There are many ways to achieve this but some are better than others. It is often best to drive traffic in an organic and natural way because the search engines are paying closer attention to the tactics and strategies used. This means that tactics like social bookmarking will become even more important in the months and years to come.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The origins of social bookmarking may have developed from people wanting to share cool things with their friends; it has grown to be far more important than that these days. The underlying principle of social bookmarking remains the same but it is an important tool in promoting your website and is seen to be a friendlier way to promote than many other forms of SEO or promotion. Being able to tap into an online community is a great way to expand awareness of your brand or drive traffic to your site and this is exactly what social bookmarking provides to website owners today.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Increasing the traffic flow towards your site is essential and this is where the correct use of social bookmarking tactics can really boost the hits that arrive on your site. Social bookmarking can really appeal to a niche or hit a specific target market, which is vitally important in the modern internet era. The fact that the links from social networking sites to your site via social bookmarking is a one way link can often see you score higher on the major search engines. You should be aware of the importance of backlinks in good SEO and back linking is at the heart of good social bookmarking.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Don’t be fooled into thinking that social bookmarking will be the magic bullet that transforms your site or business into a multi-million grossing empire. It won’t. This means that you need to keep submitting great content, producing great products and providing a high level of service to customers to turn that traffic into sales. However, if you have good content that is being placed or recommended on sites like Digg, Reddit or Del.icio.us, you will start to see a big difference in the number of people that visit your site. If you have great content on a number of pages, you should hopefully be able to keep them on site and then start to turn that traffic into sales.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Like every SEO tactic or skill, social bookmarking shouldn’t be considered a way to trick people into buying from you or visiting your site. Having this approach to promotion will only end in disappointment but if you follow the proper steps and procedures associated with meeting customer satisfaction, social bookmarking can be an excellent asset in your armoury. Having a presence on the internet is far from being all you have to do to make sales, you need to go further and give people a reason to stop by your site and then stay for longer. The use of social bookmarking can be a very sensible tactic&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you are interested in getting a &lt;a href="http://www.nationsubmit.com/social-bookmarking.html"&gt;social bookmarking service&lt;/a&gt; done for your website or blog check out nationsubmit.com for some great deals. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8887155401031246693-6328860342048885702?l=www.nationsubmitblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Nationsubmit/~4/DZNr5Z4Hlmo" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Nationsubmit/~3/DZNr5Z4Hlmo/social-bookmarking-is-vital-to-drive.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Todd)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.nationsubmitblog.com/2012/02/social-bookmarking-is-vital-to-drive.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8887155401031246693.post-3518561267789915595</guid><pubDate>Thu, 12 Jan 2012 09:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-01-12T01:23:24.219-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">article submissions</category><title>Article Marketing Is The Popular Way To Boost Rankings</title><description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Even though having a website for yourself or your business gives you the opportunity to reach the world, there is a lot more work to be done. With so many websites competing for guests and traffic, it can be difficult to stand out from the crowd and provide people with what they want. Content is definitely King when it comes to having a good website but even that can fail to bring in people to your site. After all, content only becomes valid when people start to visit your site and can spread the word about what they have learned; there is still a need to drive people towards the site.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;However, if you are capable of creating great content that people want to read, this could be a great ally in boosting the traffic towards your site. Article marketing is an extremely important way for people to generate interest and links to their site. If you are not too familiar with SEO, you may not be aware of the importance of having links to your site. On the surface, having links to your site is positive because it can direct people to your page or website but there is a greater impact than that. When creating their rankings, search engines place a great deal of importance on links to your site and the more credible links you have, the higher ranked your site is likely to be. Being found on search engines is something that every site needs to aim for and article marketing can help achieve this. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Having a number of article submissions in your name or under the name of your company can also help you to become a recognised expert in your field. Developing an image and presence with respect to your chosen field is one of the most important things for most people and submitting articles to sites can help to create awareness about your work. Backlinks are an important part of ensuring your site is found by visitors but if you are looking to be recognised as an expert, developing your identity and reputation through article submissions is a very sensible idea.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Of course, you may not have the time to place these articles on all of the article sites because time is often tight. This is where the support of an article submission service can make all the difference in getting your right contact to the right people. These services will ensure that your content is placed on all of the article sites that matter and will help you to submit it right first time. There are many pitfalls that users have to be aware of when submitting articles so working with a professional firm with lots of experience should hopefully make the process easier. Having your work and links placed on a greater number of sites will increase the likelihood of traffic being generated towards your site and will also boost your online prese&lt;a name="_GoBack"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;nce. If you have the content that people need to see, make sure that they get to see it and article marketing is a great way to go about it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Need a company who knows what their doing?

One of the most important ways to be found, if not the most important way, is to ensure that search engines can find your site and rank you. You want to be in a position where people entering search terms relevant to your site can find your site on the first page of Google, Bing or whatever search engine people use. All of the search engines use algorithms to rank the sites that they find and even though the precise nature of these algorithms remains a secret, there are basic elements of these algorithms which you need to know about.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;After all, if you can tailor your site to be found more easily by search engines, you will stand a much greater chance of having traffic being directed towards your site. This is where you can start to make money or have a wider audience for your thoughts and feelings. It doesn’t matter what reason you have for owning and running a website, having more people being aware of the site and visiting it is important for every website owner. There are three key elements to the search engine algorithm process:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;1.&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Crawlers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;2.&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Indexation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;3.&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Retrieval&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;Crawlers (or spiders) travel the internet reading content with the major websites (for example CNN or BBC) being trawled three to four times an hour while a blog that has been dormant for a number of years may only be trawled every couple of months. The indexation step is akin to printing out all of the web content and then stacking it together. The retrieval step is the most interesting part of the process and this is the algorithm based on keywords and relevancy of content starts to emerge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;If you are looking to create a website with content that will be relevant to readers and to the search engines, focusing on the third step of the process is the most important part. The Google algorithm is called Page Rank and it focuses on the following steps:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;The location and frequency of your keyword within a web page. Too many keywords and it will be regarded as spam, too few keywords and a low score will be awarded.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;The history of the website. Seniority can have a positive impact. With so many new websites starting every day, having an established and recognised history will result in a higher placing in searches.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;External links to the web page. The number of links to your website or webpage from external webpages will have a large impact on the ranking of your site.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;These are the main elements for ensuring that your site is ranked highly and while you may not have too much of an influence over the age of your site, you can certainly impact on the other. Creating good quality content with a natural keyword percentage (some would say between 3%-6%) will see your site scoring highly. Having external links pointing to your site, with links you create yourself on forums or messageboards or links through link submitting processes can also boost your overall ranking on a search engine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span &gt;Looking for a quality link building or SEO service provider?

Not only that Google has always placed a high emphasis on quality content to be a great building block to getting good rankings in Google. But now days it becomes harder to surpass your competitors in simply having content  so you will also have to find ways to utilize that content.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Now what do I mean by "content"? There are many forms of online content... whether it be an update to the content on your website, a new blog post, article, press release, newsletter, posting valuable information on forums, even a twitter update or similar social community. There is also media content but that is a topic for another day. All of these methods can be considered content and also help build your reputation in your community niche.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;You will never go wrong with having new content for your website, blog or using it as a SEO tool. No matter who you are you can never have enough of it and it will never get old.  I believe most successful online businesses succeed in the online marketplace either by creating new content continually and also knowing how to utilize that content most efficiently. You will never want to create one piece of content and use it across the board... meaning say you write a new article about your niche it probably wouldn't be a good idea to submit that same article to article directories, post it on your website, send it out via your newsletter, post it on blogs, post it on forums. While some may see this as the best way to promote new content it would be a better idea to create unique content for each of the techniques mentioned above. It's also fine for example to submit one piece of new content to say two outlets, but not all of them.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Another good tip is to never get into the habit of using the same type of outlets for your content. Try to mix it up some even keep a checklist or log of the past content that you have put out there online. Some people enjoy writing new blog posts or sending articles out via article marketing. But using only one outlet will limit your potential. If one week you want to go with article marketing, the next week come up with a press release and following that write an article for your blog or sponsor blog posts for the article (blog posts). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; Are you looking for quality content that never dies?

It was designed to store all your favorite websites and other places you do not want loose or you want to look at later. It is also used to send interesting website addresses to your friends and even to share information regarding your work at school or the office.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Social bookmarking sites act in much the same way as the original search engines do, they help you locate information in different locations online. There is a great difference between them though, and this difference is a great time saver, When you write the keyword in a social bookmarking page, it will not only give you all the pages which have the keyword you submitted but it will also give you the number of  times the site has been visited. If one page has been seen fifty times and the other two times, the logical page to check out would be the most visited.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Social bookmarking allows you to narrow down a search for information very fast and very easily. These sites do not only use keywords as criteria to guider you to specific web pages but they use other  information which is extremely useful for you to avoid having to search and read through hundreds or even thousands of pages to find information. Social bookmarking pages use popularity, times the page has been visited, when the information was added to the web and many other different categories to allow you to find exactly what you need in less time than using a search engine.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The tagged websites do not have to refer to any specific item or type of information. In fact there are several social bookmarking websites that focus on the news. This allows you to start a search for any specific news item of your interest and you will get the results to the most recent events concerning the news item you are interested in. They are very intelligent search engines which provide you with a lot of information even before opening the page and reading the actual information.

The authors name is not allowed in the title. Quotations and smart quotes are not to be used; profanity is not allowed to be used in the title. Keyword richness is of importance, it is highly suggested to ensure that the article is keyword dense and the keyword phrase is chosen wisely. This usually comprises of three to four words most often used in the title, first sentence, a couple of times throughout the body of the paper and then in the closing paragraph. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Another thing to remember is that only four web links or URLs are allowed to be included in an article and HTML tags are not authorized to be in the body of the text. The rules have become changed, as with anything, over time, changes have to be made. These guidelines may seem strict but they are to be followed otherwise articles will be rejected from the Ezinearticles site. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;If you are looking for a service that has a great experience in writing and getting articles approved at ezinearticles and other article directories then check out Nationsubmit and their &lt;a href="http://www.nationsubmit.com/article-submissions.html"&gt;Article Submission service&lt;/a&gt;.

They help create publicity, build traffic, market article writing, and help one gain exposure. There used to be a fee for the service but currently there is no charge during their testing period. Right now is the time to try them out – there is the capability available to writers to enter ten articles, if these articles posted go above and beyond the normal expectations, the Ezine membership will be upgraded which will allow unlimited article submission. All of the entries are reviewed by a human that is part of the Ezine editorial team.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoTitle"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoTitle"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoTitle"&gt;For submitting the highest quality of work that can be produced by any individual the benefits are plentiful and rewarding! This can greatly help build up credibility both on a personal and business level. If one is wishing to be published in the near future, this really is a great stepping stone for them. Ezinearticles also build ones sense of worth and equity. It allows the readers to really delve into the authors and get to see what they are truly capable of doing. Web traffic is also an important point. What would one do without being able to market their product?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoTitle"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoTitle"&gt;Like any company, writers have to market their abilities as well. There are a plethora of publishers that visit the ezinearticles site throughout the year and they take the time to read through different articles to find one that best suits their particular needs. People have different writing styles and some are better at writing certain genres as well. On top of the great exposure to the ezine publishers, there are literally millions of other visitors to the site as well. One never really knows what opportunities are around the corner unless they put themselves out there. There comes a time when being scared or feeling vulnerable will hold an individual back. A site like this allows one to be as creative as they can and really map out their own destiny.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoTitle"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoTitle"&gt;Another benefit is there is no face to face selling and this type of marketing is close to ten times more efficient than regular advertisement strategies. Ezinearticles essentially does everything for the writers. They submit their work and Ezine does the rest. They have already built up their reputation as being a good, solid, and trustworthy site. Why not be recognized as being an expert author? Do not settle for mediocre, optimize on the integrity that Ezine has established for themselves.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoTitle"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoTitle"&gt;Who can beat free? In most cases, articles submitted will be held forever, which is a good deal if your article gets published. Publishers may display articles and links though for many years to come. Ezinearticles is the way to go if an author wants to get recognized. They are professional and there are so many benefits as mentioned above. Become part of a team whose job is to make you look your best, there is no better way to get discovered and be well on your way to publishing your first article or book!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoTitle"&gt;

Emerging SEO trends can impact each of these three groups in different ways; even redefining previously understood elements in entirely new ways.  &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;I’d like to cover a few of the latest trends in search engine optimization; these are items that have recently come into use and are proving to be useful.  We’re talking about increasing traffic and boosting internet marketing strategy here; try some of these out for yourself and see if they improve your circumstances.  &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;Blogging&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;Along with placing them directly on your site(s), content laden articles that provide links and/or reference to your site(s) can also be placed on various blogging / networking sites like WordPress or Hubpages.  The higher the number of top quality pages (pages with useful, relevant, entertaining and informative content), the better your chances of greatly increasing your relevance in search results.  &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;Long tail keywords&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;Think of long tail keywords as a string of keywords that target two or more specific subjects / areas.  For example, a short tail keyword might be something like “car wash”; while a long tail would be “Los Angeles car wash 12345”.  It’s essentially niche marketing to customers that might be inclined to enter specific strings of keywords.  By doing this you can ensure a much higher visitor capture rate; you’re essentially providing people with exactly what they’re looking for, you just have to hope that there is significant demand.  &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;Focusing on the (ideal) customer’s interests&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;If most of your traffic / visitors / customers all seem to share similar interests in one or more items then you are in luck; you’ve just found an effective way to market to them directly.  If you sell mostly electronics for instance, and notice that a lot of your customers are involved in regional activities like comic-con, then chances are you could advertise and sell to other people with the same interests from sites promoting these types of events.  It’s as they say, “Birds of a feather flock together”.      &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;Site speed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;That’s right folks, site speed or loading times are a new factor in page rankings; the faster your site, the higher the ranking.  This is understandable though, if two sites cover similar content, are both designed well and have comparable amounts of traffic there has to be a way to differentiate them.  Site speed is directly tied to the quality and cleanliness of your html, css, javascript as well as the overall design of the site in question.  Taking the time to increase loading times is valuable not just for SEO, but for creating an increased ROI as well.  &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;You can stay on top of SEO trends by subscribing to any of the various sites out there or by making it a point to attend any number of annual conferences / seminars on the subject.  If you are able to remain on the forefront of any changes that occur in Search engine optimization you may very well be able to reap more of the individual benefits.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;If you are searching for a quality &lt;a href="http://www.nationsubmit.com/"&gt;SEO service&lt;/a&gt; check out Nationsubmit and their various helpful services one of these is the &lt;a href="http://www.nationsubmit.com/5weekseocampaign.php"&gt;5 Week SEO Campaign&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8887155401031246693-3466932792626592600?l=www.nationsubmitblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Nationsubmit/~4/QbEYFT9oeTc" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Nationsubmit/~3/QbEYFT9oeTc/search-engine-optimization-latest.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Todd)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.nationsubmitblog.com/2011/04/search-engine-optimization-latest.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8887155401031246693.post-3895387886225842737</guid><pubDate>Wed, 30 Mar 2011 07:02:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-03-30T00:12:21.993-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">google</category><title>About Google Algorithm</title><description>&lt;div  style="font-family: arial;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;It’s difficult or nearly impossible to find even one person that hasn’t heard of Google; you could say that in many ways, Google has become the internet for most people. In fact, is has been reported that Google is responsible for up to 2/3rds of all internet traffic worldwide. But what makes Google so special, so powerful? It’s the classified and super calculative Google algorithm; it is mostly responsible for Google’s success. The algorithm, (which is modified hundreds of times a year) is an extremely advanced and complex system that is able to determine which pages are of greater importance, and it accomplishes this while also taking into consideration a very large amount of variable data (including human deviance). Whenever the Google algorithm is updated there is a slight chance that any number of websites (including yours) might be negatively affected. Individuals that regularly use black hat practices in their web development should be especially concerned.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family: arial;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family: arial;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Anyone that owns a web-based business or owns a site should be particularly interested when changes are made to the Google algorithm. You could be in the top 5 search results for any number of terms and then after an update; Bam! You’re off the first page. Things like that tend to negatively impact a business. It would be very beneficial to do your own research concerning Google’s policies and guidelines for content. With every algorithm update, there’s increasing favoritism towards white hat practices (because they’re actually based on original, quality materials).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family: arial;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family: arial;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Most websites are actually quite dependent on Google; the truth is, at least half of all web traffic to any particular site is Google-related. And understandably, when something is as popular as that; there will be difficulties to deal with. For example, anti-trust regulators in Europe have been concerned about supposed favoritism (in search results) that Google is showing toward affiliates like YouTube or even one of their other departments. They’re concerned that Google is wielding too much power; like the ability to stamp out any competition. But the truth is that sites like Google maps, YouTube, etc… belong at the top of the results simply because they are so wildly popular. Why would they need to alter their algorithm for nefarious reasons? They already own all the most popular sites!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family: arial;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family: arial;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;It is interesting to note that what Google does is incredibly useful to most people on this planet; their hard work has improved our collective quality of life. So it’s probably in the best interest of all parties involved to keep their distance to things like the Google algorithm. Most of us are familiar with the old saying, “if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it”; and this is a perfect example of just that type of situation. Since their algorithm is so powerful, its better that they keep it under wraps, imagine the chaos and disorientation of multiple companies all employing their own version of “the algorithm”. And what happens after the hackers and black hats get time to scrutinize it? They’re going to come up with even more sinister ways of manipulating data, leading to increasingly poorer and more unqualified search results or media. This is why the Google Algorithm is so important and the reason its updated so often.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family: arial;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-family: arial;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;If you are looking for where to start to get your website ranked up in Google, then nationsubmit can help you with their various &lt;a href="http://www.nationsubmit.com/"&gt;link building services&lt;/a&gt;.

