John,
It wouldn’t increase your pagerank….but cutting edge SEO says that it could increase your rankings.

In relationship to page rank(for any and all S.E’s) will offline advertising increase online page rank, via people doing a search for a URL or company name and clicking on it. Another words, they see your advertisment in a newspaper, and search for you on the net in a search bar not the address bar. Does this increase the popularity of your page rank and presumably push it up.
I guess a better way to state it is:
If hundreds of people a day did a search for xyz company, would that have an effect on xyz’s page rank?

[...] I recently posted a question to Jim Boykin’s recent “Ask Jim” post, where he requested SEO related question from his readers. I posted simply “content, or links” to his request. He gave a concise reply today, which you can find here. [...]

how do you get your google serp data that you use in your tools and for monitoring domains? the google api is what google suggests but i read that it is not very accurate.

what do you suggest for consultants, developers, and site owners?
… use google api for custom set of data?
… use and adapt to dandy seo tools such as those at webuildpages.com?
… buy a piece of software that claims to get accurate results?
… build a custom scraper?
… use a free scraper that’s already out there?
… one search at a time on google.com?
… other?

it seems to me it is in google’s best interest to provide a legitimate and easy method for site owners, developers, and consultants to obtain this data. having all these “hollow queries” going through the front door would surely seem to skew their user data.

thanks again (for my second question)
chris

Jim, I had a site that ranked very well in MSN and Yahoo for a very competitive keyphrase. After about 18 months I hit Google and begin climbing in the rankings. #80 was my best rank, now I can’t be found in any of the big 3. Not anywhere in the top 1000 results. I have been doing the same thing. On topic link building. Any tips?

hey jim,

here’s - what I consider - a tricky question: Person A buys an old expired domain that had tons of content on it. Now that Person A owns the domain, who owns all the old content (assuming the old owner didn’t copyright).. In your opinion, does Person A have the right to re-publish the articles/info?

Ok - no more site reviews please. other questions are ok. Those who requested site reviews I’ll be contacting first to verify ownership of those sites (I’ll make you create a jim.htm page).
Other questions are fine…just no more site reviews.
I’ll be answering these all very soon in new blog posts.
Thanks again,
Jim
