Famous Film Locations On Google Street View

In the last blogpost, I did a fun and exciting blog post on album covers and Google street view, this time round I’m doing the same, but famous film locations.

Rydell High School - Grease

Album Band Covers and Google Street View

In recent blog posts I’ve reviewed services or spoken about software, but in this post, I feel of doing a ‘fun Friday’ blogpost.

Many album covers have been set on the streets of the UK and I thought it would be fascinating viewing these streets using Google Street Views

Blocking Bad Back Links

Blocking Bad Back Links and Blocking IP’s or Bad Neighborhood Links

Here is the process I use to block bad back links;

The problem; Google bowling or bad SEO created multiple bad back links from porn sites but you can’t contact them (or don’t want to spend the weeks it could take) to get them removed.

The Solution; Download the back links from Majestic SEO. Run them through the bulk URL check at LinkResearchTools.com (strength tool). Isolate the url’s that you want to block.

Link Research Tools - the Good, the Bad and the Pointless

At first glance the package looks quite promising, although any link builder that I’ve ever worked with will probably tell you that they either don’t have the time or don’t need this sort of suite to be able to tell whether a link is good or not (and to some extent I agree), so that pretty much rules them out as a target market, making the name of the product somewhat misleading.

Personally, I thought that whilst this sort of thing is very nice its real purpose lies in either early analysis, reporting or simply to have another tool to say you use to impress clients.
