SEO and social media: A perfect combo

2010-05-23T00:49:00.000-07:00

Multi-channel marketing has always been held in high esteem - long before search engine optimisation and behavioural advertising took off.

Firms have always been encouraged to be experimental, use a broad range of promotions and appeal to as wide an audience as possible. So it is hardly surprising that digital marketing professionals are touting the benefits of combining SEO and social media.

Online marketing expert Eric Popczun claimed that together search engine marketing and social media advertising work in perfect harmony. He claimed that any business worth their salt will combine the two channels to make the most of their SEO strategy.

This is by no means a cutting-edge opinion. As mentioned above, businesses have been combining marketing channels since the dawn of time, and practically every SEO Company on the planet has realised that all content needs to be search engine optimised - whether it is going on a company website, in an email newsletter or on Twitter. But what it does show is that SEO and social media use is becoming more commonplace.

However, as well as the many positives of combining search engine optimisation with other digital marketing strategies, the increased use of relatively new technologies has its downsides.

According to anti-virus and internet security company Kaspersky, businesses should be wary of hackers when using a combination of social media and search engine optimisation to promote their wares.

David Emm, a senior security researcher at Kaspersky Labs, said many companies are being compromised security-wise by not taking precautions when using social networks.

"What we're seeing here is a social networking version of the standard phishing method," Mr Emm said.

He added: "What makes it more pernicious is that if you get a speculative approach from this bank or that bank, you're not going to respond to that, but if it comes from someone you know or trust then obviously you're more likely to click on it."

So it seems that just because businesses are finally understanding the importance of SEO (search engine optimisation) and social media marketing, this does not mean they have to get complacent when using the channels....

Google Voice invites for students

2010-05-14T10:05:00.000-07:00

We’ve found that Google Voice can be useful in many different ways to many different people. But one group of people that it’s especially well-suited for is students. We’ve heard college students in particular really appreciate getting their voicemail sent to their email, sending free text messages and reading voicemail transcriptions rather than listening to messages (especially handy while in class).

But since Google Voice is currently only available by invite, a lot of students are still listening to voicemail and sending text messages the old-fashioned way. As a recent college graduate, I can’t think of anything more painful! So starting today, we’ll be giving priority Google Voice invites to students. To get an invite, just visit google.com/voice/students and enter an email address that that ends in .edu.

So if you’re a student, submit your email address and a Google Voice invite will arrive in your inbox within 24 hours. Keep in mind that only one invite will be be sent per email address and Google Voice is currently only available in the U.S. And if you’re new to Google Voice, check out our introductory videos at youtube.com/googlevoice.

Can I avoid the Sandbox?

2010-05-14T02:21:00.001-07:00

Definitely. Before placing it in the Sandbox, Google gives every new site the initial SERPs boost. If during this short period you manage to "gain Google’s trust" by providing quality and unique content and acquiring a decent number of natural links from other sites, including authorities, you might just skip the probation period. Of course there’s nothing sure here, cause after all we’re talking about Google… But this site for example has never experienced Sandbox, as one of its first articles gained lots of exposure and natural links.
Of course, the best method for avoiding sandbox is to buy an older site (could be expensive though). This will also bring the "age bonus factor" into equation, proving to be useful later on, as we know how much weight does Google put on age in his ranking algorithm.

My site is in the Sandbox. How can i get out? Help!
First of all, there’s no need to panic. This "sandbox problem" sounds worse then it is. With a little bit of work and a decent amount of patience, most of the sites will get over it. So, let’s see what every site owner should do once he is sure his site is affected by a devaluation:

build quality and most importantly, unique content. Give each page an unique title and description (Meta tags of course). Also, each post should have 250 characters (that’s just my opinion) of unique content at a minimum.

Get more trusted links. I would not recommend on site wide links (also there are others claiming otherwise), but links inside the content for old and established sites, preferably authorities from your domain.

build links slowly (no more than 10 each week

don’t get only links pointing towards your home page but also deep links. This helps your site seem less "hollow". After all, if we’re talking about natural links, it’s more then normal that other sites would link to the posts they like rather than your home page, no?

don’t panic and don’t use Black or Grey methods. Anything from spamming to buying links (except buying links inside posts, that would appear to be 100% natural, which are recommended) should be out of the question.

Is Google Doomed to Repeat the Mistake of "New Coke?"

2010-05-13T02:17:00.000-07:00

What do Coca-Cola and Google have in common?

Well, aside from the fact that they both have a secret recipe for their success--Coke's ingredients and Google's algorithm--they don't have much in common. However, after Google decided to make a massive change to its search interface, that could soon change.

Flash back to 1985, when Coca-Cola decided it would be a good idea to change the recipe it had used for around 100 years. This New Coke was better tasting--early taste-testers loved it--and it should have been a huge hit among Coke drinkers. Long story short? It wasn't. It bombed. Coca-Cola was forced to admit defeat and bring back its "Classic" recipe.

Fast forward to 2010 and Google launches a new interface for its search results. Not just a few minor tweaks--searchers have happily accepted those over the past 10+ years. No, this is a major overhaul of the logo, the layout, the fonts, the navigation. Just about everything changed. Heck, our Google results even have more caffeine now!

So, the question is, will Google users love the "New Google" or complain until Google brings back "Google Classic?" Well, it's still too early to tell, but there's already a lot of complaining going on at Google's official help groups. Someone's even found a way to switch your Google interface back to the way it was--before Google messed with it.

The question remains: are users complaining because--let's face it--none of us like change, or will these grumblings of discontent turn users to the alternative taste of Pepsi...sorry, Bing.

What do you think of the new Google interface? Do you love it or hate it? Or are you more of a Sierra Mist kind of person?

Why Seniors Need Attraction Marketing

2008-09-07T03:21:00.000-07:00

Senior Citizens today are fearful of out living their money. Although living longer is a good thing, what ndo we do if we out live our money and are faced with the loss of our independent living. What do we do?

For that reason, we can be a natural in this marketing system called Attraction Marketing. Most business out there fail,the network marketing business in particular, because they focus on what it is they need and want and not what it is their potential clients need and want.

In a successful business, you must focus on what your clients needs and wants are first and try to fill them. In order for you to gain what you want out of your business you must first help your clients get what they want.

Seniors are perhaps more eager to help others than some younger generations. We do not want to become a burden on friends and family. We have a need to stay independent and help others do the same.

I know that was my goal when I first got involved in the Attraction Marketing System. Of course the additional income was a plus since it will allow me to maintain my independent living situation which is very important to me. Independent living is very important to us. We do not want to becomr a burden on friends and family.

Why the computer and internet for seniors. Because they will never be asked the questions normal employers will ask them when looking for work to help make ends meet.You might ask why? Unlike the average employer out there, the internet never ask questions like how old are you, what is your work history, are you healthy or disabled? The internet does not care. The only thing that matters is what you know and what you do. And the internet does not care how fast or slow you do it. You work at your own speed.

Many seniors are turning to the computer and looking for ways to start their own home business. But we realize that any business starting out will require something we cannot afford to waste. Time and money. Our age and ,many times our fixed incomes, simply means we do not want to spend a lot of time and money on research and trial and error.

This is why I got so excited when I was introduced to the Attraction Marketing System. It is a system, when done right, will not take a ton of time or money for the system to work for you. You must learn to work smart and not hard. Use this system to put your marketing on auto pilot.

It is designed in such a way that your potential clients will be looking for you and not the other way around. Can you think how much faster you business will grow along with your income if you only need to spent time with people who have saught you out and said"hay, I saw what you are doing and like what I see and want to join you and learn more". That is Attraction Marketing.

For anyone looking to start a home business or if you are someone who has been at for some time and not happy with your results, you need to learn this system. This marketing system will work for you regardless of the business your in.

They say about 95%,or so, of all business fail within two years. Learn this system and you will not be one of them?

The number one reason is the incredible lack of training and support that is out there. Most the time you join a program that sounds good to you and after you join, you find that the actual training is nil. Oh, they give you a ton of tools to use, which don't work, but for the most part, they just sit back and say "go get em big boy". Have you heard that before? Or what training the do have is simply a rehash of the same old thing that's been taught for the past 40-50 years. Thay no longer, if ever it did, times have changed. And on top of that, if it did work, it takes a ton of the two things that seniors do not have to spare, time and money.

That's why this thing called Attraction marketing is of such impotence, not only to seniors but to anyone not flush with a lot of cash or a lot of time, age or other wise, to spend on building a business. I think that would most likely apply to most of us.

Anyone who is serious about building a business with the use of a computer and the internet, needs to learn this marketing system. Times have changed and the internet is in constant change. You must be willing to learn new ways of doing things if you want to succeed. This is a must if your new or you've been around for a few months or years. Take the time to learn this system right and you will be well on your way to reaching your goals whatever they are.

Good Seo Tips to know what Search Engines want

2008-09-05T02:24:00.000-07:00

Let us take a look at what search engines want. Every single search engine is looking for words, they want lots of words, they want lots of original words, the want lots of original words that make sense. This is what they crawl and this is what they are good at ranking. More content and less fluff will improve search engine friendliness of your website.
What do we mean by fluff? Always make sure that most of the things from your sidebar that are not related to this blog in a content kind of way are removed. Things like:
» I am listed on xyz (here am I blowing my own trombone, and you have to get to know that.)
» I support this and that (the committee for prevention of cruelty to overworked imaginations, the society for the saving of purloined umbrellas , and I would like it very much if you would join me in these committees too. By the way they have been started by me, and you just need nine dollars to join which will go into the CCFPJ fund - caring and cherishing of Forsythe P Jones to keep him in hamburgers and videogames…)
» These people visited this site and were wearing pink pajamas, singing yaaa ya yippee yippee yah when they came swinging down the mountain.
» I am a member of this site, that club, that committee, that society and they would like to know everything about you. You can even give them the name of your dentist.

» I like these pictures… I really do not know much of art , but I know what I like
» Vote for me here and there… I am standing for the most popular bore contest.
» Subscribe here . Except for your own personal newsletter, do not ask everybody to subscribe to newsletters which are going to tell them about absolutely nothing at all in the shape of spam.
Follow me here » etc, etc… not only are these articles boring, but they are tiresome.
This things are OK if you run a blog or a site with lots and lots of visitors that actually click on this fluff and you get results. If you want a SEO friendly site and if you want no distractions then, it is necessary that you get rid of them.
What does (can) belong into your sidebar:
» latest posts - these are links to your post, more PR material , and indexing of your site
» your best work - post you are proud of, things you want people to read, again links to these post will give them better SERP’s.
» archives - let people find your old posts . You also have plenty of potential matter to make any future e-books.
» RSS feed button - only one, just in case someone want to subscribe to your feed.

