<p>1) I got engaged.<br />
2) Preparing the book ordering site. I&#8217;ve done two rounds of usability tests and set up a split test on the book chapter download to see if I can increase performance there.<br />
2.1 ) Shipping pre-orders.<br />
3) Creating a new free WP plugin based on one of the book&#8217;s tactics. It&#8217;ll help with content marketing. You can comment if you want to beta test, but I expect feedback. Expect this to seriously rock. If you&#8217;re not already subscribing by RSS, <a href="http://projects.seoroi.com/" rel='nofollow' >add my RSS feed to your reader</a> now to get your free copy first once released! You can also <a href="http://projects.seoroi.com/" rel='nofollow' >get my latest posts</a> by email.<br />
4) Planning lots of guest posts and promotional content.<br />
5) Planning a big piece of content:<a href="seoroi.com/seo-roi-quality/beginners-guide-remote-usability-testing"> a remote usability testing guide based</a> on my experience improving the book&#8217;s site.<br />
6) Enjoying the beautiful city and life that is Jerusalem, where I live.<br />
7) Applying to speak at <a href="http://wordcampjerusalem.com">WordCamp Jerusalem</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Like I said, <a href="http://projects.seoroi.com/" rel='nofollow' >get my latest posts</a> <a href="http://projects.seoroi.com/" rel='nofollow' >by email or rss</a>! </strong> Or get a free chapter from my <a href="http://book.seoroi.com">advanced SEO book</a> and see what <a href="http://www.searchbrat.com/review-of-gab-goldenbergs-advanced-seo-book/" target="_blank">all</a> the <a href="www.optimisationv.com/english/advanced-seo-book" target="_blank">fuss</a> <a href="http://www.optimisationv.com/livre-de-seo-avance" target="_blank">is </a> about&#8230; </p>

<p>I recently failed to find things when searching by name. I tried looking up a foreign song by its name, and a restaurant by its name, address and city (all in one query). Both those searches failed.<br />
<span id="more-2368"></span><br />
What did work was looking for the category of the song. It&#8217;s no secret that if your search is too specific, you want to broaden it, but sometimes it&#8217;s difficult seeing how to make something broader when you&#8217;re already searching on a general term. </p>
<p>To give an SEO analogy, if you wanted to read about improving <a href="http://seoroi.com/usability/easy-usability-tip-for-registration-page-conversion-lifts/">registration page conversions</a>, you might look up &#8216;<a href="http://seoroi.com/conversion-rate-optimization/">conversion rate optimization</a> blog&#8217; and then dig around sites on the topic. It may take a little longer, but it&#8217;s a way to find stuff in the longtail when Google&#8217;s <a href="http://seoroi.com/algorithms/">algorithms</a> suck too much. </p>
<p>With regards to the restaurant, it seems the Google Places listing hasn&#8217;t been claimed. Presumably that&#8217;s why the query confused Google, which gave me a country-level view of its map. Obviously useless.</p>
<p>What did work was just looking for the address itself, which Google somehow does know. So if you&#8217;re looking for directions to a restaurant or place, type in the street address&#8230; not the name.</p>

<p>The IM scene here in Israel is growing and is ripe for a monthly meetup for schmoozing and having fun with your peers. That was most evident this Sunday at <a href="http://searchmarketingexpo.com/sphinncon">SphinnCon</a>, which was very well-attended and featured some pretty impressive presentations from the likes of Barry Schwartz of <a href="http://www.rustybrick.com">Rustybrick Web Dev</a> and Adir Regev of <a href="http://www.gim.co.il/">Go Internet Marketing</a> <em>in particular</em>.<br />
<span id="more-2264"></span><br />
Marc Levy of <a href="http://www.matanmedia.com">Matan Media</a> suggested to me that an SEO meetup in Jerusalem would be great, and based on my experience with Montreal&#8217;s Yulbiz scene, I had to agree. </p>
<p>All that to say that I suggest:</p>
<p>Who: Everyone involved in internet marketing: bloggers, SEOs, PPC folks, email marketers, affiliates, social pros, developers, designers etc<br />
When: Next Wednesday, January 19th, starting at 7 and going til 10 pm<br />
Where: <a href="http://www.2eat.co.il/restaurant.aspx?restid=19453">Hamoshava 54</a> address: Shlomtzion Hamalka #5. (NOT the other location on Emek Refaim).</p>
<p>Leave a comment here if you&#8217;re interested and blog/tweet about it to pass the message on to others who may be interested. Thanks to @<a href="http://twitter.com/#!/MenuchaZ">Menucha_Z</a> for her help writing this. Likewise to all the awesome organizers who helped put together SphinnCon!</p>

