Live.com Loves KWs in the URL
I’ve spent a lot of time running searches a Live.com this week and noticed that, more than any of the other engines, Live seems to rank domains and pages that have the keywords in the URL, and the domain name. This appears to work equally effectively for subdomains, so using a subdomain strategy when targeting Live in particular may be a great way to go. Of course, they’re one of the most active engines about algo shifts, so it may not last for long, but its certainly effective right now.
Using the Juicy Links Tool to Great Effect
The new Juicy Links Tool for premium members is a paradise for link builders, so long as you know how to search. My recommendation – use terms like:
- directory
- add url
- submit site
- resource links
- recommended sites
- add profile
in conjunction with your primary keyword phrases and you can really put together a fantastic list of potential targets for link acquisition. We tried these searches a couple times and were blown away with the value we could get from it.
