A busy ranking artist runs into this problem quite often. I ran into it again the other day and figured I might as well show my Blue Hat peeps how to overcome the same problem since its a fairly popular problem to have and there is a simple solution to it.

The Problem

Your site is holding a particular rank and a Wikipedia page is ranked right above it. The specific ranks don’t particularly matter, but much like Hillary Clinton in the primaries you can’t possibly live being beaten like that. You have to drop the Wikipage down a notch and you have to continue moving up.

Haven’t done a Neat Tricks and Hacks in awhile. Here’s one to remind DIGG and Stumbleupon users to up your shit.

PHP

<?
$sites[’stumbleupon’] = ‘Glad you stumbled upon us. Please leave us a nice review if you enjoy the site!’;
$sites[’digg.com’] = ‘Glad you found us on Digg. Please Digg up if you like!’;

if( !empty( $_SERVER[’HTTP_REFERER’] ) ) {
    $data = parse_url( $_SERVER[’HTTP_REFERER’ ] );
    foreach( $sites as $domain => $text ) {
        if( strpos( strtolower( $data[’host’] ), $domain ) !== false ) {
            echo ‘<script type=”text/javascript”>alert(”‘.addslashes($text).’”);</script>’;
            break;
        }
    }
}
?>

I’ve been starting to use a new plugin I helped develop with the coding expertise of Josh Team from Dallas Nightlife Entertainment. It’s called PingCrawl. Its a plugin that helps get your Wordpress blogs deep links automatically on every post.

Plugin Summary

Every time you make a post on your blog it grabs similar posts from other blogs that allow pingbacks using the post tags. It then links to them at the bottom of the post as similar posts. It then executes the pingback on all the posts. You can specify how many posts to do per tag and that many will be done for each tag you use in your posts. Typically it has about an 80% successrate with each pingback and they are legit so the ones that fall into moderation tend to get approved. This creates quite a few deep links for each blog post you make and through time really helps with your link building. Especially for new blogs.

I somehow missed this question from the Open Questions post and I can’t help but answer it.

From Adsenser

I loved your SEO empire post. But I was wondering how much effect does a lot of links from a lot of indexed pages from the same domain have? I always thought that the search engines looked mainly at the number of different domain linking to you. Can you give some more info on this? Or do you use these pages to link to a lot of different domains?
