Why Responsive Design might not be good enough
&lt;/h1&gt;
April 21 2015 Google is officially creating an alteration of it's ranking algorithm to favor websites that are "Mobile Friendly"

Now that phrase "mobile friendly" is/ was subject to interpretation: Many web developers interpreted that to mean "&lt;b&gt;responsive design&lt;/b&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What that meant in practical terms is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
because the screen size, the available real estate with which to view a website is so much smaller on a tablet or iPad as compared to on a full size desktop computer or a laptop, "responsive" meant the website would check to see "who" was viewing the website and respond by altering to fit the available screen space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Umm.. well that "technically works"  but if that's ALL you do, the text can be way, WAY too tiny to be "usable" ( Hence the web developer term &lt;b&gt;UX &lt;/b&gt;witch stands for &lt;b&gt;User Experience&lt;/b&gt; )&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
However Google Offers what IT thinks "mobile friendly" is or isn't&lt;/h3&gt;
To clear up some of this.. Google offers this free tool to provide a definitive answer to what it considers "good enough"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/"&gt;https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
what we do at Frederick Web Promotions is use a WordPress plugin to do more than just be "responsive" but to offer to your customers a different version of your website for smartphones as compared to the one we offer to customers viewing on a plain jane old school desktop computer.&lt;br /&gt;

If they identified themselves as "telemarketers for the Acme Local SEO company, you'd likely hang up. However if they (mis)represent themselves as being "with Google" you'll be surprised enough to give them 5 minutes of your time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's how they're "spitting hairs"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;remember, they're telemarketers who "represent" company X, they're not company X&lt;br /&gt;Company X is banking on any liability for misrepresentation falling on the telemarketing firm, not company X&lt;br /&gt;Company X didn't really "misrepresent themselves", the telemarketing firm did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now Company X does kinda "work with" Google, in that they, like me, are in the Google consulting business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You, the small business owner, does not really know the nuances of what "working with" Google means.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, in the telemarketers mind, they're not "lying", what they are doing is "stretching the truth"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;So how do you know if Google Places is really calling you?&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="il"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="il"&gt;Google&lt;/span&gt; Places calls show &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="line-height:18px;background-color:rgb(242,242,242)"&gt;650&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:18px;background-color:rgb(242,242,242)"&gt;&lt;b&gt;-253-2000 on the caller ID, and &lt;span class="il"&gt;Google&lt;/span&gt; as the name.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:18px;background-color:rgb(242,242,242)"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.frederickwebpromotions.com/"&gt;Local SEO Consulting&lt;/a&gt; by Frederick Web Promotions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Call 240 397-9804&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our business is getting your business listed at the top of Google search results&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Guaranteed #1 Google Rankings for each and every client.&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://frederickwebpromotions.blogspot.com/2012/08/fake-calls-from-google.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200586571784526750.post-7601216529339540477</guid><pubDate>Mon, 02 Jul 2012 07:11:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-07-02T12:42:50.601-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">diy seo</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">flash</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">graphics</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">images</category><title>Flash Graphics With No Expensive Photo Software</title><description>&amp;nbsp;Not every webmaster has access to graphics programs, face it, some of them are downright expensive&lt;br /&gt;

I've been graphics deficient for most of my SEO / Blogging Career, Ive leaned to "make do"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;



Top 3 Free Graphics Tools &lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here are some free graphics/ photo editing programs to download and some free graphic/ generator website. for the most part, I only get software from CNet's Download.com&lt;br /&gt;

As soon as you stop engaging your score plummets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I went camping for 10 days and my score dropped 15 points."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;This is a giant measuring exercise &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we have a giant computer game with people competing for market share.. scary, very very scary, but coming anyway!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;A website is a sales copy delivery system&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;… Ranking is the first step, We provide effective sales copy for Search Engine Marketing AFTER we get you the number one spot in Google for the keywords your customers are searching for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need the phone to ring!

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="articleText"&gt;Marketing involves integrating the left and right brains -- something that very few people are capable of.  It requires an ability to think conceptually and unencumbered by the present realities, yet being able to evaluate critically in a rigorous way.  Without the former, we fail to innovate; without the latter, we fail to focus. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Moreover, it takes more than one person in an executive committee who can actually do this two-brain thing to notice and approve a good idea when one hits the table. Odds of there being a quorum of such people in any one boardroom are long indeed, given that executive committees normally include strong left-brainers from finance, IT, and manufacturing/operations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No judgment here, just an observation.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Google is your storefront, it’s more than that… Google is your companies home page&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There’s an argument for you to consider Google IS your home page… it’s everybody else’s home page!&lt;br /&gt;
No one starts from your companies home page… Google (and Facebook) is  your storefront, that’s where all the customers are. No one knows your  name, they don’t care what your name is!&lt;/blockquote&gt;Since Facebook Business Pages are free and you’re allowed to have  more than one, why not make one page named your company name and another  one named the keywords you want to be found in Google under?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.frederickwebpromotions.com/tag/social-media-marketing" target="_new"&gt;Company Facebook Pages&lt;/a&gt; (not personal Facebook profiles) also show up prominently in Google searches. The holy grail of organic search ranking is to have your website occupy the #1 slot in the organic results and your company Facebook page occupy the #1 slot on for the same Google search results page.&lt;br /&gt;
Our business is getting your business listed at the top of Google search results&lt;br /&gt;

