The deal is simple: Write an original Q/A or article for The Internet Search Engines FAQ and I will publish it on the web site, including links to the author's web sites. You don't have to limit yourself to the Q/A format, as I will soon be opening a new section of the web site for articles on SEO. However, Q/A's and articles should be reader focused. Articles should focus on the readers needs, not on your product or service. Of course, you can still mention your product or service liberally and talk about how it meets those reader's needs.
I am interested in writing articles for links As I understand it, you are looking for short articles explaining a specific aspect of SEO, right? I could write a short article about "Duplicate Content and SEO" if you are interested. Let me know what topics you are looking for.
That would be an excellent topic! Topics should be related to search engines and should not duplicate existing Q/A's. That's about it!
Here's something I put together today for a potential client... http://www.timesheetsmts.com/seo_applidyne.htm ... would that be suitable?
That is a much more difficult topic, for a couple of reasons. The first is that you are tackling the whole of SEO in one article. That's brave. The second is that, if you want the article to really bring you qualified leads, you have to write the article better (in some unique way) than the other authors who have previously tackled the topic. You might want to select a smaller or more unique scope.
Will, I beat you to the punch on this offer a couple of months ago. See this thread http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=427&highlight=fame+fortune
Compar: My scope is much more narrow that yours. My scope will put the articles in front of people who are interested in SEO. Good focused advertising for someone who does SEO professionally.
It would still be considered an archive, Bob. "a site containing a large number of files, possibly acquired over time, and often publicly accessible."
Here is my dictionary explanations for that word: ar·chive (är'kīv') n. 1. A place or collection containing records, documents, or other materials of historical interest. Often used in the plural: old land deeds in the municipal archives. 2. Computer Science. a. A long-term storage area, often on magnetic tape, for backup copies of files or for files that are no longer in active use. b. A file containing one or more files in compressed format for more efficient storage and transfer. 3. A repository for stored memories or information: the archive of the mind. On that basis I don't think my InfoPool is and archive. An archive to me is like a museum. Symantics is a bitch they say.
I am a big dummy. The good part of being a dummy is that you have so much potential. I don't know where I got the idea that I would get, or should expect to get, original articles. I must have been focusing on the original article I wrote for WebProNews. But even that article, I should submit elsewhere. Bob, I have added both parts of Google PageRank, & How to Get It to my SEO Articles section. I modified your author bio in the footer to include a link to Computer Partners. Is this good? If not, I change it. nohaber, I added links to your SEO Forum and your LinksAssistant package to the FAQ. Can I also replicate some of your posted articles in the FAQ's "SEO Articles" section? I have also added a form for submitting articles on the FAQ site.
then your favorite search engine, google, would be defining it wrong... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=define+archive
Compar, I just saw your post today (1/10/2005) - is the offer still good? Do you care if I write about something near and dear to my heart - life insurance information Thanks,
