Recent Search Engine Optimization and Squidoo Help pages
I’ve done some writing about getting found in Google today, this week. Also – a different method to use Amazon feeds.
Last: Google surprises: Changes in the Google SERPS Oct. 2010. These changes are quite significant – so pay attention.
Recent: Proving our urgency as online publishers. This post is really about what it takes to make it LONG TERM as an online publisher.
Earlier last week I made a lens about using Amazon RSS feeds that do not contain someone elses Amazon ID. I’ve since learned that it seems Amazon will not track those sales to your ID, if you use them on Squidoo or some other site they suspect you don’t own. This makes the RSS feeds pretty much useless if true. Though I’m also looking in on how to use them on blogs. Anyhow, I’m testing this – and will let you know. For now I advise using either fluf’s feeds, or the amazon modules squidoo provides. On hubpages, use their amazon widgets.