Done correctly SEO can have a significant impact on who  dominates certain industries in a particular geographical area.  It is  equally important to keep in mind that SEO done incorrectly can have a  negative impact on where a company falls in the local search results as  well.  Many think that Google or other major search engines will devalue  or lower a site only for unethical (black hat) practices, however,  often times websites can experience a drop in their rankings simply due  to minor errors, omissions, needless redundancy, or failure to “cross  all the T’s and dot all the I’s”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Common Mistakes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;External links to low quality/spam sites&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Similar or duplicate content to existing content already in the index (plagiarism)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Server is often inaccessible to bots&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Duplicate title/meta tags on multiple pages&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Keyword stuffing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Spamming&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;content quality and relevance&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;Any of the above mistakes can have a negative impact on your websites  visibility ranging from a drop in page rank, a drop in search engine  rankings, a Google&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandbox_effect"&gt; sandbox penalty&lt;/a&gt;,  or in the worst case scenario a temporary or permanent de-indexing by  Google. &amp;nbsp;The implementation of an effective SEO strategy requires a  thorough working knowledge of where the lines are drawn, and the skill  and foresight to aggressively promote your website without crossing  them.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Facebook has just won a &lt;a href="http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&amp;amp;Sect2=HITOFF&amp;amp;p=1&amp;amp;u=/netahtml/PTO/search-adv.htm&amp;amp;r=1&amp;amp;f=G&amp;amp;l=50&amp;amp;d=PTXT&amp;amp;S1=7788260.PN.&amp;amp;OS=pn/7788260&amp;amp;RS=PN/7788260" target="_blank"&gt;patent&lt;/a&gt; covering a certain type of search algorithm,  one that is largely based on the interests and clicks of a user’s  friends and friends-of-friends.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Specifically, the patent is for “ranking search results based on the  frequency of clicks on the search results by members of a social network  who are within a predetermined degree of separation.”The patent  continues, “Search results, including sponsored links and algorithmic  search results, are generated in response to a query and are marked  based on frequency of clicks on the search results by members of social  network who are within a predetermined degree of separation from the  member who submitted the query. The markers are visual tags and comprise  either a text string or an image.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What we do know is that Facebook search has been a priority for the  company since its &lt;a href="http://mashable.com/2010/03/16/facebook-upgrades-search-capabilities/"&gt;redesign&lt;/a&gt;  earlier this year. At that time, the search bar on the site was given a  prominent new position, and several under-the-hood upgrades rounded out  the Facebook search experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We’ve also seen a lot of sidebar  ads and recommendations lately centering around what a user’s friends  like within the site. All in all, the patent seems to line up with  Facebook’s general mission to explore (and profit from) the synapses and  connections within a social network.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Do You Have A Facebook Business Page Strategy ?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;It does no one any good to have 1000  fans, if 990 of them never go back, don't log in, and never said  anything:&lt;b&gt;,&lt;/b&gt; it doesn't do the fans any good&lt;b&gt;, doesn't do your company any good, and it doesn't do Facebook any good &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Facebook is looking for is participation&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;The algorithm can not *read* what is being said, but it can  measure activity&lt;/b&gt;: zero interest in a FB business page=  Facebooks algorthim has no choice but to assume the page is relatively  worthless, therefore that pages posts are deemed spam (none of that  companies posts will be broadcast to the friends of friends News Feed)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;All Outgoing (Broadcast) With ZERO Incoming (Recieving)= Facebook  Considers Your Business Page to Be Spam&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;If no one is leaving a comment or asking a  question the algorithm will NOT LET YOUR MESSAGES Go Out to your  friends or fans News Feed!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;So you have a company Facebook page?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Great&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm finding that if you don't "bribe" people (offer value isn't  really bribing) they wont "say something" or interact... no interaction =  your company facebook notes are NOT going out to the News Feed&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Getting your posts to make it to  the General Facebook News Feed is "friends of friends"... that's a WHOLE  LOTTA EyeBalls on your posts if you make it to the News Feed&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.frederickwebpromotions.com/2009/09/03/company-facebook-page-ghost-written/" target="_blank"&gt;Company Facebook Page&lt;/a&gt; is only as good as it's fan  base interaction&lt;/b&gt;, it does no one any good to have a Facebook  business page that is broadcasting (spamming) and not receiving  (interaction), Facebook will block the outgoing messages of a FB page  that is sending and not receiving.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Problem:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
if you're a newbie to Facebook Business Pages, the default view of  your &lt;b&gt;Company Facebook Page Wall does not always show you that a  prospective customer just asked you a question&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;What you have to do is click the  link marked "Options" just below your wall, on the right side&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/frederickmdrocks/4910043302/" title="Facebook Fan Filter by Frederick Md Publicity, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Facebook Fan Filter" height="188" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4077/4910043302_8b97618fc1.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Then click "Just Others"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/frederickmdrocks/4909442035/" title="Facebook Fan Page Options by Frederick Md Publicity, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Facebook Fan Page Options" height="157" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4135/4909442035_338733fdc9.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;What you want to see is Facebook Fan Interaction,&lt;/b&gt;  the evidence of that interaction looks like this:&lt;br /&gt;

