Who Said Blog Links are Not Effective???

Hi All,

I am search engine optimizer from Offshore Software Development Company. I have heard lot that blogs links are not effective more than site links. As per my own ways blog links are more effective than Website Back link.

Some points to be noted behind this.

Blog links always comes from front page.
Blogger always do social bookmarking for each post
Blog has no-follow link but Google crawls it.
High PR blogs must have Good Traffic.
Paid Links from Blog is very much effective.
Paid Banner Advertising on Blogs is more effective and cheapest as 50 Paisa per day.

Website links are not effective as my way because just see below reasons.

Website Links come from link pages which is not crawled or if it has PR and crawled page than there is no guarantee when google bot will crawl it again.
Website Back link Page mostly looks like link farm / link directory
If the website have good traffic but if there is no visitor on link page than how will you get referral traffic.

Website back link is not useful to get referral traffic.

Just think if you are wasting your money for getting backlinks for your website and you are not getting too much traffic what you want for your website than in easy English language I am saying that just go for blog advertisings. Just take one time experience.

If you would like to know more about Blog advertising and Banner Advertising on Blogs. Just reach me at patelchiku@gmail.com

Content Writing Tips | SEO Ahmedabad | SEO India

2008-06-10T23:45:00.000-07:00

Writing for websites -- content, as it is called -- is an important task for webmasters. Your site must be current, relevant, and interesting in order to attract and retain visitors. The following are some tips I have successfully employed in order to keep my websites relevant:

1. Write with Passion. There is nothing worse than reading a dull article! If you aren't interested in what you are writing about, then please don't! Better yet: Join one of the excellent content producting sites on the internet. Ezinearticles is a leader in this category.

2. Write with Clarity and Brevity. Do your articles make sense? Are you using too many complicated and arcane terms? Remember, the internet is visited by people for whom English is not their primary language. In addition, our attention spans online are very short. Needlessly long, verbose articles will lose your reader's attention. If you lose your readers, you will lose readership [members]!

3. Write with Purpose. If you are trying to sell a product, then sell it. Stay focused on the subject at hand and do not go off into tangents. If there is something else you want to mention unrelated to the subject, then write another article. Link it to the primary article if they are related. Never confuse or frustrate your readers!

4. Write with Style. Everyone has their own style of writing. Effective content writing engages the reader and piques their interest. Write as if you are having a conversation with your readers. Why do you think blogs are so successful?

Every successful writer knows when to quit... writing that is. Your point[s] have been made and it is now time to come to a conclusion and allow your readers to absorb what was written. Just like I am doing now!

SEO Ahmedabad - Social Media Marketing For Beginners - Ahmedabad

2008-06-03T01:47:00.000-07:00

In the recent past years Social Media Marketing and Social Media have dominated and defined Internet marketing. The popularity of social sites like MySpace and social bookmarking sites like Digg has caused this push. Social media has two main components, user generated content and the networking capability allowing you to form groups of friends and others that you can share content with.

Sites like MySpace, Zubby, and Facebook allow users to create profiles using text, videos and pictures to design their pages. These can then be shared with a selected group of other people in a special "friends" network and if the user wishes these pages can be shared over the whole social network.

Sites like Digg, Flickr, Associated Content and YouTube allow users to submit links to their favorite news articles online, pictures, articles, and videos then vote on the content that others have submitted. The most popular content is displayed on the front page of the site and the other pages are available to the general public to browse through. These drive traffic to the site and to the pages that are bookmarked.

There are many different ways to use these types of sites, either together or alone.

The use of these types of sites to promote your products and services is what is known as social media marketing. The types of traffic you get once your content is discovered and becomes well known in social media are primary traffic and secondary traffic.

Primary traffic is the direct traffic from the site that you used to make your site popular. If you are using a site that has fairly heavy traffic like Digg to promote your site you could get a large amount of traffic in a short amount of time so you need to make sure your site can handle the traffic, otherwise it may crash.

Once a site becomes popular on a social media site it gets talked about. When people talk about these sites they post links to the site which draws more traffic to the content. This indirect traffic is the secondary traffic. It is the secondary traffic that continues to flow to your site after the initial surge of direct traffic slows.

The benefits of primary and secondary traffic coming from social media sites include exposure to your site initially. Once your site is known by the general public then organic traffic will begin and repeat visitors start to show up, as long as you have something to entice them to come back.

Natural links to your site are beneficial because they are given by people or companies who have nothing to gain from your business venture. These are generally from relevant sites increasing the likelihood that visitors are going to be genuinely interested in your products and services. These links improve your search engine rankings and improve organic traffic.

Social media marketing allows your site to get exposure in a larger site and to a larger group of people. If your traffic levels off you can use social media marketing to jump start your traffic and work on taking your search engine traffic to the next level.

The alternative for increasing your search engine traffic is using pay per click advertisement. Using pay per click campaigns can help you to sustain increased traffic from the search engines but this traffic comes with a price tag.

Using social media marketing is free and can increase your traffic and your ratings in the search engines. Getting your site notices a couple times a year in the social media arena can make your site popular enough to bring in traffic throughout the year.

