Strategies How To Monetize Your Blog

2011-04-05T06:30:00.000-07:00

This article talking about how to Increase your readers interest, keep people coming back to your blog regularly? And help you with blog link building, link exchange, contents building, title format and many other resources for a succeed blog. It really worth reading.

1. Choose the topic of your blog wisely. You don’t want it to be too broad or too specific. If it’s too broad, then your blog isn’t any different then the thousands of other blogs that discuss almost the exact same topics. If you make it too specific, you will have a difficult time coming up with new blog entries and your audience will be too small.

2. Stay consistent with your blog entries. If you normally post a new entry every day, then try and keep it up. Otherwise your viewers will stop coming back to see the latest posts.

3. “101 Ways to” lists, “Top 10″ lists, “How to” articles, etc are good ways to start your blogs. For some reason these posts get the most attention, are more interesting reads, and in turn get the most back links.

4. Comedy sells. The more humorous your blog posts are the more interesting your readers will be. Sure there are times when you need to be serious, but when your post allows for it, use as much humor as you can.

5. Publish your posts on Weekdays. Sure, you can publish some on Weekends too. However if you only have time to write your posts on the weekends, then write them then, but publish them on the weekdays. More people read blogs on the weekdays. You should always have posts stored on your computer for days when you can’t write. If you have extra time one day, write an extra post and store it away.

6. Encourage readers to digg your posts at digg.com, as well as the other social bookmark sites. There are plenty of social bookmarking sites out there. The more you have your site bookmarked the more traffic you will get. If you are using a WordPress blog there are social bookmark plugins that will automatically add these bookmark links under each blog entry. I highly encourage using the plugin.

7. Make your blog easy on the eyes. For example, don’t used a black background with blue text. You want a high contrast between the text and the background color. The easier the blog is to read and the neater it looks the more return readers you will have.

8. This isn’t always the case, but you should really try and focus your blog on topics that are “timeless”. You want these posts to generate interest for months or even years rather then just a few hours or days.

9. Even though you don’t know your readers personally in most cases, treat them as they are friends and family. Write things in your post directed to them as though they are your friends. The more you make the reader believe you are talking directly to them the more interested they will be.
10. BE UNIQUE – I think this is self explanatory.

11. Link to blogs that are similar to yours. Since most bloggers check to see where their traffic is coming from, if they see you linking to them they will in a lot of cases link back.

12. Use Meme trackers to find the hot topics. Meme trackers are sites that will track information posted on blogs and news sites, and then provide information about which topics are the hottest. The largest and most popular meme trackers are http://Memeorandum.com and http://Techmeme.com. When you find hot discussions, contribute to them. Your opinions can bring valuable visitors to your site, and will get linked to from other opinions on the topic. If you’re posts are tagged properly, people will be able to find them easily, so make sure you use tags on your posts.

13. Use forums to find topics which people do not understand or need help on. Then write a guide or tuturial on it.

14. Install a text translator on your blog. English is the #1 language online, but Chinese is quickly gaining. Why not cater to both English speakers and Chinese with a language translation script?

15. Set up blogs for other people and add a link within the sites script to your blog.

16. Trade links with other bloggers. It is better to trade them within posts rather then on the blogroll, since you don’t have to put a permanent link up. Check out http://www.lavalinx.com to sign up and trade in post links with bloggers.
Now, I’m sure you want to know how you can make money through running your blog.
There are really 4 ways:

1 – Donation buttons
2 – Affiliate programs
3 – Advertising sales
4 – Paid to Blog Programs

(1) Donation buttons are a great way to make some money especially if you want to keep your blog ad-free. If you don’t have a paypal account, then you need to get one right now. Paypal offers donation links that you add to the HTML code of your blog. Your visitors can simply click this link and donate an amount of their choice. You would be surprised how many people actually donate money to blog owners (especially those that have ad-free blogs). There are a couple ways to encourage donations without sounding as if you are begging for them. The first way is to keep a tally of the total donations you have recieved, as well as the largest donation you have recieved from an individual. People like adding to a tally, and everyone has a little competition in them. Try this out before you add any advertising to your blog.

(2) Affiliate programs are a great way to generate revenue. If your blog is about technology, then you can sell high tech devices on your site. If you blog is about reading, then you can sell books on your site. Affiliate programs usually offer between 2-65% of the sale back to you. The higher range is for online products such as e-books etc where the production costs for 1 more unit is 0. There are literally thousands of affiliate programs out there. We feel Amazon.com, Overture.com, Doubleclick.com, CNET, ShareASale.com and CommissionJunction.com are the best. However there are affiliate programs for just about every product imaginable. If you believe you would be able to sell a certain product on your blog, then go search google for an affiliate program for that product. One good way to really capitallize on commissions is reviewing a certain product on your blog. If the review is a positive one, then why not provide a link for your visitors to purchase that product? Afterall you get a percentage.

(3) Advertising sales are probably the most simple, yet one of the most efficient ways of earning money through your blog. There are 2 kinds of advertising sales. The first is where you manually sell advertising space on your site to people who need it. This is really the old-fashion way. Now there are companies that basically do the selling for you. Google Adsense is the most popular ad publishing agency online. You simply put a little HTML code on your site. Google does the rest. They will automatically crawl your site to determine what it is about. Then it will put ads up that have to do with what your site is discussing. You will then get paid everytime someone clicks on an ad. The amount you are paid per click ranges anywhere form a few cents to $50+. Remember when using Google Adsense, to NEVER click your own ads. This will get you kicked off of their program for life. The most used Blog ad publisher online is blogads.com. There are blogs that earn over $60,000 per month just by putting this code on their site. You name the price you want per advertising spot and then people can search blogads for a blog that matches their criteria. We highly recommend all blogs to use blogads.com.
There are also other advetising publishers out there which include:

- Adbrite.com
- Yahoo Publishers
- text-link-ads.com – similar to google adsense but you get paid a fixed monthly income rather then on a paid per click basis.
- chitika.com – If you have a shopping or technology related blog then try this one.
- usuggest.com
- obeus.com
- blogads.com – This is the most popular among bloggers with traffic of 1000+ unique visitors daily. You can sell ads virtually anywhere on your site through this broker. They do take 30% of your commission though, but you can usually find a good amount of advertisers here.

(4) Thats right, you can blog about peoples services, products or websites and get paid for doing it. If your blog is popular enough you can charge as much as $500 for a simple blog post discussing a service, or website that an advertiser is trying to advertise through you. Here are some of the Pay per blogging sites:

- http://payperpost.com- As you can see offers range from $5-$400 per post and the top bloggers are earning in excess of $1,000 per month here. This site also offers money for posting at forums and even commenting on Youtube videos.
- http://reviewme.com – Another great site for bloggers to make money reviewing products, websites, and services.
- http://sponsoredreviews.com – Same as the sites above it. Also very active.
- http://www.buyblogreviews.com – Advertisers meet Bloggers to have their products or services reviewed, or to buy contextual ads
- http://www.blogitive.com – Once you get approved to Blogitive, you are given instant access to opportunities from companies to post in order to generate buzz. You are then paid per posting
- http://www.linkworth.com/products/partner-linkpost.php – Paid to post a blog about companies, products or services. The advertisers have more control though over what is said.
- http://www.blogsvertise.com – Their advertisers pay you to mention and talk about their websites, products and services in your own blog.
- http://smorty.com – Earn $6 to $100 dollars per post you write on your blog. Amount paid for each post depends on the overall popularity and page rank of your blog.
- http://bloggingads.com
- http://www.payu2blog.com
- http://www.weblogsinc.com
- http://loudlaunch.com

These are only a few of the other companies out there. There are lots more, so just search around.

Remember, starting and maintaining a blog is not like maintaining your yard at home. Whereas to maintain your yard, all you have to do is mow it, and fertilize it once in a while. Maintaining a blog takes a whole lot more. You not only want to maintain it, but you want to make it better every day. You want to set new goals on a monthly basis. Set these goals higher then you believe is a good target. Keep in mind that it takes atleast 1 full year before your blog will even be able to be remotely successful. This is why so many blogs fail. There are not enough type A individuals out there that work their butts off, even though they aren’t seeing much progress. It takes time, and effort. Don’t give up when you aren’t seeing the traffic and revenue that you had hoped for. Just make that another reason to work harder.

Now that you know all about blogging, it’s time to get start. So goodluck. Please feel free to post any of your questions here and we will be glad to answer them.
In the mean time you might want to check out a list of the most visited blogs online (that use sitemeter to publicly trace their stats): http://truthlaidbear.com/TrafficRanking.php

Here are some of the Top Blogs about Blogs:
- http://www.successful-blog.com – This is by far one of the most informative sites for all bloggers.

How To Building Value With Social Marketing

2011-04-01T06:28:00.000-07:00

Image by cherwenka via FlickrSocial networks are for far more than kids. Social marketing is a science with many useful strategies for monetization and building value. How can you show value with your social marketing campaign? You might be different. You might be personal. You might get technical, answering questions. You might walk readers through what you do in a day. In other words, you get creative.

Here are a few useful strategies to get you started building value with social marketing.

Take Risks
This may seem obvious, but many of us forget social marketing was made popular not just when teenagers started using it, but when businesses started. Some early adaptors had huge success with Facebook and Twitter by taking a risk and trying something different. Think beyond your business page and today’s status update and do something complete out of the norm. Come up with a campaign that will utilize its interactive and viral capabilities.

Get Personal
The myth is that being personal is bad. Another myth is that you have to show what is happening in your life every moment. Unless you’re an entrepreneur living a vicarious life, this is unnecessary, but you can build value by showing happy moments you had with family. Instead of looking like a corporate suit out for money, you can appear to be a regular person living life. This boosts your value and makes you stand out from the competition.

Answer Questions, Or Ask
If your business is in a more technical field, perhaps one where customers don’t exactly understand how you help them, you might show them how you do certain things. If you run a computer design company, you may answer common questions about faults in computer designs, or how much it really costs to build a computer, or even how you build them in the initial stages. On the other hand, you may ask questions of your customers yourself. You may ask for complaints or how they use your product. You may ask how you can help them save money rather. These are the types of strategies that build value.

Video
While creating an entire video can seem daunting, just about anyone can do it for cheap. And YouTube commercials actually get viewed, especially if you can somehow add humor. Just as some movie trailers have taken off on YouTube, your product on safely downloading music with the right program may become a hit. This happens more often than you might think.

Get Creative
Bottom line: Have fun with your social marketing campaign. Don’t follow all the rules you read online. Get creative and try some new ways to market your product or service and you’re sure to build value.

Google Forecloses On Content Farms With “Farmer” Algorithm Update

2011-03-12T04:15:00.000-08:00

Image via WikipediaIn January, Google promised that it would take action against content farms that were gaining top listings with “shallow” or “low-quality” content. Now the company is delivering, announcing a change to its ranking algorithm designed take out such material.
New Change Impacts 12% Of US Results

The new algorithm — Google’s “recipe” for how to rank web pages — starting going live yesterday, the company told me in an interview today.

Google changes its algorithm on a regular basis, but most changes are so subtle that few notice. This is different. Google says the change impacts 12% (11.8% is the unrounded figure) of its search results in the US , a far higher impact on results than most of its algorithm changes. The change only impacts results in the US. It may be rolled out worldwide in the future.

While Google has come under intense pressure in the past month to act against content farms, the company told me that this change has been in the works since last January.
Officially, Not Aimed At Content Farms

Officially, Google isn’t saying the algorithm change is targeting content farms. The company specifically declined to confirm that, when I asked. However, Matt Cutts — who heads Google’s spam fighting team — told me, “I think people will get the idea of the types of sites we’re talking about.”

Well, there are two types of sites “people” have been talking about in a way that Google has noticed: “scraper” sites and “content farms.” It mentioned both of them in a January 21 blog post:

We’re evaluating multiple changes that should help drive spam levels even lower, including one change that primarily affects sites that copy others’ content and sites with low levels of original content. We’ll continue to explore ways to reduce spam, including new ways for users to give more explicit feedback about spammy and low-quality sites.

As “pure webspam” has decreased over time, attention has shifted instead to “content farms,” which are sites with shallow or low-quality content.

I’ve bolded the key sections, which I’ll explore more next.
The “Scraper Update”

About a week after Google’s post, Cutts confirmed that an algorithm change targeting “scraper” sites had gone live:

This was a pretty targeted launch: slightly over 2% of queries change in some way, but less than half a percent of search results change enough that someone might really notice. The net effect is that searchers are more likely to see the sites that wrote the original content rather than a site that scraped or copied the original site’s content.

“Scraper” sites are those widely defined as not having original content but instead pulling content in from other sources. Some do this through legitimate means, such as using RSS files with permission. Others may aggregate small amounts of content under fair use guidelines. Some simply “scrape” or copy content from other sites using automated means — hence the “scraper” nickname.

