How to get backlink from Wikipedia

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Mon, 10 Feb 2014 07:41:00 +0000

Sometimes back one reader of this blog asked me a question - ‘How powerful is a backlink from Wikipedia?’ Seems to be convinced and motivated with my answer, he told me he would try to acquire a backlink from Wikipedia for his own website. Since then I never heard from that person again, may be he is still trying!

If you are reading this, you may think I am trying to discourage you from getting backlink from wikipedia. Actually I am only addressing the reality. Being the biggest open source board of information online, Wikipedia, is indeed the last frontier of every SEO/Marketer/Link builder. Anyone with prior experience in this particular field will know what exactly I am trying to refer when I am using ‘last frontier’.

How powerful is Wikipedia

If I say it would be the strongest backlink that any website could get, you can surely understand the real value of a wikipedia backlink. Although the wikipedia backlink is not dofollow in nature, still it can alter your keyword ranking a big way. One of the reasons why it happens can be deduced from the fact - wikipedia holds the top position in Google search for over 90% of all its queries that gets worldwide. From this data, it is quite evident that Google thinks wikipedia to be the most authoritative website on internet. And getting a backlink from there will definitely do well for your own website’s ranking.

So how to get ‘The’ backlink

Getting the backlink from Wikipedia is quite easy and extremely difficult simultaneously. It’s easy because you can always create wikipedia account for free, contribute to the website and publish your own articles. At the same time wikipedia is very strongly moderated and if you found spamming you will be banned immediately and what’s more your IP will be backlisted forever. So you have to be very careful.

As I mentioned earlier it is quite an easy job, I would only guide you to that easy route only. And I am quite sure that you can successfully get the wikipedia backlink if you follow my guide as described.

First of all you need to create your account there and contribute (edit existing articles) in order to gain the reliability. It will take some time and you need to be patient throughout this time. Once you have edited decent number of existing articles in Wikipedia, you need to search for articles relevant to your own website. After that you can edit that article again and add your website URL as citation. After your modification you need to wait for the review period (usually 1 week to 15 days). If you can successfully pass this time period (you would), your job will be completed. And you can notice the positive result on your website ranking almost immediately.

How can You Use Yahoo Answers to Grow your Online Business

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:34:00 +0000

With 15 million users visiting this leading question answer portal on daily basis, Yahoo Answers have to have decent opportunities for online business. And surely it has. No doubt the amount of traffic Yahoo Answers receives is immense which also made it world’s Fifth (5th) largest Social network. Now that is an achievement really, when big guns like Facebook, Twitter etc are already in that same league!

Why Yahoo Answers is different?

When it comes to Yahoo Answers marketing, the job is altogether different from other internet marketing tasks you have done or came across. Why? Simply because of the users who are participating on that community and their approach towards this website. That is what makes Yahoo Answers marketing so much interesting and profitable for the online business as well. Let put some examples to clarify –

Users are in Problem and..

In internet marketing there is a perception – “a problem creates niche”. Bigger the problem more is the potential of niche. And Yahoo Answers is the major hub of problems on online, every user has their problems. So theoretically each yahoo question is equivalent to one niche. As you can see for a competitive keyword like “weight loss” and keyword combinations; yahoo answers URL rank on top of Google SERP. Moreover it is also noticed people prefer to click on those link than other normal websites. So if you can do the Yahoo Answers marketing properly, it will be your biggest arsenal over your online business competitors.

How to proceed?
At first you need to know the Yahoo Answers system properly. Within 1 minute a whopping number of 55 questions are posted on the community (you can get a rough idea of huge potential of Yahoo answers from these numbers itself). After making the profile you should concentrate to achieve the level 2, so that you can post live URL of your website which you are promoting.

Getting the Best Answer
Make sure the answer is detailed and actually useful for the users who have posted that question. It will also help you to get the Best answer. It is noticed a typical question on Yahoo Answers gets 7 answers on an average. And Best answer helps your website to get the required highlightation as it placed on the top of all answers. You should really work hard in order to achieve the Best answer status for most of your answers. It will also increase the credibility of Yahoo Answers profile. Last but not the least do not use your website URL in your every answers. If you do so, your profile will soon be suspended.

