The humbling fact about some websites is that they do have limitations!!

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

Some people come to us as a search engine optimization firm asking us.  Can we take your existing website and get them within the top 10 results of Google, Yahoo and MSN. And the fact is, however on flattering it may be.  If your website is not constructed in the right way. Then your chances ultimately are slim to none. We actually did search engine optimization initially for a large publicly traded company, which name I won’t get into right now.  And although they were publicly traded their website was substandard to say the least. Throughout the entire database when you navigated to various different products.  It was all out, putting from the database source. What I mean by this is, it was reporting directly out of the database looking something like this, for example,  www. stevestv. com content.php?p_catId=3 other thing is that every single page output it exactly like this. From a search engine optimization point of view, a database outputting in this way and not being able to have the are URLs output in a way that it would look like they were coming from an HTML page is not in any way shape or form beneficial to search engine optimization.  The other reason that it becomes a big prom is that it looks like it has duplicate text of going on throughout the own toys site.

Needless to say, we ended up doing search engine optimization on the site as best we could put our results were not anywhere that they would normally are. I think ultimately the decline was satisfied with the work to we had done, but it’s just disappointing working so hard on the project in getting the results that to you or not accept them. It’s sort of like trying to scoop out the water of the Titanic as it was on its way down to the bottom of the ocean. Obviously when you look at it from that standpoint, it’s a near impossible feat per yet as a person hired to produce it, you got no choice but to try.

In a looking back at that particular search engine optimization deal.  I remember us coming to the client and telling them at the time that they really needed to rebuild the whole entire website for us to have an effective search engine optimization campaign. He said they wanted us to just create site maps, and see if we had some type of affiliate marketing program for him. I think in the end.  Personally I think that they should just sprung and created a brand-new website.

A play something that I would love some people do make some comments about is the newest update that Google seems to be making to its search engine. Over the last seven days I’ve been looking at various different websites that were initially ranking Berrier high in their page ranks and now based on Google’s new algorithm a lot of these websites that once had very high page ranks fell off like a ski jump. I remember there was one company that had a page rank of the 10. This the most do you understand is a near impossibility.  Being that I guess at the time that there was only somewhere in the area of 30 in the world. And after this new page rank update through cool that same website has a page rank of a six. That is very disturbing to say the least.

Where does your website show up in Google, Yahoo and MSN?

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

I  ask people on a regular basis, where does their website show up in the global search engines??

If you are a custom website does not show up within the first 10 results of Google, Yahoo and MSN. You’re missing out on a vast amount of money being spent on the Internet in any given day.  I can’t stress it enough find a company that knows how to do search engine optimization and utilize them.  There is a company that I’ve been sending people into most recently to have search engine optimization done in the name of that company is www.iconsearchengineoptimization.com I have been referring people to them for some time now and all I do is see if business is rave about the quality of search engine optimization and they done to their website.  It’s one of those things that are so many people out there that are not doing what’s necessary to level search engine optimization and cutting corners and ultimately in the long term they en up doing long-term damage to a lot of websites. icon search engine optimization.com will take care of everything from A to Z. They create your site maps, they will take care of your Google ad words account, they have their own affiliation marketing program, otherwise known as affiliate marketing program.

I know that they are working hand in hand with Google directly with a couple of their upper and senior members and they’ve also been doing things like Google optimization for different clients.

So when I tell you that good or very good I would never recommend somebody like or do anything less than perfection on someone’s custom website. Whatever you do make sure your research, whatever company and working with. As I said before, I like icon search engine optimization.com. The contact over there, as Seth Rand.

Here is the statement of the day. Stop talking about it and just do it.

Saturday, October 20th, 2007

I can’t tell you how many different people I run into on a regular basis.  Tell me they’ve thought about doing search engine optimization to their website, and so have not done anything about it.

To me this whole thing is a no-brainer. I would never sit here and tell you that search engine optimization is the single and only thing to you to do to promote your website to such a way that you could create the cells that you’re intending to do on a day-to-day week to week month-to-month basis. But here’s what I will tell you. I don’t care if you’re using Google ad-words, some type of paper click advertising with inside Yahoo or MSN.  Search engine optimization is the only form of Internet marketing medium that is so cost-effective that if you don’t do it is just plain crazy.

The reason I’m so adamant about search engine optimization is because it offsets all of your other expenses for Internet marketing. Sometimes I’m a client to spending some one areas of upwards to $50,000 a month and pay per click advertising. Not would never tell anybody that they should pull their complete paper click campaign, and only do search engine optimization. I personally don’t believe that my belief is that you can offset your pay per click advertising by thousands of dollars a month.  If you can work with, they quality search engine optimization company. Most companies that I know that do search engine optimization will also manage your pay per click campaign as well. This is important to me because I think that if you can have somebody cut every and all out of your pay per click campaign.  It’ll give you more marketing dollars to push into different directions.  Most of these highly decorated search engine optimization firms can not only optimize your website at the level of organic traffic, but they can also do search engine optimization to the various different search engines.

