To all those who purchased the TrustRank beta service for $400 per TR report and recommended authority/trusted links, you should have it in your inbox. If you didn’t get it, please email me on my aojon.com email account. Be sure to include the PayPal transaction ID, along with the domain and topics/niches. I had a few bounces, so make sure you whitelist my email address. I’ll be sure to get it to you this weekend.
After AD:TECH NY next week, I’ll be launching the next phase in the TrustRank service. It will be more of an a la carte type of service. One of the things to look forward to will be not only recommendations, but actual link work done for clients. It’s a semi-automated process, meaning, since I can’t fully automate it without sharing the information with a programmer, which I refuse to do, I’ll be hand picking the domains for the clients, and having them fed into an older custom app I found in my arsenal from a little under a year ago. It will do the job just fine and will allow you to sit back and get links without doing the work yourself. It should go a lot faster, and produce some great results. I’ve already tested it out for some friends for free, and on some of my newly acquired domains. So far, it’s worked 100% of the time, so hopefully it will stay that way without any issues.
I had some clients who submitted domains and topics/niches for other countries and languages, and surprisingly, this service can work for just about anything and any language. There was even a casino and pharma client, and at first I didn’t think there would be all that many results, and that I would have to refund them, but to my surprise, it actually produced some really solid results.
I thought that the most interesting part of this first service was that during the recent PageRank change, almost none of the results via TR were changed, or downgraded rather. Many of the results actually shot up a few notches. I had to change a few people’s TR scores because they went up a lot quicker than usual, so it was as if Google was saying “alright, your PageRank is too high, so let’s take some away, but we’ll compensate you with more trust/authority”. Not sure who decided that on Google’s side, but whatever, no complaints on this side of the fence I’m sure.
Another interesting part was seeing empty domains, like newly expired/deleted ones, jump a few points in TrustRank (nothing to brag about, still pretty damn low), but retained their PageRank even though when I ran it through some “very accurate PR testing tools” they appeared to be fake PR. I still don’t understand that, and quite frankly, I’m not going to even bother trying to understand it, because PageRank has no effect on anything except if you’re selling links on your site to people who still believe that PageRank matters (aka - 98% of the SEO industry and webmasters).
I’ll be at AD:TECH NY from November 4th-7th, so don’t expect any responses from me or blog posts either. We don’t have a booth for WickedFire either, but there may be a meet up point on the 5th. Check WickedFire.com for more details. I didn’t plan anything personally, but we did it last year at Copeac’s booth, and it was fun to finally meet so many of the members. Plus it made Copeac look like an uber popular booth, haha! No I’m kidding, they are great people and always have a ton of foot traffic show up.
That’s all for now. Catch ya on the flip side.
Oh yeah… There’s a radio show in the works. It won’t be anything like that one pilot episode I did almost 2 years ago either. We are going for a more quality in content but with a very sarcastic/humor focused program. We’re still debating on whom we will be hosting/streaming with. The choices right now are - WebmasterRadio, DI.fm/SKY.fm, or hosting/streaming it ourselves. One of my good pals from my brief college and fraternity stint does funny voice-over work, and can mimic just about every great character voice I know of, so we plan on using his talents for some intro and commercial work. I really want to have a live show too, so people can call in and voice their opinion. More on this after AD:TECH as we are still working out the details.
