Hi! I'm running an SEO blog called searchengine-weblog.com and I'm looking for people who has done some SEO experiments. If you could write to me (PM) about your SEO experiment, and the results of that experiment, I could blog about it and I'll give you a permanent link from that blog post (as long as your anchor text is not pharma/adult/casino or similar sites). Btw, my SEO blog is a PR6.
Not sure if this was an experiment, but it is an interesting story i think. I created an SEO crossword puzzle a few weeks back. I made it mostly for fun. But it turned out to be a nice bit of link bait and generated 1000's of visitors in just a few days. Then I noticed that another site had copied the idea: www. webconfs. com/seo-crossword.php Your welcome to write about that story if you like. I'd be happy to provide with stats too.
I created a 100% dynamically generated website. All pages all links to pages were dynamic and all content, meta, everything - was dynamic. - I used mod-rewrite so i could actually link to any page - which would just load the same page with new content. everything was generated from random words in the DB. WEll - this skyrocketed traffic but my host made me remove the page because I was sucking too much of MySQL's juice on the server (randomizing thousands of records every page load is quite a big hit i guess, lol) Anyways, It's a good trick - but no one would even stay on the site because it's all garbage. - like a lorem ipsum generator. Google loved it though - it had 100% fresh content on every page - which linked to all new pages every single page... was this considered "Black Hat?" who knows - it was fun though!
If you can consider it an experiment, i got 224 hits in the 1st 4 days after my blog was created without being listed in search engines. Ok not much compared to the rest of other DP users but for me it was above expectations.
Mike of seo-blog, I like your experiment. I've blogged about it at http://www.searchengine-weblog.com/...nderscored_and_conjoined_keywords_in_urls.php
Nice linkbat. It noticed that it already has a PR5. I've made a schedule post on Aug 21. The URL is http://www.searchengine-weblog.com/50226711/seo_puzzle_game_used_as_a_linkbait.php
I made an experiment about the Seo Contest in the Philippines (Isulong SeoPh). I just want to try my Seo Knowledge. Since most of the frontrunners in that contest are all using Wordpress and I'm not yet too familiar with this, I decided to use Blogspot. And here are the results: In just 3 days it was already in Google Philippine's Index. In less than 3 weeks, it ranks no.1 in Google, Yahoo and Msn, but only with this keyword " Isulong seoph test experiment". But it is also on the first page of Google with these keywords; philippine seo experiment my seo experiment seo test experiment google's philippines And other keywords with the word "seo experiment" Visit my Blog for some screenshots of the results. And give me your thoughts about this experiment. I just have this one question; why I can't find my blog if I only use the keyword "isulong seoph"?
OK, I admit to being way too much of a geek for my own good at times, but even so, I was rather thrilled to see what happened with one of my sites. Having heard for ages that the SE's have a hard time ranking dynamic sites, I wanted to see for myself what would happen. Back in March, I bought a new domain and developed it using the Xoops content management system. The site contains over 500 pages of content, generated on the fly by the database and is dedicated to providing genealogy records for one particular area in Pennsylvania, so it's a pretty tight niche. Added a blog to the site and displayed the most recent blog entry on the site's front page. Sometime in the two weeks following the initial upload of the site, Google spidered it and grabbed a handful of pages for indexing - it showed up on Google at number 7 for its debut with keywords "chester county genealogy". Not too surprising as Google often seems to rank new sites pretty nicely when they first get listed. The trick is staying there and I'm convinced the secret there is having lots of GOOD content, preferably unique to your site. Shortly after, I created a site map and linked to it from the front page to help counter balance any issues the engines might have with the dynamic content. There are still are not that many back links to the site and it's been sitting at PR3 for awhile now, but it has remained in the top ten listings for all the major SE's from the very beginning and is currently number 2 on Google and number 1 on both Yahoo and MSN. Summing up, the key elements: a tight niche, lots of content, front page blog entry and a site map. Works for me! I've just recently added Adsense to some of the interior pages, so we'll see what happens. -Mary
NICE!!! I was wondering about this, even posted about it a while ago. What would be really interesting, is create several sites and randomize certain portions of them (main content, side bar, meta, title, footer, however you want to break it up) and see which do better. That is very interesting though, I always thought that a site with 100% uniquely randomized content would do very well... thank you VERY much for proving it. =) (btw, I don't know how you were doing your queries, but RAND in mysql seems very slow to me, if you can get mysql to cache a count query, just do $id = mt_rand(1,$count) and select * where id=$id. So you are pulling by primary ID # only. (Of course, if you literally had one word per row in mysql, it might be better to just write a php script to generate random letters and spaces, than pull it out of mysql.)
Wow! That crossword script is pretty cool. You got indexed on the text inside the JavaScript variables?
We are working on some onpage SEO experiment like LSI , after we get results i will sure publish in your blog.
