Lately I have been frustrated with a particular individual who calls himself “georgeshoemoney”. His email is georgeshoemoney@yahoo.com.
He commonly registers on website forums (such as my own before I deleted his account and posts) and replies to posts and/or starts new posts with really weak content which might contain a sentence of poor English.
He then has a link in the signature of his post which contains a link to a dentist website. He commonly links to skyedental.com using the link ‘Dentist in Milpitas.’ On other websites I have also seen him link to dentistsorange.com using the link “Dentists in Orange.’
Now digging a little deeper I see that both of these sites contain a link to stratforce.com.
Now I have deliberately not HTML linked to these websites because I do not agree with these camouflage techniques to manipulate Google search ratings. The thought is is that you can add a link with some useful link text to many websites to your website than this will help you appear higher up when people search in Google.
So it appears to me that some Dentists are deciding to have their website designed by stratforce.com who then goes on to use these questionable search engine optimization strategies.
So I would recommend for Dentists to not have their website designed by stratforce.com.
It looks to me that some dentists are choosing the ‘Strategic Website Positioning Services’ from stratforce which includes link building. The president of stratforce is currently Aaron Limon. His practices are in violation of Google’s Terms of Service. However, I guess with the way the internet and websites work these days this should come as no surprise. Website masters should crack down on removing these posts in forums and blogs more quickly and not leaving them up to pass their page rank.
It does not look to me like dentists and oral surgeons have a lot of quality and useful options when deciding to have a website for their practice. I have previously discussed PBHS and the fact that all oral surgeons websites by PBHS look similar and have similar content.
Lucky for all of us the search engines are getting smarter and placing more emphasis on original, relevant content. There is no replacement for the written word!
If you want to be on page one with Google for particular keywords, you have to do some serious Internet marketing strategizing. You can add a page to your website and optimize it for the keywords. But that webpage won’t get as much notice by Google as a blog would. So, the best approach is to add the webpage AND post multiple blogs on the topic.
Let’s say you want to bring in dental implant cases. Here’s a sample strategic Internet marketing plan, with tasks in order of effectiveness:
* Post multiple, well optimized blogs about dental implants
* Use social networking to promote dental implants
* Add a well optimized dental implant page to your primary website
* Create and promote a press release about dental implants
* Create and promote articles on dental blogs
* Comment on other blogs about dental implants – again legitimate comments!
At Modern Dental Practice Marketing, we can do all of this for you. Our dental copywriters will write and post search engine optimized dental blogs on your behalf. Our social networking experts leverage Facebook and Twitter so you don’t have to worry about it. We post comments on relevant blogs, acquire legitimate backlinks, and write and submit press releases and articles. Everything you need to boost your SERP rankings is done for you. MDPM makes dental marketing completely hassle free!
Thank you, Wisdom. Great name by the way. I could not agree more with you. I also find it super annoying if individuals with poor English leave uneducated comments on blogs. Maybe this “George shoe money” should get some English and “Google Terms of Service” lessons from you. You really seem to be on top of both.
I just love your post title: “Dental practices of some dentists websites online is questionable.” Well, I guess that says it all. Again, thank you so much for sharing your extremely insightful thoughts with us. Maybe you should also quote the part of the “Google Terms of Service” that has been violated by this SEO company, This would defiantly help a lot.
You are quite funny Steve. Surely you must know that the title of this particular post was partially chosen to help drive traffic to this blog for particular keywords. I certainly agree it could be phrased differently.
Strictly speaking most webmasters do not always follow Google’s Terms of Service. Google does however recommend that a webmaster “Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings. A good rule of thumb is whether you’d feel comfortable explaining what you’ve done to a website that competes with you. Another useful test is to ask, Does this help my users? Would I do this if search engines didn’t exist?”
The point of this post is that it is certainly not smart for a dentist to pay a company to attempt to link build to their dental practice’s website with links containing uneducated comments on blogs and forums. All this does in annoy webmasters and crowd the internet with garbage and junk that no one cares for.
For example georgeshoemoney wrote this comment in regards to my post http://blog.teethremoval.com/third-molar-patient-information-dvd/
“It always depends on how a surgeon studies different case of every wisdom.”
I have since deleted this useless comment which is not worthy of a link to skyedental.com.
There is no way Tuuyen Do, DDS, who is the dentist at Skye Dental in Milpitas, CA, is going around posting these kind of comments on blogs and forums. She is paying stratforce.com to hire uneducated individuals who do not properly speak English to post these comments in an attempt to increase her search engine rankings. She should be embarrassed. My point is is that other dentists should not follow in her footsteps with their dental practice.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with link building through blog comments. The blog owner is obviously not familiar with SEO. Link building through blog posts is a standard practice used by 10,000s of legitimate SEOs and there is nothing “tricky” about it. I would be very careful making wrongful claims on the internet that you can’t back up with facts.
Brad, I practice link building through commenting on blog posts quite frequently myself. I am aware this is a widely used practice.
My issue is with signature line spammers on forums and posting uneducated comments on blogs with an extra link in the body of the comment.
For example georgeshoemoney created many forum posts on my website forum and has done so on other websites forums. He creates a signature so that all of his posts have a link to skyedental.com using the link ‘Dentist in Milpitas’ or other sites/link combinations.

I agree with the last commenter that blog comments and forum posts should not be spammy, but rather provide useful information regarding the topic being discussed.
The fact that some blog and forum owners do not delete some comments and posts is probably due to carelessness or lack of understanding how to manage a blog or forum.
your post is very informative and had lots of useful information..thanks for posting…
Since there is so much competition among dentists, unfortunately some dentists (if they know how their sites are being promoted) justify these practices in the pursuit of more patients.
It is a herculean task to get authentic and informatics blog but this blog seems highly
reliable because information available on this blog is very realistic
