12-6-2009 12-33-22 PM  As the malls look like virtual ghost towns, ok not that bad, but really low traffic to be Christmas time. The real bright spot for retail seems to be online shopping. Yesterday, I was watching the bidding for customers heating up on Bing.com as retailers are giving HUGH discounts to customers buying from Bing.

So here are the secrets that I found, and with these techniques you can get up to 25% cash back with Bing.com and the following merchants.

The key is to do the following to get these crazy deals…

Walmart 20% off any purchase

  • Go to Bing.com
  • Search for "Walmart"
  • It should come up in the sponsored results
  • Now you can navigate anywhere in the Walmart site and qualify for the cash
  • I saw this move from 15% to 20% over the weekend!

eBay 20% off any purchase12-6-2009 10-38-43 PM

  • Go to Bing.com
  • Search for "panasonic"

Google Search MythBuster: Google Does NOT Use Meta Tag Keywords

One of the key SEO "myths" is normally the importance of good meta tags for search ranking. SEO companies still to this day will call my office and tell me they can rank our site high by "optimizing my meta keywords". Some days when I am bored, I will drill them like I do other so-called "experts" on the bulls**t nature of their selling points. Other days, I get my joys buy just hanging up on them…LMAO

At one point in time the keyword meta tags had an impact on a web site’s position within the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS). Now the keywords tag has little impact on where a site will appear in the search results.

Why? Well that answer is simply…Once upon a time, keyword meta was used to rank a site, then soon every webmaster began to OVERUSE them oftentimes. Therefore, the search engines began to place less importance on them.  And now, at least for Google’s web search results currently (September 2009), the reality is that Google could care less. Google doesn’t use the "keywords" meta tag in their web search ranking.

Suppose you have two website owners, Alice and Bob. Alice runs a company called AliceCo and Bob runs BobCo. One day while looking at Bob’s site, Alice notices that Bob has copied some of the words that she uses in her "keywords" meta tag. Even more interesting, Bob has added the words "AliceCo" to his "keywords" meta tag. Should Alice be concerned?

Well I had so MANY positive comments yesterday from all the Mythbuster fans, I figure I can wring one more use out of the reference, LMAO. I have been hearing all the rumors about how Bing jump to prominence in such a short time that it became bigger thank CNN, Digg and even Twitter in no time. Well, the folks at Go-Digital.net put the myth to the test.

According to Go-Digtal.net Microsoft actually redirected all of its traffic from Live.com and MSN.com to the Bing URL which accounts for all the hyper traffic.

Using  another web site to prove this, this graph shows how MakeoverSolutions changed its name to DailyMakeover.com to show how this looks on a Compete.com charting. This is what it looks like when a site changes domain names and redirects all traffic from the old site.  By next month Compete will show the same “X” formation graphing for Live.com vs Bing.com

This current chart already shows the decline from Live.com’s traffic stats after being entirely redirected to Bing.
