As it appears not only or your website a toprating gets, but you fall also yet once on through the beautiful sterretjes. I took the proof on the sum and yes hear, it works!

screenshot-time-timhuijbers-star

I saw Test want to see this last in an article on SEOMoz true Google by the missing results of the seeking to Craft Dummies the site with sterretjes in the description of the site. I found it well nice and have this also once tried by my own site.

Through the use of the ASCII code of a star crack (★) in your description tag will the spiders this indices and nicely reproduce in the results. You go find now thus on missing to Tim Huijbers via Google then you in my description, originating from the description tag, thus a ★ in the result.

Puy yourself on the internet, online profiling

(Sorry, this is an old post which is automatically translated from Dutch to (D) English by Google Translate/SDL)

In part 3 of this series over the characterizing of yourself on internet, either online personal surf, I go to set again further at the same time a number of tips and experiences yourself positive on the card, to understand the internet-card well.

Might personal surf new for you be, read Present then also even part 1 over Online Personal Surf – yourself on internet and part 2 with a continuation thereupon over Online Personal Surf (part 2).

Firstly I want want to return yet just on a beautiful definition and definition of personal surf on Carriertijger. nl. According to their is personal surf:

Yourself present as a brand at others, by which you depict positive and associates calls up..

You must thus difference take advantage in who you are through to make of your knowledge and experience and through the putting in of your personality. With this can your colleagues, friends, customers and employers let see who you are and for which your state. Especially now men fast can seek who you are and what you do (for instance via Wieowie. nl, can you almost no longer without a good profilering of yourself, or in every case a checked profilering.

They come then also on the abc for personal surf:
* Separately – you Dare to distinguish of the rest
* Trustworthy – Care for a constant factor on which men can build
* Congruent – Agreement in the things that you do

These count compete all also for online personal surf. In the previous parts, you wanted to come of this already much past. In the pieces saw your information over how you you must distinguish to respect of the rest, you saw how your agreement gets in the information that offered becomes and how a trustworthy radiation and professional radiation can be created.,

The advantage of internet is that we burst of the networks and the possibilities round these out to knit. Next that we our networks via sites as Hyves (informal, social) as via LinkedIn (centering, concise) or on comparable sites uitbereiden, can you yourself also characterize via networks of sites as Nujij and eKudos. They offer in such a way the possibility round next to the seeking and mail of nieuwsitems, interest groups on to set, by which you each other news easily can read, (and each other naturally vote can give). Also with this bring prevent you your name a stiff further in the internet world.

Yet weller be will the information than all that social media sites normally that you set must now everywhere on and must divide with friends, in 1 slap can divide. Her is meanwhile well an engelstalige tool for, namely Noserub, these have I self however not yet tested.

Otherwise you can find a beautiful survey of social media sites from the Netherlands you on Monlog.

Until end over digital networks have you also yet Twitter of which you fast once in a while heard have, I get well how you also this would be able to put in as online personal surf, but I find Twitter irritating and vague, happy am I not the only!

What concerned personal surf in its generality appeared there such other half soak ago an article over Putting Your Best Cyberface Forward by which they also enter into the letting see of you digital I, how present you yourself on the internet. Probably has the editing a Dutchman in service that my article Online Personal Surf – Present yourself on internet just read had;)

The article goes over the fact, that we actual every day already at profilering do, we want us always already distinguish. Do not be it through us work, is then the well through our behavior or even our appearance.

It goes around all the perception through others, how sees one us. Does this not become however on internet a to pieces with difficulty, first impressions become quite different than one you see, but clicks on the first result in Google, would think what you as you for instance on my name Tim Huijbers googled?

It stretch yet best difference in how one this takes, for according to Mark R. Leary (doctor Psychology) its there men that right look at what one want to see, which target group want you reach. Also its there men that just look at where she in want to be and let these points right see. For my feeling is a combi of both the best, use your strong sides and speak the target group at that you want reach.

Is it must go honestly be well with difficulty how far you in it, lie when you over particular knowledge and knowledge and when it is yet the truth (late stand credible)? There are men that join with all hypes, the newest hippe applicaties of Hyves put in, self the Matrix, Tom Cruise or beauty Queen Beyonce name, but what are she in reality?

