Mr SEO Jingle - BlackBerry Pearl

Nov 30

I have to admit 99.9% of my listeners love the Mr SEO podcast jingle. I just got my hands on the new Blackberry Pearl. Now I can hear that good old … ” It’s Mr SEO Joe Balestrinoooooo… YEAH!”, every time my phone rings..woho!

I am sure my finance is ready to kill me at this point. Any one have any good ideas for other cool ringetones or wallpapers for the Pearl? Let me know. If you want the mp3 of the Mr SEO jingle let me know, I’ll give you the link to the download.

The Sitemap Protocol supplements, but does not replace, the crawl-based mechanisms that search engines already use to discover URLs. By submitting a Sitemap (or Sitemaps) to a search engine, you will help that engine’s crawlers to do a better job of crawling your site.

Using this protocol does not guarantee that your web pages will be included in the search engines index.

Can I use an XML sitemap as a substitution for a robot.txt file?

No, you must still use a robots.txt file to restricted the engines from pages and folders you do not want them to index.

Will submitting an XML sitemap increase my pagerank?

No, it will not. An XML sitemap has nothing to do with pagerank.

Will submitting a sitemap get me out of the sandbox or supplemental index?

No, it will not. Submitting a sitemap will not help you with either of these problems

I’ve submitted a sitemap and may site is still not being fully crawled. Why?

There could be other factors involved. Check your sites navigation. Make sure all your links are accessible and spiderable.

Nov 17

I received a mysterious package today. It was send by Karl Ribas. I wasn’t sure what it was at first. It was a pretty big box for such a tiny item.

I was Klogged. LOL..At least that is what I am calling it. This little guy now has a new home on the desk of Mr SEO. Thanks Karl.

Post your resume for free to find writing, web design and other IT jobs for free

Nov 16

I added a new section to the Mr SEO messageboard

I started the section for these reasons:

* I am always looking for talented people; writers, developers, SEO folks, designers and so on.

*I get offers for jobs I can’t take. The jobs are in actual offices (I

work from my own office only). I’d love to be able to recommend

quality people.

* I get small design, SEO and writing jobs I don’t have time for.

* People have asked me to give them an opportunity to work with Mr SEO

So, stop by and post your resume.