		</div>
<p>To my friends, acquaintances and readers: I&#8217;ve got a sweet link opportunity for you that combines charity with trusted educational links.</p>
<p>Together with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem&#8217;s student union (the &#8220;Aguda&#8221;) and the Office of Student Activities of the Rothberg International School, we&#8217;re organizing an anti-smoking programme. The <a href="http://seoroi.com/ideas" target='_blank' >idea</a> is to give away -free &#8211; nicotine gum to students who want to quit, to help them kick the habit.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll be setting up stalls where students can come ask for a pack of the gum, and invite them to give us their names/emails for follow up to see how they&#8217;re doing a little later. Permission marketing rather than interruption marketing, to avoid giving away gum to students not really determined to quit.</p>
<p>If you want to contribute to buying these gums for students, <strong>send me an email at gab@seor.. for details.</strong> I&#8217;m taking payments for this through Paypal, as well as contributing $1000 myself. We&#8217;ve also got people matching donations dollar for dollar, so that if you give $10, you&#8217;re helping us get $20 total.<br />
<strong><br />
For the links, any donation over $100 gets you a link on the aguda&#8217;s old, trusted site and another one on the program&#8217;s site. We may get a third link n Rothberg&#8217;s site, but it&#8217;s unclear for now. </strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure whether we can give optimum anchor text, but I&#8217;ll do my best to arrange it. For the record, Matt Cutts approves of charity-donation links.</p>
<p>Again, to send money and get links, email <strong>gab at this domain (seor..).</strong></p>

<p>It&#8217;s sad in a way, but one of the biggest businesses online is charity. Numerous sites out there will handle payment processing etc. for charities for &#8216;only&#8217; about 3% of donations (the same as Paypal or any credit card processing company). I&#8217;m trying to set something up with student union of my university and accepting donations online is proving to be a challenge. For those who qualify in the UK, however, I&#8217;ve found one site that does this for free :<span id="more-1680"></span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.charitychoice.co.uk/CharityRegistration.asp">https://www.charitychoice.co.uk/CharityRegistration.asp</a></p>
<p>How does this relate to SEO? Pretty vaguely, in that the charity I&#8217;m trying to get set up would offer thankyou links to donors (stay tuned for details if that works out&#8230;). But in general it&#8217;s good to know what&#8217;s going on in the online world. There&#8217;s lots of business available around besides just big money categories like finance, the three Ps etc.</p>

<p>Carolyn Nolte, Customer Service Manager at Footshox, a company that sells insoles and shoe inserts, understands what it takes to seriously impress customers.<span id="more-998"></span></p>
<p>I wanted to buy insoles as a promotional give-away for SMX Advanced. She answered me by email telling me what the rate would be for a bulk order. Then when I wanted to followup by phone, I couldn&#8217;t, because they&#8217;ve got some kind of US-only phone number. So she called me to followup.</p>
<p>When it turned out that I couldn&#8217;t buy as many insoles as I expected, she still remained polite and explained to me what their pricing would be etc. As it turned out, I bought a few more insoles than my low estimate, though still less than the initial estimate.</p>
<p>In my note, I mentioned that I needed the insoles by a certain date. Yet my order was precariously close to the date.</p>
<p>At no extra cost to me, Carolyn upgraded the (very affordable and probably not marked-up) shipping to be expedited to insure I got the insoles in time. And then she threw in 4 more pairs of insoles, too!</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t tell you what a great feeling it was to have the insoles with me during my SMX presentation, and get a hearty laugh out of the room when I showed them my schwag. And furthermore, it built on my relationships with the great folks at <a href="http://go.seomoz.org/aff_c?offer_id=1&#038;aff_id=1009&#038;aff_sub=features&#038;url=http%3A//www.seomoz.org/features" rel='nofollow'  target='_blank' >SEOmoz</a> and others in the industry.</p>
<p>Insoles: $&#8230;</p>
<p>Shipping: $&#8230;</p>
<p>Delight: Priceless.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Footshox Mens Dress Insoles" src="http://footshox.com/images/products/mens_dress_insoles.jpg" alt="men's dress insoles" width="174" height="140" align="left" /> Much thanks to Footshox <a href="http://www.footshox.com">Insoles</a> that help you prevent <a href="http://footshox.com/foot_pain.htm">foot pain</a>, etc. I bought the 3/4 length <a href="http://footshox.com/product_detail_mens_dress.htm">men&#8217;s dress insoles</a> and full size <a href="http://footshox.com/product_detail_womens_dress.htm">women&#8217;s dress insoles</a>. For future reference though, I&#8217;d recommend full-length shoe inserts, since the 3/4 ones shift around, especially on hilly terrain like Seattle&#8217;s.</p>
<p>p.s. To clarify: Footshox are not a client. I just really liked their customer service and insoles.</p>