Guarantees in this industry are often fraudulent and misleading, so how do you know your money is going into the right hands?  Choose a seasoned SEO expert with an original, well-tested approach that can be tweaked to suit your personal website-ranking needs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The following article answers this $64,000 question:  “How do you know which firm will do the best job of getting your site to rank higher than your competitor’s?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;They understand the value of quality copywriting.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Many competing SEO firms greatly underestimate the importance of text in boosting your web pages’ ranking.  CWP is constantly striving to better understand the algorithm Google uses to rank websites (Googlebot).  This mysterious, elusive, and ever-changing creature is the key to improving your ranking.  One of the most important ways to please the Googlebot is to prove that you are truly selling what you claim to be selling, and proving this requires quality copy on your site.  Googlebot only sees code, not graphics, and therefore text always wins—even if it’s just garbage loaded with keywords.  But our goal is to include lots of keyword-rich copy that consumers find credible, informative, and entertaining enough to keep reading.  The longer someone stays on your site, the more likely they are to choose your product or service.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;In addition, basic SEO 101 as taught by seasoned SEO consultant David Bruce Jr of CWP Tech Solutions  will teach you that the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;first line of text you use—&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;the first words that come out of your websites’ mouth—equal the single keyword phrase that you want to be found under in Google.  So the last phrase you want to start with is “Welcome to my website.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Google is not the be-all end-all of SEO.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;An excellent SEO firm will constantly strive to think ahead of the competition and ahead of the times. These days this means focusing on Social Media Optimization (SMO).  The latest trend in search engines are sites such as Collecta, OneRiot, and Topsy, which return real-time results from social media moguls such as Twitter and Facebook.  This trend can translate into a big boost for your site’s ranking if you know how to take advantage of it by optimizing and updating your Tweets, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.frederickwebpromotions.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Company&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.frederickwebpromotions.com/" target="_blank"&gt; Facebook posts&lt;/a&gt;, YouTube videos, and LinkedIn pages.  In addition, it’s just as important to understand that you must rank in Google Maps as well as organic search listings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hire a “&lt;a href="http://www.twitterceptionist.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Twitterceptionist&lt;/a&gt;”.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Tweeting every one of your listings every day, otherwise known as “ad blasting”, is undoubtedly effective to a point.  But an SEO firm worth their salt knows that at the end of the day Twitter is all about two-way communication.  Interested consumers who see your posts are likely to hit that “reply” button, but people lose interest quickly if they are ignored.  So you must reply to those replies if you want your ad blasting to work in the long run.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Know the #1 way to please Mr. Googlebot.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Google’s page ranking algorithm, Googlebot, is coded to love your site if it has loads of other sites with your link on them.  There are two ways to get your link out there as much as possible; take advantage of external websites and external Blogs.   Getting your link on external websites means building mutually-beneficial relationships with local sites, as well as adding your profile/link to the highest-ranking local domains that allow you to “register” on them.  In addition, external “supporting” Blogs about your area and including your link, created by and ghost-written by your SEO firm, will work wonders to promote your site and increase sales. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keep up with the “right” trends.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Some trends in SEO should be followed, others are best ignored.  These days one of the most important considerations is page load time.  In the world of Google ranking, shaving even a fraction of a second off your page load time can work wonders for your site.  A great way to achieve this is to use the Google Page Speed Add-on, an app which provides suggestions on improving performance, reducing bandwidth, and grabbing and holding visitors’ interest. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Remember that timing is everything.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Ranking is one thing, getting the sale is another, and maintaining that higher ranking and profitability over time is even more challenging.  Properly timing the output of your blog posts, links, additional copy, and updates to Facebook and Twitter can make or break you.  It’s an art and science to be battle-tested and tweaked over time.  A seasoned SEO knows this and constantly strives to master that science of timing in order to maximize your results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Guarantees in this industry are often fraudulent and misleading, so how do you know your money is going into the right hands? Choose a seasoned SEO expert with an original, well-tested approach that can be tweaked to suit your personal website-ranking needs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The following article answers this $64,000 question: “How do you know which firm will do the best job of getting your site to rank higher than your competitor’s?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;They understand the value of quality copywriting.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Many competing SEO firms greatly underestimate the importance of text in boosting your web pages’ ranking. CWP is constantly striving to better understand the algorithm Google uses to rank websites (Googlebot). This mysterious, elusive, and ever-changing creature is the key to improving your ranking. One of the most important ways to please the Googlebot is to prove that you are truly selling what you claim to be selling, and proving this requires quality copy on your site. Googlebot only sees code, not graphics, and therefore text always wins—even if it’s just garbage loaded with keywords. But our goal is to include lots of keyword-rich copy that consumers find credible, informative, and entertaining enough to keep reading. The longer someone stays on your site, the more likely they are to choose your product or service.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;In addition, basic SEO 101 as taught by seasoned SEO consultant David Bruce Jr of CWP Tech Solutions will teach you that the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;first line of text you use—&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;the first words that come out of your websites’ mouth—equal the single keyword phrase that you want to be found under in Google. So the last phrase you want to start with is “Welcome to my website.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Google is not the be-all end-all of SEO.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;An excellent SEO firm will constantly strive to think ahead of the competition and ahead of the times. These days this means focusing on Social Media Optimization (SMO). The latest trend in search engines are sites such as Collecta, OneRiot, and Topsy, which return real-time results from social media moguls such as Twitter and Facebook. This trend can translate into a big boost for your site’s ranking if you know how to take advantage of it by optimizing and updating your Tweets, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.frederickwebpromotions.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Company&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.frederickwebpromotions.com/" target="_blank"&gt; Facebook posts&lt;/a&gt;, YouTube videos, and LinkedIn pages. In addition, it’s just as important to understand that you must rank in Google Maps as well as organic search listings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hire a “&lt;a href="http://www.twitterceptionist.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Twitterceptionist&lt;/a&gt;”.