    During my time as an independent SEO-consultant, I was able to follow the development of numerous websites over the years. On some of these projects I worked myself, while other projects were advised by outside agencies and/or inhouse-SEOs. Some companies managed to become the SEO-top dog in their segment. Other websites spend a lot of money on searchengineoptimization without being able to show a lot of success for it. What exactly makes the difference between success and failure?
    
    Now, that I am no longer working as a SEO-consultant, I feel that I can openly talk about my experiences without losing my credibility because it might seem that all I am trying to do is “sell” my SEO-philosophy. I believe that there is a large misconception from many companies on the part of how the basics of SEO work. They will see SEO as a project instead of a process. It is vital though, that a comp...]]> Wed, 02 Nov 2011 11:34:00 +0100 http://www.sistrix.de/news/1003-infographic-link-distribution.html
    Depending on the competitiveness for a certain keyword, it is the link-building that takes up most of the resources (money and workforce). This means that often, a SEO will have to inform a decision maker (CEO, departmental heads, budgetary responsibility managers) on how link-building works, so that the necessary resources can be allocated. This task becomes harder, the less expert knowledge these people have when it comes to SEO. When I was still working as a SEO-consultant a short...]]> Mon, 10 Oct 2011 10:05:00 +0200 http://www.sistrix.de/news/1002-openlinkgraph-index-size-benchmark.html OpenLinkGraph link-index? Answering this question is more complicated than it might appear at first sight. Let's start out with only the facts: for the current index we crawled 4.2 billion websites, where we detected approximately 45 billion links, from which we put together our first public index. Putting these number into perspective is not quite as easy, when you consider that, not too long ago, an index-size of about 100 million sites was considered adequate for a German searchengine, while, for example, you can read on the Seomoz start-page that they take 400 billion websites into account for their index.
    
    To get a better feel for how the quality and quantity of our data perform in comparison to other services, we compared both the entire amount of links found as well as the amount of unique, linking domains for a number of domains. The end result gives a good estimation of how deep our crawler proceeds. The chart below shows our internal benchmarking:
