Fad or Explosive Tactic for SEO

When a tactic works, one doesn’t run out and tell everybody!

So the only reason the so called “Gurus” were offering this valuable information for sale is because the concept was played out.

What works in promotion, may only work for a time, when EVERYBODY finds out, the results get downgraded.

When Google see’s massive traffic, it investigates, that’s its JOB, to deliver results for it’s customers. When Google spots a “loophole. Google rushes in to close that loophole.

One technique to gain advantage over your competing websites, is to “know thine enemy”, look at who ranks #1, #2 and #3 and see what they did to get that way.

So… I read a ‘white paper’ put out by a much larger Search Engine Optimization firm I compete against. That white paper “poo pooed” techniques that appeared to boost page rank and higher rankings in Google, but only did so for a short time.

… I thought about this, because I use some of those tactics to gain a quick boost.

Here’s what I came up with, this is an analogy:

The market is like the ocean, waves come in, waves go out. Google is also like that ocean, trends happen, then they fade… this is how it should be. SEO tactics come in vogue, then degrade in effectiveness…

Does that mean they didn’t do you any good? Of course they did you some good… they did if you got back links!

Don’t run out and buy everything the Guru’s are pitching.

Don’t try to compete against the masters, in the master’s Do Jo. You’ll lose.

You cut your teeth in this market, the niche market of Internet Marketing? You deserve to sit on the bench, you earned the right to sit on the bench, You put the time in, made a sale or two, got a page to rank, and now what?

Go down to the little leagues and kick some butt.

If you spent some time attempting to market Internet Marketing products to other webmasters trying to do the same thing you are- you were in some pretty tough competitors. Look at it this way: You made it to the NFL, even though you’re only good enough to be a bench warmer, take those skills and go after someone that ISN’T in your weight group!

The local google advertising market.

Those guys and gals couldn’t sell their way out of a paper bag.

SEO – What is Seo?

SEO is the abbreviation of the term “Search Engine Optimization”. This is a technique by which a website owner can make his website more search engine friendly. This means that SEO is a process which enables a site owner to get better and more traffic on his site. Normally, a net surfer will log in to a site he sees first and will not search for more than one or two pages for one search.

The site that comes up first will get the most traffic. This makes it important for a website owner to get his site in the first few options of a search result. This is where the SEO can help us. SEO can help a site get better traffic by increasing its ranking on the search engines. SEO ranks a site on the basis of its relevance in connection to the popular keywords. It makes a website easy to read by the search engines as relevant to the search.

SEO also helps a website by targeting other types of searches engines also like industry specific, local and image search engines. In order to increase the market relevance of a site, SEO first analyzes the algorithms of searches and the common topics that people search for. A SEO operation involves everything that will make your site rank high in the search engines. This involves the presentation, coding, structure and troubleshooting of problems of the site. If not given attention, these things can stop the search engines index to spider a site completely.

But some sites also apply some not so good tactics like link farms and over-loading a site with irrelevant keywords in order to increase the rank of their website. This is called the Black hat SEO. This is a major problem for the search engines as it decreases their image by putting up spam or unnecessary sites on the primary pages of a search results. That is why search engines are always on the look out for such sites and ban them from their indices.

SEO as a term is also applied to the Search Engine Optimizers who are the professionals which carry out the search optimization projects for the companies. These are the professionals which work as an SEO consultant only or can also take part in the broader marketing program for the company. In order to perform a good search engine optimization operation for a site, a consultant may have to make some changes in the HTML code of the site. That is why, the SEO tactics are incorporated in the site at the time of its development and designing.

In today’s cut-throat competition, every site owner wants his site on the number one rank of every search engine. And this is where the SEO comes in to help them. But while doing the Search Engine Optimization on your site, you must remember to be careful about the content on your website also as it is very important to have good information on your site.

PowerPoint Design from Cattails Multimedia

http://www.cattails.ca

I think the biggest reason for our success is our people. We have a team of project managers, graphic artists and programmers that I feel are the best in the business. What’s really great, especially in an industry where people move around a lot is that our team has been here at Cattails an average 6 years each. That is something I am really proud of.

We have three main areas of service for our clients, Presentations, Web Design, and Video Services.
In many cases, we integrate all three into an effective branding campaign.

We create presentations for a range of uses from large Keynote presentations, to workshops, to one on one sales presentations.

