People create blogs to share information and provide a forum for discussion of interesting topics. Like anything else on the web, in order for the blog to be successful, it has to rate in the search engines in order to get noticed.

SEO (search engine optimization) is the process of doing things to make the search engines (e.g. Google, Yahoo etc.) promote you since the way people find things on the web is via the search engines.

The 3 things that need to be done to get traffic to any site, including blogs, is to use popular keywords in the proper way, generate links to your sites and induce the search engine spiders to pay attention to your site. All of these things will cause the search engines to give your site a higher ranking.

Automated article, directory and video submission programs help you get more backlinks. Finding blogs and forums to post in to generate name recognition is enhanced by programs that help you find the blogs and forums that you need.

SEO Blogging Tools

What software or aids are available that combine blog and SEO?

There are certain SEO books, utilities and programs created specifically for blogs. There are packages that will set up a blog for you to do the right things. The eBooks provide crucial information for getting the most from your blog. There are also programs that take advantage of the trackback feature to gain valuable links to your blog while collecting useful posts from other blogs to let you easily generate new articles rapidly.

Free SEO blogging software exists that sets up a new WordPress blog with various options and settings that can be done fairly easily manually but this package automates all the drudge work. It makes sure that the naming of the blog entries is search engine friendly (the blog name contains the keywords that the article is about) by setting the permalink format (the way your blog post’s URL is built) properly. So if your blog is about fighter jets, the URL of your blog about the fighters of the 40’s will contain "fighter jets of the 40s.

SEO – Ranking Penalty

SEO – How Bad Links Can Risk Your Rankings

A discussion of how broken links or linking to sites with bad links can sabotage your search engine optimization efforts as well as swiftly lower your page rankings in the search engine pages.

As you are building your online company, you will necessarily have outbound links on your site (links which point to other sites).  These links need to be checked on a regular basis or your site may be lowered in the search engine rankings as a result.

Having too many bad links on your site can not only lower your site’s importance in the page rankings of search engines it can also encourage some search engines like Lycos, Yahoo and Google to permanently remove your site from their search engine ranking pages.

Normally the more links you have on your web page, the more Google and other search engines will love you and try to boost your search engine rankings. Part of most search engine algorithms has been to raise the ranking of a site that has a great deal of link popularity. This is why it is always essential to monitor the people who are linking to you. If their links are broken they will be damaging your site. Google, the grand master of this ranking methodology, often penalizes sites that provide links to links that serve no purpose or that is broken. This leads to a potentially very dangerous situation because you have no real control over what sites choose to link to yours unless your website is a blog in which case you can banish links from being attached to your site.

The drag is that the more popular your site is the more links you are going to have and the more time you are going to be spending checking to make sure that the links are operative.

There is a quick way to see if sites that are linked to your site are active. On Google download the Google toolbar available at (http://toolbar.google.com) and do a search on the site. If the site’s link is broken it will not be green in color on a sliding green scale that is pictured on the toolbar. If they are gray get rid of them, as these sites are just dead weight in terms of links and probably already affecting your searchability on the Internet.

Becoming The Spider: Next Generation SEO Tactics

Everyone has probably heard of Web 2.0 but very few know exactly what it is or how it can help your site’s rankings. Here are some Next Generation SEO tactics you can use to take full advantage of this new Web 2.0 generated SEO gold rush.

This is the heart of the new generation of web site development and Internet marketing.  The tools described in this article point out the new direction of SEO tactics that are taking hold for online business today.

Just when you believed you had all your SEO tactics figured out, the web goes and changes on you. Not just the rules of the game but it takes the whole web platform right out from under your feet and changes it. What’s a poor webmaster to do?

Web 2.0 changes the whole ballgame. It not only places the Internet user squarely in the middle of things, but it gives that user the means and power to create and manipulate data. Web 2.0 dramatically changes how we view and use the web. Actually, in many respects, it creates a whole new Internet.

What Is Web 2.0?
Just what exactly is Web 2.0? What does it mean? Is there a precise definition that all webmasters can get their heads around and understand? Not really, many believe Web 2.0 is just another one of those contrived buzzwords, signifying mostly marketing hype!

However, perhaps the simple definition can be found in the word "you"! Time magazine probably summed it up best by making reference to the "you" in user generated content. Web 2.0 is basically all the platforms that give us this brave new user-powered interactive Internet, generally referred to as ‘social media’.

Web 2.0 can be seen or manifested in such sites as YouTube, MySpace, Del.icio.us, Digg, Squidoo… Web 2.0 uses scripting languages such as Python, Perl PHP, RSS… to construct interactive platforms that websites can use to create all this user-generated content.

Many refer to these evolving formats and scripting platforms under the name AJAX and no this does not refer to the popular cleaning agent under your kitchen sink! This AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) comes from Google and takes web based interactive programs such as Google Maps, something that’s usually associated with desktop applications, but is now being applied on the web. If you have used Google Earth, you will realize how powerful and revolutionary these new applications can be, not to mention, they are a whole lot of fun.

