Handling an online business on the Internet can be a tiring, but rewarding, task. You need to promote your brands, as well as your various products and services to your targeted community. This can be really hard, especially to someone who has little to no knowledge on how the Internet works. However, it is really easy, especially if you are familiar with the various online marketing strategies, which can be easy to learn even if you are a total newbie on the Internet. SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is one of the many online marketing strategies you can use to promote your online business.

Search Engine Optimization, as said earlier, makes use of keywords and keyword phrases to promote your business on the Internet. With the right use of keywords / keyword phrases, you can ensure that you can make your online business well-known to the Internet community. However, determining the right keywords can be a hard task, especially if you don’t have the tools and the know-how on picking the right keywords. But if you have the right tools and software, you can easily make up your keywords in the fly, and use it to promote your business online without having to exert too much effort on it!

There are many different benefits of having SEO as your main online marketing strategy. These benefits range from minute benefits such as cheap and very easy to do, to the more long-term benefits such as being on the top spot (or first page on search results) for months to come. But all these benefits “benefit” your company, no matter how small or big these benefits are. These benefits will surely make your company progress and be a huge success in the future, once you get the support of loyal customers and clients that will come from successful SEO online marketing.

As mentioned earlier, SEO is significantly cheaper than most online marketing strategies. It is true; SEO is really cheap and highly effective as well, making it, as said earlier, the most favored online marketing strategy. You only need to “invest” on keywords and keyword phrases, and you’re on your way to making big profits! It doesn’t get any simpler than this, right? If you still think that’s hard, then there are tools that you can use to make it SEO marketing even easier. These tools and programs (specifically made for SEO) will definitely make your SEO marketing a whole lot easier!

Also, SEO marketing is very easy to learn, especially when compared to other online marketing strategies, such as PPC marketing wherein you will need to compute ROI rates, etc. Everyone can do it, because it only involves getting the best possible keyword for your business (also, it should be related to the business niche for it to work effectively). Easy, isn’t it? Also, you don’t need to have business knowledge for this one; rather, you only need time to do some research for it, so make sure that you invest some time for keyword research to ensure your business’ success.

What Is SEO And Why Should You Care?

October 8th, 2011 No comments

By Kevin Alan Cohen

If you have a business, your goal is to make money. It doesn’t matter whether you are B2B or B2C, online or offline, a product or service company. Everyone has the same issue: sales. Sales are the lifeline for any business. And all of the businesses I have worked with have sales problem. It doesn’t matter whether you are start-up or a Fortune 500 business, you need more sales.

What is SEO?

SEO or search engine optimization is the process of increasing a website’s visibility in search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing. The SEO process includes: -How you code a page with page titles, Meta tags, Alt tags, etc. -How you write a page with respect to keywords (keyword optimization) -And link building from 3rd party sites.

The first two processes above are called On Page SEO. The last process, link building, is called Off Page SEO. All of these factors are analyzed by secret search engine algorithms, and the result of this analysis is the respective page ranking or SERP.

How Does SEO Work?

Currently, billions of searches are done on Google each month. It is estimated that 60% of those people do not search beyond page 1 after they get the search engine results. Also, 42% of people searching click on the first result they see on Google, Yahoo, or Bing! In short, if you are page 1 and ranked 1 for any given search term, 25% of that addressable market is clicking on your link!

A Word of Caution

The SEO process is not inherently hard to do, but it does take time. Google rarely ranks a new site or a rising site to page 1. We tell our clients that SEO is a 3-12 month commitment to get quality results that will last. The search engines can detect unnatural links, so you will be penalized for building links too quickly. In addition, you have to be prepared to create a lot of content. Google loves content. Also, there is increased competition daily, as more and more business put resources into their online efforts. Lastly, SEO is moving target. Yes, you will increase your rankings if you do the right SEO tactics, but you cannot control your competitors or Google.

Conclusion

SEO is a must for any business that generates sales or leads online. Just remember to do your homework and be prepared for a journey. Rome was not built overnight…neither will your search engine rankings!

Top Search engine optimization Suggestions For 2011

SEO is often painted as something that is extremely difficult, with warnings about messing everything up if it’s done wrong. These are scare tactics in many cases – most people are perfectly capable of handling a little SEO on their own. You just need to be smart about what you’re doing and educate yourself before hand. Here are some great SEO tips to help anyone get started with their new campaign.