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Tweeting every one of your listings every day, otherwise known as “ad blasting”, is undoubtedly effective to a point. But an SEO firm worth their salt knows that at the end of the day Twitter is all about two-way communication. Interested consumers who see your posts are likely to hit that “reply” button, but people lose interest quickly if they are ignored. So you must reply to those replies if you want your ad blasting to work in the long run.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Know the #1 way to please Mr. Googlebot.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Google’s page ranking algorithm, Googlebot, is coded to love your site if it has loads of other sites with your link on them. There are two ways to get your link out there as much as possible; take advantage of external websites and external Blogs. Getting your link on external websites means building mutually-beneficial relationships with local sites, as well as adding your profile/link to the highest-ranking local domains that allow you to “register” on them. In addition, external “supporting” Blogs about your area and including your link, created by and ghost-written by your SEO firm, will work wonders to promote your site and increase sales. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Keep up with the “right” trends.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Some trends in SEO should be followed, others are best ignored. These days one of the most important considerations is page load time. In the world of Google ranking, shaving even a fraction of a second off your page load time can work wonders for your site. A great way to achieve this is to use the Google Page Speed Add-on, an app which provides suggestions on improving performance, reducing bandwidth, and grabbing and holding visitors’ interest. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Remember that timing is everything.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: calibri;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Ranking is one thing, getting the sale is another, and maintaining that higher ranking and profitability over time is even more challenging. Properly timing the output of your blog posts, links, additional copy, and updates to Facebook and Twitter can make or break you. It’s an art and science to be battle-tested and tweaked over time. A seasoned SEO knows this and constantly strives to master that science of timing in order to maximize your results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It is boosting marketing and sales for local businesses. Here are the five main ways that Facebook can help your local business:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;1. Build Awareness&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Facebook offers very affordable, targeted cost-per-click advertising options that can be laser-targeted to the city you do business in. You only pay per click, so costs are minimal. Also, a Facebook page or group can be created to help get the word out about your organization.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;2. Distribute Information&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Local businesses need to affordably communicate events, news, products and services. Facebook allows you to leverage your personal and professional contacts to share information  -- for free. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;One of my favorite restaurants in Santa Barbara closed last year. I learned that it re-opened because one of my Facebook friends messaged all his personal contacts to share the news that he took over as the General Manager. He earned lots of business and boosted awareness by one easy (and free) message.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;3. Create Community&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Social networking serves to bring people together. Your local business can brand, build, and boost business by creating a Facebook page or group so your local contacts can converse with each other. Let your community become your best sales people and free focus group. Listen to the conversations and allow raving fans to share and get in on the conversation.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;4. Offer Additional Customer Service&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Through Facebook, you can answer questions, receive free feedback, promote events, and provide news to be of additional service to your locally-based audience. Facebook gives your prospective and current customers an additional web option to find and connect with you.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;5. Boost Sales&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Local businesses have to fight harder than ever to survive in this tough economy, but your business can have a competitive edge with Facebook. Tapping free social networking tools like Facebook to build awareness, share information, educate, build community, increase connection, and enhance customer service will all work in unison to make sales.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;When used with the right intention and managed regularly, Facebook can be a no-cost marketing tool to help your local businesses gain a competitive edge. Converse directly with locals, create a community of conversation -- learn, share, and connect -- all in a fun way. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Facebook has over 350 million users; I am willing to bet that your local audience is waiting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lorrie Thomas, MA is a &lt;a href="http://www.webmarketingtherapy.com/"&gt;The Marketing Therapist&lt;/a&gt;&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt;.

You have to take many factors into consideration before being able to make the right decision. This becomes even more difficult when you are considering an agency that will handle all of your SEO objectives remotely. Unfortunately it isn't just as simple as knowing the "proof is in the pudding" by viewing the results of their previous clients. This is where selecting a local SEO agency becomes a critical element and here are the reasons why.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; "&gt;1.  &lt;b&gt;The Relationship&lt;/b&gt; - Working with an agency is about more than just getting results. It's about finding the agency who you can establish a long term relationship that will know your business as well as you do and base their recommendations and activity surrounding your model. Selecting a local SEO agency makes this far more probable as you can have more face-to-face interaction rather than primarily communicating through email where details can get lost in translation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; "&gt;2. &lt;b&gt;Local Business&lt;/b&gt; - Regardless of where your business is located, it is critical to understand the market in that locality. While there is certainly enough information on the internet to allow for some degree of research, nothing can compare to understanding the mindset and rhythm of the people in any given locality. This is where a local agency can become more of an asset than a remote agency who is receiving most of their information second hand.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; "&gt;3. &lt;b&gt;Accessibility&lt;/b&gt; - This relates to the first point to a degree. It is one thing to have a weekly conference call scheduled and quite another to have consistent face-to-face meetings that provide the opportunity for greater understanding on the part of both parties involved as well as allowing the agency to glean information about your business that otherwise may have been overlooked or not come up in conversation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; "&gt;Keeping the above points in mind will certainly serve you better in selecting a local &lt;a target="_new" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.rainmakernj.com/" style="color: rgb(25, 0, 255); text-decoration: underline; "&gt;SEO agency&lt;/a&gt; as well as providing some insight into what elements to take into consideration when you are intending to hand over the organic marketing of your business to an external party.