Ups and downs to my opinion in honest in the things that your online says, does and writes. Naturally its positive experiences tremendously made much of and are enclosed is negative points a little bit, but that then also a part of your online personal surf, or impression management. It is also the intention there good out to see, to let see for which you stand and what you gladly does. How your men can help, wants help and with which this would can. A little bit over the top may fall then also, but there not over!

The article ends to fit with the tip your profilering per target group on, but actual you do this by itself. You most place after all your photograph in 3-delig do not seize set as a profile photograph on Hyves, you not your photograph with you as winning chess-champion on Lexa and your move certainly no coole beach photograph on your LinkedIn. Well has the article resemble in the idea that your relevance information must let see at the target group. Ups and downs thus selective in the information that you want to see and late this depend of the target group that it reads or the target for which it serves.

Until ends over the article is an amusing quote of Paris Hilton well nice. As see you that they rather over other men back itself characterizes then own qualities to use, although, perhaps is this well usual a (slechte).. quality of her:

“All you property of to Thu in life is go harden closed out with your friends, party and twice axis good”

Update 15/1/2007
Of Tom Schooled yet an interesting article found in which he the emphasis lays on the underestimating of yourself as brand in the market set and he has it with name over social media networks (as I up here also name).,.

Before you will move

1) Analyze your web analytics data

Also must you in the holes hold that your profilering in many cases a win-win situation will must yield. Men its lunatic on networks, but as you this alone for yourself do not does works then it. Mostly is this a natural trial because men within your own field just such vakidioten will be as you yourself, but want your forced contacts, care then that you also something interesting to offer have.

My reason round an own (and personal) weblog on to start and so only online personal surf in to set is actual because of various reasons; the letting see of myself, the experience and my opinion on an own website round also around it with men to talk that the same interests have.

tipsvooroptimalisatie_searchenginesround

Reflects before you begin

Before you begin after thinking about how or what must you firstly stand still by the ‘about which’ of the site. This counts as well for a site of yourself as that of customers. Think for instance once of the next questions:

1) What is the motivation optimize behind the wanting of the website. What do you want reach with this and want reach what you with the site in the general? (For instance: more visitors, higher conversion, more sales, more surf etc.) Fixed beforehand the general motivation of as well the existence of the site as of the optimalisatie.

Has 2) there been rounded off must be a deadline when the optimalisatie and has been obtained must be there a milestone when one beforehand particular objectives?

3) An expenses/avail analysis, or minimally a survey of the budget for the optimalisatie.

Before you begin with the optimizing must you firstly know what the present contribution is of the missing machines at your objectives, also must you know how missing machine ‘compatible’ the site on this moment is. With this can you the objectives sharpen and get your more view on how the site on this moment performs.

Begin thus with the analyzing of the website on a number of points, by which you take the basis rules in eight, (and these possibly deepens and analyzes) and use for this also existing web analytics packages.
- Structure of the present site
- Popularity of the pages
- Tekstuele content of the site
- Presentation in missing machines

From this analysis, a report can stem then with recommendations for the optimizing of the site. This is well dependent on the extent in which a site optimized must become (new site, divide optimize etc), but the focussed you on the present challenges that there on the territory of optimalisatie lie.

Also can you with this report indicate, about which one at SEO should do, (directed on SER and SEA, dependent on the objectives) and what the chances are. (SWOT).

19) With which 20 missing words (or missing word combinations / meditate) expects the customer the business or the website of it to find?

20) What are largest competitors of the business or the site (as for service/product self, but also as for missing word possibilities). What are their url’s and the stab words that they use in their missing machine marketing?

21) Who are the belanghebbe of the site, have report is which participations they (or do not object to they have) and how you to they (and this your responsibility?)

24) What does expectations have the customer of the optimalisatie project (right at objectives?) and be she realistically?