Be Bold – It’s old school, but bolding the keywords within your content can have some impact on your SEO. It also makes your keywords stand out to the people reading your content, which can improve conversions as it promotes the relevancy to the reader. Just don’t bold every instance of the keyword.

Deep Linking – If you send all of the traffic to your home page, the search engines are going to flag you as less relevant. Make traffic point to deep pages and the search engines will start to think you’re an authority on various subjects, because people want to share your deeper material.

Social Bookmarking – Social bookmarking can help you get your deeper pages and blog posts found online quickly. By bookmarking your content, you’re not only getting a link back to that page but you’re also opening the potential floodgates for people to surge in through social bookmarking sites. That relevant, targeted traffic can really help your business thrive.

Title your Links – Many content management systems allow you to put a title on your links. Use titles for your link building within your domain as this can help visually impaired surfers. Likewise, the search engines can factor titles into your indexing, using them to determine the relevancy of content

Mind Your Anchor Text – SEO is important, but don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Change up the anchor text you use in your link building and SEO. If you lump everything under one keyword it can begin to look suspicious to the search engines. Use your URL, company name or some other similar keyword.

Site Map – To help with the indexing of your site and your overall SEO campaign, make sure you have an updated site map. This makes it easy for the algorithm to crawl the deeper pages of your site and find content much more easily.

Go Off-site – Don’t forget about your offsite content marketing for an SEO boost. There are a lot of ways to market offsite such as with article directories. Whether you’re link building or trying to funnel targeted traffic, content submission is typically free so it only costs you time to create and publish the content.

You don’t have to have a major college degree or attend an ivy league school to understand what goes on with SEO. The best route is to learn the basics and manage a few things on your own. Then you can turn to professionals to handle the rest.

Has Article Marketing Gone The Way Of The DoDo Bird?

October 3rd, 2011 No comments

Copyright © 2011 Titus Hoskins

After the Google Panda Update, has article marketing become less effective? That’s a major question which many webmasters and online marketers seem to be asking these days. It has also brought up the whole notion that article marketing is, in fact, dead. Well, here’s my two cents on this whole issue.

Article marketing has always been one of my most basic and solid online marketing techniques. One which has brought in sales, traffic and those all important one-way quality backlinks to my content. Then came the Google Panda Update and changed everything…

We have had countless major Google Algorithm updates before, but Panda was different, mainly because instead of examining just one page on your site, it looked at the quality of your WHOLE site and ranked it accordingly. Supposedly, those sites with perceived “poor quality” or not enough “original” content got lowered in the Google Index and rankings – not a good thing to happen to any site. Unfortunately, like all these updates, some innocent high quality sites were hit and their rankings and search traffic dropped significantly.

And then as they say, all hell broke loose.

Panic quickly followed and many webmasters with lucrative high ranking keywords in Google, not only took notice, but started making changes on their own sites. This panic or alarm was so great, we had thousands if not millions, of webmasters dropping content which was not original or/and changing many of their outgoing links to “no follow” on their sites.

It seemed like everyone had collectively closed shop and drawn a protective barrier around their sites; making doubly sure they would not get penalized by Google for having too much non-original content or a poor quality site.

I believe article marketing was the greatest victim of the Panda Update and fallout. Not only were the article directories like Ezinearticles hit hard, but more significantly, the perceived effectiveness of article marketing itself, took a direct hit by this update. Sometimes perception is everything, especially on the web. If webmasters believed having a non-unique article on their site, no matter if the article is well written and of top-notch quality, would lower their site’s rankings in the eyes of Google, then the article must go or be deleted.

While it is sometimes foolhardy to draw general conclusions from your own limited experiences, I have seen my traffic and sales, from the different article directories fall dramatically. My traffic from Ezinearticles, which was my biggest source, has fallen to a trickle. More alarmingly, my articles don’t get picked up and displayed on other sites like they did in the past. Again, it should be emphasized, these are only my findings… other authors may have different outcomes and I do know of a few marketers who have seen their traffic increase from Ezinearticles, mostly with unique articles displayed on that site.

