SEO Shouldn’t Be a Retro-Fit Add-On, It’s Way More Important Than That!

Friday, May 1st, 2009
by Brent Sweet

I’ve just had a meeting with a potential client regarding their website. They launched into a list of things they wanted including, videos, animations, 360 degree images etc. What they hadn’t thought about was the whole purpose of the site. Who is was for, what it was for, who the stakeholders were and what success looks like.

Building a website is a time consuming and costly exercise. There are many component parts to a website, the look and feel being only one of them. The problem is many people only focus on the pretty pictures and Flash animations, only stopping to think about SEO once the site’s live. This is a recipe for disaster.

SEO starts before a single line of HTML is written or a single pixel has been added to an Illustrator canvas. SEO can be used to help you figure out some of the BIG questions you should be asking when developing a website.

SEO will help you better understand your market, SEO will ensure you understand what your potential market is searching for, SEO will help you understand the competition you are up against. In extreme cases SEO may even help you decide if your proposed enterprise is worth pursuing at all!

Leaving SEO until after your website is live is a big mistake and one that will ultimately cost you dearly. You will be left scrambling around desperately wondering why your site isn’t attracting customers and why Google and the other search engines are not listing your site when people search for what you offer.

Get SEO sorted from the get go and reap the benefits.

How to Pick Up Back Links

Friday, May 1st, 2009
by Brent Sweet

Back links are the back bone of an internet business. Then can literally make or break your internet business because the major search engines rank your website with regards to how many you have. All other things considered, the more you have, the higher your website will rank and the more free traffic you will receive.

There are many ways to pick up back links online, first let me explain what it is just to be clear. It is quite simply a link on someone elses website pointing back to your website. These can either be in url form; http:// yourwebsite ; or hyper linked with your keywords. A hyper link is just a clickable text with a hidden url code that will bring you to that url.

One way to pick them up is by contributing thoughts and opinions in relevant forums. To find a few forums in your specified niche, just do a quick search in Google. Then all you have to do is sign up and set up your signature file. Your signature will usually appear under your comments and this is where the link will be seen. For each post you make you will get one back link to your website.

Forums are a great way to pick up a bunch of back links and you should aim for at least 5 posts a day on a few different forums. After awhile they will really begin to add up. Whatever you do though, do not merely post only to get back links. Many times the moderators at these forums will ban you for spamming if you do not leave well thought out and meaningful posts.

Another great way to pick up back links that carry a lot of weight are through article marketing. Every time you write and distribute an article, the article directories will allow you to leave a link in your authors resource box. So the more unique articles you write, the more links you will get. Some search engines will not count them more than once from a duplicate article so it will do no good to submit one article to 30 article directories. Most likely you will only get credit for one back link.

Some other ways to pick up back links are by leaving comments on other peoples blogs, submitting press releases, submitting to online directories, link exchanges, and social bookmarking.

It is best to set up a daily goal. I usually shoot for 20 a day. Too much each day will not look natural to the search engines and too little you will get passed up by your competition. Consistency is what you are aiming for here. Try and get as many back links as you can through as many different mediums as possible over time.

Search Engine Optimization for Beginners

Thursday, April 30th, 2009
by Raam Anand

The Internet is the biggest place that you can go to buy or sell anything. There are always people looking to make a purchase so it makes sense that if you have a business you should strategize to market to them. There is an almost constant supply of people who are ready to buy what you have to offer. The trick is getting them to notice you.

Search engine optimization is a great way that you can generate additional customers to your online business. When people do an online search they use a search engine. There are literally thousands of websites for people to choose from when they get the results. You need to ensure that your website comes up in the top of the search engine results.

There is interesting studies done that prove that most visitors to websites don’t make a purchase on their first time vesting your site. You need to get as many people to your website as possible. You can do this by increasing your site on the search engine results by using search engine optimization. One key strategy to use to keep people returning to your site is to provide visitors with lots of free information that they can use.

The best method to use to get your website up in the rankings of search engines is to use search engine optimization. Search engines use special software called “Web crawlers” or spiders to locate information from websites throughout the Internet. The search engines locate Meta tags from website pages.

Meta tags are important because they indicate what your site is about while providing the terms that are used for searches. You’ll sometimes see Meta tag phrases appear on the search results as well as on the top of the site pages. Meta tags are made up of a couple of sentences or groups of words (keywords) that describe your site. Meta tags are typically less than 25 words and are used by the search engines to rate your site.

