Website Search Engine Optimization, or Website SEO, is different strategies and tools utilized to make a website discoverable within search engines. Team1Good's mission is to get your website a high ranking within thousands of search engines, which will result in a noticeable increase in your website traffic.

Team1Good will "Flip" your website by increasing your number of visitors, enhancing your website popularity with search engines, and broadening your website appeal, by creating a strong social media presence for your website name. We give you a proactive option to drawing people to your website and creating an online presence for your brand. Our clients range from NBA, NFL, and MLB players, to businesses, actors, models, gaming websites, to at-home moms and dads, who have a home-based business. We also buy websites and improve their online presence.

People use the internet to get and give information. There are more websites on the internet than there are people online, but, even the best designed website, offering the greatest content, will not be found, if search engines can't find it. Search engines receive an estimated 90% of all Internet traffic. For your website to be successful, it's critical that your website be found when potential customers come searching for content like you offer. Team1Good will submit your website to thousands of search engines, including all the major ones like Bing, Google, Yahoo, Alexa, Ask, About, AltaVista, LookSmart, MSN, Infospace, HotBot, AllTheWeb, Netscape, Lycos, AOL, Excite, and 1000s more! With over 90% of Internet shoppers using Search Engines or Directories to find what they want, your website can then be found by millions of people searching for your specific content.

Your website will be listed at as many Search Engines as possible, to achieve the best results for more website traffic. Every month, Team1Good will re-submit your website for the term of service you sign up for with us. Re-submitting, monthly, will keep your listing current, with the Search Engines. Team1Good will also use our own e-mail address for submission purposes, so you won’t receive the many 1000s of confirmation e-mails from search engines we submit your website. Instead, we e-mail you a detailed submission report every month, outlining your submission activity.

2. Have each one of your pages target one similar keyword. This makes it a lot easier for search engines to index your website properly and for the AdSense ads to be more relevant to your content.

3. Do not include too many hyperlinks in your pages or Google Adsense ads, either.

4.If you are targeting "keywords" make sure they appear in the title of your website and in the description.

5. Your content should inform and enlighten (entertain) your visitors. How do you accomplish this? Create website content that you love and are passionate about. People don't like to admit this, but there are alot of people just like themselves, with the same interests and dislikes.

6. Edit! Often times, simply re-arranging a few words can lead to a giant jump in your page rankings with search engines.

Increase Website Traffic: A Five Minute Lesson

noreply@blogger.com (TeaM 1 Good) — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 13:29:00 +0000

Instant success is a rare achievement for any website not created by a corporation or promoted by a celebrity. You simply cannot expect to create a website and get tens of thousands of people viewing it overnight. Ninety percent of people looking for websites find them via search engines. Here's the Team1Good system for dramatically enhancing your chances at receiving a high ranking with search engines.

Your success depends on your willingness to spend hundreds of hours manually submitting your website to search engines, article directories, RSS feeds, and press release directories, creating a social network presence (I prefer the partnering of Youtube, MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, StumbleUpon, Twitter, and a blog on Google's Blogger.com ;)- And, working an additional few hundred hours optimizing your website's HTML code, keywords, links page- Then, you can squeeze in however many hours you work providing your content and updating everything I just mentioned. If you would like to skip all that work, contact Team1Good@inbox.com, so you can concentrate solely on providing your content. If you are up for getting down to all the aforementioned work- read on...

You've heard the metaphor "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink." Well, your website is the "water", so make sure it's clean and inviting! How do you make sure your website is search engine friendly?

Make sure you have plenty of relevant and interesting content on your website.
Develop your website in HTML format- this is most easily read by search engine "crawlers".
Static pages are also recommended as they are easier to read by the search engine crawlers.
Try to include a sitemap, this helps the search engine find all the pages that are listed within your website.
Update your website frequently so that your webpage doesn’t become ‘stagnant’ and drop down in ranking position.

Keywords are crucial to the search engine success of your optimized website. Identifying the right keywords for your product/service is essential. When creating keywords that you want to "target", research your competitors and see what words they are targeting. It is also recommended you make a list of the main products/services that you want to come up for in search engines. Remember, targeting the most common or general keyword you can think of is often not the best idea. This will often have the most competition and be harder to optimize than a specific keyword that is regional. Take the example of the keyword: "furniture"

As you can guess, the keyword ‘furniture’ would be very competitive because it is so general. Anybody could be searching for information about building furniture, furniture retailers, furniture repairs, outdoor furniture etc. coming up under this search term. The better idea is to be more specific, targeting keywords that are more relevant to your business such as ‘business furniture Sydney’. This has two main advantages: it's less competitive, making it easier to get to the higher ranking, and it brings much more targeted traffic/visitors to your website.