In short, Google said it was going after sites that had low-levels of original content in January and delivered a week later.

By the way, sometimes Google names big algorithm changes, such as in the case of the Vince update. Often, they get named by WebmasterWorld, where a community of marketers watches such changes closely, as happened with last year’s Mayday Update.

In the case of the scraper update, no one gave it any type of name that stuck. So, I’m naming it myself the “Scraper Update,” to help distinguish it against the “Farmer Update” that Google announced today.
But “Farmer Update” Really Does Target Content Farms

“Farmer Update?” Again, that’s a name I’m giving this change, so there’s a shorthand way to talk about it. Google declined to give it a public name, nor do I see one given in a WebmasterWorld thread that started noticing the algorithm change as it rolled out yesterday, before Google’s official announcement.

Postscript: Internally, Google told me this was called the “Panda” update, but they didn’t want that on-the-record when I wrote this original story. About a week later, they revealed the internal name in a Wired interview.

How can I say the Farmer Update targets content farms when Google specifically declined to confirm that? I’m reading between the lines. Google previously had said it was going after them.

Since Google originally named content farms as something it would target, you’ve had some of the companies that get labeled with that term push back that they are no such thing. Most notable has been Demand Media CEO Richard Rosenblatt, who previously told AllThingsD about Google’s planned algorithm changes to target content farms:

It’s not directed at us in any way.

I understand how that could confuse some people, because of that stupid “content farm” label, which we got tagged with. I don’t know who ever invented it, and who tagged us with it, but that’s not us…We keep getting tagged with “content farm”. It’s just insulting to our writers. We don’t want our writers to feel like they’re part of a “content farm.”

I guess it all comes down to what your definition of a “content farm” is. From Google’s earlier blog post, content farms are places with “shallow or low quality content.”

In that regard, Rosenblatt is right that Demand Media properties like eHow are not necessarily content farms, because they do have some deep and high quality content. However, they clearly also have some shallow and low quality content.

That content is what the algorithm change is going after. Google wouldn’t confirm it was targeting content farms, but Cutts did say again it was going after shallow and low quality content. And since content farms do produce plenty of that — along with good quality content — they’re being targeted here. If they have lots of good content, and that good content is responsible for the majority of their traffic and revenues, they’ll be fine. In not, they should be worried.
More About Who’s Impacted

As I wrote earlier, Google says it has been working on these changes since last January. I can personally confirm that several of Google’s search engineers were worrying about what to do about content farms back then, because I was asked about this issue and thoughts on how to tackle it, when I spoke to the company’s search quality team in January 2010. And no, I’m not suggesting I had any great advice to offer — only that people at Google were concerned about it over a year ago.

Since then, external pressure has accelerated. For instance, start-up search engine Blekko blocked sites that were most reported by its users to be spam, which included many sites that fall under the content farm heading. It gained a lot of attention for the move, even if the change didn’t necessarily improve Blekko’s results.

In my view, that helped prompt Google to finally push out a way for Google users to easily block sites they dislike from showing in Google’s results, via Chrome browser extension to report spam.

Cutts, in my interview with him today, made a point to say that none of the data from that tool was used to make changes that are part of the Farmer Update. However, he went on to say that of the top 50 sites that were most reported as spam by users of the tool, 84% of them were impacted by the new ranking changes. He would not confirm or deny if Demand’s eHow site was part of that list.

“These are sites that people want to go down, and they match our intuition,” Cutts said.

In other words, Google crafted a ranking algorithm to tackle the “content farm problem” independently of the new tool, it says — and it feels like tool is confirming that it’s getting the changes right.
The Content Farm Problem

By the way, my own definition of a content farm that I’ve been working on is like this:

* Looks to see what are popular searches in a particular category (news, help topics)
* Generates content specifically tailored to those searches
* Usually spends very little time and or money, even perhaps as little as possible, to generate that content

The problem I think content farms are currently facing is with that last part — not putting in the effort to generate outstanding content.

For example, last night I did a talk at the University Of Utah about search trends and touched on content farm issues. A page from eHow ranked in Google’s top results for a search on “how to get pregnant fast,” a popular search topic. The advice:

Algorithms And Data Structures

2011-03-11T13:54:00.000-08:00

Alright, so I've decided that I'll try to start writing up some lessons on Algorithms and Data Structures to help with my studies. Hopefully those of you who are new to programming or would like to learn more about algorithms and performance can learn from these.

I'll start by saying that in order to understand what's going on you'll have to have a decent understanding of how to write code (arrays, primitive data types, etc.). Anyway, lets get to business...

Now you may be wondering, why should I study algorithms and performance?

Well you see, performance is often what draws the line between what is feasible and what is impossible.
Algorithms help us understand scalability
And Algorithmic mathematics provide us a language for talking about program behavior

Now that that little introduction is out of the way... Lets discuss Sorting.

What is sorting?

Basically you take an input, a sequence of numbers a1,a2,...,an , and output a permutation such that the first number in the sequence is less than the next.

Example:
Input: 8 2 4 9 3 6
Output: 2 3 4 6 8 9

Lets examine Insertion Sort with the following pseudocode

Code:
Insertion-Sort(A,n)
for j = 2 to n
do key = A[j]
i = j-1
while i > 0 and A[i] > key
do A[i+1] = A[i]
i = i-1
A[i+1] = key

That was simple, but how does it work?

Here's how:
Code:
Step 1: 8 2 4 9 3 6 (Insert 2 and front shift rest right)
Step 2: 2 8 4 9 3 6 (Insert 4 after 2 and shift rest right)
Step 3: 2 4 8 9 3 6 (No swap)
Step 4: 2 4 8 9 3 6 (Insert 3 after 2 and shift rest right)
etc.
Final Step: 2 3 4 6 8 9 (Success)

Okay that's cool, it works, lets examine the running time.

Running time depends on the input. Obviously, an already sorted sequence is easier to sort.

Short sequences are easier to sort than long ones

We need to try and find the upper bound on the running time to guarantee our performance.

Generally we analyze only worst-case or average-case, best case is never used.

So what is insertion sorts worst-case time? In general we ignore machine-dependent constants. Otherwise it's impossible to compare algorithms.

We try to analyze the growth as the size approaches infinity. This is called Asymptotic analysis.

From an engineering standpoint, when analyzing time complexities we drop low-order terms and ignore leading constants.

Eg. 3n^3 + 90n^2 - 5n + 6054 = O(n^3)

When n is large enough an O(n^2) algorithm will ALWAYS beat an O(n^3) algorithm.

Going back to insertion sort.

In the worst case, where input is reverse sorted, the time complexity is of O(n^2).
This holds to be the same for the average case as well (dropping low order terms, leading constants)

So now you should be wondering... Is this fast?

For small n (small sequences), moderately so
For large n, definitely not.

Okay that's great, but if that's not fast for large sequences what do I use instead?

Okay, well lets check out Merge Sort.

Code:
T(n) |MERGE-SORT A[1 . . n]
O(1) | 1. If n = 1, done.
2T(n/2)| 2. Recursively sort A[ 1 . . ⎡n/2⎤ ] and A[ ⎡n/2⎤+1 . . n ] .
O(n) | 3. “Merge” the 2 sorted lists.

I wont go into details as to how this works right now. But this picture should basically describe how it works.

This is linear time. How many times does it do this? Well as you can see it recursively splits the array into two smaller arrays of half the size.

Basically what we have to do is solve:
Code:
T(n) = 2T(n/2) + cn, where c > 0 is constant
T(n) = 2(T(n/4) + cn/2) + cn ....
T(n) = 2(2(T(n/8) + cn/4) + cn/2) + cn
...

We end up with a recursion tree that looks like this

What we get is that merge sort as an upper bound of O(nlg(n)).

Is this good? Well yes. As n gets large nlg(n) grows more slowly than n^2

Asymptotically merge sort beats insertion sort on the worst case.

In general merge sort beats insertion sort for n > 30~ or so.

Meta tags

2011-03-06T22:25:00.000-08:00

The Meta Title tag is used to declare the title of the page. The Meta Title tag would normally have the same title
as contained in the tag.

An example of the Meta Title tag:

Recommendation for the Meta Title tag: It is recommended to use the Meta Title tag with caution. According to
testing, Yahoo! and MSN index the Meta Title tag, but its effect will depend on the algorithm which is inconsistent.
Careful planning of the meta title can boost page rankings.

Meta Description

The Meta Description tag gives a description of the document. The Meta Description tag is a short, plain language description of the document, usually consisting of 20-25 words or less. Search engines that support the Meta Description tag will use the information to publish on their search results page, normally displaying below the Title of your site listing.

An example of a Meta Description tag:

Recommendations of the Meta Description tag: It is recommended to always use the Meta Description tag. Make
your Meta Description as compelling as you can, as your description often is the difference between getting your
listings clicked in the search results. The Meta Description tag is particularly important if your document has very
little text, is a frameset, or has extensive scripts at the top.

Meta Keywords

The Meta Keywords is used to list keywords that define the content of your site. Keywords are used by search
engines to properly index your site in addition to words from the title, document body, and other areas. The
Meta Keywords tag is typically used for synonyms and alternates of title words.

An example of the Meta Keywords tag:

Recommendations for the Meta Keywords tag: It is recommended to use the Meta Keywords tag with caution.
Make sure to only use keywords that are relevant to your site. Search engines are known to penalize or blacklist
your site for abuse.

Which search engines like what in the Meta Info

If we closely look at the main search engines, like Google, Yahoo, Bing, MSN, Ask, AOL, you will discover that they do not all react the same to the meta information. What Google likes doesn't necessary mean Yahoo would like and visa versa. We have ways to please all the engines with our meta tag information strategy.

Google's New Algorithms

2011-03-06T22:20:00.000-08:00

Google's co-founder Larry Page focused on developing the "perfect search engine," an algorithm that would understand what you mean when you are typing a search term and the search engine will give you the exact results that you were looking for.

In our last count, we can happily reveal that there were more than 120 different factors that effect the natural rankings by Google's latest algorithm. The latest algorithm was updated to penalise websites that use forums with negative feedback to boost their rankings.

Google's New Algorithm 2010 / 2011 Revealed

Many SEO Gurus have attempted to give a rough outline of what the Google algorithm might look like. Based on research and suggestions this might be how the formula basically could look like;

Google's Score = (Kw Usage Score * 0.3) + (Domain * 0.25) + (PR Score * 0.25) + (Inbound Link Score * 0.25) + (User Data * 0.1) + (Content Quality Score * 0.1) + (Manual Boosts) - (Automated & Manual Penalties)

Learn how to SEO like a Pro

Google over the years have persistently pursued innovation, constantly updated its algorithm or algorythm (if that is the way you spell it) and refused to accept the limitations of existing models.

As a result, Google's latest development was the breakthrough PageRank™ technology that changed the way searches are conducted today. And if there is one SEO company that knows how the algorithm works and how would it would boost your rankings on Google organic search that would be White Hat Works.

What's new about Google's latest algorithm in 2010 / 2011?

There is much talk in the SEO world about what Google is going to focus on in 2010. Matt Cutts, head of Google’s Webspam team has mentioned and hinted in various forums, Youtube and on his Blog that SEO professionals' latest focus should be in 2010. Part of the Caffeine project, apparently in 2010 the speed of your website and web pages loading will now play a major factor in the algorithm.

SEO E-Marketing ResultsTo achieve faster speed your website needs to be hosted on a super fast host and reducing the overall size of your web pages. Obviously this means moving to a better Internet Service Provider and serving faster websites by increasing the download speed.

This will mean less content on a page, utilising CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and images have to load faster. A webpage downloading speed of 3 seconds or less is pretty good, but 1 second or lower might have to be achieved in cases. You can now measure the speed with a program in the Google's Webmaster Tools.

Does this mean Google in a way is pushing developers to write and create better websites that load faster and content writers to write quality content instead of quantity content? and the digital marketing guys, will they have to be at the same time creative but their art work must be short, sweat and fast loading? Does using flash animations go out the window? Hosting Video clips on your own website? would that be wise? or better to be hosted on You Tube instead?

All these are questions and probably the answers you are looking for is, yes it is!

What could happen is Google favouring certain websites and in the other hand penalise other ones. Websites owners that keep stuffing their pages with content, customer reviews, endless blogs and articles, videos, links and endless images will be penalised.

The good news is websites that are clean, focused, compatible and fast will benefit.

Many SEO professionals are saying that this is not fair for the SME's (small to medium sized business) that cannot afford to be hosted on super fast hosts and do not have large teams that can restructure their websites to go faster. The question is how fast can the cooperate companies react to the ever growing demands of the Internet? Probably not and it will take them months before they even decide what to do. In the other hand SME's probably will be in a better position to react a lot faster due to quick decision making compensating for all the other factors.