Role of Reciprocal links in SEO

2008-08-23T01:13:00.000-07:00

After proving that link exchanges really work to help search engine rankings, I was bombarded with requests asking about my successful method for getting reciprocal links. Instead of answering each person individually, I decided to put up an article that will help everyone who is struggling with getting responses to their link request emails.

And that's the big problem with link exchange requests, isn't it? They are often ignored. If you have the words "link exchange" or "reciprocal link" or anything like that in the email subject, the email will be unceremoniously deleted by 95% of webmasters. The other 5% probably aren't worth trading links with.

Why is that? It's because thousands of webmasters are using automated tools to crank out the link request emails, trying to get links to junk sites that have little real content and even less value. Because of this, webmasters have been conditioned to ignore link request emails.

First, Don't Ask For Link: Pay A Compliment and Give a Link

I solved this problem by not asking for a link in my "link request" email. In fact, I don't even mention a link at all!

Does it seem counter-intuitive to not ask for a link request in my emails which are designed to get a link to my site? It probably does. But if you ask for a link, you'll just get your email deleted, so you need to take an alternate route.

My subject line is usually something like:

"I'd love to add your site to my directory!"

Then, in the message body, I tell the webmaster what I like about their site and ask them to add their site to my directory. (Note: You should always pay the webmaster a personalized compliment so that they know your request wasn't cranked out by a machine.)

Wouldn't you be much more motivated to open up an email that says the person would love to add your site to their directory than to open one that says "Link exchange request" or something impersonal like that?

They Add Their Link To Your Directory, And Then ...

Once the webmaster adds their link to your directory, only then do you ask for a link back. Once they've already been given a generous link by you, most often those same webmasters will return the favor. In fact, I generally see about a 70% reciprocal link rate.

For the other 30%, they are still a valuable addition to my directory, so I keep them in there, but I mark their links with the rel="no follow" attribute so I don't lose any page rank for a webmaster who won't return the favor.

Do The Math

In the typical, unproductive scenario, you might send out 100 emails asking for a link back. You might get 10% to open the email at all, and of those who do only 20% actually swap links with you. That's 100 emails times 10% who open, or 10 people who actually read the email. Of those 10, 20% swap links with you, so you end up with only 2 links. Ouch!

Using my method, I get a solid 50-60% who open the email, followed by 70% who swap links with me. So I end up with 100 times 50%, or 50 email readers, times 70%. So I end up with 35 links. That's more than 17 times as productive as the clunky old method.

But it still takes work, which is why I recommend using SEO Elite to automate the process of finding and emailing potential link partners.

Looking For The Most Successful Home Based Businesses

2008-08-03T03:33:00.000-07:00

You probably have asked yourself at some stage, "what are the most successful home based businesses?" Well, the answer is that what is successful today may not be successful in a years time, as the online business world changes very fast. We all start out with the intention of being successful, but some fail to achieve this goal.

What may be popular today may be non-existent tomorrow. There is so much competition on the internet that it is difficult to keep a successful business going for very long. A small number of companies and opportunities manage to maintain consistent success over the years. However, there is always competition to be faced from energetic new businesses that have emerged recently. So what are the most successful home based businesses as things stand today?

One of the most successful businesses by far is the plug-in profit site. This business has been around for several years now and has helped a number of internet marketing newbies develop into some of the top internet marketers online. There are several programs that come with this business and amazing assistance from everyone within the business.

A successful home business that is fairly new is Success University. Although this is considered an affiliate program, it has developed into an extremely successful home based business that people can get involved with. With this program, you will learn everything you need to with motivation, leadership and marketing techniques. From there, you can teach others and sell the program itself to become very successful yourself.

One of the newest programs that can already be considered a successful home based business is Abunza. Abunza is an opportunity that offers you incredible support and amazingly delivers a 100 percent commission. This is something very few programs and businesses on the internet offer.

Now, this will require more effort and imagination, but why not start an enterprise from scratch, instead of just asking what are the most successful home based businesses at present. If you can get started working for your self, then that is often the most successful business idea you can have. The rewards from succeeding in your own small business can surpass being involved with even the most successful home business company on the internet, and can be well worth the time and effort needed to establish yourself.

The internet has opened up opportunities in many different ares, so look carefully for the best. You need to be a little bit careful here, as not all companies that are currently successful will be able to adapt sufficiently to survive as the business world changes. The safe route to take is to start your own business and develop it until you are successful on your own.

Two things which you make sucess

2008-07-18T02:20:00.000-07:00

I struggled for a long time and got nowhere with my online business. But it's now beginning to turn around.

Here are a couple of things that I've personally done that are starting to get me some traction. This is not to say I'm a guru. I'm not. Yet. But things are beginning to go my way.

I hope these will provide some support to people who are in the down period with their online business - when you've discovered that you don't just put up a site and make millions.

Here we go:

1) Listen to your gut feel.

One of the things that attracted me to the business I joined was the promise of a pre-written email sequence to follow up with my opt-ins. In order to understand what people who opted in to my site were experiencing I opted in to my own site. And I was thoroughly dismayed.

The emails that came out were the epitome of 'interruption marketing' (hat tip to Seth Godin). They were full of SCREAMING and orders to DO THIS RIGHT NOW.

Most people who received those emails didn't much like them, so they hit the 'Spam' button pretty regularly. As a result, the delivery rate, which was low a year ago, became so low that by this year it was zero. And the pre-written emails were scrapped.

Luckily (and much to the disapproval of my sponsor at the time) I set up my own lead capture page, wrote or edited my own follow up emails, set up my own Aweber account and kept my optins well away from the 'official' email sequence. And my delivery rate has been consistently over 97%.

This is not meant as a brag. My point is this: there was a lot of pressure for me to use the 'company' system, and that would have been the easy option. But I was very uncomfortable at the thought of emails like that going out in my name, and using my email address as the 'reply to' address.

So I followed my gut feel and did my own thing - as much to protect my reputation as anything.

It's not easy to do your own thing when you're new in a business and your sponsor is encouraging you in the direction of the company system.

But, when your gut feel tells you otherwise, you should listen very carefully. And, as long as you're not breaking any terms or conditions, following your gut feel is usually not going to take you too far wrong.

2) Give others the benefit of your experience so that they can find success more quickly.

When I first set up a blog I thought that it had to be a marketing channel for my business. I was still finding my feet in the business and most of the benefits that I wrote about were simply re-stated from the company conference calls, emails and website.

Nothing I wrote at that time described my own experience. And when I read those early posts now I am, frankly, embarrassed. I also had about 1 visitor a week.

Then I realised that I could use my blog to provide support to others who were at the same stage I was. That I could actually provide something of value. It's also a very efficient way to provide support to people in my downline.

So I started to write about my own struggles and the things I'd learned, rather than pushing the business. The difficulties and successes I'd had and how I'd dealt with them.

Since then, my readership has gone up steadily and I actually enjoy writing my weekly post now - whereas before it was one of those tasks that loomed over me.

If you write about your own personal experiences it's much easier to draw people into your circle because, strange as it may seem, people can 'hear' that what you're writing is real.

It's a lot easier to get sales from people with whom you already have a relationship!

Just be sure to make a clear connection between what you're writing about and the focus of your blog!

So - two things that have helped to get things going my way:

1) Listening to my gut feel.

2) Using my experiences to offer support to others.

Article Marketing To Grow Your Business

2008-07-15T02:07:00.000-07:00

Article marketing is one of the easiest and most effective types of website promotion. Simply by writing articles that center on aspects of your website's theme and submitting them to top article directories, you will begin to see a pickup in website traffic. If you are not a confident writer, then you can easily and affordably hire a ghost writer for your writing projects.

Well written articles can bring you free website traffic from a huge increase in back links. The key to your success with article marketing is twofold. Firstly, your articles need to be well written, informative and relevant to your website. Secondly, you need to write and submit articles to high traffic websites regularly. Article marketing won't work as a website promotion strategy if you are simply doing it occasionally, you have to work to a regular writing and submission routine so that the number of back links increase over time.

The back links from other directories are important for website promotion in two different ways. They are a link from the article to your site that very interested readers of your article can follow and therfore, they are a means for highly targeted traffic to reach your site. They also serve an important SEO (search engine optimization) service because the search engine algorithms use the number of relevant, one way back links to your website as an important factor in assigning your ranking on search results pages.

Article marketing is effective as a website promotion technique because other websites and ezines can find your articles in article directories and publish your articles with a link to your website in the resource bio. Most article directories do not allow you to place embedded links in your article but do allow you to include links and marketing information in your resource box that appears below the article.

Your resource bio info can attract free website traffic by highlighting your expertise and anything you are particularly marketing with a link to relevant pages. People who wish to use your article on their website or in their ezine must agree to keep your resource information intact.

You can choose to write an informative article about some aspect of your business that a reader may be interested in, alternatively you can write a product review designed to encourage your reader to take the next step and buy (or at least consider buying) the product. Many internet entrepreneurs use article marketing to direct people to their website to offer them a free e-book or subscription to a newsletter so that they can build an opt-in email list for ongoing marketing purposes. Article marketing is one of the best ways to pre-sell a product because it allows you to gain enough credibility with your reader that they are more inclined to click on your resource box link to discover more.

Article marketing is a highly effective tactic to attract free targeted traffic to your website. You may have a great product and a excellent sales-pitch, but without targeted website traffic your online business will be going nowhere. However, if you are committed to writing at least one article a day and submit those articles to high traffic article directories as well as directories that have high search engine ranks, you will soon find that you will have incredible website visitors that are knocking on your online door.

Making Money With Your Blog Is Possible

2008-07-08T03:07:00.000-07:00

As an indication of where we are as a society, there are a number of blogging business opportunities available for people who know their way around the Internet. With all sorts of interesting things like Google AdSense and other ways for people to get paid, the blog business opportunity is bigger than ever. You should be careful if you are going to consider this because you need to know how the rules are played and you need to know what counts and what does not and you need to know how you will get paid. All of these are things to consider and things which should be known when you are considering the blog business opportunity.

Blog is short for "web log", which is basically just someone's account of what happened somewhere. If a business owner wants to give more details about his business and opportunity, that's considered valid. Also considered a legitimate blog would be a theater producer that blogs about the theater. If someone maintains a blog who is a disgruntled graveyard shift worker at a hotel, they have a blog subject that is valid. What's fun about the many business opportunities is the ability to turn them all into cash.

Blogging for money is the same as anything else and it's all about driving traffic to your blog. The more people who read your blog then the more money you are likely to make. There is the added bonus that you can put advertisements on your blog that are related to your topic of your blog or the subjects of your various posts and these can make you money as well. Some would say that with the different ways to make money blogging, the old "website" may start to become a thing of the past. While that statement may be a little bit ahead of its time, there will likely be a day when webpages as we know them today are no longer. The blog is a comfortable format that we are all very familiar with as we've all had to keep journals in grade school and many of us probably kept diaries outside of school. So we all are familiar with the daily entry format of the single thought process that goes along and takes you from one thing to the next to the next.

