A good sales pitch for them: "Hey! Please buy this wonderful domain on which I will remove 95% of the links once you bought it!"
I think that before buying any domain, you should ask for Google Webmaster Central access and look at the link portfolio as well, since GWC reports more links that Yahoo Linkdomain usually.
This news is a bit late, but again, I can't get used to the new Props :(
AOL explains a lot of GREAT things lately - like Engadget amazing design (hah)
It's not like if they ever though of redirecting all of their URLs or thought about any interlinking done.
AOL - that explains it (sorry, I love this sentence too much!)
Hamlet is my new hero, I do like his tool alot! (and no, I'm not being paid to say that!)
WebCEO has been a nightmare for us lately. We are thinking to switch to RankSense, which is much smarter / useful and was built by someone who understands SEO.
Story: It’s “Lights Out” for Google
Couldn't believe someone who take time to write that. Desphinned for inaccurate.
I totally agree with that *cough* *cough* nice article on fishing :) During those 36hours, we got hit by Digg/Reddit homepage 3-4 times each, and most of the pages submitted were from users we had never heard about! The best part is when we woke up and were the homepage of reddit and that the logo was changed - that was a thrill :D
Hey Neil. I think that you are right in the sense that a lower account will require far less diggs to hit the homepage. On the other hand, we have noticed that it is far easier to get a story buried now, and if you hit the homepage with a weak account, the chances to get buried by top diggers are a lot higher (from what we've seen). Kinda like if you'd have partial immunity if your a top digger!
On the other hand, if a top digger submits the story, and you can get enough votes for it (will be harder for sure), the chances to get buried, once it hits the homepage, seems to be lower (because a "respected" top digger won't get his story buried by other top diggers, even if the story is not awesome).
That's just my 2 cents - I recommend you vary; submit with weak, average and strong digg users to find what fits the best for you - I suppose the vertical market have a big impact on the bury side as well, as we've had harder situations with different niches.
