SEO Tips

Verizon wireless promo code is regularly used by consumers to get discounts. If you need a discount, you can search the coupon sites for the Verizon coupon. Usually, there are a few discount codes you can find at the coupon site. You can check the details of the discount code before using it. You must find out whether there is any requirements you need to meet before you can apply to the order. For example, you may be required to meet a minimum order before you can be qualified to use the coupon code. There are a few ways to redeem the online coupon code. If it is a linked coupon, your only option is to click it to redeem it. After you click the link, you will be directed to the store to complete the checkout process.

You should not exit the page after being redirected to the store. If you accidentally quit the site, you can click the coupon link another time. You can spend some time reviewing the order totals so that you can be assured that the coupon is valid. The coupon is only valid for one order. You should find a Verizon wireless promo code that offer the kind of deal you need most. For example, if the items you buy have heavy weight, you can use a free shipping coupon to avoid the shipping charges.

For few years now I’ve stopped submitting sites of my client to SEO friendly directories that are being advertised in DP forums and DirectoryCritic. And here’s my reason:

1. Fly-by-night directories. I just feel that after seeing directories retired after 1-2 years of being online it’s not worth it anymore to submit to these directories. After getting money from paid listings, directory owners tend to forget or choose not to renew the domain

2. Poor moderating. I saw directories accept lots of links that are not related to the categories of the directories. This is because owner of this directories doesn’t have time or doesn’t care on the quality of the site they’re accepting.

3. Waste of time. After submitting to these 100’s to 1000’s of directories and you end up getting your site listed to 5-10% of directories. And most of them are full of links already to the point that it wouldn’t even appear on Yahoo Site explorer as backlinks because you’re on the 10th-20th page of the said categories.

There are other ways to get backlinks and exposure for your site. Directory submission isn’t one of them. Stop wasting your time purchasing or doing the manual submission. It’s a complete waste of time and has very little or no effect on your sites progress. In my next article I would introduce you some of my experiments so stay tuned.

I just noticed that the Google PR Toolbar updated thrice already in the last 4 weeks. And it’s something unusual because PageRank updates only 3-4 times in a year. There’s still no official statement on what is happening on PageRank TB update on Matt Cutts or GoogleWebmaster blog.

We’ll let’s hope that it’s something that Google working on to give us a better search results.