Fortunately for those of us who enjoy the blog as a medium, they are sort of like the diary of the Internet. Diaries are still around today just as they were hundreds of years ago. So with the introduction of this new technology, turning the blog into a business opportunity seems a great thing to do right now. If you are beginning to wonder where the future is headed, we may already be here; if you are not familiar with the blog as a business opportunity and you have anything at all original to say then you had better get familiar with it really quick.

Marketing Tips to Trump Your Competition

2008-06-23T01:09:00.000-07:00

Business owners all over the nation are feeling the pinch from new small businesses cropping up in every niche imaginable. New businesses offline and online are starting to crowd markets that previously were dominated by only a few niche businesses. And, due to the Internet, consumers can buy anything they want from the business of their choice from the comfort of their homes. Location doesn’t hinder buying practices any longer.

To make sure you don’t lose customers in the crowded business market, try to employ these tips into your marketing plan:

1. Know your competition. You need to understand as much as possible about your competition – what products do they sell? Who is their marketing targets? If their targets are the same as yours, you need to know so that you can be sure to offer incentives to your target market to shop with you instead of your competition. This information can help you directly: let’s say a brochure printing company offers many types of brochure printing services that their competitor doesn’t – the brochure printing company needs to bring that fact out in the open and spell it out for potential customers. If one company can print full color brochures and the other one can’t, that’s a distinct advantage that customers need to know about and it only comes from knowing the competition.

Also, iIf you find that your competition offers products or services that are selling well, you may want to take a look at your offerings to see if you can expand your product line to include similar products to gain some market share.

2. Try a new target market. If you feel you’ve reached everyone in your target market, then you may need to go after a new target to expand your business. You could extend your product line to include more people that might want your products or you could offer variations of your product that will garner sales from an entirely new set of customers. If you target a new market, you’ll need to come up with some different marketing materials – full color brochures that work for one group may not work for another. A television commercial that appeals to one group, like teens, won’t have the same effect if you turn your sights onto an adult niche. Be sure to alter your marketing campaign accordingly.

3. Mix up your sales techniques. If you’re currently selling only through your brick-and-mortar store, adding another sales technique, such as catalogs or on the Internet, can increase your sales. By giving your customers more choices to reach you, it’ll be easier for them to spend money with you rather than your competition.

4. Don’t only use discounts. Although offering discounts is one of the more widely-used marketing tactics, that doesn’t necessarily make it the best one. If you and your competition offer the same product or service, and you discount yours, you could end up looking cheap and customers will get suspicious. People might wonder what’s wrong with your company that makes you have to offer a discount. So instead of going the discount route, offer something with more value – like one-on-one time with a consultant.

5. Get customer feedback. You may think you know what your customers want, but the definition of what they want can change in an instant. Make sure that you keep up with their changing tastes and trends by asking them – either directly when they’re in your store or through surveys. You can post a survey on your Web site, email surveys or send them through the postal mail. If you use brochure printing as a marketing tactic, include a link to the survey on your Web site. When you solicit this feedback, be sure to include an incentive, like a free or discounted item to make it worth your customers’ time to give you this important feedback.

Managing and Investing Your Time Well With Home Based Business

2008-06-21T01:56:00.000-07:00

Laying the foundation for a successful business involves two key aspects: time management and market research. If you can work efficiently at home and find the right niche with considerable profit potential, you are very likely to come out ahead in your home-based venture.

Getting your home business up and running will require a larger investment of time at the beginning, but the need to organize your work time effectively will never end. Discover the secrets to home-based business success so that you can enjoy what you do and prosper.

Practical Considerations for Working at Home

1) Have a separate office. You must distinguish when and where you work from the rest of your life at home. Your productivity depends on it. Use a calendar and track your work time to keep yourself focused on your tasks and goals.

2) Minimize the distractions of modernity. You will accomplish far more if you do not allow phone calls and other interruptions unrelated to your business to intrude on your work time.

Researching the Market - A Worthwhile Investment

Merely being a good time manager will not guarantee success, especially if you don't choose the ideal business before you start working. Finding a winning niche will yield big payoffs once your business is up and running. So make the investment before you begin to make sure you will be directing your efforts in a lucrative direction.

If you can discover a segment of the market that has a need or problem you can uniquely address, you may have a gem of a niche that is just waiting to jump on your offer. Before you move ahead with your idea though, take time to research the following:

- Short term and long term demand: Is there a current market for what you offer? Will your product or service continue to sell to the same group of people and get you valuable repeat business or will you be limited one-time purchases?

- Competition: Who else might be offering the same thing? If you have direct competition, you will need to examine those companies thoroughly and find ways to surpass them. You need to win over their customers in addition to drawing and keeping your own.

- Prospects: Will your product bring in paying customers? Make sure the same thing is not already available online for free. Your offerings should be unique, valuable and attractive.

A huge percentage of home based businesses never get off the ground because of poor planning and follow through. You can avoid failure when you discover and implement these secrets to home-based business success. By structuring your home environment to allow you to work effectively and researching the market to choose the best business niche, you stand a better than average chance of being counted among the success stories in home based business.

How To Buy Backlinks To Improve Your Rankings

2008-06-09T01:09:00.000-07:00

Finding the best deals is one of the best ways to get rich. That alone should be enough to motivate you to make a bit of research.

You can start by using search engines and forums. Forums related to making money online, that have sections where to buy, trade or swap links are the ones you should look for. The more popular the forum the better.

Here is what to look for when buying links.

Side wide links are not as much powerful as they seem. A site wide link means you get a link from all the pages, or many pages within the same website. For example ten thousand backlinks from a website which has ten thousand pages.

The thing is that Google does not count a lot of backlinks from the same site. They will not count as ten thousand backlinks for sure. But obviously you still get some value.

More deals you can find include, article submission, directory submission or links from a network of blogs. You cannot buy five different directory submission services, because probably they will submit to the same sites. For directory submissions find out the best deal, take your time on proper research. Usually a deal where you get a thousand directory submissions is good.

Article submission again you need to make sure you are not buying services where you get submissions to the same directories. You need to ask for a list or sample of the directories.

Once again, a deal where they submit to a thousand article directories is great. It is not suggested to keep researching for a better deal, because it will be very hard if you are not very lucky.

Remember buying links can also mean a lot of links fast pointing to your website. It is not bad at all, however you need to make sure you use different anchor texts. Create some variations of your main keyword and use all of them. Some six or eight variations is probably enough.

Variations means simple pick up your keyword like for example blue cars then create new keywords out of it, but always use your main keyword.

We get blue cars for sale, cheap blue cars, low cost blue cars, blue cars cheap and so on. But you want to use your main keyword almost all of the time. Do not take this too seriously, just make sure you change it sometimes.

Another important thing to look for when buying links on a network of blogs is that the blogs are not on the same Ip address. It does not matter if they have no pagerank, but make also sure the blogs are indexed at least. A network of blogs is simple a big list of blogs.

Certain deals consist of purchasing links from high pagerank websites, but these usually are more expensive. You should not take these deals if your budget is limited. Buying a lot of links but from pagerank zero or low pagerank websites is still great. Always make sure the websites are at least indexed.

I mentioned the term deals in this article simple because the most popular services charge a monthly fee for just one link. However if your budget is limited, you need to look for deals, which exist. For more visit http://www.outranksmart.com/Affiliates

The 4 Reasons You Won't Succeed In Network Marketing

2008-06-05T01:38:00.000-07:00

Before you read this article know that it's not meant to discourage. The point of this article is to educate you on the main pitfalls of the beginning network marketer. Once you know those pitfalls you can better learn how to avoid them. Education is the one thing that will set you apart from the struggling new home business owner.

To start, the first main pitfall of new network marketers is lack of action. Now lets make the distinction between the two types of action. The first type is what I see most new Networkers do is what I call busy action.

This type of action kills new home business owners. This is the type of action where you can find 14 different things to do other than build your business.

You know exactly what I'm talking about, this is what is termed "getting ready to get ready." I suffered from this for about three years and I try to help others break away from busy work.

The second type of action is revenue producing action. This type of action is how you make your money, mainly talking to prospects and getting your advertising out there.

Well now that we're talking about advertising that leads me to my second downfall. The second downfall is when network marketers have a severe lack of marketing dollars. If you're not investing in your business then you're obviously not taking it seriously anyways. This is what Jeffrey Combs refers to as a "hobby" not a business.

If you want a hobby income then treat your business like a hobby. If you want a full time income that you can quit your job with then treat it like a business. So a marketing budget for every month is essential.

The third downfall is a general lack of people or prospects to talk to. If you aren't in daily contact with people you aren't being productive. Having a lack of serious prospects will kill your business fast. On the other hand, having an abundance of prospects will put you into a totally different mindset. This will put you into a prosperity mindset and will really explode your business.

The last downfall of new home business owners is underdeveloped skills. You MUST learn new skills if you want to be successful in this industry. New skills are essential to your advancement not only in this industry, but as a leader. Once you start adding value to yourself you become more attractive in the prospects eyes. When prospects actually think they can learn something from you then they will want to join you.

I suggest you start getting yourself educated and learn new skills. This will not only help your business, but it will also help your confidence. In the end the skills you have will decide your fate, so start adding value to yourself today. For more visit http://myinternetbusinessreview.org/

Web Design and SEO Tips for the Newcomer

2008-06-04T01:03:00.000-07:00

Find your Keywords!

Keywords – the words that people will use to find your website. Choosing the right keyword and being consistent with it is vital to your websites success in the search engines.

There are many tools on the market to help you make the right keyword decision. Tools such as Wordtracker will highlight keyword opportunities. We are looking for popular keywords in terms of expected traffic delivery but have a low competition score from other competing sites. This score can be called KEI.

KEI or Keyword Effectiveness Index is a measure of performance. KEI is a ratio of business against competitiveness. The lower the KEI number the harder to get results in the search engine results pages.

As a general rule avoid any keyword with a KEI of under 0.1 as this will be very difficult to target and you could be wasting your efforts.

Go for longer, perhaps 3 word keyword phrases that carry good traffic. The benefits being that they are usually easier to target and provide better, more qualified traffic. Try to avoid broad, non specific terms.

Competitors to that keyword?

Find out how many backlinks your competitor sites have - there are many to choose from, just do a search for backlinks tool. They all give varying results but don't get distracted by that, just find a tool and use that in all cases, this will ensure that the results you get are at least relative.

No1 competitor HTML

Have a good look at the top two or three websites HTML for that keyword. Have they done anything that you can improve upon? usually be looking closely at three different sites you can arrive at a best method to use for your site. Ensure that title, heading and other tags include your keywords - remember to be consistent as mentioned earlier.

