People are looking for just about everything in the search engines, and if you can&rsquo;t be found, you&rsquo;ll miss out on new business opportunities. There are certain basic local SEO rules that should be followed, like incorporating the location into website content and submitting information to all of the local business directories. But what if that isn&rsquo;t enough? How can you take your local <a href="http://seodon.weebly.com/" target="_blank">SEO</a> to the next level?<br /><br /><strong>Important Ways to Improve Local SEO Efforts<br />Here are a few suggestions:</strong><br /><strong><br />Make sure content is mobile friendly</strong><br />Each year more and more people are searching using a mobile device like a Smartphone or a tablet. And what are they searching for? What your local business has to offer! In 2013 there is really no excuse to not incorporate mobile into your online marketing strategy. Even if someone finds your website on a mobile device, they might not take the time to find the information that they are looking for if it&rsquo;s not easily accessible. Navigating a desktop version of a website on a mobile device is a pain. If nothing else, your website should be mobile responsive to cater to this growing population of mobile users.<br /><br /><strong>Engage in PR</strong><br />Some of the best links for a local business are from local news sources. They are extremely relevant and high authority. If there is anything newsworthy going on within your business, reach out and see where you can get it covered. In addition to improving your link trust, this can also be a great way to generate traffic to your site and gain exposure among people in your community.<br /><br /><strong>Work with other local businesses</strong><br />A great way to promote your business within a community is to reach out and form connections with other local business owners. After all, you do have something in common. It might not make sense to partner up with a competitor, but there are plenty of other opportunities. Working with a non-profit is often beneficial. Sponsorship opportunities can help you achieve links and generate positive press. It can also help your business gain exposure within the local community.<br />Target extremely local keywords<br /><br />For local <a href="http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-for-beginners.html" target="_blank">SEO,</a> you obviously want to target the city or town that you are located in but in some situations it makes sense to niche it down even further. For example, if you are located in a big city like New York City, it might not make sense to go after &ldquo;New York City pizza shop&rdquo; as a primary keyword. There are hundreds of pizza shops in New York City. Instead, focus on a smaller area, like a neighborhood. &ldquo;Midtown pizza shop&rdquo; is much more targeted to a specific area. A keyword like that may have less search volume but it will get a more targeted audience to the site that is more likely to purchase from you.<br /></div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[A New Year Means New SEO:]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-blog/a-new-year-means-new-seo]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-blog/a-new-year-means-new-seo#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 07 Mar 2013 04:40:13 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-blog/a-new-year-means-new-seo</guid><description><![CDATA[I see so many site owners make the mistake of thinking that SEO is a &ldquo;set it and forget it&rdquo; medium.

Just like any other marketing campaign you may undertake this year, SEO is something that can&rsquo;t just put on the back burner and expect to run itself. No, you don&rsquo;t need to be re-optimizing your website every three months, but there is so much more to <a href="http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-company-bhubaneswar.html" target="_blank">SEO</a> than just the onsite process! Now that we are into the New Year (and everyone is back to the grindstone) it&rsquo;s time to start thinking about a new (and improved) SEO campaign.<br /><br /><strong>What new SEO action items can you do in 2013 to take your SEO to the next level?</strong><br /><br /><strong>1. Revisit your keyword research</strong><br />I usually tell my clients they should consider revamping their website (new design, new content, etc.) every two years or so (if it makes sense). You want to clean up your website&mdash;weed out underperforming pages, tighten up your internal linking and navigation and consider revisiting your keyword research as part of your new SEO campaign. How has user search behavior changed since the last time you optimized your website? What new industry keywords are popping up? What terminology is going out of style? The keywords you target are the cornerstone of your <a href="http://seodon.weebly.com/why-seo.html" target="_blank">SEO</a> campaign and it&rsquo;s important to make sure they are still on track. Sometimes you might only have to swap out a few keywords (maybe none). Other times a whole new world of keywords will have cropped up in the last few years and you&rsquo;re missing valuable visitors by not targeting them on your website.<br /><br /><strong>2. Ramp up your content marketing</strong><br />It&rsquo;s hard to have a good guest blogging program when you can&rsquo;t get your own blog under control. Now that you&rsquo;ve had a year or two to fine tune your blogging skills on your own company blog it&rsquo;s time to ramp up your content marketing efforts for your new SEO campaign and look into getting real guest blogging opportunities on respected industry sites. I worry that guest blogging will become the new link exchange and Google will start treating them as such, so it&rsquo;s important that you don&rsquo;t publish content on any old site that will have you. Take the time to find quality blogs that reach your target audience and routinely produce great content&mdash;these are the blogs you want to be writing for.