<p>To all my readers: If you&#8217;re going to SMX Advanced, I&#8217;d love to meet you. I&#8217;ll probably check comments on this post etc Monday n see what&#8217;s up, but the easiest way to meet is to:<span id="more-1045"></span></p>
<p>1) Find me after my presentation on the Keyword Research Artistry panel, on the morning of day 1 (Tuesday, June 2).<br />
2) Look for a guy wearing a kippa (aka yarmulke). There&#8217;s probably just going to be a handful of us afaik, so you shouldn&#8217;t have much difficulty. If you don&#8217;t know what a kippa is, here&#8217;s an <a href="http://seoroi.com/ideas" target='_blank' >idea</a>:</p>
<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3523/3188842081_c192e0408b_m.jpg" alt="Kippa / Yarmulke" /></p>
<p>See also <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=kippa" rel="nofollow">Flickr</a> for some cool shots. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s the little hat the guy is wearing.</p>
<p>For those of you not attending, my <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/Gabriel.Goldenberg/smx-a-09-longtail" rel="nofollow">preso is up on slideshare</a>. It&#8217;s mostly self-explanatory, but I&#8217;ve reserved a number of goodies for the oral/in person part of my preso.</p>

<p>Hey SEO ROI readers &#8211; time for another Friday Photos! Today I&#8217;ve got <a href="http://seoroi.com/analytics/" target='_blank' >analytics</a> stuff for you, advertising tidbits, some interesting/miscellaneous calls-to-action stuff, and some SEO material. This post is filed in the <a href="http://seoroi.com/case-studies/">case studies</a> category fyi.<span id="more-717"></span></p>
<p>SEO ROI Services had its 100,000th visitor this week! I was a bit of a stats hawk and watched my Sitemeter analytics just as the number went from 99,999 to 100,000 (and no, I wasn&#8217;t the 100,000th visitor <img src='http://seoroi.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> ).</p>
<p><img src="http://seoroi.com/pics/friday/march27/analytics-seo-roi-99999.png" alt="Visitor 99,999" /></p>
<p><img src="http://seoroi.com/pics/friday/march27/analytics-seo-roi-100000.png" alt="Visitor 100,000" /></p>
<p>Another little item that was fun to see show up in my logs was another branded search for my content. This person was looking for my item on &#8220;<a href="http://seoroi.com/seo-roi-quality/how-navigation-peekaboo-converts-seo-traffic-better/">Peekaboo Navigation</a>,&#8221; which as you can imagine, isn&#8217;t a generic keyword. These <a href="http://seoroi.com/link-building/3-new-metrics-to-waste-30-more-hours-a-week-on/">branded searches help with link building</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://seoroi.com/pics/friday/march27/brand-search-peekaboo-nav.png" alt="Peekaboo Navigation Branded Search Query" /></p>
<p>Still on the analytics side of thing, while researching for an ad campaign, I found that some networks openly share the referrer data of their publishers. <a href="www.searchenginejournal.com/advertising-scratchpad/9493/ ">Referrer data is useful for retargeting</a>, and also for <a href="http://seoroi.com/seo-consulting-services/link-building-and-popularity/">link building</a> if you&#8217;re a competitor of that publisher!</p>
<p><img src="http://seoroi.com/pics/friday/march27/ad-network-referrer-data.png" alt="Ad Network Shares Publisher's Referrer data" width="504" height="516" /></p>
<p>Sticking with the ad topic, I was stumbling around and got to EbaumsWorld, an entertainment site. I&#8217;m not sure why, but WPromote had banners running there as a roadblock (i.e. they bought all the banner slots)! Additionally, they&#8217;re not even following the <a href="seoroi.com/pay-per-click/easy-succesful-banner-ads-aida/ -">AIDA formula for making banner ads</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://seoroi.com/pics/friday/march27/ads-wpromote-banner.png" alt="WPromote Banner Ads" width="676" height="205" /></p>
<p>By contrast, the Conservative Party of Canada have a self-deprecating banner on their site that does use AIDA, directing youth to join the party. You&#8217;re already there, so they&#8217;ve got your interest, there&#8217;s attention because of the headshot and then desire/action are generated by the simple slogan, &#8220;Freak Out Your Roommate. Join The CPC.&#8221; IMHO, they&#8217;d convert more visitors if the following page stuck to the roommate line, but telling folks they can freak out their ex-girlfriends works too!</p>
<p><img src="http://seoroi.com/pics/friday/march27/ads-cpc-onsite-banners-aida-roommie.png" alt="Conservative Party Banner Ads" /></p>