The SEO e-marketers also mention about countries that have slow internet access, like in Scotland and other rural areas where you cannot get broadband? Are they going to get penalised? Probably not, as its the Google Bots measuring the speed and not at what speed the website is loaded in these areas on an end users computer. Actually Google in a way by "forcing" developers to increase their websites overall speed would mean these areas with no broadband will benefit in the long run. Mobile phone users with their web enabled devices like the iPhone and Nexus by Google will be able to load more and more websites, specially the ones that are more lean and load faster.

White Hat Works Conclusion for 2010 and 2011:

* Host your website on a super fast Internet Service Provider
* Use CSS as much as possible and comply with website usability
* Write quality content, not quantity content
* Convert your a Flash website to a HTML website
* Export your Flash animations where possible - more SEO Tips
* Keep images and their size to a minimum without loosing the quality
* Test your website in various browsers and mobile phone devices
* Make your website Google Friendly
* Get free guidance from a reputable SEO E-marketing Company

Faster websites means Google can keep up with the growth of the Internet without the need to keep buying and installing new servers. Many have asked, how many servers does Google have? This is a well kept secret, but if you do your maths and calculations the number of servers could be around 700,000 and growing. These servers are spread over 100 data-centres around the globe and makes Google the largest IT producer of (Co2) carbon emissions on Earth.

Google is in the business of providing a top notch service and encouraging growth, but at the same time be profitable by keeping their costs and carbon emissions down.

Hence the need for this new factor that will be included in the updated Google 2010 Algorythm. Maybe the main reason Google is focusing on speed is because what they really are trying to do is to reduce their carbon foot print and we (SEO guys and website owners) all need to help them achieve this.

One effected company said:

We are an ecommerce site that has been running for almost 5 months and have seen steadily growing traffic. We have made no major changes to our website recently but are continually adding content and products to the site. Our site has been severely affected (almost 50% down on traffic) since last Tuesday (07/12/10) which coincides with the latest 2011 algorithm change which was the response to the New York Times article regarding Black Hat SEO techniques.

I have struggled to find much information about it and it doesn't seem to be widely talked about at the moment. As far as I can tell it will specifically target site reviews and penalise people with negative feedback. Because we are a relatively young site we don't have any feedback (negative or otherwise). Is it visible that this could have such a dramatic effect on a site that has essentially done nothing wrong and has anyone had the same problem?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated because we are being hit particularly hard in the lead up to Christmas which should be our busiest weeks.

How To Get Local Customers with Local Internet Marketing

2010-11-27T13:00:00.000-08:00

When you target your local customers with the help of web based strategies, it is called local internet marketing.

Whenever you run a business, there are 2 essential aspects of it-

1. The business should be functional, and running.

2. It should have customers.

If your business does not deliver products or services that can be used by others, then it cannot succeed. Similarly, if you do not attract customers, then also your business will go down shortly.

The same thing goes with any web based business as well. You need to offer good services, and you also need to attract new customers.

Now, the web is a vast source of almost everything. If you create a website, it will be viewed by people all across the world. From people in US to people in China- they all will be able to see it. But in essence, you only want people from your own or neighboring cities to see it, so that they can contact you and order your products or services- unless of course your business is spread across multiple countries.

You know that even if a person from Japan likes your product, it wouldn’t be of any use since you cannot send your product there. So you need local internet marketing- something to attract only the local customers.

Now, when you hire a local internet marketing company, their strategies are focused around local customers. Let’s say you have a pizza shop in New York. Targeting people from Texas wouldn’t be useful. This is the reason why you need a local company for your needs.

There are many steps that your local marketing company can take to grab the attention of people.

* They can enlist your website in directories of small businesses.
* They can use SEO with local keywords. This will make people from your city land on your page. This is a very good local marketing strategy.
* They can get you on social media. With Facebook and Twitter, you can get famous instantly.

You can select any local internet marketing company, but you should try to know more about them, and hire the best.

Use LinkedIn for Small Business

2010-11-21T12:33:00.000-08:00

Not long ago we published a blog post with essential tips on how to use LinkedIn for your small business. Since then, Facebook and Twitter continued to rise and flourish under the social media spotlight. But it doesn’t mean that LinkedIn had not gone through its own evolution, because it did. Just check out the stream of activity on the official LinkedIn blog. Or take numbers as proof: today, 80 million professionals – and counting – have signed up to exchange information, ideas, and opportunities through the social networking site.

After all these new LinkedIn features and developments, we thought it would be a great time for an update. Here’s a list of tips on LinkedIn for small business – tips that may not have occurred to you just yet, but which will certainly give your online presence a huge boost.

Upload that picture. Okay, we did mention this in that previous article – “brand your profile” – but judging from some of the entries in LinkedIn’s vast member directory, it seems that a lot of people are still choosing not to use a picture on their LinkedIn profiles. Some perhaps do not want to reveal their ethnicities, while some simply do not want to be judged professionally on the basis of their looks. There could be hundreds of reasons. But we’ll stand by our original advice: use a picture. It’s the 21^st century: if you come across someone who’s going to treat you with such discrimination, you probably wouldn’t want to work with that someone anyway.

Ask for LinkedIn recommendations. Need to build yourself up with positive reviews and testimonials from other professionals? Make it easy on yourself by E-mailing your contacts and preparing the recommendation text/letter yourself.

Join groups. Expand your reach on LinkedIn by joining groups that are relevant to your business. LinkedIn has a search feature for doing just that. Of course, be as selective and discerning as you can. As they say, it’s not about the quantity of your networks; it’s about the quality.

Optimize your profile. That way, both the professionals and the search engines will find you. Hyperlink the URLs in your profile, insert links with anchor text, add a few select keywords to describe what you do, etc. Sounds like SEO 101, sure, but these methods are fundamental and foundational. You can’t go wrong with ‘em.

Use third-party apps. Yes, with LinkedIn, you can leverage the power of other social media and networking tools. The Slideshare app, for example, lets you showcase your presentations, documents, PDFs, marketing and sales presentations, etc. to a LinkedIn audience. The TripIt app, meanwhile, lets others in on your business travel plans, so they can connect with you, say, at your next industry event or next out-of-town seminar.

Update your profile. Every time you log-in, write down something that would describe what your current status and objectives are. It can be something like a “tweet” – a simple one-line update – but keep it professional. Like “looking to hire a new social media manager” or “planning my next sales seminar and looking for sponsors”.

Promote your LinkedIn profile. You may already have Twitter and Facebook widgets on your website. It won’t hurt to add a LinkedIn one. Crosslink and mix it up to leverage each and every social media channel Promote your LinkedIn profile on your blog, too, if you can, as well as on your E-mail signature, your business card, your letterhead, and other promotional and publicity literature.

Post your LinkedIn events – or join others’ events. Just like what you would do in real-life – if there was no such thing as the Internet. Organizing and joining events are a great way to make new connections. But more than that, it shows you’re proactive, ready to engage, ready to connect, and passionate about meeting the people who can have a positive involvement in your business. Have a company event? Let your LinkedIn connections know about it – even if it’s just a webinar.

Create saved searches. Not a lot of users take advantage of LinkedIn’s search prowess. Fewer save their searches. We don’t know why, either, but creating saved searches (you get 3 at the basic level) lets you just sit back, relax, and wait for LinkedIn’s automatically generated weekly E-mails, containing new search results, new potential clients, partners, industries, and connections.

Easy Way To Get One-Way Backlinks

2010-11-14T19:25:00.000-08:00

Here is a method to get some one-way backlinks that works pretty well. You need to get a secondary site. Set up something simple and contact other webmasters to trade links (reciprocal links). It can be from a different niche. Put all the links ********, it doesn 't matter.

After a few reciprocal links (10~30) we need to redirect our secondary site to our main site. We will use a 301 redirect. But we will only redirect search engines, not normal users. This way you can continue with the reciprocal links and the other webmasters will not remove the backlinks.

Use this code on the top of the PHP file(s) to redirect all the backlinks to your main site (don 't forget to change your link):

if (preg_match("#(google|slurp@inktomi|yahoo! slurp|msnbot)#si", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) {

header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://www.your-main-site.com/");
exit;
Now you will have one-way backlinks to your main site. Google will redirect the link juice to the main site and will not crawl the backlinks of the other webmasters on the secondary site.

Some notes:
- you can use a better script to do that.
- I believe that the secondary site will have the same pagerank after the redirection (or the actualization of pagerank).
- It 's easier to trade links on niches like games, porno etc. Keep that in mind, your goal is to trade many links.
- you can redirect before the first backlinks, but I think this works better this way

How to set up Google Analytics

2009-08-03T00:51:00.000-07:00

Google Analytics is a great tool and will help you monitor your traffic effectively - it even shows you where on earth your users are coming from.

In my experience it is more precise than other similar services and provides nicer reports with many more details.

To get started go ahead and make an account here:
http://www.google.com/analytics/

You will have to click "Sign Up Now" and fill out the form.

Once you are done registering, Google will send an email to you and all you have to do is click a link to activate your account.

Then, log in to your Google Analytics account here:
http://www.google.com/analytics/

make a profile first, so click the "Sign Up" button:
In the next step fill in your website's or blog's URL without http://,
It will automatically fill the account name section for you, now click "Continue"

In the next step fill in your name and choose your country: (Phone number is optional)
Click "Continue" and check the box in the next step which means that you are agree with Google Analytics TOS (Terms Of Services)
Then click "Continue" and you will see a little HTML code which you have to copy and paste into your website's HTML code.

I recommend pasting this code in between your head tag.

There are loads of HTML tags and text in between these tags.
So you will have to copy and paste the code in between head and head tag.

After that click "Continue" and you are all set.

This all it takes to set it up - after 2 or 3 days when Google Analytics collects enough data about your visitors, you can login and see detailed reports of your visitors.

Search engines can't see your pictures, and for that neither can visually impaired internet users - one way you can help the 2 parties better understand what your website is about is to place alt tags in ALL of your images.

Alt tags should give a good, basic description of whatever the image actually IS. For instance, our Seo Directory ad in the sidebar has an alt tag that is descriptive enough that search engine spiders understand what the image represents.

Here's how:
Get into your website code or template and wherever you see

add this little bit of info to the code alt="ENTER DESCRIPTIVE TAG HERE"
so it looks like this instead:

" alt="ENTER DESCRIPTIVE TAG HERE" />

And you're all set.

Addition accessible way to get added long-tail after-effects is to accept a blog, and allocution about what you do, the blazon of casework you provide, and industry annual from your point of view. If you admeasurement your after-effects in an analytics program, you are abiding to be afraid at the advanced array of chase after-effects you see for your articles and casework afterwards your pages are best up by chase engines.

How to aggrandize your continued appendage attendance in Pay-Per-Click

PPC continued appendage agreement are added by accretion your set of keywords. The aboriginal and easiest way to do this is to use the keyword apparatus provided by the business platform. Google Adwords does a abundant job of suggesting long-tail terms, and annihilation that is accordant should be added. Adding beneath accordant agreement may aftereffect in a lower affection score. Whenever possible, the keyword for anniversary appellation should acreage the user on the best accordant folio to the artefact or service. There are assorted means to adapt all of your long-tail terms, but alike a low annual armpit could accept several hundred long-tail keywords in a distinct campaign. About-face tracking is awful recommended, as you will acquisition that some agreement will accept a actual aerial about-face rate, and you will appetite to acclimatize your annual so you can booty advantage of the best phrases. You may additionally agenda that some agreement get poor results, so you should either abeyance the keywords or fix the landing folio so it matches the chump chase appellation better.

One adjustment for breeding continued appendage PPC agreement is not recommended because it may not be annual the time. There are accoutrement that automatically accomplish continued phrases for PPC campaigns, but several of these artlessly accomplish it harder to clue campaigns. Chase engines accept additionally placed restrictions on the cardinal of keywords in an ad group, so you are usually bigger off combing through the annual appropriate by the chase engine’s keyword tool. (You can adhesive your Google Adwords agreement assimilate Yahoo Chase Business and/or MSN Searchcenter, and carnality versa.) We had one annual which had over 40,000 keywords in Yahoo, but back we did a statistical assay we begin that beneath than 3,000 words got a distinct consequence over the antecedent 2 years, so we fabricated the chump added able by deleting all the bare phrases.

In attenuate cases with both SEO and PPC, a few clicks a ages can actualize millions of dollars in revenue. There are assertive items, like abundant accessories and automated machinery, that don’t accept the short-tail chase accumulated that customer articles get. Nonetheless, the aggregation that is optimized for its artefact or annual is activity to be the one that gets clicked, visited, and called. This affectionate of sales befalling can’t be underestimated, alike for companies with a 2-year sales aeon on an abstruse automated process. For abounding companies, the advance of a few thousand dollars on long-tail SEO phrases can acknowledgment millions in profits.

