Faster Communication with your SEO Customers and Subcontractors
Technology moves fast. Only a decade ago multinational corporations wasted millions on the phone conferences or expensive plane trips. Luckily now we have globalization and WWW that saves us money and time! This introduced a new word to the English language - “webinar” which means a web seminar or a web conference.
What if you are manage a Toronto website optimization company with offices or subcontractors in India or Russia, customers in Australia and the UK and have a bunch of Chicago website design companies or freelance Washington web designers as your resellers? What do you do if you need to consult a customer in New York on the best URL rewriting practices simultaneously explaining these technicalities to your web developers in the Ukraine? How do you join all elements in the equation? Online meeting applications with video stream conferencing seem to be the only solution!
Video streaming that allows members to see each other combined with the power of VoIP give you the unique chance to communicate with people from all possible parts of the world, share documents, make Power Point presentations, and even manage their desktops – all at the same time! Many SEOs are switching to this technology to perform everyday duties in a more efficient way. Borders and geography as such becomes inconsequential for this revolutionary software!

What Is Web 2.0?
by Mike Wolcott
Ask a dozen tech pundits to describe Web 2.0 and you're likely to get two dozen explanations as to what it is. The precise definition remains open to debate - and in some ways, that's exactly the point. This much is clear: Web 2.0 represents an important shift in the way digital information is created, shared, stored, distributed, and manipulated. In the years ahead, it will have a significant impact in the way businesses use both the Internet and enterprise-level IT applications.
As the name suggests, Web 2.0 describes a set of next-generation Internet technologies. These protocols and tools make it easier to create online applications that behave dynamically, much like traditional PC-based software. They're also highly social, encouraging users to manipulate and interact with content in new ways. Web 2.0 pushes computing power off the desktop and onto the Internet, which means less time and money spent on PC software administration. As a general rule, Web 2.0 tools are also less expensive than traditional software - and many are even free. Because they're Web-based, all you need to get started is an up-to-date browser.
In 1984, Sun Microsystems co-founder John Gage coined the phrase "the network is the computer" to describe his vision for the future of information technology. This was a bold statement at the time, because it anticipated a future in which data networks would be powerful enough to supplant mainframes and desktop PCs as a primary IT resource.
Fast-forward to the present: Though it's taken more than two decades for the prediction to come true, Web 2.0 is at last turning the network into a vibrant computing platform. Today's Web-based applications are fast and dynamic, and they behave much like software applications installed on desktop computers. For example, Google Spreadsheets is a spreadsheet tool that works much like Microsoft Excel, with three big differences: It's Web-based, so users don't need to download or install any software; it's collaborative, so multiple users can work on one spreadsheet at the same time; and (best of all) it's free.
In a Web 2.0 world, instead of merely reading a newsletter, for example, you might begin to publish one of your own. If you're frustrated by the way your current software compiles data, Web 2.0 services can make it easier to display the data in a different way. Having versioning problems with shared documents? Web 2.0 allows groups of people to work on a document or spreadsheet simultaneously, while in the background a computer keeps track of who made what changes where and when.
In general, the key characteristics of Web 2.0 are:
Web-based applications can be accessed from anywhere
Simple applications solve specific problems
Value lies in content, not the software used to display content
Data can be readily shared
Distribution is bottom-up, not top-down
Employees and customers can access and use tools on their own
Social tools encourage people to create, collaborate, edit, categorize, exchange, and promote information
Network effects are encouraged; the more people who contribute, the better the content gets
Still confused? This clever link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLlGopyXT_g explains what makes Web 2.0 different from Web 1.0.
All of this has major implications for the future of information technology and personal communications. Web 2.0 creates new ways for large groups of people to collaborate and exchange information while reducing the importance of the PC itself as an information-delivery platform. When both the applications and the data that feed into them reside online, a variety of devices can function as information terminals: your smart phone, your music player, the computer you use today, and whatever computer you'll use next year. Web 2.0 not only makes all this possible, it also makes it inexpensive and easy to deploy.
Although many of the most famous Web 2.0 tools are consumer applications - YouTube, Flickr, and MySpace come quickly to mind - there are two main reasons why Web 2.0 is relevant to business people.
The first has to do with reducing the costs associated with traditional enterprise applications. As any IT manager will tell you, it's expensive to install, configure, maintain, and upgrade essential software on personal computers and company servers - and even more so if you have lots of employees with lots of different computing needs. Web 2.0 tools eliminate much of this hassle and expense because Web 2.0 applications reside on servers maintained by the vendors themselves.
Web 2.0 is also changing the way information is created, used, shared, and manipulated. Thanks in part to Web 2.0 technologies, the barriers between a corporation (including its CEO, board, managers, and employees) and the consumer have never been so thin. Taking advantage of this reality will require a major attitude shift on the part of many companies and the people who run them. Hierarchy and direct control are giving way to notions of collaboration, creativity, transparency, and mass participation, and the effects of this change are just beginning to make themselves felt.