<br /><br />You could also ramp up the content creation on your own blog by accepting a few guests posts of your own (maybe 2 or so a month) or start interviewing industry experts and publishing those interviews as blog posts. A guest blogger or expert is going to want to promote content with their name attached to it, but it&rsquo;s your blog that reaps the link building and traffic driving benefits! But remember, just like you don&rsquo;t want to publish on any old blog, you don&rsquo;t want any old blogger publishing on your site. Pick and choose carefully!<br /><br /><strong>3. Start going after those hard-to-get links.</strong><br />A new SEO campaign is the perfect opportunity to push your white hat link building to greater heights. Start going after that hard to win links that you might have avoided in the past and make your link profile that much stronger! I know it can be frustrating to feel like you&rsquo;re spending hours building links and only having a handful of published links to show for it but those hard to get links are going to be much more valuable in the long run than a dozen easy wins.<br /></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reasons Why SEO Is Frustrating]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-blog/reasons-why-seo-is-frustrating]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-blog/reasons-why-seo-is-frustrating#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 07 Feb 2013 10:22:35 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-blog/reasons-why-seo-is-frustrating</guid><description><![CDATA[Here are some of the top SEO frustrations:Success is difficult to measureSEO is a marathon, not a sprint.

However, no matter how many times the SEO process is explained it&rsquo;s often difficult for <a href="http://seodon.weebly.com/a-to-z-seo.html" target="_blank" title="">SEO</a> clients to understand this concept. Clients want to see SEO results and they wanted to see them yesterday but that&rsquo;s not how it works. It can take years to begin to see SEO results, especially in a competitive niche. It&rsquo;s also important to understand that SEO may only be one part of ultimate success. Clients have asked us, &ldquo;How do we know which is working best- SEO, social media, or content marketing?&rdquo; The answer is, you really don&rsquo;t know because it&rsquo;s usually a combination of all three that is generating traffic to the website and resulting in leads or sales. The last touchpoint may have been a blog post but that same visitor may have initially found the site via search and then started following the company in social media. Even if a lead or a sale isn&rsquo;t tied directly to SEO, it&rsquo;s likely that SEO played a role in the sale at some point along the line.<br />Google does whatever it wants, whenever it wants<br /><br />When we talk about SEO we talk about improving a &ldquo;search engine&rdquo; presence but we all know that we are really talking about Google, which still has the biggest chunk of the search engine market by far. If you want to succeed in SEO, you need to play by Google&rsquo;s rules which seem to constantly be changing. Google aims to provide its users with the best possible search experience and the search giant is always tweaking its algorithm in order to do so. This means that a link building tactic that worked just a few years ago may no longer be relevant or could even land you in some hot water. Think about the major Google updates that have happened within the past few years. Panda and Penguin both forced many websites out of their comfortable positions. We need to just accept that we are at the mercy of Google, pay attention to any moves it makes, and follow Google&rsquo;s best practice guidelines.<br />Success can be out of your control<br /><br />Some SEO clients want to know why they aren&rsquo;t ranking in the top 3 after months of <a href="http://seodon.weebly.com/" target="_blank" title="">SEO</a>. The first thing to keep in mind is that ranking isn&rsquo;t an accurate measure of success because rankings fluctuate based on the personalization of search. However, beyond that it could very well be that it could take many more years to get to the top 3, or you may never get there at all. If you are relatively new to SEO and have competitors that are established and have been working at SEO for years, they are at a huge advantage. There is nothing that you can do about the trust and authority that your competitors have already achieved.<br /><br />While it may be tempting to avoid SEO because of these frustrations, we still must face it head on. Because the thing is, no matter how much it may frustrate us at times, it&rsquo;s still a necessary component of an online marketing program. Without good SEO work it will be difficult for a website to succeed in the search engines at all.</div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[B2B Conversions Require More than SEO]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-blog/b2b-conversions-require-more-than-seo]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-blog/b2b-conversions-require-more-than-seo#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 07 Feb 2013 10:12:15 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-blog/b2b-conversions-require-more-than-seo</guid><description><![CDATA[ Some may argue that B2B marketing is more challenging than B2C.

A B2B marketer typically needs to convince more than one person within an organization that their product/service is the right one for the organization. Since multiple employees may have a say in the decision, the sales cycle is typically much longer than that of a B2C purchase. The team of decision makers need to conduct thorough research, consult with others within the organization, and ensure that the budget will allow for it.<br /><br /><strong>B2B Conversions Require More than SEO</strong><br />Because B2B decisions typically affect the business as a whole, as opposed to a few individuals, research is important. Decision makers aren&rsquo;t going to spend $10K for a product on a whim. They are going to do some serious investigating. One of the first places that a B2B decision maker will probably look for more information is online. This is why search engine optimization is a crucial part of the online marketing mix. Without any <strong><a href="http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-tips.html" target="_blank" title="">SEO</a></strong>, it&rsquo;s doubtful that a business website will perform well in the search engines which is typically where people start their research.<br /><br />While it&rsquo;s true that SEO is extremely important, B2Bs can&rsquo;t rely solely on it for online marketing success. Businesses that are marketing themselves online need to take advantage of the many outlets that are available. B2Bs need to market the business in many different ways and shouldn&rsquo;t view any component of online marketing in a silo. Every online touchpoint works together to get that final conversion. Each online marketing tactic feeds into the next in order to cater to all of your audiences that choose to consume information in different outlets.<br /><br />In addition to B2B SEO, B2Bs need to execute strong content marketing, social media marketing, and advertising strategies online in order to cover all of the bases. Many businesses make the mistake of only focusing on one or two strategies, because they think that the others aren&rsquo;t having any kind of effect. The reality of the situation is much more complex. It&rsquo;s very difficult to measure everything that contributed to the final conversion. A final decision may have been made after an organic listing was found (SEO), an article was read (content marketing), and an interesting Twitter post showed up in their feed (social media). Since all of these outlets contributed to the conversion, they are all important.<br /><br />What you really can&rsquo;t do is put too much emphasis on where that final conversion came from. For example, just because you aren&rsquo;t seeing the direct correlation between sales and social media activity, that doesn&rsquo;t mean that you should cancel your social media accounts. It&rsquo;s likely that at some point along the line during the B2B decision process your social accounts were viewed. In fact, if you didn&rsquo;t have a social presence that could be a potential red flag to B2B decision makers that have become more savvy about how online marketing works.<br /><br /><a href="http://seodon.weebly.com/" target="_blank" title="">SEO</a> is just one way to capture target audience attention online. It works best as part of a well rounded and integrated strategy that includes many other tactics. The businesses that have the most success are the ones that build a strong online presence in many different locations and outlets.</div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[SEO Copywriting Rules to Follow]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-blog/seo-copywriting-rules-to-follow]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-blog/seo-copywriting-rules-to-follow#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 07 Feb 2013 10:04:26 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-blog/seo-copywriting-rules-to-follow</guid><description><![CDATA[When writing copy that is going to be published anywhere it&rsquo;s important to consider the basics- correct spelling, language, grammar, structure, organization, etc. However, writing for the web and more specifically, for SEO purposes, is a different kind of writing that requires additional thought.SEO Copywriting Rules to FollowHere are 3 important SEO copywriting rules to follow:Incorporate keywords as appropriateOne of the primary ways that people find content online is through the search  [...] ]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">When writing copy that is going to be published anywhere it&rsquo;s important to consider the basics- correct spelling, language, grammar, structure, organization, etc. However, writing for the web and more specifically, for <a href="http://seodon.weebly.com/" target="_blank">SEO</a> purposes, is a different kind of writing that requires additional thought.<br /><br /><strong>SEO Copywriting Rules to Follow<br />Here are 3 important SEO copywriting rules to follow:</strong><br /><strong><br />Incorporate keywords as appropriate</strong><br />One of the primary ways that people find content online is through the search engines. The search engines deliver results that are relevant to a search query based on the keywords that were searched for. While keywords are often incorporated into content naturally when writing, it is especially important to pay attention to when writing for the web. Conduct keyword research in order to find out how people might be searching for the kind of content that you are writing. The Google AdWords keyword research tool is a free and valuable resource. Of course, the first priority is always the reader. You never want to make it obvious that you are targeting a specific keyword by adding it in too many times. The reader will have a bad experience and it raises a red flag to the search engines that view &ldquo;keyword stuffing&rdquo; as a spammy approach.