How do you admeasurement long-tail effectiveness? This is generally a boxy question. Short-tail agreement can be abstinent in the amplitude of a few weeks based on ambition about-face rates. If you accept several thousand visits, a 5% about-face bulk on a distinct appellation makes for an accessible decision. On the added ancillary of the coin, if you haven’t gotten 20 visits for a assertive keyword, you don’t accept abundant advice to see if the appellation is accomplishing you any good. Here, you are bigger off evaluating the achievement of the absolute ad group, and free which ads are accepting the best results. If you see that keywords with assertive short-tail admixture phrases aren’t accepting results, you can apparently about-face best of those words off. For the best PPC terms, you should accede architecture SEO pages that analyze the affair (or phrase) in added detail and get a few alien links for these terms.

As a tip for our readers, Google Arcade (AKA Froogle) is a abundant abode to analysis out long-tail agreement for products. If you can catechumen your arcade barrow database into a Google Base feed, afresh upload it to Google shopping, you can accumulation off the abounding altered kinds of searches that bodies accomplish every day. As a rule, accordant advice (product number, description, color, size, price) will advice you aces up on the advanced array of searches bodies accomplish anniversary day.

Executing a long-tail SEO action takes a assertive bulk of work, but it can be awful rewarding. Since abounding of the agreement complex are not as competitive, there is a abeyant for amount savings, abnormally if you are a new business aggravating to breach into accustomed online fields. You can additionally use the long-tail action if you are a baby business with a bound budget, and appetite to carve out a assisting alcove amid huge retail sites that may not alike apprehension your presence. Alike if you are a ample business, you may accept a baby allotment of awful assisting articles that would account from a bigger chase agent presence. In any case, blank the abeyant of long-tail search, alike for companies that accept bound up the short-tail, is a way of abrogation money on the table for addition else.

Be Successful with Google

2009-07-17T04:37:00.000-07:00

The following will build a successful site in 1 years time via Google alone. It can be done faster if you are a real go getter, or everyones favorite a self starter.

A) Prep work and begin building content. Long before the domain name is settled on, start putting together notes to build at least a 100 page site. That's just for openers. That's 100 pages of real content, as opposed to link pages, resource pages, about/copyright/tos...etc eg: fluff pages.

B) Domain name:
Easily brandable. You want "google.com" and not "mykeyword.com". Keyword domains are out - branding and name recognition are in - big time in. The value of keywords in a domain name have never been less to se's. Learn the lesson of "goto.com" becomes "Overture.com" and why they did it. It's one of the most powerful gut check calls I've ever seen on the internet. That took serious resolve and nerve to blow away several years of branding. (that is a whole 'nother article, but learn the lesson as it applies to all of us).

C) Site Design:
The simpler the better. Rule of thumb: text content should out weight the html content. The pages should validate and be usable in everything from Lynx to leading edge browsers. eg: keep it close to html 3.2 if you can. Spiders are not to the point they really like eating html 4.0 and the mess that it can bring. Stay away from heavy: flash, dom, java, java script. Go external with scripting languages if you must have them - there is little reason to have them that I can see - they will rarely help a site and stand to hurt it greatly due to many factors most people don't appreciate (search engines distaste for js is just one of them).
Arrange the site in a logical manner with directory names hitting the top keywords you wish to hit.
You can also go the other route and just throw everything in root (this is rather controversial, but it's been producing good long term results across many engines).
Don't clutter and don't spam your site with frivolous links like "best viewed" or other counter like junk. Keep it clean and professional to the best of your ability.

Learn the lesson of Google itself - simple is retro cool - simple is what surfers want.

Speed isn't everything, it's almost the only thing. Your site should respond almost instantly to a request. If you get into even 3-4 seconds delay until "something happens" in the browser, you are in long term trouble. That 3-4 seconds response time may vary for site destined to live in other countries than your native one. The site should respond locally within 3-4 seconds (max) to any request. Longer than that, and you'll lose 10% of your audience for every second. That 10% could be the difference between success and not.

The pages:

D) Page Size:
The smaller the better. Keep it under 15k if you can. The smaller the better. Keep it under 12k if you can. The smaller the better. Keep it under 10k if you can - I trust you are getting the idea here. Over 5k and under 10k. Ya - that bites - it's tough to do, but it works. It works for search engines, and it works for surfers. Remember, 80% of your surfers will be at 56k or even less.

E) Content:
Build one page of content and put online per day at 200-500 words. If you aren't sure what you need for content, start with the Overture keyword suggester and find the core set of keywords for your topic area. Those are your subject starters.

F) Density, position, yada...
Simple old fashioned seo from the ground up.
Use the keyword once in title, once in description tag, once in a heading, once in the url, once in bold, once in italic, once high on the page, and hit the density between 5 and 20% (don't fret about it). Use good sentences and speel check it ;-) Spell checking is becoming important as se's are moving to auto correction during searches. There is no longer a reason to look like you can't spell (unless you really are phonetically challenged).

G) Outbound Links:
From every page, link to one or two high ranking sites under that particular keyword. Use your keyword in the link text (this is ultra important for the future).

H) Insite Cross links.
(cross links in this context are links WITHIN the same site)
Link to on topic quality content across your site. If a page is about food, then make sure it links it to the apples and veggies page. Specifically with Google, on topic cross linking is very important for sharing your pr value across your site. You do NOT want an "all star" page that out performs the rest of your site. You want 50 pages that produce 1 referral each a day and do NOT want 1 page that produces 50 referrals a day. If you do find one page that drastically out produces the rest of the site with Google, you need to off load some of that pr value to other pages by cross linking heavily. It's the old share the wealth thing.

I) Put it Online.
Don't go with virtual hosting - go with a stand alone ip.
Make sure the site is "crawlable" by a spider. All pages should be linked to more than one other page on your site, and not more than 2 levels deep from root. Link the topic vertically as much as possible back to root. A menu that is present on every page should link to your sites main "topic index" pages (the doorways and logical navigation system down into real content).
Don't put it online before you have a quality site to put online. It's worse to put a "nothing" site online, than no site at all. You want it flushed out from the start.

Go for a listing in the ODP. If you have the budget, then submit to Looksmart and Yahoo. If you don't have the budget, then try for a freebie on Yahoo (don't hold your breath).

J) Submit
Submit the root to: Google, Fast, Altavista, WiseNut, (write Teoma), DirectHit, and Hotbot. Now comes the hard part - forget about submissions for the next six months. That's right - submit and forget.

K) Logging and Tracking:
Get a quality logger/tracker that can do justice to inbound referrals based on log files (don't use a lame graphic counter - you need the real deal). If your host doesn't support referrers, then back up and get a new host. You can't run a modern site without full referrals available 24x7x365 in real time.

L) Spiderlings:
Watch for spiders from se's. Make sure those that are crawling the full site, can do so easily. If not, double check your linking system (use standard hrefs) to make sure the spider found it's way throughout the site. Don't fret if it takes two spiderings to get your whole site done by Google or Fast. Other se's are pot luck and doubtful that you will be added at all if not within 6 months.

M) Topic directories.
Almost every keyword sector has an authority hub on it's topic. Go submit within the guidelines.

N) Links
Look around your keyword sector in Googles version of the ODP. (this is best done AFTER getting an odp listing - or two). Find sites that have links pages or freely exchange links. Simply request a swap. Put a page of on topic, in context links up your self as a collection spot.
Don't freak if you can't get people to swap links - move on. Try to swap links with one fresh site a day. A simple personal email is enough. Stay low key about it and don't worry if site Z won't link with you - they will - eventually they will.

O) Content.
One page of quality content per day. Timely, topical articles are always the best. Try to stay away from to much "bloggin" type personal stuff and look more for "article" topics that a general audience will like. Hone your writing skills and read up on the right style of "web speak" that tends to work with the fast and furious web crowd.

Lots of text breaks - short sentences - lots of dashes - something that reads quickly.

Most web users don't actually read, they scan. This is why it is so important to keep low key pages today. People see a huge overblown page by random, and a portion of them will hit the back button before trying to decipher it. They've got better things to do that waste 15 seconds (a stretch) at understanding your whiz bang flash menu system. Because some big support site can run flashed out motorhead pages, that is no indication that you can. You don't have the pull factor they do.

Use headers, and bold standout text liberally on your pages as logical separators. I call them scanner stoppers where the eye will logically come to rest on the page.

P) Gimmicks.
Stay far away from any "fades of the day" or anything that appears spammy, unethical, or tricky. Plant yourself firmly on the high ground in the middle of the road.

Q) Link backs
When YOU receive requests for links, check the site out before linking back with them. Check them through Google and their pr value. Look for directory listings. Don't link back to junk just because they asked. Make sure it is a site similar to yours and on topic.

R) Rounding out the offerings:
Use options such as Email-a-friend, forums, and mailing lists to round out your sites offerings. Hit the top forums in your market and read, read, read until your eyes hurt you read so much.
Stay away from "affiliate fades" that insert content on to your site.

S) Beware of Flyer and Brochure Syndrome
If you have an ecom site or online version of bricks and mortar, be careful not to turn your site into a brochure. These don't work at all. Think about what people want. They aren't coming to your site to view "your content", they are coming to your site looking for "their content". Talk as little about your products and yourself as possible in articles (raise eyebrows...yes, I know).

T) Build one page of content per day.
Head back to the Overture suggestion tool to get ideas for fresh pages.

U) Study those logs.
After 30-60 days you will start to see a few referrals from places you've gotten listed. Look for the keywords people are using. See any bizarre combinations? Why are people using those to find your site? If there is something you have over looked, then build a page around that topic. Retro engineer your site to feed the search engine what it wants.
If your site is about "oranges", but your referrals are all about "orange citrus fruit", then you can get busy building articles around "citrus" and "fruit" instead of the generic "oranges".
The search engines will tell you exactly what they want to be fed - listen closely, there is gold in referral logs, it's just a matter of panning for it.

V) Timely Topics
Nothing breeds success like success. Stay abreast of developments in your keyword sector. If big site "Z" is coming out with product "A" at the end of the year, then build a page and have it ready in October so that search engines get it by December. eg: go look at all the Xbox and XP sites in Google right now - those are sites that were on the ball last summer.

W) Friends and Family
Networking is critical to the success of a site. This is where all that time you spend in forums will pay off. pssst: Here's the catch-22 about forums: lurking is almost useless. The value of a forum is in the interaction with your fellow colleagues and cohorts. You learn long term by the interaction - not by just reading.
Networking will pay off in link backs, tips, email exchanges, and it will put you "in the loop" of your keyword sector.

X) Notes, Notes, Notes
If you build one page per day, you will find that brain storm like inspiration will hit you in the head at some magic point. Whether it is in the shower (dry off first), driving down the road (please pull over), or just parked at your desk, write it down! 10 minutes of work later, you will have forgotten all about that great idea you just had. Write it down, and get detailed about what you are thinking. When the inspirational juices are no longer flowing, come back to those content ideas. It sounds simple, but it's a life saver when the ideas stop coming.

Y) Submission check at six months
Walk back through your submissions and see if you got listed in all the search engines you submitted to after six months. If not, then resubmit and forget again. Try those freebie directories again too.

Z) Build one page of quality content per day.
Starting to see a theme here? Google loves content, lots of quality content. Broad based over a wide range of keywords. At the end of a years time, you should have around 400 pages of content. That will get you good placement under a wide range of keywords, generate recip links, and overall position your site to stand on it's own two feet.

Do those 26 things, and I guarantee you that in ones years time you will call your site a success. It will be drawing between 500 and 2000 referrals a day from search engines. If you build a good site with an average of 4 to 5 pages per user, you should be in the 10-15k page views per day range in one years time. What you do with that traffic is up to you, but that is more than enough to "do something" with.

Targeted Search Ads Separate From Content Ads

2009-07-17T04:25:00.000-07:00

Organizing your Adwords accounts and campaigns to separate pay per click results for targeted search ads and targeted content ads will help you manage your Adwords campaigns for better return on investment. Let's take a detailed look at how...

Google has two basic types of ways that it displays your targeted pay per click advertisements, search ads and content ads. This search ad and content ad concept is also applicable for Yahoo! and MSN.
Targeted Search Ad Results

When the searcher conducts research on the keyword or a keyword phrase they are delivered the page of results in their browser. In the left column are the top ten pages considered most relevant to the key word being searched. A smaller column to the right includes paid advertisements that are related and relevant to the keyword being searched.These are targeted search ads.

Clicks derived from targeted search ad results are likely to be highly effective because of the context in which they are delivered. The searcher is actively interested in finding out information related to the keywords being searched.

Traffic generated from paid clicks on targeted search ad results are likely to:

* be highly engaged with your content or product
* have better clicks through rates
* be more likely to convert into leads or buyers.

Targeted Content Ad Results

Many publishers of online content try to generate income by displaying ads alongside their content. Syndicated content ads by Google (and a host of other networks) run on these pages and these content ads are targeted to match the content of the ad copy with the content of the pages. This match-up thereby delivers targeted content ads that are relevant to for the reader of the web page.

