If you are successful and have a lot of traffic on your sites, it is a good time to manage it, therefore choose a good Traffic Management System, or to give it a good go in some other way.
I’ve already wrote about achieving better traffic conversion level, but this subject is a bit different. Imagine a system of 100 sites united by a system that always observes your traffic and sends sufers there, where they are needed at this very moment. I have started using TMS since traffic on my sites became so heavy that I couldn’t manage it myself.
Personally I use TMS written for my purposes personally, but there are a lot of free and paid TMSs that can help webmasters to manage traffic.
In case if you are aware of such TMS, report here to let everybody appreciate abilities and start using TMS with their own sites. You can also give opinions about your experience with TMS, or your thoughts about TMS - positive or negative - I’d gladly discuss it.

For the purpose of analyzing public webmaster’s opinion I have a few questions, which I’d be very pleased to receive answers for:
1. What do you consider to be “Black optimization, Grey optimization”? I mean give examples of methods which you consider black and/or gray, regardless of whether you use it or not?
2. How many time do you spend daily for SEO?
3. Is SEO your main work or just hobby?
4. Are you investing in SEO, or think that it is just source for money, so you are just earning money (of cource domain names and hosting are not considered as investing).
5. How do you fight lazyness? 
Yes, it is a problem of lots of people, and it is a problem of mine too. I think many people around here will appreciate some methods of self-motiavtion.
Hope this poll will be interesting for you and that answers for these questions will make you smile and find something interesting to consider in further work. Let’s share useful tips making our job better.

Whad domain zones do you mainy use to build your sites on? I mean domain zones: com, net, org, biz, cc, tv and so on?
Personally, I used only .com domains to build sites, but recently I started making my sites on .info domains. Why? Absolutely no reason Just I do it and that’s it.
However, making sites on some regional domains like .de, .fr, .co.uk, etc. you must consider specialities of regional search. For instance www.google.ru has two options - “Search web” and “Pages from Russia”, while www.google.de has three options - “Search web”, “Pages from Germany” and “Pages in German”. This allows surfers to search for exact location: if they need something from inside Germany, why should they specify it in search string? They just check radio box and search for what they need. It appears to be very helpful when you search for some goods, that you are willing to buy from internet shop - you definitely know that sites you find are situated in Germany, so it is more likely that the shop is in Germany and there are no additional shipping fees.
Well. What do you think? What domain zones do you prefer?

Google has made lots for last two months. It seems that the great G developes quicker than everybody around. Things we had from G for the last time:
- Google Maps (http://maps.google.com/)
- Google Earth (http://earth.google.com/)
- Google Moon (http://moon.google.com/)
- Google Wallet (in progress)
- Several Adwords and Adsense updates
- Recent PageRank and BackLinks updates
Obviously, Google is much faster than it was last year, when we’ve seen no updates for about six months. Who knows, maybe they were working on what we see right now? Anyway, I like Google more and more. Hope it will be more loyal this year.

Hi, everybody! I’m very glad that you find UptimeNews useful and that it helps you (I hope). And thank you for interesting discussions we make here: your comments. However, due to that I receive a lot of spam comments, I want to give short guidelines on writing comments:
1. This guidelines are currently concern just few vistors, who flood comments that have no significance.
2. We allow posting your urls, signatures under posts like “Visit my cool site” and URL, but we don’t accept insignificant and senseless comments, that make no sense for visitors of this site and me. For instance, I have received 4 comments, which were as follows “Cool, keep goin”, “Thanks for good article”, “Heh, good”, “Yep”. Such comments are allowed in topics like “Attention, Webmasters!”, where I asked general opinion of visitors. Other topics are for discussion and I won’t approve any comments of such kind, unless it is a comment given by author, who had good posting history before. Please, make reading interesting, do not flood it and you will enjoy this site and facilitate my job. Thanks.
P.S. This guidelines are only for those who come to spam here. I beg pardon of everybody else, but I had to write this.

Many of us are using Black Hat SEO, but many of us are having also White Hat SEO sites, or just planning to do so. Why? Because Black Hat SEO sites are dropping out sooner or later. Good sites are dropping out too, but more seldomly, so they allow you to create steady income, even though this income won’t come fast and won’t be so huge, as one can do using the dark side. However, it works and some of my site, decently made years ago are still in SERPs and giving enough money to cover my webhosting, office, tax and some other expenses. I consider this side of my work important - that’s why I’m actually writing this.
According to the guidelines of the majority of search engines - the main goal of a good site is quality, unique content. Surely, one should apply some optimization techniques, but they are probably insignificant. For instance, creating a white site I care only title tags, H1 tags containing probably the same of title tags and that’s it.
Having decided to deal with good content we acquire a problem of content. Many of us are bad writers - our hobby-horse is optimization. And many of us have no idea what to write about, even though we know keywords for future project. I have resolved this problem rewriting articles from other resources in the beginning of my white side career. Again - rewriting, not copying. Moreover, even though a search engine wouldn’t recognize simility of rewritten text with the original one - people will. I had such problem too - after spending a week rewriting articles from site about phones I’ve received a note from webmaster of this site, who noticed my articles in SERPs higher than his own He said that he’s going to punish me (I didn’t understood the way he was going to do this), but however. Actually I don’t care such letters, but such letters is a sign that my site is not completely white. After this letter I have started another site and doing in the following way: I open a lot of sites on my new site subject, read articles, spend some time thinking about it and write my own articles based on the idea of those I have read.
The third step of writing content for white sites made my experience. After writing a lot of articles I have finaly felt that I can write ‘em by my own.
Keep writing good content and you’ll achieve the hilltop

A great piece of our work is reading, researching, testing. Reading takes a lot of time, but since Google has actually hidden all it’s plans from webmasters, the majority of news sources and forums are speaking, respeaking and rerespeaking hackneyed subjects. Though somebody wants to increase their news rating, people start to write senseless “news” full of tips and “know-how’s” they assure you are cool. Experienced webmasters pay no attention to this, but a lot of novice webmasters are spending a lot of valuable time reading this and trying to embody this nonsense in their projects. Here are just a few tips to avoid such things – guess about things you’ve read? Do they seem logical? Do they correspond any technique you have already checked to be working yet? Always discuss such articles on reliable and reputable forums – serious webmasters don’t like to share their secrets, but they will however tell you that it’s nonsense. Use domains and sites specially dedicated for research to try new techniques – don’t ever start doing something you aren’t sure in on working projects. Anyway – experiencing doubt with something new and having no idea where to discuss it – feel free to mail me at grendelsbann@yahoo.com - we’d manage to discuss anything related to SEO.
