Killing Two Birds with One Stone – Knol Tackles Wikipedia and Squidoo

pittfall — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 03:42:11 +0000

“Knol” stands for a unit of knowledge, according to the Official Google Blog. Here are some highlights on Google’s new project: The challenge posed to us was to find a way to help people share their knowledge. This is our main goal. The key idea behind the knol project is to highlight authors. Books have authors’ names [...]

A Note on Wikipedia – The Social Encyclopedia

pittfall — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 02:36:27 +0000

Once again Wikipedia is getting buzz from educators and marketers alike. Linda O’Connor regards Wikipedia the same way former first lady Nancy Reagan campaigned against drugs. She urges people to “Just Say No.” The Great Meadows (N.J.) Middle School librarian hasn’t been a fan of the online encyclopedia for years. This fall, she decided it was time to [...]

Did Google Drop the Open Directory

pittfall — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 19:58:46 +0000

Just about four weeks ago I posted about the plight of a fellow blogger named Shoemoney and an alleged extortion attempt by a proclaimed editor of the directory. Now, I have not been exactly defending the open directory in its value with the major search engines like Ask, Google, MSN and Yahoo (in alphabetical order [...]

DMOZ – Still Sucks and Now with Extortion!

pittfall — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 19:19:04 +0000

In one of my most popular posts in the short existence of SEOpittfall.com “Why DMOZ Sucks and Wikipedia is Nothing More Than a Blog”, I had some very direct comments regarding the Open Directory Project: DMOZ is a wonderful idea, however, it is inherently flawed. I must say that I would have to rephrase some of the [...]

Balanced Link Building

pittfall — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 03:23:35 +0000

A link is not just a link, they are much more than just a simple way to move from one page to another. Rather, Links are the glue of the Internet! Yeah, yeah, yeah… you’ve heard this before, haven’t you? Then, in the next breathe, you will hear, “content is king!” Right? Really, links are the glue [...]

MyBlogLog – SMO Tool

pittfall — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 02:31:31 +0000

MyBlogLog has become a very influential aspect of SMO, social media optimization. What is SMO? Social Media Optimization (SMO) is a way to optimize web sites so they would be more easily connected or interlaced with online communities and community websites, also called social media sites. Methods of SMO include adding RSS feeds, adding a “Digg [...]

Why DMOZ Sucks and Wikipedia is Nothing More Than a Blog

pittfall — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 01:53:42 +0000

As I have researched over the years on search engines and the value of directories and “valuable resources” on the web, I have found two things that are self-evident. DMOZ is a wonderful idea, however, it is inherently flawed. Wikipedia is a collection of information that is biased and should carry considerably less value than is given. DMOZ [...]

Wikipedia Goes to No Follow

pittfall — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 04:00:20 +0000

Hooray for those of you who have been competing with others that have either been competing with another website or group of websites that are listed in Wikipedia. Wikipedia has gone to “nofollow” tags for all external links. I first heard the news from Carsten at Search Engine Journal. So, what does this mean? This means that [...]

Wikiasari Community Search

pittfall — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 02:02:00 +0000

Wikiasari Community Search “Search is part of the fundamental infrastructure of the Internet. And, it is currently broken. Why is it broken? It is broken for the same reason that proprietary software is always broken: lack of freedom, lack of community, lack of accountability, lack of transparency. Here, we will change all that. There have been [...]