Clicks derived from ads embedded in content are a completely different animal from targeted search ad results which appear on the right hand column of the search engine results page. The person clicking on targeted content ads has a much more casual interest in what you have to offer. They were reading an article or scanning a page and stumbled upon your ad… and clicked it. They may simply be curious rather than genuinely interested.

Traffic generated from paid clicks on targeted content ads are likely to be:

* less engaged with your content or product
* have significantly lower click through rates
* less likely to convert into leads for buyers once they reach your website.

These differences will dramatically affect how you manage your bids, budgets, copy development and a whole lot more. Here are some key points to consider:

Differing click through rates and conversion rates
If you mix your search ads and content ads together in the same campaigns or adgroups you may find it very difficult to track your performance because of the significant differences in click through rates and conversion.

Click through rates for targeted search ads can be up to 100 times the click through rates for targeted content ads. If you got an average click through rate of 1% from your targeted search ads and only 0.01% from your targeted content ads they will have a combined campaign level click through rate of about .5% which doesn’t tell you anything meaningful and gives you nothing you can act upon.

Differing keyword groupings & quality scores
The keyword lists you develop for targeted search ads will generally be putting organized in categories and sub categories so you can match them up closely with your ad copy to get a higher quality score. This leads to a large number of campaign and ad groups which demands greater time to manage.

Quality score is not as important for content targeted results so you may want to have fewer ad groups and target broader keywords which will trigger relevant content. This makes your content targeted ad campaigns much easier to manage.

Differing methods for optimization
Optimizing for targeted search ads involves strategic bidding based upon conversion rates for specific keywords. Optimizing for targeted content ads is more about tracking the overall performance of the group. This is because currently you do not get any feedback on which particular keywords triggered the ad placement for the click through.

Another unique element for optimizing targeted content ads is exclusions of irrelevant words… For example an advertisement for Phlebotomy products targeting the word “blood” might want to eliminate the word “vampire”.

Or, poorly performing websites like myspace.com so as to avoid all the twilight fan sites. These can eat up your daily budget in a heartbeat so be on guard!

Excluding irrelevant words and websites is not an issue with targeted search ads.

404 Pages And SEO

2009-07-17T04:19:00.001-07:00

Many times, website owners will spend so much time focusing on what they want their visitors to see, they forget about optimizing what they don’t expect their visitors to see.

In recent weeks, I’ve seen several mishandled 404s, but one theme seems to return “200 OK” codes to search engine crawlers for 404 pages. The sites doing this are pretty significant sites we’ve looked to engage from an SEO perspective.

In a couple cases through our monitoring of Webmaster Tools, we’ve even discovered client sites with this issue. The last thing you need in the Google index is an error page. But even worse are multiple URLs that were mistyped being returned as “OK.”

Another interesting trend I’ve seen is dynamically generated 301 or 302 redirects that send users to either the home page or a custom error page when someone mistypes the URL from a domain into the browser. For example, if I typed www.searchenginewatch.com/doesnotexist, I’m led to a nice custom 404 error page that offers users a number of choices to find the right page. The key is to understand exactly what kind of response code it returned to the server.

In order to check response codes, I like to use the SEOconsultants.com tool. If I place the mistyped URL above into the box at this page, I get a detailed list of how the page is seen from a crawler’s perspective. The call to the server generates a 301 redirect to the custom 404 page described above, but most important, it returns a “Server Response” of 404 not found.

Because the user is led to a page with more information, they will likely be happy and continue to navigate in order to find what they want. The key is that by the server response code being a 404, the URL won’t be indexed in the search engines and will simply “disappear.”

Now if the response code was “200 OK,” which is a mistake developers sometimes make, a new URL could be indexed (/doesnotexist) with possible duplicate content. The home page is often used to redirect people in the event of a dead or non-existent page.

From a user experience standpoint, it’s arguable if that’s the right choice or if the user should be sent to an error page. I’m sure you can find many people on both sides of that fence. From an SEO perspective, you can end up with duplicate versions of your home page in the search engine indexes, but with bogus URLs.

Without a custom 404 error page, the visitor — human or robot — is left with only two courses of action: to abandon their search or click the back button. Search engines can reduce rankings due to server errors and broken pages. Simple errors such as “404 page not found” in large quantities can make the search engines believe that a site isn’t complete or is under construction and, as a result, they may determine that the site isn’t worthy of strong search engine rankings.

When a nonexistent page is requested from the server, the server should respond with a special “HTTP Status” header value of “404 Not Found,” which may also be followed by custom error-page body content. Incorrectly configured Web-servers that respond with a status header value of “200″ (or any other erroneous value) are exposed to significant risk with respect to search engines’ “duplicate content penalties.” This is because the identical content (in this case, the error page content) would be available under a potentially infinite number of URLs.

Custom 404 pages serve several important purposes. First, they return the correct code to the users and to search engine spiders, informing the visitors that the page they were seeking wasn’t found. Second, custom 404 pages present visitors with options about what to do next. Without a custom 404 error page, the visitor — human or robot — is left with only two courses of action: to abandon their search or click the back button. Neither of these are a satisfactory response to an error.

Geis provides specific recommendations to several clients on this issue. So, if you have this problem with your sites, don’t feel like you’re alone. Take care of it because it could potentially be damaging in the long term from a user experience and SEO perspective.

How To Rank Well Using Long Tail Keywords

2009-07-17T04:18:00.001-07:00

With hundreds of thousands of new web pages going live on the Internet each and every single day, you may find yourself struggling in order to achieve high search engine rankings. With all the competition, ranking well for highly competitive and sought after keywords could take many months if not years, and could potentially cost a lot of money as well.

The SEO trend over the past two years or so has been steering more toward “long tail” keywords. Long tail keywords are highly targeted, narrowed down, niche keywords with less competition which allows you to rank well for a less competitive keyword or phrase. The benefit is not only less competition, but also the fact that you will be attracting higher targeted visitors.

For example, if you are a car dealership trying to achieve high organic search engine rankings, we can narrow down a long tail keyword as follows:

New car
New Honda
New Honda Accord
New Honda Accord 4 door
New silver Honda Accord 4 door

Rank Well Using Long Tail KeywordsNotice that each keyword is narrowed down more and more until we reach the long tail keyword of “new silver Honda Accord 4 door”.

You could only imagine how difficult it would be to rank well for the term “new car” or “new Honda”, and any traffic coming from those keywords is not very targeted. However, the competition for the term “new silver Honda Accord 4 door” would be much less and at the same time the traffic you would receive from that keyword would be much more targeted to the content on your page.

Therefore, when choosing keywords, be as targeted as possible. Instead of trying to rank well for a very broad, generalized term, discover some long tail keywords that you can use instead.

Google Dance?

2009-07-13T22:18:00.000-07:00

What Is A Google Dance?

The name "Google Dance" is often used to describe the index update of the Google search engine. Google's index update occurs on average once per month. It can be identified by significant movement in search results and especially by Google's cache of all indexed pages reflecting the status of Google's last spidering. But the update does not proceed as a switch from one index to another at one point in time. In fact, it takes several days to complete the index update. During this period, the old and the new index alternate on www.google.com. At an early stage, the results from the new index occur sporadically. But later on, they appear more frequently. Google dances.

Technical Background on Google

The Google search engine pulls its results from more than 10,000 servers which are simple Linux PCs that are used by Google for reasons of cost. Naturally, an index update cannot be proceeded on all those servers at the same time. One server after the other has to be updated with the new index.

Many webmasters think that, during the Google Dance, Google is in some way able to control if a server with the new index or a server with an old index responds to a search query. But, since Google's index is inverse, this would be very complicated. As we will show below, there is no such control within the system. In fact, the reason for the Google Dance is Google's way of using the Domain Name System (DNS).

Google Dance and DNS

Not only Google's index is spread over more than 10,000 servers, but also these servers are, as of now, placed in eight different data centers. These data centers are mainly located in the US (i.e. Santa Clara, California and Herndon, Virginia), indeed, in June 2002 Google's first European data center in Zurich, Switzerland went online. Very likely, there are more data centers to come, which will perhaps be spread over the whole world. However, in January and April 2003 Google has put two data centers on stream which are again located in the US.

In order to direct traffic to all these data centers, Google could thoeretically record all queries centrally and then send them to the data centers. But this would obviously be inefficient. In fact, each data center has its own IP address (numerical address on the internet) and the way these IP addresses are accessed is managed by the Domain Name System.

Basically, the DNS works like this: On the Internet, data transfers always take place in-between IP addresses. The information about which domain resolves to which IP address is provided by the name servers of the DNS. When a user enters a domain into his browser, a locally configured name server gets him the IP address for that domain by contacting the name server which is responsible for that domain. (The DNS is structured hierarchically. Illustrating the whole process would go beyond the scope of this paper.) The IP address is then cached by the name server, so that it is not necessary to contact the responsible name server each time a connection is built up to a domain.

The records for a domain at the responsible name server constitute for how long the record may be cached by a caching name server. This is the Time To Live (TTL) of a domain. As soon as the TTL expires, the caching name server has to fetch the record for a domain again from the responsible name server. Quite often, the TTL is set to one or more days. In contrast, the Time To Live of the domain www.google.com is only five minutes. So, a name server may only cache Google's IP address for five minutes and has then to look up the IP address again.

Each time, Google's name server is contacted, it sends back the IP address of only one data center. In this way, Google queries are always directed to different data centers by changing DNS records. On the one hand, the DNS records may be based on the load of the single data centers. In this way, Google would conduct a simple form of load balancing by its use of the DNS. On the other hand, the geographical location of a caching name server may influence how often it receives the single data centers' IP addresses. So, the distance for data transmissions can be reduced. In order to show the DNS records of the domain www.google.com, we present them here by the example of one caching name server.

How data centers, DNS and Google Dance are related, is easily answered. During the Google Dance, the data centers do not receive the new index at the same time. In fact, the new index is transferred to one data center after the other. When a user queries Google during the Google Dance, he may get the results from a data center which still has the old index at one point im time and from a data center which has the new index a few minutes later. From the users perspective, the index update took place within some minutes. But of course, this procedure may reverse, so that Google switches seemingly between the old and the new index.

The Google Dance Test Domains www2 & www3

The beginning of a Google Dance can always be watched at the test domains www2.google.com and www3.google.com. Those domains normally have stable DNS records which make the domains resolve to only one (often the same) IP address. Before the Google Dance begins, at least one of the test domains is assigned the IP address of the data center that receives the new index first.

Building up a completely new index once per month can cause quite some trouble. After all, Google has to spider some billion documents an then to process many TeraBytes of data. Therefore, testing the new index is inevitable. Of course, the folks at Google don't need the test domains themselves. Most certainly, they have many options to check a new index internally, but they do not have a lot of time to conduct the tests.

So, the reason for having www2 and www3 is rather to show the new index to webmasters which are interested in their upcoming rankings. Many of these webmasters discuss the new index at the Google forums out on the web. These discussions can be observed by Google employees. At that time, the general public cannot see the new index yet, because the DNS records for www.google.com normally do not point to the IP address of the data center that is updated first when the update begins.

As soon as Google's test community of forums members does not find any severe malfunctions caused by the new index, Google's DNS records are ready to make www.google.com resolve the the data center that is updated first. This is the time when the Google Dance begins. But if severe malfunctions become obvious during this test phase, there is still the possibility to cancel the update at the other data centers. The domain www.google.com would not resolve to the data center which has the flawed index and the general public could not take any notice about it. In this case, the index could be rebuilt or the web could be spidered again.

So, the search results which are to be seen on www2.google.com and www3.google.com will always appear on www.google.com later on, as long as there is a regular index update. However, there may be minor fluctuations. On the one hand, the index at one data center never absolutely equals the index at another data center. We can easily check this by watching the number of results for the same query at the data center domains listed above, which often differ from each other. On the other hand, it is often assumed that the iterative PageRank calculation is not finished yet, when the Google Dance begins so that preliminary values exert influence on rankings at that point in time.

With all of the news about Twitter, Facebook and other social-media technologies, it can be overwhelming. But if you start with a few changes to your traditional press releases, you can significantly increase buzz online.

Here are three quick tips to get started:

After writing your traditional press release, use one of the numerous services available to add appropriate keywords and make it “search friendly.” Try www.prnewswire.com, www.prweb.com, or www.businesswire.com.

2. Do it Yourself.

Search for keywords using free tools like www.wordtracker.com, www.google.com and www.keyworddiscovery.com. Then, insert the words into your release. You can use a tool like Hubspot, http://pressrelease.grader.com/, to check your work.

3. Hire a Professional, SEO Copywriter.

It takes time and effort to write a press release that will be picked up by the search engines using the appropriate keywords for your target market. While the services mentioned in step one will optimize a release for you, it’s better to have your own SEO copywriter working for you.

Then, you can use the keyword research for your other online copy and marketing materials. And more important, your copywriter can track the process and let you know which keywords are working and which aren’t. This allows you to make quick changes to your copy for the best results.