Once you have identified all of the keywords, implement them within your website. There are key areas where you will need to place these keywords in order to get your website ranking higher in the search engines. First, consider the Meta Tags. The meta-tags of a website can be found when you look in the Source Code of your website.

There are three main types of Meta Tags that are the most important to optimize. These are the crucial areas to include your keywords that you have found during your research.
The main Meta Tags are: Title Meta Tag, Keyword Meta Tag, Description Meta Tag.
Make sure that you place all your keywords within these meta-tags as these are one of the first places a search engine will look when indexing your site.

Now you are ready to get to work, implement your strategy, and increase your visibility! If you have followed all the steps I have given you, and made the necessary changes to your website, you are now all set up for submitting your website to all the search engines. Submitting your website to the search engines is the most time consuming process of a search engine optimization phase. There are over a million search engines. Thousands of websites are submitted each day. You must have patience in this phase, because it can take from 1-day to 12-weeks before your website is listed on a particular search engine.

It is a good idea to submit your website once a month to the search engines to remind them that you are still there and to alert them of any changes that have been made to your website. This encourages the search engine spiders to continue visiting your website and check for any updates. Also, it gives you a good chance to have your site re-indexed, if you happened to slip through the indexing process the first time. I would also suggest not submitting your website more than once a month, as this can be considered spamming and your website will be banned. Remain patient!

Lastly comes what I believe is the most essential variable in how your website's popularity is affected. I'm talkin' 'bout "linking" your 'site to other websites. Developing links coming into your website is a crucial part of search engine optimization. Links from other websites to your site are considered by search engines to be a ‘vote’ of validation for your website, as they are referring and recommending their users to visit your website. This is the reason websites with more incoming links will have a better chance of ranking higher in the search engines than a website with no incoming links.

Do not submit your website to link farms (this can result in your site being dropped from the search engine)
Avoid paying for links or buying links (as above, can result in being dropped)

The best way to get links coming to your website is providing the best quality content you can offer your visitors. Interesting articles and relevant topics will encourage other websites to link back to your site naturally, and you will see an increase in your link popularity over time. Yet another way is to find websites relevant to your website. This could be mutually beneficial, exchanging links. This is termed to be a reciprocal link, which is often an effective way to increase relevant links coming through to your website quickly and easily.

Follow the steps I just gave you and you are on your way to successfully optimizing your website! Yeah! I promise you- If you give your maximum effort and focus on what it takes to be successful, I assure you your website will increase it's search engine rankings and start a steady stream of visitors to your website.

Increasing Website Traffic Can Be War

noreply@blogger.com (TeaM 1 Good) — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 12:49:00 +0000

The myth about website traffic is the perception that there is a magic button, or software, that can actually make thousands of people visit your website overnight. If you own, or are creating a website, you know the reality of building and operating a successful website is difficult, but fun work, which differs greatly from the lie of instant, dramatic, increased website traffic.

If you see an advertisement that states "20,000 visitors to your website- $15!" You are reading a blatant lie. Simply, pump the brakes on your ambition and think about it. The internet is made of real, independent, individuals. Unless, like the real world, you have instant credibility (ESPN, CNN, FOX, CBS, MSNBC, DELL, NFL, NBA, MLB, NRA, NBC, HBO- and the like), or celebrity star power (Shaq, LeBron James, Terrell Owens, Ashton Kutcher, Justin Timberlake, Britney Speares, Chad Ochocinco), you can be sure 20,000 individuals will not, suddenly, be hit with the urge to click on your website. The easier way to see the scam of "set website traffic" is merely to ask yourself, "How are they able to "set" a number for the exact amount of visitors my website will get hits from?" I'll answer that for you, they are going to "ping" your website with traffic enhancing software. Yes, there are more than plenty of vultures on the internet, waiting for you to allow your ambition to run unthwarted into their web of deceit. Any website can be "hit" by these statistic enhancing applications. Right now, Team1Good has the capabilitiy to "hit" your website with 150,000 unique visitors, every hour, who are visiting you from different websites and countries. We can hit any page you want us to- Statistically, We can place your daily page views above that of Facebook, Myspace, Youtube, and Twitter- COMBINED- except for one problem... There is no way to click those ads/advertisements. How would you explain away that of your 1 billion visitors- per day (lol)- not a single one clicked on an ad, on any of your pages?

