Have you heard about the recent Google algorithm update?
It was just recently when I’ve heard this rumor again from my SEO Buddies talking about the new Google Search Algorithms – the thing that I am keen enough to know about. I explore over Google Search and on Google Blogs to see if there is really an official statement from Google with this thing. Fortunately, I found some related contents but not expressly tackling about the new algorithm.
But today, two emails dropped in my inbox confirming the rumors about the new Google Search Algorithms. Without trepidation, I accept the facts as true since the senders were of reliable source.
So here it is, the Google Search Algorithms. The first one has been long thought before but just implemented recently. The second one is the Googles Focus on Local Search Results.
CONTEXTUAL LINKS
Especially it has to do with links and your content. It shocks me that it took Google this long to implement this change, but the fix is easy. Get contextual links.
Some search engine experts are saying that Google is now placing more “weight” on links found within the actual content of our sites/blogs (called contextual links) rather than links found in the navigation menu, footer, sidebar, etc.
What does this mean to us?
If you use content/articles to promote something on the web, get back links and traffic then NOW is the time to step it up and create MORE content or get back links in the content. Well, if you are relying heavily on paid links, blog comments, forum profiles, etc. you may have seen your rankings drop.
What we need to do?
Getting back links from high Page Rank and popular related content is the best way to get more profits because contextual linking is the practice of integrating links to the most significant pages within your website or on the other related websites. When linking within content to an important page, make sure that any links placed on the page are contextually relevant and have contain keyword-focused anchor text.
Article submission is also one of the best ways of this development. You can easily submit an article of 300 to 500 words. But to be on the safer side you need to insure that your site is set up on an exclusive IP. This method is easy and popular but it should be done very safely and properly.
LOCAL SEARCH RESULTS
Another change in Google Search algorithm is that Google now focuses on listing results that are local/regional and have office address and phone number through Google’s Local Business listing service at the top of their search results.
They made it easier for us to find local stores that sell the stuffs we are looking by adding information about product availability to the SERPs. This must be a strategy to focus on regional information that is more appropriate and helpful to users.
How to optimize for Googles Local Search?
To optimize for local search in Google, you should update first your online local business listings or if not yet engaged in any local listings then this gonna be the time to be listed in some interactive yellow pages.
The method requires that you first maintain your local business listing, followed by your initial update, and then you have to consider constant monitoring and managing the local business listing just like your website.
The listings will serves as the best support tool to your primary website to rank in local search. In order for you to show up in the search results you have to be sure the local business listing has all the right information about your business, services, and products.
To name a few websites asides from Bing, Yahoo and Google local listings: Local.com, Yelp.com, Merchant Circle, Citysearch and many others sites, search engines, social networks, 411 websites, GPS websites, and some business directories.
These changes were part of vast changes that Google undergone this year like the Google Instant, Speed Matters, etc. Luckily all have been for good reasons and may provide better search experience.

We all know that we need to build links to increase search engine authority and drive additional traffic to our sites. Here are three similar websites that allow fast link building and, in two cases, actually allow you to earn money off your link building activity.
All three sites run on the same software so they operate very similarly. All are modeled roughly after Digg but unlike the Digg community which will punish self promotion, these sites are designed for and welcome self promotional posts.
In each case you need to create and validate an account. Once approved you can create Scoops comprised of these elements:
- Scoop Title that becomes an anchored backlink to the webpage you are promoting
- Scoop Description that must fall within an acceptable number of characters for the site. If you have too many words or not enough you will not be able to proceed until you correct
- Category for the Scoop which allows categorization on the site. In some cases the category shows up in the URL
- Tags which help sort within the category. The tags are either attached to a tag cloud or used to identify and display related Scoops on the Scoop page.
- Your username entered when you set up the account.
- The opportunity for yourself and others to vote the Scoop up or down. Popular Scoops get promoted to the front page for extra exposure.
Each site creates a distinct page with its own URL for each submitted scoop. You can access the scoop later from that URL.
1. SheToldMe
Advertised as 100% Adsense Share, SheToldMe accepts your Adsense code and displays an ad with that code right below ever Scoop title you create. SheToldMe also accepts your Chitika account, serving your Chitika ads to search engine traffic. Good page rank and an active user community ensure that many Scoops get picked up the search engines and found by searchers.
As a side bonus, every scoop you publish also displays a link to whatever homepage you specify for your account. If you refer other members you get your own Adsense block displayed on the pages they create.
2. Carnival of Making Money Online
Carnival of Making Money Online is similar web site offering up to 75% Adsense share to users who actively submit scoops. A sliding scale applies. No Chitika offered and the site is not as active as SheToldMe. There is a small 10% of Adsense bonus for referring new members.
3. DIY Hound
DIY Hound is stripped down version of SheToldMe focused on Do It Yourself articles. A unique feature is that promoted Scoops get emailed out to subscribers weekly. Very simple to use site but no revenue sharing so save it for after you submit scoops on the other sites.