Improve your HTML

Aim to write valid HTML code. The search engine robots prefer clean code and a valid site will usually guarantee that all of your site will get crawled. Always take the time to write original content too - avoid the copy / paste syndrome that plagues many sites. The search engines thrive on original content, make sure that they notice yours.

Search engines are always looking out for duplicate content and will choose not to display your pages for a given search if it thinks your site is not the originator.

Some HTML tips with SEO in mind:

Description tag - take the tine to write an appropriate description tag for every page of your site. Google will display this in it's results pages and a well written description here should lead to more searchers actually clicking your link and becoming a visitor.

Title tag - This is probably the most important piece of HTML. Always include your keywords here and write an accurate keyword rich title tag for every page of your site.

Keywords tag – It is good practice to put a list of related keywords into this tag although don't overdo it and do not include any keywords that are not relevant to your web page.

Keep the code clean, use DIVs and not Tables where possible as this has many benefits and it means the ratio of content to code is greater. Try to use your keywords in heading tags throughout the pages.

Take the time to write original copy that uses the chosen keywords throughout. Write the text for a human to read though and not as though you've written it for a search engine. Over use (or spamming) of keywords will work against you always.

Try to get the good text content as near to the top of your code as possible. You could use CSS positioning to help with this.

Navigation – Use keyword rich absolute text links with a title where possible and not relative links.

Link to the domain name itself when linking back to the homepage and not /index.html. The search engines will then find the content in one place and not try to index two URL's - a very common mistake.

To target several keywords, create several pages to do this using the above methods. You cant expect one page to perform for everything. For more visit http://www.studio-40.com/

SEO - One way links or two way links

2008-06-03T02:17:00.000-07:00

This is a big question that is playing on the mind of almost all search engine optimizers. There are many forums and blogs where this is being discussed to make it easier for the SEO analysts to know the best possible way to get backlinks. Now we all know what can more and more backlinks mean to a website when its performance on search engine results page is considered.

Let us first analyze the case of reciprocal links or two-way links. You would want your site to be linked by a PR3 and above site. This is normally possible when you too have a PR3 site else the other site administrator might not be interested for all justified reasons. But in case you have a lower page rank or no page rank at all, then it becomes a very difficult process. Why would a PR3 site link to your site when you have a zero Page rank?
There is also one more reason why one should try to avoid two ways links though it can generate more backlinks. More and more outbound links decreases the overall page rank of the site.
So today more and more sites are trying to get inbound links and that too one-way links. This is possible through article posting. Great articles when submitted in hundreds can boost up the page rank. You can post articles to sites that accept them with a link to your website. So you don’t have to link your site to others whereas your site is getting linked. But one point needs to be remembered that the articles should not be sloppy and of no use. The article should be easy to read, informative, have all the answers that one is looking for to make it viewed by more and more number of users.

Reciprocal links can be very helpful once you have already achieved a high page rank. Then you can get links easily from other PR3 and above sites. It is not always possible to continue writing great articles. It is then that the two way link procedure can be of real help. But for the initial stages article posting is no doubt a better option to get one way inbound links.

The ground rule for search engine optimization is to make your website popular on the web. When you don’t want to spend on advertisements and paid links, getting one-way links through article posting is the best possible option.

Online Way Of Marketing Your Business

2008-06-02T02:21:00.000-07:00

If you are searching for more online customers due to your business growth, then reaching online users becomes a completely new way of marketing a business. It could eventually develop into your new way of doing business completely, changing your focus, strategies and the way you do things entirely.

Website marketing and business marketing are two different styles for online marketing. With web site marketing the goal is to have people searching for particular services or products find your web site while conducting an online search through the major search engines. There are many facets involved in web site marketing and once a business is able to get them all clicking together, there is a good chance they will experience a major influx of new visitors to their web site.

One the other side are businesses that heavily promote their availability aimed at the internet users more so than the search engines. Buying internet advertisements, sending out emails and other promotional marketing materials that are designed to bring visitors to their online web sites, are just a few of the online marketing strategies being used today.

One of the things to remember with online marketing is to consider your home page as a billboard along the side of the road. If there is little traffic along the road, there will be few people who will see your billboard so your efforts should be focused on getting people on the right road. Taking it all into view, a specific brand of a personal care item may have thousands of websites, operated by different people who got their site free when they signed up.

If a person searches for the brand by name, there is no telling whose web site is going to pop up in the search results. If you own one of these thousands of sites, specific marketing will need to be done to guide that potential traffic to the site you own. To do this you can use pay-per-click advertising that you pay for based on the number of visitors who click through to your site.

Another popular way to drive customers and visitors to your website is affiliate marketing. An affiliate will drive the traffic to you, then you pay an agreed percentage or dollar amount. You'll only pay for it if your site makes a sale, therefore gaining free advertising. You could potentially turn search engines against your site by having too many unrelated links. Although link exchange programs can be good, unrelated links may turn your site sour to their results pages.

SEO - Just Add Water.....NOT!

2008-05-28T02:10:00.000-07:00

I miss the old days....life was simple. Your TV had just a few channels, your phone was attached to a wall, and the computer was cool thing to have for the few who could afford one. But times change, our world changes and technology grows. TV has 200 plus channels (and still nothing on), your phone is attached to your hip and you could not live without a computer and the Internet is filled with billions of pages.

SEO was an easy job then. It was a no brainer. It was fast, it worked and the stress was little. Well, those days are long gone and the facts of SEO are no longer as easy as it use to be. It is not a quick fix and it is an ongoing process.

Sure, there are hundreds of SEO companies available for you to choose from. Cheap ones that say they submit your site to 1000's of engines (big deal), ones that add 100's of doorway pages (look out for spam), those that promise fast top rankings (they lie). Let's face it, for SEO there is The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. But lets not focus on the bad and ugly....they may be cheap, but you get what you pay for...nothing!

SEO is not instant, not any more. You need to look at many factors, you need to be prepared to make changes, you need to be willing to work closely with your SEO expert and be willing to be in it for the long haul. SEO changes and you need to be ready to meet those changes.

You should be serious about your web site. This is your business and you need to treat it as so. Canned web sites, website templates that offer everything from stores to products to hosting and say you have no worries on updating the site and still can achieve rankings may be a bit misleading. SEO is ongoing work and one you need to be prepared to handle.

Your SEO Expert serves two purposes...to guide you in changes that you need to make to a web site and to help you optimize your web site by actually working within the site so that you can be found for relevant keyword phrases.

Your Web Site Design

It used to be that design aspects really did not matter. Well, now they do and it is a big deal. If your site is poorly designed, poorly coded and developed using complex databases or heavily graphic, you face issues. You may need to make changes, you may want to develop a new site...whatever the need, your SEO will inform you what issues may be causing the site from being read correctly.

Your Keywords

Please...generic words may seem like the best, but with billions of pages, is it really feasible? Keyword phrases are extremely important, phrases that target your audience is imperative. Your SEO expert should work with you on helping you to make the most important choices on good, targeted and precise phrases that will target your consumer or product line.

Your Content

Using your keywords in content is important for the engines. Having good content is important to your consumer as well. Lack of content is not going to help you gain on the engines and lack of content is not going to help your consumer understand your product line. Your SEO expert can provide you writing assistance for those do it yourself folks or provide you with their expert content writers. Do not be fooled...if you are not using keywords with content, how can you expect to achieve rankings for those phrases?

Your Site Link Popularity

If no one else thinks your web site is important, then why would a consumer. You web site needs to be found on relevant web sites. You need to get your site out there....it needs to be seen on other web sites. Not doing so means that even you do not think your site is important enough to share with others. Your SEO can help you achieve a successful link campaign or even consult with you on the process. This is a time consuming task, and it needs to be done right. I mean, you want you site to be seen on the best of sites, so take the time to consider getting a link to those sites that can help you be seen as an expert in your product field.

Your Blog

Funny word...Blog. I mean, what does it really mean? Who came up with it...well who cares. What is important is that they are fabulous for helping with you SEO campaign. They are informative, they are easy to navigate, they contain content and so much more. Bogs are the way to go to help enhance your site. Again, your SEO can help you by developing a blog, you can easily learn to maintain it, keep it fresh, keep it current.

Conclusion

Sure, SEO is just part of your marketing game plan. But it is a vital one when used with your other online and offline marketing. Gone are the days of easy rankings. Just because you built it, doesn't mean they'll come. A website is a business and as such deserves your time and your professional SEO to help you achieve your goals and bottom line success.

How Google Works - Search Engine Marketing Services

2008-05-26T00:10:00.002-07:00

Google drives a huge proportion of the search traffic on the internet.What this means for you is that if you can understand Google, then if you were to build a website (as an affiliate), then you'll stand a much better chance of ranking highly on the specific search terms that you're targeting (e.g. "dog training", "dalmation training",
"stop german shepherd digging", and so on).

I'm going to provide for you a no-nonsense, but yet comprehensive guide to how Google works.Google has a comprehensive and highly developed technology, a straightforward interface and a wide-ranging array of search tools which enable the users to easily access a variety of information online. Google users can browse the web and find information in various languages, retrieve maps, stock quotes and read news, search for a long lost friend using the phonebook listings available on Google for all of US cities and basically surf the 3 billion odd web pages on the internet! Google boasts of having world's largest archive of Usenet messages, dating all the way back to 1981. Google's technology can be
accessed from any conventional desktop PC as well as from various wireless platforms such as WAP and i-mode phones, handheld devices
and other such Internet equipped gadgets. The web search technology offered by Google is often the technology of choice of the world's leading portals and websites. It has also
benefited the advertisers with its unique advertising program that does not hamper the web surfing experience of its users but still
brings revenues to the advertisers.

Google's Web Search Technology

When you search for a particular keyword or a phrase, most of the search engines return a list of page in order of the number of times the keyword or phrase appears on the website. Google web search technology involves the use of its indigenously designed PageRank Technology and hypertext-matching analysis which makes several instantaneous calculations undertaken without any human intervention. Google's structural design also expands simultaneously as the internet expands.

PageRank technology involves the use of an equation which comprises of millions of variables and terms and determines a factual measurement of the significance of web pages and is calculated by solving an equation of 500 million variables and more than 3 billion terms. Unlike some other search engines, Google does not calculate links but utilizes the extensive link structure of the web as an organizational tool. When the link to a Page, lets say Page B is clicked from a Page A, then that click is attributed as a vote towards Page B on behalf of Page A. Quintessentially, Google calculates the importance of a page by the number of such 'votes' it receives. Not only that, Google also assesses the importance of the pages that are involved in the voting process. Consequently, pages that are themselves ahead in ranking and are important in that way also help to make other pages important
One thing to note here is that Google's technology does not involve human intervention in anyway and uses the inherent intelligence of the internet and its resources to determine the ranking and importance of any page.Not only that, Google also evaluates the content of its nearest web pages. This policy of not disregarding any subject matter pays off in the end and enables Google to return results that are closest to user queries.

