			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What do newspapers, radio, television, magazines, and Facebook all have in common? You guessed it! Advertising! Media bases a huge portion of it’s funding and budget of the support of marketing and advertising, and social media, such as Facebook, is know different. If you are trying to advertise your business or product, advertising through social media like Facebook can be one of the smartest marketing strategies you can employ.</p>
<p>Using marketing companies like SociBuzz to promote your business is a great strategy for <strong><a href="http://www.socibuzz.com">Facebook marketing</a></strong>. Social media advertising customers actually can enter specific parameters for searches, keywords, or other factors to cause their advertisements to appear on specific web pages. This means that instead of wasting product usable or even relatable, using Facebook promotion like SociBuzz to promote yourself targets specific demographics. Although your advertising campaign may not be quite as large scale, it reaches a more select demographic, who is in turn more likely to respond to your advertisements because they are interested in what you are marketing.</p>
<p>SociBuzz is an excellent platform for Facebook promotion because it returns a higher yield of profit than many other advertising groups. Most advertising and marketing groups make their profit by charging a high overhead to use their parameters and platform to target specific social media users; SociBuzz allows you to retain over 70% of your profit.</p>
<p>Internet advertisements pay on a per click basis; therefore it is infinitely beneficial to advertise to a specific demographic. If your advertisements are being shown to a group that is not particularly interested in the product or cause you are advertising, then chances are they will not be interested enough to click on the ad. However, if you are selecting key words and parameters to target a certain clientele, audience, or social media user, then the things those users are looking at on line will be matched to your advertisements. When the ads are matched to the pages and user’s interests, they will be more likely to click on the ads because they are related to specific interests, which in turn, creates a higher per click advertising yield for you, as the advertiser.</p>
<p>Companies such as SociBuzz help you to target your keywords and advertisements to these pages and users, but the cost of advertising can quickly add up. However, SociBuzz’s unique and low overhead bidding system allows you to utilize their service to match your keywords and target for a very low bid, often just pennies, to promote your advertisements and reach a specific related target audience while still retaining 70 % of your profits.</p>
<p>SociBuzz is quickly becoming one of the emerging leaders for Facebook promotion because they strive to be the one and only best leader in social media advertising. Rather than charging you an arm and a leg for services, they help you make your advertisements more profitable, which in turn allows you to continuing paying for advertising services because they do, in fact prove to be highly worthwhile and profitable. So let SociBuzz handle your Facebook promotion needs to day so that you, too, can enjoy the benefits of highly targeted social medial advertising.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Facebook is the most popular social media platform in the world, and its unparalleled ability to draw in millions of users every day gives it unprecedented power as a modern money-making tool for ambitious entrepreneurs.  Getting the most out of Facebook will require a basic understanding of its layout, features, and auxiliary apps.</p>
<p><strong>How it Works</strong></p>
<p>To get started with monetizing a Facebook page, a user should have something that they would like to sell or promote. Any good or service may be touted via a personal Facebook page or Facebook “business page”, and fans may “like” pages and posts to show their interest and approval. Fans may also post comments that page operators may respond to.</p>
<p>Oftentimes, the simple act of posting links, photos, contests, and notes related to products and services will be enough to generate sales and boost income; this is why so many modern corporations, entertainers, and online gurus devote plenty of time and energy to updating statuses and connecting with fans via their official Facebook pages.</p>
<p><strong>Proper Etiquette Will Help You to Make the Right Impression</strong></p>
<p>Now that you know a little bit more about which features you may use to promote on Facebook, you should also be aware that overt “hard-sell” on personal accounts (rather than business accounts) is usually perceived as spam. It’s better to do more intense promotional work via a business page. For personal pages, subtle promotion works well. Reciprocating by supporting others and their endeavors will also help you to build a strong online network that leads to new sales leads and more income.</p>
