			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking at the recent turmoil in the Google pagerank world, we realized that there really isn&#8217;t a way to reliably check domain Pagerank in bulk, a tool many domainers and SEO professionals certainly need as part of their workflow toolbox. That&#8217;s why we went ahead and created a real power tool for domainers and SEO professionals to analyze large numbers of domains for Pagerank.</p>
<p>The result of our efforts: <a href="http://www.fastpagerank.com">FastPagerank.com</a>, the only tool on the Web where you can accurately check the real pagerank of thousands of domains in seconds. </p>
<p>Pagerank domains can be powerful assets for search engine optimization and website development. A high pagerank means that the domain has a large number of quality backlinks, high Google ranking and likely a steady flow of traffic. Great for a SEO strategy or domain reseller purposes. </p>
<p>FastPagerank.com features up to 50,000 pagerank lookups per day, 10,000 at a time, with custom plans for higher query limits available. The results for even large bulk queries are virtually instant, and fake pagerank is detected and displayed. In true <a href="http://www.estibot.com">estibot.com</a> style, there is no need to pre-format your domain lists, just copy-paste whatever files or web pages you need to analyze and FastPagerank.com will parse the domains and present you with a highly readable output. Downloading the results in a .csv file is just a click away.</p>
<p>Check it out: <a href="http://www.fastpagerank.com">FastPagerank.com</a></p>
<p>We hope you enjoy it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a response to the Domain Name Wire post <a title="Remember no one searches with quotes" href="http://domainnamewire.com/2010/01/15/remember-no-one-searches-with-quotes/">&#8216;Remember, no one searches with quotes&#8217;</a></p>
<p>In the post, the reader is reminded that while we often cite term frequency as the number of results we get from Google when searching for a term in quotes, most people do not use quotes when searching.</p>
<p>I agree that domainers and SEO people should keep this fact in mind, especially when they want to get long-tail search traffic beyond their main optimized terms, but quotes still rule for domain name and keyword research.</p>
<p>For preliminary estimation of potential type-in traffic, the SERP number with quotes is important. Reversed terms generally do not get type-in traffic.</p>
<p>Also, for SEO, the combination of the perfect domain name (correct word order) plus optimization for that exact term is powerful. Quotes are needed to research this. The huge optimization advantage provided by the domain name is lost if the page is optimized for anything other than the exact term in the exact order represented by the second level domain itself.</p>
<p>While it is true that most &#8220;lay&#8221; people don&#8217;t use quotes when searching, Google still considers the word order in ranking the sites, even when you don&#8217;t use quotes when searching. Different sites will rank high in the SERPs depending on whether you search for <em>football game</em> or <em>game football</em>, without quotes. This is one of the reasons why term frequency as represented by number of search results for the term in quotes (=phrase match) is much more meaningful than the term frequency without quotes (=broad match).</p>
<p>Broad match has its uses in research &#8211; e.g. it can be used as a variable in complex keyword analysis &#8211; but should not be used alone as indicator of term frequency or search popularity.</p>
<p>Finally, it&#8217;s worth noting that one should not mix term frequency (number of results in a Google search) with search popularity. Both can be given as phrase match or broad match and the significance of that distinction is different depending on whether you&#8217;re talking about term frequency or search popularity, which are both needed for complete keyword/domain name analysis, but they are two completely different things.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m about finished with this weekend&#8217;s coding binge, and very pleased to present to you the latest update:</p>
<h3>Estibot TotalSearch™ Data</h3>
<p>TotalSearch™ is by far the coolest data you will acquire for your domain name. It represents the total number of searches across all known search engines, in the U.S. search market. It is an estimate of the true search popularity for the exact phrase match of the search term that your domain is made of. The data is from 2008, so it is well representative of the current search market. Forget Overture, this is the new benchmark.</p>