Unethical SEO - Black Hat SEO

2008-05-07T23:11:00.000-07:00

Unethical Internet Marketing

In the world of online marketing, every rule is a shade of gray that is constantly going through technical evolution. While many marketing techniques had periods of proper usage that were beneficial to how the Web works, some of the known online marketing styles that have been considered abusive (black hat) by the search engines. As with all marketing, there will always be unscrupulous businesses that cause techniques used today to become frowned upon by the majority. Making sure that your company is aware of certain basic standards and not accidentally infringing on discouraged techniques is essential to making sure your online brand is a flourishing asset that is building value.

Top Online Marketing Techniques to Avoid

• Page cloaking

In broad terms: using various techniques to fool a search engine to deliver different Web pages under different circumstances. Using various technologies, a site attempts to detect whether or not a human or search engine is requesting a page to view. If it detects a search engine, it serves up a visually unappealing page intending to maximize SEO results. Most search engines dislike this technology as it prevents them from grading actual pages that a human visitor would read, and it detracts from the ability to serve relevant results to the end user.

• Spamming of the submission process

Each search engine has a specific period that it will accept submissions for the same site. If a search site has guidelines of every ninety days, it means every ninety days. Many unethical SEO groups know of ways to submit nearly identical content located on different pages. When caught with such duplicate content submissions, sites are typically pulled from being indexed.

• Automatically generated doorway pages

A doorway page is created for the purpose of spamming the index of the search engine by providing multiple pages listed with particular phrases, for the purpose of sending that visitor to another page. They have many other names: portal pages, bridge pages, gateway pages, entry pages, etc. Some doorway pages redirect visitors without their knowledge by using page cloaking, which has taken on the nickname of page hi-jacking.

• Keyword Stuffing

This technique is defined by a Web page that is loaded with a variety of keywords in the tags or main content. Used with caution and skill, this technique is one of the basic building blocks of SEO. However the engines frown upon sites excessively flooding keywords on a page or hiding them in code that is irrelevant to the viewer of the page. The most abusive version of this technique is when words that are completely irrelevant are including on a page solely for the purpose of organic traffic results.

• Irrelevant Keywords

This technique is very straight-forward. You have a site about luxury real estate that lists random luxury car names or the names of premium golf clubs on it without providing actual information about the cars or clubs to the reader. The only reason the terms exist is to have traffic come to the site when they search for “New York Jaguar.”

• Duplicate content on different pages or sites (mirror sites, etc)

This technique is often one of the most common “accidental” black-hat techniques that many unknowing site owners commit. Once information is indexed by a search engine, any other sites that have the identical information indexed are considered “duplicate.” For established sites, this is not a large problem. For new and un-established sites, having large amounts of duplicate content may cause the site to be flagged as a SPAM site and completely removed from the index process.

• Misspelling of common words, or well-known brands/sites

This is very similar to irrelevant keyword and keyword stuffing- where popular brand names such as Google are misspelled for traffic results. Gogle, Goole, Googl, etc. It can also happen with longer names that have 2-5 parts that may or may not be searched for, such as: Trans American Airlines. Such variations as trans-america, America Airlines, or even Trans American Airline (without an s) can produce temporary traffic results for a savvy search marketer who is willing to break rules.

• Data blogs with no unique content (also known as splogs or scraper sites)

With the creation of RSS (really simple syndication) the ability to import data into another site has become increasingly simple. Millions of spam blogs exists that have re-purposed duplicate content from hundreds of other sites, programmatically making changes to the original content to make it look slightly different. Typically these blogs give absolutely no credit to the originating author of the material and are breaking several copyright laws. Well-read online authors have this problem daily, hundreds of my articles have been stolen this way over the past two years. The primary reason for the existence of these sites is monetization through programs like Google Adsense which allows the site to profit off random traffic lured in using the stolen content.

• Code Swapping

Code swapping is when an established page is changed to an entirely different page once a top ranking is achieved. Common instances of this include pages that originally very text heavy or have many comments and eyes looking at them (forum areas, popular articles, etc) and then switching it out with a “buy me now” page that has a call to action for a completely unrelated item. Successful online campaigns can profit during the short period of time the search engine doesn’t recognize the change, but risk having the page disappear entirely when the search system properly analyzes the new information (which is often worthless to the reader)

Search Engine Optimization - wikipedia

2008-05-06T00:44:00.000-07:00

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results for targeted keywords. Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the search results or the higher it "ranks", the more searchers will visit that site. SEO can also target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines.

As a marketing strategy for increasing a site's relevance, SEO considers how search algorithms work and what people search for. SEO efforts may involve a site's coding, presentation, and structure, as well as fixing problems that could prevent search engine indexing programs from fully spidering a site. Other, more noticeable efforts may include adding unique content to a site, ensuring that content is easily indexed by search engine robots, and making the site more appealing to users. Another class of techniques, known as black hat SEO or spamdexing, use methods such as link farms and keyword stuffing that tend to harm search engine user experience. Search engines look for sites that employ these techniques and may remove them from their indices.

The initialism "SEO" can also refer to "search engine optimizers" or "Search Engine Optimization", terms adopted by an industry of consultants who carry out optimization projects on behalf of clients, and by employees who perform SEO services in-house. Search engine optimizers may offer SEO as a stand-alone service or as a part of a broader marketing campaign. Because effective SEO may require changes to the HTML source code of a site, SEO tactics may be incorporated into web site development and design. The term "search engine friendly" may be used to describe web site designs, menus, content management systems, URLs, and shopping carts that are easy to optimize.