Where Did The Name Web 2.0 Come From?
Many point to Tim O’Reilly, the constant innovator of many technological changes on the web. O’Reilly has been at the forefront in discussions and conferences on the nature and substance of the ‘meme’ open source platforms dominating the new social media.

How all this new media plays out is anyone’s guess but all webmasters should optimize their sites for this new Web 2.0 and take full advantage of all the SEO possibilities presented by this brave new Internet.

Here are a few SEO suggestions you can try:
1. RSS/Blogging You must place a blog and RSS feed on all your sites. This is a fairly simple procedure to do with free server-based programs such as WordPress. Having a blog and RSS feed will place your site into the whole tagging process. Each category you create in your blog will be seen as a tag by such sites as Technorati. RSS stands for ‘Really Simple Syndication’ and your RSS feeds will get your content distributed across the web. A simple and easy way to tap into the new Web 2.0 universe.

2. Create some Google Juice! Join as many of these highly interactive sites as you can: MySpace, YouTube, Del.icio.us, Digg, Wikipedia … my favorite is Squidoo, where you can create Lenses on different topics that interest you. User driven content that’s utilized by all the major social media sites. Of course, link back to your sites in your posts and creations in these user-created content havens and watch your PR ratings go way up.

3. Use Interactive Scripts Place interactive JavaScripts and platforms on your own sites. Have membership forums, polls, blogs, feedback forms, user-contributions… to build unique content driven sites. Become the spider!

4. Tagging (Folksonomy) Be constantly aware of the tags (keywords) you’re creating with your blogs and sites. This can have a very beneficial effect on your traffic and rankings. Closely relate these tags to the content on your sites and build higher rankings in all the major search engines.

5. The Long Tail Especially important for affiliate marketers, you need to cover special niches where there is less competition and content. These narrow niches make up a large portion of the whole vast web, creating content in these unique areas will get your site included in the search engines a lot quicker and keep them there a lot longer.

6. Holistic Web 2.0 Be constantly vigilant in placing your sites in the whole ‘Interactive Game’, building links and partnerships with the important YouHubs: MySpace, Del.icio.us, YouTube, Digg, Squidoo… the more connections you have, the more your own sites will prosper.

Be The Spider!
No doubt, Web 2.0 will play an ever increasing role in the development and evolution of the web. Make sure your sites are optimized and in the ‘You’ game. Create blogs, RSS feeds, interactive forums, membership areas, user-generated content and truly make your sites interactive havens in their own right. Just remember to tag everything and your sites will reap the benefits of this new Web 2.0 generated SEO gold rush.

Using SEO to Achieve Top Rank on Google

SEO – How to Get A Top Ranking in Google

This article describes how to get a top position in Google; it also tells what not do when trying for a high ranking position.

When starting an internet business or service one of the goals which should be foremost in the mind of the owner is how to achieve the top ranking in Google for the service or product that you are offering.

It’s a dream come true for a webmasters site to appear at the top of Google’s search results, especially if the website is actually selling a product or service. In a competitive industry this would mean that the orders would start rolling in with such a force that the business would grow incredibly quickly. Is it all just a dream? NO! I’ve done it for hundreds of businesses and you can do it for yourself too.

The first and foremost task when trying to get your site to the top of Google is to start link building, not just any old link building but having your keywords included in your "anchor". Anchor links are when the links are actually clickable, if for example you were selling green buttons the link would not be a www link. It would actually say "green buttons".

The next step is choosing the correct keyword phrases for your site. Now most people want to be on the first page of Google for a one word phrase like "Buttons". However, if you only sold buttons made of silver, it would be bringing you the wrong type of customer. It would be best to choose keyword phrases like "Silver Buttons" or "Buttons made of Silver". This would bring you the right type of customer and it your Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) efforts would show results a lot quicker.

Integrate the keyword phrases throughout your site with your best ones on your homepage. Without the keywords on your site, your site will not perform at all.

The next step is to actually go out and get some back links to your site, be smart about whom you get links from, as websites that are relevant to your industry will have far more weight when it comes to giving you good results. Getting a few powerful links with a page rank of 6 or 7 will give you almost immediate results and I have personally seen websites make it onto the first page within a couple of days.

How to unmask pseudo SEO consultants

The best thing which SEO’s can do are optimization of website as per known principles, best practices, good guess work and lot of hard work. Optimally, a company can claim to achieve good ranking like in top 10 on Google.

Google SEO: New Discoveries

As soon as you submit something Google will rank it very high and then as time elapses you will see your rankings going down and newer content sometimes with less quality will stay at the top too.

Google SEO and Ranking Tips

The keyword prominence is another factor deterring Google SEO ranking. It is important that a keyword is used in bold, in large fonts and at the top of the page. The closer the keyword is to the top of the page, the more weight it will have.

