Search engine optimization-Themed sites

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

One of the growing theories of SEO is that you are more likely to rank well if you have a substantial amount of pages on a similar theme. ie a niche topic blog will probably rank higher than a general one that covers many topics. Build a blog with over 200 pages of content on the same theme and you’ll increase your chances of ranking well as SEs will see you as an authority on the topic. The take home advice here is to keep to some kind of a topic/niche/theme for your blog. It is also probably another argument for categories and tagging posts that relate together strongly.

Yahoo! Rejects Microsoft Offer

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

Yahoo’s decision is out. According to Yahoo! “After careful evaluation, the Board believes that Microsoft’s proposal substantially undervalues Yahoo! including our global brand, large worldwide audience, significant recent investments in advertising platforms and future growth prospects, free cash flow and earnings potential, as well as our substantial unconsolidated investments.” Some Yahoo! shareholders do not agree with this assessment though and think that the $31-a-share bid is actually generous.

With no Yahoo! stocks to think about though, what’s clear is that we can start focusing on our SEO projects again and stop obsessing about the possible Yahoo!-MSN merger and its effect on the search scene. If you feel like dissecting the might-have-beens though all you need is to Google (^_^) any variation of the Yahoo!-MSN merger to find opinions all over the blogosphere.