Webmasters and search engines

By 1997 search engines recognized that some webmasters were making efforts to rank well in their search engines, and even manipulating the page rankings in search results. Early search engines, such as Infoseek, adjusted their algorithms to prevent webmasters from manipulating rankings by stuffing pages with excessive or irrelevant keywords.

Due to the high marketing value of targeted search results, there is potential for an adversarial relationship between search engines and SEOs. In 2005, an annual conference, AIRWeb, Adversarial Information Retrieval on the Web, was created to discuss and minimize the damaging effects of aggressive web content providers.

SEO companies that employ overly aggressive techniques can get their client websites banned from the search results. In 2005, the Wall Street Journal profiled a company, Traffic Power, which allegedly used high-risk techniques and failed to disclose those risks to its clients. Wired magazine reported that the same company sued blogger Aaron Wall for writing about the ban. Google's Matt Cutts later confirmed that Google did in fact ban Traffic Power and some of its clients.

Some search engines have also reached out to the SEO industry, and are frequent sponsors and guests at SEO conferences, chats, and seminars. In fact, with the advent of paid inclusion, some search engines now have a vested interest in the health of the optimization community. Major search engines provide information and guidelines to help with site optimization. Google has a Sitemaps program to help webmasters learn if Google is having any problems indexing their website and also provides data on Google traffic to the website. Yahoo! Site Explorer provides a way for webmasters to submit URLs, determine how many pages are in the Yahoo! index and view link information.

Keyword Selection and SEO!

2008-04-21T00:09:00.000-07:00

Everyday, hundreds and millions of Internet users access the network in search of something they need or want. In the earlier days, users had a much easier time locating just exactly what they sought because very few online entities were in existence, and they offered very little services. Thus, it was easy to determine which sites actually contained what they needed.

Fast forward to the current period, and instead you find hundreds and millions of content varying in degree almost to the same extent as to the number of average users of the Internet per day. Businesses, institutions, and even individual users generate their own websites and content by using simple means, and as such, a searcher may end up having to choose from hundreds of choices in pursuit of materials related to what they are searching for.

Search engines play a huge role in making the current scenario work. Major search engine service providers, like Google, create user interfaces that allow for their users to enter words, or keywords, relating to what they are searching for. Various methods are then employed in order to search for the content links. Either they employ purely organic searches, which lists matches to the keywords regardless of whether they are paid or not, or they utilize crawler search engines. Crawler search engines simulate the crawling movement when they travel through the codes of each website and deciphering relationships between links and pages.

To maximize the potential of search engines in providing businesses their much-needed online traffic (and hopefully translate traffic into sales), SEO or Search Engine Optimization method was created. SEO is centered in trying to provide a business with quality content and websites in order for it to help rise in the rankings in the query listings. Central to SEO is a customer-oriented approach, and is achieved mainly by providing well-written information in the website, as well as making sure that the content found in their websites are relevant to what the users are looking for.

However, for SEO to work, there must be a clear and tangible relation between keywords and relevant content. After all, if the search engine finds great difficulty in tracing matches back to keywords provided by the users, chances are, the website will not be found by the target market.

SEO works with keywords at the very onset of the business. The business picks a variety of keywords to which their website will be related to in search engines. If the user enters in the search engine a keyword that matches the keywords related to the business website, a high-ranking match is displayed among the listings.

Keyword selection and the effort that goes with it is only justified; after all, the nature of the keywords a business selects can make or break its campaign.

In order to effectively match a business keywords to those that will be entered by the users, selecting keywords must take into consideration the variety of keywords under the same topic that could be utilized when searching for it. For starters, making a list of around 50 keywords and selecting those that make greatest impact will help narrow down the keywords that should be bid for by the company when trying to get a spot in the listings.

In selecting keywords, it must also be taken into consideration the sort of response generated by certain keywords, alongside the people who would respond greatly to those words. By selecting keywords with the expressed intent of targeting a particular consumer base, the business creates a greater probability of visitors to the website being actual interested buyers instead of web window shoppers.

Moreover, selecting keywords that are closest in relevance to the content of the website better streamlines traffic into that which yields profits.

Popular keywords are those that users often enter into search engines and look for. These popular keywords (and the subsequent websites) usually are recipients to huge amounts of traffic, and as such, are subject to higher rankings in listings.

While popularity, relevance, and targeting are important, it must be balanced with the competitive demand for a particular keyword. Obviously, more businesses vying for the same word would create difficulties in acquiring that keyword for a business use. Before selecting keywords, it is imperative that checks may be made in order to make sure that while the keywords are popular, relevant, and targeted, they are also not within the too competitive bracket, which will make it extremely difficult to acquire and rank.

Keyword selection is important in every SEO campaign. Only in pre-meditating keywords and studying market behavior in relation to these keywords can the benefits of this productive relationship be clearly seen.

Importance of CSS in web development

2008-04-17T01:59:00.000-07:00

CSS style sheets have made it easier to handle web pages during web development. CSS or Cascading Style Sheets as the name suggests is a style sheet that allows you to easily link to other documents in your website. It allows you to retain control over the various elements in different web pages of your website.

