type='text'>The Development of SEO in China Has Many Defects</title><content type='html'> &lt;P&gt;It is undeniable that SEO developed rapidly in China since its appearance. But as far as we know, due to environmental and time constraints, SEO does not develop smoothly and it even brings some negative impacts.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;Major Defects&lt;/B&gt;: &lt;BR&gt;Because SEO service is an emerging industry in China, there are no laws or regulations to supervise it. Therefore, the market prices in the SEO market are chaotic and in some places cut-throat competition appears.Few people are really familiar with this new technology. In China, there are few books about search engine optimization and top SEO professionals are rare and scarce, so most people could not find the right way to study it. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Some people may misinterpret some SEO concepts and consider the misinterpreted concepts as the right ones. It is harmful to SEO development.Because of lack of the SEO talents, search engine optimization techniques in China are lacking in integrated planning and proper strategy. Each SEO worker does things in his own way and seldom exchanges experiences with others.&lt;P&gt;All these cause the industry to be short of self-discipline and regulation. If this continues, SEO industry in China will be in great trouble in the near future.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;However, although there are many defects in SEO development, I still think the prospect of SEO in China is hopeful. In this industry, only those intelligent ones can help SEO techniques develop well. It is hoped that more and more SEO experts will appear in the future and devote themselves to this promising industry.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Sharon R Chen is working in a company which provides high quality SEO services.

Social networks are usually an option for the small businesses mainly because they are free and they also offer a wide range of apps that can make promoting really easy. However, there is still a need of traditional search engine optimization and online marketing in order to attract traffic on their &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;s.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Social networks have an important advantage and that is the fact that they offer the business owners the chance to promote their &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; through the network that they themselves create. As the main role of social networks is to bring together people that share the same interest this is actually a very good way of brand awareness. The marketing idea behind this is that: where there are people there is traffic.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Traffic strategies usually revolve around mobilizing a large number of individuals to try out a new product or service and also to make them visit your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;. However, social network marketing does have its downside and that is: the target group. It is a known fact that social network users are aged between approximately 14 and 30 years old. This is why if you have a business or a product that is destined for another age group then using such networks may be a bit difficult.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Something else that you have to bear in mind is the fact that in such places you will have to present your products or your services carefully. This is why you should not take into consideration some of the traditional advertising methods. You have to make sure that the whole concept around the item or service that you are trying to promote makes it appealing to customers. This is why you should ponder what exactly you can promote via social networks and what not.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;A search engine optimization campaign is something really important for brand awareness and product advertising. This is why you should do a lot of research before you start such a campaign. Something else that you might do is simply hire a team of specialists to help you.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://EzineArticles.com/5559243&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;View the original article here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/feeds/2315941260097416508/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/2010/12/social-networks-and-seo.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5176435427719139972/posts/default/2315941260097416508'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5176435427719139972/posts/default/2315941260097416508'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/2010/12/social-networks-and-seo.html' title='Social Networks And SEO'/><author><name>Vintage Images Software</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07444614941640978493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioZXM_C1Pehi5g0puAgrXjVaL7PfI1udVuJ4IyfWrt6uEw1_mr0LtHayggvRwQQP6LoCXg2KsquWVd5h5DKs1RYI5P_d0Z8A4kVN2EBrN_J82on4wn_21p7Iw0dDHO4OA/s1600/*'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176435427719139972.post-2479775891761041397</id><published>2010-12-27T18:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-27T18:28:00.439-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Investing"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Reasons"/><title type='text'>Top Reasons for Investing in SEO</title><content type='html'> &lt;P&gt;Marketing online has become very competitive and expensive.

This form of marketing is now becoming the main choice of marketing for most site owners because it&#39;s cheap and the effects are lasting.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you are not yet investing in SEO, you are missing out on one of the best forms of marketing online. Here are some of the top reasons why you should be investing in SEO.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Cost: Regardless of whether you intend to do it yourself SEO or hire a professional service, you will still be spending less in the long run. if you compare search engine optimization to other forms of marketing like? pay per click or ezine advertising, you will see that not only is it cost effective but these other forms of marketing will only bring you traffic temporarily.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Benefits: If you where to advertise using pay per click, your will be charged every time someone clicks on your ad. Regardless of whether the customer buys your products or services, you will be charged. As soon as your funds are depleted, your marketing campaign is discontinued. One of the main benefits of SEO is that as long as you are consistently optimizing your site for the search engines, you will be consistently getting free traffic. Even if you decide to invest by hiring an SEO service, you still would not pay as much as you would if you are using pay per click.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Competition: At the moment, competition isn&#39;t too strong. A lot of site owners and business owners are just becoming more aware of this type of marketing. Those who get on board now will have a greater chance of benefiting from it. Since SEO requires time and patience, the longer you wait, the more difficult it will be to compete later amongst your competitors.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Branding: Another great benefit why you should be investing in SEO is to build brand presence on the Internet. SEO will definitely give your business the needed boost that will give your business a strong presence making you to be an authority figure for that particular product or service. This can be accomplished by targeting specific keywords for your products and services and optimizing your site to be on the first page of the search engines whenever your keywords are been search for.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://EzineArticles.com/5514391&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;View the original article here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/feeds/2479775891761041397/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/2010/12/top-reasons-for-investing-in-seo.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5176435427719139972/posts/default/2479775891761041397'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5176435427719139972/posts/default/2479775891761041397'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/2010/12/top-reasons-for-investing-in-seo.html' title='Top Reasons for Investing in SEO'/><author><name>Vintage Images Software</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07444614941640978493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioZXM_C1Pehi5g0puAgrXjVaL7PfI1udVuJ4IyfWrt6uEw1_mr0LtHayggvRwQQP6LoCXg2KsquWVd5h5DKs1RYI5P_d0Z8A4kVN2EBrN_J82on4wn_21p7Iw0dDHO4OA/s1600/*'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176435427719139972.post-5746597073577461084</id><published>2010-12-27T09:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-27T09:06:00.445-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Consultant"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Engine"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Optimisation"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Search"/><title type='text'>Why Do You Need A Search Engine Optimisation Consultant?</title><content type='html'> &lt;P&gt;In any endeavor, getting the right person for the job is a must, especially if you&#39;re looking for a search engine optimisation consultant. If you hire someone who is unqualified or does not know how to do the job right, you will end up wasting time and effort. In the case of search engine optimization (SEO)-particularly SEO for small business-you are also risking your company&#39;s profits and reputation. Because of a disastrous SEO implementation, your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; could be banned from search engines, leading to lesser site traffic and sales, as well as negative public perception towards your company.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This is not to discourage you from getting assistance from a SEO consultant or one of the many SEO companies in Australia. In fact, they can do a lot to improve your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; and your online presence. These experts offer search engine optimisation packages that could be tailor made to your company&#39;s needs. At the very least, they can review your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; for the content and technical aspects. Based on their review, they can give recommendations on how to improve your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; for better site traffic, for instance. SEO companies in Australia can also do the actual content writing if you do not have the time or resources to do so. Indeed, SEO and web copywriting go hand in hand quite well. You may also want to leverage their expertise in developing and managing SEO campaigns. With the knowledge of different markets (local and global), a reputable SEO consultant can come up with SEO strategy and planning, like provide keyword researches and search-engine friendly CMS (content management system), to pull in quantity and quality in terms of &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; traffic.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When should you consider getting help from a search engine optimisation consultant? A good time would be when you are planning to redesign your current &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; or launching a new one. You would want the input of a search engine optimisation consultant as you develop a new &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;. When interviewing prospects, make sure to do the following:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;? Ask for some samples of their work for other clients and describe some of their successes as a search engine optimisation consultant&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;? Ask if they comply with the SEO guidelines for Google?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;? Ask if they have other strategy and planning services aside from doing optimizations for organic searches (e.g. consultation services regarding online marketing)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;? Ask how long before clients see the results of the SEO effort and what kind of results can be expected. Also, ask what the success criteria are (i.e. how can they tell that the SEO effort is successful)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;? Ask about experience as a SEO in your industry&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;? Ask about their experience in developing &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;s for international audiences&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;? Ask what SEO techniques are important for a top grade SEO consultant&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;? Ask how long they have been in operation.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Your choice of a SEO consultant will have a big impact on your business, so it is best to do some research first. There are plenty of articles on the Internet comparing SEO strategy and planning, as well as search engine optimisation packages. There are also articles on which SEO companies to avoid.

When competition is low on longer tail keywords then link building is not always necessary however when it comes to high competition phrases then link building is absolutely crucial and it is extremely important if you really want to rank well.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Links can be built via many different ways, these include forums, articles, link bait and comments and there&#39;s also a range of other methods! - There is no secret formula to links though, and if you create content that is good, people will link to it!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In a perfect world SEO&#39;s would not exist because people would create exceptional content that people naturally linked to, but unfortunately because people don&#39;t do this, SEO&#39;s like myself do exist, we create content, build links, promote content and deal with on-page SEO in order to get the site as optimized as possible for keywords.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you can create good content, make sure your pages are optimized for your keywords, and you can build links then you will naturally obtain a good search engine ranking.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://EzineArticles.com/5506468&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;View the original article here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/feeds/2032775146335114475/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/2010/12/truth-about-seo.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5176435427719139972/posts/default/2032775146335114475'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5176435427719139972/posts/default/2032775146335114475'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/2010/12/truth-about-seo.html' title='The Truth About SEO'/><author><name>Vintage Images Software</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07444614941640978493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioZXM_C1Pehi5g0puAgrXjVaL7PfI1udVuJ4IyfWrt6uEw1_mr0LtHayggvRwQQP6LoCXg2KsquWVd5h5DKs1RYI5P_d0Z8A4kVN2EBrN_J82on4wn_21p7Iw0dDHO4OA/s1600/*'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176435427719139972.post-9010118954805649712</id><published>2010-12-25T01:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-25T01:13:00.708-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Approach"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Relevant"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Understanding"/><title type='text'>Understanding the Relevant SEO Approach You Need to Take</title><content type='html'> &lt;P&gt;Any large or small business makes high efforts to accelerate the sales by choosing the most efficient method at the best rapport for quality and price.

In time, SEO has become at least as important as regular marketing techniques. It is well known that more and more people use Internet to define their searches. However, when it comes to web based companies, such as web design firms, discussion boards, hosting or domain companies and online shops, SEO is not an option, but a must. Do it properly and your business will raise automatically.&lt;/P&gt;This article has been viewed 3 time(s). &lt;BR&gt;Article Submitted On: December 14, 2010 &lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;IMG src=&quot;C:\Program Files\ABS\Auto Blog Samurai\data\SEO TRAFFIC VIDEO\SEO2\img.gif&quot; width=1 height=1&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://EzineArticles.com/5551202&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;View the original article here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/feeds/9010118954805649712/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/2010/12/understanding-relevant-seo-approach-you.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5176435427719139972/posts/default/9010118954805649712'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5176435427719139972/posts/default/9010118954805649712'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/2010/12/understanding-relevant-seo-approach-you.html' title='Understanding the Relevant SEO Approach You Need to Take'/><author><name>Vintage Images Software</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07444614941640978493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioZXM_C1Pehi5g0puAgrXjVaL7PfI1udVuJ4IyfWrt6uEw1_mr0LtHayggvRwQQP6LoCXg2KsquWVd5h5DKs1RYI5P_d0Z8A4kVN2EBrN_J82on4wn_21p7Iw0dDHO4OA/s1600/*'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176435427719139972.post-1900349021847867023</id><published>2010-12-24T16:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-24T16:20:00.287-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Business"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Listings"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Local"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Online"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Rules"/><title type='text'>The 6 Rules of Online Local Business Listings</title><content type='html'> &lt;P&gt;Local SEO is a goldmine, and the major local listing services have become a big part of the equation. Those that do not take advantage of it are among the majority of small business owners (for now). A full on search engine optimization campaign is time consuming, intricate and expensive. However, there are some SEO related things anyone can do to increase a business&#39; online presence. This means, if as a small business you can look beyond your daily tasks and spend just a little bit of time seeing to these basic 6 steps (listed below), you will be far ahead of the competition, or at least keeping up with the top players in your niche online (as far as local listings are concerned).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;1. Claim your company&#39;s profile(s)&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It is likely that somehow somebody (or something) created a listing for you business on one of the major local listing services out there already. As a business owner, you must own and control this. If your business is newer, or just not listed online at all, this is even more important. Either way, simply log into Google Places, Yahoo Local, and Bing Local and create or claim the listing profile that is rightfully yours. If it already existed, chances are that some information is incorrect, or that a lot of information is missing; at best. At worst, someone else created this listing because they are were so moved by their experience with your company that they wanted to tell the world about it, and it is usually because they were disappointed by a product or service you offer. If this is the case, then it is definitely time to claim the listing and get some positive reviews in there too to balance out your company&#39;s online reputation.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;2. Add Pictures&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The local listing sites love to offer an enhanced experience to their users above and beyond what a phonebook would offer, so it makes sense that when you add more interactive features like pictures and video, they will bump you to the top. Photos are an absolute must, and you can start with your company logo. From there photos of your staff, your storefront, inventory, or happy customers can go a very long way. Do not worry if you think your storefront, staff, or anything else don&#39;t look commercial perfect. People want to see the real side of your business. Yes, it is a good idea to look your best, but don&#39;t be fake and over done either.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;3. Add Video&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Video is seen by most users as not better or worse than pictures, but just another addition that gives more legitimacy to the user experience. Video also show the listing services &amp; search engines that you are serious. If pictures are an enhancement, then video is an above-and-beyond bonus feature. The video you upload doesn&#39;t have to be a professionally produced television-style advertisement. In fact an informative narrated PowerPoint presentation uploaded to YouTube and embedded into your local listing is more effective than an advertisement on many levels.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Other small businesses have found success in embedding customer video testimonials taken with a simple hand held video camera or webcam. I say do it all. At this point in the game, you can&#39;t go wrong with video, nor do too much of it. Just be sure to keep each video under 60 seconds. The &quot;now&quot; mentality of people on the Internet is a strange dynamic; while they can never make time to watch one 20 minute video, they seem to have more than enough time to watch twenty 1 minute videos in a row.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;4. Control information about your business online&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You are what you publish, especially online. If there is a local listing on one &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; with incorrect information, it is a certainty that other aggregator &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;s will pick it up and republish it. If this happens, it will make it more difficult for potential customers to find your business, and it is a mess of time and energy to track this stuff down to the source and clean it up. So start with the big directories (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.) and get the information in correctly and claim the listings by verifying with these services that they belong to you. Then track down all the other listing services you can (Yelp, Best of the Web, Foursquare, Merchant Circle, etc.) and start claiming those as well.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;5. Lots and lots of customer reviews&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ask customers to review your business on different sites (start with Google Places and then expand). Ask on your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;, on your Facebook Page, and on email signatures of outgoing customer emails. Not only do the reviews (good and bad) make you more credible to future customers, but the search engine based listing services love reviews. With all other variables being equal, if you have more customer reviews in your Google Places page than your competition, you are much more likely to be listed above the competition.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Keep in mind that there are customers that are not so happy with you and your business, and they are online too. A few bad reviews is not a bad thing, while you don&#39;t want to encourage this, you certainly don&#39;t want to be without a few. It makes the good ones that much more believable.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;6. You need to have a local phone number and local address&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes, I said need. Toll free numbers are cool looking, but if you are playing the local business game, the search engine based listing services look on your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; to see if the information you submitted is correct. So, if you have an 877 number on your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;, and not a local number, the credibility of your Google Places profile just went down. It is also not a bad idea so prospective patrons of your local business can see you are indeed a local company.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Additionally, a clearly listed local address at the footer of every page of your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; is a must. People want to be able to see that you are a real business and not a start-up-dreamer running things out of your garage. Also, the local online directories want to (again) be able to validate the information you submitted to them is correct.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Local search is the incredible evolution of the phonebook. While &quot;yellow page&quot; type companies have tried many incarnations of migrating their services to the web, the fact is, they are dinosaurs waiting to become extinct. It is because of the advent of the Internet itself that you, the small business owner, can publish yourself and promote yourself, by yourself and grow your business without any need to rely on traditional forms of mass media from the yellow pages to television and radio. The power is in your hands to gain as much exposure as you would like to have, you just have to go out there and do it.

Since people find what they want online via search engines, becoming successful in online business marketing doesn&#39;t involve merely putting up a painted sign. It means ranking high and being on top of the lists whenever someone searches for services that you offer---and this is where Search Engine Optimization or SEO comes in. SEO is a tactic which improvises your search rank. It isn&#39;t that hard, but it is often overlooked for all the wrong reasons.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Google, Yahoo, Bing, and all other search engines want to offer quality &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;s for their users. With this in mind, you need a top-notch &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; which both customers and search-engines can identify easily. Employing SEO is simply taking advantage of a search engine&#39;s propensity to ferret out the most attractive and up-to-date sites and putting them as the most viable in their lists. There are three simple steps to achieve online popularity: Cleaning your site design, reaching out with links, and creating good quality content.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Your site needs to be easy to find and to read. In order to do this, focus on what your target customers would want to search for. There are certain keywords which fit your kind of business that would also easily come to a customer&#39;s mind when they think of that certain service that you offer. Having decided on common keywords, be sure that they are appropriate so that both search engines and your customers can easily key them in and find you.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Google and its competitors send millions of dollars annually simply to develop search algorithms that present the highest-quality sites to users. What decides a top-quality &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; is how well-written it is, and how well maintained and updated the site is on a regular basis. Filling your site with matter which pertain exactly to your brand of business does wonders for rising to the top of the lists.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Search engines generally value a site which has a lot of traffic, that being a site that received a lot of visits. When your business marketing site is seen in the midst of other credible sites, these are clearly pointing at you saying &#39;check this site out. This site is good!&#39; Practice the art of link exchange, wherein you share links with other sites which share the same range of businesses as you do. You can choose to do this yourself or employ the use of a linkbuilder.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;SEO isn&#39;t really that intimidating. The Web has a lot of information which you can use to help improve your business marketing site.

There is definitely a skill to adding good copy to a &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;. The difficulty lies with it having to meet the needs of your target market, it has to read well, it has to portray your business and at the same time it has to make sense to the search engines.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In an ideal world you will have designed your site with your keywords in mind and already have appropriate pages to optimise. Along side your main keywords it has become increasingly important to integrate long-tail keyphrases into your copy (I will expand on long-tail keyphrases at a later date). They tend not to have a high search volume, they are very industry specific, and will usually convert better than the big keywords as they target the buyer at the end of the buying process (the stage when they have researched and know exactly what they want).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Stage two is structuring these throughout your site. Remembering that your content has to be written for your audience but with maximum emphasis on your chosen keyword. Search engines for all they can do they are limited by what you feed them. Below I will outline the best practices for distributing your keywords throughout your site.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. Heading tags need to be structured chronologically, making the h1 the most important and needs to include your main keyword. Your h2 will be your second most important keyword, and working down the page. Ideally do not try and optimise for more than 3 keywords per page.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. You should try to include an exact copy of the keyword from the heading within the first paragraph, and at least once more naturally throughout the text.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3. For maximum effect put strong tags around the first reference of your keyword.