These optimization techniques often involve editing the content and HTML in such a way that would increase the web page’s relevance to certain keywords typed into the search engine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the highly competitive world of e-commerce, investing effort in SEO monitoring can greatly increase a company’s exposure on the Internet by means of noticing online trends, search engine algorithm patterns, and changes in the use of certain keywords. In the short-term, an effective SEO campaign can boost a company’s visibility through search engines quite a bit but without dedicated monitoring, the website’s recognition can quickly fall.  The reason for this is simply that the competition in e-commerce is becoming exponentially thicker every day with the development of new technologies and programs being consistently designed to “out-do” the latest SEO technique, thereby maintaining a very valuable edge in the Internet marketplace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One example of the clear advantages associated with SEO monitoring is the concept of “fresh content” and how it is related to search engine algorithms. Imagine that you are a consumer looking online for deals on a certain good. On the first page of search results, you see several competitive offers that satisfy your needs but little did you know that if you were to go seven pages further on the search results, you would have found a much better deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, nobody has the time to scroll through 250 pages of search results in order to find the best deal so they often settle for the best option on the first few pages. The reason why the best deal was seven pages into the search results could have been as trivial as the fact that the website had not been updated as recently as the website results that came before it. As the owner of a company, how would you feel if you found out that the reason you had lost 300 sales to your lead competitors wasn’t because your product, service, or price were inferior to that of your competitors, but simple because they had added several new links to their site that you had neglected to add to yours. The search engine used would place the priority on the web pages that have been most active in the recent past so as to avoid the possibility that search results would no longer be relevant or accurate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, the practice of SEO monitoring is a low cost marketing technique that can yield a huge return on investment if the monitoring is performed intelligently, consistently, and diligently. If the SEO efforts are not a continuing project, other companies will quickly surpass the company’s position on the search engine’s results by keeping their own site updated in terms of both new links and a strategic use of keywords. On the other hand, if the SEO monitoring efforts are up to par, then the practicing company will enjoy a consistent flow of customers and revenue far beyond any of their competitors; an outcome whose value easily surpasses the cost of the effort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you want to stay on top of your competitors or prevent others form surpassing you in the search engines, its a must to keep your SEO efforts updated. &lt;a href="http://www.nationsubmit.com"&gt;Nationsubmit&lt;/a&gt; has a range of SEO services to help your website in the search engine rankings.

This is true of every area of human endeavor, there’s usually a clean, ethical way of doing things and a slightly less than ethical or even totally dishonest method.  With regards to SEO, they are known as white hat and black hat.     Both SEO methods are seeking to improve search results, but they take entirely different paths to achieve their goals.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is white hat SEO?&lt;br /&gt;Delivering quality content, of the kind that people are actually searching for is a principal element of white hat SEO.  In White hat SEO, the crème raises to the top so to speak; and positive results tend to last a lot longer as well.  There is no room for deception with this method, and all the best search results/content are an expression of white hat methodology.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is black hat SEO?  &lt;br /&gt;Black hat SEO is firmly rooted in the dark side of the force so to speak; Bond Villains would probably feel right at home with Black Hat SEO methods.   And like so many bond villains, deceptive black hat tricks always ultimately lead to limited success or outright failure.  Using hidden text that is hidden or not displayed in order to manipulate search engine statistics is a commonly employed black hat trick.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bad news for the black hats…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Search engines are universally siding with those that use white hat SEO techniques and methods; and for good reason, why would you want something deceptive, incomplete or incorrect when you can have something accurate, informative or entertaining?  It’s probably not even right to call black hat a method, it’s more of a way of imitating or faking real materials and/or methods.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In truth, SEO guidelines were established to give site owners and creators a standard to aspire to; and if their content was good enough it would take its place among the top results in a natural way.  What the black hat individuals are actually doing is slowing down the process (and bogging down the system) of identifying sites with something to offer people.    Black hat SEO isn’t really appropriate or recommended for any purpose, yet there are those that stand by these types of practices.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A better approach for those that need to rely on devious techniques to do their work is to first find a medium between the two extremes; a gray hat approach if you will.  Gray hat SEO is truly moderate and a step in the right direction for a naughty black hat.  Increasing keyword densities beyond necessary levels and publishing duplicate content in several different locations are classic examples of gray hat.  While activities like these are certainly not inherently wicked, they’re certainly not genuine either.  What makes white hat SEO so special is that content produced in accordance with its guidelines was/is created to actually serve a purpose.  White hat content can stand on its own under the strength of its own structure and value; black hat SEO absolutely requires the use of depraved procedures simply because the content it’s pushing has little or no value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to be sure you are receiving white hat SEO work for your website then check out &lt;a href="http://www.nationsubmit.com"&gt;Nationsubmit SEO&lt;/a&gt;, they strive to provide services with good SEO ethics.