And although hiring a freelancer may be expensive, you get what you pay for. In the long run, you’ll save time, effort and money. Plus, the results will generate new sales that surpass the cost of hiring a professional.

Bing, SEO, and Google (SEO) Tips and Info

2009-07-06T06:12:00.000-07:00

Bing is doing its best to differentiate itself from Google. Attempting to claim some high ground, Microsoft is positioning Bing as the world’s first “decision engine” as opposed to its predecessors, the search engines. Differentiation requires using different algorithms and a new design on the search engine results page. New design or not the SERP’s on Bing do resemble Google’s at first glance.

Depending on the search, Bing delivers either highly relevant results or something a little less so. Searches in Microsoft’s wheelhouse of health, local, travel, and shopping are better than most others on Bing. The wheelhouse group was not arrived at by accident. These markets carry high potential for advertising revenues and have historically been among the highest revenue generators on the internet.

Bing isn’t going as far as saying that it will change search engine optimization, yet. In early June, a whitepaper released by Bing’s Webmaster Center Team stated “Ultimately, SEO is still SEO. Bing doesn’t change that. Bing’s new user interface design simply adds new opportunities to searchers to find what the information they want more quickly and easily, and that benefits webmasters who have taken the time to work on the quality of their content and website design.”

The Bing Team emphasizes that good content and search engine optimization are crucial elements in website design so it appears that what applies to Google and Yahoo will work with Bing. It also appears that attempts to optimize for Bing will bring similar results to the other search engines as well. The Bing team hasn’t given much other information beyond emphasizing on page content and standard SEO practices and maybe that what’s important at the moment. Based on PowerSet, Bing will definitely give more weight to content, at the expense of visuals.

Still in its infancy, Bing will need to broaden its wheelhouse to avoid turning off searchers that come over for a try, find a bunch of irrelevant results and never return. Initial traffic numbers were conflicted but it appeared that Bing had attracted some significant numbers, whether at the expense of Google and Yahoo, or not. The rest remains to be seen.

SEO Guidelines for Blogs

2009-07-05T13:19:00.000-07:00

here never seems to be a lack of opinions as to what the search engines are looking for when it comes to Keywords good seo technique, but at least one of the things that seems to have a consensus for now is on keyword density. And that general agreement is that the old rules are out in that one keyword or keyword phrase every one hundred words of text doesn’t cut it anymore with Google.
Better Ways To Use Keywords

Still that doesn’t mean that you want to throw the whole concept of keyword density out, but there are better ways to use the ones that you’ve got or will get. Remember that researching these words and phrases can be time consuming but at least they get you pointed in the right direction, so this seems to be a necessary way to go.

The technique that the motivated blogger might want to try is getting one keyword polished through research and then plugging it into a Google search. When you scroll down to the bottom of the first page of results you’ll find alternate phrases that will give you some seo friendly keywords on the same subject.
Subheaders With SEO Push

Once you’ve got a few of those phrases, you can use them in an H4 subheader that will give you some seo clout. Now there is some debate about how much oomph you’ll get from this method with some experts swearing by it and others saying that its benefits aren’t all that clear, but either way you’ll be better off trying this system than just bolding the subheaders that you use.

And there are a few things that you should know about the anchor text that you decide on. What it all comes down to in the end is being specific with the wording here. Try to think of the words that you’re going to use by looking first toward the keywords that you have at your disposal. Remember that it’s a lot better to use one of the keywords that is specific to your target audience that just adopting a link that uses a phrase like ‘click here’ when you’re looking to increase your page ranking.

Finally remember that you need to pay close attention to you title tags as well. If you’ve got a blog that has more than one page, you’ll need a good title tag for each one. The words that you feel are the most important should be right at the front as well.

How do you optimize tweets with hash tags?

2009-06-25T11:31:00.000-07:00

Always keep in mind what purpose the hash tag is serving. Generally hash tags will only provide value if it is, or has the opportunity to be a trending topic.

I would define a trending topic as something that people will naturally want to talk about, but more importantly, it has to be something that people will want to read about, in real-time. Breaking news stories will always work well for this, because it has every component needed to be a trending topic. Another great example is a question that everyone has the desire to answer. There has to be a motivating factor behind your hash tag that will make the reader wish to re-tweet or respond.

e.g.

1. Your best drunk text message… #DrunkText
2. Breaking up in less than three words… #3BreakupWords
3. I wish I was a… #WishfulThinking
4. What is your favorite drink? #FavDrink

As you can see, most of those have a motivating factor and have the potential to become a trending topic because they evoke a sense of urgency in the response. It is a challenge to the reader. It is a private invitation to them specifically.

Everyone likes to talk about themselves, so a trending topic is often related to that.

I often see hash tags such as “#seo”, “#green”, “#eco-friendly”, and “#twitterbook”. What people don’t realize is that these are a waste of space unless timed perfectly.

What is Google’s interpretation of a fresh page or content ?

2009-06-23T17:45:00.000-07:00

We know that to Google, fresh or new content is what it sees first. If there are two websites that has the same content, Google perceives original content as the first one it saw or spidered. This is one of the reasons why scraped content doesn’t always win on the SERPs.

It could also be a reason why “unknown” or less popular content pages tends to be scraped more. Scrapers manage to “steal” content from the lesser known or lesser search engine friendly pages and displays them first to Google and Google may think its the original content.

But scraping can’t win for long, if the “lesser known” or less search engine friendly pages are great in content, Google would ultimately come to know about it through other sources, say a good link from a reputed site.

So as far as Google is concerned, fresh content always means first content. Or content that it sees first. And this is the importance of why your new website should be indexed on Google first before you even go ahead and start pumping your content to it.

So, how does Google detect fresh content ?

- From other links pointing to the site.

- From pings.

- From sitemaps.

- From repeated crawling.

So a great way to make those Google bots crawl your site frequently will be to write new content more often, and in a steady cycle, say daily.

Here is a video from Matt Cutts where he says that adding dates to the URL is not necessarily telling Google that the content is fresh. And we webmasters don’t really need to do it, rather focus on the content updation, although adding dates on the webpage/URL is a nice usability tip !

Good Seo Sitemaps

2009-06-21T06:18:00.000-07:00

For may web pages a SEO sitemap can useful to improve indeaxtion in search engines and with it performance. SEO stands for “Search Engine Optimization”, the process that aims to create or revise Internet sites so that it can be better found by search engines. The objective of SEO campaigns is to have websites appear in the top listing or first results page of search engines.

Internet search engines, such as Google and A9, maintain a very large database of Web pages and available files. To do this, they devise a program called a web crawler, or spider. This software automatically and continuously surfs and hunts content in the Web. Pages that the spider finds are retrieved and indexed according to text content, giving more weight to titles and paragraph headers. Spiders never stop navigating the web from page to page, to index the relevant content of the Internet. Besides looking at the text of titles and headers, some programs are able to identify default tags and keep a library of these page keywords or key phrases in the index.

When a user connects to the Internet types a query, which is automatically interpreted as keywords, the search engine scans the saved index and creates a list of web pages that is most appropriate to what the user is searching for.

SEO will use all the combined techniques of keyword analysis, smart code, good content literature, link popularity study and website organization to place the subject web page as high as possible in the list of search results in search engines. Web pages displayed on the top of results pages are assumed to get the most attention, and therefore, opportunity for earnings for web businesses and pages with sponsor links.

Search engines usually return a list of results ranking pages according to the number of Internet sites linked to them. Results can be classified as organic, or sponsored links. Sponsored links are shown prominently because their creators or agents paid the search engine. Sponsored links are the main source of income of search engines. “Organic” search results are the lists of actual results from the engines index and are directly related to the keyword typed in the request.

One of the more effective techniques of SEO is the creation of a well-organized site map in a website. Since the site’s main page and other content are directly linked to a site map, spiders can more easily move through the website, identify the key words of the content, and index these for a search engine. This is where the SEO sitemap helps the website creator or administrator.

Site maps are usually pages filled with links. These are shown as tables or lists, although lists are generally more effective. Writing code for SEO sitemaps is very easy and simple to format and maintain. These are ideally basic HTML pages with default tags, logical titles and keywords scattered in the Meta description. Introduction areas can contain more of the keywords. The site should have a main heading for every directory.

A simple list layout helps reduce unnecessary tags that might “hide” your keywords. Some spiders give more weight to the following, than text in the normal body of the webpage: heading text, content within link elements, text nearer the top of the page and the text written for a link. Therefore, writing the keywords and links in these areas could somehow move up the web page’s ranking. This goes for SEO sitemaps as well.

Web sites should be designed consistently, so navigation models should follow the flow of the site map. Therefore, the first section in the site map should be the first link in the navigation bar.

In an SEO Sitemap, and most pages, the headings contain title attributes where more key phrases in the site map can be added. Keywords are generally well chosen and written in the body of a webpage. However, in an SEO site map with little text, key words should be added as much as possible. As much as possible, web links should follow web page titles, and must undergo SEO during coding. Care must be exercised not to cram the page with keywords and links, or the page will be interpreted as blatant spamming and not receive any traffic at all.

There is no way to guarantee that a website will be shown in the topmost ranking of “organic″ search results for an extended period of time. However, smart and responsible SEO sitemap techniques can be used to place the website high up in the search position. Regular monitoring and adjustment of the SEO Sitemap and search results would ensure that a website is kept near the top ranking and receiving lots of web user traffic.

How To Get of .Edu – .Gov Juicy Links from Authority Sites

2009-06-15T05:05:00.000-07:00

Effective Link Building Moments

One of the most important methods of getting a high keyword ranking is by getting inbound links. Almost all search engines rank their results on the basis of the popularity of the website. It believes that it is not the number that is important but the quality that is important. So have good quality inbound links to increase your chances of getting noticed by the search engines. There are search engine companies also available which can help you in building your links and promote your website faster. After this introduction to link building, let us now look into some uses of increased linkage.

Link Popularity is a vote that is given to a web page from another similar theme website with an anchor text (your keyword or phrase) to drive traffic to your website, it is also an important factor when search engines like Google Rank websites for a particular keyword and allot PR (Page Rank) to a website

Good Link Building Strategy

1. Get Relevant back links from High PR Authority Sites

2. Links must be Relevant Juicy Links

3. Don’t try harmful Link building Methods

4. Submit 100% Unique Contents to Relevant Press Release, article, and do follow Blogs

5. Start Content publishing to Web 2.0 Networks – Makes you more visible on the search engines

Get .Edu and .Gov Links for your Website

When search engines are crawling, they’re not only collecting information, they’re noting which sites they collect it from. And they place a value on the links that point to your site, referring to the value as a vote. That’s how they determine the content of your site. The link words are how they rate your importance and relevance. Links from some sites are rated higher than others. For instance, .gov links or .edu links are considered trusted sites and are more valuable, and thus will get bigger votes. Page Rank sites will also get bigger votes. Basically, the stronger the site, the stronger the vote will be for an equal link from that site.

Formula for .Edu Back links Search

Go to Google Search box and put this in the search box.

site:.edu inurl:blog

site:.edu inurl:wiki

site:.edu inurl:wiki “joomla”

site:.edu inurl:wiki “vbulletin”

site:.edu inurl:wiki “vbulletin”

site:.edu inurl:blog “post a comment”

Formula for .Gov Back links Search

Go to Google Search box and put this in the search box.

site:.gov inurl:blog

site:. gov inurl:wiki

site:. gov inurl:wiki “joomla”

site:. gov inurl:wiki “vbulletin”

site:. gov inurl:wiki “vbulletin”

site:. gov inurl:blog “post a comment”

It’s possible that the one or two lone SEOs that deny this value are confused. As long as we keep seeing great results, as long as our clients are rising up swiftly in search, as long as the links are in quality content, we will continue to sing the praises of a .gov or .edu link.

Google Adword for Newbies FAQ

2009-06-11T15:31:00.001-07:00

Since 2000, Google has been seen as the leader in the search engine industry by now. Many of Googles competitors are trying their hands at different advertising models as a way to generate revenue. Google currently seeing the most growth of them all saw the potential it had as an advertising medium and therefore was sure to follow suite sooner or later.

It did so with the launch of a keyword-targeted advertising program aimed more towards bigger companies. However it was not until later in the year when Google launched the Google Adwords program that they became a mainstream player available to even the smallest of businesses.

The original Adwords program worked well enough, however it worked on the basis of payment by impressions which didn’t guarantee the advertiser a single click so in February 2002 it received a major overhaul with the introduction of the Google Adwords Select program (nowadays it’s usually just known as Google Adwords as the original program has been discontinued).

What is Google Adwords?

Adwords is Googles version of the pay-per-click advertising model. It allows you to display ads which link directly to your website when searches are done for your chosen keywords or keyphrases. These ads are located to the right of the results which Google gives you for a search and they’re also displayed on Googles many partner sites which include AOL, Earthlink, HowStuffWorks and blogger. Recently with the launch of Googles Adsense program your ads could also be displayed on websites related to your keywords.