<br />Add links<br /><br />Links are still the &ldquo;bread and butter&rdquo; of <a href="http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-company-bhubaneswar.html" target="_blank">SEO</a>. The search engine spiders crawl the web from link to link and links are what help determine the authority of a website and the relevance of website content. When writing offline content this obviously isn&rsquo;t something that you need to think about, however it&rsquo;s extremely important when writing for the web. The ultimate goal of website content is to get readers to click over to your website for more information. If your content is great and gets shared and linked to, you are missing out on a huge opportunity if you don&rsquo;t include links back to your site within the content. For example, if you publish a guest post on another blog, link back to your own blog somewhere within the post, even if it&rsquo;s in an &ldquo;About the Author&rdquo; section. This will improve your link portfolio and generate traffic back to your site. It&rsquo;s also important to link to outside sources when necessary. Instead of simply quoting a reference, link back to the web page where the material appears. The webmaster of that site will appreciate the mention and link and may return the favor someday.<br />Be original<br /><br />There is plenty of low quality web content out there and much of it was &ldquo;scraped&rdquo; from other sites. The search engines favor original, quality content and penalize sites that include duplicate content. While it may be difficult deciding on content topic ideas on a regular basis, never copy something that you find somewhere else- even if you give credit. Instead, use that as inspiration to create your own content. The search engines, and consumers, appreciate thought leaders and those that create original content. If you are simply sharing the work of others you aren&rsquo;t really forming any kind of identity or establishing trust.</div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to Execute SEO with a Small Budget]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-blog/how-to-execute-seo-with-a-small-budget]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-blog/how-to-execute-seo-with-a-small-budget#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Sat, 02 Feb 2013 14:37:35 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[how to execute seo with a small budget]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-blog/how-to-execute-seo-with-a-small-budget</guid><description><![CDATA[SEO is extremely important for any business that wants to improve its online presence and good SEO does cost money.

Unfortunately many small businesses don&rsquo;t even bother looking into SEO because all they think about is the cost that is associated with it. While it&rsquo;s true that a small business with a limited budget certainly can&rsquo;t hire an in house SEO Specialist and may not even be able to pay the monthly fees associated with a full service SEO firm that doesn&rsquo;t mean that they can&rsquo;t do any SEO at all. No, we aren&rsquo;t telling you to look into those cheap <a href="http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-for-beginners.html" target="_blank">SEO services</a> that promise thousands of links and a number one rank for $50 a month. There are other ways to incorporate search engine optimization into your marketing strategy on a small SEO budget.<br /><br /><strong>How to Execute SEO with a Small Budget<br />Here are 3 ways to &ldquo;do&rdquo; SEO that won&rsquo;t cost a small fortune:</strong><br /><strong><br />Learn the basics for free</strong><br />If you operate a small business and haven&rsquo;t done any SEO for your website yet, it&rsquo;s a good idea to start small by learning the basics and then implementing it on your own to start. There are plenty of excellent free SEO resources that can easily be found online. The first place to start is probably the Google Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide. Google is the primary search engine, so you&rsquo;ll want to make sure that you are following the guidelines and best practices that Google sets forth. Bing also provides resources for website owners. If you&rsquo;re looking for more information, conduct a simple search for &ldquo;SEO blog&rdquo; and you&rsquo;ll find plenty of results. Of course, you&rsquo;ll want to get your baseline of knowledge from Google so that you will know to stay away from the blogs that look suspicious or inaccurate.<br />Execute a campaign designed by an SEO firm<br /><br />The usual process is for an SEO firm to take a full service approach and do all of the work- from keyword research, to on site optimization, to link building and reporting. If you are unable to pay for these services it may be possible to have the up-front work done by a firm while you execute the rest on your own. For example, an <a href="http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-tips.html" target="_blank">SEO</a> firm can review your current links and then set up a 12 month link building strategy that addresses the areas that would be ideal to gain links from based on your website and niche.

