  12. Bad SEO or ‘Black Hat SEO’ includes the use of keyword stuffed doorway or gateway pages, cloaked and redirected pages, link farms and a whole host of other search engine UNfriendly tactics. Most ‘Black Hat SEO’ consultants make huge amounts of money. This is due to the fact that it takes a relatively small amount of time and energy to successfully optimise customer web pages, using unpopular keywords or keyword stuffed doorway pages. Of course unpopular keywords are rarely searched and receive virtually no visitors or sales. Keyword stuffed doorway pages are worse still as eventually the customers’ website suffers negative results in the search engines in ways that are sometimes irreversible, including permanent exclusion. By the time this all becomes apparent to the client the unscrupulous SEO consultant has received payment and already moved on to the next unwary victim. Good SEO or Clever SEO as we like to call it requires a carefully planned structure and strategy to achieve desired results. This structure will take time to formulate as it requires days of dedicated competitor, client and keyword analysis. Once a strategy is decided then even more time is spent implementing this into a client’s web presence as an initial set-up. Actual website optimisation should be considered an ongoing process, which continues to improve the clients’ web presence continually month by month. A good SEO solution will normally include a 9 or 12 month contract after set-up, with an option to renew at the end of the contract period. The monthly optimisation is used to improve on each previous month’s performance by following the websites’ original structure and strategy during set-up. In other words a constant flow of freshly optimised sub pages, web content, hyper links and external content is added each month to maintain and improve results.
  13. So what sort of sites will rank well in Google over the long term? Sites that have lots of text-based links, both internal links and inbound links from other sites within the same topic area; Sites that offer valuable and useful information, where pages accurately describe content and are stored in clear hierarchical structures; Sites with descriptive and relevant TITLE and ALT tags; Sites with easily accessible pages; Sites that AVOID deceptive or “spammy” practices such as participating in link schemes, keyword spamming, cloaked pages and redirects; Sites that respect the Google’s cost of processor time, and make the Googlebot’s job as easy as possible.
  14. i've had experience and not really you can do most of it yourself free i haven't paid a cent for SEO with ADJF and it comes up pretty high. just have to research how googles SEO works these days as their algorithms have changed alot over the last decade A brief dissection of the criteria: Domain Trust/Authority - I think this was a factor that most SEOs did not seriously feel until after the Florida update (November of 2003), after which it skyrocketed into consciousness, crept along for a bit, and over the last couple of years, has become the dominant factor in the success of rankings at Google. That's not to say that things like exact-match domain names + lots of anchor text from diverse root domains can't still overwhelm the occasional page from Wikipedia, Amazon or the BBC, but the preferential treatment has reached new heights. Just in the last couple days, we've started seeing authority sites like Technorati re-ranking for their tag pages on virtually every SERP they target. Google's "Brand" or "Vince" update also points in this direction, as does the collection of user-data and usage metrics that are potentially being applied or could be leveraged in the future. Anchor Text in External Links - While this is still a very powerful ranking tactic, it's not the powerhouse it once was, and before ~2004, I really felt that it didn't carry the same power it did for those years afterwards. Today, my belief is that anchor text has come to be regarded much as PageRank was after its dominance in the algorithm - as a technique that SEOs have focused on gaming to such an extent that much of it has become noise, and it's only really valuable when found in conjunction with other positive signals (or at least, this is how Google thinks now, and their algorithm is still moving in transit towards that destination). On-Page Keyword Usage - There's little doubt that when I initially started doing SEO, even Google was more susceptible to keyword stuffing. Incidentally, I think this gave rise to the myth of keyword density as a ranking factor (or at least, didn't help slow it down). Today, it's not lost all of its ranking power, but it still sits in the middle as an essential element, but one where "more" won't help you. This is in direct contrast to the other elements I've included in this diagram (where more does equal better rankings). Raw PageRank / Link Juice - In the early days of my SEO career, PageRank was everything (or nearly everything). Manipulating rankings was as easy as getting a few high PageRank links, and this exploit, along with Google's display of PageRank in the toolbar, built industries of link sellers and buyers we still see today. In 2003, PageRank was already on the decline as a ranking factor - a decline that has continued to this day. My feeling is that now PageRank can still make some difference, but it's much more effective for Google as a determining factor for inclusion in the index and comparison against duplicates & scrapers. BTW - When I say "PageRank" I'm referring to the original, egalitarian concept of links as votes, and the idea that every page and every link passes link juice in a similar fashion to help calculate the raw popularity of URLs in Google's index.