After Panda, it seems Google is trying to list or rank the author’s site first in their rankings for any articles. After a slight drop in traffic immediately after the Panda Update, I have seen my traffic bounce back and this may be one of the reasons. In the past, I had placed many of my articles on my own sites as well as on the other sites and in the article directories. Going forward, I will write more unique articles for other sites and the directories, just to keep the “original content” factor/signal from popping up.

Google’s Use of the Author Tag

I was also very curious to see that Google has started supporting “authorship markup” or the “author” attribute tag in their search engine. According to a post by Othar Hansson, a software engineer at Google, “The markup uses existing standards such as HTML5 (rel=”author”) and XFN (rel=”me”) to enable search engines and other web services to identify works by the same author across the web.” If the content is on the same domain you use the rel=”author” tag and link it to your author’s page on that same domain. If your content is listed on a site where you don’t have an author’s page or profile, you can always link the content back to your own site’s author page by using the (rel=”me”) attribute tag. To learn exactly how the “author” tag works visit Google’s help page here: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=1229920

I am even more interested to see if, over time, Google starts placing the same kind of importance on web writers, as they do with authority sites. Google’s goal is to present the highest quality content available on the web, one way of judging/ranking this quality is by the author. King is King is King… no matter where it is displayed on the web.

However, getting back to our initial question concerning the apparent extinction of article marketing? There is no denying that article marketing has become less effective after the Panda Update and the follow-up changes made by Google.

Some webmasters/marketers are solving this problem by using software programs to “spin” articles in order to produce countless unique versions of an article. Quite frankly, I have never been satisfied with any “spun” version of an article – it simply sounds awkward or doesn’t have the right flow to it. However, it may fool the search engines, and many unscrupulous marketers are seeing good results from this type of article marketing because all the articles appear unique. Obviously, this is another headache for Google, because these inferior “spun” articles may become much more prevalent on the web after Panda, lowering the overall quality of content on the web and in their index, rather than increasing it.

Personally, while I am losing X amount of dollars, I just can’t bring myself to use this sort of “software” to produce countless inferior versions of my articles. Instead, I have started to write unique articles and submit them to only one site. And for what it’s worth, I will still continue to write other viral articles which will hopefully get placed on numerous sites. And while they still bring targeted traffic back to my sites, my returns on these viral articles seems to be less and less, as many major sites have stopped taking these “non-unique” types of articles after the Panda Update. In my honest opinion, while article marketing is not quite dead, its glory days have long since passed.

5 Amazing Tips For Successful Facebook Ads

September 17th, 2011 No comments

Facebook ads are one of the most popular and inexpensive ways to promote a small business online. According to research from BIA/Kelsey LCM, 48 percent of SMBs (small and medium businesses) are using Facebook for advertising or promoting their business. Forty percent said they have a Facebook page just for their business.

1. Know Your Goals and Plan Around Them

The first step is understanding what you want accomplish. Some goals could include looking to build awareness of your company or brand, and driving traffic to your web site. Promoting a specific event or generating sales are other common goals.

To build awareness and grow your fan base (getting people to “Like” your page), there are standard marketplace ads. The ads point to your Facebook Page and allow users to “like” your page, using the Like link right in the ad. You also could try a “Page Like” sponsored story, where the ad shows friends who have liked your Page.

You can even target people who are friends with people who already “like” your Page, which creates a social context, that makes people much more likely to remember the ad’s content.

When you want to promote a particular post from your page, such as a special offer or important news, you can also use “Page Post” sponsored stories to convert your post into a News Feed item.

Sponsored Stories is one of Facebook’s newest marketing tool which promotes word-of-mouth recommendations about your business that are happening in the News Feed. You can sponsor stories about people checking in to your business or “liking” your Page.

Measure success by social media metrics. Click-through rate (CTR) is an important metric to track, but since the average CTR for Facebook ads is only about 0.05%, which is half the industry standard of 0.1%. Instead set goals to increase in comments, Likes, impressions and active users. Facebook has hundreds of reports you can use to analyze results, make use of them for maximum results.

2. Targeting with Your Ads

When placing your Facebook ad, the form makes it very easy to select the demographic profile of your target audience. It has the added feature of the ability to target very specific audiences. Here, less is more.