1. When the query is submitted and the enter key is pressed, the web server sends the query to the index servers. Index server is exactly what its name suggests; it consists of an index much like the index of a book which displays where is the particular page containing the queried term is located in the entire book.

2. After this, the query proceeds to the doc servers, and these servers actually retrieve the stored documents. Page descriptions or "snippets" are then generated to suitably describe each search result.

3. These results are then returned to the user in less than a second!

The Google Dance

Approximately once a month, Google update their index by
recalculating the Pageranks of each of the web pages that they have
crawled. The period during the update is known as the Google dance.

Because of the nature of PageRank, the calculations need to be
performed about 40 times and, because the index is so large, the
calculations take several days to complete.

During this period, the search results fluctuate; sometimes
minute-by minute. It is because of these fluctuations that the
term, Google Dance, was coined. The dance usually takes place
sometime during the last third of each month.

Google has two other servers that can be used for searching. The
search results on them also change during the monthly update and
they are part of the Google dance.

For the rest of the month, fluctuations sometimes occur in the
search results, but they should not be confused with the actual
dance. They are due to Google's fresh crawl and to what is known
"Everflux".

Google has two other searchable servers apart from www.google.com.

They are www2.google.com and www3.google.com. Most of the time, the
results on all 3 servers are the same, but during the dance, they
are different.

For most of the dance, the rankings that can be seen on www2 and
www3 are the new rankings that will transfer to www when the dance
is over. Even though the calculations are done about 40 times, the
final rankings can be seen from very early on. This is because,
during the first few iterations, the calculated figures merge to
being close to their final figures.

You can see this with the Pagerank Calculator by checking the Data
box and performing some calculations. After the first few
iterations the search results on www2 and www3 may still change,
but only slightly.

During the dance, the results from www2 and www3 will sometimes
show on the www server, but only briefly. Also, new results on www2
and www3 can disappear for short periods. At the end of the dance,
the results on www will match those on www2 and www3.

This Google Dance Tool allows you to check your rankings on www,
www2 and www3 and on all 9 datacenters simultaneously.

How to maximize Google's Search Features?

Find It ASAP

The Google Web Directory works in combination of the Google Search
Technology and the Netscape Open Directory Project which makes it
possible to search the Internet organized by topic.

Google displays the pages in order of the rank given to it using
the PageRank Technology. It not only searches the titles and
descriptions of the websites, but searches the entire content of
sites within a category, which ultimately delivers a comprehensive
search to the users.

Google also has a fully functional web directory which categorizes
all the searches in order.

In case you are feeling lucky

The I'm Feeling Lucky(TM) search button is recommended when searching
for a highest ranked web page for a particular search. This saves
time in searching for a webpage.

The multi-faceted Google Toolbar

The Google Toolbar(TM) can seamlessly integrate with a user's web
browser and be of quick assistance.

Pandora's Box

- Google enables its users to search for U.S. street maps
immediately by just typing the street name in the query box.

- Latest stock quotes are just a click away. Just type in the
company ticker symbol or the name of one of the stock indices stock
and mutual fund information and Google will return the relevant
information in association with high-profile financial and trading
concerns.

Cache me if you can

Google takes a snapshot of each page it examined as it crawls the
web and stores or caches them as a back-up in case the original
page is unavailable.

This cached link always displays the page in the same manner as it
was indexed and this is used by Google to match the relevancy of
the page to the query submitted by the user.

The "Cached" link will be missing for sites that have not been
indexed, as well as for sites whose owners have requested Google
not to cache their content.

Google Web Search Features

Google offers a variety of special features which helps users to
find exactly what they are looking which is all in addition to
providing easy access to more than 3 billion web pages. The
following is an overview of its key features:

- Calculator

Google has a built-in calculator function which can be used to
calculate mathematical expressions involving basic arithmetic, more
complicated math, units of measure and conversions, physical
constants and even hexadecimal and binary numbering systems. You
can simply enter the expression you'd like evaluated in the search
box and hit the Enter key or click the Google Search button.

- Dictionary Definitions

When searching about any particular term, if the Google database
has a definition or meaning for the term, then it will be
highlighted with an underline on the results page. This definition
is derived in association with a reliable dictionary source.
- File Types

In addition to HTML files, Google search also supports 12 other
formats such as PDF, Microsoft Office, PostScript, Corel
WordPerfect, Lotus 1-2-3, and others. Additionally, Google also
offers the user the ability to "View as HTML", which allows users
to view these files in case the corresponding software is not
installed on the user's PC. It also eliminates the hazards of
opening a virus-infected document.

- News Headlines

While searching for a particular term, if that term is also in any
of the current news, it is displayed as a separate news link on the
results page. This is derived from various news providers who work
in association with Google and who let Google monitor them.

A new offering - Advanced News Search

A new offering from Google - Advanced News Search, allows visitors
to scour headlines by date, location, exact phrases or publication.
People can use it retrieve articles from more than 4,500 news
outlets publishing on the Web. Advanced News Search lets visitors
search for headlines using several parameters. Among other
features, people can locate stories that contain an exact phrase,
within the Unites States or abroad, or written by a specific
publisher.

- Similar Pages

The results page also displays a link for 'similar pages' which
uses the GoogleScout technology to explore the web for similar
pages. This is particularly helpful if you have hit upon a page
which has relevant content, but you want something similar but more.

- Web Page Translation

This feature is particularly helpful if your search has non-English
results. Google offers a facility to automatically translate a
page for you in English. Currently, Google supports Italian,
French, Spanish, German, and Portuguese languages.

- SafeSearch Filtering

Google provides a SafeSearch option to filter pornographic contents
from its results page. This is especially useful for shared
computers which need to be protected for children surfing the
Internet. Google's technology tries to check keywords and
phrases, URLs and Open Directory categories and eliminate these
from the search results.

Submitting your URL to Google

Google is primarily a fully-automatic search engine with no
human-intervention involved in the search process. It utilizes
robots known as 'spiders' to crawl the web on a regular basis for
new updates and new websites to be included in the Google Index.

This robot software follows hyperlinks from site to site. Google
does not require that you should submit your URL to its database
for inclusion in the index, as it is anyway done automatically by
the 'spiders'. However, manual submission of URL can be done by
going to the Google website and clicking the related link.

One important thing here is that Google does not accept payment of
any sort for site submission or improving page rank of your
website. Also, submitting your site through the Google website
does not guarantee listing in the index.

Cloaking

Sometimes, a webmaster might program the server in such a way that
it returns different content to Google than it returns to regular
users, which is often done to misrepresent search engine rankings.

This process is referred to as cloaking as it conceals the actual
website and returns distorted webpages to search engines crawling
the site. This can mislead users about what they'll find when they
click on a search result. Google highly disapproves of any such
practice and might place a ban on the website which is found guilty
of cloaking.

Google Guidelines
Here are some of the important tips and tricks that can be employed
while dealing with Google.

Do's

- A website should have crystal clear hierarchy and links and
should preferably be easy to navigate.

- A site map is required to help the users go around your site and
in case the site map has more than 100 links, then it is advisable
to break it into several pages to avoid clutter.

- Come up with essential and precise keywords and make sure that
your website features relevant and informative content.

- The Google crawler will not recognize text hidden in the images,
so when describing important names, keywords or links; stick with
plain text.

- The TITLE and ALT tags should be descriptive and accurate and the
website should have no broken links or incorrect HTML.

- Dynamic pages (the URL consisting of a '?' character) should be
kept to a minimum as not every search engine spider is able to
crawl them.

- The robots.txt file on your web server should be current and
should not block the Googlebot crawler. This file tells crawlers
which directories can or cannot be crawled.

Don'ts

- When making a site, do not cheat your users, i.e. those people
who will surf your website. Do not provide them with irrelevant
content or present them with any fraudulent schemes.

- Avoid tricks or link schemes designed to increase your site's
ranking.

- Do not employ hidden texts or hidden links.

- Google frowns upon websites using cloaking technique. Hence, it
is advisable to avoid that.

- Automated queries should not be sent to Google.

- Avoid stuffing pages with irrelevant words and content. Also
don't create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with
significantly duplicate content.

25 Things Not to Do When You're Building Links

2008-05-22T00:06:00.000-07:00

One of the best ways to promote your site and build your authority in your community and for the search engines is to build links to your site.

You might think you have your link building campaign in hand, but are you sure you're doing it right?

Here are 25 things to avoid when you're link building.

Don't:

1. Hide links off a page.
This is a sneaky CSS trick Google doesn't like.

2. Buy links where everyone else is buying.
Get off the beaten path; if you buy where everyone else is buying, you dilute the value of the links.

3. Purchase links from any link builder that lists their inventory online.
Google can see that list as well ya know.

4. Use automated link building software.
Talk about leaving a footprint.

5. Use the same anchor text over and over.
Your anchor text density should look natural and varied.

For general ideas about anchor text density or variation, check out your competitors' usage.

6. Overuse the same type of links.
Sitewide links, reciprocal, 3 way links, high or Low PR, social media, press releases, article directories;you get the point. Diversify!

7. Have unnatural PR patterns in your backlinks.
It's not natural to have only high PR backlinks, or low ones, for that matter.

You need a healthy mix of higher and lower PR backlinks.

8. Place links in paid or sponsored sections.
Search engines are getting better and better at spotting these and thus lowering their PR and ranking weight.

9. Spam Wikipedia for links.
Get a Wikipedia link you deserve and it will stick around.

10. Spam (insert favorite social media site here) with fake DIGGS.

Do you like your reputation? Thought so. Produce something DIGG worthy instead.

11. Spam gov or .edu forums.
You want gov or .edu links? Earn them. These links are easy to get if you offer them content that fills a need.

12. Comment spam blogs or guest books.
Do this if you enjoy being hated by influential content publishers.

13. Create a onetime link spike.
While some links spikes are good (e.g. press releases, articles, viral campaigns), don't buy or build 50 links that all go live in 3 days and then stop. Spread your campaign out over time.

14. Focus on keywords you already rank for.
Have you calculated what those rankings would cost your business if you lost them? I suggest some preventative maintenance.

15. Create a link directory on your site.
That's so 1999. Oh, and it doesn't work.

16. Send out random "link to me" requests.
Mass reciprocal link campaigns don't work. This can also cause loss of reputation quickly.

You don't want a bunch of junky, non-relevant backlinks cluttering up your profile anyhow. Only send a link request if it makes real sense for both sites to become link partners.

17. Don't send a generic letter if you're requesting a link.

Nobody likes impersonal letters. Take the time to compose a nice email that lays your proposal out in a personal way.

If you're link building correctly, then any link you have to email or call for should be done with the utmost of care and sincerity.

18. Create an article exchange on your site.
Better to host high quality content you produce and link out to high quality content in your niche, rather than having a spate of links on a random page of your site.