If you have your success stories with Yahoo Answers to share with readers, please keep them coming through comments.

Why you should Focus on Social Media – A Post Penguin Revelation

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Sat, 25 Aug 2012 08:02:00 +0000

‘Social influence’, ‘social sharing’ these are some terms, that you are listening quite frequently after Google rolled its Penguin Update. People specially the webmasters are spending more time in social media sites like facebook, twitter etc, in an attempt to improve online branding. And being a webmaster for several years, I am also experiencing the impact of social influence on my website’s ranking as well. That’s why I decided to enlighten interested readers about this latest phenomenon on search engine optimization. Also please note this is very much my personal insight; you may or may not agree with every aspects that I will highlight, and that is not essential either!

In various instances Google has made it clear that it is trying to be ‘more human’ with its search algorithm. Why? Because in that way it will be able to understand what searchers actually wants and accordingly Google will digg out the most appropriate results. As a consequence it is very much crucial for Google to understand the human psychology better. And we are pretty much aware about the fact that human is a social creature. So the connection between search algorithm and social influence was always there as a part of ranking factors, even when there was no Google Penguin!

Why is this buzz so prominent now? You may ask. Well, let me inform although the social sharing influence was there within the Google’s ranking algorithm way before Penguin, but this influence has only strengthened after the awake of Google Penguin. This change was always on the card and it did not surprise me at all! Because Google noticed people are spending more time on social networks than before and it was inevitable that Google has to include these social signals into its algorithm if it wanted to provide the same (or better) relevant results in search results for which it is well-known on internet.

What you should do then? I know this is the most vital question that is coming to your mind if you are a webmaster or looking after online marketing activities of some websites. You will notice some online marketing tactics are not working that efficiently and at the same time there are ‘something’ which are working magically after Google Penguin. You have to figure those out and see which is working and which is not. There may be also certain situations when you will notice some tactics are working quite well for some niche/website but that same activities are not yielding results for other websites! These conditions are very much likely to occur after Google Penguin (I am personally witnessing these phenomenon). But there is nothing to worry about these changes as Search engine optimization tactics are still working strong if you know how to use them!

Effective Link Building Strategy after Google Penguin Update

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Sat, 09 Jun 2012 07:02:00 +0000

So your website (s) was also hit by the recent Penguin update from Google! You are not alone!, Most of the webmasters who were using traditional link building methods for their off page SEO, got hit by this crucial algorithm update from Google on 24th April this year. Also the websites which were using blackhat techniques got severely slapped. And if you are hoping to get solution for your lost ranking issue then I must confess – you are absolutely right!

Why Penguin?

Before I tell you the effective link building strategy after Google Penguin, you must know why this algorithm change actually took place. The primary reason behind this update was to encounter the automated blackhat link building process. Also the quality of backlink was another major issue on which this update was processed.

I got Hit, what to Do??

Lets accept the fact that your website had some shady (unnatural) issue. In most chance your backlink profile seemed ‘unnatural’ to the eye of Google. And if you want to recover from Penguin, your need to repair that damage as much as you can. So how to go about it? Here are the ways –

‘Quality over quantity’ – you may have heard this phrase several times, including in this post also! But to what extent you have implemented, is the main concern. Definitely you need to implement it now after the Google penguin. But how?

As I stated before also, your backlink profile should look natural in the eye of Google. Keeping that in mind, you need to adopt only those link building methods which will not look spammy, and most importantly Google should not think that you are actually doing any link building for your website! Is it really feasible? Yes it is!

Google seems to give more importance to social backlink these days, specially after they them self launched Google plus. Now if you are smart enough, you should be able to understand the trend. Yes you need to build a strong social influence through facebook, twitter and others, if you haven’t done that already.

Look for unconventional link building techniques – advantage of these link building strategies is that Google may not ‘trace’ as artificial link building. One such strategy which you can look for is guest posting. Also while guest posting try to acquire in-content links, as author bio backlink may not be that effective as it is easily ‘traceable’ by Google bot.

Relevant blog commenting is another effective link building technique which has become more powerful after Google Penguin. While commenting try to avoid keyword in name field, as it looks artificial; hence easily detectable. To get the maximum benefit from blog commenting, you can insert your link within comment body whenever applicable; without defacing the primary essence.

