For your information, this blog has NOT UNDERGONE SEO or SEM.
Please be advised.
Here's another of my CRITIQUE chapter, special from Franz, the idiotic critic who criticizes anything that walks in the wrong path of what it should be. Oh well, do I look stupid writing that sentence? I don't fucking care. Criticize me if you want, I'll be more than glad to welcome all incoming criticism.
Today, I was running some errands and I found this website: http://www.teknikseo.com/
It's run by a guy named Norhafidz. Hello Norhafidz, if you are reading this, please don't get mad. I'm just trying to show you the world in a different view. Please accept this criticism in a positive point of view.
Your website, http://www.teknikseo.com/ has:
- Approx 1.5 page strength. Why? Because your keyword density is high, but unfortunately, it's not high enough on the title, body and anchor text. Which makes you, a bad SEO. Read more to find out why your page strength is so low and why you do not qualify to be an SEO consultant.
- Has only 5 pages, and not enough information for the bots to crawl. As you know, (or maybe don't know), content is KING for SEO. So if you don't have content, consider yourself greyhat. Don't know what's grey hat? Then don't be an SEO consultant.
- You have 118 backlinks, but they are rubbish backlinks. Why do I say that? For forum links, they are temporary -- Probably even die off in 1 week after google crawled your site and give you 0.001% of the forum's link juice. For blogs that has backlinks to your site, they are totally irrelevant in the sense that they don't give you much credit.
- Your title is bad -- Because for your keywords, they are considered Niche. in the SEO world people are not fighting for niche keywords -- They are fighting for general keywords. Sorry, but you don't qualify if you don't even know the industry this well.
- Your age of domain is 85 years old. But hey, my blog that is up for less than a month is ranking higher than yours (not this blog). Sorry -- I think I have better backlinks/content.
- You focus a lot on technorati links -- Great. But hello, SEO off page isn't all about technorati. Google BENEFITS their user for FREE content (main concern). So if your site is selling something, it has to be ABSOLUTELY informational and great or else, forget about Google in the long run (approx 1 year)
- You do not have links to directories, too. For an SEO, directories (link juice) are so important. 85 days old domains and almost no directories pointing? Hello. Where is the DIRECTORY LISTING for SEO technique? You basically just died off in this area.
- You claim that SEO is easy. You're wrong. SEO is a complex science that you have totally no control over (on the ranking), and also something which is changing so fast that you can't even catch up if you do indulge in it. It's technical, and people nowadays don't like to be technical. Technical people are back-ends. Creative insights are more important nowadays.
- Up on 1st ranking in less than a month?? How do you expect me to believe that? If you're selling a book on SEO (taking into consideration a newbie would read it), and you tell them you'll get them 1st ranking in less than a month? Have you considered gastronomy in a day? Sorry, but rome isn't built in a day.
- Your website looks as if it's a kind of I WANT TO SELL YOU, not BENEFIT you. Modern internet users are not dumb anymore, so forget the kind of WEB DESIGN that is plain selling.
- Your website needs to scroll down too far. Have you considered that?
- You never followed the AIDA steps in marketing writing. How do you even consider yourself an SEO consultant?
- Sesiapa pun boleh berjaya dalam SEO. Yes, partially true. With LOADS of effort and LOADS of patience and LOADS of interest. Not buying some book like yours. I can get better information from the internet than your book.
- Anda boleh lakukan yang baik berbanding pakar -- HELLO, SEO is not DEAD. It's revolutionary science that requires too much updates. You CANNOT say that you can be better than an SEO expert with your book when you already made so many mistakes on your site.
- Real SEO people don't brag about their blogs -- Or show examples. They command a type of strength where people will know once they speak of it. Sorry, but I don't buy your idea.
- For your meta keywords, here is my comment:meta name="keywords" content="SEO, Search Engine, Exposed, Teknik, Teknik SEO, Ranking" I'm sorry, you suck. Totally suck. How can you even optimize for such keyword? 'Ranking'? If I'm wrong (taking that you're not optimizing based on your meta keywords), then I'd say that you've done NO SEO at all.
- I'm sorry to say this again, but any untalented SEO guys out there would laugh at you for even promoting SEO and selling a book? Gosh. That's really awful.