19. Use link networks.
Search engines spot artificial link networks easily; those 5,000 instant links you got are going to come back and bite you.

20. Submit to 5000 directories for $19.95.
You get what you pay for and in this case it will be NOTHING!

Instead buy or submit free to hand selected directories that have a relevant page for your niche. Make sure the exact page you are getting a link on has at least a PR1.

Many directories will throw your listing 200 pages deep in a category.

We have tested over 600 directories in fact and found all but a small portion of them were worthless (supplemental results) to submit to. So do your homework.

21. Forget to add anchor link text.
Anchor text is a must-have for any link you get, so make sure you include it.

22. Don't spam forums.
Don't comment just to add a link in to your signature. Forums are great for building your authority in your niche, but behave as a helpful expert, not a low-level sleaze.

Also, keep in mind that some forums disable signature links, while you have to earn them by posting helpfully and gaining authority within the forum.

23. Use 301 redirect urls excessively.
Used in moderation this can be very effective, but do you really think 300 redirects to your site look natural?

24. Don't send annoying updates.
You don't have to email everyone in your community every time you make a post. It's ok to be excited but moderation is good.

25. Stop building links once you reach the top.
Do you stop promoting your site when you become an industry leader? Then why stop building links? For more visit http://www.authoritydomains.com/

Success with Internet Marketing from Home

2008-05-21T00:04:00.000-07:00

Going online means you no longer have to hire a professional to get powerful marketing results. Success with internet marketing can come from your home office once you discover the keys to promoting your business online.

Your Starting Point

First, you will need a website. It is best if you do your homework and select optimal keywords before you get your domain name. Then you can separate the keyword phrase with hyphens when composing your domain name, thereby making your keywords more accessible to search engines.

Keywords

Next, you will need to optimize the keywords as you build and add content to your website so that the search engines will find your site and rank it well. If there is too high a percentage of keywords can hurt rather than help your pursuit of good search engine visibility. Seek out some effective Search Engine Optimization tools to help you succeed in getting a website that will rank highly.

Links and Traffic

After you've done what you can to build an effective website, you will need to turn your attention to letting people know about it. Getting links to your website is critical if you want people to find it. You can draw traffic to your website in a variety of ways, and you should try at least several of these options in order to build links and traffic.

1) Write articles—lots of them—and submit them to article directories. At the end of the article, your resource box gives your name, some brief information, and links to your website.

2) Create a blog that you update frequently. People enjoy the casual, conversational style of blogs, and if they like yours well enough, they may even subscribe to it as an RSS feed.

3) Answer questions on forums that deal with a topic related to your website. You can generate better leads by writing truly helpful responses rather than posting only for self-promotion purposes.

4) Create a lens on Squidoo. Here you can promote your website for free, and possibly earn money for charity and perhaps yourself while you are at it.

E-mail List

Gathering e-mail addresses from people who respond to an offer on your website, blog, or resource box is what you need to do in order to begin an e-mail marketing campaign. You want people who are interested enough to "opt in" and sign up for your list. E-mail is a way to stay on the radar of people who might eventually decide to come to your website to buy.

Your Results

Finally, you should be tracking where the visitors to your website are coming from and work toward improving how many people you reach and how likely they are to buy from you (your conversion rate). The best marketers are always trying to evaluate their results in order to improve them. By staying on top of overall marketing trends and strategies as well as monitoring how well your own efforts are paying off, you can gain success with internet marketing. The satisfaction and savings that come from doing it yourself are what will keep you and your business moving forward. For more http://jointopmarketer.com/

The Advantages Of Targeted Traffic

2008-05-20T00:44:00.000-07:00

Let's face it, traffic is the life blood of any business. Without it, the business or website is useless and a waste of time and effort. Yet many webmasters do not know how to get the kind of traffic they need to really prosper. As a result, many spend great deals of money on first one kind of advertising then another. After awhile they get frustrated by the lack of results and give up.

These webmasters follow a simple (if misguided) idea that if they throw enough traffic at a particular website something will stick and they will make a sale. While this idea can be true, it is an expensive way to promote. More than likely, it will end in failure.

There are two basic types of traffic to be had online. Targeted traffic and untargeted traffic. Targeted traffic is what all webmasters crave it is harder to get and retain but more profitable. Untargeted traffic is considered by many as a waste as it doesn't really get the webmaster who uses it any real sales. Certainly not enough to make any real profits.

Just think, if a webmaster is buying untargeted traffic, he may, in fact, get it. But most of this traffic will be from people who are not really interested in the products but are being paid to simply visit the site. The webmaster may see a few sales, but the odds are against it. These people will move on to other sites and likely never return.

On the other hand, if you are getting visits from people who are honestly interested in your product or service, then your chances for sales go up considerably.

How To Find Quality Traffic

The statement above begs the question, where do webmasters find that kind of traffic? The answers may surprise you.

THe biggest source of traffic to date is the search engines. In fact, some of the best means of generating targeted traffic also have the added benefit of influencing the search engine rankings. One good example of this is in the form of article marketing.

For each original content article that is put out becomes a front page for the website is represents. Strategically assigning relavent keywords to those articles can help get the articles ranked in the search engines, which can benefit the site. The articles need to be of good quality to capture the reader's interest enough for them to visit the site. Ironically, the articles will often show up in any given search before the site they represent do.

Reciprocal linking, or link trading, is another means of building quality traffic while benefiting the search engine rankings as well. The benefits to this type of traffic building come in two primary forms. The first form is through the links themselves. The website with the lower page rank benefit from the traffic overflow. The other, higher ranked, website benefits as well but to a lesser degree.

Both websites benefit to one degree or another from the links themselves as they are measured in the search engines to determine importance and ranking.

Finally, one excellent way to gain targeted traffic is to write a report and give it away. You can use nearly any media but free reports are a good low cost starter. This is one form of viral marketing. It is considered to be the best marketing technique that any webmaster can use. The quality traffic generated is the most profitable.

It is important to keep in mind that targeted traffic is sometimes harder to get. It also takes longer to get it started as opposed to e-mail marketing and the like. But the advantages of targeted traffic are far superior than untargeted traffic. For more visit http://www.e-profitsubmissions.com/

Guidelines on Search Engine Optimization

2008-05-19T01:44:00.000-07:00

SEO or Search Engine Optimization plays a very big part in the advertising of products and services offered by internet marketing campaigns. Through search engines, marketers can advertise their businesses and get more hits and website visits. Their success is determined by their rank in the dominating search engines in the World Wide Web.

The first thing you should do in SEO is also the biggest mistake others commit. You should choose the right keywords for your website. The best keywords are not what you personally know about your business. The best way you could find the most appropriate keywords for your site is by using the Wordtracker. This site provides you with the exact keywords searchers use on search engines which are appropriate to your website. These searchers are your potential customers. Through using the right keywords you can get high rankings on the search engines.

Another thing you should do is the isolation keyword method. Most people try to cram as many keywords into a webpage as possible. Most SEO experts would suggest a maximum of only 15 keywords in a page. This approach is quite old. It works but it takes much longer for you to rise in the rankings. What you should do is create a list of as many keyword phrases as possible. And a single page should be created for each phrase. For example, your keyword is Advantages of SEO, the page you will create must be only for this keyword. You wouldn't have to pick only one keyword phrase for you website. Instead, you will make individual pages for the keyword phrases you chose.

The next thing to do is building the structure of each page. Each page should start off with its corresponding keyword phrase as its heading. The first paragraph should include your keyword phrase and should also contain your Meta description. The next paragraph should have a bold subtitle of you keyword phrase. And finally, the last paragraph of the page should again include your keyword phrase as most search engines read it.

Interlinking your pages together is a must. The link from one page of your website to another is very important. When creating these links, you should be sure that the link is the keyword phrase of the page it is linked to. This will help the user view the other pages of your site easier. Making the title of the link the exact keyword phrase you used for the page will make it easier for the user to know what the page he/she will access contains.

There are many things you shouldn't do on SEO. Don't put your websites name in your Meta title. Search engines will list you without your site's name. Don't hold back on text. Each page should contain at least 250 words. Stick to one subject per page as this may confuse your readers. Spiders have a hard time reading your url's if you put database parameters on them. Stay away from flash pretty much for the same reason. Don't use frames, don't ask why. And finally always keep your html code streamlined so that search engines won't have a hard time reading them.

If you follow these simple guidelines, you will see your ranking dramatically improve. And through these guidelines you can avoid the common mistakes others do on SEO. For more visit http://www.easymlmprofits.com/

Role of Meta Title Tag in SEO

2008-05-17T01:50:00.000-07:00

Do you want to secure a top ranking in search engine result pages(SERP)?

I think every one is going to answer - Yes. And a very common belief is that add lot of most searched keywords in the meta tags of your web pages and see your site skyrocketing. But it feels highly frustrating when this magic proves of no avail. Remember, meta tags alone don't do a magic in getting better placed in the search pages. These meta tags sure help you to describe your web pages to a search engine and gain a better place in its results. But at the same time they help search engine too to prevent indexing of improper web pages. Which may have good weight keywords in their meta tags but having no relationship with the contents of the page.

Meta tags are the blocks which contain information about the contents of your web page and they exist into the head area of your web page. They are basically meant to communicate with the search engine. Most of the Meta tags are visible to the search engine only and not the visitor on your web page. But, Title tag is one which is visible to the search engine and the visitor as well. Most importantly, it attracts the search engine and the visitor very aggressively. Most search engines consider this tag as the primary information about the site and also an human visitor sees this information as the first thing on top left corner of the browser. Moreover, when one bookmarks the site, the text in this tag appears in the bookmarks list.

In this article, I have tried to focus mainly on 'Title Meta Tag' that how a good Title Meta Tag can render a great help in optimization of a website.

What is the significance of Meta Title Tag

Amongst the three major Meta tags (Meta Title Tag, Meta Keywords Tag, Meta Description Tag) the Title Tag is one which is given the most weight by search engines' algorithms. In fact, this tag should be written so that it should give the idea about your site instantly. A perfect written Title tag can generate quick and appreciable traffic to your site. The text written in this tag appears as clickable text in the search engine result page (SERP) and if it is really meaningful and conveys most about the web page, more clickthroughs will be the result.

This small example explains the function of Meta Title tag better. Suppose I need to visit San Francisco and need a road map of the city and go to a book store to find the same. There are lot of books on tourism and travel with different titles but my attention will go to a title which says something like ""Latest Road Map of San Francisco"" rather than a title ""All about San Francisco"". May be the second book contains better information about the subject I am looking for. But the title of first one speaks exactly about what I need. This how a better title gains priority over the other because of the contents of its title. This is exactly what happens with search engine. It picks the most matching title with the query and places in its result page as clickable text.