<p>Sculptors, musicians, authors, web designers (and anyone else under the sun!) will able to build more interest in their work and establish many important business connections through the power of Facebook. Entrepreneurs may also buy targeted Facebook ads that appear on the sidebars of personal Facebook pages.</p>
<p><strong>Use the Marketplace Application to Earn Money Online</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/facebook-marketplace-metafever.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-20227 alignnone" title="facebook-marketplace-metafever" src="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/facebook-marketplace-metafever.png" alt="Facebook Marketplace" width="371" height="275" /></a><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Another key money-making opportunity that you may access through Facebook is the Marketplace application; this easy-to-use buying and selling service is designed to let you list goods for sale in a free and convenient format. For example, if you love finding “treasures” at Internet auctions or yard sales and then flipping them for a tidy profit, you’ll appreciate the way the Marketplace app (which has over 900,000 users) gives you the freedom to sell without the sting of high user fees.</p>
<p>As you can see, Facebook is one of the most effective marketing and money-making tools that you will find anywhere. Using the service to its best advantage will lead to higher sales and more brand visibility online.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am in the middle of building a website. I think the domain is pretty good (AmsterdamRentals.com).</p>
<p>Now since this is a side project, I prefer to keep my staff focused on our larger and potentially more profitable projects. With that said, I usually go on the hunt for new freelancers who can take some of the burden with getting these new properties online quickly and effectively.</p>
<p>It sounds so simple with the advent of sites such as Odesk, Guru, Elance, etc., but for those of you who have used any of these &#8211; you know this could be further from the truth.</p>
<p>The biggest problem is that these sites are overrun by forign sweat shops who have a &#8220;Sales&#8221; guy who probably copy&#8217;s and paste the same generic cover letter in the hopes of landing the next $500 deal.</p>
<p>That creates the biggest problem for me (the job provider) because I refuse to work with these guys.</p>
<p>To illustrate this &#8211; I made a quick video to show exactly what I might go through in the first 1 hour of posting a job offer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So, as you can see from above &#8211; hiring and sourcing could be SO much easier.</p>
<p>This is a note to all freelancers; if you find yourself struggling try a new approach. Try reading the job post and spending more than 2 minutes applying for the job.</p>
<p>I guarantee that this simple yet effective strategy will go a VERY long way to helping you secure more work.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like most mornings I was sifting through my spam emails when something caught my eye.</p>
<p>Now normally, I quickly go through my spam folder to see if something important might have slipped through and then move on to more important things.</p>
<p>On a typical day, I see a lot these domain WHOIS spam emails trying to get me to buy the .net or a .com I own or vice versa. Usually I ignore these, but since I am in the middle of acquiring mass amounts of geo domains for my project (LocalSiteBuilder.com) one email really stood out.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/Tom-Harris-Email-YellowPagesOaklahomaCity.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20132" title="Tom Harris Email - YellowPagesOaklahomaCity" src="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/Tom-Harris-Email-YellowPagesOaklahomaCity.jpg" alt="" width="527" height="238" /></a></p>
<p>I had purchased the domain YellowPagesOklahomaCity.net, since it was a nice geo name with exact match keyword potential and now, I have an email telling me that I can own the .com version.</p>
<p>So I decided to check the link and see what the guys over at SwiftDomainRecovery.com are up to.</p>
<p>Below is what my eyes lay hold of. For an easy $99, I can buy the .com and close the deal in under 5 minutes. My first thought is that this is not too shabby of a business model. Heck they are probably buying dropped domains and doing a quick flip to make some quick cash.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/WebPage-DomainRecovery.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20133" title="WebPage-DomainRecovery" src="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/WebPage-DomainRecovery.jpg" alt="" width="525" height="351" /></a></p>
<p>But that is when I thought through the process . . . and I asked:</p>
<p>Why even buy the domain at all?</p>
<p>So I head over to Moniker.com and doing a check availability check.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/Moniker.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-20134" title="Moniker" src="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/Moniker-1024x528.jpg" alt="" width="528" height="271" /></a></p>