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;div id="sig" class="sig" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(75, 75, 75); margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; "&gt;&lt;a target="_new" href="http://www.bocakmak.com/" style="color: rgb(25, 0, 255); text-decoration: underline; "&gt;Manager SEO&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 1em; "&gt;Article Source: &lt;a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Bo_Cakmak" style="color: rgb(25, 0, 255); text-decoration: underline; "&gt;http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Bo_Cakmak&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://frederickwebpromotions.blogspot.com/2008/09/dominate-google-rankings-mulitple-top.html" target="_blank"&gt;Get Your Company To Dominate Local Google Rankings&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Publicity is one of the most important success factors for almost any website or business, but it can be very challenging at the beginning to establish presence and credibility&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our business is getting your business listed at the top of Google search results&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.frederickwebpromotions.com"&gt;Frederick Web Promotions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;6688 Canada Goose Ct&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Frederick Maryland 21703&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;240 644-7530&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:davidbrucejr@frederickwebpromotions.com"&gt;davidbrucejr@frederickwebpromotions.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Guaranteed #1 Google Rankings for each and every client.&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://frederickwebpromotions.blogspot.com/2010/01/3-good-reasons-to-select-local-seo.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200586571784526750.post-1778757560260538967</guid><pubDate>Wed, 06 Jan 2010 05:13:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-06T00:13:58.726-05:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">local google advertising</category><title>Dominating Local Google Ranking</title><description>&lt;div id="body"&gt;Everyone wants their company to Rank #1 in Google (or as close as humanly possible).&lt;br /&gt;
What if you sell products or services LOCALLY?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would you want to field phone calls from a thousand miles (or more) away from your target demographic area? Would it do you much good to rank in Oklahoma if you only competed in Florida? There is such a thing as LOCAL Google search results. Before we get too carried away, be advised there are 3 parts to a Google search page and one of those is specifically local.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anatomy of a SERP&lt;br /&gt;
What is a serp? "Search Engine Results Page". They are divided into 3 distinct sections.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Local Business Listings&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Organic or Natural (main body of search listings)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Sponsored listings/ Paid listings/&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Straight Advertising or in other words Google AdWords Number 3 can sometimes be split in 2 places: Adwords are always on the right side of a SERP, but depending on the volume of searches (and the volume of people paying to rank for a given keyword) sometimes sponsored listings are at the very top of a search result page. Google is far and away the largest search engine but not the only one on the planet that people use; Yahoo, Bing and AOL search, Ask.com, and every yellowpage clone I've seen lists the sponsored links prominently at the top before any eyes ever get to the main body of listings.&lt;br /&gt;
Google shows different results to those out of town than they show to people locally (that includes you).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Google can do this because they knows quite a bit about you, before you ever hit the "search" button&lt;/b&gt;. If someone is searching for X locally (and Google knows that hypothetical person is physically searching IN said locality) the Google Maps listings will display above the organic listings.&lt;br /&gt;
If said person is searching for X product or service in a given location and they are NOT physically located within said locality, the local business listings (Google Maps) will show up in the middle of the organic listings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;What you want to do as a business owner is to get your company website to rank in 2 or more of the 3 available slots. My research shows me that it seldom does a company good to rank in the organics if they are not ranking in the Google Maps. Similarly if you are found in the top of the Googlemaps but not in the top ten organic listings this can severely lessen the number of phone calls or inquires your advertising is attempting to receive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If you (or the SEO firm you contract with) manages to get your business in all 3 slots in a serp, that's the brass ring of local Google advertising. Depending on the product/ service and the competition vying for those serp rankings, if you're in all 3 spots of a serp, you are most likely to clean up. The reason is that your prospects are likely to assume that Google apparently thinks very highly of you if it lists you "everywhere".&lt;br /&gt;
For a fee, a competent search engine marketing firm can get your company listed prominently in 2 or more of those coveted Google segments. For a fee I'll do it as well, but for free I'll give you this much: Rename your website with the geographic area you wish to compete in and you'll do much better than a competing website named something else&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Hint: No one cares what your name is, I know you're very proud of it, but trust me, the prospective clients you're wooing care ONLY about 2 things: What they need and where they can get it.&lt;br /&gt;
For example, I'm located in Maryland, so any client of mine who is paying me to rank statewide, will get a serise of blogs with Maryland in the title, in the domain name, in the opening paragraph of text and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Our business is getting your business listed at the top of Google search results&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We’ve become a searching culture and if we don’t see something in the first 10 search results on Google, we may not realize it exists. (&lt;a href="http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2008/Search-Engine-Use.aspx"&gt;A 2008 PEW/Internet survey&lt;/a&gt; found that 49% of online Americans use search engines every day, and a &lt;a href="http://www.iprospect.com/about/researchstudy_2008_blendedsearchresults.htm"&gt;2008 iProspect/JupiterResearch study&lt;/a&gt; found that “68% of search engine users click a search result within the first page of results, and a full 92% of search engine users click a result within the first three pages of search results.”)&lt;br /&gt;
Source &lt;a href="http://searchengineland.com/google-io-new-advances-in-the-searchability-of-javascript-and-flash-but-is-it-enough-19881"&gt;SearchEngineLand&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span id="intelliTxt"&gt;Alot of webmasters and 'SEOs' alike ask tons of questions about why their PR has dropped, how they can increase it, etc., etc. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm here to set the record straight. Google PR IS a major part of your rankings. HOWEVER, the way everyone here uses the term (99% of the time) is in reference to the VISIBLE Google PR value found in their toolbar. This is a POOR measure of PR folks and should not be used in ANY discussion about rankings or loss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What we know: Google Visible Green Toolbar is updated quarterly. The information in the toolbar is not only old, but it's only snapshot of the overall health of a web site. Basically it's a loose indicator of the value of the incoming links to that particular web site. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But even then it's inaccurate. You do'nt want to even base links (those you acquire) solely on this value. Case in point. I have a web site, 60 Yahoo! back links recorded, more in Webmasters. There are nothing but junky (but related) links. The links are PR3 or less (ALL OF THEM), HOWEVER, what we see is a PR 5 for the web site that is slightly more than a year. WHY?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
