"ROFLOL! That’s what was written about you on the bathroom wall Sire! Hey John, Thanks for adding me onto your list. I normally tell people “I’m Hot” but, being cool is ok. Heck, I’m just happy not to be on the list of whacky ones! Sheryl Loch´s last blog ..Clearing Up a Link Diversity MisConception" - Sheryl Loch

I think that link diversity is a very important thing to work on, because the whole point to getting in good with Google is having links that look natural. So having all of your incoming links sitting on other site's link exchange page is going to send up a flag to Google that you are participating in unnatural link building and possibly cost your site valuable positioning in SERPs. Whereas if you have a good mixture of dofollow, nofollow, keyword anchored, no keyword anchored, social media, etc. links, it will look genuine. ~ Kristi Recently (12/18/09) Kikolani wrote Fetching Friday - Resources, Snuggies for Dogs & the Week in Review.

That reader could well have been me. I remember entering sweetener as the answer and for a moment could't work out why it was wrong. Recently (12/17/09) Sire wrote Of Gary Vaynerchuk And His Belief That You Can Cash In On Your Passion. Check it out! - Sheryl Loch

"Hi Kristi, I was lucky when I only ran b2evo blogs because many of the auto spam posters only searched Wordpress. Now, they also search b2 blogs. I still have the fact that the b2 script plug in for comment luv is named something else so, I avoid those searches. I have moderated comments on most of our blogs, but 1 blog is just open with no time limits, another blog has no comments allowed. So, it just depends on the topic how I set the comments. Like Brian said it is normally the older post that get all the garbage. I even went as far as Blacklisting Blogspot & that really cut down my spam comments. It’s sad that real people that run at blogspot can’t leave their link but, the bad outweighed the good. Sheryl Loch´s last blog ..Clearing Up a Link Diversity MisConception" - Sheryl Loch

@Ned, It is funny in a way but also sad that so many people have been misinformed. I think that many people have heard that it is not beneficial to get all your links from 1 site & they take that to mean only 1 link per domain. Yet, like is pointed out in the video if a site wants to link to different pages of your site then it is great. @Bill, I agree that you need all types of links from different domains & site types. Some people tend to only do bookmarking sites, forums, or blogs. When it is much better to have all those types of sites giving you links. ;-) @Heinrich, I spent far to long getting confused by 'not so expert expert'. I had my head spinning until I just picked a few & found I got results from their advise. I was proven right...it doesn't always happen that way. @Sire, I have not seen a comment from you until this one. Then again, I had a reader that could not remember that Sugar was sweet so, I took off the captche & got slammed with HUNDREDS of comments. Actually, I... - Sheryl Loch

OK Sheryl, tell me I'm not losing my mind. I'm sure I left a comment on this post. Did it get mixed up in the spam filter or am I imagining things. I think I prefer the spam filter. Recently (12/15/09) Sire wrote Update On Probloggers And Commenting. Check it out! - Sheryl Loch

Thanks for the informative post and video. There are far to many "SEO experts" out there that do not know what they are talking about. Glad that your views were proven. - Sheryl Loch

Hi Sheryl Thanks for the excellent post. It is extremely important to make sure that you use images correctly and get the most benefit out of it. The information that you have supplied is valuable and will definately make my life a lot easier. Thanks a mil. - Sheryl Loch

Love Whiteboard Friday. Good resource. We think link diversity is a best practice. Get links from one end of the spectrum to the other. An unnatural link profile is a red flag, though that doesn't mean a death sentence for the site. - Sheryl Loch

So, you manually ping (using Pingler or another service) the permalink from forums and blogs where you are leaving backlinks? This seems to be a lot of work to get the backlinks indexed quicker, I comment on many blogs and forums throughout my work week (and weekends!) Another question would be: What direct affect for your SEO does this have? Does it help get better SERP rankings? Recently (12/07/09) Keith @ Superior Fence Products wrote Vinyl Vs Wood Fencing.

>talking to someone about is Link Diversity. The other person told me I was wrong Why would they think you are wrong? It just amazes me how many people get Google wrong when they are pretty clear why they rank sites highly. It's nice to see someone authoritative vindicate your point of view.

"Robert, we will arrange for your blog rehab. It may not seem as glorious as the celebrity rehab, but it is necessary. You'll know when the intervention is happening because someone will have taken the power cord to your computer." - Sheryl Loch

"Sire, I am a bit confused as to how to answer this. I don’t think me commenting on other blogs really hurts MY blog to much. It might hurt the blog I am commenting on. I guess it could hurt MY blog to comment on others because not everyone likes my sense of humor. That could frighten them away. I will add that I do not always rely on Blog commenting to get out & about. There are a few forums that I am pretty active on. Still interacting just on a different script.