Web 2.0 offers many potential benefits for the business world - but it's a different world indeed. For example, in 2006, General Motors invited consumers to create their own commercials for the Chevrolet Tahoe SUV, using GM-supplied video and the creators' choice of music and text. The effort generated plenty of online traffic, plenty of buzz, and (as might have been expected) plenty of commercials that GM wished had never seen the light of day. But compared to a traditional ad campaign, the effort was inexpensive, it exposed the Chevy Tahoe to a new audience, and it worked - sales of the vehicle were strong compared to the same period the year before.
Philosophically, Web 2.0 is all about simplicity. Practically, it decouples computing from stand-alone computers - a shift that dramatically reduces software deployment and administrative costs. It uses common software protocols to foster the free exchange of information between different tools and groups of users (minimizing the "silo" effect created when data becomes trapped inside a single technology platform or functional group). Lastly, because it encourages large-scale collaboration, Web 2.0 facilitates new forms of problem-solving that can provide business managers with valuable ideas and insights.
The hype surrounding Web 2.0 can be off-putting - and confusing. Some veteran technologists even argue that Web 2.0 is little more than a catchy new name for a cluster of technologies that have been around for quite some time.
Both of these criticisms are relevant to any manager who is evaluating Web 2.0 services for use inside your company. The fuzzy nature of the term means that some vendors will tout themselves as being "Web 2.0," just to get attention - regardless of the extent to which their offering really is dynamic, interactive, or built around accepted Web 2.0 protocols. Meanwhile, the influx of venture capital means that more and more Web 2.0 startups are entering the marketplace - and not all of them will survive. Before making any substantial investment in a Web 2.0-based tool, do your due diligence to assess the risks and minimize your company's exposure to unpleasant surprises.
Michael Arrington: Just as restaurants, movie producers, and musicians keep an eye on what the critics have to say, so, too, do Web 2.0 startups. No one's word carries more weight than that of Arrington, who publishes his thoughts on his TechCrunch blog.
Mark Benioff: The founder and CEO of Salesforce.com, Benioff was touting the benefits of his company's Web-based customer relationship management (CRM) tools years before the phrase "Web 2.0" was invented. Thanks in part to Benioff's talent for marketing and self-promotion, Salesforce.com is credited with having fatally undermined the business model of Siebel, one of its former rivals.
Tim O'Reilly: The founder of tech publisher O'Reilly Media and a respected industry visionary, O'Reilly helped coin the term "Web 2.0" in 2004 and he's still considered a leading thinker on the subject. O'Reilly's most recent definition of Web 2.0 describes it as "the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform. Chief among those rules is this: Build applications that harness network effects to get better the more people use them."
Venture capitalists: Much of the most interesting activity in Web 2.0 development comes from entrepreneurial startups, and these are usually funded by VC investment. In 2006, the most active investors in Web 2.0 startups were Benchmark Capital, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Sequoia Capital, and Omidyar Network, according to VentureOne.
Apart from the concept itself, some specific Web 2.0 technologies are also important to understand. These include:
AJAX: An acronym derived from "Asynchronous JavaScript and XML." AJAX is an important underlying technology used to create interactive Web applications. Ajax is what enables Web 2.0 sites to behave dynamically, so that they feel more like computer programs than static web pages. Like the way Google Maps lets you drag elements across the page? That's AJAX in action.
Atom: A format for the syndication of online content, atom functions as a newer alternative to RSS (described below).
Blog: Originally derived from the word "weblog," a blog is a simple content website created with inexpensive self-publishing tools. Blogs are the backbone of Web 2.0's democratic spirit.
Mashups: Websites or applications that combine content from one or more sources. For example, Cellreception.com combines Google Maps with a database of 124,000 cell phone tower locations to help users determine where mobile coverage is strong - and where it isn't.
RSS: Shorthand for "Real Simple Syndication," RSS is a protocol that makes it easy for computer users to receive content from their favorite providers whenever the content is updated. Instead of having to remember to visit a website to read a favorite column, watch a video, or listen to an audio program, RSS lets a user subscribe to the content so it's delivered automatically. The flow of content the user receives is called an "RSS feed."
Social media: A generic term used to describe Web-based tools that harness the power of collaboration and group interaction. This can take many forms, from the personal web pages of MySpace to the virtual worlds of Second Life to the professional networking popular on LinkedIn.
Tags: User-generated keywords used to describe online content. Tags make it easier for both humans and search engines to find relevant and related information.
Wikis: A dynamic Web document that allows users to add, change, or edit the content displayed on the page. The user-created Wikipedia online encyclopedia is the most famous example.
XML: An abbreviation for "Extensible Markup Language," XML is a programming code for online data that preserves the structure and formatting of a digital document regardless of whatever application is used to read it. XML is an important enabling technology for RSS feeds (described above).

