Here is a SEO blog we just wrote on our front page:

Google Webmaster Tools a must for SEO

I have been meaning to blog about some of the new features of Google Webmaster Tools. I just saw this article from Search Engine Land, and it basically covers it all, see below on Search Query and follow link to full article. If you are an SEO expert, or a Internet Marketing manager in a large company, you may use your analytics tool instead. That is fine, but you probably won’t find some of the rich data that is available in your GWT account. In my opinion GWT is one of the best SEO tools you will use, especially the Search Query Data. If you want to read more of our SEO blogs, don’t be afraid to go to our WordPress SEO blog templates site.

Here are the top reason for it’s SEO value:

1. Check your Index pages from your Sitemap, easy and tells you how many are indexed, the higher percentage the better.

2. Check for Crawl errors

3. Check for duplicate content issues

4. Search Query Volume is simply un beatable, it’s very hard to find this data.

5. Great Link data, who is linking to you and how many links to top pages

Excerpt form the Search Engine Land’s 9 Step SEO Checkup Article below:
5. Look At Rankings

Knowing what people type, and which searches get you clicks, is invaluable search intelligence. Use the Search queries report to gain great insight. Click Your site on the web::Search queries, and you’ll see a report like this:

Search queries report

Whoa. That’s a lot of data. Don’t panic! Break it down to what you really need:

* Impressions shows the number of times you appeared in a search result for that query.
* Clicks is the number of times folks clicked on your result for that query.
* CTR is clickthru rate: The number of clicks per impression.
* Average position is where you ranked.

Don’t treat this report as a benchmark for search performance. Rankings are a terrible benchmark, especially now that Google appears to be Bingifying their results pages. But you can look for easy improvements. For example, I think I should get more than 2% clickthru on ‘Google Analytics’. I click on that query and get a drill-down report:

Search queries drill down

The pages I see listed probably need better meta description tags, and maybe more compelling titles. By rewriting these to present a better call to action, I can potentially improve clickthru.

Though, I am writing this post and linking with proper anchor text Free Blogs and Create a blog to see if this will do anything.  It probably will, but who knows.  I guess, Anchor Text Links still the most widely recommended SEO Tip, besides having the main keyword in your Title Tag.

I am super excited that our friends site is now within a couple of week is ranked #23 on Google for “Om T Shirts” though not showing up yet for a very competitive keyword “Yoga Clothing” or “Yoga clothes“.  I think it’s just a matter of time it will.  So as I always use to say, have patience, it may take up to a year or so to get ranked in the top 10 for very competitive keywords.  It’s definitly worth the wait.  Also as ReTweeted in my Twitter yesterday sending out a professional Press Release is the fastest way to get tons of high valued links and get a good Google PR.  Here is that post:  Practical Points For Perfecting Press Releases http://bit.ly/2Wi9BG RT@anuconvo PR’s are the #1 thing you can do for SEO!

As always if you are serious and want to learn about SEO get my free marketing book first, it’s free.  And, then read Aaron Wall’s book, if you can afford the $80 or whatever he is charging now.  Good luck!  Don’t forget to check out my friends Yoga clothing with Om T Shirts and Yoga clothes made from 100% organic materials.  They are not fully launched yet, but coming soon and all yoga clothing will be made in the US!

SEO vs PPC Media Post study shows that direct sales from website best for Internet Marketing http://bit.ly/bj3Yh24 minutes ago from Twitscoop

As always these are all brought to you by my SEO project of the month of Yoga Clothing and Om T Shirt and providers of Yoga T shirts  at http://Yoga-Clothing.org.  enjoy!