Typically what happens is that SEO duties get handed off to someone in the marketing department that already has a busy schedule. In a very small business, the owner themselves may take on the work. While this is less than ideal, it&rsquo;s the only option for businesses that are working with a small budget. Doing some SEO work is always better than doing none at all. Procrastination often happens when it seems like SEO activities are too complex or there isn&rsquo;t enough time. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s important to break it down so that it is manageable.<br /><br /><strong>SEO Activities Don&rsquo;t Have to be Overwhelming<br />Here are 3 tips for getting SEO activities done when things are busy:</strong><br /><strong><br />Focus on one link at a time</strong><br />It&rsquo;s recommended to outline a 12 month link building strategy so that you know what activities should get done and when. It helps to keep things organized. Depending on the age/trust of the website, the industry, and competition you could be aiming to build anywhere from 10-50 (or higher) links a month. Looking at that spreadsheet each month, it can seem like a lot of work. However if you break it down and focus on building one to three links a day it doesn&rsquo;t seem so overwhelming anymore. Write a few blog comments one day, submit a press release that includes a few links another day, and add/update a local profile on another day. Set aside a small amount of time each day and the work will be done before you know it.<br />Add content writing to your schedule<br /><br />Content is a huge component of SEO today. The content that you publish is what gets crawled and indexed by the search engines and improves your social signals. Incorporating an active blog to your website is a great <a href="http://seodon.weebly.com/what-is-sem.html" target="_blank">SEO tactic</a>, but many business owners and marketers complain that there just isn&rsquo;t enough time to write content. While it&rsquo;s ideal to add a new blog post every day, it&rsquo;s understandable that that&rsquo;s just not possible for many businesses. Instead, focus on one a week and build it into the schedule of the blogger so that they have a specific time each week that should be spent on writing. An editorial calendar helps to keep things organized.<br />Utilize social media tools<br /><br />Like content marketing, social media is also now an important component of an SEO campaign. It&rsquo;s important to utilize social media to promote content and engage with others. It&rsquo;s necessary to monitor social media and respond to fans/followers but some social media activities can be scheduled ahead of time. Using a tool like Hootsuite, you can schedule social media posts ahead of time. That way, when things get busy or you know that you won&rsquo;t be at your desk, your social accounts aren&rsquo;t suffering.<br /><br />With the right amount of knowledge, it&rsquo;s true that anyone can execute SEO activities. Taking it day by day makes it a much less daunting task.</div> <hr style="width:100%;clear:both;visibility:hidden;"></hr>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[What to Know Before Outsourcing SEO]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-blog/what-to-know-before-outsourcing-seo]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-blog/what-to-know-before-outsourcing-seo#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Sat, 02 Feb 2013 14:29:54 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[what to know before outsourcing seo]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://seodon.weebly.com/seo-blog/what-to-know-before-outsourcing-seo</guid><description><![CDATA[The challenge when it comes to e-commerce SEO is that the website is continually changing.

Products are added, products are dropped, and the inventory is never the same. Optimization of a static website only needs to be done completely once, and then revisited every year or so. E-commerce SEO is ongoing. Depending on what the products are that you sell on your e-commerce site, there&rsquo;s a good chance that you aren&rsquo;t the only one selling it. The best way to get your product noticed is to get the product page to rank within the search engines.<br /><br /><strong>Here are 5 e-commerce SEO best practice tips:<br />Do keyword research</strong><br />Owners of e-commerce websites often think that this step isn&rsquo;t needed because everything is pretty straightforward. It&rsquo;s still important to know how people are searching for your products. Are they searching using the brand name or not? Broad keywords often have a lot of competition so it&rsquo;s advisable to stay away from them and instead use long tail or more niche keywords. These keywords should be incorporated into the content on the page including the title, h tags, and URLs. The URL shouldn&rsquo;t just be a string of letters and numbers that are meaningless. They should accurately reflect what is on the page.<br /><br /><strong>Optimize pages by demand:</strong><br />If you have thousands or even hundreds of products, it&rsquo;s going to take time to optimize all of the pages. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s best to do it in chunks. Start with your most popular items that people are searching for and then work your way down.<br />Write descriptions for every product<br /><br />If you just have the product name and an image, it may be enough for a human visitor but it&rsquo;s not enough for the search engine robots. The search robots can&rsquo;t see images which is why it&rsquo;s important to include a unique description of each product. This also gives you the opportunity to sell. If others sell the same product, don&rsquo;t copy their description or use the product description from the manufacturer. Doing so is essentially duplicating web content which is a big search engine &ldquo;no no&rdquo;.<br /><br /><strong>Get product reviews:</strong><br />Before people make a purchase they want to see what others are saying about it. Allowing reviews on your site helps create more unique content (that&rsquo;s free!) around the product on each page that can get crawled and indexed. It&rsquo;s this &ldquo;fresh&rdquo; content that brings the search engine spiders back to the page. Reviews provide a better user experience and the search engines reward pages with a good user experience.<br /><br /><strong>Make the site usable and secure:</strong><br />This isn&rsquo;t an SEO tip per say, but the best <a href="http://seodon.weebly.com/offpage-seo.html" target="_blank">SEO</a> in the world is useless if your e-commerce site isn&rsquo;t easy to navigate or isn&rsquo;t secure. People should be able to find the product that they want easily using only a few clicks. If the site isn&rsquo;t secure people aren&rsquo;t going to buy anything. Include contact information and return/exchange policies to improve the &ldquo;trust factor&rdquo; of the site.</div>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