<p>BAM! – YellowPagesOklahomaCity.com is not even registered!</p>
<p><strong>So here are 2 ways to think about this;</strong></p>
<p>#1 – I could get mad that someone was trying to dupe me (wouldn’t be the first and I am sure it won’t be the last).</p>
<p>Or</p>
<p>#2 – I could thank these guys for the amazing free service they are offering me.</p>
<p>Think about it – now, I don’t even have to keep close tabs on sweet top TLD’s that are no longer registered.</p>
<p>I can just wait for their email and if the domain is enticing enough, I know I can head over to my favorite registrar and pick it up.</p>
<p>So while I still think SwiftDomainRecovery.com is a scam and that SwiftDomainRecovery.com sucks – I am still highly appreciative of the work they do.</p>
<p>FYI &#8211; I did register the domain, in case you wanted to try and grab it (too late!)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Affiliates need to make sure that they&#8217;re receiving full credit for every sale. For this, you want to find out what type of tracking software a company uses and make sure that it&#8217;s a legitimate, reliable service. If you are not properly tracked, you could end up losing your commissions. And the company is not going to shed a tear over this.</p>
<p>Once you have found techniques that work well, do not rely on them exclusively. You should always be on the look-out for new tools and new trends. You could broaden your audience or keep in touch with your customers, if the techniques you are currently using should become obsolete. Remember that everything becomes obsolete, sooner or later.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t bother with products that don&#8217;t convert, even if they advertise high commissions.  One webmaster reported that out of over 1000 clickthroughs to a vendor&#8217;s site, not one visitor actually bought the product.  Terrible conversion ratios like this are a sign that the product is not in demand or that there is something wrong with the product, such as a high price or poor copy on the landing page.<br />
<a href="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/How-To-Earn-Money-On-The-Internet.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-15806" title="How-To-Earn-Money-On-The-Internet" src="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/How-To-Earn-Money-On-The-Internet-300x222.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="222" /></a><br />
Good affiliates are those that communicate with their partners. Beyond automated systems, FAQ pages and resource databases, an affiliate that offers rapid person-to-person conversation is going to be much easier to work with. Webmasters should recognize the value of such individual communication.</p>
<p>Offering customers the option of joining an affiliate marketing program when they make a purchase will multiply sales! Think about every customer automatically promoting to other customers and you can see how quickly this profitable chain reaction could occur. It is quite possible that you will never need to pay for advertising again if you have your customers doing it for you.</p>
<p>Look for websites with good sales. If their rate of buyers is less than one percent, you may want to reconsider working with them. You get paid if people buy, and if people aren&#8217;t buying from the website, it will not matter how many customers you send them. This ratio is an important one to consider when searching for affiliates.</p>
<p>PPC Marketing For Affiliates</p>
<p>One affiliate marketing program to take advantage of is a pay-per-click search engine. A PPC engine is one that prioritizes search results according to advertiser payments. When you bid on a keyword with a PPC engine, your site will appear higher on searches for that keyword. Because you only pay the PPC engine for successful searches that direct visitors your way, bidding for PPC keywords can be a very cost-effective strategy.</p>
<p>Beginning your affiliate marketing career with pay-per-click (PPC) programs is a wise move. By investing only in keyword bidding at PPC search engines and selecting your partner merchants carefully, you can build up a modest income without laying out much up-front investment. Then you can use PPC profits to pay for setting up a website.</p>
<p>You can take the information you learned here and use it as a solid foundation to start building your career as an affiliate today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SEO Is The Key To Your Success On The Web</p>
<p>Are you having trouble bringing visitors to your website? You may need to do some search engine optimization. Search engines may seem random, but all of them follow algorithms that look for specific things on websites. This article will give the tips you need to start improving your site for search engines today.</p>
<p><strong>Google</strong></p>
<p>Make sure to visit Google Webmaster Central and enable &#8220;Enhanced image search&#8221;. This will allow Google to index your graphics and add them to it&#8217;s Google Images search results. Many people look for photos for a variety of uses, and if they also find useful content on your website, they&#8217;re likely to come back.</p>
