anyone got any suggestion where i can bone up on some stuff before my interview tomorrow? Only search engine approved stuff, no blackhat haha.
 


Read all the posts in all 3 postwhore threads. There are some great tips in there.

Good luck on your interview, all I know about SEO is changing unique content and good backlinks.
 
oh yeah, just look through thoughsands of posts haha i would still be in their next week, but i think it is gunna be a lot of content rewriting for the site and some link organization and also he wants to try some linkbait strategies.

havent asked but im kinda doing it to gain seo skills cause i think itll only be for a few months,


one thing i noticed in the job tasks was
*Allowing search engine spiders to crawl pages without session IDs,
cookies, or logging in.

thats one thing i was like heh? cause i dont have any sites with members, any resources for that? Thanks to everyone so far
 
webmaster world does that. They allow the google spider to crawl the members only pages, but when you try to go to the link it asks you to sign up. Similar to cloaking. Don't know how they do it, but that might be a start for you.
 
Kaveman, be sure to show them how you and I rank #1 in google for the jdog and kaveman show. They are sure to hire you.

The New York Times website does it to, and its not similar to cloaking, it is cloaking. Really big publishers are the only ones that can get away with it.
 
Let him know that he is risking being penalized and/or banned. The BH guys get away with it for a while, but they are not shooting for long term.

That's funny! I am thinking now to apply for a job as internet marketing director, as they call it so nicely, within my corporation available at the moment. This person needs to set up link building campaigns, implementing seo strategies, etc. But not sure if I am going to do that, because I am affraid that they will ask for previous job experience with other companies which I don't have. My experience is with my own company & projects which I still do part-time and learned things by myself without following courses...! For sure people like us have often more experience, knowledge etc. then those people working within a company doing seo & internet marketing stuff. But more hard to prove for us that we might be better candidates I guess... :)
 
I imagine as an SEO employee you can pull the same kinds of things these SEO firms do,

"I now have you ranking #1 on google now, just do a search for 'colostomy bags in northern michigan'" Now you will need to pay me $10,000 a month so I can work really hard to keep your #1 ranking on Google."