- Masalah kekurangan pengunjung - Selamat tinggal? Whatever. Based on your SEO knowledge and words on your site, you're not even worth spending 1 cent for SEO.
- There are four major search engines in this world, namely Google, Yahoo, MSN and Ask (for US-based sites). For other sites like China, BAIDU.com is first.
- SEO is technical and needs practical help. A book won't help. If you want to JANAKAN INTEREST of SEO from your book, I'd still buy your idea.
- Your SEO efforts probably won't work, and DEFINITELY won't stay for longer than a month (unless you tell me that you have super niche keywords that nobody ever searched for).
- Malaysians are not DUMB, mind you.
- One SEO effort is not equals to FOREVER and EVER more visitors without superb content or exciting stuff.
- Have you heard of SEM? Maybe you should check it out. Or SM. Or SMX advanced. Maybe you should know that before you even start.
- Why is Matt Cutts's words and information so important? If you don't know what I'm saying, please, by all means, do not even try SEO.
- Well, the market is not niche anymore. Books like these won't work. It'll only bluff people into buying your books and then not reading it. (Not many Malaysians like to read techical stuff)
- You're competing with people that are better than you 10,000% or more. So please, if you don't know crap, don't take the bite. Run away and hide.
- One experiment of yours do not mean a superb success. Do you know Google Sandbox? Or algorithm change? Can you even detect the change?
- You should 'Nofollow' and 'Noindex' your terma dan syarat page to get more link juice. What happened?
- Your choice of bolding sentences are wrong. Also italicizing and enphasis on words are wrong. How will you claim that you're an SEO consultant when this basic of yours is wrong?
- If orang tak berpuas hati with your product, they will rugi, not you. You can always try and bluff another dumbass into buying it, but they cannot recover back their time wasted on checking your book out or reading it contents to understand more about the crap you're giving them.
Edit: Suddenly I feel lucky. I think I need to add more points.
Let's hope you can find me, by giving you one external link (link juice) to your site okay, norhafidz? TeknikSEO.com
So, do you see how did I bluff you there? A-ha.. There are three mistakes in my link to your site. Well, can you analyze them?
So, I was looking at your site once more, and you're selling this book for RM37. Hmm.. Sounds a little too corny for me. I might just buy it, just to see what dumb contents you have on your book. Have you considered Analytics?
Wow. Before I jump into PPC, Analytics, Keyword Research, SEM, Bid Management and so many more, you better pray that I stop writing or maybe, I could just do something called the Google Bomb, but I don't think that'll happen. I don't have enough time to play tricks like that.
You see, the thing about you, Norhafidz, is that you're giving wrong information to the public, which to me, is scam. And you're charging people for it. But what's good about your technique is that, you are creative. That stops there. What's bad is that:
- This SCAM TECHNIQUE is out of date. In the US, this happened approx 8-9 years ago. Maybe even longer.
- Read SEO FRAUDS. Now, if people are tech savvy.. Wow. You're more than a dope to them. You're a total SEO idiot.
- Money is hard to earn, information is hard to digest. Nobody can learn SEO in just minutes. If you don't have patience and interest, you're dead.
- What's worse? Many Malaysians don't read. Asking them to read your wrong-path-opps! SEO book is really... A dumb business way of doing it.
- You're practically wasting your time! My friend got a PR3 in his blog in 3 months = 90 days = Toolbar PR. Don't understand? Again, go and read. Toolbar PR is not that accurate but it gives you a simple guideline.
- Have you ever heard of free stuff nowadays? Extensive SEO information can be retrieved for FREE. Not yours. I'd rather pay myself to learn SEO.
- Keywords are wrong! OMG!
- No business plan. If there is, it sucked.
- No competitor analysis. If there is, it sucked.
- No strategy management or application of PRINCE2 training. If there is, it sucked.
- No selling point. If there is... Shit. There isn't any that's relevant.
- No formula yang berkesan. Your words just killed your book.
- Almost everything you stated there in your site is rubbish.
- You just wasted your time.
- You didn't read/apply/experiment/update yourself on SEO that much.
- May I suggest that you stop reading this now and go learn some stuff about SEO if you want to sell your book?
