Glync Tracking 25,000 URLs
I will stop writing about Glync for a few posts after this, but I just wanted to announce that we recently surpassed 25,000 URLs being tracked via Glync. The Glync Firefox Extension allows you to add historical graphs to your Google Webmaster Tools external link tracker. Instead of just seeing how many links now, you will see a graph of the links over time (in my opinion, a much more useful representation of the data).Thanks for everyone who is using it and, if you aren’t, why not? It’s Free! Get it here! No tags for this post.

Trick Ranking Software to Use Random Proxies
There are myriad options for rank tracking software, the most common of which probably being WebPosition Gold, but hardly any of them actually do a decent job of using proxies to prevent from getting banned. For example, WPG only allows you to choose 1 proxy, while in a perfect world you would be shifting through hundreds. Now, if you wrote your own rank-tracking software, you would not be running into this problem. However, for the majority of SEOs, writing custom software is a waste of time and money. So, how can you trick any search ranking software to use different proxies? Requirements A LAMP Server – you can get a cheap one from Linode. I would highly recommend them. ($19.95/mo) A PHP Developer – There are really only a handful of lines of code...
New Features and Facelift for Yahoo Site Explorer
The already venerable Yahoo Site Explorer has released a new facelift with improved functionality. I am not sure if the release was today or earlier, or if it is available at all DCs. Aside from a cleaner look and feel altogether, the site provides even stronger data for authenticated sites, making it, in my opinion, once again better than Google’s current offerings. Go ahead and take a look! No tags for this post.
Google Penalty Myths
One of the issues I discuss regularly with clients are elusive Google “penalties”. More often than not, good-willed webmasters and small business owners undertake SEO techniques that are not only frowned upon by Google, but easily detectable and and even easier to counteract. However, these techniques do not usually bring about “penalties”. Penalty: a punishment levied by a search engine, normally in response to techniques which violate the ToS, which leaves the punished site ranking below the point at which it would rank were those techniques simply countered and ignored. Is your site suffering a penalty? It is far too easy to attribute your site’s poor rankings to a penalty when, more often than not, another more straight-forward...
