Redscowl SEO Blog Update

Well it seems that even though if we don’t win the Redscowl Bluesingsky SEO Contest, we will still have a good Alexa Ranking and Google Page Rank.

We are looking to see if the other Redscowl Bluesingsky competing websites have moved up in Alexa Rankings as well. But some of them are hosted on other domain names, so we won’t count those.

We understand that the Alexa Rank isn’t a reliable source of traffic data, but it does check how many links you have and such. Guess we are doing a pretty nice job in link hunting!

Now as all of you should have realized by now, Redscowl Bluesingsky.us is the best blog which offers up-to-date information about the Redscowl Bluesingsky SEO Contest. We also offer information about our competitors and in this case, our top competitor, Shoemoney. He currently owns Redscowl-Bluesingsky.name and has nearly 10,000 backlinks from numerous websites.

Now most of you will be amazed at this fact. However, nearly half of the backlinks seems to be coming from random websites, which will rotate websites and his website just so happened to come up when a Search Engine indexed that webpage.

We would have never figured out which linking scheme he was in, but then one of the websites showed the header “DigitalPoint” and that’s when it hit us! He was using the DigitalPoint Co-Op Advertising System (Read Co-Op Advertising Network Article) and that’s how he recieved so many links! Guess we are on the right track so far!

Well it seems that there are many co-op advertising websites out there which claim that they will send a lot of traffic to your website and such. Now some of them may be beneficial and useful and there are numerous positive effects about them. However, there are also bad effects as well.

What is Co-Op Advertising?

Now many of you may not know what co-op advertising is. We will explain it to you in simple terms. First, a website which can be referred to as the “middle man” will offer their co-op advertising services for free.

After joining, you will get a small code, most of the time in PHP, which you must display on your website. This code will request a list of websites from the “middle-man” server and display it on your website.

When ads are displayed on your website, you will recieve credits, which are in turn used to display your website’s ads on other people’s websites who are participating on the same “middle-man” website.

Positive Effects

There are positive effects of joining co-op advertising networks. First of all, it will bring in a small number of traffic to your website. However, the real prize lies in the fact that you will recieve backlinks from that site and if a Search Engine indexes your web page at that time, free links!

This is a pretty risky method and can change anytime. However, it is a pretty effective way to get a good page rank and ranking!

Negative Effects

There are a few negative effects about joining co-op advertising networks. Most of them will require credits and to obtain credits, you will need to place their code which will display links to other websites. Otherwise, to obtain credits you will need to buy them by paying.

Good Co-Op Advertising Networks

So far we have joined two co-op advertising networks and they do seem similar. We will discuss both of these co-op advertsing networks in this article. First of all, you should look that when you recieve a PHP Code, you should see if links to other participants websites are appearing in the HTML Code of the website. If they do not, you can be pretty sure that your websites will not either and Google won’t index backlinks. So don’t use that websites services.

Now we just started using co-op advertising networks, but so far we found two of them which are pretty nice. You can click on the links so you can sign up for their services as well!

DigitalPoint Co-Op Advertising Network 

First of all, we are using DigitalPoint’s Free Co-Op Advertising Network, which is displayed on our sidebar. They have a lot of webmasters participating in their Advertising Network, which is a great advantage. In addition, you can choose if you want your ads to be an image or text and you can choose which ones will be displayed on your website. You cannot pay for your credits, which levels the playing field for all webmasters. You can gain credits by referring people (Click Here to sign up using the Redscowl Bluesingsky.us Referral Link) and you can recieve 10% of all the credits which your referrals bring in. These credits are not taken from the person you referred! Here is an example of DigitalPoint Co-Op Advertising Network Ads:

SEO Ad Network

Now SEO AdNetwork does not have an amazing database, but it is sufficient and acceptable. They do have some similar qualities to DigitalPoint’s Co-Op Advertising Network, but they don’t show you your credits or let you refer people using a link, they send E-Mails instead. However, your ads will pop-up on a few sites here and there and you might get a decent amount of backlinks to your site. They display 5 text links and we have placed them on the sidebar as well. We will most likely move it to the footer soon. You can view the SEO Ad Network Ads on our Sidebar near the bottom, but we might put it on the bottom soon!

We have created our own simple banner which is in a JPEG Format. You may use our banner to link to our website and such. Here is the banner in full size and all you need to do is right click on it and save as.

P.S. Click on it to be taken to the source!

Well we just noticed that our website is recieving over 1,000 hits per day. We decided to investigate this a little bit further and we noticed that Redscowl Bluesingsky.us is listed in the first position for the keywords “Google Flux”! We don’t know how it happened, guess good content really does get a good ranking.

Here is the webpage which is responsible for our high ranking:

SEO Information: Google Dance (Google Flux)

We are looking at some of the other keywords for which Redscowl Bluesingsky.us is listed in high positions for and we will post updates soon!

Well we are starting to buy websites in the top 20 rankings for the keywords “Redscowl Bluesingsky” in the Google SERP’s. We have requested 2 websites so far and if you are interested in selling your website to us, please send us an E-Mail to:

cphosts@gmail.com

We will reply soon! You will not need to provide web hosting for us, all we would like is your domain name.

Well it seems that we are not the only ones setting up websites to compete with the Search Engine Optimization contest for Redscowl Bluesingsky.us as well! We are going to start concentrating on V7ndotcom Elursrebmem.us and carcasherdotcom seocontest.us as well!

We are currently thinking of creating subdomains for each of the SEO Contests and work on the subdomains as well! Definitely going to require a lot of work, but we think we can do it! We just need 3 days to finish integrating our threee main content sites and we will start on working on the subdomin idea!

Well it looks like Google is updating it’s datacenters with another 10,000 results for the keywords “Redscowl Bluesingsky” and if you check out our results, you might notice that Redscowl-Bluesingsky.name run by Shoemoney is coming back into position 1 and Redscowl Bluesingsky.us has fallen down a position, to position 4.

Hope the BackLink Update does some good!

Well, according to SEOLogs.com (the sponsor of the Redscowl Bluesingsky SEO Competition), Google is starting a BackLink Update right now. We guess this will definitely affect the Redscowl Bluesingsky SEO Contest in numerous ways!

The BackLink Update is supposed to take around 2 days according to SEOLogs.com, but you can never be sure! We are seriously bursting with excitement!!

We have finally organized our pinging list (Redscowl Bluesingsky SEO Tactic C: Blog Pinging) and we started noticing that when we create a post or such, it takes an extremely long minute for the webpage to confirm it.

The post will come on the website at that time, but WordPress will be pinging each one of the URL’s in your list. So the more URL’s you have to ping, the longer you will need to keep the webpage open. Not a big deal, just seemed like a cool fact!