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;4. Integrate variations of your keyword and long-tail keyphrases naturally throughout your copy.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;5. If it is possible include them in a list.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;6. Finally optimise your page title tag with your main keywords. Google has a limit to the number of characters it will display so bare this in mind.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;7. Google has a limit of 70 characters for their page titles, be clever it needs to show the user your site is what they are looking for, at the same time its a prime position for your keywords.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;8. Meta description: Again has a limit to the number of characters. You need to grab the attention of anyone reading to ensure they follow it through to your site.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;9. Keyword tag thanks to poor SEO practices it does not hold the weight it once did. There is no limit on length, but only include the keywords you are optimising that page for.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;10. Make sure that point 7, 8 and 9 is unique throughout every page of your site.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;11. Any images throughout your site should be appropriate for you to add a keyword rich description in the alt tag. An alt tag is an alternative description for an image allowing users that are visually impaired to understand the site, so don&#39;t abuse them!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ensure you copy is written in a manor that reflects your business, keep it professional but there is no harm in adding some humor if it is fitting, keep your paragraphs concise and to the point. Finally rope in a few friends and family to read your copy before publishing it, the more critical the better (just as I am about to do now...).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://EzineArticles.com/5510485&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;View the original article here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/feeds/4552982658503174667/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/2010/12/seo-tips-keyword-distribution.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5176435427719139972/posts/default/4552982658503174667'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5176435427719139972/posts/default/4552982658503174667'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/2010/12/seo-tips-keyword-distribution.html' title='SEO Tips: Keyword Distribution'/><author><name>Vintage Images Software</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07444614941640978493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioZXM_C1Pehi5g0puAgrXjVaL7PfI1udVuJ4IyfWrt6uEw1_mr0LtHayggvRwQQP6LoCXg2KsquWVd5h5DKs1RYI5P_d0Z8A4kVN2EBrN_J82on4wn_21p7Iw0dDHO4OA/s1600/*'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176435427719139972.post-2381043890079260324</id><published>2010-12-22T11:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-22T11:28:00.719-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Design"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Website"/><title type='text'>The Design Of A Website And SEO</title><content type='html'> &lt;P&gt;There are many reasons that a business owner might be interested in redesigning his/her &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; and one of them could be the fact that it has poor results in search engine optimization. If you have out dated content on your site or it works slows then you should really consider face-lifting your site.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;An old &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; will get almost no traffic and will actually be ignored by such engines therefore becoming a black hole for your money. This is why you should take the time and analyze it carefully. Here are some things that you will have to look for on your site if you want to make a profit and increase sales figures.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It is true that the search engine technology has made some important advances but still having a &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; with a lot of flash will be quite troublesome. Even if the content is up to date, the search engine spiders will not read it simply because they can&#39;t. However, the sites of the major corporations have a lot of flash but still they are ranked very good. This actually happens because they have an extraordinary high rate of links. So if you cannot compare yourself to them then you should avoid flash.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you have splash pages on your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; then you surely are making a good impression on your visitors but not so much on the SEO spiders. As such pages usually don&#39;t have much content on them, nor links and are full of flash. This is why the rankings are horrible and the traffic on that &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; is very low.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The out of date content is a real problem both for human readers and for search engines. If you ignore to post something new every day or at least twice a week then the SEO engines will think that your site is dead and will no longer look at it. When and if this happens then you will lose a lot of your traffic. Search engine campaigns are very important because they can do wonders for your rankings, traffic and also you profit. So, why don&#39;t you consider starting one?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://EzineArticles.com/5566012&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;View the original article here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/feeds/2381043890079260324/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/2010/12/design-of-website-and-seo.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5176435427719139972/posts/default/2381043890079260324'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5176435427719139972/posts/default/2381043890079260324'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/2010/12/design-of-website-and-seo.html' title='The Design Of A Website And SEO'/><author><name>Vintage Images Software</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07444614941640978493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioZXM_C1Pehi5g0puAgrXjVaL7PfI1udVuJ4IyfWrt6uEw1_mr0LtHayggvRwQQP6LoCXg2KsquWVd5h5DKs1RYI5P_d0Z8A4kVN2EBrN_J82on4wn_21p7Iw0dDHO4OA/s1600/*'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176435427719139972.post-5141174845267994719</id><published>2010-12-22T02:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-22T02:09:00.201-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Engine"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Optimization"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Professionals"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Search"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Strategies"/><title type='text'>Top 3 Search Engine Optimization Strategies Used by Professionals</title><content type='html'> &lt;P&gt;Want to have a very good place on the WWW?

