clickfind™ was launched late 2007 and besides it being a good search engine and business directory, it also incorporates “State of the Art” Search Engine Optimisation (S.E.O.) functionality and technology.

Brisbane, Queensland January 17, 2008 — clickfind™ was launched late 2007 and besides it being a good search engine and business directory, it also incorporates “State of the Art” Search Engine Optimisation (S.E.O.) functionality and technology.

Here are some of the features that set this search engine apart both in Australia and overseas:
• With the push of a button a user can have their business listing uploaded to Google Maps
• Google Ads will automatically be published with the client’s business name as a keyword phrase as a part of their monthly fee
• All products and services on clickfind (owned by the user) are allowed to be exported to RSS, which allows them to syndicate their products easily
• Professional copywriters may be hired at a small investment to help clients write their listings, making sure they get quality listings, but at the same time have a listing that works with SEO
• Anchor text is allowed on their listing description and is encouraged, as it has long been recognized a strong factor in ranking well with search engines
• Members can publish their listing directly from clickfind to Google base (once Google Base is available in Australia)
• As well as listing business info, members can list up to 500 products and services, which dramatically increases SEO performance

A powerful business directory
clickfind™ business listings are far more useful than those in other directories and search engines. As well as essential info like business name, description and contact details, clickfind™ listings can include full details of products and services. We’re not just talking about a simple list — a business can add a separate page with description for up to 500 products or services.

This approach is extremely useful for customers, but it also has great value for business owners. Adding product and service information dramatically increases the chance of a business being found when a customer is looking for a relevant product or service, either on clickfind™ or elsewhere. It also means a business can treat their clickfind™ listing as a self-contained website, or use it to drive traffic to their existing website.

Useful and fair search results
The search engine has been carefully developed to ensure results match what people search for. When a user searches for “apples” we’ll make sure they find apples and not lemons, unlike some of the other search engines. Results are also targeted geographically, so people can find businesses near them.

We do not sell advertising spots or sponsored listings. The order of business listings is based on relevancy. This means we keep things fair for businesses and produce meaningful results for people searching for products or services. Whether a business was listed a year ago or today, it doesn’t matter — geographic location and keyword relevancy is all that counts.

BlogReach ist ein neuer Service für die Verlinkung von themenbezogenen Webseiten.

Eine der wichtigsten Komponenten in der Online-Vermarktung von Webseiten ist die Verlinkung mit anderen, themenrelevanten Webseiten. Nicht nur wegen der direkten Klicks auf diese Links sondern natürlich auch wegen der Bewertung durch Suchmaschinen. In der Anfangsphase entstanden Linkfarmen die einfach helfen sollten den PageRank bei Google zu erhöhen. Dann kamen die bezahlbaren Linkprovider, die gegen Kosten einen Link auf themenrelevanten Webseiten platzierten.

Nun kommt mit BlogReach ein neues System auf den Markt, welches mehrere Vorzüge vereint. Bei BlogReach werden die Headlines von Blogartikeln als Link auf anderen themenrelevanten Webseiten angezeigt. Umgekehrt bindet man ein Widget in seinen Blog ein, in dem Headlines mit Links zu anderen themenrelevanten Blogs angezeigt werden. So entsteht eine Art Vernetzungsring zu themenrelevanten Webseiten. Für die Einblendung der Links auf seiner Seite erhält man, in einem bestimmten Verhältnis, Gutschriften an Impressionen seiner Links auf anderen Seiten. Man muss natürlich mehr Einblendungen auf seiner Seite erlauben, als die eigenen Links auf anderen Seiten gezeigt werden. Die Differenz der Impressionen wird von BlogReach vermarktet, sprich – sie werden verkauft.

Die Linkeinbindung erfolgt googleneutral, d.h. an den Links ist nicht zu erkennen, dass sie über BlogReach bereit gestellt werden. BlogReach ist ein amerikanischer Service, also auf Englisch. Wer nicht so gut Englisch spricht, kann sich bei uns melden, wir übernehmen dann kostenlos die Anmeldung und senden den Code für das Widget zu. Kontakt: www.gh-consulting.net

There is a patent application in the US Trademark Office from Monika Henzinger, published in July, 2005, that certifies that she has figured out a way of determining a document�s �freshness.� In an attempt to associate this new term with Google�s other patented terminology (namely PageRank and TrustRank), forum posters are now referring to the concept as �FreshRank.�

The abstract of this patent application states that one of the problems of determining the freshness of a document indexed in a search engine is that the �last-modified-since� attribute isn�t always correct. Some webmasters have figured out they can change the modify date, but obviously a pattern of abuse developed. It doesn�t fool Google, because what Google looks for is actual modified content. As far as how Google determines how old or �fresh� a document may be is still somewhat Read more…