CSS only defines the structure and content presentation of a website it has nothing to do with the design of a website. A single CSS sheet can control the font, positioning, colour and style information of an entire website.

9 advantages of using CSS

Web pages are easier to load and uses less bandwidth
CSS style sheets are preferred by web developers for website development because they are lighter than table layouts, which consumes lots of bandwidth. The style sheet is downloaded only once and stored in the cache memory, so subsequent pages load faster.
A CSS style sheet compliments well with HTML
HTML is insufficient when used independently in website development, but when combined with CSS they can result in technically stronger web pages.
CSS allows you to position your element anywhere in the webpage
Web developers love to use CSS because it allows them to position their element where ever they want in the web page. If during any phase of web development the developer feels that particular links or columns are not going well with the situation then it becomes easier for them to position them easily using CSS. CSS reduces the risks associated with maintenance of the website.
CSS is compatible with all web browsers
CSS is combined with HTML or XHTML by web developers for web application development because it is compatible with all web browsers. The sites that use CSS appear similar in all the web browsers.
CSS can be used to create print friendly web pages
Most of the web developers love to use CSS for building their HTML based web applications because they allow them to create print friendly web pages. These web pages can be easily printed. The colours, images and other things which are difficult to be printed can be eliminated and printed easily.
CSS style sheets allows the user to customize the webpage
Now days many websites allow the user to change the layout of the website without affecting the content. The CSS style sheets which are stored externally allow the user to make requisite changes by themselves. Most of the modern browsers give user the liberty to define their own style sheets like changing some font properties etc.
CSS style sheets makes it easier for your website to feature in search engines
The CSS style sheets are favoured by web developers because they allow them to position their elements as per their wish anywhere in web application. Positioning helps to project the main contents first, so that it is easily captured by web spiders. CSS also gives cleaner HTML codes thus cutting down the job of web spider to search the real content from junk code.
CSS allows the web pages to have absolute consistency
One of the reasons for using CSS during web development is that they allow consistency to all web pages. All the expressions and texts will get their characteristics from external style sheet. Web developers need not to worry about the change in characteristics of the elements because they can be easily altered at any stage of web development by using CSS.
CSS lends portability to content
By using CSS you can make separate style sheets for different media. This provides you the great flexibility in presenting your content. CSS allows you to redefine the characteristics of elements in a website to suit the need of the situation. For e.g.: A separate style sheet will allow you to redefine the characteristics of certain elements so that they are easier to be printed. Also the user will never come to know that you had restructured the characteristics for their benefit.
CSS is created to make the things easier for your website and also to give you control over different elements in your website. Utilising benefits of CSS will give you popular user friendly web pages.

Google - The Source Fish

2008-04-08T00:21:00.000-07:00

HAHAHAHHAAH SEE The Microsoft behind the Yahoo...... Google is Google

Number 1 in Google

2008-04-03T22:03:00.000-07:00

This article started as a challenge. I have a membership site with an enormous amount of information on SEO, traffic generation, sales conversions, and so on. A friend of mine however made a bet. He bet me that I couldn't show the steps to ranking well in Google in 45 days or less, and do it in less than 2,000 words. Now ordinarily I'm not really the betting kind, but let's just say he made the bet interesting.

Before I go into the actual techniques to getting a #1 listing in Google in 45 days or less, let me say something that should be obvious: "It isn't easy." Also, please keep in mind that this is not a scientific dissertation on the subject meant to cover all angles of the subject.

Don't think that getting a #1 spot that fast is something you can do working on it only five minutes a day. You can't, not anymore. There's simply too much competition and EVERYONE is trying to rank well.

However, the rewards for getting to the #1 spot on Google are enormous, as I am sure you are aware.

With the preliminaries out of the way, there is an important thing to know about Google; it's that Google is very "link centric." In other words, ranking well is determined largely by who is linking to you and who you are linking to. There are other factors which we'll get into later, but that is the bulk of it.

Therefore, if you want to rank well, your site has to be "link worthy." Or better put, your site should have reasons why someone would want to link to you (and if you have a plain ecommerce site we'll get to how you do this).

You see, unless you want to spend a small fortune buying links (which largely don't work), the only way to get them, and therefore the only way to rank well, is to have something on your site worth linking to. This of course brings us to:

This is one of the best and easiest methods of getting traffic and links, yet it is also the one that is most often done wrong. All too many blogs for ecommerce sites are nothing more than "product posts."

So, let me say emphatically that:

People don't care about you, your cat, or your products!

That may sound harsh, but it's true, they don't. What your potential customers will care about is their problems, wants, and desires. Therefore, your posts should play to the customer but target the niche to which you market.

Blogs should contain articles that will be of help and interest to your target market. They should contain links to interesting news stories or bits of information. In other words, your blog should be a valuable resource to your target market independent of what you sell. Additionally, you should post to your blog every day (and twice a day is better).

Once you're doing that, you need to make sure that your blog is also "pinging" pingoat.com and that each article on your blog can be submitted to Digg, Reddit, and/or Del.icio.us.

The reason for this is simple. Those services will help to get your blog articles read, and therefore improve the number of links to your site. Pinging your blog will help to get it indexed by the major search engines that much quicker.

However, if you really want to rank well (and particularly rank well quickly), blogging isn't enough. You need to go to the next step and embrace Web 2.0.