They have the marketing knowledge and with the widespread use of the internet, more and more people would be able to read articles regarding recommendations for &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; promotion online. Therefore, they would possess the basic skills for &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; promotion.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;One of the most common types of &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; promotion is through SEO. Search Engine Optimization is something that a lot of people are interested in looking at nowadays. With the rise of the search engines, a lot of people realize that search engines are very important channel for strangers to get information about their own business &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;s. Therefore, a lot of companies are working high to gain a high position in the results page.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Different engine would use different methods and weightings to rank a &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;. Therefore, you would find that the first &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; in Yahoo! may not be ranked as the first of Google. However, there are still some basic and simple tips that you can bear in mind indeed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;First of all, you should try to submit articles in some article directories in order to increase the backlink for your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;. As you may know, a lot of search engines would value backlinks. But you should find some reliable and strong backlinks. Article directory would be one of the common place for you to seek backlinks. You should submit articles and then add your own business &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; address there. Then, when the directory posts the article, your business &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; URL would appear as well and the search engines would realize and recognize that as a backlink.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;On the other hand, you can also use social bookmarking sites. This is a common way for people to promote businesses nowadays as well. You can try to join some social sites and then post URL of your business &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;. Of course, you should also use this chance to promote the products instead of just stating the &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;. This is a good chance for you to promote and direct the potential customers.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Some people think that only a fraction of visitors are the real target customers of a business if we are focusing on the search engine part and they would think that this is now efficient. However, engine is the fundamental part for promotion and search engine optimization is definitely important for a business to set up a firm base of customers. Therefore, even though the percentage of customers realized is low, you should still spend time and efforts in the SEO.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;To conclude, search engine optimization is something great and it can surely help a business &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; to achieve success. If you want to know more about SEO, you should not miss the chance to search online and you would find examples of successful &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;s regarding the search engine optimization work.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://EzineArticles.com/5519312&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;View the original article here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/feeds/5118225894331891297/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/2010/12/seo-tips-bring-your-seo-skills-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5176435427719139972/posts/default/5118225894331891297'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5176435427719139972/posts/default/5118225894331891297'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/2010/12/seo-tips-bring-your-seo-skills-to.html' title='SEO Tips - Bring Your SEO Skills To A Higher Level!'/><author><name>Vintage Images Software</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07444614941640978493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioZXM_C1Pehi5g0puAgrXjVaL7PfI1udVuJ4IyfWrt6uEw1_mr0LtHayggvRwQQP6LoCXg2KsquWVd5h5DKs1RYI5P_d0Z8A4kVN2EBrN_J82on4wn_21p7Iw0dDHO4OA/s1600/*'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176435427719139972.post-7285031663020836</id><published>2010-12-21T13:52:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-21T13:52:00.671-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Google"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Places"/><title type='text'>4 Ways to Rise to the Top in Google Places and Google Maps</title><content type='html'> &lt;P&gt;Smart phones have changed everything when it comes to local Internet search. Between the iPhone and Google Android based smart phones alone, companies are reporting upwards of a half million account activations daily! While somewhere between 15% and 20% of all searches on the web are done from smart phones these days, nearly 75% of ALL searches online no matter the device have to do with searching for local information. Let us not forget that nearly two thirds of all Americans search for local businesses online. It is time to get your Google Places page whipped into shape!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Google Places is a force to be reckoned with for certain. Not too long ago, Google changed the format of its search results page to include maps and local listings. This means that even if your actual &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; is not ranking on page one, yet, you can still get your Google Places page a front row seat in the meantime. Additionally, once you do get your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; ranking on the first page, now you have two mentions on Google&#39;s page one of your business instead of just one.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Please note that because of the recent enhancements Google has made to the search results page, local listings have become very competitive. Once upon a time, one could simply create a business listing on Google and get noticed. Things are a bit different going into 2011, and you can bet they will continue to evolve. For now, here are four action items you can do to make it way more likely you show up in the top 7 local search results Google displays on the first page:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;1. Include product or service keywords in your listing description.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It is smart to casually mention one or two cities or towns you service and sell to, but DO NOT over do this and do not throw city names into strange fields elsewhere on your page; this can be more damaging than helpful. It is good general practice to not over use key words anyway. Most importantly, make sure your description is written for people to read, not search engines.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;2. Make sure your Google Places profile is 100% complete.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When you are creating or editing your listing, you will notice in the right margin a percentage score of how complete your profile is. This must be 100% if you want Google Places to work for you at all. There are more than 20 different elements you can fill in and they all need to be complete. Having a 100% score can mean the difference between showing up on the front page of Google Places (or in the first 7 Google Places results on the regular Google search results page).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;3. Get a handful of client reviews on your Google Places page.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This can be the tiebreaker that makes the difference between being seen and not being seen. This is especially true in more competitive local markets. If all of your competition is sporting a 100% completion score on their profile page, what do you suppose both Google and prospective customers browsing the web will look for next? The review portion of your Google Places profile is mostly influenced by people outside your immediate control, and is therefore a variable Google is most likely to use to break ties in the case of ranking one listing above another. Across the board, you are doing really well if you 10 legitimate customer reviews working for you. Most Google Places profiles don&#39;t get near 10 reviews.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;4. Get listed and claim your profile in all of the top local directory services. &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This does sound a little backwards as we are talking specifically about Google Places here, but Google is a search engine company looking to continually validate its existence by providing the freshest most accurate data possible. This means that they are constantly looking at thousands of third party sources to ensure the data it has is correct. If you are not listed anywhere else, it may effect your ability to show up on the first page at all. To start you may want to consider the following: Yahoo Local, Bing Local, Yelp, Best of the Web, Hotfrog, and Foursquare. The same rules go for any of these listing services. Make the profiles as complete as absolutely possible!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Utilizing local listings on the Internet has always been considered a good practice, just as being in the phone book was just a good idea 20 years ago, but now local listings are vital. It has been considered a good SEO practice, but now it is essential to any SEO campaign. If you follow the guidelines in this article, you will at least have a good start in getting noticed and getting that phone to ring a little more.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Copyright (c) 2010 Enliven Group LLC&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Sean Burrows comes from a sophisticated background in financial services, private investing, interactive media consulting, and web-based public relations.

