Seems that Googles indexing has slowed down considerably over the last month. I have heard of people who used to get indexed at sub 10 seconds not being indexed at all.

However, my view is that Google goes through a number of system upgrades and “dances” all the while clipping and pruning spam from their system and as such one will find their page rankings change on a daily basis on or at all.

Having said that I have noticed that a number of pages indexed 3 or 4 months ago are holding their rankings in the search engines extremely well.

So my view on the matter is don’t worry about it. Have Xmas and new years off and then get back into it after that, hopefully by then Google would have sorted a few things out.

While scavenging the internet for backlinking methods and tools I came across a most interesting way of getting backlinks to your new website automatically . It also appears that you will get an unlimited number of backlinks to any website and or webpage of your choosing.

Okay so it works on the theory of populating scraper websites or MFA (made for adsense) websites with your link. It does it by providing a fake xml or rss feed to the RSS agregators which in turn populates blackhat scraper sites when they come scraping content…where this still happens or not is anyone’s guess,  but anyway.

Right now I have written a script that will do exactly that and now I’m gonna sit back and see what happens…if anything. You see I have tried a similar method to this in the past and … well - nothing much happened.

Also another thing, the source of where I got the theory from was published like 2 years ago, which in this fast changing online environment, is the equivalent to 10 normal years. Which means it might not work anymore.

Anyways, I’m gonna let it run for at least a week and hope it doesn’t break things and then I will put it in my calendar to check on the results.

Unfortunately the last update I did was to my wordpress permalinks changing the format from /%postname%/ to /%category%/postname%/ which has caused a number of problems with my webpages listed in google.

As it turns out my webpage went from having 162 pages to 545 pages indexed in Google within the past 2 weeks. which on analysis looks like Google has re-indexed my pages thinking I have new content, but in fact it doesn’t.

Rankings should hopefully, go back up as the pages are recognized again and backlinks from authority sites take hold.

Took a look through Ezinearticles today to do some research on a project and I gotta to tell ya, there is some shit in there. There are miss spellings, half finished sentences and lord knows what else. Could believe my eyes. Some of the content didn’t read quite right either, which makes me think that they could possibly be machine generated.

Either their approval process is slipping or they are just accepting anything.

Anyways take a look yourself and see if you know what I am talked about.

Okay, so I think that I have trained Google to keeping coming back to my blog on a consistent basis. Now all I have to do, is keep blogging everyday until I die

Oh and the other thing I changed recently is my permalinks settings. For some reason the permalinks were set to wordpresses defaults, which really sucks if you’re trying to rank in Google for specific keywords.

Anyway over the next couple of days I am going to be tried to rank for some low competition keywords, with some medium to high search volume.

Following this experiment I will post how I did it.
