WebProWorld Members,
Happy Friday! So Mike has posted a picture in the breakroom that I took while we were at SMX in California. He is asking you all to come up with a caption for the picture since we can't remember what Rand was laughing at. Use your imagination to come up with something funny! Have a good weekend!
Our featured post today comes from inertia, who wants to know how you all do link building when you've run out of ideas? Inertia has tried signing up for google alerts and adding comments to blogs / articles but most of the time they have no way to add a link to the comment. If you have suggestions, click here!
As for the remaining three post, the first wants to know what you think about MSN Live becoming the 4th largest search engine in UK? The second has a question about Alexa Ranking. And the third wants to know how about Google refusing to index certain pages .

 Link Building When You've Run Out Of Ideas?
I have reached a bit of a wall with my site.
Any link building that Ive done so far has been accomplished by making friends with like minded webmasters and submitting the site to directories. Now the "weight" behind directory links has dropped and i have forgotten about this method of link building completely. The problem i have now is that my niche industry has reached saturation and i am starting to struggle finding relevant sites that i can exchange a link with or bargain my way into them linking to me.
Does anyone have any advice on sustained link development? I have tried signing up for google alerts and adding comments to blogs / articles but most of the time they have no way to add a link to the comment?! How do you guys do it??!

MSN Live The 4th Largest Search Engine In UK?
Just looking to find out everyone's opinion on this. A combination of MSN's (comparatively unsuccessful) rebranding as Live, and Ask's extensive UK offline advertising over the past year or two appears to have had quite an effect. I was digging around looking at some statistics today (I tend to do that...) and it seems that we may well see Ask overtake MSN Live as the UK's third search engine before long.
Take some stats from one year ago, for example (courtesy of Hitwise's Heather Hopkins). They show Google enjoying a 79.38% market share (up from 75.3% two years earlier), Yahoo enjoying a much unchanged 7.72%, and MSN + Live with a combined 5.28%. In comparison, little ol' Ask is creeping up with 4.87%. It's worth noting, however, that Ask enjoyed 5.45% market share two years previous, but that MSN's market share has dropped even more dramatically (from 7.61%) since the rebrand.

OMG - What Happened To My Alexa Ranking??
I was making changes on my site tonight and went to check something on my site online and saw that my Alexa ranking tripled from the last time I opened the site - which was today. Has anyone found that their Alexa ranking has dropped dramatically today and does anyone know what is going on?
So I clicked on the Alexa toolbar INFO button and it says their ranking has changed. But gez a drop of over 1 million in less than a day - can anyone shed any light on this?!

Google Hates This Page For Some Reason?
Quite often i work on sites where Google refuses to index certain pages.
This is a site that i have worked on in the past and all its pages have been live for well over 12 months. The site is performing well but for some reason Google refuses to index this page - cd-duplication.asp
The sites not perfect i know and i don't have access to it anymore but it serves as a perfect example of what I'm talking about. I tried to get this page to appear for the key phrase "CD duplication" but the home page consistently appears instead. All the internal links to this page are labeled "CD duplication", i have built in bound links to the page using "CD duplication" as the link text, the title, h1, content etc all contain "CD duplication", the page passes copy-scape tests and has no previous "bad" history. But i cant figure out why the hell Google wont index it!!!?
