Cup of Google Caffeine

SEO guru and Google guy Matt Cutts recently told us that we should be expecting the new and improved google caffeine after the holidays – so we can probably expect the roll out somewhere in January.

For now we are able to access caffeine by IP 209.85.225.103

Seems a lot faster than the current google for some results and slower for others. Matt says it will be released in phases, will be fun to see the finished product huh?

Doing a comparison of the current google vs the new “google caffeine” using my tool fashioned from doing a split query of Ajax API:

One finds that there is very little difference between the two other than more relevant results and even current ones are placed at the top of the list. One determines from such results that if you want to get higher rankings on google in the future, you are gonna need to get very social and update your websites fairly frequently with those same keywords.

Go ahead put in your own search terms and give the tool a whirl on your own keywords.

New ways to build traffic through offline and online blog promotion, a very popular post written about blog promotion which I highly recommend you read.

If you are short on time, here are a few excerpts:

1. List of Other Blogger’s Best Posts – Sounds odd but if you went through other blogs and made a list of the best posts on their blog you will most likely get a link and easily get tweets if the blogger is popular on twitter.
2. List Post of Bloggers Your Readers Must Follow – Bloggers will come and check it out, thank you, pingback and comment.  Creates some buzz on a variety of sites. For an example check out BloggingTips.com with 373 tweets!
3. Do an Interview with An Important Blogger – Create some buzz about a famous person being interviewed on your site. Make it unique and your site will be the place to get their important interview.
4. Thank You Notes – Send thank you notes to bloggers you have been inspired by, learned from or connected with.  Your gratitude will go a long way in solidifying a long-term relationship.
5. What is Wrong With This Picture? – Make a picture with your digital imaging software, like photoshop, and put together an image with lots of items in it.  Then make it a “what 10 items are out of place?”, or “Can you find?” post.  People will forward it in emails, blog about it and stumble it.
6. Article Marketing Outside Your Niche – Write articles and submit them to Ezine or other article databases on subjects you normally don’t write about.
7. Submitting to Aggregators – Make sure your blog is in reputable aggregators for other bloggers to find your great content.
8. Submitting to Domain Checkers – Use free domain tools to check your site and build links through their custom pages of your site.

So, eat lots of chocolate!” – Elaine Sherman, Book of Divine Indulgences

2. “Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar in four pieces with your bare hands–and then just eating one piece” – Judith Viorst