Marketing with SEO Article Content

Article Marketing in SEO

Article marketing offers you 4 main benefits, all of which deliver visitors to your web site. And best of all, it’s likely to continue sending you visitors for years.

This is a great way to provide traffic to a web site that does not require any capital from the business owner.  Only effort on the part of the article writer and deploying the articles on article subscription services is all that is required. This is a good method for people that are just starting an online company.

An original article published on a third party site can send targeted visitors to your site for years. In fact, there are 4 main benefits to article marketing…

1. You give people in your target market another way to find you
2. You can link back to your site
3. Links from your article are contextual
4. You can combine article marketing with on-site lead generation

Let’s take a closer look at these benefits, and find out how to make them work for you.

Another way to find you

I tend to think of each article I write as a net that catches visitors. The more nets I put out in the world, the more visitors I catch.

In the case of articles, they only catch visitors willing to read the article. This means they only deliver people likely to be interested in my services (they’ve read the article and clicked through to my site).

A good article will continue to send visitors for years. My most successful article to date was published in 2007. I still average one visitor per day from that article, and love the fact that work I did well over a year ago continues to pay off.

What’s not to love about that?

Link back to your site

One of the methods used by search engines to assess the value of a web site (relative to its competitors), is via the links it receives from other external sites.

A well-established article site is likely to have good page rank, so a link from such a site is likely to carry considerable weight (i.e. help your own page rank).

This only works if the article you’re linking from is original, and the link back to your site is contextual.

Contextual linking

A contextual link is one that provides a search engine with a key word useful to your business. Such a link helps the search engine to understand what the site is about, and how to index it.

This means the page being linked from has to match both the text in the link, and the content on the page being linked to. For example, linking the text "stamp collecting" to a web site dedicated to motor racing probably won’t help the site’s search engine performance. Linking the text "stamp collecting" to a web site dedicated to stamp collecting is far more likely to pay off.

Combine with on-site lead generation

Article marketing works very well with lead generation. It requires a subtle hand, because article sites aren’t interested in publishing your advertising copy. They want something their readers will find useful.

A useful article is one that whets the appetite of its reader. A reader that finishes the article is likely to be in the author’s target market, and ready to find out more. It’s perfectly natural for the author to link to more information from such an article, and it’s just as likely the reader will want to click through.

Article marketing works

Article marketing pays off in 4 different ways. Not just once, but over and over again. I regard it as an excellent use of my time.

In return for sharing some of your expertise with the world, you get to boost the number of qualified prospects you get back your site. What’s not to love about that?

Writing SEO Articles

This is the way to get the most use from the SEO technique. Never ever force the keyword when writing the article. The article needs to be informational, forthright and entertaining to read. Do not ignore usage of correct grammar just to get the keywords into the article.

Increase Web Traffic

The most important aspect of automatic article submission is you spend your time writing. In summary the best tool for SEO and increasing web traffic is article marketing with the long term goal of building backlinks and in turn ranking in the search engines.

Define Search Engine Optimization

SEO – About Search Engine Positioning Strategy

A definition and description of basic search engine optimization (SEO) strategies that are commonly used to increase website traffic, sales and membership conversions.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that search engine optimization is a hit and miss proposition. It is a fine marketing art that anyone can learn and search engine optimization techniques. They are used to exponentially increase sales and membership conversions. To make a big profit on the Internet it is crucial that you try and maintain your site within the top ten page rankings in search engines and directories. Eighty percent of all web traffic comes from Internet searches done on these engines and directories.

To get your site within those top ten rankings you need to follow a progressive SEO strategy. The general approach is to include your search engine optimized language in the form of key words in your web page’s titles, descriptions and Meta tags. A meta-tag is a piece of HTML cod that is created specifically to help bring your web page to a search engine spider’s attention. The spiders and bots will notice these tags but they are not visible to people who view your site.

However to make life complicated there is some debate about whether or not you actually need to use meta-tags on your web pages. This is because there is a belief out there that the major search engines are changing the way they search pages as inserting meta-tags in your copy is considered to be an unfair advantage over sites that might be just as legitimate as yours. Still to be on the safe side the insertion of meta-tags into your copy should still probably be an essential component of your search engine positioning strategy.

One reason that this has become a topic of debate is because in the early days of online internet business and search engine rankings, meta tags were used as the key ranking value.  Firms seeking traffic then used to perform "key word stuffing" of the meta tags to drive traffic to pages and sites that did not have content based on those meta tags and, as a result, this tag became less relevant to search engines.

Yet another strategy is to also put in as many links as you can to other websites as the search engine spiders love sites that contain lists of links to other sites and rank them higher in the search engine ranking pages. The higher your ranking is, the more money you will make as a web business as you will maximize the number of visitors to your web site.