They will also create an internal site map that will have the spiders crawl your website in a much deeper capacity than they ever have before. This way of your website with interior pages, exceeding thousands and thousands of pages they can actually create this site map floor of the search engine’s will penetrat your site in a much deeper capacity.

The other thing that I suggest people to invest in is a good affiliate marketing program.  There are very is different affiliate marketing programs. One of these programs is known as www.commissionjunction.com we have use commission Junction for various different clients of Mars in the past. The good thing about commission Junction is there actually affiliate what major corporations around the country such as Wal-Mart, Home Depot, target, Disney, and many more.  Fortune 100 companies.

The best thing I knew tell you is stop talking about doing search engine optimization.  Stop talking about doing Internet marketing.  Stop talking about doing paper click advertising.  And start finding companies that can help you create an effective marketing campaign.  So you and your website can start doing the business that the rest of these companies are doing throughout the home to your. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out if somebody spending 50 oh hundred thousand dollars a month on pay per click advertising.  And they’re doing this month after month, they must you making some money. So why not, claim your pieces of the pie and cash in on this Internet boom. The truth is the Internet and the amount of revenue streaming into it isn’t going anywhere. The projections for online sales for this holiday season is guaranteed to be through the roof.

Where do you stand on search engine optimization?

Friday, October 19th, 2007

There is definitely two opposing sides to this particular question.

1.) I would say that the first part of the Yang and Yang. Is what I’ll refer to as the force. Sort of like Star Wars. Many people don’t see Star Wars as a spiritual type of movie, but to me it is.  We think about the Jedi is there basically everything that would be in harmony in the world. They are the good, they are the worthy, they are the righteous, they are the happy, they are the light.

Well, here’s the thing about search engine of the visitation. There is what they call white hat.  These are people that the lack of a better word are part of the force. These are people and operate with inside the fields of search engine optimization.  But then not doing it with a malicious or hurtful intent. They are instead playing by the rules. This is saying that’s been used for many years now, what comes around goes around. What I found is long as you play by the rules and you try to help your clients to the best your ability than search engine optimization can be a very profitable feel to be in.

2.) This is my take however on the black side of the Yang. Or, what we can refer to as the dark side. What most people in the SCO field refer to it as is black hat techniques. Solid give you a quick rundown of my experiences been with people that are doing things to trick the search engines. Awhile back I had seen their website that had a flash intro on a what what I saw to be virtually no text whatsoever. Now, first I couldn’t figure this out why they were coming up with so many different terms.  In so many different cities and states with which seemed to me to be a blank flash intro. As I researched the page a little more what I found was.  There was probably a over 4000 terms going down on tire front of the page. But what they did was they put all the text in white against a white background. This obviously would have a look like there was absolutely no text on on tire page unless you want with your highlighter down all on tire page then you would see all of the text show up.  So to make a long story short, within four months this website was completely wiped out of the search engines. It’s real simple play nice, or suffer the consequences of your actions.

This so many different things that you can do the legitimate ways to promote your website online. There are things to do like creating an affiliate marketing programs. You can create an account with Google ad words. You can do pay per click campaigns Yahoo optimization and MSN optimization.

In my opinion, keep it simple to the right things and good things will come back to you. Ultimately, no matter who we are what we do.  I find that you definitely reap what you sow.

Take your people and they’ll take care you. There’s a saying that’s says that all the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of one match. Do good in be good, that’s it for now…

Wayne Gretzky is known for his coined phrase that you miss 100% of the shots you never take!!

Is that they need to realize about search engine optimization.  A lot of what you’re going to do.  In regards to theories and marketing campaigns is to some extent, can I be determined by trial and error. Because this is such a new industry there’s only so much that you can learn from reading various different books and tuning into various different blogs. One of the blogs that I will be referring to is known as www.seochat.com this particular website is a tremendous resource with probably tens of thousands of difference oracles.  All referring to search engine optimization, and I believe various different paper quick campaigns such as Google ad words, Yahoo optimization, and MSN optimization. What I mean about the optimization of the different search engines I believe that they will give you some different ideas.  As far as things that you can do that will help you to create the effect of Ed copies to make sure that you get to the top of the search engines we need you pay per click campaigns.

Another great resource for you is the book, search engine optimization for dummies. This book is very valuable book is a multi-you some pitfalls to watch out for and some tricks of the trade.  Like everything in life there  is only one way to find out next to dive into it.