Our research shows that a properly designed and structured audio visual presentation can improve retention rates by over 50%. Sales managers tell us they like to give their sales force PowerPoint presentations for two reasons.

1. It helps them stand out from the competition, and
2. It delivers a consistent sales message that has been structured by Head Office. It keeps the sales guys from going off message.

Web Sites are another area we are quite proud of.
We take a site beyond simply being an electronic brochure, a glorified Yellow Pages ad.

We spend a lot of time working on Search Engine Optimization, and researching and integrating the most effective keywords and phrases into the web copy. Our attitude is that the greatest designed site in the world is of no use to our clients if no one knows it exists. We spend a lot of time integrating design with both SEO strategies and the most current technologies.

A big part of this integration includes video.
Web visitors today expect a more dynamic experience than just paragraphs of text and bullet points.

A compelling audio or video series of messages will provide a greater impression than plain text, and is much more likely to entice a visitor to bookmark a site, or recommend it to a colleague.

We also create off site videos for the specific purpose of driving viewers to the corporate site.
When people visit a site they want to know “Who are you, and what can you do for me?” We know how to answer those questions. We understand not only web video but graphic design and SEO tactics.

We work with our clients on both content and strategy. Our advantage over a lot of our competitors is how we integrate all 3 of our strengths into an effective marketing and branding campaign.

That’s the Cattails advantage.

SEO Success: Step One is Good Web Design

Creating a well-designed website is the first step in your
internet marketing strategy. Once the website has been created
and optimized, there are further techniques to employ that will
drive traffic to your website for successful, long-term results.
You wouldn’t consider opening a retail store in a major shopping
mall without signage and you shouldn’t consider having a nice
looking website designed without expanding your web presence in
order to be found on the internet. But unless the website is
designed correctly to begin with, follow-on SEO efforts will
have limited results at best. The following strategy overview is
designed to bring about productive SEO results:

- Create an attractive website that is complementary to your
company image and provides your targeted audience with
information about you, your company and your products and/or
services.

- Design a website that has a call-to-action in the form of a
purchase or providing you a contact, subscription or other
commitment from your visitor.

- Create a successful marketing arm for your overall business
promotion and marketing campaign to promote your business,
products and/or services with the many follow-on strategies that
drive traffic to your website.

- Become competitive in your industry and marketplace by meeting
or exceeding the industry marketing standards and attracting a
qualified audience for your products and/or services based on a
strong reputation.

- Generate and maintain or grow internet traffic to your website
resulting in a conversion of traffic into sales of your products
and/or services by evolving as your market demands.

This search engine optimization (SEO) strategy is composed of
several processes in three stages: 1) Good web design, 2)
Attracting attention from search engines and directories, and 3)
Creating long-term popularity on the internet. However, it all
starts with good web design. Website design is the foundation
and beginning of a successful internet marketing strategy. It is
true that there are websites on the internet that are
unattractive but somehow seem to work. If there are aspects of
these websites that work, imagine how well they could do if they
simply followed basic design implementation tactics that
resulted in a good image as well as simply pushed information
out to the viewer.

These basics are essential for Tier 1 success:

- Good web design will complement and enhance the company image
and offline marketing campaign products creating a corporate
branding if done well.

- Easy, logical navigation that leads the viewer deeper and
deeper into the web of information provided by the website will
keep the visitor on your site longer and give you more time to
sell your products or services.

- Attractive but quick-loading graphics that are pleasing to the
eye and meaningful to the website will guide the viewer along
the route you decide is important for explaining what you offer.

- Keyword usage that is search engine-friendly depends on how
the keywords are utilized, the placement of the keywords, the
frequency of the most important keywords and their relevance to
the website.

- Website coding that is lean, clean and without errors will
keep the search engines happy and your viewer seeing exactly
what you intended to offer.

- Relevance of content to the theme of the site is essential. Be
concise, to the point and focus on your goals. If you have
multiple themes and offerings, consider multiple websites to
address the different markets, then tie each website back to the
others by linking.

- Changing content that changes frequently and stays fresh keeps
your viewer returning and prevents the search engines from
treating your website as if it were stale news. A stale site
will be ranked lower by the search engines.

Content is king — it’s all about content, content, content. But
how that content is presented is what makes the difference.

Link dozer review, bonus try first two months with 50% discount

http://www.klemenstibilj.name/link-dozer-discount-review-%E2%80%93-link-dozer-by-kristina-saric/, For promoting your product online Link Dozer will employ tactics of link building strategies, that point to your site, from as many locations as possible. Through its strategies, that you learn inside of its memberhip site, you ll be able to manipulate content in the way, that it will be shown to google like natural behavioural among people discussing various things on their blogs.