Also do not ignore the traditional link building mechanism such as directory submission, social bookmarking etc. They are equally important as they were. But the main issue which you need to care about after the Google penguin – is diversifying your backlink profile as much as you can.

Can Google plus compete with Facebook? A Realistic approach

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 17:34:00 +0000

Refer to the post when I made a bold statement by saying "Facebook on the rise Google slipping its grip". At that time many readers did not agree with me. But from the date of posting that topic, Google has continuously loosen battle to Facebook. And it realized quickly that some real steps needs to be taken to stop Facebook avalanche. And it did actually; with a weapon called Google plus (G+). Now G+ is open in public, the war between Google and Facebook is completely explicit. But is there any real reason for Facebook to worry about G+?

I would given different answer, if I myself was not a G+ users. But answer to that one of the most asked question today is 'Yes'; Facebook need to worry about the G+ rapid advancement. You may say, Google previously tried several social networks like Google Buzz that failed enormously, what is different with G+?

There are variety of differences. First of all when Google released (rather 'Experimented') social network like Google Plus its popularity on the internet was not challenged. Google knew if the 'experiment' fails then also it would still be the biggest power on internet. Now do a quick time machine journey to come back to present. For last couple of years, the Facebook has eaten up the dominance of Google in several parts around the world. And it is threatening Google in some major countries in North America and West Europe. Also Facebook made it clear that it would like to enter the search market as well, by joining with another Google rival Bing.

Now that is quite threatening for company like Google, whose primary internet business is search market. Google did not pay much attention when Yahoo and Bing joined hand or when Baidu made strategic search relationship with Bing. But when Facebook, the major rival wished to enter the search market, Google sensed danger. So it planned to hit Facebook on its arsenal i.e. social network. Also Google is experienced enough to recognize the future trend of search market, which is slowly but steadily moving towards social search. So for Google, it was almost necessary to step big foot on this market. Also the stage was almost set for Google plus. Why?

Because Google was aware that many facebook users were complaining about the changes that were made recently, be it miserable Chatting experience or latest makeover. Google was silently watching all these and was planning the perfect launching pad. And Google plus indeed was the perfect launching pad for Google. You will see that all the pitfalls of Facebook was taken into account in Google+. So now it is time for only the real internet battle for dominance. And we must enjoy it all the way from starts and until it finishes (though I have doubt if it will end or not). So here we go..

Google new Pagerank Algorithm Update: 6 Useful Tips

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 17:00:00 +0000

On June 27th, the webmasters around the world has witnessed one of most buzzing "PageRank Update" in recent history. Some highlights of this interesting update were -
PR of Google itself- which is down to 9 from 10.
And a custom blogspot blogger getting PR 8 from 0.

These two facts are enough to assume that Google may have implemented major change in its Pagerank algorithm. And after nearly 15 days of mini research and surveys, I have no doubt declaring - 'Yes Google's PageRank algorithm update is reality.' It may have hit some webmasters badly. But in order to make yourself acquainted with new Pagerank algorithm, you need to know the whole thing again.

Why this Change?
Before you get to know the latest pagerank algorithm, you should know the exact reasons why Google has gone through such robust changes in its Pagerank algorithm.
You can say Google was caught in its own trap! How?
You know that some years back Google invented the 'nofollow' attribute for comment spamming. Though By implementing 'nofollow' attribute, the issue of comment spamming was controlled to some extent, but there was developing another bigger problem. That was directly connected to the Google's unique search algorithm. The main problem, Google was facing natural referencing often got the 'nofollow' attribute, which Google never expected.

To adjust yourself with the new PR algorithm, you should concentrate on these six tips-

1)Nofollow attribute: Nofollow links has come with a bang. As a result of this unexpected change, links with nofollow attribute can not be overlooked now. Some websites, with only nofollow backlinks has got a PR rise after this update, which only strengthen my view.

2)In content Dofollow: Though it still have value, but it priority has been lowered as Google is noticing 'In-content Dofollow link' trading is only increasing.

3)Directory links: Some gurus are making rubbish statement by saying Directory links are no longer important. But that are only applicable for low quality directories. Directory like Dmoz will always have its value.

