Well I am very pleased to see how fast Google Plus is ranking and it really looks like its going to be a great tool for doing SEO for ranking things on page one for titles.

It only took about 3 weeks to see that my profile page made it to the bottom of page one when searching for my name and with a little help I think I can go ahead and push it right up under my main domain for Chad Broussard.  With any luck I will be able to grow that social platform into an authority page for things I link to and blog about.

In the mean time I will be also working on my other social accounts to get those to also start ranking for things like WP Realty on Twitter (currently already on page 2) and WordPress Real Estate Plugin on Linked In (currently beyond page 10 still).

So – look for another update in about month from now and we will see how things have improved with the social network rankings =)

Bad Bots

Posted: 14th April 2012 by Chad Broussard in Uncategorized

Well I have just spent the better part of today creating a new Honeypot project for these damn bad-bots, web-scrapers and spam-bots etc. What a freaking pain in the ass it can be keeping these “non-human” AI-Bots away from my servers!

I already block literally thousands of IP’s from entire countries such as China, Nigeria, etc. (about 30 countries) Plus+ I occasionally have to dig into the server logs to find out what kind of new bots are ignoring the rules and then update their entire IP range to keep them from hitting all of the sites at one time and crashing the server as has been the case recently.

I have already just updated to block 4 more bad-bots today along with all their know entire IP ranges so hopefuly we will be good to go while I collect more data from my honeypot ip collection.

Linkedin And SEO

Well today I decided to update my linkedin.com profile Chad Broussard and while I was added added another company name called WordPress Real Estate Plugin.

I’m really curious to find out just how powerful Linkedin can be so I decided to do a little SEO testing on it to see just how fast I can rank for various phrases.

On another note, I have been trying to figure out if I should go ahead and register a couple of domains that included the word “WordPress” as part of the domain name. I have tried to get WordPress to go after a couple of my competitors that are using the “wordpress” name in their domain names and thus far after several attempts I can see no enforcement being made.

On a final note, I’m excited to announce our latest WPR3x version is finally ready to be released as a stable version! We are finally able to start working on our new Google maps search module as well as our new CRM module that should be available soon as beta versions. I have been extremely busy over the last couple days doing several videos that I plan to publish by the end of this week. – Oh and one more thing – if pr-esales are any indication of what’s to come for this year then we are going to have a really, really good year!

Chad Broussard Twitter Account

I just re-setup my Chad Broussard twitter account that I reserved years ago and now it’s time to send some Google love so that I can get it ranking on page one with my regular domain.  I’m interested to see just how long it will take and how many back links it will take but I would love nothing more than to get my twitter account and my Facebook account to be number 1 2 3 on page one of Google.