<p>If you are considering consolidating two or more similar pages, you should first identify the relative quantity and quality of your inbound links. This can be done by using the simple command &#8220;link:domain.com/yourpage.html&#8221; from the Google search page. Yahoo Site Explorer offers a similar option for checking specific back links.</p>
<p>Use Google Adwords to find out what keywords related to your field of work are popular. Once you find out what kind of keywords work well, use them to describe your website. Make sure to do searches with this tool regularly to stay up to date: popular keywords can change very quickly.</p>
<p><strong>Yahoo</strong></p>
<p>Achieve more success in search engine optimization by registering with Yahoo!. Yahoo! is one of the most popular search engines on the internet. Although it is a pricey membership (it costs about 300 dollars a year) it is well worth it if you want that extra boost in your search result presence.<a href="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/search-engine-big-three2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-15800" title="search-engine-big-three2" src="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/search-engine-big-three2.jpg" alt="" width="338" height="253" /></a></p>
<p>Based upon your resources, you may be able to fully optimize your site for only one or two of the major search engines. Using keyword-rich content and structure will give you an advantage on any engine, but Google, Yahoo!, Ask.com, and Bing all have their own nuances that favor certain SEO elements.</p>
<p>With millions of sites out there, you cannot afford to wait for the major search engines to seek you out. Take a proactive approach by registering your site with all of them &#8211; Google, Bing, Yahoo, and any others that you come across. Waiting for recognition is unlikely to deliver the site traffic that you hope to generate from your efforts.</p>
<p><strong>Bing</strong></p>
<p>For search engine optimization, the first thing you should do is register with Google and other search engines (such as Yahoo! and Bing). You can visit a special site, fill out a very short form with your website address and you&#8217;ll likely be &#8220;crawled,&#8221; in other words added, by that search engine faster.</p>
<p>To increase the search engine rankings of products on a commerce website, take advantage of the newly released Schema protocol. This protocol, which was developed by major search engines Google, Bing, and Yahoo, helps search engines to better understand the products you are selling. All three search engines have stated that they will give greater weight to sites that make use of this protocol.</p>
<p>Although there are many search engines out there, you should focus on the big three and leave the rest alone, to start. Google, Yahoo and Bing are the big boys on the block, with Google controlling the lion&#8217;s share of the market. So when optimizing your site, stick to the types of things a search engine like Google appreciates. There&#8217;s no sense in optimizing for Ask or MSN, when there&#8217;s really no money there.</p>
<p>Search engine optimization may sound too good to be true, but it&#8217;s the real deal. All of the tips in this article will help boost your search engine rankings and help more people find your site. Take the time to employ the advice offered here. It won&#8217;t take long for you to see some results.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/fat_rich_guy.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-11643" style="margin: 3px;" title="fat_rich_guy" src="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/fat_rich_guy.jpg" alt="" width="202" height="208" /></a>When you wake up in the morning, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?</p>
<p>How about, “If I could only make money on the Internet, everyone else is doing it!” This statement is part truth, part lie.</p>
<p><strong>First off, not everyone is making money online. Secondly, a lot of people are.</strong></p>
<p>More specifically, <a href="http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-special-offers-forum/363328-rave-reviews-378-sold-earn-9940-month-497-1-min-work-warrior-made-2982-one-day.html">this guy is making a boat load of money</a>. How is he doing it?</p>
<p>Well,  before we go any further, here’s an (un)official disclaimer: this  article is to show you how Meta Fever’s free resources rock and should  only be attempted by true marketing warlocks. We are not reviewing or  endorsing this product. Wow, that was mouthful.</p>
<p>Back to the guy making a boat load of money.</p>
<p>The  above link re-directs to a sales page on the Warrior Internet Marketing  Forums. The first thing you see on the page is. . . How I Bank BIG FAT $497checks From My Offline Clients For SEO Analysis Reports That Takes Me 1 Minute To Produce Without Touching The keyboard!</p>