But just trying to dive right in to social network marketing is likely to be a waste of time unless you already are heavily involved and active in one of the big services.

You see, before just trying to submit something to one of the social networks, it helps to know what works.

Sittin' in Front of the 'Tube

My favorite traffic and link generating service on this front is YouTube. Now, just submitting funny home videos may result in you getting your videos looked at, but it may not result in your site getting any traffic, let alone any links, so let's talk about a strategy that does both.

First, I'm not a big fan of trying to put together my own videos as a general rule. Instead, I want other people to do it for me. This is largely because creating a truly viral video requires an odd imagination and more than a little skill ... so I leave it to them (time being money and all that).

So what I do is create a contest around the "best," "funniest," "sexiest," or whatever I'm going for with the market. Videos are posted to YouTube, but you have to visit a location on my site to vote for it (and I have the software for this which I'll give you free; see my site for details). The video with the most votes wins. I usually give the winner a few hundred dollars -- enough to make it interesting but small enough that I'm not breaking my own bank in the process.

Of course the page where the voting occurs also contains some "ads" for my main site.

What's happening with this technique is more than you might think. You're turning your company into the "cool" site that is playing with web 2.0. Links will come if for no reason than because the folks that submitted videos will want others to vote for their video.

And you're tapping into the power of viral videos without ever needing to know how to create one yourself ... how great is that?!

Now, if you stopped there, you just might make it. However, you really should go one step farther.

I'm a huge fan of press releases as a mechanism to improve rankings. While it isn't cheap (cost is $80 per release and up, and you'll want to send out at least one release a week), there is no denying how well it works.

I personally use PRWeb (it's the one that charges $80) for its ease of use and how fast I can get a press release submitted and out the door.

When it comes to press releases there are very definitely right ways and wrong ways. I spoke about this at some length in an audio seminar titled "The New Rules of PR." In it I talk about writing releases for as many things as you can.

Well, some press release ideas are the launch of the video contest, the first video submitted, the hundredth vote, and so on. Each of those releases will link to your contest vote page and to your main site since you are sponsoring the contest.

You will be generating your own links to your site, but those links will be counted for more than simply buying them. Further, the constant flow of press will give additional strength to your site from Google. Then, as a final benefit, if you follow the advice from the link I gave you above, you'll probably find that your press releases will get picked up by other news outlets. This recently occurred with GreekforMe.com and a press release they wrote that was picked up by Canadian Runner and by ABC's of Running.

Don't Forget the Tried And True

Now that we've talked about blogs, direct to consumer PR, and YouTube, let's not forget some of the things that are proven to work. In this case I'm talking about commenting on blogs and in relevant discussion groups. Now if you're really smart, besides just occasionally being a participant, what about telling them about the contest, the press release, and some of the YouTube videos?

Now of course you will want to make sure that such things are kosher with the group you're posting to, but generally, if it really is on topic, and you're not just pushing some commercial, you're fine. This is especially true of blog posts. If you find a blog post relating to one of the videos, the contest you're doing, or anything like that, I'd definitely post a comment with a link. Links in comments don't help as far as the link count in Google goes (you can thank idiot comment spammers for that), but it just might get you some traffic and a mention (and a good link) in that blog's actual posting later on.

All in all, getting links requires being worthy of receiving them. It means doing things that will get people to want to link to you without you having to go out and ask for it. Because being worthy of getting a link is actually a relatively non-time-consuming task, I no longer even have a "link building strategy" in the traditional sense of going out to sites and asking for it.

In the words of one of my favorite authors, Seth Godin, "you need a purple cow." You need something that will get people to talk about you on their own, to go out and spread your message without your help or encouragement simply because what you're doing is so cool, helpful, fills such a desire, or whatever.

Indeed, it is in the quest to be worthy that you will find that marketing your entire business becomes that much easier. YouTube, despite starting after Google Video, completely trounced it. The reason for such a beating had to do with all of the voting and community aspects that got people talking about YouTube and hardly even mentioning that Google Video existed. This trouncing occurred in fact while the owners of YouTube were actually wishing fewer people would upload videos and such because bandwidth and server issues were making them broke fast.

I think you'll agree however that growing too fast is a much better problem to have than not growing fast enough (or not at all).

In fact, that is the crux of this article. Be worthy. I've given you some strategies to use to help you get there. It is only by being worthy that you'll get to the top of Google.

Reference Pages: How You Can Use Them to Attract Links and Traffic

2008-03-26T07:01:00.000-07:00

One way of attracting visitors to your website is to create content or webpages that are entertaining or filled with valuable information. If you own a blog and have been publishing for some time, you’ll have more than enough material to use as traffic or link magnets.

You might not even need to develop new content. You could simply collect articles or media you’ve produced and situate them in a frame which appeals to a specific audience profile.

This just involves creating a new webpage that is targeted towards a sub-section of your market/audience. This web page includes a list of reference materials relevant to a specific audience and it should be prefaced with an introduction which elaborates its purpose or aim.

I recently came across the perfect example of such a reference page in the form of Google’s help section for non-profit groups. Let’s use this as a case study on how you can create your own reference pages and use them to attract traffic/links.

Take a look at the website and the first thing you’ll notice is how it was specifically created for a specific audience profile (non-profits).

