I’ve found interested tool that can send comments automatically using proxy servers scrapebox.com
But I’m still not sure if it will not bring some problems for my sites.
For good work of this tool we should have big number of proxy servers.
Also we need to collect a big amount of targeted keywords.
What is really good is quality of the comments – there are well written, different, posted from different IPs.

Buried in the Google Sandbox

Author: admin  //  Category: Google, Seo Advice

We love Google, you love Google, everybody loves Google! But sometimes we all tear our hair out at the very mention of the Google Sandbox! 60% of web users go with Google as their search engine of choice. Statistics like that could mark Google’s justification for implementing the intricate filters of the Sandbox system.
SEO and Web analytics experts are divided on the effectiveness of the Google Sandbox – some say it merely makes life unnecessarily hard for new businesses (try 6 months in the sandbox!), whilst others extol its virtues as a solution to transitory websites.

Alternate SEO Tools
The best advice is to be to PLAN! Planning an initial online marketing strategy with SEO services like www.searchengineoptimisation.com that accounts for potential burial in the Google Sandbox needn’t have you draining the budget on expensive ads.

PPC
Keeping up the profile of your brand throughout the Google Sandbox drama is crucial. PPC ads offer a cost-effective alternative when combined with a great website (DON’T invest in PPC simply to have your potential customers clicking through to an “Under Construction” website!)

Outline Websites
Submitting an outline website can work in your favour – make the site at least two pages in total, include RSS or relevant email collection facilities, a few links, and try to avoid the old “Under Construction” banner, instead inserting copy e.g. brand message, company bio, perhaps a little humour?

Social Media
With the right visibility settings, your social media pages will make rankings, but only if users search for you by name.

Dealing with problem comments and bad reviews

Author: admin  //  Category: Seo Advice

Organic search engine optimisation is all about reputation management. How well you do in Google’s search rankings for your chosen keywords is important, but without the goodwill of a sizable pool of customers and potential customers, no website can do well. One customer who searches for ‘SEO services’ or one of our other target phrases and ends up on www.seoconsult.co.uk is good. If they actually do buy SEO services from us that’s great. If they buy services and then tell six of their friends that they’ve found a quality company and we end up with six more clients, that’s fantastic.

Every website should think the same way. In the highly competitive online retail market, recommendations are pure gold and they are far more of a resource than in the offline marketing world. If a person wants to find a mechanic, they might ask a couple of friends who live in the same area for their recommendations. If the same individual wants to find the best place to buy bathroom fittings online, they’ll probably post a question to a DIY forum used by thousands of people.

So, having a positive reputation is an essential part of search engine optimisation. But sometimes things can go wrong. Let’s say your bathroom supplies company accidentally sends out the wrong set of tap fittings and an irritated customer posts a bad review of your website. A recommendation can be read by thousands of potential customers but so can a negative comment.

Don’t panic. We all make mistakes sometimes and you can still turn the situation to your advantage. Post a reply to the angry customer offering a sincere apology and maybe free postage off their next order. Get the right tap fittings sent out ASAP and make sure everything you do to make up for the error is shown in the comment thread. Try and get the original poster to revise their opinion of your service. Another good trick is to have testimonials from satisfied clients already up on your website, so you can link to it and demonstrate that the majority of customers are pleased by your service.
