AtricleZine - What I Know (Or Think I Know) About SEO - (So Far)
Blogging is one way of selling your ideas and branding your business as an internet marketer. It is also a way of generating traffic to your site.In order to succeed in blogging, there are some basic things you need to know and do as a newbie. They are as follows:You will need to create your posts and comments. Let your posts and comments be 100 per cent original – the contents should be something you wrote or you asked a ghostwriter to write for you not something you copied and pasted from somewhere on the internet. However, don’t send meaningless contents!Let your comments and posts link back to your web site and/or affiliate link. It follows that at the end of your posts and comments, you have to write something like this: http://www.xyz.com – that is, you put the web address of your domain name at the bottom of your posts and comments.Send new posts and comments regularly so th
These keywords should serve as an outline for the bulk of your website's architecture.
Each relevant keyword could be a page, or a link, or a paragraph. I say relevant because you can't and shouldn't try to fit in every keyword that comes up.
Its unfair to your readers if you (or someone you've hired) can't speak with some authority on a topic that you'r
The Internet is bombarded with middlemen and rip-off artists masquerading as wholesale suppliers, or seeking to make money off of retail business owners who are searching for wholesalers. Unfortunately, these scam artists make it impossible to find real wholesale suppliers in the search engines.You see, wholesalers don't have to advertise to the public to find their ideal customers. They know where to find their ideal customers, and so do you for that matter. Their ideal customers are highly-visible, established retailers. Since REAL wholesale distributors are not advertising their services in public venues like search engines, who is advertising their business at the top of the wholesale search results? Mostly scammers, unfortuntely.These cut-throat scammers make it incredibly difficult for you to find real wholesale suppliers as they all try to beat each other to the top rankings of the search
I don't know enough and I simply can't know enough.
I don't have the time or the energy to keep up with the most up-to-date trends in the SEO industry.
The amount of information available on SEO (search engine optimization) is staggering.
Between the forums, blogs and podcasts (which sometimes have the juiciest tidbits) it is all too overwhelming. Just following the developments of Google could be a full-time job.
I think a really good SEO expert can be worth their weight in gold to a high-volume website that has the ability to monetize search engine traffic. I don't have any of that, so I have had to go it alone - both by necessity and choice.
My only claim to SEO fame is that I am the owner and operator of a handful of sites that I've managed to get into the top positions of the leading search engines for some pretty competitive search terms.
And I've done it without paying a dime for a link (so far).
Here is what I've discovered about SEO.
1. Planning Matters
Right after that moment when you decide you want a website, you need to get on the internet and do some important keyword research (even before you pick out a domain name).
Open up a handful of search engines in multiple browser windows, and start typing in keyword phrases for your idea. Find a keyword research tool on one of the major search engines and record what keywords work with your idea. Determine what are people searching for and how are they typing in the keyword phrases.
To me this is a fundamental step, and I've seen too many small business websites that haven't done it.

You might not know this, but social networking sites aren't just for teenagers anymore. In fact, social networking sites have evolved into something different altogether than what they once were networks composed mainly of teenage girls.Today, social networking sites span the spectrum of demographic groups. While teenagers are still more apt to use them than older people, there are now niche social networking sites, which target people who all share some common interest, such as a skateboarding or investing.Now, in addition to teenagers and adults, social networks are increasingly becoming used by another group businesses. That's right: many businesses are now infiltrating social networks to advertise in some subtle manner and then replicate their message through systems that are already available within the social network. The most prominent social network is MySpace, which boasts a membership

It seems to be a phenomenon. You try Google AdWords Select, your ad gets “disapproved” by the powers that be at Google, you count your losses and give up. It doesn’t have to be that way. There are two primary factors to succeeding at Google AdWords. The first is getting the right keywords. The second is writing little tiny ads. Neither is all that easy, but they can both be done.Mark Twain said it best. “If I would have had more time, I would have written you a shorter letter.” The point… it takes much more skill, and much more time to write short copy than long copy.Let’s go through the process together and I’ll show you a few tricks of the trade that have brought me AdWords click through rates of 7.1%, 8.0%… even 25%.Step One – You would be very wise to either use a benefit or an end result in your headline. In order to do this, you’ll have to be aware of the difference between features

If you're like pretty much every other person with a blog, there's been at least a few times where you've wondered what to blog about. It happens just as frequently to those who blog for business. Most certainly the complaint I hear most often from business bloggers is that they are afraid they don't have much to say in their blog.There are many places and situations from where business bloggers can find inspiration, but it often takes practice. With a little experience you will be able to quickly notice which topics and ideas will work well on your blog. Sometimes when uninspired, the best place to start is, believe it or not, your calendar.There are many days each and every year with events and holidays that bloggers can use as a jumping point to start writing their blog. We all know the popular days like Valentines Day, Mother's Day and New Year's Eve but there are so many fun and unusual

This is the second part of two series of articles about How to Increase Your Google Adsense CTR. Here are some other tips to increase your Google Adsense CTR: Place an image near your ads because user tends to look at this section. Use channel to track your ads performance. Include Google Search Box in your website. Though it will not drastically increase your CTR, it's still worth to be used. Around 3% of my monthly income comes from Google Search Box. What I love about this facility is that it shortens my development process. I don't have to develop my own search facility and let Google handles it! Do not click your own ads, or ask people to click it. Believe me, Google will be able to detect those illegal clicks and they will ban your Adsense account if you do it. In fact, I even suggest you emailing Google if you find out your CTR is

Its unfair to your readers if you (or someone you've hired) can't speak with some authority on a topic that you're presenting.
So take the keywords, sit down in a quiet place and put together an outline of what your site is going to look like. This should include all of the keyword content you've decided on, as well the pages you would like included and all the standard pages of internet sites (about us, contact us, site map, faqs, etc.).
2. Text is King
Now that you have the basic idea of what your site will look like, lets talk about design.
Absolutely forget that flash site you like. And while you're at it, unless it is absolutely necessary - scrap any and all .pdf files everywhere.
Search engines can't read the first one at all and even if they can read the second one, nobody likes to click on them.
Search engines like text. They eat it up like candy. The more real meaty text they can get (not html code, or java script, or tables, or inline styles, etc.) the better.
Put your style sheets off page. Put your javascript off page and use CSS to style your pages (there are some absolute geniuses as far as this kind of stuff is concerned - find them and hire them).
3. Content isn't everything
While content is important (why else would someone come to your site), for some search engines - it isn't everything.
Right now as I type this I have a half-built e-commerce site on the internet. I hired someone to program the ASP of it, which they did. I was to do the content (write the pages, clean up the design, etc.) which I did not.
However, I do have links to the site from some of my high-ranking websites.
I was doing some keyword research the other da