Look at it this way, the more you research and read about search engine optimization, the more you going to know the things to do and the things not to. Tricks that are white hat search engine optimization and things that are black hat or otherwise known as no-no’s

If you have the e-commerce site, and it’s outputting in in a database code, change it to a folder

Monday, October 15th, 2007

Here it is example of what I’m talking about this is the way you don’t want it to be outputting from the database.

1.)  http://www.preferredprint.com/content.php?p_catId=2

This is the way that you do want an outputting from the database.

2.) http://www.wholesalebusinessprinting.com/commercial_business-cards-printing_2.htm

you should be able to see a significant difference between the two. 

The reason I like to do it this way is because actual product name is visible to search engines. This will in the search engine crawls actual site is I actually picked up business card printing whatever you have with inside these folders.

You would be surprised the difference it makes the actual products will get indexed into Google, Yahoo and MSN.  You’ll also find that your ranking will go way up for these particular pages.

This site maps will also pick this up this way as well

Create alliance with other businesses that are similar industry wise, but not your direct competitors

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

I mention this a lot of postings prior to this one that it’s very important for you to create inroads with companies that all right lead it in your industry versus just a shotgun blast approach to massive linking.

Find a group of websites that are similar to yours but do not have direct competition with you, and then create some reciprocal linking back and forth. In a perfect world you endure a simple linking you do what they refer to as three way linking.

Three-way linking works like this. You control multiple website yourself, then you offer people that are and similar businesses to yours and walked from links on various different sites for it they will link to your particular site.  This way the dismal linking going back and forth direct one site to another site.

I haven’t really found any effective only share programs of done this well. I am however open from anybody posting comments if they have found a good three-way linking software on the market today.

I know that some friends of mine are creating this monster free business directory. This is something you want to think of as well as may be grabbing a couple of the free directories output outbound links to your website. I know some people are out there paying for links to this site, which becomes a very expensive proposition. It’s much better to do a little work and research and find out some people that will trade you trade you back and forth for some links.

So you have and for the record the name of this website that you’ll be able to get free linking on and I know that they’re also allowing people to put their your URL’s.  Besides their business information, like telephone number and address.

The name of the site is called www.freebusinessdirectoryonline.com

if I’m not mistaken, when I was speaking to them, I think they said that this is going to end up being like 15000 or 20,000 page site.

Thank you very much for reading these articles, and I will have some more information and next to days.  Feel free to put a RSS Feed on your site if you like. If you have any questions or comments feel free to post my will be reading.  And thank you and have a good one.

Oh yeah one other thing I will be adding some good places for you to get your site maps for your websites. It’s a free service or two and then I’ll leave the URL on the Blog.

Drop-down navigation

Saturday, October 13th, 2007

One of the things that is a good idea to do is to use drop-down navigation for pages that are geared just for search engine optimization. It seems to me that Google likes pages that show up at the level of and drop-down or some people refer to as a pulldown menu versus outbound links from your homepage.  A lot people do you know various different things, whatever the product says plus a city or state to try to get more hits within that area.  I find the trouble with bad as it looks very Spamish. When you do a lot attacks and Google sees it as spam and creates a lot of negative points on your website.

The only reason I say that is because it is my experience I’ve had sites that were doing very well in the night air and also its outbound links for search engine optimization purposes and to put the site into the toilet.  When I change and turn into a navigational bar.  It did not loan longer occurs to Google at the level of spam.

Another thing is, that’s a very big misnomer is the more link should have the better. I find that this is completely inaccurate. You better off finding fewer links that are totally and is she related and having a lot of links that are not.

Is another thing that you definitely want to create for your custom website that you’re designing. I think that blogs are a very important part of search engine optimization as well. If you can create a blog and have it hooked directly into your website.  This is another way, you can get a content rich information on your site.  Now I that they seem to actually get a very good page rank as well.

And as always, site maps are very important on your website as well.  I think that some of the best site maps are the ones that automatically update themselves as you change pages on your website. These to my Intel are much better way of going than the standard ones that you can get for free online.

In my opinion.  It is also important to get a good affiliate marketing program. There are companies out there like, commission Junction that’ll do it all for you.  But I believe that it’s best to have both if anything. In a perfect world, you have an account commission Junction and also have your own freestanding affiliate marketing program.

Website suicide - five thing, you definitely don’t want to do at the level of search engine optimization on your website

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

1.) If you have an existing website and its navigation system is using frames.  Get rid of it now. A frame website is probably one of the single worst a website designs for search engine optimization. One of the problems with using a frame-based website is the search engine itself cannot determine how many different pages there ought to the actual website. Essentially what Hamza is the spiders come to the website and they just think that the website is one page 1 page only. So if you are utilizing frames on your website right now, get rid of it now.