4)Social Backlinks: Though social links comes with natural 'nofollow', it has its effect on PR. So never ignore facebook, twitter, linkedin backlinks.

5)Forum Links: Due to dofollow forum signature spamming, Google has lowered the value of links, which you get from forum signature.

6)Inner navigation: Your URL structure and navigation of your website also will have more effect on PR from now on. So make sure your website's URLs are crawl-able and search engine friendly.

I hope these tips will help you to understand the Google's new Pagerank algorithm. I have just briefed the major points here for a quick overview.

II) Bing gives more importance to social links (backlinks) than Google. So ensure you are having lot of social backlinks linking back to your website.

End of Google Era?Internet:On the Edge of a Major change

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 12:52:00 +0000

Internet never sleeps. So are its users around the world. From its journey to till date internet has seen many volatile changes. This change was only possible for its users; to be more specific, for their growing demands. Usually internet users don’t foresee the imminent change. But there is a common pattern of the change, Interestingly that pattern is once again visible!

In the early ages, Internet meant Lycos. In those times, nobody could imagine internet without Lycos. But after the Yahoo conquered the internet, the scenario completely changed. Every other users of internet almost forgot Lycos. And it was Yahoo all over. Then Google came and within couple of years Google became synonyms of internet. Today Yahoo is just a shadow of the past.

I think you are now getting the picture quite clear; “the changing pattern”. Whenever one major internet technology comes, the users engross it completely forgetting the predecessor. We are once again verge of such change. As Facebook is growing at a lightening rate, importance of it is also increasing from business point of view also. In many parts of the globe, Facebook has already overtaken Google. And they are doing it at an aggressive growth.

If these trends continue, Google is in deep danger for sure. Though from the logical point it seems pretty unrealistic (Google still holds 40% of total internet), but if the “changing pattern” is to be followed it may not be that impractical either! Because “Time spent” on Facebook is much greater than that of Google; for this reason cumulative time spent on Facebook is quite high. If this parameter is to be followed, Facebook is already famous than Google! So what next? Watch out for a complete shift in the world of Internet.

Want massive traffic from Bing? Follow these simple Rules

Statcounter recently released its report on search market share. The report says Bing now stands second in US search market after Google. That means Bing has overtaken Yahoo for the first time.

To rank high on Bing, first you need to know the basic functionality of Bing’s search orientation such that; how it indexes, importance of backlinks etc (Discover SEO Secrets of Bing). You don’t need all exact data but data which are essential for you to rank high on Bing. And they are-

Keyword Rich Title

Majority of SEO experts around the globe agreed that title tag of website is most important SEO factor for high ranking in Bing results. So to rank high in Bing results you should concentrate to make a keyword rich title for best result. But don't stuff your title with exhaustive keyword, which will be considered as spamming.

URL

URL is the second most SEO factor in Bing. Don't quiet understand right? Though it is very strange, but yes Bing give much importance to URL. I personally noticed it during my intensive searching. So give the due importance to link structure of your website/blog.

Meta Description

Google trims meta description for descriptive ones but not Bing. If you use descriptive meta description then Bing may show it in a un professional way which may not go along with your goal. So for a better result use short meta description (not more than 180 characters)

Link building not so Important

Bing does not have the concept of PageRank. So backlinks are not so important as it was the case in Google. Though Bing have concept of TrustRank, but it is not solely dependent on backlinks.

.gov,.edu links

Bing depend on these two links while building the TrustRank factor. So find some dead websites list and ask the moderator to replace those links with yours.

If you are not aware about Dmoz’s importance regarding SEO perspective, then quickly go through the key features of Dmoz listing from the view point of search engine optimization and Google PageRank.

First of all it may sound bit odd, but difficulties of Dmoz listing makes it more valuable to webmaster. No other web directories in internet receive such massive listing request that Dmoz gets.

Next big thing of Dmoz is that it is the unofficial web directory of Google. And you possibly understand the dominance of Google in search world. So it’s not a big surprise that Google gives so much weight to Dmoz listing.

Link (s) from Dmoz is considered the most powerful backlink, that a website can ever obtain. A Dmoz lising can boost your PageRank as well as the search engine ranking.

