Search Engine Journal reports about a new SEO tool, through a post. The name of the tool is LinkVooDoo, which helps in link buying or link exchange campaigns.

Backlink checker and website evaluator, LinkVooDoo is a free tool. It has the ability to measure the quality of a website, and at the same time it tells the users how valuable is the link from a particular website.

The first focus area is “link diagnostics”. Let’s see how it works:

Jon Henshaw of Raven SEO Tools has come up with a number of tips to help you create dofollow links on social bookmarking mega platform Delicious.com.

Here are the tips:

1. Try to be the first person to bookmark the link. That way you’ll be able to control the anchor text that’s used in the link.
2. After you bookmark the link, have at least one other Delicious user bookmark it. Have that account use similar tags, but don’t completely copy each other. Also, it’s probably wise to mix up accounts that bookmark the same links, and you may want to consider having the other account use a proxy server or different IP.
3. Although step two is all you need to do, it may be helpful to actually build a few links to the “Everyone’s Bookmarks for” page, just to make sure it gets spidered, referenced and rated by search engines.

Keyword Discovery has added “Question Phrases” to its list of searchable database. From now, when users will enter a keyword, they will get a list of related questions that have been asked before, rather than getting related keywords. This is a great feature and an appropriate way to get content ideas!

Here is the snapshot of Question Phrases:

Below is an example of the list of questions related with the keyword ‘acne’:

News is coming from “linking schemes” world that Backlinks.com has allowed Google to index User IDs, Passwords, Link Sites, etc.
This is one of the examples as to why we should not involve in “linking schemes.”