<p><img src="http://seoroi.com/pics/friday/march27/ads-cpc-onsite-banners-aida-exgf.png" alt="Freak out your ex CPC banner" /></p>
<p>Speaking of taking action, I noticed this social call-to-action area and thought it was visually pretty yet simple, so I thought I&#8217;d share it.</p>
<p><img src="http://seoroi.com/pics/friday/march27/blog-social-cta.png" alt="Social call to action" /></p>
<p>I also liked Microsoft&#8217;s ad for its <a href="http://seoroi.com/social/">social media</a> accelerators, which you can use in your IE8 browser to go direct to <a href="http://seoroi.com/facebook" target='_blank' >Facebook</a> (which MSFT partly owns) Digg (which MSFT supplies ads to) etc. Smart! The only thing that wasn&#8217;t clear was what the Windows logo was there for, since it appears the other accelerator is for Live Search, not Windows Operating System.</p>
<p><img src="http://seoroi.com/pics/friday/march27/microsoft-social-accelerators.png" alt="Microsoft Social Media Accelerators" /></p>
<p>On the same topic, an ad encouraging people to buy Acai Berry garbage &#8211; which features testimonials of a dubious legitimacy &#8211; lead to a lander with this hidden, weasel-legal language:</p>
<p><img src="http://seoroi.com/pics/friday/march27/scammy-disclaimer.png" alt="Weasel Legal Disclaimer on Acai Berry" width="908" height="499" /></p>
<p>On a related note, whoever designed the FTC&#8217;s website didn&#8217;t engineer the complaints page to maximize click-throughs to their complaints form. Your eye moves down this text column, separated by a long vertical bar from the neighbouring one. The <a href="https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/">actual button to get to their complaint form is on the right hand column</a>, which fast-scanning readers like me would miss, causing them to give up!</p>
<p><img src="http://seoroi.com/pics/friday/march27/usability-ftc.png" alt="Usability FTC" width="292" height="324" /></p>
<p>While we&#8217;re on the topic of getting users to submit content, how about this request for reviews I got from Amazon? Pretty simple and to the point, in my books, so it likely works well. Plus it boosts their site&#8217;s usability, I&#8217;m sure. The only problem? I never opted in. <a href="http://seoroi.com/case-studies/brand-building-online#contrast">Amazon isn&#8217;t only broken</a>, they&#8217;re spammy too!</p>
<p><img src="http://seoroi.com/pics/friday/march27/usability-amazon-review-email.png" alt="Amazon Video Reviews" width="640" height="523" /></p>
<p><img src="http://seoroi.com/pics/friday/march27/usability-amazon-review-email-vid.png" alt="Amazon Send Us Reviews Email" width="632" height="176" /></p>
<p><img src="http://seoroi.com/pics/friday/march27/usability-amazon-review-spam.png" alt="Amazon Spam Email" /></p>
<p>Getting back to basics and sticking strictly to SEO, did you know you could get <a href="http://seoroi.com/seo-roi-quality/measure-distribution-to-project-content-focused-link-building/">distribution</a> by default via Twitter? This is what I was talking about in my SMX West presentation in reference to Portals 2.0. Highly useful for link building, particularly with linkbait.</p>
<p><img src="http://seoroi.com/pics/friday/march27/twitter-default-distribution.png" alt="Twitter Default Distribution" /></p>
<p>On that note, here&#8217;s an interesting recent screenshot that shows how valuable exact match domains are, both for the boost Google grants them, and for the superior links you can build. Quality beats quantity.</p>
<p><img src="http://seoroi.com/pics/friday/march27/domains-exact-match-beats-more-links.png" alt="Exact Match Domains Quality Beats Quantity" /></p>
<p>That said, some people are clearly very effective at launching sites with a massive [whitehat] content strategy.</p>
<p><img src="http://seoroi.com/pics/friday/march27/pagewise-content-network.png" alt="PageWise Tens of Thousands 10000s Pages Per Site" /></p>
<p>Finally, some amusing items from Google. First, they called me a Kunt. Or maybe that was an Obama-esque Yes I <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate_t?hl=en&amp;sl=en&amp;tl=fr#nl|en|kunt">&#8220;Can,&#8221; in Dutch</a>? Second, they need to SEO their AdWords FAQ. Third, their submarine crawling seems to have outfoxed itself by crawling my search form and &#8220;discovering&#8221; content that wasn&#8217;t there. I&#8217;m not cloaking anything, so it really beats me how they got that snippet, when the landing page shows no posts.</p>
<p><img src="http://seoroi.com/pics/friday/march27/google-kunt.png" alt="Google says I'm a Kunt" /></p>