First off all let's discuss what it means to get your website 'indexed' on a search engine. Basically users will then be able to find your website on Google (or any search engine) by typing in a few keywords. You have to realize that this can be real big and very competitive business. Take a look at the keyword "shopping", can you imagine how many companies would love their website to be the first hit on Google, so that they can get a lot of traffic from a lot of users which they can try to turn into clients and make them buy one of their articles?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But how can you get your own website indexed on Google? Well, the first step is to actually tell the search engines about your website. You will need to 'register' your website address to all the search engines you are interested in, one quick search for "Add website to Google" will find you the required link. However, now Google is going to index your website, but this is not enough. If you are interested in getting your website rank high for a given keyword you will need to write some content, obviously, but more importantly you will need backlinks to your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are backlinks? Basically a backlink is a simple hyperlink from a website to your website. Google will see that other websites link to your web appearance and rank you higher on their search engine results. Also this way your website will be crawled more often and indexed more often due to the same reason. Imagine 5000 important websites link to your blog, that means that Google will find your website very important and rank it high on the search engine and you will get indexed a lot more often. But what keywords will Google index you for?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, it will obviously look at your content in the first place, but another very important aspect is the anchor texts of the links that direct the search engine to your website. An anchor text is basically just the text the link contains, so let's say you put up a link on your website to google.com and the text is "Google", so the anchor text in our case is simply "Google".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the key pointers for search engines to index your website are that you will need a lot of backlinks, with an anchor text, obviously containing the keyword you are interested in. But you should be aware that Google is quick to ban your website from the search engine results if it sees that you are all about spamming backlinks on other people's website without absolutely any relation to yours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you need help getting your website indexed there are a variety of services that will help you achieve this, one in particular is the &lt;a href="http://www.nationsubmit.com/5weekseocampaign.php"&gt;5 Week Seo Campaign&lt;/a&gt; brought to you by nationsubmit.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8887155401031246693-5594767370480534144?l=www.nationsubmitblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Nationsubmit/~4/rCUtGdUyZWs" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Nationsubmit/~3/rCUtGdUyZWs/key-pointers-for-search-engines-on.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Todd)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.nationsubmitblog.com/2011/03/key-pointers-for-search-engines-on.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8887155401031246693.post-902956636135542601</guid><pubDate>Sun, 24 Oct 2010 08:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-10-24T05:39:00.711-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">SEO</category><title>Optimizing Your on Page Content for Improved SEO Results</title><description>If you are a webmaster then you will more than likely need to have a well optimized website for the search engines. Almost any new or existing website will benefit from having on page Search engine Optimization done by a professional SEO or Link Building Company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To start with when you are doing your on page optimization you will more than likely need to find out which keywords you want to target in your campaign. Most people will come up with a list of keywords that are relevant for each area of their website. Once you have a list of keywords you will also want to make sure that you have both small keywords along with long tail keywords. Remember when building your website is probably best to focus only specific keywords for each page as it will take less work for you in the long run. For example if you have a pet website you most likely won’t want to have an inner page which is for both “dogs” and “cats” the ideal thing to do is make a separate page for both as this would be smart SEO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you have your list of keywords and all of your website content setup already, you can optimize your content further to increase your search engine rankings. When you have your website content you will want to ensure that within your content your keywords are targeted, meaning that you should have a certain percentage of the content contain your keywords. It would not make much sense if you build a webpage and forget to include any of your keywords as it would be nearly impossible to rank for them in Google or other major search engines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Optimizing your website content is just one area of on page optimization although probably the most important. Other areas of your website that you will want to make sure are setup correctly is your Meta tags for each page. The most important part of the Meta tags is most likely the title; this is the part of the webpage which is displayed in the browser toolbar at the top. This area should incorporate long tail keywords for each page of your website; sometimes you can even include two long tail keywords as long as they are relevant. Another thing that you will want to ensure is that each of your inner pages of your website have relevant Meta tags, I often see webmaster become lazy and just use the same Meta tags for each page of their website. So it would be best to create Meta tags individually for each inner page of your website one by one. Another area of the Meta tags which is often displayed in the search engine results is the description, for the description you will want to write something short but to the point. Make sure when creating the description for each webpage it’s highly optimized to increase the chances of people clicking through to your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many search engine ranking factors that come into play when doing search engine optimization both on page and offpage. To ensure that your website is being optimized professional it would be best to hire someone who does search engine optimization and you will find that one company that has been around quite awhile is Nationsubmit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are looking for a capable SEO provider that has effective methods such as their various &lt;a href="http://www.nationsubmit.com"&gt;link building services&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.nationsubmit.com/articlesub.php"&gt;article submission service&lt;/a&gt; then check out our site over at nationsubmit.com.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8887155401031246693-902956636135542601?l=www.nationsubmitblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Nationsubmit/~4/lJoI33NevuI" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Nationsubmit/~3/lJoI33NevuI/optimizing-your-on-page-content-for.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Todd)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.nationsubmitblog.com/2010/10/optimizing-your-on-page-content-for.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8887155401031246693.post-8173950699566296812</guid><pubDate>Mon, 11 Oct 2010 10:59:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-10-11T04:01:34.291-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">blog posting service</category><title>Blog Posting Service: Don’t get it Confused</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9qEvQuOOOVo/TLLudQdg-5I/AAAAAAAAACk/gZeg-5Lr6Sg/s1600/blogs.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9qEvQuOOOVo/TLLudQdg-5I/AAAAAAAAACk/gZeg-5Lr6Sg/s200/blogs.