Make The Links Come To You: New Image SEO
by Ruud Hein.
Links is what makes search really work the way it does: effectively.
Reciprocal links were all the trend, once.
“A reciprocal link directory if a vital part of having a good Google page rank. However there are ways to make it a useful and important part of your website for reasons other than a high ranking in the Google directory.”
Paid links became a fashion; did you know that before 2005, most of the time when people wrote or spoke about “paid links” they were talking about PPC?
“Google allows advertisers to bid for placement of paid links that appear when certain key words are entered on its sites.”
Standards like directory submission and article syndication.
“Write good content [.] Directory listing [.] Article submissions”
But in a world where Google can claim it has basically said not to buy links since 2003 and can be iffy on just how juicy linkbait is allowed to be, seems to me the days of tricks are over <mentally insert halo over head image>.
So. Here’s what I propose we do.
Instead of people copy and pasting your content they now have to link it.
I hang out at Twitter where I enjoy the company, the buzz, the nuggets of info and opinion we pass along.Join me on Twitter!

Am I missing something here? How will engines find the article (and get people to link to it) if it is just an image?
And what if someone decides to copy the article and covert it to text form, would that steal your thunder?
Don’t get me wrong, it is a great idea, it just seems almost too good to be true.

I’m assuming this is a joke, but just in case people take it at face value, I’ll point out the problem this would cause for usability and accessibility, too.
June 7th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
I wish you the best with your plan. I don’t get it either. The assumption that you are going to benefit from this leaves me scratching my head.
June 8th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
I don’t get it.. any more explanation?

We keep on coming back to the inescapable fact of content being king. This is an innovate way to protect one’s content a bit better. The only things is that the search engine bots can’t crawl the content either….

Thanks for the list of links and info about those.

I think some people have failed to detect the tongue placed firmly in your cheek, Ruud.
June 9th, 2008 at 7:30 am
Yup… People, although there is a serious angle to this post as well (old-timers will remember experts-exchange.com making their post “unpastable” by using an overlay image….) *this* post is very much tongue in cheek. I didn’t want to kick in the door and say so straight away at the start of the post so I just made sure I posted it in the category Funnies

Get’s his coat and hangs his head in shame for not spotting the irony (embarrassed!)

Aaaargh!!! And it ain’t April Fool’s day either!
June 10th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
i don’t understand
June 10th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
Thanks for the list. New image seo rocks!
June 10th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
Now it is getting quite arcane…what list? Am definitely missing something here myself!!!
June 11th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Huh this is the first post I have read from the blog and I have no idea what is going on.
June 14th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
Im sorry but i cant understand the concept of this blog whether it is a definition blog or narrative.
June 21st, 2008 at 10:45 pm
Makes no sense to use this method.
June 22nd, 2008 at 2:53 am
Hehe .. now that’s an idea to get scrapers away from your site. Not unless they have OCR software.
June 28th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
What will happen,if someone from your reciprocal link sell a paid link. Does it gives a bad effect to your site?
September 16th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
Guys, I’m pretty sure he’s kidding.