On the internet, even the most savvy of business people are reduced to big ice fishermen, walking on thin ice. Falling through the thin ice, while chasing a wild advertising lie, will set you back greatly. It is a long process to getting thousands and thousands of people to make your website a part of their individual online routines. It will always come down to you providing good content for your visitors, which they can quickly assess. Unless you're signing up and submitting your website to thousands of relevant search engine directories, creating articles about your website, then submitting them to thousands of article directories, establishing links with other good websites, RSS feeds and press release websites, then, spending time creating a social network presence on Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, blah-blah-blah... you can expect to struggle at finding consistent website traffic to your website. It takes many, many, hours away from your ability to create the best website and content you possibly can offer.

That's why we started Team1Good. There are millions of people who have invested their time and created a website, but are now casualties of the war to increasing website traffic. When they see how daunting and tedius promoting and marketing online can be- they quit- they lose their motivation and the fun involved with building a real entity on the internet. Doubt sabotages all their hard work because it simply is not easy to increase website traffic, but it can be done. We only take on 20-30 clients each year, because of our hands-on, proactive, dedicated to your success approach. We develope a collaborative relationship with you, to find out your goals for your website. Through experience we do not want to see any one victimized, or burned, by obvious lies posted on the internet about increasing website traffic to one's website. You can procure the services of Team1Good to do all the meticulous tasks for you, or continue reading our blog, Flip My Website, and learn to do it yourself.

Website Traffic Increase? Establish Your Niche

noreply@blogger.com (TeaM 1 Good) — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 21:24:00 +0000

Team1Good provides you free information because we want to see you succeed. Most likely, you're not a corporation like E-Bay, or a celebrity like Justin Timberlake, nor a famous athlete like NFL superstar Terrell Owens, or NBA great LeBron James, all of who could announce their intentions to start a website- and without effort have millions of people leaving virtual vapor trails on the internet to get to their 'sites. Unless you're rich or famous, getting people (website traffic) to visit your website is a full-time effort. Don't worry, though, Team1Good has three free and simple ways you can increase website traffic, with confidence.

1. Create Links
Linking to, and getting linked from, other websites is the most popular and successful strategies you can utilize to drive traffic to your website, and enhance your websites visibility with the search engines. Be sure that the websites you link to have some relationship to the category of your website. The best websites to link with are often times .gov or .edu websites.

2. Pay Attention to Your Meta Tags
Another way of to acquire traffic for your website is by having your Meta tags contain keywords which target your business. Meta tags help search engines in describing your web page. If you're quite adept with the HTML aspect of your web pages, manipulating your meta tags would be a breeze.

3. "Keyword" Laced Interesting Content
Writing or acquiring articles that provide solid information regarding your business is one of the best ways. Make use of free keyword suggestion tools like Overture, which will help you create keywords, or phrases, to lead more traffic to your website. Making these write-ups interesting and genuinely informative will create many repeat visitors to your website.
Submitting these articles to various article directory listings will provide more visibility for your business, too, as long as you keep your resource box intact to create for yourself numerous back links.

These methods are free, but time consuming. You can be certain, though, that if you give each of theses steps your full focus and time, they will- guaranteed- bring you solid streams of website traffic.

SWaP Me SPoRTS... A FeeL GooD SToRY

Tara Griggs wasn't trying to improve your community on the warm spring day she decided to clean out the garage of her Simsbury, Connecticut, home, but, fate has a funny way of popping into one's life.

Stymied by a pile of rarely used sports equipment, she did not want to merely throw away, and the inevitable question of "What am I gonna do with all this crap?". And, after getting the same kind of responses from friends, Tara decided to re-purpose the pile of, in-good-condition, used sports equipment in to an idea called Swap Me Sports, a website that would be a safe environment for one-and-all to join and buy, sell, trade, or donate, their no longer needed sports equipment.
In a recent Hartford Magazine interview, Tara explaned, "I knew we could do it... strengthenng the idea of sports unifyng the communities." And, then, in August, the national brand Clorox approached her, via Facebook message, about joning forces to help prevent MRSA, with NBA star Grant Hill, who nearly died from the bacterial infection, workng as spokesperson. The magic of swapmesports.com took the big stage on September 13, 2010, in a press conference held in New york, along with Clorox and Grant. It was a special moment of validation for Tara and everyone involved with Swap Me Sports.
But, what separates Swap Me Sports from the likes of Amazon, Ebay and Bidz, it's mission to not only allow members to buy, sell or trade on it's website, holding true to their mantra of "of giving back", SwapMeSports.com provides the option for members to actually donate their equipment.
Asked to summarize the success of Swap Me Sports, Tara, graciously, expounds, "We are a success because of the communities that support us...". It's difficult to explain the formula for the success of any venture, but one common variable is "good", which Swap Me Sports supplies by the ton. Make a visit to: swapmesports.com- It's a cool website! I wouldn't steer you wrong:)
