Why I don’t rank on Google for Blog Headers …

Posted by: Blog Header Guy | Comments (0)

For whatever reason, Google dropped my PR to 1 after I thought I was doing pretty good with a PR2 after only three months. So, I had a friend do an SE optimization evaluation on the blogheaderguy.com site and you know what I learned?

He says that I say b**g he**der too often and that's probably what's keeping me on page two of Google SERP's and the lowering of my PR. Apparently, I need to have more articles that don't actually say bl*g h**d*rs, even though my site is all about bl*g he*d*r design.

It's a good thing I don't care. I was just curious about what I did wrong.

But maybe he's right, I should tone down all that chatter about bl*g h**d*rs and talk about tiger woods or angelina jolie or their love child. Yeah, you heard it first on bl*ghead**guy.com and Brad is pissed.

Back to the search engine thing, I've actually been doing what I call "dancing with the googly bear" and can find my site anywhere from #1 to #14 for the term blog header and out of 23,000,000 pages I think that's pretty darn good.

Oh well, I may have gone overboard with the asterisks and it may have a negative impact on my future page rankings if the googlebot figures out my code.

Just something to keep losing sleep over.

Watch for my new ebook "The Blog Header Guy Conspiracy".

Till next time,

Roy

The Blog Header Guy Ripoff…Spam Blogger Stole My Content!

Posted by: Blog Header Guy | Comments (3)

I know it may not be obvious so you may not believe this, but I put a ton of work into writing the posts on this site. Imagine my surprise to find my article on "How to Customize Your Wordpress Header." displayed prominently on a site registered to a Pakistan ISP.

This site basically copied the entire article including my images (which they didn't even rename) and removed anything that mentioned blogheaderguy.com or me and then posted it on their blog as their own content.

I had noticed someone accessing my images folder earlier in the week, which I shut down, but apprently this was the guy.

Needless to say, I could not believe my eyes and I literally went ballistic. Its not like I could go to Pakistan and pummel this guy. What was I going to do? I need to make a plan.

I have a copyright infringement letter from my signguy days that I modified to address the theft of my blog content and posted it in every comment box I could find on his blog.

Then, I sent an email to his contact address demanding immediate withdrawal of my copyrighted content, which was initially ignored.

What else could I do?

I found him on blogcatalog.com and posted my demand there in 300 words, no less. My original demand with proof was over 1500 words.

Since this person was profiting from my content, I decided to contact his advertisers. Most advertisers frown on splogs (spam blogs) and don't allow stolen content from its publishers. I sent them letters.

Their response was immediate and asked for exact addresses for proof, which I provided.

I found an awesome article on DevTopics.com entitled, Splogs: Spam Blogs and Stolen Content. You'll want to bookmark this article. Because if this should ever happen to you, it has very specific course of action to take.

I was working on filing my DMCA complaint, when I received an email from the content thief that simply read, "Ok, ok, ok."

My content was removed and all was right with the world. Well, the Blog Header Guy world anyway.

A friend asked me how I ever found out about this in the first place. can you believe they signed up for my free blog header drawing.

Just between you and me, there's not a chance in %$#@ that'll ever happen.

Use of Fractal Background on World of Warcraft Blog Header

Posted by: Blog Header Guy | Comments (3)

I love what I do cause I get to work on the coolest stuff sometimes. This week I had an order for a World of Warcraft blog header.

I was in the middle of working on a new project for BlogHeaderGuy.com where I'm going to be putting together inexpensive blog header packs that focus on specific niche markets for internet marketers.

It gave me the idea to put together a niche market blog header package for the World of Warcraft game. Only problem is that I never played WOW or even wanted to. So, this was gonna be a challenge.

A few years ago, I was collecting grizzly bear artwork for a sculpture I was doing for a theme park ride. I know I had one of the world of warcraft bears in my morgue file, which I could modify for this header project.

I used a a dark blotch green and brown base for the background, but I planned on using an overlay from my new fractal header package.

I am writing another article showing these headers off that I'll be posting soon.

$grizzlyfrac$

Very subtle, but very cool background effect. What do you think?

I next took the World of Warcraft logo and applied it to the image with a luminosity blend. Notice the fractal background peeking through the logo. I really like these fractal headers.

grizzlywow

I like it, but I don't care too much for the way the logo goes off the edge on the right side. So I grabbed a screaming eagle I had in that same morgue file to put there.

wow

There you have it. Another happy client, okay he was ecstatic and wanted me contact him when I finish my blog header package for the World of Warcraft niche.

Until next time.

Finally, A Blog Header Order Page

Posted by: Blog Header Guy | Comments (0)

The BlogHeaderGuy.com site has been live for 28 days and just today, I got around to publishing my blog header order page. It seems that in my zeal to get this site listed in the search engines, I neglected probably the most practical page.

The truth is, I was uncertain how to approach it. At first, I thought of having a quote form to gather information, and providing quotes based on complexity.

I decided that I’d rather not have a bunch of quotes outstanding and so I opted for a "Buy Now" button for a fixed price $47.

For those of you that happen to read this blog post, I have a special treat. If you look over in the sidebar on the right, you’ll find a comic book graphic of wolverine and the punisher. If you click on that image, you’ll be able to buy your header for $27.