TWO links from a subdomain from CNN. That's it. PR 5. Visible PR overvalued? Probably, but nonetheless, an example of how basing any web marketing decisions on visible google PR is flawed. This solidifies the case of RELEVANT and AUTHORITY incoming links, NOT LINKS BASED ON PR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Never should you ask the question about HOW to increase PR. That's the wrong question. That's like asking how far a car can fly. You want to ask, "what's causing my slow rankings or loss? Can I get more links? Should I be investing in more cool content?" &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DO NOT ASK, 'should I increase PR'? PR is a result of those two items I mentioned above. You cannot directly influence the stupid green toolbar value! You CAN influence the links you get and the content you provide. whew.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It's generally thought that Google offered this free service, and gave its location on a search result page prominence above the organic listings because of the popularity of Google's Adwords program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adwords is a PPC (pay per click) advertising system where keywords and keyword phrases are bid on in an auction like system.&lt;br /&gt;The immense popularity of Adwords priced smaller Mom n Pop stores out of the market due to the ever escalating costs of certain keywords. Google became fearful that it's search platform would be return search results of the "rich and famous" thus reflecting only what the rich and powerful wanted seen on Google search results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;How does Google determine which website should rank higher than another?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Google uses a computer program algorithm based on hundreds of factors as the vast size of the internet precludes any human capability of keeping the listings accurate or current. That algorithm is a closely guarded trade secret within Google. Search Engine Optimization Consultants learn what Google apparently likes and doesn't like from the observable behavior of search results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Google Maps algorithm is different from the algorithm that anoints one site over another. It's also slower to update. If your customers leave glowing reviews of your product or service on the link provided your site will climb in rank. You are permitted up to 10 photos of your product or service, use as many of those slots as possible. Fill out as much information about your business as space allotted provides, being verbose is better than being succinct when it comes to Google Local Business Listings&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many small businesses get leads and interested inquiries from a local business listing even if they don't have a website url. Still other small businesses find it unnecessary to have their company listed anywhere other than the top local business listings. If your listing falls in ranking or is bumped out of it's spot by a newcomer and you find your company losing sales because of it, you may want to outsource your rankings management to a &lt;a href="http://localorganicsearchranking.com/"&gt;local search engine optimization&lt;/a&gt; firm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fees involved for a local business listing may be less than the fees for improving your company website's organic listing.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Determines Google Rank?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ever wonder why your companies listing in Google does OK in the main body of Google's search results page but is not in the top 10 of those pesky Google Local Business Listings?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ultimately what you want is to be found in BOTH sets of listings, the net effect of which would be to drive home in your prospective customers Mind's Eye that Google apparently thinks pretty highly of your company if Google is displaying YOUR company listing in the Local Business Listings and in the Organic Search Rankings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, people's perception and Google's reality are far, far apart.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Google &lt;b&gt;didn't *pick* you to be #1&lt;/b&gt; and your competitor to be #11&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A computer program picked you over the hapless fella you compete with. A person did not visit your site, take notes, compare notes, make a descion, hear the belly aching and whining of the poor fool who got bumped off of his front page listed by a website that ranked better than his...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;nope, an algorithm picked you over them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Think about it... there are what? a Gazillion webpages already indexed in Google? And how many tens of thousands of new webpages being created as we speak? Some of those tens of thousands are being "generated" by a "bot".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There is no way on God's Green Earth a staff of humans could possibly keep up with that kind of volume. An algorithm did it. The robot that scours the Internet (in the SEO industry we call that "spidering") is titled GoogleBot.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;GoogleBot Can't Really *Read*&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;GoogleBot can NOT read... but it CAN count&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Googlebot counts the words on your webpage, it counts the keywords and keyword phrases you use in your copy. Is y0ur company website a little light on copy? Too bad for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It matters little to Googlebot if the fancy flash graphic and dramatic digital photos depicting your most important product are... well the damn thing can't decipher a photo! but it CAN read text.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What ever makes your photos good, better or best and likewise your competitors photos crappy is subjective. Art is subjective, math is not.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Either the keywords are on your webpage (Prominently placed at the top of the page I hope) or the keyw0rds are not.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;He who has the most keywords (elegantly, tactfully and deftly constructed with proper enough grammar for the spell checking programmed Googlebot to index).. Wins that coveted top spot!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But... the Google Local Business Listings are a different story. The algo is different.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What Google is looking for and rewards when it sees it for the organic search results page (the body of the page) is one thing. What Googlebot is looking to see in the Free Local Google Advertising Listings is quite another.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;I'm not about to reveal the entire loophole in a "Google Secrets Revealed" post,&lt;/b&gt; not even for a&lt;b&gt; hefty $1000 fee for an ebook&lt;/b&gt; (I'd do it for that price if it were ticket sales to a seminar and I got a couple dozen of you to buy $1000 tickets to eagerly learn how I do what it is I do) (that's in the works by the way)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No, I'm not telling, not the whole thing but I will give you a hint, and I'm giving said hint in the form of my own Maryland search engine optimization results.

