last year (although prior to that I had a good ranking in Google).
As an aside to the person who found my site on Google while searching for INAP help: If you need help with a plugin, post in the comments. I try to answer within the day.