Through the answering of these ask (with name 5 till and with 15) give your understanding in how complex the project becomes and which impact the optimalisatie will have. With these want to ask your understanding in how many work there necessarily is the present site to optimize for missing machines, you an example to give:

When pages use many flash or javascript menus then are they very difficult to indices. Do you have to fit then the possibility these menus on, your sitemaps can implement and how you measure actual or the customers formerly well further came then the first pages? Also can the being, that it little text stand on the site, is the granted these at to fill and with which information will you that then can do?

tipsvooroptimalisatie_expense changes

This first analysis help you beforehand understanding to give in the time and the expenses that this project with self with will bring. Especially when you for customers an optimalisatie tracject through will walk is it essentially the customer wish customer interests clear to have and can give can be the customer clear at what their expectations (and may). They say is the half work’ nothing for nothing ‘a good beginning.

The questions must answer give on the who, what, about which, when, with which and it how (we know the marketing W yet wel..). As can we fixed what the most relevant and logical stab words (missing words in missing machines) be with which we the site want to optimize, as well as which missing machines the site would must indices (and that we possible a hand must help).

Until end will you thus the makkelijst a checklist can make that you end, for instance by the checking of a present website, but also with points that up here have been named. With this information, I pushed yourself possibly a step in the good direction to make self such list. With such list can you then also easily check whether the target what you for eyes have also matched with what the customer for eyes has.,. We ought to begin thus firstly with the optimizing of the optimalisatie trial!

And now you may do finally your work

Now you know what the motivation and objectives behind the SEO of the website be, your view have on the competitors and the market in which they operate, you an analysis have of the present site and the vindbaarheid of the content on the site in the missing machines and how many work the expense (money and time) the site to optimize for missing machines, can you finally loose and do where In are!

Pagerank leaking on a structured manner

(Sorry, this is an old post which is automatically translated from Dutch to (D) English by Google Translate/SDL)

According to my friend, I am what recalcitrant and that appeared now also again with the article on SEOMoz over link praise (linkjuice).

They lay in this from how you can prevent that your pagerank leaks to wrong pages (internal or externally), but I find the article actual nothing more than an open door already be the plates well skilful for beginning SEO’ ers.

I am no guru, but only experience have I surely and so find I that each SEO’ on it here its slightest once over thought should have, but the article on SEOMoz (in my eyes really a good site) is really not really profoundly. Well find I the well enough there a short Dutch variant on to write, perhaps that someone else self then again refractair can behave and me can criticize;)?

This video have is False gotten I (neat as below plates) from the original item The Juice by SEOMoz. This item is look further no translation only someone else on these plates, thus might you the original article want to read then must you just to SEOMoz self closed go.

The leaking of Pagerank happened on many manners and results in the leaking (or actual in the unorganized pass) of the tendril of the concerning site/page. Through the leaking give your Pagerank through at the wrong pages within your site, that possibly totally no high ranking necessarily have, (for instance contact page or the sitemap).,.

In the first example, page A indicates only linkjuice through at page B, on self nothing been wrong.

PAGERANKLEKKEN1

If you then a number of links add is the obviously that it more juice leaked becomes (the new pages get also what) and less to the pages that already linked became. Until so far logical (this remains ultimately the principle of the internet).

PAGERANKLEKKEN2

Go we the pages after which we link now classify in interesting (important) and less important pages (boring/useless) then want we not the pagerank pass at the less important pages, but concentrate we us rather on the passing of linkjuice at the top (most important) pages. That happened in the survey below thus not, everybody gets eveneel ‘juice’.

PAGERANKLEKKEN3

Through use to make of the riot-tag (nofollow) can we indicate that the less important pages no juice may receive of the referende page than the important pages. This means not that these pages not climbed will become or complete from missing machines are held, but just that appearance becomes the pagerank at the wrong pages by giving. As the right page gets more linkjuice and the wrong pages no. See below.

PAGERANKLEKKEN4

Where I well my doubts yet by have is the part ‘receive’ (retainend linkjuice). It remains yet a discussion point or the page to where you link also of interest is for your own ranking. With other words; serves an useful purpose link to important pages also for your own pages. It appears namely well so, but hard prove have I self not yet. Although I well an own site have, that many refers to a number known large sites and that now also high scores for keywords concerning that sites (even on the name of the concerning sites). If someone here real proof for has hold then I myself recommended.