<p>Sounds easy enough, right? Of course. Only with MetaFever.com’s <a href="../free-seo-tools/">free rock star SEO tools!</a> That’s what the author doesn’t reveal until you’ve spent $17.00 on the six page e-book.</p>
<p>Here’s what he did: Spent  30 minutes, maybe more (god I hope not) writing six pages on how you  can use MetaFever’s SEO tools to develop SEO reports for clients and  charge them $497!!.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/use_right_tool_1.gif"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-11644" style="margin: 3px;" title="use_right_tool_1" src="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/use_right_tool_1-199x300.gif" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></a></strong><br />
<strong>As stated in the report, it’s rather simple.<br />
</strong><br />
I was going to paste some sections from the book, but I’m not out to violate any international copyright laws. Even  though there’s probably no official copyright on this six page  manifesto, why take the chance? With that said, I’ll sum things up for  you. I hope Arthur Stec doesn’t mind.</p>
<p>1.) Go to Google.com and search any querie.</p>
<p>2.)  Next, go to Page 2 and pick out a website. Get their contact  information (name and e-mail.) Why page 2? People on page 1 won’t have  as much motivation to buy an SEO report from you. Here’s your sign. Ba  da bing.</p>
<p>3.)  Once you’ve gathered your prospects, write an e-mail saying who you  are, what you can do and why they should do it. (The e-book gives an  exact template of what you should write.)</p>
<p>4.) As Arthur so eloquently says, “After that you just wait for the phone call or email.”</p>
<p>I’m  not sure a free SEO report from MetaFever.com is worth $497 (probably  more like $400,000.) But if you think it is, take the above advice and  you’ll laugh all the way to the bank.</p>
<p>What do you think? Have you tried our <a href="../free-seo-report/">free SEO report tools?</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/google-panda.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-12605" style="margin: 3px;" title="google-panda" src="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/google-panda.jpg" alt="" width="265" height="132" /></a>If you’ve ever been camping, I’m sure your aware of some common and cautionary tips for protecting against bear attacks.</p>
<p>Not all areas are susceptible to these kind of incidents, but for the sake of learning. . . lets say they are.</p>
<p>Tips  you’ve probably heard: don’t leave food out, don’t cook with strong  scents (as bears have a keen sense of smell. . . the list goes on.) And,  if you are attacked, there’s an entire protocol for surviving these  situations as well. Don’t worry, I won’t go into detail. The Boy Scouts <a href="http://scouting.org/100years/100years/Default.aspx">need something to do for another 100 years.</a></p>
<p><strong>Here’s what I can do:</strong> help you succeed through the next Google Panda update (bear attack) and  increase your chances of search engine optimization success. <strong>Treat the following as your min-SEO survival guide. </strong></p>
<p>Like any quality “How To Guide,” you’ll find how to prevent attacks and recover from the unavoidable.</p>
<p>New online marketers should note a couple things. First, the Google Panda update is not anything new. <a href="http://mashable.com/2009/08/10/google-caffeine/">Google Caffeine</a> and <a href="http://searchengineland.com/google-confirms-mayday-update-impacts-long-tail-traffic-43054">Google Mayday </a>both  sent the search engine optimization world reeling for several days. The  key, though, is recovery and re-building. And, that’s what Meta Fever  is here for:</p>
<p>Remember,  the goal of Google Panda was not to “disrupt,” the SEO industry. All of  the smart people in Mountain View know this would be the end of the end  if they tried something like this.</p>
<p>Yet,  most people with any experience in search engine optimization realize  spam sites and low-quality content mills are headed for the history  books.</p>
<p>So, how can you avoid falling into this trap? It’s rather simple, actually. . .</p>
<p><strong>Value always wins</strong></p>
<p>Not  only will your site not get flagged as spam, quality content is passed  around more than Kim Kardashian. Don’t believe me? Then why do things go  viral? “Well, Joel. . .it’s because people are bored and they like  watching interesting stuff.”</p>
<p>This  argument might hold water when it comes to videos of horses eating  peanut butter. But for the most part, successful written and video  content is unique and interesting. Valuable content increases your  chances of obtaining true and authoritative back links. There isn’t an  update in the world that can stop you from getting mentioned by Mashable  or the New York Times. All they need is a reason. Give it to them, will  you?</p>
<p><strong>Speaking of unique. . . . </strong></p>