When it comes to backlinking , ie. off site optimatization, there is only one thing that is really important to your rankings. And Link dozer does exactly that, it takes care of your highly unique content, which is stated to be 60% or more of your SEO. As Google is stating, content is the king.

You should go with guidelines to that and you should do fine. Show respect to Google and its search engine will love you. Of course G. is changing and developing his algorithems all the time, that is because, he is in need for quallity content to provide it to his readers.

So if you want to rank higher you must be always one step ahead of G.`s development and have an approach which G. Is not yet following, that means you must leave no footprints of your system.

Link dozer in first place is SEO educational place, at least for me, and regarding to what I`ve read inside the forum, it was really an eye opening, even for most experienced members in the field.

Besides that LD is content management tool and as well content production tool. Once properly prepared article, it can create you large quantities of highly unique and readable contents, which generates you links and traffic to your site.

Ld is sustained of its own blog network, which has strictly rules about only allowing high quality content to be posted on. So that through time, the value of blog network linking to your site grows bigger and becomes authority in Google s eyes.

Regarding automation and Link dozer, I must dissapoint you since this is not a push button solution. LD is build in a way that allowes you to have a clean record of everything you perform inside. Of course you create acounts half automatically, verify them and use those accounts to post your content to article directories, to its blog network and social media 2.0 sites.

When talking about Link Dozer i cant not to mention, its developer, Kristina Saric, originaly coming from Croatia,. She is true, »no hype« SEO specialist and programer, her insight, knowledge, and expertise regarding SEO is “mind boggling”. It feels like she doesnt sleep at all; besides her developing work of LD, she is reachable in forum and her support by email is second to none.

And since all the best things come in limited editions, Link Dozer is limited to only 300 members. Cant tell if this is scarcity tactic of Kristina or no, but as I had a chance to get a feel of her, I wouldnt say so.

Anyway, if you are thinking about joining in, you better act fast, cause now in the moment of writing, there is quite over 200 members allready inside gaining incredible knowledge of Kristina and her system.

If you think you are ready for long term SEO success, you can join our Link Dozer community through my affiliate link.

As I am aware of pretty high subscription price of 97 USD, and fact that there is no money back guarantee and quite big learning curve of using LD, I am offering you to try it for half less for the first 2 months, that is 50 % off the regular price.

After you click below and make a subscription to LD, send me your PayPal receipt to my kstibilj@gmail.com

Before you join, make sure to clear your cookies, so I can be credited for it and consequentlly be able to refund you half the price.

"AdSense is Stupid When…"

“AdSense is Stupid When…”

There are times Google’s heralded ad affiliate program isn’t in
your long term business interest. Oh no I said it!

AdSense isn’t the unstoppable revenue engine for every
eBusiness. Before I am taken out and flogged by the eCommerce
pundits — please let me explain what I mean in my defense.

I make revenues from AdSense at a very high click-through rate.
I experience high click-through rates with AdSense without
resorting to questionable tactics like tricking site users with
photos (the AdSense trick and tip dujour).

So my perspective is from one who has made decent income from
AdSense to fund aspects of his business like advertising
seminars — and outsourcing to his virtual assistants. Yes,
AdSense is a legitimate and significant revenue source. However
evaluate AdSense with some type of balance.

By now you may have heard about people like Joel Comm’s six
figure income with AdSense, or Jason Calacanis of Weblogs being
on his way to generating 1 million dollars in AdSense revenue.
Google’s Ad revenue sharing affiliate program for publishers
certainly seems to be an eSales Nirvana for many webmasters.

But there are obvious and not so obvious times not to use
AdSense ads on your sites. Let’s list – examine – and explain
them below.

~~~~> 1. On Sales or Mini-sites

This is a no-brainer. If you are trying to sell a particular
product that is important to your bottomline, you don’t want
AdSense ads distracting your customers from either joining your
email list, or hindering your site’s online sales process.

However I do see hybrid sites that are mini-sites or full scale
eCommerce sites, with AdSense at the bottom of their pages. This
might not be so bad since only 1% – 15% of your site visitors
will either buy from you or fill out a form.

The thinking with this approach is you might as well make money
from disinterested parties using up your server’s bandwidth.