None of the resources recommended by Google are new: they are simply tools or applications that have been available for a long time. But that doesn’t matter. What is important is how the page is angled for maximum relevance: it demonstrates how Google can be used to fulfill the goals of a functioning non profit organization.

All of the tools are centralized on one convenient page: your visitor will only need to share one link to her friend. This facilitates both link-based and word of mouth recommendations. When constructing your reference page, keep it all on one page.

Each Google application is then explained in greater detail on individual pages, all of which are connected to one another via the left sidebar. The user can easily click around to explore the rest of the recommended tools. Remember to guide visitors to other pages by interconnecting them via highly visible links.

After you’ve created a reference page, you can start to drive traffic to it. Make an announcement on your site, draft up a press release, submit it to social news websites, purchase advertising and send email pitches to bloggers and journalists.

A well-done reference page will be a valuable source of inbound citation links and traffic over time. People will bookmark it and recommend it to their friends. Bloggers will share it with their readers. It will rank well on the search engines.

By offering a opt-in newsletter targeted at the specific audience profile, you can also use it to build your email list. Try creating reference pages when you have a chance: they are easy to create and will offer a great returns on investment.

Yahoo just added search suggest

2008-03-11T06:55:00.000-07:00

...A faster way to find what you're looking for. Introducing Search Suggest on Yahoo.com.

It works like this: When you do a search on Yahoo!, you'll automatically be given suggestions based on what you have typed - as you're typing. So, not only does this limit the number of words you need to type into a query, it may also present similar queries to shorten your searching time and get to what you're looking for quicker. Search Suggest isn't new, just new to Yahoo.com. We launched this feature in the Yahoo! Toolbar in Firefox a while back and you can get it directly from the Firefox 2 search box when you select Yahoo! as your search engine.

Let's say I'm trying to keep up with our illustrious "governator" here in California. I type "arnold s" in the search box and the suggestions pop up Arnold Schwarzenegger, which saves me from trying to spell out his last name. Or, I'm watching TV and wonder what song is in the background of a commercial that just came on. Problem is that I only remember part of the company name, "journey diamond". I type it into our new search box, and "journey diamond jewelry commercial song" is suggested right away - problem solved. Of course, the assistance it provides when I attempt to find some new bicycle tires, "mavic ksyrium" just after the first few letters, "mavic k" is much appreciated. Not only does the feature eliminate my embarrassment of misspellings, it makes for a much more efficient search experience.

The nice thing about the suggestions is that they're not obtrusive, so if you already know what you're searching for, you can overlook the suggestions without them getting in your way. But, when you experience those brain dead moments like we all do, it's the type of feature that just might get things moving again. If you don't like change, you can turn it off altogether by simply selecting "disable" in the bottom right corner of the drop down menu. And, if you're having regrets, you can reinstall it by selecting "more" above the search box.

If you want to see additional results of a particular content type, just click a link in the left-hand search navigation.

You can also refine your results by clicking on related search terms.

Right-hand contextual search navigation

Similar to the left-hand search navigation, right-hand contextual search navigation allows you to search deeper in a particular type of content or to search related terms—but from the right side of the page.

Optimizing Your Web Site for Google.THE EASY WAY!

2008-03-01T08:23:00.000-08:00

This is from the Preface:

Surveys show that more than 85% of Internet users find web sites with the help of a search engine, mostly Google. Therefore, your site’s position in the search engines is crucial to your business.

If your site does not rank in the top 30 results, Internet users will most likely not find your web site at all. While top 30 is good, statistics show that a number of people never go past the first page in a search result so a top 10 ranking is what you need to start bringing more visitors to your site.

Google is the most used search engine in the world today so this eBook is devoted to showing you how you can optimize your web site for the infamous GoogleBots as well as providing you with detailed information on what you can do to get a high ranking. We’ll show you the all-important (and ever-changing) rules that Google plays by, where to focus your effort, the important factors to get and keep a top ranking and lots of other tips and tricks!

Optimizing Your Web Site For Google is a comprehensive guide that will surely get your web site listed in Google’s top 10, (provided you follow ALL of our steps as detailed in the eBook). Please note that you must have a working knowledge of HTML, not necessarily professional, but at least proficient. That’s it!

This eBook is for Internet business decision makers, webmasters, and general Internet marketers looking for a clear, concise way to get a top 10 ranking with Google. The easy way!

The structure of this eBook is such that each chapter builds on the information that you’ve learnt in the previous chapter so we recommend reading from beginning to end, but feel free to browse around for all the tips and tricks we’ve sprinkled about!

We’re going to get you a top ranking on Google, (hopefully top 10), but that’s only part of the Internet SEO game… Once you start getting more visitors you need to convert them to sales. You want cash-paying, satisfied, repeat customers! So, while it’s often overlooked, if your web site doesn’t offer fresh, compelling, actual information about your products and services, if you don’t have a friendly navigation system, if you don’t have an uncomplicated online ordering system, then you’re wasting your time busting your butt for a top 10 ranking on Google. Make sure your web site is professionally designed with easy-to-use navigation and a shopping cart that is intuitive and created for the person who doing the buying, not for the guy who’s doing the selling.

Seems obvious, but the above is all too often overlooked…

Optimizing Your Web Site For Google will be available for purchase in a couple of weeks (August 15, 2007)

Have a great weekend!

