SEO: Looking For Human Edited Directories?

admin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:16:02 +0000

Let me start off by saying that I have searched Google, MSN, Yahoo, Alexa and many other sources. I have found that many directories are either spam or outdated. This leads me to post this message

I am looking for between 30-60 directories that meet these requirements:

#1, Updated as of today.
#2, Search Engine friendly type URL’s.
#3, Rank With Google, MSN and Yahoo.
#4, Not full of spam.
#5, No hidden text or links.
#6, Both paid and free listings.
#7, No recipricol link is needed/asked about.
#8, Category for real estate.
#9, Human Edited would be great.
#10, A timely manner inwhich sites are to be accepted.

Example of a site I like:

http://joeant.com

I’ll tell you one thing. The best human edited site out there that is free to post to and that has an amazing PR (Google Page Rank) is www.dmoz.com.

Getting a link from one high ranking PR site is better than hundreds of low ranking PR sites.

It may take some time to get listed with Dmoz, but it’s well worth it.

Hope this helps!

Did changing hosting providers affect the SEO effort and rankings of a site?

admin — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 00:46:18 +0000

I gone for a free hosting company and they have suspended my account saying my account quota is over.I am now going for another free hosting provider for 1month and then change over.My question is,will it be a problem if I keep changing hosting providers for the SEO and ranking of my site?
I mean will the on page SEO factors in anyway affect my websites search engine and ranking position?
Also I am seeing website which is now unavailable due to the suspension of my hosting account still ranked at no.7 for google search results.
Will my website disappear from search engines during google’s next crawl?

If the interruption of service is not so long, it may not effect your SEO. But I would say a downtime of longer than 1 day may somewhat effect your SEO and pagerank.

If your site is making any money at all, why not invest a little bit on paid hosting? They can be as cheap as $3 a month. Why risk your Google rank…

Look for a cheap host at http://bestcheapwebhosting.org

Good luck.

Free SEO Course – Suggestions?

admin — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 23:03:09 +0000

I’ve recently started my first website and am keen on learning about SEO, but don’t know where to start. I’ve looked on various forum and websites, but they are all rather complex (and make many assumptions).

Can anyone recommend a good free SEO course that can outline the basics and get me started?

Hi,

Seomoz is a good resource, as is search engine land.

Basically SEO is about attaining a ranking in the search engines. One of the ways (emphasis on the ONE), is to generate one way inbound links, which I detail below:

Try to steer clear of back link exchange sites and reciprocal links. These will just take up your time and don’t offer a great deal of value unless you can get a reciprocal link from a high page rank authority site that is.

What you are looking for is one way links, that’s links from one site pointing to your own site. Think of a link as a vote, the more votes you generate the better your chances of rising up the search engines results. It’s not all about the number of links though, generating quality, relevant links is key.

Moving on from this, try to generate this type of link from a site with at least a page rank of two. You can easily tell the page rank of a site by downloading the page rank tool bar, available on most search engines.

Methods:

Try researching your competitors. Use Link diagnosis or Yahoo site explorer. Tyr to generate links from sites pointing to your competitors sites.

Blog posts. Find relevant blogs, read the posts and comments and join in the conversation by adding something interesting, leave your thoughts, offer help, and leave a link pointing to your site with your key words as the anchor text.

Article submission: Write articles on your subject, post to article directories – leaving your link in the resource box.

Free directory submission. Generate a list of free web directories; submit your site for a free link.

Dmoz: Although not as powerful as it once was, submit your site to the open directory project.

Forums. Can be time consuming as you really need to become ‘part of the community’ before being able to generate a link, but well worth the effort.

These are just a few of the ‘free’ methods. Keep doing your research and remember it takes time and consistent effort.

Happy link hunting!

What An Arizona SEO Company Wants You To Know About Search Engine Optimization Services

admin — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 22:43:38 +0000

If you’re approached by an online marketing agency claiming they can get you a Top 10 search engine ranking “overnight”, turn around and run away!

That’s the advice a prominent Arizona SEO Company offers to business owners who are looking to get to the top of the search engine results quickly.

Search on any term in Google and you’re likely to get thousands of web addresses returned to you. And, if you’re like the average surfer, you’ll never click below the Top 10 listings. That’s because nearly 100% of anyone’s search requirements are fully satisfied by web sites appearing on the first of the many search engine result pages (SERPs). If you’re not on the first page, you might as well not be there at all.

The only way to earn and keep a Top 10 rating, other than buying your way to the top by bidding outrageous amounts of money for a laundry list of key words, is to use natural search engine optimization techniques.

Often called “organic search engine optimization”, these natural search engine optimization techniques work because the online marketing agency, or search engine optimization firm, using them creates pages of web content that are specially designed to attract search engine “spiders”.

These pages are optimized with just the right blend of targeted key words, proper HTML tags, and a page/web linking strategy that search engines look for.

Natural search engine optimization is part art and part science and a lot of online marketing experts are getting it wrong. That’s why our contact at a noted Chandler Web Firm recommends that you check out the references that a search engine optimization firm provides before you sign any agreement.

Besides checking references, which can always be faked, ask the online marketing agency for a list of key words that they have achieved Top 10 ratings for. Then search on those terms and see if any of the web sites in the Top 10 match the reference list you were given.

Finally, our Arizona SEO Company friend says that you should beware of any search engine optimization company that cannot provide a couple of local references. After all, how good of a marketing agency can a company be if they claim to be a Scottsdale marketing company and they don’t have any clients in their home town?