When you create a Google Adwords ad, you choose keywords for which your ad will appear and specify the maximum amount you’re willing to pay for each click. Remember Googles Adwords program uses a PPC model so you only pay when someone actually clicks on your ad and hence visits your website.

Adwords enables you to save money as its program Discounter automatically reduces the actual cost per click you pay to the lowest cost needed ($0.01 above competition) to maintain your ads position on the results page.

Google is competing well in this arena, in fact they now dominate the market, pulling more advertisers and revenue than former industry leader Overture.com does. I don’t know how long this will last though as Yahoo INC! has just bought Overture. What hasYahoo got up its sleeve?

How To Add Custom Search To your Site

2009-06-10T15:27:00.000-07:00

By the way, you might have missed it at Google I/O, but the Custom Search Engine team has made it really easy to add custom search to any site. Google recently introduced Web Elements, which are simple snippets of code you can copy/paste into your site’s HTML.

From the Custom Search Element web page, I copied the code. Then in the WordPress control panel under Appearance->Widgets, I clicked to add a new “Text” widget, changed the title to “Search (CSE)” and pasted the code into the box:

Click “Done” and then “Save Changes” and that’s it! No need to register, sign up for anything, get a user ID, or anything like that. You can see the result on the right-hand sidebar of my blog.

Black Hat SEO Vs White Hat SEO

2009-06-07T19:12:00.000-07:00

Some call it a question of ethics; others just call it business. The discussion is raging online and in marketing conferences
around the world, but what exactly are black hat SEO and white hat SEO, anyway?

White hat SEO is the angelic version of optimization, that is, it employs only techniques as recommended – or at least, not barred – by search engines and their ever-changing guidelines. Typically, results in the form of more traffic and higher profits take anywhere from three months to a year. With this type of SEO, there is no fear of your site being banned by search engines.

Black hat SEO, on the other hand, is the impatient fraternal twin of white hat SEO. It utilizes techniques specifically banned by search engines like hidden text and hidden links. Some call this spam. Others call it business savvy. Whatever you call it, if the search engine gurus figure out your game then the gig is up and you’re blackballed. That means that you could type the name of your company and your name and business address into the search box and your site still won’t come up.

It basically breaks down like this: White hat SEO focuses on marketing and the text on a site, updating with keyword rich, informative articles that benefit their clients and build a solid following over time. Black hat SEO focuses on technology and IT tricks to get a ton of traffic right away.

The important thing to consider is what your goal is. Do you want high traffic or do you want high sales? With black hat SEO, you may get immediate results as far as visitors to your site but do these visitors want to buy what you have to offer? If not, who cares if they end up on your site? White hat SEO is more interested in targeted traffic, attracting the kind of visitors to your site who are actually looking for you and are ready to buy your products or services. Over time, your traffic and sales rise together as you build up a following through word of mouth and repeat customers.

So what’s all the fuss about? Mostly, the rules. White hat SEO follows them meticulously. Black hat SEO follows the numbers instead. Those who take the time to research and follow the rules are irritated by those who achieve high search engine rankings
without taking the same pains. However, black hat SEO proponents point out that search engine requests are hardly laws and therefore doing what they like is far from illegal. It’s in this discussion that the white hat and black hat merge to become a grey hat.

In fact, white hat fanatics might charge that those who write articles specifically to utilize keyword repetition are manipulating the system and are dabbling in black hat SEO. The less fanatical may point to links as a grey area. Search engines don’t want links on a site purely to drive traffic. However, if links are related to the content on the site, then that’s okay. But what about those sites where there are paid links that have nothing whatsoever to do with the content of the site they grace? Paid links as advertisements are white hat. Paid links purely for driving traffic, black hat. True motivation of the webmaster? Grey hat.

When it comes down to it, everyone who utilizes search engines in hopes of gaining top rankings are going to use optimization in order to climb to the top of those rankings. If motivation is the only concern, then it is an issue of politics that need not take up your time. Just know that if you use technology, link farms, and other banned resources that are designed purely to drive traffic and you get caught, you will be blacklisted from the search engine. If it’s worth the risk to you, then do what you have to do. The choice is yours.

Top Google Ranking Factors

2009-06-05T11:51:00.000-07:00

Many different factors influence your web site’s ranking among Google search results. Here are some of the top factors you should take into consideration, in no particular order:

- Inbound Links: Google is more likely to give your site a top ranking if other relevant web sites link to it, especially if they are well-known sites.

- META Tags: Description and title tags are also among the top factors to consider; they ought to be optimized with search keywords and appropriate text lengths. Be sure not to use the same tags on different pages.

- Spider Accessibility: Your site’s pages must be accessible to Google’s automated “spider” (or “robot”) system so that it can index them. Adding a “Site Map” will help make this possible.

- Creation Date: New sites generally receive low ranking levels in Google results for several months, while they are in the “Supplemental Index”. New pages are also at a disadvantage.

- Keywords: Web pages rank better when the search keywords being targeted are used repeatedly (but not too much) in the text, esp. if they coincide with the title and file name.

- Outbound Links: Linking to the wrong kinds of web sites (like bad neighborhoods) or exchanging links with unrelated web sites may harm your Google search ranking, especially if you do this more than once.

- File/Domain Names: Google also factors in the relevance of words within your web site’s URL, which includes its file, top level domain, subdirectory, and subdomain names.

- Outdated Links: It is best to avoid leaving links on your site that lead to URLs which no longer exist (this occurs when the linked pages have disappeared or changed their URLs).

These are some of the top factors which affect your site’s ranking on Google. Others also play a role, like image ALT text, time between updates, and the wording of inbound links.

IIs Your Web Site SEO and Social Media Friendly?,

2009-06-04T21:14:00.000-07:00

In this economy, few companies feel comfortable spending big buck promoting their Web sites. The alternative is to do everything you can in the areas of seach engine optimization and social networking -- and Lee Odden over at the Online Marketing Blog has some great tips.

Odden's post, called Is Your Web Site SEO and Social Media Friendly?, points out that "People discover new sites through search, but also through recommendations made via email, word of mouth and through social media content" in sites like Twitter and Facebook. Just as important, Odden says, "links that occur as an outcome of social media participation can provide positive signals to search engines and affect search visibility."

First comes search, and the key is to make your "Web site easy for search engines to find, make a copy of, understand and rank in search results." Odden lays out 6 key considerations:

Crawlable content

Site organization

Internal links

Keyword usage - content optimization

Code/HTML optimization

Inbound links from external web sites

For Social Media Optimization (SMO)-- a term I just made up -- Odden has three key points:

Fresh content

Social content

Easy to share

SEO and SMO may not make your site super popular, but it can only help. And In Today's Econony (ITE, and I didn't make up that one), it's good to know that it takes mental attention and old-fashioned elbow grease, not massive applications of cash, to make it work.

Bing launches

2009-06-04T20:59:00.000-07:00

Microsoft Bing launched today publicly, and color me impressed. I was always a fan of portions of Live Search, but the improvement they’ve made across the board with Bing is impressive. It’s nowhere near a Google knock-out punch, but it has marked improvement in key areas, that it’s going to be hard for people to ignore how well Bing performs. Perhaps John Battelle’s 2009 prediction of “at least a five point gain in [Microsoft] search share” will come true after all?

A Long Term Strategy For Your Internet Business

2009-06-02T17:59:00.000-07:00

The internet is perhaps the largest market place ever. Thousands if not millions of potential customers for your business are on the internet. The internet also presents a unique challenge for your business. The easy access provided by the internet gives any internet business as much competition as you can imagine.

SEO means Search Engine Optimization. Some studies indicate that up to 80% of internet users resort to Google to find information about any topic they're interested in. Search engine optimization is the process taken to ensure that internet users will find your website when ranked among the top results of a search.

To get your website search engine optimized focus on these basics:

1. Keyword research - ensure your keywords are relevant to your product or service. Determine which keywords attract maximum traffic and which generate maximum results. Also keep an eye on the density of the keywords in your copy. Optimal keyword density for search engine optimization is between 1% - 3% for each keyword/key phrase that appears in your copy.
2. On-page factors - your most important keyword is part of your domain name, and also appears in your title tag. Use Flash only for banners and buttons. Keep internal navigation simple. Do not use frames. Do not use hidden text or links.
3. Off-page factors - back links are very useful and help get you higher rankings in the search engines. Try and get back links from high page rank sites (Google Page Rank of 6 or better, Alexa rank of 100,000 or less). Submitting articles to article directories, blogs, and forums are the best ways of getting quality backlinks. Reciprocal links are not as useful for search engine optimization as they once were, and sometimes excessive reciprocal linking can even get you penalized by the search engines.
4. Content - is important for SEO especially unique content. It makes a huge difference if your content is not just rewritten content from other websites. Also update your website with fresh content on a regular basis for search engine optimization.

While with SEO you don't pay for clicks but you do need to do research to get the combination of ads and target audience that will make your internet business succeed. Search engine optimization is a long term process requiring many months. Once accomplished your internet business will be rewarded with a steady stream of profit.

In my next article we'll look at the role Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising plays in your overall internet marketing strategy

Avoiding Getting Your Google Adsense Account Terminated

2009-06-02T15:13:00.001-07:00

Google, being the undisputable leader in search engines from then until now, is placing a high importance on the quality and relevancy of its search engines. Most especially now that the company is public property. In order to keep the shareholders and users of its engines happy, the quality of the returned results are given extreme importance.

For this same reason, doing the wrong things in the Adsense and other forms of advertisements, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will result in a severe penalty, may get you banned and even have your account terminated. Nothing like a good action taken to keep wrongdoers from doing the same things over again.

So for those who are thinking of getting a career in Adsense, do not just think of the strategies you will be using to generate more earnings. Consider some things first before you actually get involved.

Hidden texts. Filling your advertisement page with texts to small to read, has the same color as the background and using css for the sole purpose of loading them with rich keywords content and copy will earn you a penalty award that is given to those who are hiding links.

Page cloaking. There is a common practice of using browser or bot sniffers to serve the bots of a different page other than the page your visitors will see. Loading a page with a bot that a human user will never see is a definite no-no. This is tricking them to click on something that you want but they may not want to go to.

Multiple submissions. Submitting multiple copies of your domain and pages is another thing to stay away from. For example, trying to submit a URL of an Adsense as two separate URLs is the same as inviting trouble and even termination. Likewise, this is a reason to avoid auto submitters for those who are receiving submissions. Better check first if your domain is submitted already an a certain search engine before you try to submit to it again. If you see it there, then move on. No point contemplating whether to try and submit there again.

Link farms. Be wary of who and what are you linking your Adsense to. The search engines know that you cannot control your links in. But you can certainly control what you link to. Link farming has always been a rotten apple in the eyes of search engines, especially Google. That is reason enough to try and avoid them. Having a link higher than 100 on a single page will classify you as a link farm so try and not to make them higher than that.

Page rank for sale. If you have been online for quite some time, you will notice that there are some sites selling their PR links or trading them with other sites. If you are doing this, expect a ban anytime in the future. It is okay to sell ads or gain the link. But doing it on direct advertisement of your page rank is a way to get on search engines bad side.

Doorways. This is similar to cloaking pages. The common practice of a page loaded with choice keyword ads aimed at redirecting visitors to another user-friendly page is a big issue among search engines. There are many seo firms offering this kind of services. Now that you know what they actually are, try to avoid them at all costs.

Multiple domains having the same content. In case you are not aware of it, search engines look at domains IPs, registry dates and many others. Having multiple domains having the same exact content is not something you can hide from them. The same goes with content multiplied many times on separate pages, sub domains and forwarding multiple domains to the same content.

Many of the above techniques apply to most search engines and is not entirely for Google only. By having a mind set that you are building your Adsense together with your pages for the human users and not for bots, you can be assured of the great things for your ads and sites.

Not to mention avoiding the wrath of the search engines and getting your Adsense and site account terminated altogether.

Choose a SEO-friendly domain name

2009-05-31T15:48:00.000-07:00

Today’s post is dedicated to providing some tips on how to choose a SEO friendly domain name for your online project. To start with, nowadays, Search Engine optimization’s role has grown so much that it will not be exaggerating to say that ignoring it would be a crime. Knowing there are thousands of websites in the Internet “seeking” visitors’ attention, you must do something to come to the front row and be noticed. You do not want your website to be left alone in cyberspace hardly ever visited by someone that could be a potential customer, right? Moreover, you can’t just rely on random visits, you need to do something about it. We suggest starting your online project with choosing a SEO friendly domain name and here are some guidelines on that matter.