SEO target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search and industry-specify vertical search engines. This gives a &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; web presence.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;SEO are specialized techniques used to optimize your web site, to be Search engine friendly and increase your chances of placing well in searches. Learning proper SEO techniques can be like a daunting task, especially to those who are not familiar with the concept.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Here are some important points you should keep in mind when developing and marketing your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. Make sure that your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; is initially designed with your search engine optimization needs. The trendiest web designs will mean nothing if no one is able to find your site.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. Every page of your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; has a title tag with text describing either your site or what is on the page. Be sure the text includes SEO-type keywords instead of the name of your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3. Every page on your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; should include a link to your home page and your site-map. Make sure every link is the same. Home page links should go directly to your domain.Make sure your internal links do not include the additional /index.html or.php text as it is not needed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;4. You will hear the same phrase over and over again: &quot;Content is king&quot;. It is imperative that your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; have fresh, unique, and quality content that is updated on a regular basis. Be sure to include your favorite keyword phrase within the body of the content!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;5. People are more likely to input a phrase instead of a single word when conducting internet searches. Try to use long keywords this will increase the chances of your site being seen in location searches.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Search engine optimization is much more than a few techniques or tips. SEO is a field of expertise, which requires a strong understanding of all aspects related to SEO before you can truly learn SEO.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://EzineArticles.com/5516961&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;View the original article here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/feeds/8921906357357386355/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/2010/12/important-tips-for-search-engine.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5176435427719139972/posts/default/8921906357357386355'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5176435427719139972/posts/default/8921906357357386355'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/2010/12/important-tips-for-search-engine.html' title='Important Tips for Search Engine Optimization'/><author><name>Vintage Images Software</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07444614941640978493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioZXM_C1Pehi5g0puAgrXjVaL7PfI1udVuJ4IyfWrt6uEw1_mr0LtHayggvRwQQP6LoCXg2KsquWVd5h5DKs1RYI5P_d0Z8A4kVN2EBrN_J82on4wn_21p7Iw0dDHO4OA/s1600/*'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176435427719139972.post-6498597657893347660</id><published>2010-12-20T20:14:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-20T20:14:00.509-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Engine"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Master"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Ninja"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Optimisation"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Personal"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Search"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Trainers"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Tricks"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Voodoo"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Wanting"/><title type='text'>3 Voodoo Ninja Jedi Tricks For Personal Trainers Wanting To Master Search Engine Optimisation</title><content type='html'> &lt;P&gt;Personal Trainers generally fret, or panic over Search Engine Optimization.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;They think it is some ninja jedi voodoo slight of hand trick.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Or, that it is some special club that you must pay an SEO expert 10&#39;s of thousands of dollars/pounds/euros to be a member of.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Or, maybe it is some magic trick performed by those geeky wizards who&#39;ve &quot;cracked the code&quot; (BTW, if I use the phrase &quot;cracked the code&quot; in any of my copy, feel free to shoot me!)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Or, even worse it is something that is only possible if you spend every waking minute optimizing, testing and refining to get ranked.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This one post will reveal ONLY what is important, try not to get distracted by what you may have been told before about SEO, what follows comes from my own obsession to find the &quot;right&quot; answers, investing a huge amount of time and money in getting the &quot;right&quot; education to understand this stuff properly.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So here is what is important for SEO:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. Domain Name &lt;BR&gt;2. Popularity &lt;BR&gt;3. Content&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Seriously that is IT!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anything else you have been told is basically wrong, misleading or dangerous. Let me go through each one in a bit more detail.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Domain Name:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Do NOT think flashy, cool, funky, bizarre, clever, a play on words... None of that helps for SEO&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Instead think &quot;Keywords&quot; or more accurately&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&quot;What do you want to be found for on Google?&quot;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you are a personal trainer in the Highgate area of London, you MUST own the domain, &lt;STRONG&gt;personaltrainerhighgate.com &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;That is what your prospects are searching for, Google LOVES exact match domain names and will rank you above more popular sites just because you have the exact keywords in your domain.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(BTW if you are in Highgate, this domain is AVAILABLE at time of writing, go get it guys!)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Popularity:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This is basically how many people visit your site, comment on your content, and link to your site from other places on the web.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Google knows how many people visit your site using &lt;STRONG&gt;Google Analytics &lt;/STRONG&gt;(HINT... this must be set up on your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; by you)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Google recognises when someone comments on your stuff, and sees that the page is regularly updated (HINT #2 easier done if your site is a BLOG using WordPress)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Google is clever enough to collect data on &lt;STRONG&gt;who links to your site&lt;/STRONG&gt;, some links are more valuable than others (HINT #3 make sure you are getting people to link back to your site!)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Google works on an Algorithm, the more links, more visitors, more activity for your site, the higher the score, the higher you appear on Google rankings.