The term “keyword” is often heard when you talk about online marketing. Keywords are just the common words that are most often used to describe your business and the products or services you sell. There are several major search engines and many smaller ones and they all use keywords to help give them the ranking that they use to provide to users conducting searches online.

It is of utmost importance to properly choose your keywords. These words, if chosen properly, can actually help to drive business to your site. Do not take search engine optimization lightly. Keywords need to be specific. They can also be phrases rather than one single word. Try to narrow down your keywords so that you’ll get the best results from search engine optimization. For example a travel site may consider using keywords like “travel” or “vacation” yet the resutlst for these broad terms will be enormous. Instead, narrow your keywords down making them as specific as possible. In this case you could use “Bahama cruise” or other much more specific search terms.

Once you understand how search engine optimization works you’ll be better equipped to make decisions that will work for your site. Focus on the keywords that are used for your type of business and make a list of them. Then you will need to provide website copy and Meta tags that use the keywords that are the best representation of your company. Using search engine optimization properly will greatly improve your visibility in search engine results and thus will improve your site traffic and sales.

Top 5 Mistakes Made in Search Submission SEO

Thursday, April 30th, 2009
by Brent Sweet

Mistake #1 Not checking that their site is search engine friendly before submitting make sure that your pages all have:

appropriate and descriptive titles, good copy that is written for people and not search engines, made sure that all of the pages in the site can be accessed by the search engine, e.g. don’t use Flash or JavaScript as the only way to navigate between pages in the website

Mistake #2 Not having effective links from other websites before submitting

Search engines make significant use of links between websites to evaluate the quality of the content of the site. Obtaining links from other websites can be a time consuming process. It is recommended that you implement a system that involves these stages:

Locating relevant websites and assessing their suitability to obtain links to your site Write to the owners of these sites with an offer to exchange links. It is wise to have already added the link to their website first and draw their attention to this. Follow up in 14 days if you have not heard back from the site owner, and Drop their site from your links page if you have not heard back in 30 days

Mistake #3 Not having a system to monitor when search engines are updating their databases

If your site is larger than just a few pages, there is a good chance that your site will not have every page on it included in every search engine’s database. Additionally you should identify how frequently your site is being updated in the search engine. If you have added new content to your website or have changed the existing content, it can take a month or so for this to be reflected in the database of the search engines. Once your site has a higher credibility in the search engines this will occur more frequently.

Mistake #4 Not testing the keywords, copy and headlines of the web pages

All major search engines now offer some form of paid placement advertising. This is a useful tool to testing which keywords and advertising copy works best to attract sales. The key advantage of using paid placement advertising is that a large number of tests can be conducted in a relatively short period of time to determine the best combination of keywords, offer, headlines, copy, etc that suit your site.

Only after you have identified which particular keywords are suitable for optimizing pages on your site should you then start to fine tune your web pages to rank highly against these keywords. You should also test headlines in your advertisements and these headlines be added to the titles of your web pages.

Mistake #5 Not having a system to monitor and measure the effectiveness of their search engine listings and website

Search engine marketing is a continuous process that involves far more than simply obtaining high ranking positions. You need to constantly monitor how many people visit your website from search engines, what keywords they are using, how many of them convert into a sale or sales lead, etc. The secret to success is test, test, test and test again.

How To Choose The Best Performing Keyword Phrases

Thursday, April 30th, 2009
by Marc Marseille

The first step in starting a successful search engine marketing campaign is choosing the best performing keywords. In addition to keyword selection, the manner in a which a keyword is used and how often is also crucial.

In order to begin the keyword selection process, you must have access to a good keyword tool. The better keyword tools usually have a monthly membership fee, but if you are just starting out, you can use a free keyword tool.

Seo book has a free keyword tool that provides data on the popularity on several different keywords. Once you have achieved some success, you can upgrade to a keyword tool with more options.

Making the best use of your keyword phrases is important in getting noticed with the search engines. It is a must that you use you phrases in up to 7% of your website’s content.

While using your key phrases, it is important that your article does not sound repetitive. Different variations of your popular phrases will keep your content from being banned for keyword stuffing.

Variation in your popular keywords will make it easier for website visitors to read and understand your content. The search engine robots will also find it easier to identify the topic of your site as well as your keywords.

Anchored text plays a major role in getting your website to rank well in the search engines. Whenever you are linking back to your website from a backlink, it is crucial to your rankings that you utilize your keywords as an anchored text. This strategy will let the serps know that your keyword is relevant to your website’s topic.

