Bloggers and various webmasters who owe websites know how important generating backlinks for their websites is. The more websites you have the better ranking you get in SERPs. I am sure I just don’t need to emphasize more on this.

Here I will teach you how to generate backlinks for your website by using a white hat method.

All you have to do is edit the domain given below:

www.aboutus.org/www.domain.com

Now replace that domain.com with your site’s domain. Copy that final domain in your address bar and hit enter. Now wait as the page generates backlinks for you.

Similarly you can edit another domain:

www.whois.domaintools.com/www.domain.com

Again, remember to change domain.com to your site’s domain. Copy paste the final domain address to your address bar and wait for the site to develop backlinks.

Example:

If I want to generate links for my relationship management site www.theSenorita.com from aboutus.org then I will copy and paste www.aboutus.org/www.theSenorita.com in my address bar.

Although it won’t help you to get the number one position in SERPs but something is always better than nothing.

You can perform the same trick for:

www.cubestat.com/www.domain.com

Although these sites will check your page some day or the other but why wait for them to check your site when you can do it yourself?

If you got more such sites then do leave that in comments. I would love to add them to this list.

It was end of January when I wrote two articles in three days about two different SEO plugins for firefox. KGen is the simplest plugin which helps you learn about the keyword density for a particular website. On the other hand SearchStatus is a much better plugin which helps you learn about the Google PR, alexa rank, compete rank etc for a website.

Today we talk about another dashing Firefox plugin which could well be considered as the superset of the above plugins although SearchStatus nowhere seems to lag behind it.

SeoQuake is a Mozilla Firefox extension aimed primarily at helping web masters who deal with search engine optimization and internet promotion of web sites. Seoquake allows to obtain and investigate many important SEO parameters of the internet project under study on the fly, save them for future work, compare them with the results, obtained for other, competitive, projects.

Warning! Extension is using the advertisement block in results of search engines. Please, read Privacy Policy, before install.

Day before yesterday I wrote about a firefox plugin which helps you find some keyword’s strength whenever you visit a website. It is a cool plugin which shows the keyword strength in the same fashion as a search engine will see it while it crawls the website.

I had started to use the plugin when I stumbled on another SEO plugin SearchStatus which will show you Google PageRank, Alexa rank and Compete ranking anywhere in your browser, along with fast keyword density analyser, keyword/nofollow highlighting, backward/related links, Alexa info.

The number of functions which this tiny plugin does are awesome and all those who want to be good at SEO should give it a try.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is an important criterion which everyone, who runs a website, MUST consider to improve the site’s ranking on Search Engine Result Pages (SERP.) You wont master SEO in 1 day or in 1 week. It is the continuous process which makes you an SEO expert. You need to open your eyes to every website and look at those websites as an expert.

This is the time when SEO plugins for firefox come into scene. If you are still hanging with Internet Explorer then that is your problem. Start using firefox today and install the below mentioned plugin.

KGen is a firefox plugin which informs to you the strength of a keyword on a particular website. Once you install this plugin and visit a website then the plugin will measure the strength of the keywords on basis of the area in which it lies. Like if the keyword is found in the heading then it has more value when compared to the keyword in the article. You can use this plugin for keyword searching and to know which keyword is important and which isn’t.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is buzz word for anyone who has its own blog/website. And while searching SEO related content online one tends get stumbled upon words which you hear for the first time sometimes! SEOmoz recently published a huge list of many such SEO jargon which you will read every now and then. I read through the list and compiled some of the few very interesting, and unheard ones, which you must read if you plan NOT to read through the complete list.

• alt text A description of a graphic (within the img tag), which usually isn’t displayed to the end user, unless the graphic is undeliverable, or a browser is used that doesn’t display graphics. Alt text is important because search engines can’t tell one picture from another. Alt text is the one place where it is acceptable for the spider to get different content than the human user, but only because the alt text is accessible to the user, and when properly used is an accurate description of the associated picture. Special web browsers for visually challenged people rely on the alt text to make the content of graphics accessible to the users.
• anchor text The user visible text of a link. Search engines use anchor text to indicate the relevancy of the referring site and of the link to the content on the landing page. Ideally all three will share some keywords in common.
• astroturfing (the opposite of full disclosure) attempting to advance a commercial or political agenda while pretending to be an impartial grassroots participant in a social group. Participating in a user forum with the secret purpose of branding, customer recruitment, or public relations.
• bread crumbs Web site navigation in a horizontal bar above the main content which helps the user to understand where they are on the site and how to get back to the root areas.
• cloak The practice of delivering different content to the search engine spider than that seen by the human users. This Black Hat tactic is frowned upon by the search engines and caries a virtual death penalty of the site/domain being banned from the search engine results.
• doorway (gateway) A web page that is designed specifically to attract traffic from a search engine. A doorway page which redirects users (but not spiders) to another site or page is implementing cloaking.
• gizmo (gadget, widget) small applications used on web pages to provide specific functions such as a hit counter or IP address display. Gizmos can make good link bait.
• Google bomb The combined effort of multiple webmasters to change the Google search results usually for humorous effect. The keywords “miserable failure” - George Bush, and “greatest living American” - Steven Colbert Google bombs are famous examples.
• Google bowling Maliciously trying to lower a sites rank by sending it links from the “bad neighborhood” - Kind of like yelling “Good luck with that infection!” to your buddy as you get off the school bus - there is some controversy as to if this works or is just an SEO urban myth.
• keyword cannibalization The excessive reuse of the same keyword on too many web pages within the same site. This practice makes it difficult for the users and the search engines to determine which page is most relevant for the keyword.
• link condom Any of several methods used to avoid passing link love to another page, or to avoid possible detrimental results of endorsing a bad site by way of an outgoing link, or to discourage link spam in user generated content.
• inkerati Internet users who are the most productive targets of linkbait. The Linkerati includes - social taggers, forum posters, resource maintainers, bloggers and other content creators, etc - who are most likely to create incoming links or link generating traffic (in the case of social networkers).
• mashup A web page which consists primarily of single purpose software and other small programs (gizmos and gadgets) or possibly links to such programs. Mashups are quick and easy content to produce and are often popular with users, and can make good link bait. Tool collection pages are sometimes mashups.
• organic link organic links are those that are published only because the webmaster considers them to add value for users.
• sandbox There has been debate and speculation that Google puts all new sites into a “sandbox,” preventing them from ranking well for anything until a set period of time has passed. The existence or exact behavior of the sandbox is not universally accepted among SEOs.
• sock puppet an online identity used to either hide a persons real identity or to establish multiple user profiles.
• stickiness Mitigation of bounce rate. Website changes that entice users to stay on the site longer, and view more pages improve the sites “stickiness”.
• toolbar pagerank (PR) a value between 0 and 10 assigned by the Google algorithm, which quantifies page importance and is not the same as pagerank. Toolbar Pagerank is only updated a few times a year, and is not a reliable indicator of current status.
• walled garden a group of pages which link to each other, but are not linked to by any other pages. A walled garden can still be indexed if it is included in a sitemap, but it will probably have very low pagerank.

This was a summary of jargon which you might face while working to improve your search engine ranking. To see the complete list go to SEOmoz.