Otherwise were recalcitrant and be part refractair my 2 leather moments of today (= recalcitrant), that normal not of my standard vocabulary;).

Online Personal Surfing – Present yourself on internet

(Sorry, this is an old post which is automatically translated from Dutch to (D) English by Google Translate/SDL)

Yourself put down is as a brand very important in the world of consultancy. Not so much only the awareness of yourself as brand, but more your unique qualities and though than not a combination of this.

Now is the internet a simple and good place yourself to characterize and also a spot which this yet use has also. Men go to find often first the internet on more information over a particular person, often as well for personal as concise information.

screenshot_googletimhuijbersresults

The comings of missing machines have the term ‘ontgooglen’ (see for instance the website of Jeroen. com), but perhaps want you yourself just not ontgooglen only right ingooglen, or sees to just the good see to for an online personal surf it just well for that you yourself good in the missing machines place and immediately also ontgoogled?

As an example, I can take myself. Since somewhere in the years 90 I can see myself already as a large user of the internet. Internet came toendertijd just on and you held you then yet busy with music (mp3), films, download, online gaming etc. Only as soon as you actual realized that all that information An amusing example of this is the time, that I yet an own online webwinkel had and an opruiming did on the website Xboxworld. nl, a community for Xbox owners. Do only I sit to wait seeks well on this result at the top Google as one on Tim Huijbers?

Intermediary wrote not promote a number back of months all an article over the subject phenomenon ‘yourself on internet (I can this unfortunately find again on the internet). Silly enough was I for that reason all busy busy with the idea how I myself wanted to characterize on the internet and was this article of Intermediary defense an affirmation that I not the only was that with this busy was.

Does the url come uses from my first name and that as an abbreviation, nice nietwaar? The weblog stands now already on the 2e and 3e spot in Google. Space for improvement or a stiff hard ‘ontgoogling’ thus!

Hopefully have you something at this article once after thinking about how you yourself can and will characterize on the internet. Already can there even reasons its about which you that would not want. You want look has been concerned gladly once what your present figure what your present Online Personal Surf, the calculator of Career Distinction verify then once.

Google Trends reveals your holiday feeling

(Sorry, this is an old post which is automatically translated from Dutch to (D) English by Google Translate/SDL)

Google Trends gives various interesting information by which your all sorts of analyses do can and it let can thus also lovely theories on loose.

As I have self a site over holiday house and now next month the holiday book again come out have I once looked at when according to Google Trends men on missing go to a hotel now, notwithstanding that their favorite holiday country rent and or they now a car’ tje or leave well with own transportation to their apartment.

Thanks to Google know I thus already where my neighbor this year on holiday goes, what kind of a color bikini its woman have on, about which he only on the beach lies and which karaoke songs he sings in the local karaoke-bar.,.

theinternetmarketeernl_image1

Might your Google Trends (further GT named) not yet know; With GT (see Google Trends) can your missing volumes see that particular missing words generate. This can turn off you then with several missing terms against each other and compare thus. Through the graphic reproduction, you mutually can compare these volumes easy and find thus the trend line in this simple (then know you also at the same time why the GT am called).

The filters that you closed can fit be also various, but I directed me as for missing volumes alone on the Netherlands and as to see is in the 1e screenshot of GT. In this graphics see you that for the missing words holiday house and holiday house it a peak is in the December month and that it a peak act including run-up in the summer months.,.

theinternetmarketeernl_image2

Look at we the year 2006 (2007 is after all not yet complete) then can I with only creativity from this all the e. e. a. conclude, for instance that in December one in a short period massive on seek goes to a holiday house., possibly fed through the coming out of new trip guide (crossmediaal!). Perhaps the dark days help near it also yet a hand.