Social Media Optimization: It's Like SEO, For Social Sites

2008-02-25T07:37:00.000-08:00

One of the coolest things about the rise of social networking and sharing sites like MySpace and YouTube are the new opportunities they offer to marketers, even to search marketers. Into that space seems to have come a new term, SMO -- social media optimization.

5 Rules of Social Media Optimization (SMO) from Rohit Bhargava to my understanding is the first use of this new term. In it, Rohit expresses how SMO and SEO can work together:

The concept behind SMO is simple: implement changes to optimize a site so that it is more easily linked to, more highly visible in social media searches on custom search engines (such as Technorati), and more frequently included in relevant posts on blogs, podcasts and vlogs.

In other words, many who do search engine optimization have learned to build search engine friendly sites. Do that, and the search engines often will naturally reward you with traffic. But is your site social media friendly? Have you added the things that will get you into the new fertile ground of SMO?
It's worth considering. Conceptually, some of this stuff isn't new. For example, we long had people taking about ways to help others bookmark your web site. But today's new wave of social media sites can operate as a magnifying glass. Get that one person to bookmark you to del.icio.us and in turn you might tap into many other links. And those links, of course, flow back into helping with search rankings.

Rohit's got tips in his post above. If those aren't enough, check out Cameron Olthuis's Introduction to Social Media Optimization, which provides further tips. Loren Baker then goes on with further ones in Social Media Optimization : 13 Rules of SMO, recapping those from Cameron and Rohit and adding his own. For yet more, Lee Odden offers some up on New Rules for Social Media Optimization. Need still more? You can't go wrong keeping up with post from SEOmoz. Rand Fishkin's never happier than when he's offering some SMO advice. And someday I'm going to sit Dax Herrera down and debrief him on the many sharing sites that I've him frequent with the ease of a native. The sale of his mustache, while not technically on a sharing site, was still a classic of working another site (eBay) to drive traffic to your own.

For me, that's one of the biggest adjustments coming from the SEO world and into SMO, understanding that your presence can be in multiple places without being harmful.
Here's what I mean. Generally in SEO, it's good advice to have one single web site that you point to. Build traffic to a common domain, rather than divide it among various places. Sure, as you mature in SEO, you learn the advantages to having multiple sites. A corporate blog and a corporate web site can equate to double the representation in top search results. But there are limits, and you're still basically driving traffic to places you own.

With SMO, the adjustment is understanding that you have multiple places that while you don't own them still can be valuable to you. A Flickr profile can get you traffic in the Flickr space. Similarly, your del.icio.us bookmarks while on the del.icio.us site still might drive traffic. And have you gotten a MySpace profile yet? Go now, because you might decide you want it to drive traffic from MySpacers down the line.

Matt Cutts didn't -- and now someone else owns his valuable Matt Cutts persona over there. Meanwhile, I might never flow into MySpace the way my 16 year old niece does. But should I decide to do more there, I'm sure I'll wish that I hadn't let this Danny Sullivan get the name I wish I'd had. Still, at least I've staked my claim -- and Tom's even my friend. Except Tom's NOT my friend, of course.

Want to discuss more? We've got two good threads going in the Search Engine Watch Forums, Here Come's Social Media Optimization? and What Is Social Search?
Social media optimization (SMO) is a set of methods for generating publicity through social media, online communities and community websites. Methods of SMO include adding RSS feeds, adding a "Digg This" button, blogging and incorporating third party community functionalities like Flickr photo slides and galleries or YouTube videos. Social media optimization is a form of search engine marketing.
Social media optimization is in many ways connected as a technique to viral marketing where word of mouth is created not through friends or family but through the use of networking in social bookmarking, video and photo sharing websites. In a similar way the engagement with blogs achieves the same by sharing content through the use of RSS in the blogsphere and special blog search engines such as Technorati.

Origins
Rohit Bhargava was credited with inventing the term SMO.[1] His original five rules for conducting Social Media Optimization are: [2]

Increase your linkability
Make tagging and bookmarking easy
Reward inbound links

Link Building

2008-02-25T07:28:00.000-08:00

Link Exchange is a must but be sure if you link to other sites is not a link farm. Link Exchange is belong to two way link building because it needs a reciprocal link. To practice of exchanging links with other websites or sites, you may request a link exchange to other websites by email or online form. You place their link on your site and vice versa. Usually when you ask a link exchange to another webmaster, your request is under a review,if they will accept your request or decline. They evaluate your website if relevant or not. More relevant sites that are linkings, the better. The two relevant sites will gain a website rank and google page rank.

Link Farm is an irrelevant sites that contains only advertisements and no useful information inside the website. You can not guarantee or receive point from Link Farm, just wasting your time to link them. Instead of receiving points, you will be penalized.

Link Farm is a website that does not have useful resources, it is only a page and have few contents. They are after to have a Google Page Rank but Google will penalize your site when you have to exchange link with them. Google also will not give you points or site rank of your site.

Two kinds of Link Building:
1.) One Way Link Building
2.) Two Way Link Building

One-Way Link Building, is a link to your site with no link back to or no reciprocal link. To obtain a permanent link your site to the reputable and relevant site without reciprocal or exchanging link.

