Climb My Way Out

It has been quite a busy month. I’ve had exams every day for a week straight! Anyway, I’ve launched a new blog about the upcoming game StarCraft 2. I have not yet monetized it and probably will not for a little while. This website is more of a hobby for me. I’m quite a Blizzard game fanatic and I’ve enjoyed every single game released by that company. Although, they push back their release date on all games and make everyone wait a gazillion years. It’s well worth it, all their games are just phenomenal!

I came across several products that claim to boost page rank with Wikipedia links. Then I thought to myself, aren’t all links on Wikipedia ‘nofollow’ links? A ‘nofollow’ link informs some search engines that the link should not influence search engine ranking. Unless those products are teaching black hat methods, you aren’t walking down the free page rank boost aisle. Matt Cutts posted a video about ‘nofollow’ links and it certainly suggests that Wiki links won’t boost your search engine page ranking. However, I have read that if you’re a trusted editor on Wikipedia the ‘nofollow’ tags can be removed. Ding ding ding! So, those products were telling the truth. Yes, I admit it is possible, but the amount of work required to become a trusted editor is just silly.

After 4 painstaking days, I’ve finally managed to put together my first revenue generating website. This site was suppose to be a one day job but it took longer than anticipated due to some unforeseen bad coding on the script. Anyway, this website is an image hosting site. The idea is definitely not unique, nor does the site have any kind of niche. So, why did I choose an image hosting site? Simply because it’s an easy project, easy to promote and practically maintenance free.

When you finally sit down and start making your websites, have you taken into consideration the almighty Google? In this article, I will discuss a few important issues regarding search engine optimization.

I will be introducing website building basics in this post. I was contemplating on whether this article should be written or not, since there are numerous in-depth resources on this topic. However, it doesn’t hurt to highlight some key important aspects of building websites for the inexperienced webmasters.