<p>Duplicate  content will never win. In fact, you’ll be wishing for a Google Panda  smack down or SEO nightmare if you try this. Copying another person’s  content goes way beyond the average code of ethics. Whatever your  personal code may be. Should you attempt, legal issues await.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/survival_1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11525" style="margin: 4px;" title="survival_1" src="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/survival_1.jpg" alt="" width="207" height="218" /></a>Unlimited content is not king</strong></p>
<p>Content  may still be king, but pointless banter is exactly that. . . pointless  banter. Redundant sentences will not only put you in bad graces with  search engines, your visitors won’t be too pleased either.</p>
<p><strong>A little maintenance helps</strong></p>
<p>Whether  you have a personal blog or corporate website, this is your home. And, it  should be treated as such. Seek out pages you think should be getting  more organic search traffic and continue to optimize them. Any search  engine optimization survival guide will tell you this.</p>
<p>Re-read  pages with possible typos. Correct and update wrong and outdated  information. It’s OK. I don’t think the gods will have a problem with  you updating or adding to your archives. Well, I’m about 99% sure.</p>
<p>Of  course I could expound on this all day. But its important to focus on  the important points. I hope this was accomplished above.</p>
<p>What do you think? How can search engine optimization be protected from attacks? Nothing is bulletproof.</p>
<p>I guess that&#8217;s why it’s called optimization.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/destroy.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-12598" style="margin: 3px;" title="smashing_computer_1" src="http://www.metafever.com/wp-content/uploads/destroy.jpg" alt="" width="221" height="111" /></a>I know you’ve been dying to find an article like this.</p>
<p>Maybe you were searching for “<a href="../what-makes-an-seo-company-great.html">What Makes an SEO Company Great?</a>” Or another churned out <a href="../paid-backlinks-diy-seo.html">DIY SEO guide</a>. I mean, everyone has one right? Feel free to answer that later.</p>
<p>Today, it’s time to take a different approach: <strong>What are some of the best ways to completely wipe out your SEO efforts?</strong></p>
<p>The following five examples are some of the most common ways SEM’s and amateur digital marketers veer off course:</p>
<p><strong>#1 &#8211; Not caring about content </strong></p>
<p>Old  and out of date content is a great way to reverse hard earned SEO  results. Despite how great the last 17 articles are, it’s important to  keep fresh and updated content. Your visitors will not only reward you,  search engines will keep indexing and visiting your site.</p>
<p>Many  times SEM’s hyper focus on tangible SEO techniques like custom URL’s or  link building. Yes, these are important. But as the saying goes, dance  with the one who brung you: content.</p>
<p><strong>#2 &#8211; Content is great, but don’t ignore URL’s</strong></p>
<p>Talk  about a nice segue huh? If you’re not using WordPress or some type of  content management system that dynamically creates SEO friendly URL’s,  it’s time to make the investment. Surprisingly, this tip is commonly  overlooked. You’ve created great content, built out all the right pages,  but SE’s need to be able to find the goods. Don’t believe me? Look at  the search listings next time you Google something. Google places a high  premium on URL keywords.</p>
<p><strong>#3 &#8211;  Excessive, compulsive, repetitive, continuous, never ending. . . keyword stuffing. </strong></p>
<p>You  get the point. Even though you should definitely keep keyword density  in mind (2-5% is recommend) thinking that readers want to see the same  terms over and over again is ludicrous. Rest assured your SEO campaign  will quickly disintegrate if you choose this option.</p>
<p><strong>#4 &#8211; What exactly are you optimizing? </strong></p>
<p>Yes,  having a keyword and content optimization plan is good, but even more  important is knowing what you’re optimizing for. If you’re plan is to  sell bicycle tires, don’t spend too much time talking about Lance  Armstrong’s doping allegations. That might be a little bit of a stretch,  yet surprisingly, not uncommon. Nail down which root keywords, and long  tail phrases relate best to your product, and develop content  accordingly. Not doing so won’t directly destroy your SEO plan. But  don’t expect to see good results.</p>
<p><strong>#5 &#8211; Better late than never, but don’t wait too long. </strong></p>
<p>There’s  an on-going lie out there among many who believe in developing SEO  plans after a website is built. I couldn&#8217;t’ disagree more. That’s like  putting gas in the car after the trip. (Don’t ask how that&#8217;s possible,  just go with it.)</p>
<p>Wouldn’t  you want SEO to play a large role in site development? I would think  so. All of the above tips should go hand in hand with web design and  structure. SEO is so much more than content and back links. This might  sound like a contradiction to our “content” is King mantra. Don’t worry,  the throne is still intact. However, the <a href="../building-a-moat-around-your-online-business.html">Kingdom can’t survive without a moat </a>(aka your SEO strategy.)</p>