If you are serious enough to see your website’s URL in Dmoz then you must follow these information, which I am going to share. Successful Dmoz listing requires that you should, not only read the Dmoz’s guidelines but also understand what they are actually trying you to understand!

Step One: Submitting links to normal web directory and Dmoz listing is not same. If you go alike at Dmoz, you will be penalized.

Appropriate Category selection: Choosing the right category for your Dmoz listing is the most key criteria. But finding the appropriate category and which is fruitful at the same time is not an easy task. Be specific about your selection. If you are to submit a "weight loss" website then be as appropriate that you can. Don't submit it to Business category.

Single Sentence Description: To be listed in Dmoz, it is very important to create a single line description only for Dmoz. Don't just copy and paste your meta description from view source.

Tight Title: Using long title in Dmoz listing is a suicidal step. Use a keyword rich (possibly main keyword or URL which is appropriate) steep title for Dmoz.

Less Competition Category: Submitting your website to a category which has many listing is not considered a clever step. You should be able to find a category which has less crowd as well as appropriate at the same time. Submitting your website to such category increases your chance of listing.

That's all you need to keep in mind while submitting website to Dmoz. If you follow these steps your chances of getting listed in Dmoz will be high.

Getting to Google Top part 3|Build Backlinks Easily

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 06:42:00 +0000

In the previous two posts I told you about the basics of SEO i.e.

Competition Analysis and Keyword selection , where I discussed the importance of competition analysis and proper keyword selection.

Then I briefly guided you how to implement those analyzed data for best results; in the topic Optimizing your On-page elements for Google

Now it's the turn of most important part of SEO i.e Building Backlinks to your website which comes under Off-page SEO. I will cover the PR issue, Quantity of backlinks and how to measure the quality of Backlinks to your website/blog. I will give you some suggestion regarding "Availing free Backlinks" for your website/blog at the end of this topic.

PageRank and Search result

You may be amazed to know how PageRank (Commonly known as PR, the idea of PR was create by Google co-founder Larry page) can alter the search results in Google. To understand the significance of PR, I will give you a real time example. Suppose two different webpages with same on-page elements (identical content, title etc) are trying to rank one in Google for a keyword. Then how will Google distinguish those pages? Here comes the importance of PR. In this case, the one with higher PR will get the preference in search result.

Now the obvious question comes; How Google determines the PR for a webpage?

To simplify; PR of a webpage is determined by how other websites "vote" (both quantity and quality counts) for that webpage. Here the term vote is referred as "link". Higher the number of links; higher the PR of that website. PR of a website can not exceed 10 as PR is measured on a scale of 0 to 10.

Quality Matters

When calculating PR of a website/blog; quality of backlinks matter not quantity. Let me explain it bit further. Suppose your website has a "backlinks" from a PR 8 or higher and also from a PR 1 website. In both cases you have one backlink but the importance of first link is higher. May be 100 such links from second source will not be equivalent to first one. That's why Dmoz listing (Dmoz listing Secrets)is considered so much important for webmaster.

Getting Backlinks for your Website/Blog

Getting backlinks to your website/blog is most significant part from the Off-page SEO perspective. Availing quality backlinks to your website helps you to increase your PR which in returns improve your search engine ranking. But the obvious question that arises is "How can you gain the backlinks?". Let me discuss your concern.

Most easy and simple process of obtaining handful of backlinks is to create "Unique & Quality" content; which will generate reference link to your content. What's most promising factor of this method is that it's a never ending process. That means you can expect backlinks from that content in near future as well.

There is a con this option also which is , it is only viable for content rich website/blog. This method holds good for service oriented website also. Then what about those site which has neither of this?

For them Directory is better option. Submit your website to as many directories you can afford. Be cautious about "Auto directory submission service". Also be aware about the "Paid submission" because Google may penalize you.

Free Backlinks

In this section I will list all websites from where you can get free backlinks to your website/blog

1. www.dmoz.org This is the most influential in terms of upgrading your website's PR value. While listing your website pay close attention to proper category selection for your website. It will take at least 1 month for listing in Dmoz (List your Website Fast to Dmoz). Once your website is listed in Dmoz you can expect 100% hike in your traffic from search engine.