  15. well you can either have a crack at interviewing them yourself, or get in contact with me and I can do it and you can pass the questions on, or just tell them to contact me all i need to interview someone is their bio and what's currently happening with their shit
  16. are you asking about how to handle it through ADJF? or just how to handle yourself in an interview with a headliner
  17. hahahaha what a fucked up turn of events that these 2 genres should collide and it's dope!
  18. Good read, cheers pulse and cheers Dave!
  19. Dave, hello, good morning and thanks for speaking with ADJF today. Appreciate your time. First off what exactly got you started in DJ'ing? My older brother is actually to blame behind my filthy obsession with dance music and DJing. He bought a set of turntables and a CDJ-100 and started collecting progressive house/breaks (this was around 2002) and had it all set up in his room. He moved overseas for a few months in 2004 and I borrowed/stole his set up and started playing more and buying my own records while I was supposed to be at uni. It all sort of built from there. What influenced you into your signature sound of deep, progressive/tech house? My first proper party was James Zabiela & Infusion @ Room in 2004 and from there went to all the Sunny & Darkbeat parties that I could. My brother was right into the dark ‘Melbourne’ sound from the Zero Tolerance guys and I was really starting to get into the German sound that Gav Keitel was pushing at the time, so it really was a combination of all that. What have been some of the biggest influences leading up to, and during, your musical career? I guess when I was first starting out I was really lucky to befriend a few people in the scene who were putting on parties. Darius Bassiray & Dan Banko from Darkbeat in particular gave me quite a few gigs and I’ve always loved the sounds they push, both as DJ’s and as promoters. I have to mention the Clarity guys; Mark Stewart, Phil Moore, Xitation and Ryan Quinsee. We’ve all supported each other over the last 3 years and pushed each other to do something a little bit differently with the way we’ve approached playing and running parties. Musically, Phil K has probably been the biggest influence on my sound; always looking for new and different sounds and never becoming stagnant. I’ve always had that mentality from the start that I didn’t want to be pigeon-holed as a ‘progressive’ DJ, or a ‘tech-house’ DJ. From Day 1 I’ve always just wanted to play good music that works in the time and space that I’m playing and Phil is as good as they get in that regard. What is the most important, non-DJ related item you have to take to every gig? My trusty hat. (I think i’ve played maybe 2-3 gigs in my life without wearing some sort of head gear). What other Australian DJ's do you rate? Right now I’m really into some of the newer guys who have come through the scene in the last few years. I’ve always loved the sounds that Phil Moore & Ryan Quinsee have pushed, Jon Beta, Lister Cooray, Alam, Andrew Wowk (Syd) and I still try and catch Rollin Connection and Phil K as much as I possibly can as well. What's your favourite floor banger at the moment? I wouldn’t necessarily call these all bangers but definitely liking these of late: Presslaboys – All Now Tom Middleton – Shinkansen Jay Shepheard – Shelter Maceo Plex – Gravy Train (Original/Nicolas Jaar Remix) What do you get up to outside of the music scene? At the moment, not a hell of a lot as I’m trying to save for my trip to Europe in June! 2010 was a big year for you seeing you playing regularly in some of Melbourne’s biggest clubs. What are your plans for 2011? At this stage I’m planning to move to London in early 2012 so I really just want to have as much fun as possible this year, keep playing the music that I love and hopefully get a few gigs along the way. I’d love to play some breaks and drum & bass out a bit more this year too! Any shoutouts/plugs/facebook etc? The next couple of gigs coming up are: 11th Feb Prognosis @ Loop 11th Feb Vincenzo @ Brown Alley Check out some of my mixes @ http://soundcloud.com/dave-juric/ http://soundcloud.com/juric101/ http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dave-Juric/16277355729