"I missed the part where they said I had to take steps…can’t they make shoes that just wearing them gives you a better butt? Maybe I should send Brad over to see this. He might be willing to go buy me some of these shoes. I mean he is the one that sees my butt… My theory is that it is behind me & I can’t see it so it’s fine. Oh well, if he doesn’t go get me some of these no big deal. I only put shoes on about 1 time a year so, doubt they would do me much good.

"Hey Brian, You are the only person I have seen talking about this program. That in a way is a good thing. As you may know I am a huge Market Samurai fan. That is the tool I use the most for my keyword research. I’m not sure what they have you use at The Keyword Academy. I’m betting that my Samurai could be used. Right now I am waiting to see about another program that is starting in January. If I am one of the very very lucky & get into that, I will be busy for a couple of months. If I don’t get in then I will take a look at TKA. I would not want to be rushed on a trial. That would not be fair to the program, you, or myself.

"I can honestly say I am bummed out! I only ranked a 74%. I know they are testing out giving kids with ADHD marijuana & I am thinking that if they decide to give that to people with Blogging Addiction, I should get my score up. Hmmm, would a stoner blog more? Would they be more creative? Or would all the cookie crumbs clog their keyboard & they would just give up? I guess the government will have to do a multi billion dollar study on blog addiction. ps: I do not do drugs but, just wondering if it would improve my blogging." - Sheryl Loch

"I am so glad that you got snow for YooHoo to play in. Our little dog Zoie will not even go out in the rain & shivers if it’s under 60 degrees. Our old boy, Zed, will play in the snow if he can dig but gets cold easily also. See, even our dogs are warm weather wimps. LOL! Now go throw some snowballs for YooHoo.

"Hi John, I am not thrilled with it. I do think it has been more personalized than many have thought for a long time. It causes a problem with searchers finding new sites. If they normally go to certain sites for a type of info will they get stuck always seeing those same ones or will they get results for sites they may have never been to? It makes it really hard to see where you sit in the SERP’s if checking your incoming keyword phrases from analytics. Not sure how we will know who our competition is. We know we get differnt results depending on where you live but, now it will depend on where you “normally” go. Our B2evo blogs show the SERP position of the the incoming search from the user so, that gives me an idea of where they found me on their search page results. G did announce yesterday that they were rolling out Real time results so, that could possibly help out us that have not always been found by searchers. The real time will be showing updates from a few social sites. That..." - Sheryl Loch

"I am having a hard time believing that she chased you down. I am sure you were running away really fast *insert sarcastic tone*. When my kids were little I loved the pillow blankets. It was so easy to take them to a friends house, use in the car, or just have them on the couch. And regular blankets really need to come back to the couch. If I see one more stupid Snuggy ad I will vomit." - Sheryl Loch

"Hi Kristi, you’ve got allot of great points there. I think that even people that have blogged a long time still have those times when they consider just quitting. It may not even have anything to do with not getting results, I think that sometimes I just get bored. That is normally when I have spent to much time reading other blogs & I feel like it’s all been said or done. My personal blog is far down on the list of sites I keep up so, it is the one that I normally think about taking down. But, then someone ask something & I have to have somewhere to post the answer. LOL! I think sometimes we try to think to hard about what to write, so get out of your chair, go to the mall, have a night out…look at something other than a blank word doc. Like John said, there are to many people that I only know because of my blog. Sheryl Loch´s last blog ..How we do Team Work as a Family" - Sheryl Loch

I previously registered with Live Search, authenticated, etc. Do I have to register again for Bing? I ask because the name of the XML authentication file that Bing provides is the same name as the one provided for Live Search. Do I overwrite the Live Search XML authentication file with the Bing XML authentication file? Thanks, Dan Recently (11/27/09) Daniel Noll wrote Thanksgiving in Bolivia, MacGyver* in the Kitchen.

Sire, Yes we are all close enough together to talk, see each other...Just not so close that we can slap each other. ;-) Using Skype is the easiest way to send word docs or entire files. Since Brad, Cait, and I all file things differently on our computers, we each get our own "copy" that we can easily get to on our own machine. I can also send Cait a link to an article that might be useful and she can pick it up when she gets online...We live on Skype. Hi Mitch! Cait doesn't want to sell burgers and french fries. She works on task with Brad and I both and will be much more rounded in her abilities. She has also gotten to see our mistakes and won't have to make the same ones. @Spacetime, I sure could never get things done as well on my own. I am so artistically challenged that none of my sites would have anything but, standard themes and buttons. Onna! No you can't have Brad... Well, someday's I would give him away but, only until I needed him to do something for me. 8) I am glad he can... - Sheryl Loch
