Free SEO Course – Suggestions?
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!

7 Things To Look For When Hiring An SEO Firm
You know by now that Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a technique used by website owners to drive “natural” traffic to their website. You also know that SEO is performed by publishing keyword-rich articles and by playing around with the html code. But do you know that SEO is not as easy as it sounds – it needs an experienced firm to perform SEO, and it needs some time and research to hire such a specialized firm?
But we’ve made the task simpler for you and here is a checklist you must use when it comes to hiring a SEO firm:
Is the firm reputable? The SEO firm you are employing must be on a sound footing and it must stand head-to-head with its peers in the industry. This is not to say that we have anything against small SEO outfits who are just starting out – go with them if you feel they have the credentials and the capacity to do your work, but at your own risk.
Does it have an established client base? If an SEO firm is good, clients will flock to it automatically. So, does your SEO firm have a list of esteemed clients, or is it into SEO for websites who should be confined into the web junkyard? Find that out and go with an SEO firm that has a solid client base.
Does it use black hat techniques? Black hat techniques stand for unethical ways of performing SEO. If an SEO firm has ever spammed, or lifted articles, or created web farms to generate traffic, or used any technology to fool the search engines, then stay away from such a firm. You can find out if a firm is into black hat techniques by looking at their client list and talking to the clients, specially the old clients.
Does it have the right employees? Your SEO firm should not just have technically qualified, experienced employees – it should staff them in adequate numbers too. There’s really no point of going to a well reputed SEO company that has 5 employees and a roster of 200 large clients.
Does it offer all the SEO services? A good, well-established SEO firm will offer all SEO services under one roof – sourcing and submitting articles, programming, directory submissions, blog posting, search engine submission, link building, etc. If your SEO firm offers only a part of such services, ditch it, because you can’t be running around to two or more companies trying to perform SEO on your one and only beloved site.
What about its employees’ skill sets? You can get the best articles published and the best of sites to link to your website, but that won’t do a lick unless your website’s design, layout, navigation is search-engine friendly. The employees at a good SEO firm must be experts in website design, programming, understanding how search engines function, link building, directory submission and web traffic analysis, and these guys must be working in-house – these skills must not be outsourced.
How does the SEO firm respond? Does the firm respond in quickly or do they return calls in a few days. If they take over 24 hours to return your call, don’t even consider them.
Once you have determined that an SEO firm fits your requirement, check to see if their costs will match your budgets and if they have a person on board whom you’ll be comfortable working with. And if everything seems okay, go for them.

How Can Selecting an SEO Partner?
Every company offering SEO related services promises results but few deliver on that promise. To be the exception when it comes to delivering on that promise a SEO partner must take an approach that ensures quality results that meet YOUR business objectives.
Here’s what to look for:
First, they should demonstrate that they understand your business need.
Just giving you a questionnaire is not enough. At the beginning of any engagement, they should take the time to understand your business objectives. Your business is unique and a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach rarely actually fits every business. By taking the time to understand your business they should be able to tailor their services to best meet your business objectives as well as your budget.
Second, they should use a proven model of optimization that offers ‘realistic’ expectations.
Ignore marketing hype like “Rank #1 in Google in 24 hours” Search engines do not make public the process or rules they use to crawl, rank pages or index website pages. Further the processes and rules change often as the search engines attempt to increase the value of search results. Of course if your keyword phrase is “one of a kind white unicorns hand made by a grandmother in Peoria” then you actually have a good shot of # 1 ranking if anyone actually ever searched for that. Otherwise, it takes time and lots of work to get high rankings.
To compensate for this lack of public information, an SEO partner should rely on a proven model to ‘uncover’ the rules.
1. Analyze – Determine where your pages rank today. From this you can learn what may be ‘right’ about these higher ranking that can be applied to other pages.
2. Target – Every web site is unique. Rather than a set of ‘canned’ optimization recommendations they should determine the right optimization options for your website. To accomplish this they should use a range of methods:
• Expert Review. While many SEO partners have great in-house experience they should also turn to other experts who study search engines to determine the most likely ‘rules’ used to determine how pages are indexed and ranked.
• Best Practices. They should look at the top ranking competitors in your space to determine how they optimized their pages, for more details visit to www.the20seotools.com particularly those aspects that could influence page rankings.
• Learn as they Optimize. They should consider implementing changes to larger sites in stages. Start by optimizing your highest value pages first, then, based on the results modify the optimization approach if needed before continuing.
• It’s More than Google. While organic search results are a key portion of any optimization effort, they should know that it takes much more to get quality traffic to your website. They should be able to help you go beyond the search engines to find your new traffic.
3. Optimize – They should be able to provide the detailed information you need to understand what needs to be done to your website. They should also be willing to let you make the changes rather than forcing you to allow them to make the changes at substantial per hour fees.
4. Analyze – SEO is not a one-time effort. Your business changes, your competitors change, your prospects and customers change and the search engines refine rules. This means you will need to periodically review your ranking and re-optimize your site. You should expect your SEO partner to provide ‘follow-ups’ to ensure that you got results.
Third, their approach should be comprehensive and include all the aspects that bring traffic to your website, not just search engines. Make sure they will provide
• Detailed Site Analysis – You need to understand from where your site is starting.
• Keyword Analysis – All keywords are not created equal. They should help you understand which ones to use, and as importantly, which ones not to use.
• Page Structure Recommendations – Content, headers, keyword placement, it all matters.
• Engine Submissions – Each engine is unique. ‘Submit a link’ programs are not effective.
• Paid Search – The internet is like any business, for more details visit to www.sitemap-makers.com sometimes ‘free’ isn’t worth even that.
• Reciprocal Links – As with keywords, all links are not created equally.
Selecting a SEO partner can be intimidating. With all the marketing hype, it is easy to get fooled. In the end SEO is like any other business service you use. You should be able to understand the benefits, and limitations, it offers and make an informed decision about how to invest your money.
