On October 16, 2012 Google finally put an end to the annoying "please-remove-my-links-from-your-website" mails and gave hard times to backlink removal services and tools like Removeem (the guys spammed us pretty hard and they do deserve this link, after all, they may now disavow it, if they wish).

Those of you, who already expect yet another Penguin and Panda story, please, switch to National Geographic, this post is going to be animals-free. While the introduction of Google Disavow Links tool spurred lots of discussions, a few months earlier the similar functionality introduced by Bing was merely noticed. Bing Webmaster Tools deserve more attention; they have a good chance to win in our Bing vs. Google Webster Tools challenge. We thought it would be boring to describe the functionality of Bing tools alone; we hope all of you may Ctrl+F the “Help” link, thus we compared Bing tools against their counterparts by Google, and performed a few very simple tests.

Most website owners realize the importance of targeting multiple keywords on their site and with their overall SEO program. It's too risky betting your entire online business on one or two keywords, so long-tail variations become just as important as your broader, high-level keywords.

Best practice dictates that sites target 2-5 keywords per page of content.

Depending on how large your website is, that could mean hundreds (or even thousands) of keywords that you need to focus your SEO efforts on.

Obviously it's impossible to target all of that at once, so how do you go about prioritizing those keywords? How do you determine which keywords should get your attention and SEO efforts first? Read more »

Several months ago, we sat down here at Link-Assistant.Com to discuss how we could make SEO PowerSuite faster and more lightweight.

The thing is, when it comes to data volumes, SEO PowerSuite is crazy software: users can check unlimited number of sites, pages, backlinks, keywords and rankings.

This unlimited approach is a gorgeous way to go we believe: smarter SEO only comes with the full range of accurate SEO data.

At the same time, if you are working with big projects, performance may suffer. With all the coming bells and whistles we're planning to add to SEO PowerSuite feature mix, apparently there's a risk of extra load on SEO PowerSuite users' computers.

That's why we went ahead and started Mission Performance back in February, gradually adding one upturn after another and being happy like kids to see mind-blowing savings on memory, traffic and CPU to help you work with the software in an enjoyable way. Read more »

Either as a professional SEO or webmaster you might have been stuck in a situation when the available keyword research tools like:

• AdWords Keyword Tool
• WordTracker Free Tool
• Microsoft Advertising Intelligence, or
• Any other tool of your choice

Fail to provide you with any keyword ideas. Typically, it happens due to any of the following reasons or their combination:

• A new keyword/ object/ notion (e.g., you are promoting an absolutely new product or service)
• The keyword has very low search volume (the research tools often omit such keywords)
• Adult or restricted niche (the research tools may, and they actually do, filter out 'adult' related keywords from their results)

There are a few techniques that might help you pick out potentially good keywords despite the lack of information. Read on! Read more »

Getting the right keywords - the more I’m in SEO, the more obsessed I am with the idea of finding better and smarter keywords. Good for me and you, Google AdWords has launched one more keyword tool to bring light into the darkness. Both pay-per-click guys and SEO fellows, I have something to tell you about it!

The reason why Google invented one more AdWords tool is obvious - so many guys have tried the ad placement option for their pay-per-click campaigns and failed. I remember how disappointed I was to get CTR lower than 0.1% in just a couple of days after launching an ad group.

Besides, this CTR is considered by Google when calculating the overall account CTR, which made me even sadder, as it took me so much time and effort to raise it to 1%.

I guess my experience was typical. In a conversation with an AdWords strategist responsible for reviewing my account and making suggestions, I learnt two things: Read more »