When starting an online project, especially a business oriented one, there are many aspects of site optimization that have to be considered. Choosing and buying a keyword-rich domain will not make or break your PageRank but it may indirectly increase your visitors as Google will see links that use your domain name. So why not get a domain name that not only reaches your audience but lands you a little higher in search results. It is known that Google tends to give weight to keywords in the domain name. That is why you must find out and use the right keyword or keyword combination that best describes your business/website. Let’s say that you wish to create a web design studio site. First thing will be to check for keywords describing that business. Write down key words and phrases that you think your potential clients can associate you with when Googling. Now you want to make sure that the keywords you are optimizing for are a part of the search terms that people actually use when trying to find your product/service on the web. We suggest using the Google’s Search Volume tool - it helps you find out how often those keywords are in fact used in searches.

For example you can check the related key words for “webdesign” here.

Using the Google’s Search Volume tool you can try out different words or phrases connected with your business in order to find out which are the preferred ones - the ones with the highest estimated search volume. What is best is that you can add search criteria by regions, too. If you are an American and wish to focus on the USA market, you can check out the level of interest towards the compared keywords in all states or you can choose only a number of states. So, on the one hand, you have the Totals that shows the result in a graph so that you can clearly see which word is most preferred by users in searches. On the other hand you have Regional Interest - you can check out the interest towards the chosen word by regions. You also have Top Searches where more keywords combinations are offered, again they are listed according to their search strength. And last but not least, you have Rising Searches: you get keyword suggestions for your market and their estimated search volume. Be advised that you do not need to sign up in order to use this tool.

Play some time with the Google’s Search Volume tool and we are sure you will enjoy choosing a successful domain name for your online project. This way you will guarantee yourself a well-established presence on the Web and you will know that your domain name works for your SEO.

You can also check the following online video presentation on Google’s Search Volume tool:

YouTube Direkt

Here are some more guidelines on choosing a SEO catchy domain name:

Avoid choosing hyphenated and multi-term domains like get-best-hosting-now.com (I just made this one up). Such domains have limited SEO value and lack credibility. So if you are planning to do serious business, we will recommend you to not name your website this way.

It is important that you opt for a .COM name whenever possible. There are two main reasons for that: users tend to think in terms of .com, and any other extension will be hard for them to remember; .com names tend to receive higher rankings in Search engines than websites using other extensions.

Seo For Blogger :Straight from Google by Matt Cutts

2009-05-31T15:43:00.000-07:00

I want to share some SEO tips by Matt Cutts who is the head of Google’s Webspam team.He just gave a talk at WordCamp San Francisco 2009 about SEO, Page Rank, Keywords.

The presentation is really useful. I am going to share some parts of the presentation in detail.

On first few slides, some pictures of Matt’s cat are shown and then pagerank philosophy is discussed which I don’t like and I don’t want to know about it… oh not about cat but about pagerank.

Here is the video link.

The slide which I liked most is:

SEO tips: keywords

Think about the keywords that users will type. Include them naturally in your posts

“usb drive”

“thumb drive”

“flash drive”

“pen drive”

ALT attribute are handy (3-4 relevant words)

Don’t forget image search, videos, etc.

From this slide, I have extracted two many things:

1. Thinking the keywords that users will type to search. Yes, don’t think like machine, think like human being. Just imagine that you want to search something about which you are going to write, so how will you do that and what words will you use to search? Include those words in your post. Like I am writing this post about SEO, so I will try to include some words like “blogging SEO, how to boost the traffic, how to optimize the blog etc”

2. Include the words naturally. It is very important. Don’t fill up your whole post with the keywords. Use systemically and naturally as if you are talking with someone.

3. Image and video optimization is also very important. How to do that? Read this beautiful and award winning article about wordpress SEO from yoast.com

Another slide with SEO tips is:

SEO tips: keywords

Use categories that are also good keywords

Keywords in url paths: example.com/my-keywords

Dashes are best

Next best is underscores

No spaces is worst

Someone should ask me: what if I’ve already done my site? Should I change things?

1. Categories are also keywords. Wow…. I never paid attention to it. Now I will select the categories with great care.

2. The other important thing in this slide is URL paths. Read the above mentioned article from yoast.com and you will learn how to make good and optimized urls.

So this is all which I extrated from these slides but of course you can learn a lot more from them.

Why to pay for SEO when you can do it yourself?? Isn’t it simple??

Google Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide Summary

2009-05-29T08:49:00.000-07:00

When developing a new site, new page or editing an existing site or page, the following Search Engine Optimization considerations need to be taken into account. This is a summary of Google’s SEO Starter Guide, which you should also read.

Page Titles

Every page should have unique, accurate page titles

If page was pre-existing, the page title should stay exactly as it was before

Title should reflect page’s targeted keyphrase

Description Meta Tags

Ensure you prevent search engines from displaying Open Directory Project descriptions

Descriptions should be accurate, unique, descriptive of page content and should reflect page’s targeted keyphrase

Descriptions will be displayed in search results and should entice a searcher to click

Use tags if applicable, such as Brand:, Size:, Price:, etc.

URL’s

Always maintain exact existing URL structure when working on a site or page. If URL structure must change, a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new URL is absolutely necessary

When creating new URL’s, use descriptive categories and filenames

Use only words in URL’s, avoid parameters, search strings or session ID’s

Never use generic page names such as page1.html

Do not keyword stuff URL’s

Create simple, but descriptive directory structure

Provide only one version of a URL to reach a document

Always use only www version of a URL to link, such as http://www.domain.com

Never use capitalization in URL’s

Navigation (for search bots)

Create logically organized “silo’s” of information

Create an organized html sitemap

Create an XML sitemap

Use mostly text for navigation

Use breadcrumb navigation

If part of a URL is removed, the link should always work

Have a useful 404 page

Content

Write easy to read text

Do not embed text in an image or flash

Avoid grammatical and spelling errors

Stay on topic

Use relevant language and work keyword variations into a page

Avoid keyword stuffing

Create fresh, unique content

Anchor Text

Chose short but descriptive anchor text, don’t link entire sentences

Do not use generic anchor text like “click here”

Do not link to a page with its URL as the anchor text

Do not use CSS that makes links look like regular text

Do not keyword stuff links

Do not overlink

Heading Tags

Use H tags to reflect the main topic and sub-topic(s), or keyphrases, of a page

Use H tags to define the structure of a page

Do not use H tags instead of <em> or <strong> tags.

Use H tags sparingly

Images

Use descriptive alt tags

Use descriptive filenames

Alt tags and filenames should complement one another

Avoid long filenames

Avoid generic filenames like “logo.jpg” or “header.jpg”

Avoid keyword stuffing alt tags or filenames

Store images in their own directory

Robots.txt

Always ensure there is a robots.txt file at the root level of your site and one at each sub-domain of your site

Use the robots.txt to point to your sitemap.xml

Use robots.txt to block search results pages

Nofollow

“Nofollowing” a link is adding rel=”nofollow” inside the links anchor tag and tells Google not to pass your reputation on to the page being linked to

Nofollow is a controversial subject, but when used for search reasons, nofollow should be used anytime you are linking to an insignificant area of your site such as a contact form. It’s been suggested (not by Google) that nofollow should also be used when linking to documents such as .pdf files. Nofollow should also be used when linking to any outside website that you don’t benefit from passing reputation on to

Promotion (link building)

Effectively promoting your site will either directly or indirectly build incoming links to your site. These incoming links will help your site be discovered more quickly by search engines, and depending on the search engine and whether or not there was a nofollow tag on the incoming link, will help increase your site’s page rank.

Blog about new content or services

Blog about anything, really…Just blog with targeted keyphrases as your topics

Use social media to promote your site and your blog posts

Add your site to Google Local Business Center

Develop incoming links from related websites

Do NOT EVER purchase links

Google Webmaster Tools

Use Google Webmaster Tools effectively

Upload your sitemap.xml

Analyze or generate your robots.txt file

Specify the preferred domain

Identify issues with title or meta tags

Receive notification of quality guideline violations

File for a site reconsideration

Google Analytics

Use analytics to measure impact of search engine optimization

Use analytics to ensure your SEO is targeting keyphrases that CONVERT, not just ones that generate traffic

Google

Use the following Google resources

Google Webmaster Help Group

Google Webmaster Central Blog

Google Webmaster Help Center

Google Webmaster Tools

Google Webmaster Guidelines

Google Analytics

Increase Your Organics traffics By Using Dynamic Url

2009-05-22T11:56:00.000-07:00

If your site is one of them, good for you. Read on and you might find some reassuring data to back up your excellent decision. If you are not familiar with how URL rewriting will improve organic search ranking and traffic to your site, I don't blame you.

Google Changes the Future of SEO

2009-05-15T22:58:00.000-07:00

The imminent death of the heart was the hot topic among professionals in a while. Some worry about his career, because they threatened the search engine to constantly improve their technology. Search engines are now fully adapted their strategy against Spammers assessing and improving user experience. For example, Google's intention to improve the efficiency of research and provides relevant search results. So what all this means for the future of heart? Sinus died an inevitable consequence of the evolution of search engines?

People have predicted the end of the breast from the beginning. While things are always changing in front of and smarter search engines, SEO will adapt to these changes, because the last. Although the list of search engines web site does not require sites to pay compensation, there before.

Google and what they mean for the future of the chest

Looking for solutions to combat spam and improve the user experience, Google is preparing for the implementation of a number of changes in behavior and intentions of the research. Any person who conducts a search for a specific period for the different results, depending on your location and search history. As a result of these changes, search engine optimization service is only targeted keywords to focus more on increasing traffic and conversion. One possibility is to build the connection will become much less important for the future and the sinuses, because Google will set a value based on one site that visitors to communicate with him. The ultimate goal is to create content sites that encourage visitors to read, share, tag, and so on.

Social levels through voting is another feature that search engines are adapted to ensure the town controlled by the user. Search engine users can have the opportunity to vote for websites and web pages you want to be classified on the basis of this vote. Model is similar to that observed in the social voting site Digg reddit a. Clearly, the search engine will find a way to ensure that votes are natural to avoid the use of black hat SEO fault robots in search engines.

Google and other search engines are all inside the bar. In the beginning, it will be difficult to do for professionals in their work, but the end result is positive. Spammers and black hat SEO is less likely to succeed in their efforts and unscrupulous search engines, users have with the content that is relevant.

People, not machines

As always, the goal for webmasters and professionals must appeal to the population. People spend so much time trying to bug the search engines you have forgotten that, ultimately, serve the people! Your website must be optimized, but the priority should be to meet the needs and find solutions. With respect to the direction in which the behavior and human activity ultimately determine classification. As part of their success depends on its ability to engage people through media and social marketing.

Fast Way To Get Index In MSN

2009-05-13T09:33:00.000-07:00

If you know anything about search engines, then you know that Google is, by far, the King, Yahoo is the queen (with a little q), and MSN is like the retarded 2nd cousin or something.

When it comes to getting a site indexed, you can accomplish that very quickly in Google, Yahoo is slower, and MSN is oftentimes the slowest, from my experience. MSN will eventually find your site if you are doing any kind of regular SEO or link building.

If you are looking to get indexed in MSN, quickly, then I found a few ways that seems to work, and I thought I'd share it with members of this forum. I've gained much knowledge reading the threads here, so it's my time to give a little.

3 Ways to Get Indexed in MSN as quick as possible

1. Exchange links with another site, indexed in MSN, that is PR4 or above. MSN spiders will regularly be visiting a PR4 site, so you should get one to your site by doing this. But, this exchange of links is not always the easiest to accomplish. You can check to see if a site is indexed in any of the 3 search engines by typing "url:www.mysite.com" (no quotation marks) into their search bar.

2. Submit your site to MSN at http://search.msn.com.sg/docs/submit.aspx. I've heard that this page goes down from time to time, but it's worth a shot. Submit, and if it is still not indexed in a week, submit it again, but wait at least a week. You don't want to overdue and have that hurt your indexing.

3. This method appears to be the fastest. Go to MSN.com, click on "MyMSN" on the homepage. Sign up for a free account. You do not even have to sign up for a or have a hotmail address. You can use your already existing email address. Once you have your MSN account confirmed, go to http://my.msn.com. Locate the "favorites" section of the page, then click on "menu" of the "favorites" section. A drop menu will appear. Click "change details." At that point you can enter any URL you wish and pick the anchor text you desire. Now you have a link in MSN. Should get some spider activity, quickly.

That's it. Hope it helps.

6 ways To Building Links with Twitter

2009-05-05T06:58:00.000-07:00

* Build up a massive Twitter following. There are several online tools available to help you find people with interests like yours. Whichever ones you decide to use, keep in mind that the more followers you have the more likely you are to get people retweeting your blog posts and linking to you from their blogs.
* Tweet your blog posts. Kind of a no-brainer, right? How are you going to build links to a site if no one knows about it? Use a Tweet/Retweet plugin for WordPress if you have a WP blog. Also, use Twitter Tools or another similar plugin so that your blog posts are automatically Twittered when they post.