The precise definition remains open to debate - and in some ways, that's exactly the point. This much is clear: Web 2.0 represents an important shift in the way digital information is created, shared, stored, distributed, and manipulated.

Google PR update 27/10/07
Last Google pr update was on 27/10/07
Most of my new blos up to pr3-5
One blog got pr5 - I got 2 pr6 links for this blog
One blog got pr4 although it doesn't have backlinks, just good unique content
Rest of the blogs got pr2-3 - almost without backlinks but with many updates
Blog with many sitewide links doesn't dropped from pr3
Blog with very good unique content dropped from pr4 to pr3
My conclusion - Google doesn't punish blogs for selling links or maybe still can't determine paid links, unique content is very important thing

Sponsored theme in WordPress
One popular way to build easy incoming links is to have a web designer build you an open source WordPress blog template with your link embedded. You then distribute the template for free to anyone who wants to use it to spruce up their blog.
This led to mortgage companies, credit card companies, and all kinds of other businesses sponsoring WordPress themes in exchange for those easy links. It's gotten a bit out of hand, and Matt had this to say on the subject in his presentation slides:
Don't use sponsored theme - can lose all your trust in different search engines.

Where you can open free blogs
1. Most popular for sure is http://www.blogger.com pr9
It's very comfortable recourse with many integrated facilities
Even if you don't know html it's very easy to add new build-in elements on the side bar. If you know html you can add some scripts for template manually.
For example script of statcounter if you want to know how many visitors were on your blog, from where them came and with what keywords.
You can open number of blogs on one account.
For opening new blog on the Blogger you have to open Google account before.
Now I discovered that blogger also gives opportunity to connect own domain to the free account, but I still need to learn how to do it.
2. Wordpress.com pr8
One of the biggest advantage of the Wordpress is the possibility to buy your own domain and to connect it to your free wordpress blog.
Wordpress gives you some statistic with referrers and keywords but only for 2 last days.
You can open number of blogs on one account.
3. MySpace pr8 - very popular resourse where you can add many friends.
My opinion is that free MySpace is not so comfortable for blogging.
You don't have good statistic - just number of visits for all period of time, for last week and fot today.
4. www.blogigo.com - home page just pr4
It's works relative slowly, gives stat info during the last month - number of visits and number of pages views for every day.
You have to update html in the pop-up window.
The advantage - many extentions are available - co.uk, de, fr etc.
5. www.blog.com/ - pr6
You can open only one blog on the free account.
There is the blog ads between your posts in the free version.
6. http://www.vox.com/ pr8
There is the google ads between the posts.
7. http://blog.360.yahoo.com
You can open blog wih your yahoo email id.
8. http://www.livejournal.com/ pr8 - very popular and old web resourse for blogging.
It's available in many languages.
There is a 3 level of privacy on livejournal - you can post in public format, only for friends, for some groupe of friends and private.
If you have a long post you can hide part of it under the special tag.
There is not access to the template of blog.
Only one sitewide link is available.
9.http://blogster.com/ pr5
It's very comfortable recourse with many integrated facilities
Even if you don't know html it's very easy to add new build-in elements on the side bar. If you know html you can add some scripts for template manually.
