Burning to Move In: FeedBurner Goes Google

Apr 292008

published by Hannah in News | SEO Tools with No comments

Ok I’m not that dense. I’ve known that Feedburner was bought by Google mid last year. I am after all a Feedburner user and loooove Feedburner. So what am I talking about?

Recently Feedburner announced that finally they are “movin’ on up”, meaning they’re starting the Feedburner-Google Account integration. Yipee yay! Do not too get too excited (though I obviously am…I’ve been waiting for this to happen since the buy out.) because the the announcement said “selected publishers”, which I take to mean that they’ll be doing the migration step-wise giving only some people access to the integrated Feedburner. Not to worry though because they will clearly be affecting changes little by little in the next few weeks until everyone can happily get to explore the “Googlier Feedburner”. If you are one of the first to get this feature do not be too disappointed if you don’t see anything that’s radically new because they say thet’re still working on it. In the end though we can be pretty sure they will be integrating Adsense and Feedburner’s management API.

This is reminiscent of the limited Gmail invite days for me. I of course now log in to my Feedburner a few times a day hoping I end up being one of the “selected publishers”. Till then I’ll keep on checking and I hope you’ll give me feedback in case you get a chance to peek at the integration and do some tweaking (if there’s any tweaking that can already be done).

Been trying out Aaron Wall’s new Firefox extension, Rank Checker, and it works really well. If you want to have no problems making it work though let me remind you of the difference between a URL and a domain.

SEO Your Images: Enhanced Image Search

Mar 162008

published by Hannah in SEO | SEO Tools with 3 comments

We already know that ALT tags should be used for relevant images (I say relevant because you can skip putting ALT tags for images placed in your page for purely aesthetic and/or organisational purposes such as borders). However, what many neglect to do is to take advantage of Google’s enhanced image search. The enhanced image [...]

SEO Tools – The best of the bunch

Apr 102007

published by Gary in SEO Tools with 15 comments

Different Search Engine Optimisation tools hold different meanings for different web masters and bloggers, and it is really difficult to compile a list of “the best SEO tools”. Still, most of the SEO requirements are generic in nature, for instance, your typical Search Engine Optimisation campaign entails:

Optimised source code
Keyword analysis
SEO-optimised content
Meta tags analysis
Search engine submissions [...]