Twitter profile pages are increasingly indexed by Google and given a high PR quickly especially as others with many followers Retweet your tweets.  I am quite shocked by this, as the PR value of 6 on my Twitter profile caught me off guard.  But this is not suprising as all of the interlinking that is inherent in the Twitter system.  The profile name is the key as it goes in the Title tag for Twitter, so that is what you will get ranked high for, not necessarily your posts on Twitter.  So be clear that you choose proper and most searched keywords on your profile name and your posts.  As always, if you are not using proper keywords, you are just wasting your time!

faceBook to me is mainly a personal social network, but it still has a significant value to Google for rankings as it’s very hard to be a spammer on fB.  fB is also great for setting up Fan Pages and Group pages to grow your network rapidly for your viral marketing efforts.  So I definitly recommend it for all of your SEO and Social marketing efforts.

This blog is quickly becoming too long, especially if I want to follow my own advice.  Please feel free to read hundreds of great articles on how to write better blogs for SEO.  I don’t spend much time blogging here, as I am mostly interested in Twitter, but I am trying to SEO for a friends “Yoga Clothing” and “Om T Shirts” site.   They are not even launched yet, but are very good friends of mine.  They are trying to make 100% organic Yoga Clothes but with start with Yoga T shirts first with an emphasis on the sacred symbol Om.  Om is a sanskrit word for Universal God and is thought to be similar to the word Amen.  It is also considered to represent the Holyspirit as in the Christian tradition.

I recently saw a great article on iMediaConnection.com here is an excerpt and a link to article.   How to create a social media department

As social networks like Facebook and Twitter continue to grow in popularity, clients are turning to their agencies for help establishing a strong social media presence. But with the rapid growth of social media and the lightning-fast speed at which technology changes, agencies are finding it’s essential to have people on board who can keep up.

With any new technology, it’s hard to know when to jump on board and whether it’s worth establishing a new wing for new media. It can be funny to look back and see how other new technologies were either embraced or shunned; the show “Mad Men” poked fun at the reluctance to embrace television by having the fictitious Sterling Cooper agency start a television department with one member.

With its fast growth and wide audience, it’s safe to say social media will be a part of almost every campaign from here on out. But before an agency starts a social media department, there are some things to consider…See More

As mentioned above I am doing this blog post, not just to keep my Marketing book relatively fresh, which I care about but not that much.  I care more about supporting my friend’s Om Yoga Clothing line with Om T shirts and a full line with Mens Yoga clothing and women’s Yoga clothing coming soon.  They tell me that these products will be 100% organic, made in the USA and with great design.  I can’t wait to see them, and buy an Om T Shirt, I hope you support them by visiting their site, Thanks!

So what is up with Om Yoga Clothing and mentioning Yoga clothing in a marketing blog?  Well nothing, except for that Yoga clothing is one of the top 10 keywords for Yoga.  Yoga as you know is every where now days, well in Seattle and in major cities of the world.  So our friends in Olympia have decided to start a Yoga clothing company and I am helping them SEO their site.  They are starting out with Om T Shirts first, all made from Organic materials.  The site is barely up and they have asked me to help them early on, so I am not going to go on an on about how wonderful their Om Yoga Clothing is.  They are wonderful people and I met them through a community of Yoga meditation gathering.   More on that later…

PS, just turned on the FIT tv on DirectTV, Namaste Yoga is on.  These women have the most beautiful Yoga Clothing on.  It’s no wonder that LuLulemon the #1 leader in Yoga clothing is based out of Vancouver BC, same as the namaste yoga show:-).  Vancouver is a very stylish city if you have never been, you must visit this gem in North America!

Anyway, I helped a friend with her website launch in the last week about Akashic Records.  The site is actually called http://InspiredWellnessIntl.com  I will try to blog about it in the next few days and SEO it to help her get business.    She had signed up for GoDaddy’s Website Tonight service, for non-techies, I do recommend it.  It also has a very good SEO ability, because it does allow you to customize Meta tags etc for each page.  It’s also super easy to use with lots of beautiful templates. 

So if you are in the market for Energy healing or Akashic Records or Soul Records reading, do visit my friend Ingrid Skysong.  She could use the business, and you will find interesting stuff about your Soul’s Destiny.  I have been a client and friend of hers since 2005.