Better results are achieved by having less very targeted people, rather than having large numbers of people who are not interested. Gaining smaller but very specific target audiences, even at the risk of reducing the size of your audience, can be more effective.

Let’s say you want to promote an event at your business. It would be more effective to target people who are already fans of your page, who may be more likely to respond to a a local offer. Besides targeting people by location, you may want to also use names of popular local businesses, colleges and clubs into the ad manager to find the people that don’t put their city and zip code in their profiles.

3. Choose Text and Images That Grab Attention

When designing your ad, you have up to 135 characters, but some of the most effective ads don’t use the whole character limit. Use small and concise ads that speaks directly to the audience you will reach. Special offers or unique features that differentiate you from the competition, are also effective. Facebook suggests using your company name in the ad title or somewhere in the body of the ad. A simple line can be the biggest draw. It can be in the form of asking a question or making a bold or odd statement. Remember to include something that encourages users to click on your ad and explains to the user exactly what you expect them to do when they reach your landing page.

An image that will draw a person’s attention to your ad is recommended. Logos in this case, may not be the best way to go. Since the photos are small, use something unusual or a face shot of people. Smiling women tend to generate a high click rate. Experts recommend trying natural photos with colors that contrast with the blue color scheme of Facebook, such as red, yellow and orange.

4. Use and Measure Multiple Ads

Create multiple versions of your ad and test them to see which ad gets the best response. Once an ad has been created, you have the option to “Create a Similar Ad”, via the Facebook interface, and put in a new picture or text.

Experts recommend creating four different ads for the same campaign. Run each ad for a day or two and then check your ad statistics on Facebook to see which did best. You can then create a new ad that is similar to your ad that performed the best, with a few minor changes to see if it improves the ad’s performance. Since these ads rotate constantly, keep changing the ads so that your specific target audience doesn’t get disinterested.

Also, take top-performing ads and create new ad groups with related ad copy and pictures. This will lower your costs because your ad group has a higher CTR (Click Through Rate).

Facebook has hundreds of reports available, and it is wise to make use of them.

5. Be Ready To Get the Most Out of Your Traffic

Keep your Facebook Wall fresh and updated. Stale content, like the last Wall update was weeks or months ago, will make people lose interest. Give them a reward for visiting so they keep coming back.

Most people don’t click through to your Facebook page; they click ‘like’ right in the ad. Have fresh status updates or special offers or events available that follow up on the content in your ads, and get people to keep coming back.

The click you get is not the end result, it’s the beginning of presenting your campaign to your audience. When someone likes your page, you now have their consent to talk and update them over and over. Boundless opportunities can result by keeping them interested with fresh content, special offers, coupons and events, on an ongoing basis.

Affiliate Marketing: 5 SEO Tips For Blogging

September 13th, 2011 No comments

A well SEO optimised blog can bring in a lot of targeted traffic for the affiliate marketing practitioner. We all know that receiving visits from people who are interested in a particular niche provides an audience to sell to and can lead to success with income building. These blogging search engine optimisation tips can go a long way in getting you the traffic that you are looking for:

Use keywords in your URLs.
Using search engine friendly URLs can be one of the quickest ways to appear in search engine results. Check your blogging software for an automatic setting that will do this task for you – it’s called custom permalinks and can be found in the settings of WordPress.

Use keywords in the body of text.
Don’t over-do this, but by adding keywords at a rate of 1-4% of content can get you noticed by the search engines. Also use photos that have been saved using the keyword that you want to appear for. Use the ALT img tag on images to add the keyword too. Keep this in mind for any other blog sites that you use for your affiliate marketing efforts.

Use Google’s keyword tool.
Once you’ve selected your keyword using this tool, then take a note of the other words that appear. These are known as LSI or Latent Semantic Indexing words. They are closely related to your keyword choice and can help you get found and ranked.

Regularly update your blog.
Writing content is going to the toughest part of keeping your blog. You can either ask others to write for you – guest posters or outsourcing, or do it yourself. The latter will be most rewarding but the hardest. If you know your topic area well, then see what you can do to create some pillar posts. These posts are of unique and original content but are highly linkable and share-worthy. Where possible promote your products and use your affiliate marketing links.