For example script of statcounter if you want to know how many visitors were on your blog, from where them came and with what keywords.
You can open number of blogs on one account.
For opening new blog on the Blogger you have to open Google account before.
Now I discovered that blogger also gives opportunity to connect own domain to the free account, but I still need to learn how to do it.
2. Wordpress.com pr8
One of the biggest advantage of the Wordpress is the possibility to buy your own domain and to connect it to your free wordpress blog.
Wordpress gives you some statistic with referrers and keywords but only for 2 last days.
You can open number of blogs on one account.

Google PageRank: What Do We Know About It?
1.Frequent content updates don’t improve Page Rank automatically. Content is not part of the PR calculation.
2.High Page Rank doesn’t mean high search ranking.
3.DMOZ and Yahoo! Listings don’t improve Page Rank automatically.
4..edu and .gov-sites don’t improve Page Rank automatically.
5.Sub-directories don’t necessarily have a lower Page Rank than root-directories.
6.Wikipedia links don’t improve PageRank automatically (update: but pages which extract information from Wikipedia might improve PageRank).
7.Links marked with nofollow-attribute don’t contribute to Google PageRank.
8.Efficient internal onsite linking has an impact on PageRank.
9.Related high ranked web-sites count stronger. But: “a page with high PageRank may actually pass you less if it has more links, because it’s spread too thin.” [RY]
10.Links from and to high quality related sites have an impact on Page Rank.
Multiple votes to one link from the same page cost as much as a single vote

All you need to do is give a link for the Hobo SEO. It doesn’t have to be on your site, but it can be if you wish. Of course, this link should be seo-friendly - ie nofollow links are well, pretty useless.

Better and Better Ad Relevance
First, we're enhancing our targeting technology to deliver ads that are even more relevant to the content on your site. Over the past year we've been refining the technology we use to deliver ads to content pages by leveraging data from across the Google Network, monitoring results, and feeding this information back into the system. In other words, our technology is becoming smarter all the time. Now, in addition to understanding the overall meaning of a page, our technology determines the relevance of concepts found on a page to pick better performing ads. With this change we expect to deliver ads that better complement the content on your site and provide even more value for your users. The bottom line: increased relevance, and higher clickthrough rates.
Smarter and Smarter Pricing
Second, we're introducing enhancements to our pricing model for advertisers. Google's smart pricing has always provided better placement for better performing ads, and reduced the cost of a click to the least amount possible for an advertiser to stay above their competitor's ad. Now, with the new AdWords pricing model, weО©╫ll also automatically adjust the price of clicks across the Google Network based on their expected value to the advertiser. A number of factors will be taken into account when calculating the expected value, including the keywords or concepts that triggered the ad. For example, a click on an ad for digital cameras on a web page about photography tips may be worth less than a click on the same ad appearing next to a review of digital cameras.
For advertisers, each and every click will deliver the strong return on investment they have come to expect from Google AdWords, driving even higher advertiser participation on Google and across the Google Network.