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526741879139400594" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Blog posting service is a unique type of service where many people may first get it confused when they see it. They may actually think it’s for someone with a blog where they will post your blog to other directories or websites when it’s actually much different than that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The blog posting services main purpose is to increase backlinks and exposure for your articles. The blog posting service will consist of posting an article to other blogs that may or may not have pagerank. While this service is similar to the article submission service the main difference is your article is not posted to article directories but to blogs. When getting your article posted to blogs you will also find that your article will be on the main page of the blog for a period of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most blog posting services will consist of getting your article posted on blogs from anywhere from 50-1000 blogs. You will have to ensure that the provider you are purchasing the service from is not using worthless blogs which have just been created. There are a few providers which put back profit made into all of their blogs and also use different C-Class Ips, you may even find that some providers will have blogs with pagerank available. Another benefit of the blog posting service is that its 100% acceptance on the blogs because in most cases the provider of the service will own all of the blogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some webmasters may be concerned with the ethical effect of blog posting; there is no worry about having negative effects from the blog posting service because it’s quite the same thing as posting your article to many article directories. Another reason you do not have to worry about any negative effects is because many of the blogs are on different C-Class ips.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;By writing a creative article which would relate to your targeted keywords and posting it to the blog posting service you will find that this is another way to increase your efforts into your off page search engine optimization campaign. When writing an article whether yourself or hiring a professional writer most of the services will allow you to use anywhere up to 3 links in the article, this is a great way to utilize different urls and keywords for your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if you’re looking for a reliable and effective &lt;a href="http://www.nationsubmit.com/blog.php"&gt;blog posting service&lt;/a&gt; you will find that nationsubmit.com has been offering this service the past 3 years and have made improvements and features in the last year to make it even more effective.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8887155401031246693-8173950699566296812?l=www.nationsubmitblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Nationsubmit/~4/tDj-vKupBCQ" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Nationsubmit/~3/tDj-vKupBCQ/blog-posting-service-dont-get-it.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Todd)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9qEvQuOOOVo/TLLudQdg-5I/AAAAAAAAACk/gZeg-5Lr6Sg/s72-c/blogs.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.nationsubmitblog.com/2010/10/blog-posting-service-dont-get-it.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8887155401031246693.post-3303139570603820557</guid><pubDate>Tue, 28 Sep 2010 17:38:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-09-28T10:39:35.668-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">SEO</category><title>A few factors to look at when Choosing an SEO Provider</title><description>If you’re a webmaster than eventually you may have to look for a company that does link building services or search engine optimization. Although you will not be able to just choose any SEO provider that offers link building services, there are a few factors that you should keep in mind before diving into the SEO process with a company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The biggest factor in choosing an SEO company is the integrity of the company that you are looking to work with. You will find that many SEO companies have many ways of lying or taking short cuts when doing work with them. This is very common with many SEO companies who may promise something to you but actually there isn’t a sure way to check if they are lying or not. So the hardest part is how does one decide if a company has integrity or not? Well really there is no easy way but a few tips to help you build trust with a provider is by asking many questions about the service, if they seem to be nervous or do not give straight answers this may be a sign that either their lying or not confident about their service. Another great way to build trust with a link building company Is you could even speak with them over the phone or on Skype to get a better idea of who you are dealing with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another factor which can be important to most people, especially in today’s economy is the rates that they charge for their services. Obviously many people will choose an SEO provider that offers the best service for the highest value… But you may want to read the previous paragraph if this is the case. You may find a lot of companies do charge reasonable rates but if they seem too high they should at least be a reputable Search engine optimization company. One thing that I appreciate is those companies that offer discounts on larger packages, this is a good way to save money when ordering larger packages as a lot of webmasters need it for their campaign.&lt;br /&gt;These are just a few of the biggest factors when choosing an SEO or link building service company. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Post courtesy of Nationsubmit.com and their&lt;a href="http://www.nationsubmit.com/combo.php"&gt;link building package&lt;/a&gt;s.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8887155401031246693-3303139570603820557?l=www.nationsubmitblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Nationsubmit/~4/NJlFP6GJ7k8" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Nationsubmit/~3/NJlFP6GJ7k8/few-factors-to-look-at-when-choosing.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Todd)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.nationsubmitblog.com/2010/09/few-factors-to-look-at-when-choosing.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8887155401031246693.post-6753663960989328465</guid><pubDate>Fri, 03 Sep 2010 08:58:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-09-03T02:02:04.420-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">white hat SEO</category><title>Keeping Your White Hat SEO Clean From Black Hat SEO</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9qEvQuOOOVo/TIC5grJWKMI/AAAAAAAAACc/7SQPiIYLyCc/s1600/whitehat.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 168px; height: 168px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9qEvQuOOOVo/TIC5grJWKMI/AAAAAAAAACc/7SQPiIYLyCc/s200/whitehat.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512609914890365122" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As most webmasters should know there are two different types of approaches you can take when doing search engine optimization, there is black hat SEO and white hat SEO and even a middle ground considered gray hat. As tempting as it may seem black hat SEO while may get you results quicker and also greater results all the while saving you money will have short lasting effects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now days there are many new ways for Black hat SEO which you should be aware of to avoid if you wish to keep your websites rankings strong over the years. Many of the older methods you will not find in use now days just because many search engines have improved to devalue these methods quickly some of them include doorway pages, invisible text and duplicate sites all just to manipulate rankings and earnings. But now days the Black hat methods have became tougher for the search engines to detect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot of the black hat methods which are used today are via automated tools which spam many various community sites forums and blogs with the goal to create content with backlinks coming from thousands of domains. Another method you will find is tools that automatically spin content to create 100’s of articles just from one article… while it seems very easy but doesn’t give much reader benefit this is what makes it useless to others. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some white hat methods which you can do to avoid getting into black hat are creating unique content like articles, meaningful discussions on blogs, press release articles, directory submissions which include various titles and descriptions and many other methods are all white hat. In the long run white hat will definitely conquer over black hat since search engines are always trying to stay ahead of these spamming methods of link building.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will find if you use black hat methods you are also risking getting your website either sandboxed in Google for a period of time or even de-indexed from Google indefinitely until you request reconsideration from Google via the webmaster tools. Many also may argue that if that could happen wouldn’t my competitors do black hat for my site just to get ahead of me in rankings? Technically no but if Google did find specific pieces of information which led them to believe you are doing black hat you could risk it and also at the very least all the black hat link building you did would be devalued completely to be useless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In summary, it's best to put all of your efforts into white hat SEO methods so you can be sure that the work your doing for your site is ethical and while may be slower to progress in the search engines but overall you can feel better about the work that is being done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Nation submit, you can be sure that you are receiving only white hat SEO methods if you order some of their &lt;a href="http://www.nationsubmit.com/"&gt;link building services&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8887155401031246693-6753663960989328465?l=www.nationsubmitblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Nationsubmit/~4/oh1-m9g0dBM" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Nationsubmit/~3/oh1-m9g0dBM/keeping-your-white-hat-seo-clean-from.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Todd)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9qEvQuOOOVo/TIC5grJWKMI/AAAAAAAAACc/7SQPiIYLyCc/s72-c/whitehat.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.nationsubmitblog.com/2010/09/keeping-your-white-hat-seo-clean-from.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8887155401031246693.post-445550059141699416</guid><pubDate>Sun, 29 Aug 2010 01:11:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-08-28T18:12:32.254-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Link Building</category><title>Being Aggressive with your Link Building Pays off</title><description>I seem to find that many webmasters seem to think that by doing SEO or link building every once in awhile they think that their site will be ranked well in the search engines but the truth is that it takes a lot of work and continuous work to get your site at the top of the search engines. Although this isn’t true for all webmasters but I do seem to notice a lot of people think this way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing that I’ve noticed is that people seem to give up on their site often times when they see no results, everything you do for your site often doesn’t have an immediate effect and some people may lose confidence and give up altogether, but if you keep aggressive with your link building for your site you will find out that it will pay off in the long run. And in 2010 it’s much easier to find new ways to promote your website via backlinks with all of the new social sites, like facebook, digg and other various community sites that may relate to your sites niche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One example that I can give to be aggressive is by mixing up the type of links you are getting when you do decide to do some link building or offpage SEO… for example if you decide to write a new article for your website then submit it to article directories instead of just doing that you could also bookmark the published article on some various other social bookmarking websites to further increase the exposure of that article. That will also help get your site 3rd tier backlinks, 3rd tier backlinks are basically a link that goes to another page with your backlink on it. One other thing you could do is with the same article you could get it posted on some blog networks, you will find that there is also some people who allow you to host your article on their blog or even purchase a blog posting service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another part to increase your website exposure is by opening up an twitter account for your site and even a blog. This is a great way to have clients or customers follow you and you could give updates on twitter and on your blog you could write about your product or services to give your audience a great understanding about your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the long run any webmaster who updates, runs link building campaigns and off page SEO will be ahead of those who are not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nationsubmit has many affordable link building services like their &lt;a href="http://www.nationsubmit.com/blog.php"&gt;blog posting service&lt;/a&gt; which will help your website increase backlinks and improve your rankings.

Even by having a perfect on page optimization without doing off page SEO you will be losing most of the benefit. This article will go over the important aspects of using the various off page optimization techniques also known as link building or link popularity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first part of off page optimization is to ensure that you have some variety with all of your link building, it’s important not to use only one method of link building or use the same exact keywords every time. The reason being is that Google will think of it as spam if they see the same keywords linking to your site and it will not look natural as if another webmaster actually added the link to yours. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One good example of this would be to one week you would write two articles that are focusing on the same topics but when you use the links in your resource box you would vary the anchor texts up a bit so instead of using “dog beds” as the anchor texts in both articles the other article would be “dog bedding” linking to your website. This gives the inbound links to your site a little more and will also help improve other keyword rankings for your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another important aspect of using different methods is to change up the type of inbound links that you are receiving instead of focusing strictly on article directory backlinks as an example  you could try to get some links via press release sites, social bookmarking sites or even from a community forums all using some variation in the anchor texts. Now although some variety in your anchor texts is good but do not over do it and use 100% unique anchor texts as this will make it very hard to rank for any one of them. Instead come up with a list of maybe 10-12 different anchor texts that you wish to rank for and rotate them every time you plan to do link building for your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should also ensure that when you are coming up with a list of anchor texts you should remember which part of your site these should link to... you do not want to use an anchor text for an inner page of your site that has no relevance because Google will factor this in when ranking you for that keyword. One easy way to check this is by looking at the page you are targeting and doing a keyword density check even if it’s not an exact match but you have at least one of the words that do match. You could even go to that page and edit the content to ensure that the keywords on page are relevant to the anchor texts you choose off page.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;So in review by having your off page and on page optimization match by utilizing different inbound link methods is a vital part of Search Engine Optimization. If you follow some of these methods it will help your website achieve good rankings for the anchor texts that you are targeting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Post by nationsubmit.com..

