All I saw was a basic word-for-word recap of the webinar without any unique thoughts or insites added.
Vanessa's presentation is sphinn-worthy but not this plagarized blog post.
Whenever I read SEO's talking about web standards and markup (your 2nd paragraph) I always feel obligated to test their pages.
Oops -
Failed validation, 111 Errors
Just a quick note - your example URL has a space in it on the &strip=1 parameter which causes google to show the normal cache.
Great tutorial though.
Am I the only one who thinks this a mediocre article?
You say that phone number is what is costing you business - what about the other fields that you're asking for that are useless such as company name and number of employees and role in the company? The user is signing up for a free trial, not writing an essay about HIS company.
And then in your ad+landing page example you use the word FREE in your ad title yet a quick scan of the landing page didn't even mention the word FREE or if it did it wasn't prominent at all. And I think your value proposition needs some work on that page too.
It looks to be an error in IE7. The page gives an abortion error.
When I was a developer I ran into this problem with IE when I had a page that called a google map (javascript) and the google map finished loading before the entire html of the page loaded. I actually had to put a delay on the call to google maps to make sure it wouldn't load before the page finished rendering - if that helps you any...
@Slightlyshady - I'd rather read your stuff any day than the 40th article about 22 ways to use Twitter that you may not have thought about.
Good example of an article I would de-sphinn. I would hope most people are smart enough to realize that "fresh content" = "new/unique content".
It's all a bunch of BS anyway. The UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) was an ADD-ON by Bill Frist to the port security bill which was a must pass bill.
The 2+2 Legislation forum has some pretty good threads about all of this.
How about a script that will short visit your competitors and long visit your pages?
Story: What Determines Link Juice
Sam,
The reason you don't want more than 100 - 125 outbound links on a single page is because spiders will stop following the rest of the links. It wouldn't affect "your PR" except the miniscule amount of recursive PR you get internally for linking back and forth and back and forth between your own pages. High numbers of outbound links will not affect "your PR", just the amount of "juice" each of those links are given.
Story: Ignore your PageRank
Matt,
People are concerned with Google incorporating the votes into the normal serps for all users.
The problem is that spammers could release malware which gets onto 250,000 slave computers that do nothing but vote all day.
You should have created a Yahoo Pipe for those of us that are lazy.
On a side note - I'm sure they also lose millions in revenue on toolbar users who type in a URL. For example I don't have Sphinn bookmarked but every day at work I type Sphinn.com into my google toolbar and it takes me right here rather than showing a page of SERs that may have shown ads.
Story: Moderator?
I agree with you. The number of sphinns required to get an article on what's hot is so low that it would be easy for groups to form that simply vote each others stories up. And it appears to be somewhat evident based on some of the garbage that appears on the front page.