Should the Company name appear in Title Tag

Well, I would say sure if your company is really a big entity like IBM, Microsoft or Cisco or some well know brand like Sony, Phillips etc. Because people may want to search for those companies or brands with their names. But in normal cases it should not be so.

Suppose, your company is ""Larry Tours and Travels"" in San Francisco. Instead of writing ""Welcome to the home of Larry Tours and Travels"" in the title tag it would be better to write something like ""tour operators, travel agents, car rental,bay area tours, san francisco tours - Larry Tours and Travel"". Do a good research to find best keywords and phrases which describe your site best. My suggestion is that the length of the title tag should be between 15 to 20 words making it attractive enough that it looks interesting to the person searching for your business and he clicks through.

Few tips for writing good Title tags.

Try including the content relevant keywords in the title tag. This would help placing your site better in search engine result page (SERP) when someone searches those keywords.

Also do not use repeating keywords and phrases in your title tag because this may be treated as spamming by search engines and they may affect your ranking.

Either don't include your company name in the title tag or add it after few most relevant keywords, phrases into the title tag.

Write different title tags for each web page of your website instead of writing a common title page for the complete site. Make sure that each title tag has relevance with the contents of that web page where it appears.

Try to keep the length of your title tag small (between 15 to 20 words). Some search engines allow small title tags only and truncate the extra part of the longer ones which at times may render your title tag completely meaningless.

I would say that write very meaningful, impressive title tag they are a really powerful can be best tool to optimize your site. The title tag has most dominant role while the search engines make their decision about the theme of the website. When a search for keywords is conducted, the Title tag is given heavy consideration by most search engine algorithms. As I said earlier, since each page in your website is unique so it needs a different Title tag.

So, Writing relevant and meaningful title tag is something which may achieve high rankings in search engine result pages (SERP) and result high clickthroughs to your site. The Meta Keywords Tag and Meta Description Tag also need to be taken care of and optimized equally in addition to that of Meta Title Tag to secure a place at the top of the search engines and in convincing a search engine that your site's contents are more relevant than that of your competitor's.

Good Article is a improtant part of Web Optimization

2008-05-16T00:56:00.000-07:00

Writing articles on the internet and expressing them to the web audience is gradually over-taking the conventional media. The influence of Search engines has also changed the overall style of writing articles which are more optimized for the internet. Writing articles is also the best tool to promote your blog or website. A majority of traffic that a web page receives depends on how well it's evaluated by search engines and presented in their results for a given search keyword. Search engines are not humans so it is important that your article is optimized for both web audience and search engines like Google. We have outlined a few important things that one should follow when writing an article which you intend to publish on the internet. 1. Keyword Density: It is important that your main keyword or the theme of the article is repeated multiple times, thus helping the search engine to know what exactly the article is about. For example if your article title is about the 'Problems faced by the Cyclone victims of Burma". Just think, keeping such a long theme as your keyword is not practical, I would personally shorten it to just "Cyclone victims of Burma". Even further (in this context), the major keywords are clearly "Cyclone" and Burma". You should try to repeat these two in your article body multiple times. Induce these words in such a manner so that the overall flow of reading the article is not disrupted. 2. Title of your article: Title should be attention grabbing and should include your keyword, for example "Cyclone victims of Burma - Cyclone problems and issues". You were smartly able to inject the word "Cyclone" twice, (which is your main keyword) in the subject line. Selecting a good title is the most important part of your article. 3. Article Length: Your articles should always be greater than 300 words. There is no upper limit but usually articles between 500 to 800 words are easy to read by most people. 4. Keep interest of users: Break your article into topics and paragraphs. Add some interesting numbers if you can, bold the important sections and even use bullet points if you can. More than anything your article should contain useful content and always try to provide correct information as much as possible. Use examples to explain your point wherever applicable. 5. Personal information: Never mention any personal information like phone number or email address in your article as spammers and telemarketers can get hold of it. But if you are somebody like a Travel Agent and want to receive calls then it may make sense to provide your contact details. 6. Even make money: You can run your own blog and put advertisements on the side. If you are not really tech/html savvy then there are several sites which invite users to submit articles on their site by filling simple forms and making money via Adsense. 7. Write articles frequently: By releasing articles frequently you may eventually make a loyal base of readers who will read your articles on a regular basis.

5 Steps to a Popular and Profitable Blog

2008-05-15T03:09:00.000-07:00

Blogging is a hot way for an ordinary person to make some cash on the net. Anybody with a computer and an Internet connection can make it in this market. You've no doubt come across many blogs and maybe you've thought about starting one yourself.

Here are some common sense advice on how to get your thoughts out of your head and into your blog. Listen up.

1. You're the boss.

Don't worry about what people will think when you blog. Just write what you feel, what is in your heart, and your fans will find you!

2. What To Write About.

What if you can't think of ideas, where can you get ideas to write about?

There is so many ways to research ideas, that I could spend a year writing about each one. Here is just a few things you can write about.

1. Got to YouTube or Myspece and find something to talk about .Go to the major news sites and blog about current events in your home town, the nation, or the world 3. Scan a few community forums and blog about what people are talking about.

3. Ok Ok, I get the Idea, but I really don't have time to maintain a blog.

If the thought of committing to your blog gives you weak knees, you can always schedule a bunch of posts in advance.

A lot of blogging software give you the option to schedule your posts, giving you the flexibility to post at regular intervals even if you have a short period of time to commit to your blog.

For example, when you have time to blog, generate a list of ideas for articles, tutorials and other things that you might be interested in. Brainstorm at least ten different topics and create a 3-4 sentence paragraph about each topic. Then create a post for each idea using the future post to schedule the posts.

If you want, you can post 1/2/3 blog posts per week. Now, your blog will be set on autopilot, posting for you when you can't be there.

4. Show Me the Money!

How can you make money with your blog. Once your blog has useful content, you can monetize your site with nice programs like Adsense or Amazon. I suggest that if you are using amazon you go with products that you hand pick so they are exactly targeted to the subject of each web page.

A lot of experts recommend you wait a month before you start thinking about site monetization. I can see the logic in this. After all, you want to have a decent collection of interesting projects, ideas, articles and related stuff before you start looking for the money.

But, don't expect overnight riches. In fact, don't expect a dime for at least 3 to 5 months after you start your blog. If you use money as your primary motivation for blogging, you will burn out.

5. Time is Your Best Friend.

A lot of the popular blogs that are making nice change have been around forever. Maybe you've heard of a friend of a friend that's making a ton of money on a crappy blog he started only a few weeks ago. Every time you hear these stories, remember that these great results are not typical. I guarantee you that a person like that is buying advertising to get traffic to their blog, that their content is uninteresting, and that their blog will be down in a years time.

A good website is like fine wine. The longer you blog ages and is allowed to develop, the more valuable your blog will be. For more visit http://wildcashflow.com/

Great Website! But where are your customers

2008-05-12T01:48:00.000-07:00

1. Pay Per Click (PPC)

Nothing new to anyone on the net. Every major search engine offers it in one form or the other. A great way to drive traffic to your site. But only if you know how to use it.

You must select keywords that will drive traffic to your site but will not cause your CPC bill to skyrocket without converting prospects into sales. Your description must also complement your keyword so that it reinforces your products and services.

The persons who click have interest in your goods but are still prospects. What goods are they interested in however. If my food site should use a keyword phrase "oral pleasure" relating to food and tastiness, I might be surprised to get a lot of clicks but no sales. Why, you might ask? Most likely the persons clicking on my link got there while searching for adult links for oral pleasure.

Funny you might think, but everyday, advertisers haphazardly choose keywords that have no bearing on their site. They now start to receive customers but have no conversions as these were not targeted visitors. By now the CPC bill is high and sales are still low to non-existent.

So for my food site, a better choice of keyword would be "jerk seasoning", and if I wanted to narrow my target market more with specific searches, I would use "Jamaican jerk seasoning". This would be sure to send me only targeted customers searching for my products. My conversion rate will be higher out of this batch of qualified prospects.

2. Text Ads

Advertisers can sponsor text ads for varying periods on different search engines.
These text ads run from as little as $12 per 3 month period and give good exposure to a wide market, but is again dependent on keyword and description choices.

3.Buy Traffic

There are sites that are wholly designated to selling web traffic. The rates vary but traffic can be bought from as little as $2.99 per thousand visitor.

The type of traffic is dependent on where the traffic is from. Traffic is generated from expired domains and redirected traffic. Traffic can also be classified into geographic regions and by shopping preferences. The more targeted choices are more costly but give a better quality visitor.

If your business is in the USA selling golf shoes, a US visitor who is a golfer is going to be a more qualified visitor than one who lives in Bahrain and does not know what golf is.

Some traffic sites send visitors based on auto generated views. This might boost the stats on your site but will not generate sales. You need to ensure that real people are viewing your site and not automated software. If you are going to pay for traffic then you need to get real traffic.

Some websites will tell you they are sending visitors, when they mean hits. 1000 hits is not the same as 1000 visitors. Everytime a visitor comes to your site they generate hits. Every image that opens generates a hit. So you can see the difference between the promise of 1000 hits vs 1000 visitors. 100 visitors just might, depending on your landing page, generate a 1000 hits.

4. Links

Joining paid link exchanges is a great way to get incoming links to your site. This method until recently was a good enough method, but Google's recent change to its view on paid Link Exchanges means that less value is placed on incoming links.

It is still a fairly valuable tool as the other members with whom you link, the traffic from their sites now have a link to you. The drawback is when your link is so far down the page that customers to that site will never have easy access.

5. Search Engines

Not by any means last or the least effective method. The major search engines will drive most of your traffic tot your site. Google delivers at least 60% of a sites search engine traffic, and so websites must be optimized and tweaked to achieve higher ranking in the engines. Higher ranking translates to appearing in the first few results. the higher up you rank and place the more your traffic from the search engine. With this method, optimization and submission of the site is paramount. A good SEO can tweak your site to make it search engine friendly including optimizing your meta tags such as Keywords, description and title. For more visit http://www.infozabout.com

YOU MAY HAVE RECEIVED SEO - SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION EMAILS

These are suppose to be honest search engine firms, but if they solicited you. You should know often that making quick money is their true incentive. Making your sales website popular so that visitors search out your site to buy your product is a lesser priority. A very widely used internet scam is telling you that shortly you will be listed on all the seeach engine, the search directories, the meta crawlers, and the directory portals. These currently number around 1,300. 400 of these might not even be in the United States.

For a special price today of $287.00, the scam artists are going to get you listed on all these 1,300 search engines and directories. When Google controls 60% of traffic, and Yahoo, MSN, and Ask 30%, it means you just got ripped off. It takes them 10 minutes to use a well known program to automatically submit your insurance website to the other sites.They spend a few hundred dollars to buy the software program, and can use it thousands of times.

