Its been a great few weeks since we last did a Link around so I thought we would cram a few more then normal in.

Geo-targetting Visitors

Kicking things of is Patrick from Blog storm with his post on Geo-targeting users also check out his 9 Link baiting tips for eccomerce.

Geotargetting is simply the art of showing different content to your visitors depending on which country they are from. For example if I have an affiliate offer that is only available to customers from the UK I know that it will be useless to US visitors.

Patrick uses the pay for version of the Maxmind database but those on a budget and who don’t mind mislabelling all AOL users as Americans can use the free version and Nick ran up a quick script this morning on Webdigity for using the Free geo-targetting DB.

Using no-follow on your own pages?

SEO Fast Start has a great article on how and when to use no follow attribute on your own sites it follows on from a series of discussions by SEO on the merits of no follow.

The key question is whether you can improve your position with search engines by changing the internal linking structure of your web site. http://www.seofaststart.com/blog/internal-nofollow-help

Staying the course

Melanie has made her 100 post on SEO Cog (technically 101 by the time you read this) in which she lists her top 10 posts from the previous 100, I strongly recommend you go and read them all but if I had to single one out then I would go with ‘Small touches with big results‘.

There is nothing more satisfying than a little something with a big yield. I love these things! Its like polishing the chrome on and old car….Instant gratification.

Congrats Melanie, I hope you celebrated with style and we look forward to the next 100 posts.