Sure you can just hire the first article writer you find because you find they charge reasonable rates but 80% of the time you will get articles that have poor grammar or English. In this article I will go over a few tips so that you can make it an easier task in finding a quality writer for your website needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the most important aspects in finding a capable writer is ensuring that their English is at least above average. You will find that around 75% of the time that most writers that are looking for article writing work are people that English is not their native language, the reason being is they will charge a much lower rate than most professional writers. Although the low rate that they charge can be tempting the quality of the content you will receive back will reflect that. So it’s important you do not sacrifice quality just to save a few bucks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing that you should inquire about the writer you are looking to hire is find out how well versed they are in various topics. Some writers may specialize in certain topics where others are much more versatile and can write on almost any topic with the right amount of research. While the latter may be beneficial to those clients who need a wide range of topics the writer who specializes in specific topics can also be beneficial if they are knowledgeable in the topics that you need written. You also may be lucky to get a writer with professional credentials; the ideal writer is someone who is currently in college and getting their degree in English. I myself have been lucky enough to find writers that are getting their bachelors in English, these are ideal because those going to college are looking for extra money and also to put to use their academics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last part I will talk about and sometimes important to the client looking to hire the writer are the writing fees. You will find that most writers will charge writing work by the word, the most common rates they will charge for article writing is anywhere from $0.01 - $0.03 per word which would equal to anywhere from $5-15 per a 500 word article. Some writers will offer discounts If you do order 5-10 or more articles, if you can find a decent writer that charges $5 per article then you would be considered lucky but in most cases you can expect to get decent 500 word articles from $8-12. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep in mind these various tips when choosing an article writer to do work for you, and remember not to just hire anyone without asking a few questions and request to see some of their previous article writing work that is also already published somewhere on the internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;post written by nationsubmit.com check our their &lt;a href="http://www.nationsubmit.com/articlesub.php"&gt;article writing and submission service&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8887155401031246693-1532983087771918267?l=www.nationsubmitblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Nationsubmit/~4/1n63APSYtnY" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Nationsubmit/~3/1n63APSYtnY/few-tips-on-hiring-article-or-content.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Todd)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.nationsubmitblog.com/2010/08/few-tips-on-hiring-article-or-content.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8887155401031246693.post-5095593540081361408</guid><pubDate>Mon, 23 Aug 2010 14:44:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-08-23T07:46:44.132-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Link Building</category><title>The Different Types of Cost Effective Link Building</title><description>Now days there is an increasing number of ways to build backlinks to your website, everyone that has a site should know that link building is critical in achieving success on the web. In this article ill go over a few ways to build backlinks that are basically free and only will cost you your free time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first technique of building backlinks to your website I will discuss are using social bookmarking sites, bookmarking websites are social sites similar to digg or stumbleupon. What is the purpose of these sites? These are sites where you submit a particular webpage, news page or even a blog post. Now the reason these are helpful is because not only when you submit your site to these you are gaining extra backlinks but they also will help increase your traffic for a period of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep in mind when submitting your site to these social sites you should submit something that has content worth reading.. For example submit a piece of news information about a product or informative details about a product you sell. Every social site is free of charge to submit a website URL or blog post to so this is a good way to build backlinks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next way of building backlinks is through article directory sites, this is an effective way to write about articles that are related to your website and you can then submit them to article directories. 98% of article directories are free of charge to submit articles to so all it costs is the time to write the article and submitting your article to them. Most article directories will allow you to use 1-3 links within the article resource box, this is usually the bottom part of the article where you can put your credentials and the links with anchor texts. Not only will you gain backlinks through this technique but you also have a chance to become a valuable writer on topics that relate to your websites niche which also helps you gain extra traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next technique to build backlinks is by utilizing the various press release sites. These are very similar to the article directory sites but there are a few key differences. The press release sites accept press release "articles" these are usually in a format that is more of a news piece then an informative article. When submitting your press release you can expect that they are indexed in Google much quicker then articles and these also give your site improved authority. Another benefit of submitting a press release is often times your press release can show up in Google news for keywords that related to your press release. The only downside to the press releases is that they are short lived in Google news results since Google places fresh news first. So if you have a new product/service or anything new to announce for your website writing and submitting a press release is a great way to promote it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are just a few of the link building techniques that are worth doing, there are many other link building techniques that are free to do. The ones that I have discussed here I feel are some of the most efficient ways of doing link building and also will not cost you any money to do. Remember that being aggressive with your link building is an efficient way of keeping your website ranked up in the search engines, if you do link building for your site remember to write new articles and do link building on an ongoing basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Post from nationsubmit.com, if you are looking for a link building service provider then nationsubmit has many effective &lt;a href="http://www.nationsubmit.com/combo.php"&gt;link building packages&lt;/a&gt; to help your website rank well on the web.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8887155401031246693-5095593540081361408?l=www.nationsubmitblog.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Nationsubmit/~4/DKw7vpZqHTM" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Nationsubmit/~3/DKw7vpZqHTM/different-types-of-cost-effective-link.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Todd)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.nationsubmitblog.com/2010/08/different-types-of-cost-effective-link.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8887155401031246693.post-798455639690584069</guid><pubDate>Sat, 21 Aug 2010 18:44:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-08-21T11:50:35.799-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Link Building</category><title>5 Reasons why Link Building is Necessary for your website</title><description>With such a large competition in today's online market everyone is looking for new ways to get an edge on their competitors.
