We conduct little tests and experiments all the time as it gives us a feel for the sensitivity of things. They're not double blind scientific results or anything, but are often are useful, in keeping us amused at the very least, and some of our favourite little tricks have come from experimenting.At the moment we're looking at PR amongst other things, and have used a recent tongue in cheeky blog post of ours about whether Google would ban Microsoft as a little experiment to show what we see over and over again with regards to SERPS and PR.We posted on the Blog and pinged it. Then we put it on David's TIP SEO forum then we Sphunn it.
The Results a couple of days later?# 1 Sphinn PR6# 2 TIP Forum PR3# 3 Original Blog PR2
..anyone surprised by this? stepped down in PR order, and in reverse order to their indexing order too.We were unfortunately possible not very complimentary about MS Free Website product too, and fairly surprised and amused to find our lowly review up on the front page of Google with MS themselves. Still showing at # 8-10..Whoops, wonder how long before the MIB's turn up? :)
This last screenshot chuckled us too, it seems we truly are an authority site on this MS Free Website subject at the moment, up there front page for with Microsoft, for their own product name, being uncomplimentary, and in fact ranking above answers.yahoo.com with their mighty Pagerank value.. .. possibly proving that sometimes, maybe pagerank just is dying..?
Whoops, no, I just looked properly, its a PR Zero page, surprise surprise. ;)Wow its not often you get to troll Microsoft twice in one week :)

SEO Tools - URL Rewriting
URLs are known to be better than dynamic URLs for a number of reasons:
Static URLs typically rank better in search engines.
Search engines are known to index the content of dynamic pages much more slowly than that of static pages.
Static URLs look friendlier to end users.
Example of a dynamic URL
http://www.yourdomain.com/profile.php?mode=view&u=7This tool helps you convert dynamic URLs into static looking HTML URLs.Examples of the above dynamic URL re-written using this tool:http://www.yourdomain.com/profile-mode-view-u-7.htmlor http://www.yourdomain.com/profile/mode/view/u/7/NoteYou will need to create a file called ".htaccess" and paste the code generated into it. Once you have created the .htacess file simply copy it into your web directory.URL rewriting of this type will work ONLY if you are hosted with Apache Server.

Social Profiles Link Generator Tool
Have you ever noticed the links to my social profiles that I’ve got listed in the left sidebar? Yeah, it looks just like the screenshot you see here. I coded that sidebar section by hand, but I’ve been bugging someone to make a tool that would make generating that list easy. I bugged, and bugged, and bugged, and annoyed the crud out of him until he finally decided that programming the tool was much better than listening to me drone on and on about it.
So, finally, you too can generate your own little snippet of code that you can then place in your blog’s sidebar, your myspace page, or wherever your heart desires. It’s easy to do and it generates cut-and-paste code that you can style however you want with a CSS class. So just go on over to the My Social Profiles Sidebar Link Code Generator tool and get your code.
Now…what else did I mean to bug him about? Oh yeah! Hey! There’s this tool that I think would be really cool…

Less PageRank Floating Around In SEO Niche
Matt Cutts says in a comment over on a pretty interesting post at SEOmoz - we did do a full PageRank update several weeks ago - there’s less PageRank flowing around in some areas (e.g. search and SEO). Vanessa Fox’s site dropped by one as well, and for her as well, it’s just a case where less PageRank is flowing in some niches of the net. PageRank doesn’t always monotonically increase.
There’s lots of other good info from Matt over there too, but that one bit about there being less PR flowing through the SEO niche got me wondering…

SEO Tools Filed under Work
This is a work in progress page listing various SEO tools and utilities for search engine optimization, keyword research or pay per click management. As time goes by I will continue to add more and more tools to this page. The main reason this page exists on my website is primarily so when I am out of town, or at another computer, I have access to them and can share them.

Google Analytics tracking code
I’ve been a little preoccupied lately and tonight I decided to try out the new Google Analytics tracking code, which uses ga.js instead of urchin.js. To do this, I created a new profile, then added the new code in the footer.inc for this Wordpress theme. This weekend I’ll be comparing results to see if there’s any differences in stats or reports.
