This Google ranking malarky doesn’t get any easier does it? While I’m waiting for my new website to be completed, I’ve decided to try and find out what the best, free and low maintenance methods are for getting a better Google ranking. As suspected, it is all down to incoming links.
Over the years,I’ve joined forums on all sorts of subjects, from audio-visual equipment to Batman and I’ve known for a while that the more links to your website you can get out there, the better it is for your site. So there are links to www.straygoat.com on forums all over the place. Of course, these don’t help as much as relevant links, such as those from other copywriters or copywriting related businesses, but they still help a little bit. But today I learned that one of the best incoming links you can get is from that old favourite – Ebay.
I didn’t know about this, but apparently you can set up an About Me page that lets you include a link to your website (with certain conditions, but knowing how slack Ebay have become regarding the enforcement of policies, you could probably get away with breaking the rules anyway). So now my Ebay account boasts a link to www.straygoat.com and my other sites: www.technicalauthorforhire.co.uk and www.webcontentwriter.co.uk. Hopefully, this will help to boost my ranking a little bit more.
I’ve also been busy setting up profiles on social networking sites and joining Yahoo clubs…let’s just hope this all pays off because I could do with getting some more work in. Sharpish.
Today I am down in the dumps about Liverpool beating Arsenal in the Champions League. I don’t support Arsenal, but wanted them to win because they play good football as opposed to Liverpool’s anti-football. Now Liverpool or Chelsea will be in the final, both displaying their dreary brand of the beautiful game.
Arsenal were robbed too. Shocking refereeing decisions.
THINGS I LIKE ABOUT ARSENAL: Approach to the game, William Gallas’ haircut.
THINGS I HATE ABOUT LIVERPOOL: Approach to the game, Stevie Gerrard (most overrated, big-headed player in the country).