For more list of free directories search in Google with keyword "free directory". You will get a list of websites where you can list your website to boost your PageRank.

Getting to Google Top part 2:Optimize On-page Elements

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 11:37:00 +0000

After completing the competitors analysis for your niche, time has come to implement those analyzed data into your website. If you have not gone through the crucial post about Analyzing your competitor to the Core, then you must enjoy it.

On page analysis include four important aspects i.e.

1. Title of your website/blog

2. Link Structure of your website/blog

3. Content of your website/blog

4. Meta description of your website/blog

I will serially discuss one after another; so that you can efficiently use these elements to optimize your website/blog for Google results. How can you do this? Watch out the next section!

Optimize Title tag

For ranking high in Google "Title" is the single most important on-page factor. So if you want to rank number one on Google, then you must be able to use keyword rich and optimized title tag in your website/blog. How can you optimize the title for best result? I will tell you now. For that I will take the previous example of http://www.freeonlinecouponforall.com/ again, you may remember our main keyword was "free coupon". To rank well for that keyword, we must optimize the use of "free coupon" in website/blog's title tag. To experience the best result you must include your website's title within 65 characters(this data has been derived from intense research). You must not separate the keywords in title tag by using word like and,or etc; instead you may use the "|" character for optimization purpose. In the above example an optimized title would be "Free online coupon| Get gift coupon free".

Optimize Link structure

Next comes the "link structure" of your website/blog. Your website's link must be "human readable". What's that meant. Let me explain the matter with help of a example. Suppose your website contain a page with the link http://www.freeonlinecouponforall.com/index.html=search_items?=christmas_coupon, but that is not a kind of link structure from which a human can understand, what he/she can expect from the link. But if the link structure is modified to http://www.freeonlinecouponforall.com/search/christmas_coupon/, then visitor can easily comprehend the subject of the specified link. The latter link is much optimized for search result.

Content

Content is king, you have heard this thing million times. And it is not untrue! To rank well in search result, your website/blog's content must be optimized for your keyword. That does not mean you stuff your content only with keywords. That also does not imply, your content should be keyword less! But you should mix your content and keyword well; like mixing spice with chicken! You must know the right proportionate to sell your content to search engines. The right balance for ranking well in search result is about 3-4% keyword and rest other word.

Meta description

Meta description text is the region to test your internet marketing skills. Make this text attractive to Searchers to draw the required attention to click your website in search result.

Format for meta description is given below

Oh yes, I have not forgot the "meta keywords" but I deliberately skipped the issue, because it does not hold the kind of importance which it held some years back. In fact search engine major Google does not give any value to meta description now.

You must be able to implement these suggestions which I discussed above to rank well in various major search engines including Google, Bing and Ask. But this is very little part of "Total SEO", today's competitive internet market condition require strong Off-page improvement to ranking on top of search results. That part would be discussed in next post.

Getting to Google Top part 1:Competition Analysis a Must

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 09:20:00 +0000

You are now quite aware of the importance of being at top of Google after reading the post about "What it actually means to be Google....."

Now come back to real world and real competition! One thing is quite evident that "If You are to Achieve Google top position" for certain keyword, you have to know the REAL competition and your competitors to the core. That means you should first know real ground analysis about your niche, domain competition, and most important ; your competitor. If you haven't done that yet, start immediately. How? That's what I will be telling you right now.

For your better understanding I will pick a common keyword "free coupon". And for the time being you imagine your website/blog is on this (free coupon) topic with a name, say http://www.freeonlinecouponforall.com/ and the keyword you are targeting is "free coupon" to get to the Google top.

Competition Analysis

Start your analysis with a quick search on Google.com by entering the keyword "free coupon". You will see there are about 73.5 million (73,600,000 to be specific) pages that have qualified to be on Google's index. That indicates competition for your niche is pretty high. (and it will become higher by time!). But you need not to worry about it, what you need to worry is "your rank" in this long list. Let us assume you rank on 4th page at 7th position. That means your rank is 47 and no doubt it is quite low. Our aim (your also) is to improve your ranking from 47th to 1st.

