What Is A SEO Search Footprint?

A footprint is the “track” left on the internet that can be used to locate specific pages on the internet or find specific types of “scripts” that you can submit to.

Link to a deep page instead of to your Home/Main page
Do not vary the Anchor Text when going after a specific keyword
IP Diversity is a good thing... even at the expense of Page Rank. Which means that links from
many IP addresses is a good thing, even if they don’t have great page rank.

How Can You Find these Footprints?
Basic Query
The easiest and most basic search you can use when looking for the various “Platforms” is the “Powered
By” query.

You simply take the phrase “powered by” and the entire platform name or the first part, (e.g., “powered
by [platform]”, “powered by phpbb”)

Examples:

Site:edu "SMF register forum"

Site:edu "forums register"

"Powered by vbulletin" "Powered by phpbb" "Powered by pligg"