The most important aspect of selecting a search engine friendly keyword is being able to validate the effectiveness of your keyword. I recommend comparing keyword results with more than one keyword tool because nothing will be more frustrating than wasting your marketing efforts on a non performing keyword phrase.

articles needs to be informational, forthright and entertaining to read

Thursday, April 30th, 2009
by Jason Glover

Dear Friend,

Keywords or phrases are great to help generate traffic to your website. However, this is way overused by many people because they use keywords to often to increase their ranking. So, due to this, there is such a thing as overusing keywords. Now search engines have created algorithms to see which websites hold the most relevance where keywords are concerned. Currently, it appears that the average article is at least 12% keyword rich and this is way too many keywords.

To aid in reducing this abuse, search engine webmasters have created algorithms to aid them in determining what sites are offering valuable content and which ones are not. Currently, keywords that have 12% of keywords used in it are being looked into.

There is a tracking method that aids in finding the web owners who are misusing keywords. If you have an article that is overly saturated with keywords, then it can be tracked. For instance if you have an article of 500 words and you have 20 keywords in it then you will be caught for keyword abuse.

The best method to write good SEO articles is to do justice to your articles. Make doubly sure that your SEO article contain relevant information as well as a substantial ratio of keyword included into the article. The keyword should be scattered. The best way to do this is to include at least two keywords or phrases when you begin the paragraph and also when you end the paragraph. In case, you have an article that has five hundred words, you need to focus on including at least one keyword or phrase for each paragraph in the body of the text.

Studies show that if you write about the product you are selling and what it can to do to help the person that buys it, will have a much better chance of keeping the readers attention. You will not keep the readers attention if you do not write informative content that can help the reader. It is key to your successful by writing SEO articles that actually will get read.

Also, it is important that the article flows naturally. You do not want to force keywords into the article and make it appear unnatural. Try putting the keywords twice in the first paragraph and once in each other paragraph. This is the best way to make your SEO efforts a success.

Many people use the services of a freelance writer to do the writing for them. Often times people may not have the time or the desire to write themselves and you can reasonably get a freelancer to write for you. Another reason to consider doing this is the writer will be certain the article is informative and has good grammar. They are doing this as a job and this can make a world of difference when it comes to writing articles.

To your success

Jason

P.S. However, to gain experience, consider writing your own first article prior to hiring help.

Backlinks – What They Are and How to Get Them

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009
by Brent Sweet

Sometimes called inbound links, backlinks are the lifeblood of Search Engine Positioning. In order for a website to be on the top of search engines like Google without the webmaster having to pay big money for advertising, the website has to have a large number of backlinks. Backlinks are links on one website that lead back to another website. The more established, high quality, and high Page Rank the website that contains the link has, the more power it has to help the linked website with its search engine position. If the website that is getting backlinks gets many High Quality and High Page Rank backlinks, the better the chance it has of being in a high position on the Search Engines.

How does a webmaster go about getting high quality backlinks to his or her website? There are many ways this can be done. Some people advocate writing and submitting articles, posting on forums, making comments on blogs. Others talk about submitting their website to various Internet directories. One directory that has an excellent reputation is called DMOZ, or the “Open Directory”. This directory is probably the most respected directory online today. The websites it contains have all been placed there by human editors; there is no “automation” to this directory. The only drawback that’s been discussed about this directory is that it takes so long to have a website included.

Another way that many people build backlinks for their website is to use Social Bookmarking websites. A “Social Bookmark” is a website that usually has a very popular ‘community’ aspect to it. Users sign up and create profiles on the sites that contain photos and information about themselves. They then can save “bookmarks” of favorite websites which can be itemized by ‘tags’, which are one or two word descriptions of what the sites contain, and these bookmarks can be saved to a list that’s private or can be listed publicly, so that everybody can see it.

With the advent of what is known as Web 2.0, gaining backlinks is easier now than in any time in the history of the internet. Most sites now have an “interactive” quality to them nowadays. Readers can often sign in and create profiles. They then are often allowed to post comments on the stories or articles on the website or blog. In many cases, the website or blog owner responds to these comments; thus making this section of the website or blog a conversation.

Backlinking strategies can be easy and fun and the website owner who is working on getting more backlinks for his website can learn new things, meet new people, and have a tremendous amount of fun doing something that was once a chore: building backlinks.

Search engine optimization is a growing industry, and increasing numbers of companies are becoming interested in hiring search engine optimization firms. Seo is about relevance. An irrelevant keyword does you no good at all and in some instances might be harmful because it can leave the search engine confused as to what your article is about.