Can see or posts can analyze one in both periods also holidays we this missing word also.

theinternetmarketeernl_image3

Without extensive analysis can you already conclude that one in the same months as before named their holidays post and or it now really a direct connection consists between these missing words, that is the question only it stretch well in both a clear equal trend!,

This trend will then also to see must be by the travel agencies that these travel post. I have therefore a number of known travel agencies against each other uitgezet. Amusingly is besides that if your here Belgium as country selects that Thomas Cook tremendously high state and seize you the Netherlands only then lie the lines a to pieces closer to each other.

theinternetmarketeernl_image4

Also here see we that it clear tops sit in the same 2 periods as before named. Silly enough its men in holiday interested do not receive when they their holiday money (in the months April and May), apparently exam periods men not immediately their holiday money on to make at a holiday, but have they that already posted, or wait they on a burden minute.

When one which holiday posts winter sport or zonvakantie, you cannot say immediately. Of that ought to see we the statistics of the travel agencies self, view only once to the following plate of GT.

theinternetmarketeernl_image5

Here see you already that men do not indicate in December on missing to be to more info over the beach, but that they than massive on missing are to information the winter from now sport and the snow. The other way round one do not sit to seek in the summer in the Netherlands to snow and winter sport, but sit with their thought by warmer places. The connection here do not sit him thus in the posting of the holiday and the on missing be to more information of about this, but is (open door) natural seizoensgebonden.

Where go all that men then to on holiday? Also with this can romp you nicely in Google Trends. I have the Netherlands omitted as holiday country because these far above the rest stuck out a little naturally not only with holiday to make has (already let the graphics that well a peak in the summer months see, thus well seizoensgebonden). Also England have I omitted because that missing word surprising little volumes have generated to respect of other countries.

theinternetmarketeernl_image6

Without looking yet further we fixed without large investigation the top 5 of holiday country from 2006:
• France
• Belgie
• Germany
• Italie
• Spain

It resembles there besides that Italie strengthen in the news became come around that period, considering the tops, that these volumes have in other countries, probably must here number 4 and 5 about that turned.

Further to go with the relations to respect of earlier graphics then see we also again here the tops in the summer vacations return, all well to expect, but apparently seeks one really nicely firstly yet what information on over the country where they away on holiday want to go, but do they no preliminary investigation or the country well amusing on the moment that they the holiday post, for in December see We no single peak, although when I the emphasis with on the winter sport land want to see we really suddenly an interesting movement in December.

theinternetmarketeernl_image7

If we then till end everything with each other lay that can you below already see that the average student eager in summer on the beach lies in Lloret the Mar and that he or they that gladly with a cheap busreis to goes, but actual of alcohol nothing wants know, as for information then.

Loan well that this kind of pronunciations naturally dangerous are, but I expected not that men massive in the summer information over Lloret verify then for the winter meanwhile the busreis to post and around the fall just verify how much they at most can drink, during that beach holiday, but good, also that is a theory.

theinternetmarketeernl_image8

Google most level according to me no logaritmes toepast so that we also missing words with high volumes from can set against words with low volumes, for sometimes arises there through a combination 1 law line that about on the x-axis lies meanwhile the 2e missing word a beautiful line late see.

Otherwise there are to discover at the same time particular combinations well beautiful trends. Who dares after the seeing of below plate yet to enfeeble that men, that a holiday house in Spain posted have, massive with the cabrio direction the beach leave?

theinternetmarketeernl_image9

Altogether there is to be played thus a hope and is the best manner this good to use to get there jumble other factors by. In this case naturally your own marketing effort (do you many at marketing, then will you also higher tops expect in that periods that you that does). A country comes high will score in the news then these also very in that period. Compare the outcomes once with the missing words with which men on your site and store come in and try once conclusions to pull. Who knowledge you can experiment yet what and are prevent you a step dichterbij the ultimate optimalisatie of your marketing strategy.

Problem with Google’s -30 and -950 penalty

(Sorry, this is an old post which is automatically translated from Dutch to (D) English by Google Translate/SDL)

If I somewhere well well in am is optimize the over-of a website. That sounds would say negative you, was now not as an A) this not the intention, is B) the observed, is C) it again a stiff experience and solved will become D) this naturally, is the intention at least that;).

