We decided to make our Tag Cloud Generator available to everyone. It is actually just the base for a number of cool Web 2.0 SEO (XSEO) projects we are working on. Now with xFolk Microformatting so it is ping-able (Pingerati etc.).

'Out of the box' your tag clouds will link to Technorati but here are some ideas:
If you have a Wordpress Blog, perform a Search and Replace (using wordpad) on the html code, replace 'http://technorati.com/tags/' with 'http://yourdomain/yourblogdirectory/search/'. Now the tag cloud indexes your blog.

Here is another cool idea: Search/Replace 'http://technorati.com/tags/' with 'http://www.touchgraph.com/TGGoogleBrowser.php?start=', your tag cloud will then access the touchgraph tool for visual Google relationships.

These are just a few ideas to get you started, you can modify the html tag cloud code anyway you like. If you enjoy your new cloud, please consider linking back to RELAX SEO Services with the Anchor Text "Innovative SEO Tools and Training"

You can find the Tag Cloud Generator here: Innovative SEO Tools and we suggest you have a look around the site because we have a bunch of cool stuff for you to enjoy.

Why register for our Blog? We have many exciting projects ongoing at RELAX SEO Services. Particularly, the SEO Ontology Project provides a framework for SEO problem solving in ‘Semantic’ Web space. When you register, you can request access to the wiki and contribute your ideas.

SEO MindMap to the rescue!: Fortunately we developed the XSEO MindMap. As I have stated before, it is our compass, roadmap and rear view mirror … but it is also an excellent starting point for the SEO Ontology project.

For those of you who subscribe to the feed, you know that I have issues with the proliferation of ancient SEO paradigms, they simply do not apply for Today’s Search Engine (Social Engine) efforts. The Semantic Web proposals go ‘hand in hand’ with SEO (XSEO) methodology … the focus here is on relevance, accurately describe your site, export in SemWeb formats, and you will see what I mean. I am not altogether against the so called SEO guru’s, when they talk about keyword research most of the information is still valid. It is all in the implementation.

A history: I do apologize for the sporadic posts, we are in research mode and cannot always keep pace with our documentation efforts, we are committed to open research but often we are not staffed to explain the details in a timely manner. We have a policy of openness and will always (eventually) publish our research. The Ontology is a better method than the MindMap in many ways and it is possible that in the future, we may forego the XSEO MindMap and just provide everything in ‘.OWL’ format.

The deliverables: We intend not only to provide the Ontology but a DBin ‘brainlet’ as well.

Topics coming soon: Our experience with Gnowsis, eRDF, Protege and Eclipse/Jena. We plan to describe in detail how we use these tools in our everyday SEO.

Not a client? Perhaps you should consider joining the MOST forward thinking SEO community in existence, we smash conventional ideas about SE placement. Hey - it’s great that you have paid an SEO for traffic and they have made your stats look lovely - but how many visitors actually purchased something?

I gotta get some sleep but not before I take this Blog live. This will no doubt be part rant, part info - I received an email from someone (I would love to throw their name out here) who told us that some of our pages were broken in IE 5.0 ………….. huh? I thought to myself, with the amount of experimentation we have been doing lately, I would not be surprised if his browser burst into flames when it hit our site :-P We are full steam ahead with some new ideas and they totally rock.

Last night I heard from an associate that socializer 2.0 was down and the page stated that they were getting slammed by bots, I did not see the page personally but it shows how much activity there is on the XSEO front. Now socializer 2.0 is a site that if you are not currently using it, then you need to go find another Blog to read, perhaps one that tells you to send emails and beg for backlinks. It’s that different these days, LSI keyword Analysis, Tag Analysis etc. etc. etc. The old ways … well we keep our interns busy with that stuff.

OK, back on track about the fools who bite the hand that feeds them, one thing we are not is Black Hat … sure we are taking risks but only because it’s new ground, we are not sure if or when we’ll get burned but we are kind to the 2.0 sources that deliver the killer stuff. Anyway, I LOVE IT! I thrive on this kind of excitement especially when we see some of the things we’ve seen come from it.

Again, if you explore the site and perhaps scrape some pages, you’ll see what we are up to … yeah, yeah we take risks so that you don’t have to … blah blah. Just watch us.

OK, nighty night. till next time.

Web 2.0 SEO XSEO Search Engine Optimization

Folks,

One funny thing about our claim to be be Web 2.0 SEO enriched is the definition keeps changing for us. The things we try while exploring the new methods really pay dividends, as I have explained before the results often leave us in a ‘drop jaw’ state staring at the monitor in disbelief. We wonder if we might actually have one foot in Web 3.0 SEO. I recently saw a video clip where Bill Gates said something like ‘the term Web 3.0 represents a lack of creativity in monikers for this technology’, I got a kick out of that.

I think a better way to put our efforts would be “experimental SEO” or “XSEO”. So we will see well how that term plays out.

I was talking to a potential client Yesterday evening and while we were discussing things I realized that they really expected to throw a page out onto the Internet and have throngs of visitors clamoring to purchase the service they offered. Looking at the page, we saw no title, no tags … nothing. Furthermore they explained that they had paid for a submission service but it was not fruitful (duh). I thought to myself, that service should be arrested and locked up in Internet prison; how could anyone submit a non-optimized page and take this poor persons money without saying a word? It goes on a lot I know, shame … shame on them. Anyway it was my pleasure to share the way we see things nowadays, foremost I felt it necessary to suggest that they might want to consider actually offering some valuable content rather than the ‘gimme your credit card’ approach they currently were using. This person has plenty of time and their service is a good candidate for Blogging. The point is that if they really worked on a Blogging campaign and started joining the social networking scene, well, they wouldn’t need a so called SEO.

We see it all the time … ‘10 years of experience’ in SEO. While I’ve been around that long (remember FFA’s), I wouldn’t dare say something like that in an Adwords campaign … it’s a dead giveaway, just like ’submit to thousands of search engines’. Instead, I think I will proudly proclaim that we have 24 hours experience in XSEO :-)