These are USELESS.Millions of sites are listed on the internet. So are ignored by the big players, and listed under low traffic search directories. GETTING LISTED by itself does not mean anything. Please beware of the operators that charge a few hundred to $1,000 promising a top ten listing on Google. I get these form solicitations invitations, yet my sales website is ranked higher than their site is.

Here are 3 Easy to Implement SEARCH OPTIMIZATION MUSTS - Free

The first two are simple, highly effective techniques that only a SEO PRO uses

Let's say your agency is named, "Jones and Smith Sales Enterprises". Your major product sales come from selling used motorcycles and accessories.. How in the universe (internet) do expect someone to come to your site interested in purchasing a used motorcycle or accessories? Your site domain name is likely bobjonesmotorcycles.com, and the title of your insurance website is Jones and Smith Sales Enterprises. When it comes to description for your sales website, likely none was written.

CORRECT MISTAKE #1 - THE WEBSITE URL DOMAIN NAME

Unless your ego is so bloated, you have to make a decision. Do want your website collecting dust with no visitors? Or would you finally enjoy FREE visitors seeing your sales website listings and then visiting your website to inquire about used motorcycles and accessories?

TO CORRECT #1. Your top sales key words MUST be right inside your new domain name. Pay $10 to $25 and get a new domain name that sparks up flames. Using used- motorcycles-parts.com gives Google and Yahoo key words to evaluate in listing your site higher.

CORRECT MISTAKE #2 - THE TITLE OF YOUR SALES WEBSITE

Your website title should be no more than 5 or 6 words. The website title MUST use keywords reflecting what you are selling. Therefore "Used Motorcycles, Motorcycle Accessories" would be an effective and terrific website title. This allows Google, Yahoo, etc.to identify that you are selling used motorcycles. Information they need to list your site higher.

CORRECT MISTAKE #3 - THE DESCRIPTION OF YOUR INSURANCE WEBSITE.

Here you have 2 to 3 sentences to name your company and what insurance you are promoting. Check closely to see if you even have the description listed. Hit View on your page header and then select page source, look for this a few lines down. It should read exactly: meta name="description" content="". If it is missing, YOU MUST copy and paste it in using your website editor. Again you want to help Google by using key words in your description. Here is as sample for the above website. Place information like this in between the quote marks you copied and pasted. "Used Motorcycles for Sale is Bob's used motorcycles and accessories out of Dallas. We provide affordable nationwide shipping, and a list of local appraise you may need to insurance your motorcycle immediately. Sorry no custom motorcycles. "

THE FACTS

Of millions of websites of all varieties your sales website is lost. Google has 65,000,000 pages listed under motorcycles, and 9,600,000 under motorcycle parts. When you search used motorcycles you get 1,300,000, and used motorcycle parts brings 390.000 pages. Using used motorcycles for sale nails it down to 390,000 pages.

Just by simply implementing these 3 rarely use tips. you leave most of your competitors in the dust.This process alone should pass enough other motorcycle sales websites to put you in the 500th position. Moving from millions to 500 for free is valuable advice.

SEO(Search Engine Optimization) For Noob's

2008-05-09T00:24:00.000-07:00

Every web master is looking for more, highly targeted traffic. SEO, or Search Engine Optimization can help with that goal. Tremendous amounts of traffic can come from a few small changes in SEO.

A search engine searches the web for information on relevant topics found on web sites. Internet searches are performed using keywords. Search engines index keywords and the sites where they located them. For instance, if you search for the keyword vitamin, the search engine will return a list of sites that contain the word vitamin. The search engines sort through infinite amounts of data to help searchers find exactly what they're looking for.

The search engine needs to find the information to be able to provide users with relevant results. This is done using what are called web robots or spiders. These spiders constantly "crawl" the Internet looking for new content. Once they find this information it is organized and indexed into a list. The spiders generally start the search for new information on popular sites. From there they spread out following every link on the website. They index the words on the web sites and in the links keeping track of where they were found.

At optimal levels the spiders are very fast covering about 100 pages per second. Spiders crawl web pages from behind the scenes, from top to bottom, left to right, much like we read the page. Keywords close to the top of the page are given more weight. As are keywords in bold, title text, underlined, italicized or highlighted in some way.

In addition to the text you see the spiders also read the meta tags on the site. Meta tags allow the webmaster to select key words and ideas to help index the site.

Once the information is found and indexed it is organized to be used by searchers. The index includes the key word or key word phrase, The URL, and how many times the keyword appeared on the page. The job of the search engine is to return the most relevant results for your search, so key words are weighted based on the density of the keyword on the site.

The exact methodology used by the search engines is a highly guarded secret. In order to optimize your page, you must know some of the basics of how the search engines work.

If you want to maximize the traffic you receive from search engines it is important to practice good SEO. There's a tremendous amount of information available on the Internet including articles, eBooks and even free courses teaching SEO techniques. For more visit http://www.theseosecretrevealed.com/

English To Hindi

2008-05-06T05:09:00.000-07:00

Google has launched the Google Translate in Hindi. This feature will give an ease to users to convert from English to Hindi.

Users can avail this service at http://www.google.com/translate_t and view any page from English to Hindi. In addition you can also type using your normal keyboard. For example if you type “aap”, it will automatically convert into Hindi. You do not need to use any special keyboard to type Hindi sentences.
Also you can add an iGoogle Gadget and get access to Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam and create their own scraps or blogs in these languages.

Presently Google Translate Service allows for translation of English into 14 languages including Arabic and Hindi. The company announced on its web site that it is working to include more languages.

"We're working to support other languages and will introduce them as soon as the automatic translation meets our standards. It's difficult to project how long this will take, as the problem is complex and each language presents its own unique challenges," Google added.

Yahoo, Google Closer To Big Ad Deal
David A. Utter | Staff Writer

Look for the complaints to fly into the DoJ's antitrust department
if Google and Yahoo broaden the scope of an advertising deal
placing Google ads in Yahoo's search results.

The two companies got in touch with Justice before starting a
brief trial of Google's AdSense for Search on Yahoo. Despite those
conversations, antitrust regulators still had some concerns about
the top two search sites teaming up on contextual advertising.

There may be more questions after today, and we're certain
Microsoft will shout suggestions from the sidelines. The Wall
Street Journal said Google and Yahoo could be close to placing
a new agreement on ads into effect.

They hope to avoid the sting of an antitrust investigation by
employing a new system, which would broaden the delivery of ads
to any network participating in it:

"The basis of such an arrangement would be a real-time auction
system that would choose the most lucrative ads for any given
consumer query from among those sold by Yahoo, Google and any of
their competitors, the people say. Microsoft, for example, could
potentially connect to the Yahoo system and have search ads it
sold displayed alongside Yahoo Web-search results, under an
arrangement where they likely would share ad revenue."

Plugging Google's ads into Yahoo may be worth over a billion
dollars a year in revenue to Yahoo, according to an analyst
cited by the Journal.

However, the potential deal may not be universally welcome
within Google's ranks, as the Journal cited some dissension
among Google's top brass. They fear the effects of a Justice
probe into the deal; Google has a global brand, one they do
not want to endanger.

The decision will fall to Google's ruling triumvirate of Eric
Schmidt, Larry Page, and Sergey Brin. If they truly feel their
solution will withstand Justice scrutiny, we expect it to
happen, closely followed by Microsoft making whatever legal
appeals it can to stop the deal.

Double click Performics

2008-05-02T06:31:00.000-07:00

Google announced on their official blog today that they will be selling Performics Search Marketing, a company they acquired as part of their DoubleClick acquisition.

Most people saw this coming as it seemed an obvious conflict of interest having the largest search engine owning and operating an SEO/SEM firm.

Google Director Tom Phillips saying :

we closed the acquisition of double click on March 11, we’ve been immersed in integration planning for each of our products and business units. Recently we completed this process for the double click Performics businesses, and have decided to split them into two separately-run business units: Affiliate Marketing and Search Marketing.

It’s clear to us that we do not want to be in the search engine marketing business. Maintaining objectivity in both search and advertising is paramount to Google’s mission and core to the trust we ask from our users. For this reason, we plan to sell the Performics search marketing business to a third party. We believe this will allow us to maintain objectivity and the search marketing business to continue to grow and innovate and serve its customers. While we have not yet identified a buyer, we’ve received preliminary interest from a number of our current partners. Search Marketing will continue to run as a separate entity until the division is sold.

We plan to integrate the affiliate marketing business into existing Google operations, providing enhanced value and reach for our affiliate advertisers, and additional tools and monetization opportunities for our publishers. Together, we believe that we can continue to grow this business and deliver on the high expectations from partners.

Where it’s applicable in Europe, these plans and their implications for employees are subject to consultation with staff and employee representatives. During this transition, we will ensure that all affiliate and search marketing customers receive the same high level of service they have always experienced.

Definitions of SEM/SEO

2008-04-04T06:47:00.000-07:00

SEM and SEO are not the same thing. As suggested by its name, SEM, or Search Engine Marketing, handles more on the way marketé a website to improve its visibility, its exposure in the different search engines available on the Internet. While SEO, Optimization for search engines, defines how web designers develop and re-develop the content, quality and structure of their entire website, so that whenever someone enters a particular word in the search engines, their website has a better chance to appear in the top positions of results SERPs. (Search Engine Result Pages)

The SEM: Marketing Search Engines

The main function of SEM is to get more exposure for a website. One of the most common ways to generate this attraction is advertising on the Internet: blogs, articles, partner sites, sites sponsors, and anything that might attract the eye of a visitor. The SEM also employs the PPC (Pay-per-click: listings), and submissions pay to increase the visibility of websites. Finally, it is also important to submit the name and URL of a website in the different search engines and directories, but only to inform them of the existence of the site. This ensures the popularity of your site (number of pages that link to your site).

The SEO: Optimization for Search Engines

Although all the publicity comes from the function SEM, it is true that the SEO allows users to easily find what they are looking for. Given that the function of SEO is to better position itself in the search engine results, the designer must constantly optimize its site to cater for the needs of Internet users. It should also facilitate the work of engine crawlers (spiders or Spiders) so that they can judge whether the content of the site is relevant to the search terms.

The optimization is not a simple nor easy. It induces steady restructuring of the site (by editing the HTML code and meta tags, changing the content, reorganization of the site plan, developing a navigation structure more fluid ...) to adapt quickly to changes Internet applications and / or algorithms engines.

Used properly, not only helps the SEO site to become more useful and therefore most visited by Internet users, but it also helps to develop its visibility because it allows for a higher position in the engines.

What is the Difference between SEM and SEO?

By Christopher Da Silva point of view, the SEM (Search Engines Marketing: Search Engine Marketing) and SEO (Search Engines Optimization: Optimization for search engines) are tools that creators of sites, specifically those that promote and sell certain products or services, employ to get the maximum exposure and improve the positioning of their website.