2.) A not a big no-no is to use a lot of JavaScript on your website. JavaScript is another thing that does search engines just don’t know what to do with it. What ends up happening is a can’t read a navigation system methods done in JavaScript.  So all those additional inner pages are completely nonexistent.  The search engine scanning and read its like they’re not even there. If you are navigational system is using JavaScript you going to need to do some different techniques so the search engines can actually see the JavaScript.  I will get into this at a later date.

3.) Another thing that a lot of people have set up on their website and I know about it is a domain redirector. This is when you actually type in a specific URL, and when you actually get there and actually redirects into another URL. I remember working on a friend of mine site, and when I went to assign typed in the actual name of his website.  It was redirecting to an inner page with inside his website. It’s funny because the initial name of the website had a page ranking rating from Google of the three or a four way you could never hit that drew the actual typing in of his URL.

4.) Avoid the sandbox at all costs. Some people do all the initial work to create search engine optimization, then looked on a doing is putting like thousands of links to the site before Google has even done and a growing whatsoever on a brand-new URL. How I know what happens when you do this, because unfortunately I made a mistake myself of doing this once. The new URL was shown up absolutely nowhere within the search engine’s. At first I was really excited because the site launched itself would, like, I think 32,000 inbound links. And all end up doing was to so on Google and hands up waiting another seven months to see my site show up anywhere and at any of the key words.

5.) Duplicate text - make sure that your site does not have any duplicate text on any of the pages. Duplicate text is a very big no-no at the level of search engines. You end up getting a lot of negative points for attacks that has just been snagged and taken from another website and/or from another area of your website. Not only do the website’s dislike when you take text from another site and put onto your site are also very stringent and copyright laws. One of my existing clients had a web designer take an existing talk and take that book and duplicated onto his website. He ended up to $1 million soon as a result of this. The lawsuit was so bad that they ended up having to take the whole website down and now when you go to his website.  The only thing it’s there is an existing webpage that says is company name. There were actually threatening to shut him down and sue him and almost ended up bankrupting his company. I can’t stress it enough stay away from copyrighted material. If you can’t figure out what to say on your website to hire a copywriter.

As I mentioned to you before, I will give you a company, which I find is a very reparable web design/search engine optimization company. They do everything from small HTML websites to big e-commerce websites and are nothing else describes them better than amazing at the level is search engine optimization. The name of a comp when he is www.iconwebsitedesign.com the telephone number at the company is 954-733-8862 the Seth Rand.

 I have referred them a ton of different clients that I was unable to attend to, and they actually have done a superb job on all of them.

They’ve create things like standalone affiliate programs and affiliate marketing programs, search engine optimization for a ton of different clients. I know less client that I sent them wanted some references and they gave them a list of references and customer testimonials.

Even if you have an existing website, though both food and create different things like site maps. Not only will they do search engine optimization to website they will also do pay per click campaigns for various different search engine such as Google, Yahoo and MSN

Successes is being number one on ”Google”!!!

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

My question to you is, where does your site show up on Google? As far as I’m concerned if your website is not showing up under the various different key words that would basically best describe your business, you’re missing out on a tremendous amount of revenue. You need to do whatever you need to do for your website to start showing up within Google. I personally don’t care if you need to do a paper click advertising, and you’re not quite sure how you actually going to come up with the dollars to do so. 70% of all searches online are now being done through Google search. If you have some marketing dollars set aside call up Google today or first thing tomorrow and create a Google ad words account.

Another option you have is to actually hook up with a company that’s routable and is well versed in doing search engine optimization. This is another thing that I suggested be a must as well. In my opinion, if you have a good website with good search engine optimization.  This should allow you to reduce the spend on your pay per click advertising. I don’t believe that you can do, search engine optimization alone and be as effective as you possibly can with inside the Internet explosion. To me it’s more of a marketing mix. But without a doubt, you need to do both.

There was a saying some years ago about the lottery, you got to be in it to win it. The same thing goes for the Internet, you have to be able to be coming up in very is different searches for you to be able to take new revenue share of what’s going on within the Internet.

If you’re not sure some good search engine optimization companies that have a good reputation and some type or guarantee.  Feel free to call me. I can be reached at the office

 number of area code 954-733-8862

I can’t stress it enough.  He got have an effective website with a good call to action.  It’s got to be showing up under the different key words that people would be searching under for your specific product, and you need to do this as soon as humanly possible.  As each day goes on a lot of these Internet comp is creating more distance between them and the competition.