The researcher proceeds to explain the study to you both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He tells you the study is about the effects of punishment on memory. The task of the other volunteer will be to learn a series of word pairings (he’s called the “Learner”).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your job as the “Teacher” will be to test the Learner’s memory of the word pairs, and administer electric shocks for each wrong answer. And for every new wrong answer, the voltage goes up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You’re not sure about this whole thing, but it must be okay, right? The testing begins, and when the other volunteer misses a question, you pull a lever that delivers a mild shock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over time, though, the shock levels increase, and the Learner is grunting audibly. At 120 volts, he tells you the shocks are really starting to hurt. At 150 volts, he tries to quit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The researcher tells you to keep going, and that the shocks will cause “no permanent tissue damage” to the Learner. You continue questioning and delivering punishment for incorrect answers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;At 165 volts, the Learner screams&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 300 volts, the Learner refuses to respond any longer, as the shocks are impairing his mental capacities. The researcher tells you to treat non-responses as incorrect answers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Learner is screeching, kicking, and pleading for mercy with every subsequent shock, all the way up to 450 volts when the researcher finally stops you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scary story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This couldn’t possibly have really happened, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, actually, it did, in 1963 at Yale, during a series of experiments by Stanley Milgram.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But here’s the real scoop about the Milgram experiment:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• there were no actual electric shocks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• the Learner was an actor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• the study had nothing to do with memory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Milgram wanted to know was how far the Teachers would go when told to continue to deliver those shocks, since they thought they really were.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About two-thirds (65%) of the subjects administered every shock up to 450 volts, no matter how much the Learner begged for mercy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, without the researcher’s encouragement to continue, the study found that the test subjects would have stopped giving punishment quite early on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The results shocked the Yale faculty (no pun intended), and have become a part of modern psychological lore. Every aspect of the experiment had been carefully vetted to pull test subjects from a standard cross section of ages, occupations, and education levels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, these were not sadistic savages — these were people just like you and me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A 2002 analysis of the original study confirms the findings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What could possibly lead to this behavior?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Milgram concluded it’s our deep-seated sense of duty to authority. We’re trained from childhood to respect and trust authority figures (such as scientists in lab coats), and the obedience that comes with it stays with us throughout our lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even when we feel something may not be quite right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cashing in with Authorit&lt;/strong&gt;y&lt;br /&gt;What Milgram wanted to know was how far the Teachers would go when told to continue to deliver those shocks, since they thought they really were.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All Your Deposits Belong to Me&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A television reporter dresses up in a security guard’s uniform and sets up in front of a Las Vegas bank. He sticks a sign on the ATM embellished with a big gold badge and the following message:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“OUT OF ORDER — GIVE DEPOSITS TO GUARD ON DUTY.”&lt;br /&gt;Bank customers start showing up. Each time, the fake guard smiles and asks if the customer wants to make a deposit or withdrawal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This whole scenario is ridiculous, right? No bank would conduct business this way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yet, customer after customer handed over cash, checks, Social Security numbers, credit cards, account numbers, PIN codes… you name it. Out of 10 people, only one hesitated, but even he complied seconds later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the reporter revealed the deception and asked the flabbergasted&lt;br /&gt;victims why they handed him money and private information,&lt;br /&gt;they all gave pretty much the same answer:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Because of the uniform. Because of the sign.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, they complied because he was perceived as authoritative&lt;br /&gt;and therefore, trustworthy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does authority have anything to do with people trusting you when money is involved?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You bet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s another crazy example of our obedience to&lt;br /&gt;authority that copywriter Dean Rieck loves to tell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Google Loves Authority Too&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;We believed we could build a better search. We had a simple idea, that not all pages are created equal. Some are more important.&lt;br /&gt;~ Sergey Brin, Co-Founder, Google&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;It’s quite complicated and sounds circular, but we’ve worked out a way of calculating a website’s importance.&lt;br /&gt;~ Larry Page, Co-Founder, Google&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;To rank well, &lt;strong&gt;build a site so fantastic that it makes you an authority&lt;/strong&gt; in your niche.&lt;br /&gt;~ Matt Cutts, Head of Google Web Spam Team&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neuroscience reveals the somewhat frightening answer. Brain scans show that the decision-making parts of our brains often shut down when we encounter authoritative advice or direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That’s part of what makes authority so powerful. And why authority&lt;br /&gt;carries great responsibility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you’re looking to influence people and build a powerful business online, authority is the way to go. People respect other people who have authority, expertise, and impressive credentials just like they respect people in lab coats and police uniforms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt; And they respect authority even more when you &lt;em&gt;demonstrate it&lt;/em&gt; rather than simply claim it. More on that in a minute.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply put, authority makes you more important in the eyes of others… someone who should be listened to and treated better. And it’s not just people who operate this way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So… people respond to and follow important people more than others. And Google ranks important pages and sites higher than others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We may be on to something with this authority thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you’ve been around the online marketing scene for a while, you may be familiar with the paradox of search engine optimization (SEO). SEO is the art and science of ranking high in the search engines (mostly Google) for the words people are using to find what you have to offer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It boils down to this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt; If people think you’re important, so will Google.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This perplexes many webmasters and online marketers, since they wonder how people will consider them important when people use search engines to find things online in the first place. How are you important if you’re invisible in the search engines to start with?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;how does Google know&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; people think you’re important anyway?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For one, they know &lt;strong&gt;because people link to you&lt;/strong&gt;, and Google follows those links to index and rank web pages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And thanks to services such as the Google Toolbar, Analytics, Feedburner, Google Reader, Gmail and others that keep you logged-in to your Google account, the Big G has an enormous amount of usage data that shows what people actually spend time doing online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, there’s that. But how do you kick it off?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All Your Deposits Belong to Me&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to get the power to influence or command thought, opinion, or behavior online, you need to become an authority that others cite (link to) in their online content. Which means, of course, you need a content-rich website that demonstrates your authority in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your content actually demonstrates your expertise, compared with a website or bio page that claims expertise. This is a crucial distinction, because it truly levels the playing field and allows anyone to come along and build authority that outpaces even recognized&lt;br /&gt;and credentialed experts in a particular niche or field.