After a complete re-design and removal of provider of 1 of my largest websites (60,000 uniquely / 700,000 views) appeared it that my SEO skills the good did, however appeared the items, that already good scored for the re-design, now by the optimalisatie blow over-optimized to be, time for a step back!

screenshot_google_google950serps

The tips that I your will give stand below processes in what information the I obtained after a shorten stiff research or from own experience. As you see in the screenshot up here gives Google about 2.5 million results as you seek on ‘Google 950′, but who looks now further then the first 30 (euh 10…).

As tells Wouter for instance that you normally must wait and that it self then by itself solved, just shorten said of my side. Unfortunately am I not so patient, believe I also not that sites just again higher tendrils and go I no 6 months wait. Well well that he unique content names, unfortunately stretch an own publisher it not in (that is where the most content of my own site on directed is). Also the tips of Patrick have been directed unfortunately a little bit on reset your computer and try it yet once. I was all even fearfully that Dutch blogs not further come then this, but fortunately has CHAPTER42 well a little useful ideas and affirm they my introduction over the idea that over-optimalisatie not negative needed to be.

Are the tips prevent in the rear really also what standard, or I do now normally too with difficulty? Good I will her is a number on a row set, unfortunately remain they rather standard (until now closed), maarja so difficult is SEM/SEO thus now also again not!

  • Care for unique content
  • Design for visitors
  • Care for a good website structure (a good theming and archiving)
  • Optimize keywords on a natural manner (use related words)
  • Get relevant and waardevolle inbound links

On Threadwatch, Digitalghost of ‘My Site Sucks Axes And Google Just Figured It speaks Out’ in the article over Google’s mostly occurring penalty. I do not know or you also immediately the stab in your heart feel, but I would speak rather of ‘My Site Rocks and I Fucked plain fizzy Drink My SEO’, also not pleasant, but the truths is hard.


Google Gods Measured talk Cutts over the 30 / 950 penalty

After the comments of Measures Cutt go I again further at the same time a post on Webmasterworld that this penalty also discuss, but da’s for men that times over have, considering the enormous rags text well an aardigde discussion otherwise.,. As comes there a new (comparable) row of tips by.

  • Care for valide and clean (HTML-) code.
  • Investigation present (possible double) content
  • Try on-way direct left (with the right anchor text) to get to the content
  • Do not use surplus paid left on your site
  • Check your competitors or they no content of your gekopieerd have
  • Avoided pages with equal Title tags or with many agreements (also in the content).
  • Avoided left to bad sites (or dead person left) and verify some reciprocal links, possibly link they already no longer to you.
  • Care for links from related sites that NOT in the top 100 of Google stand for the concerning keywords (the keywords that optimized have on the concerning page

A part of the tips come from the comment of Measures of Cut’s over this over optimalization penalty. A beautiful remark over Phrase Based optimization (lung tail, multiple keywords) state in a
Other article on Seroundtable
by which indicated becomes not only over optimalisatie of keywords to prevent, but also that of multiple keywords or theming (latent symantic indexing).

Finally yet what misunderstandings around these ‘penalty’, perhaps you have there self yet more.

  • It is no penalty, remains climb you after all and stand sometimes your by itself defense in the top. Only definitive defense in the top to remain is well what energy necessary.
  • Your entire site do not gets can go a penalty, it only round 1 page (probably in your eyes well an important page)
  • Do not take surplus measures in 1 turn. (Here) Optimize in steps with large tussenpauzes so that you not again over-optimaliseerd or walk to nought does through new decisions (think of certainly a number soak until 2 months)
  • Your pagerank is not to change necessary. My page has a PR of 3, and the positions fluctuate from the top 10, the top 30 till at page 11 (either the + 30 and +950/1000 drop off).

Finally can we conclude that we just a step back must do in our SEO urge. The users more centrally put and optimize our pages of users, not missing machines. Did only surreptitiously we know this everything really already?

Hopefully you can do with this information more at your own results. As soon as I self results have will after the implementing of these tips I my results place in a new article here on The Internet Marketeer. NL.