<p>TotalCPC™ An up-to-date estimate of the highest advertiser bid for the search term from 2008.</p>
<p>TotalCompetition™ Represents the amount of advertiser competition that exists for the search term, again the data is from 2008.</p>
<p>These data are available for the single appraisal at this point. I will get to work on improving the bulk appraisals, and will include the data soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m launching the Estibot SEO services that I&#8217;ve so far used only for myself (blog posting, social bookmarking, directory submission), to be used for already existing websites / developed domains. If you want a good, affordable link building campaign for your existing website, check this out:</p>
<p>Estibot SEO / Link building / Directory Submission services:</p>

<p>I provide a complete service where the client does not have to lift a finger.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s very simple: you only provide the domain name/URL of your website, and I do everything else. You don&#8217;t have to write anything or log on to anything or handle any email confirmations. You just sit back and maybe enjoy a nice cup of coffee.</p>

<p>Social bookmarking: Again, just give me the URL and it will be manually added to 25 SEO friendly social bookmarking sites, with varying topic-sensitive short (single-sentence) descriptions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, since I released the minisite and SEO services (see end of post) to Estibot members, I have received enough orders that I needed to get more capacity. So I started looking for outsourced web developers, and asked them how much they would charge for making a minisite.</p>
<p>As anyone who&#8217;s tried to outsource will tell you, finding a reliable provider can be a nightmare. Sure, they charge about one tenths per hour compared to Euro or American providers, but just like buying a really cheap tour guide in Morocco, there always appear extra costs and necessary expenses as if by magic. In web development outsourcing, this usually takes the form of billing an insane number of hours for a simple task.</p>
<p>Check out this offer I received, web design for a very reasonable $13.33 per hour from a web dev company in India:</p>
<p>Home page mockup and graphic design: <strong>8 hrs</strong><br />
[I can do this in less than 1 hour myself]</p>
<p>Wordpress installation: <strong>2 hr</strong><br />
[...um...takes me about 2 minutes]</p>
<p>Installation of wordrpess theme : <strong>6 hrs</strong><br />
[...almost a whole day to install a Wordpress theme <img src='http://estibotpro.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  ]</p>
<p>5 inner pages : <strong>4 hrs</strong><br />
[...with wordpress, it's a matter of minutes to feed in the content]</p>
<p>RSS aggregator : <strong>2 hrs</strong><br />
[...again, this should take 5 minutes, it's a copy - paste procedure]</p>
<p>Contact form : <strong>4 hrs</strong><br />
[...I can code a php contact form from scratch in 10 minutes]</p>
<p>Google search box : <strong>6 hrs </strong><br />
[...this must come with a guarantee of 100 high-PPC clicks per day, yes?]</p>
<p>Google adsense : <strong>8 hrs </strong><br />
[...OK, so one guy spends a day copy-pasting Adsense code to a few source files..]</p>
<p>Total : <strong>40 hrs</strong> [...that's a full working week to get one very simple site done]</p>
<p>For one finished site the quote is <strong>total $533</strong></p>
<p>Guys, I have to get my cut so how about $600 for a minisite? Anyone?</p>
<p>&#8211;</p>
<p>Anyway, the SEO services are ready for your use if you have existing websites that need a nudge in search engine rankings and traffic:</p>
<p>Estibot SEO / Link building / Directory Submission services:</p>
<p>Prices all inclusive.</p>
<p>Package &#8220;Social&#8221;:<br />
25 manual reviews on SEO friendly social bookmarking sites $10</p>
<p>Package &#8220;Dir-50&#8243;:<br />
Manual submission to 50 SEO friendly directories $15</p>
<p>Package &#8220;Dir-100&#8243;:<br />
Manual submission to 100 SEO friendly directories $25</p>
<p>Package &#8220;Blog&#8221;:<br />
Five unique blog posts/reviews on 5 separate blogs with links and deep links back to your site $20</p>
<p>Package &#8220;SEO Super&#8221;:<br />
100 directory submission + 5 blog posts + 25 social bookmarking $47</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>Esa</p>