~~~~~> 2. SEO Business Sites

If your livelihood depends on search engine optimization or
marketing for a living you might want to think twice about
displaying AdSense Ads on your site. I can tell you this from
personal experience. I once was on top of MSN for search engine
marketing in my local area. I concentrated on my local area
because I found people felt more comfortable hiring an eCommerce
consultant locally.

One day my site fails totally out of the MSN index. After
intense study I noticed that I obviously had a filter on my site
from MSN.

I analyzed all the top ranking sites in MSN and noticed the only
difference between me and the other top ranking sites was I had
Google AdSense ads on my site. Someone at MSN felt that my
AdSense ads, and perhaps to a less extent, my book on SEO, was
getting a free ride in the MSN search engine database.

In fact I noticed that there were no sites with AdSense ads for
at least the first 3 pages. Plus the sites with AdSense were
only using 1 ad unit at the bottom of the home page (there were
very few of them in the top 5 pages).

I knew it was strange to not have AdSense ads on the top
Internet marketing sites. This prompted me to scan other
industries where I noticed the same trend.

Many of the leading SEO gurus have sites that have been banned
from the top listings by the search engines. It seems the more
visible you become, the more of a target your sites are to the
search engine auditors.

Some of my sites are still on the top of MSN with AdSense ads
but that doesn’t mean they won’t also be targets in the future.

Let’s face the facts. MSN and Yahoo! have competing ad networks
to Google’s, and this competitive situation is rife for a
potential backlash against SEO sites with AdSense ads.

Many SEOs will point to exceptions to this position. However you
have been warned!

Think about it, how long will MSN and Yahoo! sit back and watch
SEO driven websites use their search indexes to fund Google? Did
you know SEO in MSN and Yahoo(!) — is much easier to obtain.

Therefore optimized sites are creating an ad sales wealth
transfer from MSN and Yahoo into the pockets of Google! It won’t
be long before Yahoo! and MSN begin to devalue ranking on
AdSense sites in their databases — if not outright ban them.

If you are in the search engine business stay search engine
neutral, or create multiple sites for different search engines.

~~~~~> 3. When AdSense Becomes Your Only Business Model

When you become so myopic in your thinking that you build a
business solely on AdSense revenue — think again my friend. Why
build a business solely on the largess of Google?

I don’t know if your realize it or not, but the sites making the
real big AdSense money usually have a following that doesn’t
depend on the search engines. Internet mavens like Chris Pirillo
or Joel Comm have been on the Internet a while and have
followings for their websites. Therefore they can consistently
make six figures with AdSense.

These content powerhouses are an asset to Google and not the
other way around. But do you think Google is going to sit back
and watch just anybody make big bucks off of their top rankings?

If you do a search on most keywords you will notice many of the
top ranking sites are news sites, .gov sites, or .org sites
these days. The only exception is in industries where these
sites don’t really exist like eCommerce industries (clothing,
shopping, etc.).

No doubt in most industries you will notice a conspicuous
scarity of AdSense sites in the top rankings. In other words
don’t bet your future fortunes on AdSense.

An IPO based on projections of AdSense revenue isn’t in the
future for the average eBusiness. Think of Google AdSense as
supplemental income. Building a business solely on AdSense
revenue isn’t just silly — it’s just plain stupid

Blogging 1-4 Blogging for Business – Intro to Search Engine Optimization

http://www.steinarknutsen.com/video-episode-4-blogging-for-business-intro-to-search-engine-optimization Blogging for Business – Intro to Search Engine Optimization

In our last video we talked about planning for your blog. In this video I provide a brief introduction and overview of search engine optimization (SEO) as it relates to blogging.

Search egnine optimization is all of the on-page and off-page tactics you can do to drive traffic to your site when people search on Google, Bing, Yahoo and other popular search engines. The tactics we use can help maximize your exposure on those search engines.

On-page optimization is all the things you can do on your blog to help search engines know what your website is about. There’s coding you can do behind the scenes and optimization you can do with the content itself. For example, you want to include keywords throughout your site so readers and search engines can index your site for the appropriate words.

Off-site optimization is all the things you can do outside your site to maximize indexing and traffic. For example, submitting your RSS feed to feed aggregators, submitting your sitemap, and getting backlinks from other high PageRank sites.

The most popular blogging platforms support SEO to some degree and provide tools to help make it easier. The key at this point is to write great content.

In the next video we’ll discuss content creation and how to get started writing!