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Content:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Basically an extension of popularity. If you produce some good content, more people will visit, comment and link back, creating more visitors, comments and links. So the key here is to produce some damn good stuff people would like to link to.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So you can see this is not about &quot;gaming&quot; the system (Google is way cleverer than you), this is not about about any great magic trick, or &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/aqvnLA&quot;&gt;secret system&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It&#39;s all about people who are looking for your stuff, finding you, liking your stuff and choosing to link to your stuff.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Go buy that domain right now before your competitors do. Then get a WordPress site/BLOG built on to that domain and fill it with your best stuff.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Then do yourself a favour and link back to your site by commenting below to increase your &quot;perceived&quot; popularity (more on that in the next article)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://EzineArticles.com/5518608&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;View the original article here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/feeds/6498597657893347660/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/2010/12/3-voodoo-ninja-jedi-tricks-for-personal.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5176435427719139972/posts/default/6498597657893347660'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5176435427719139972/posts/default/6498597657893347660'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/2010/12/3-voodoo-ninja-jedi-tricks-for-personal.html' title='3 Voodoo Ninja Jedi Tricks For Personal Trainers Wanting To Master Search Engine Optimisation'/><author><name>Vintage Images Software</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07444614941640978493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioZXM_C1Pehi5g0puAgrXjVaL7PfI1udVuJ4IyfWrt6uEw1_mr0LtHayggvRwQQP6LoCXg2KsquWVd5h5DKs1RYI5P_d0Z8A4kVN2EBrN_J82on4wn_21p7Iw0dDHO4OA/s1600/*'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176435427719139972.post-623072708319906500</id><published>2010-12-20T11:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-20T11:26:00.411-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Engine"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="English"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Optimisation"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Outlined"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Search"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Simple"/><title type='text'>Search Engine Optimisation Outlined in Simple English</title><content type='html'> &lt;P&gt;So you have just been given a 12 page search engine optimisation campaign proposition, however the only thing you can figure out is how much you will need to fork out from month to month. The other terms are in an unknown language that you&#39;ve never heard of and consist of words such as page ranking, current position in Google, key phrase demand and competition. simply to point out a few!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Don&#39;t lose hope, with this easy SEO article, you&#39;ll be able to appear to be a pro soon!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;A SEO campaign (search engine optimisation campaign) is aimed at increasing the rankings of a webpage in search engines which would in turn result in more guests (and hopefully more business) to your site.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There are a couple of factors that would have an effect on your positioning on search engines:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Page ranking: Page ranking is a value which is allocated to a webpage based upon how important the search engines find that &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; to be. This value could be between zero and 10, with zero being a really low pagerank and ten being the greatest possible pagerank. For an internet site to be categorized as important, a page rank of between three and six would be more than acceptable - just a hand full of &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;s can boast with a page ranking of ten!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Incoming back links: If you have a lot of incoming hyperlinks to your webpage (backlinks from other internet &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;s to your webpage) this furthermore adds to your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;s status and definitely will play an vital role in your search engine rankings.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Keyword research: Prior to a search engine optimisation campaign can begin, it is necessary that proper research is done on your key phrases. The demand (number of searches for your specific search term each month) needs to be weighed against the competition (the amount of sites who competes for the specific key phrase) to decide which keywords are the best to focus on. As an example, if only ten people each month searches for pink polka-dot bikini, and 300 000 &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;s compete for this search phrase, it would not make sense focusing on this search phrase - the demand is not high enough and the competition too high.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Competitive analysis: This is an analysis of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;s you will be competing against. Their page ranks as well as amount of inbound hyperlinks are two of the variables that will be considered when this research is done.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Current positioning in Google: The existing positioning for a specific search phrase in Google, is the position where your webpage currently shows for the search term in question. Should you be targeting the word insurance, it will be of no use if your webpage only shows up on page twenty five of the insurance results. Internet users seldom searches further than the top 10 results, therefore it is crucial that your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; performs well on search engines like Google.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;On-site optimisation: This refers to the amount of work that will be necessary to set up your &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/1YlOC&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; correctly for SEO purposes. Home page title, key phrases, description tags, meta tags and so on are a handful of important items to check on your existing webpage.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Now that you shall no longer be SEO-uninformed, you can make an informed decision on the search engine optimisation pitch you acquired!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://EzineArticles.com/5522883&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;View the original article here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/feeds/623072708319906500/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/2010/12/search-engine-optimisation-outlined-in.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5176435427719139972/posts/default/623072708319906500'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5176435427719139972/posts/default/623072708319906500'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://seo-traffic-video.blogspot.com/2010/12/search-engine-optimisation-outlined-in.html' title='Search Engine Optimisation Outlined in Simple English'/><author><name>Vintage Images Software</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07444614941640978493</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioZXM_C1Pehi5g0puAgrXjVaL7PfI1udVuJ4IyfWrt6uEw1_mr0LtHayggvRwQQP6LoCXg2KsquWVd5h5DKs1RYI5P_d0Z8A4kVN2EBrN_J82on4wn_21p7Iw0dDHO4OA/s1600/*'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
