All About Content Marketing -- Getting Spidered

Trying to get a little "link love" -- http://dirkx.educ.msu.edu/contentmarketing/

Need to get that site spidered and indexed by Google.

Some observations.
  • This website is pretty dormant. I got access to it in order to use its PageRank (I think it was advertised as PR8) but it's failing miserably. I checked its PR and I think it was a 5. Still good, but not as advertised.
  • I tried pinging the site above with Pingoat. No luck.
  • It's a WordPress site--I think I just dispelled the myth that "Google loves WordPress." Lucky me.
  • I also tried using Pinterest to get the site indexed. Still no luck.
We'll see if using one of Google's properties can prompt the google bots to take a look at Content Marketing.

Let this be a lesson to beginning SEOs and seasoned veterans -- sometimes it takes a lot of coaxing to get stale websites spidered.

This is one part of my contention that you can condition the search spiders. The owner of the site that All About Content Marketing is on certainly has conditioned the spiders to come back very rarely, if ever, simply by never publishing any content.

I can actually help him get more traffic be simply publishing more often.

This is pretty good work by my cousin's high school-age son! Great work, dude!

Cosmetic Enhancement

ver since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).


Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil)