On-page Analysis

At this point of time your competition as well as your target is fairly clear to you. You have to surpass the preceding 46 websites of SERP to achieve your goal. To do it you need to know where your competitors stand presently. Take the first result of Google for example which is http://www.couponmom.com/. Google PR of this website is 6 (quite good). URL of the website contain "coupon" good part of whole keyword. Also the website title has the word "coupon" 5 times which is good for the site.

Also the website has used the word "coupon" and "free" extensively in its meta description and keywords (coupon is its primary keyword). After the on-site analysis, I must say this website has the right to be at the top on Google.

Off-page Analysis

What about the off-site issue of the website. From the Alexa, I can see this website has 652 back links (some of they pretty quality links like Youtube,Yahoo etc). Major parts (almost all) of this backlinks are do-follow and majority of them has an anchor text "Coupon" or "Couponmom" or "Free coupon" which correctly follow with the Google. That completes our first of 46 competitor analysis. But from first analysis you will be getting the picture how to go about the competitors analysis.

Last but not least is the proper implementation of the analyzed result, which is the most important section of the the whole SEO process. This implementation will be discussed in my next post. I will discuss it in a very detail manner so that both beginner and professional can understand every single line of that post.

Getting to Top on Google:What it actually means

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 09:49:00 +0000

Webmaster around the world are getting crazing to achieve just one thing. What is that?

Guess, guess........ though you will get no prize for the right answer. Because common goal of all webmasters is to reach to top on Google. They have valid reason for running behind this craze. Let me tell you why.

Lets explain the importance of it bit more.

Consider a giant tree with uncountable number of flowers of same color and size, all are very beautiful. And there are few flower with more attractive color combination. If a person who love flower has to choose just one flower from the bunch, which will he/she choose? Very unpredictable right? But if any of those attractive flowers come to the reach of that person; he/she will never look others. Getting to the top on Google means you have the extra reach to your visitor. And an effective SEO does just that work for your website/blog.

Now a days if any website willing to generate a good business online, he/she must be ranking on top of Google for some popular (at least One) keywords related to his/her business domain. By "top of Google" I actually mean top three position of search result page.

Now I will discuss how you can achieve this top position in Google for any keyword. Whether you own a new website/blog or a website/blog which has been online for sometime now, these tips which I will be suggesting here are applicable for all.

For next few posts I will be concentrating on "how can YOU achieve the top position at Google" for a specific selected keyword or for group of keywords related to your domain. To achieve this you must abide by some basic guidelines which includes:-

i) You must have a website/blog.

ii) You should be able to change the basic HTML of that website/blog.

iii) Lastly you MUST implement the strategies mentioned here on your website/blog.

That's what you all have to do!

For now entertain yourself by reading the topic about "Current search market scenario" and keep yourself updated with latest trends in search market.

Current Scenario in Search Engine Market

noreply@blogger.com (Mark) — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 10:41:00 +0000

Don't tell me you are not getting the picture! From the picture itself current search market condition is quiet evident. If not let briefly discuss it.

From latest buzz from StatCounter Google hold nearly 90% of total search market worldwide. In US search market also Google dominate with 80% market share. So the supremacy of Google is quite inevitable.

On the other hand , after Bing had entered the search market, Yahoo has loss its market share dramatically.

From 17% search market share its share has dropped to 4% only. In US also, Yahoo does not lie in comfort zone. Yahoo have nearly 9% of total search market share of US search. Most worst part of it is that they are continuously loosing their search share globally as well in US.

When Bing launched everyone in the market anticipated that something is going to happen! Believe me or not that "Something" has really took place, which is Google strengthening its position! Promise that Bing made has not kept till date. But surely it made Google to brought some changes, which are actually benefiting surfers worldwide. From stat point of view Bing currently holds 3.5% search market share worldwide and 8.5% of total US search. But good (for improvement of search) thing is that Bing's share is increasing, though very slowly.

Other than these three (In near future it is likely to be Google Vs Bing) Ask has some significant but very low search market share (1%). Ask's share is not varying with the time and it is very unlikely that it can emerge as main contestant in search market. Oh yes I am not forgetting Baidu, the china major. But it's penetration is limited only in china and there is little chance that Baidu can make footprint in Global search market.