SEO Tools Are Real Time Savers

2008-02-25T07:25:00.001-08:00

Search engine optimization requires many hours of research before the process actually begins. SEO tools are a great time saver, often offering information and data in seconds as opposed to hours of manually checking for specific SEO related information.

Though an SEO tool offers an opportunity to save time in gaining needed data quickly, tools do not replace the need to become familiar and experienced with SEO guidelines. Before an SEO tool can prove to be useful, one must first become accustomed to each of the major search engines and their algorithms to best understand and implement the data that you are researching into your own SEO project.

Example tools that help a webmaster safe time are the sandbox detection tool, ranking tool, back link tool, keyword popularity tool. Search engine seo tools are tools that can make a web master successful in achieving information in a short period of time.

There are many seo tools that can be found on the internet. I would suggest that you research each tool web site and make sure that there are no restrictions to that particular tool. Check for any copy rights before downloading a tool.

More SEO tools can be found by search on Google for SEO Tools.

Seo Latest Buzz - Latest Seo Modifications

2008-02-25T06:48:00.000-08:00

1) Co-citation If your Link fall in the right category (or right linking neighborhood) then you have a good co-citation and if not then it is said to be a bad co-citation.

Confused? Let me explain about co-citation in SEO language.

Let's think you have Search Engine Optimisation Company and you are looking for quality back links from the relevant websites. Lets say you got a link on a page where your link looks like this:

1) Search engine Optimisation Company 2) Shoes company 3) Gifts company 4) Gift vouchers 5) Woodland shoes 6) Experience gifts

The most popular search engines continually making innovation in their algorithms to prevent the spamming or using any BLACK HAT SEO Techniques.

The search engines crawlers might relate your website theme with other websites links available on the same page. The back links / link partners should be linked with the relevant and themed website. Linking anywhere with any website invite to a trouble and it might cause a penalties from the major search engines.

Good Co-citation If you have a search engine optimisation (SEO) web site, then your possible niche could be websites related to search engine optimisation. So, if you link to search engine optimisation related websites, and then your co-citation would be falling in the search engine optimisation (seo) category. This is good co-citation (means linking to good neighborhood, which is search engine optimisation (seo) in this case).

Bad Co-citation Bad co-citation occurs when your website falls in search engine optimisation (seo) category and you link to gift category or any other irrelevant category - which affect your search engine rankings. 2) Canonical URL Google calls Canonicalization as the process for picking the best URL when there are many alternatives. Have a glance at domain URLs mentioned below www.example.com example.com/ www.example.com/index.html example.com/home.asp Most of the people would think that these are the same URLs but all URLs are completely unique and different. A web server could return completely different content for all the URLs above Let me Explain Canonical URL in More Details A Common SEO mistake made by many webmasters is that they are not consistent in cross linking across the entire website.

If some of your links go to the URL http://example.com, and the rest go to http://www.example.com/, your link popularity gets divided among these two URLs - thus affecting the page rank as well as the rankings for that URL. So, it is better to pick the URL that you want and use it consistently across your entire website, as well as for your incoming links. One cannot, however, control how other sites would link to their website. It is better to use one type of URL not to confuse the search engines crawlers and making the most of search engine optimization. Suppose you want your default URL to be http://www.example.com/. You can make your web server so that if someone requests http://example.com/, it does a 301 (permanent) redirect to http://www.example.com/. That helps Google know which URL you prefer to be canonical. Adding a 301 redirect is recommended if your website changes often (e.g. dynamic content, a blog, etc.).SEO experts are proactive and keep themselves up to date with the SEO techniques and Search Engine Algorithms.

Google Latest SEO Issues

2008-02-25T06:40:00.000-08:00

Hi guys, here are latest developments on how google is behaving these days when it comes to the SEO fraternity. A lot of developments have taken place and have effected the way the websites rank on Google. I have tried to assimilate the subject in 4 points for better understanding.

Google Canonical Issues: It has been noticed that Google now treats www.yourdomain.com, yourdomain.com, and yourdomain.com/index.html as different web sites, the effect of whihc is that these pages are treated with google as different web pages with same content and these pages are penalised for this fact. This is a basic indexing issue and its problem with googles indexing capability that it was unable to resolve this issue.

Google Sandbox Effect: It is seen that websites which are new launches face this problem that Google does not include them in the ranking index for a specified period of time thinking that the website having 1,00,0000 pages cannot be created in a short span of time and the links that it has cannot be natural and are either spam or paid. So google puts the website under the sandbox penalty to ensure that the website is a genuine source and monitors the website till it finally start to show it in the results. The time frames are your best guess. Although there are no written proofs of such phenomenon but it is noticed that for highly competitive terms generally this is noticed. Websites targeting less competitive terms still dont have to face the sandbox penalty.

Supplemental Page Issues: After the Big Daddy roll out the supplement page issue became a night mare of all webmasters. it was noticed that big names were hit by this supplement page problem where 1,00,000’s of pages were put into the supplement index which was like burying the websites alive. The credit to this also goes to the Canonical Issues which google failed to resolve, but i guess the night mare is over to a lot of extent. TO add to the story is that duplicate content where the website in todays scenario use News feeds and Rss to cover the stories is also a problem which leads to supplement pages. The key lies in original content and well optimizes pages and solutions.

Cheers!!!