<p>You all know I hate <a href="http://seoroi.com/blackhat" target='_blank' >spam</a> email. And chances are you get annoyed by those too. <strong>But people don&#8217;t have a problem with opt-in email newsletters &#8230; or do they? Here&#8217;s an April Fools trick to get your friends spammed by legitimate email newsletters! <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/78/225457158_bb9c6269c6_m.jpg" alt="Jester" align="left" /><br />
<small><img src="http://seoroi.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-flickr-manager/images/creative_commons_bw.gif" alt="Attribution-NonCommercial License" /> by <a href="http://www.gleefulgecko.com/">Tancread</a></small><br />
</strong><span id="more-693"></span></p>
<p>Perhaps subliminally inspired by <a href="http://seoroi.com/case-studies/friday-photos/">Air Canada&#8217;s opt-out spam emails</a>, I&#8217;ve come up with a way to <strong><em>opt-in your friends to those legitimate newsletters that use a double opt-in</em></strong> technique! You can co-opt legitimate companies with non-spam email newsletters, into sending spam to your friends!</p>
<p>Here are the steps to play this April Fool&#8217;s Prank on your friends.</p>
<p>1. Create a dummy email account.</p>
<p>2. Sign up for a bunch of email newsletters.</p>
<p>3. Login to your email.</p>
<p>4. Open the newsletter opt-in confirmation emails and click the confirmation links.</p>
<p>5. During the week preceding April 1st, forward the dummy email account to your friend&#8217;s email.</p>
<p>Imagine your friend&#8217;s surprise when all these legit-looking newsletters flood their inbox on April 1st! &#8220;Dude, WTF?!&#8221; Of course, unless you&#8217;re a jerk, you should immediately unforward the address after the 1st, which will have the effect of removing your friend&#8217;s email address from all those people&#8217;s lists.</p>
<p>To me this is more fun theory than practice, and perhaps an email expert might point out that this doesn&#8217;t work for some reason. But the creativity aspect of coming up with this kind of sneakiness is amusing to me <img src='http://seoroi.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Kind of like my <a href="http://seoroi.com/category/greyhat-seo/">greyhat seo</a> posts&#8230;</p>
<p>P.S. If you like this post, I&#8217;d be grateful for you to link to it from your blog, website, Myspace page, <a href="http://seoroi.com/facebook" target='_blank' >Facebook</a> profile/group, even your own internal company email newsletter <img src='http://seoroi.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  ! Here&#8217;s simple html code you can copy-paste: &lt;a href=&#8221;http://seoroi.com/fun/april-fools-internet-marketers&#8221; rel=&#8221;"&gt;April Fool&#8217;s Email Prank, by SEO ROI Services&lt;/a&gt; .<span class="status-body"><span class="entry-content"><br />

<p>I&#8217;m accumulating a list of beefs I have with the current iteration of the site and am already at over 20 grievances. I would love to hear your problems with the site. Nothing is too small or too big or too trivial or too stupid. Often the &#8216;stupid&#8217; <a href="http://seoroi.com/ideas" target='_blank' >ideas</a> are the million dollar &#8220;<em>Why didn&#8217;t I think of that</em>?&#8221; ideas. </p>
<p><strong>Great </strong>answers <em>get a free download of my super secret PPC plugin for managing multiple landing pages off a single wordpress minisite</em>. Plus you can have the <strong>satisfaction of seeing your ideas implemented in the redesign</strong> <img src='http://seoroi.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>Also, the title&#8217;s questions are just a starting point. Feel free to recommend plugins, highlight usability problems, suggest superior seo tactics, advocate for how I should use the header space currently taken up by varying taglines/testimonials (besides the search bar), different graphics, different conversion paths/tactics &#8230; anything! </p>
<p>UPDATE: In response to complaints about the font, I changed a global style in the stylesheet so the first font listed in the font family reads &#8220;Arial&#8221;. Please tell me if this is easier for you to read!</p>

<p>&#8220;Email spammers just want a little home on the web.&#8221;</p>
<p>Which conjured to me an image like this:</p>

<p>On a more serious note, Matt&#8217;s video is really terrific and I encourage everyone to watch it for the sake of protecting your site(s).<br />