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How is this possible? Well, it’s due to the one essential truth about how both people and Google perceive authority:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What other people say about you is more important than what you say about yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;Authority is all about perception.&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perceived authority can outrank actual authority, because both the general population and the most powerful search engine on the planet look to what others “vote” to be the most relevant expertise for any given topic, rather then some other method that might give a different result.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To get people to link to you and generally pay attention in the first place, you have to start thinking about authority in a different sense. Luckily, any dictionary will get you on the right path with the other definition of authority.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;au·thor·i·ty noun: [1] A citation (e.g. from a book) used in defense or support; [2] the source from which the citation is drawn; [3] an individual cited or appealed to as an expert.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me give you an example.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s say Professor X is the world’s foremost authority on green widgets. This guy really knows his stuff when it comes to green widgets, and he’s got the PhD in green widgetology to prove it. He’s also published several scholarly papers on the topic of green widgets, but unfortunately those demonstrations are deemed too valuable to publish freely online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bad move, Professor X.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there’s Ned Newbie. Ned is passionate about green widgets, even though he didn’t quite make it to graduate school. Ned is teaching himself everything there is to know about green widgets by doing his own research and reading everything he can get his hands on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The scholarly journals won’t touch Ned with a 10-foot pole, but that’s okay… Ned decides to blog about green widgets and share what he’s learned so far with anyone who’s interested. It doesn’t matter that Ned doesn’t know as much about green widgets as Professor X (yet), because Ned figures his own understanding of the topic will increase by having to transform his research into content that can be viewed across the planet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ned’s absolutely right. And here’s the good part… whenever someone&lt;br /&gt;needs to cite (link to) a web page when mentioning green widgets,&lt;br /&gt;they link to Ned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two years later, Brad Pitt confesses a fascination for green widgets during a Barbara Walters’ interview. Suddenly, everyone is hot to find out more about green widgets. Search traffic surges, reporters are digging for sources… it’s downright green widget mania.&lt;br /&gt;Who will people find? Who will the media contact?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself.&lt;br /&gt;~ Albert Einstein&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last thing I want you to think is that following rules is the way to succeed. In fact, breaking a few of the “rules” people try to dictate to you might be the smartest thing you ever do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The title of this report has a double meaning. The first way to look at it is authority rules… as in it kicks ass and can’t be beat when it comes to publishing and marketing online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that’s the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But when it comes to building authority sites or blogs (same difference,&lt;br /&gt;really, given Google’s preference for constantly-updated content), some things are fairly critical. The following ten elements of online authority are important enough to be considered rules that should be followed, not broken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That’s right… it’ll be Ned. Sorry, Professor X.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The key to becoming an authority in any area is to learn all you can, and share all you can. Then you make money by selling something related to your authority, and even by re-packaging the content you’ve already created.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you might have guessed, there are ways to go about this that provide better results than other approaches (especially in the competitive niches that don’t need Brad Pitt to drive traffic). Let’s get into the elements that result in authoritative websites that work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s take a look at each:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The winning difference has been a critical concept way before the web came along. And it’s been called a lot of different things over time in various contexts: a unique selling proposition; your position in people’s minds; your purple cow… and on and on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Essentially, it’s what makes your story stick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a lot of ways to differentiate yourself, but no matter how you do it, it’s absolutely essential to building an authority website. In many ways, it’s how unique your content is that sets you apart, and that’s why the winning difference is rule number one… and why all of the following rules support it one way or another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by &lt;a href="http://authorityrules.com/"&gt;Brian Clark&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;======&lt;br /&gt;What you want is for Google to consider YOUR companies website to be THE AUTHORITY in your industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;Period.&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pull that off and it's Game Over&lt;/b&gt;, you win and your competitors whimper, whine and snivel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What I'm going to say next will confuse some of you&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;... a  conventional (static) website is NOT what I recommend if you are hoping to corner the search results for your industry.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You want to know the quickest, most effective method of getting Google to go Ga-Ga over your companies message?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;A Blog.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get a blog, either make your company website into a blog or failing that if there's the weight of precedence making that move too much of a pain, Add a blog TO your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's why this site is  not a website, it's a blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's why my main website where I pitch my &lt;b&gt;local search engine wizardry&lt;/b&gt; is not a website... it too is a blog&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that's why you found this information... because it's published not on a conventional website... it's published on a blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you now know you need a blog, chances are you're feeling a little underprepared to dive into blogging.

What you're attempting is to get your companies&lt;br /&gt;website to rank higher in the search engines than your competitors&lt;br /&gt;website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Too often a new Maryland Internet advertising client will insist&lt;br /&gt;that the consultant make the existing corporate website improve&lt;br /&gt;in ranking with out having to change, edit or alter the existing&lt;br /&gt;website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Balancing Paid and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://localorganicsearchranking.com"&gt;Organic Search Engine Listings&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does your company’s website really need to be listed in both the organic or “natural” search results as well as the paid “sponsored” results? The answer is a most definite “yes”. After talking to a lot of other search engine marketing experts, we all tend to agree that a combined approach–one that relies on both organic search engine rankings and paid listings works best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Higher click-thru ratios&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to recent research, (I will quote and talk about the research in the presentation), websites that are listed at the top of the organic search results and the paid listings will triple their click-thru ratio. Three times more people will visit your website if it is listed in both places because there is a “second opinion effect”. Searchers see both listings and are encouraged by the fact that a website is listed in both the organic listings and the paid listings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Greater penetration of search results&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By optimizing your website’s content to rank well in the organic search results, your website can be found for many keyword phrases and combinations of keywords. Good organic search engine rankings typically take months to achieve, and are fairly easy to maintain on an ongoing basis. Pay per click (PPC) can be implemented quickly–it can also be turned on and off as needed, depending on your company’s budget and current promotions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;More keyword research&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keyword research tells you how many people per day search for what keyword terms. There are many tools available that allow you to perform keyword research even before you achieve organic search engine rankings or start a PPC campaign. Once organic search engine rankings are achieved, keyword research using existing website statistic data allows you to enhance your listing of keywords–you can combine your organic keyword list with your PPC keywo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://frederickwebpromotions.blogspot.com/2008/09/dominate-google-rankings-mulitple-top.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://frederickwebpromotions.blogspot.com/2008/09/dominate-google-rankings-mulitple-top.html" target="_blank"&gt;How to Dominate Google Rankings&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://yourdomain.reseller.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;Need to accept Credit Cards from your website?