Use meta tags.
If you’re using WordPress you might want to use the SEO in One plug-in. Then you can use meta tags such as meta description and keywords to give extra search power to your blog post.

Create back links to your content.
You can use anchor text to confirm that the content of your blog post is related to your keywords. If you decide to outsource this task, then be sure that any links created are of high quality. You can link to blogs, social bookmarking, articles and Squidoo pages, amongst other sites.

Make the most of your H1s.
Actually H1, H2 and H3 tags can all help with reaffirming the keyword for your post. Personally I prefer using WordPress as my blogging software as it makes using all tags easy to do.

Add the keyword at the beginning and the end.
It’s key to use your keyword in the first sentence of your blog post. You should also use it in the last sentence too.

Keep going.
If you don’t receive immediate results with your blogging efforts, don’t lose heart. As with all affiliate marketing – you just have to keep on keeping on for best results.

All About Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

August 25th, 2011 No comments

By John Anthonio

As the internet becomes an ever more powerful tool to do business with, the need for driving traffic to a site is increasingly important. With the application of SEO, a page can be made more visible to potential visitors through its appearance organically in the upper results of a search engine.

Web pages as well as entire websites can be optimized in order to make websites more search engine friendly. Some of the most important aspects of the optimization process include the content, structure and links on a website. In this way, one gets the opportunity to promote the website and business on the Internet, boosting traffic and ultimately profits.

You can develop relevancy of a site’s search listings and thus can boost the web traffic by adding up related keywords to Metadata of a web page. The use of URL normalization of web pages can enhance the page’s link popularity score.

Improving the linking popularity of the website helps a great deal. This can be done by linking your website to other websites. While doing this, making sure that the quality of the linked websites is good is also important.

You can anticipate enhanced search engine rankings by choosing the right online marketing company to work for you. These enhanced search engine rankings in turn will compliment your efforts with improved traffic. If done in the right way, it can attain the long term sustainability and profitability that any company looks forward to.

It is important to remember that you have to make SEO work for you and your business in the long run. For this, it is important that you should have something unique about your website. This will give you an edge over the other websites in the same industry.

The traffic driven to your site will also likely be far more relevant, reducing wasted leads and unfulfilled orders. This relevancy will in turn drive down your competitors again too. Provide a good service, get good results on review pages, and this process will repeat itself through no work of your own too!

Specialization in a certain niche is always a very good idea and is very helpful for the promotion of your website. Through this, you can always attract more targeted traffic to your website. If you want your website to have an edge over other similar ones, do your research before starting a new website so that you know what others are offering and what you can offer that will make your website stand out.

Without the help of a marketer, it can be difficult to reach out to the good prospects. The worthy prospects usually prefer those sites that have a good ranking. Hence, SEO will help in the process of bringing your site into the limelight. This helps drag more traffic and in turn gives the potential to reach out to large number of prospects.

Every Site Needs An SEO Strategy

In order for a site to achieve any sort of success, it must rank highly in the search engines, and this can never be achieved unless there is some sort of SEO strategy in place. The search engines all go by a certain algorithm and all sites have to continuously change to suit this. Some of the most important parts of optimization for the search engines are keyword research, popularity of links and internet marketing.

You can get targeted traffic to your site by properly researching the keywords you use and determining the best combination that will help you to get the kind of traffic that is specifically targeted to your site. The purpose of optimizing your website is so that the search engines will not have any problems with it when they go to spider it. Every page on your site needs to be related somehow, and there needs to be one cohesive theme throughout.

Upon landing on your site, there needs to be a homepage with text that will give an explanation of your site’s theme and every other page on the site should somehow relate to your homepage. The best way to get the relevant traffic to your site is by using a predetermined SEO strategy. Any time or money that you spend on this will be well worth it in the future when your site begins to see more success as a result of your efforts. In order to get people to find your site, you have to focus on the right keyword phrases and then start promoting these keywords so that you will start seeing your site rise higher in the rankings with the search engines.

If you want to get your site in the results of the search engines even faster, you can try purchasing the links that are high PR. Go through your site and do a thorough check of all your links to make sure that none of them are broken. The ranking of your site will be directly affected by any links inside of it that do not work properly, especially if they remain broken for a significant period of time.

Article marketing works great in a sense that every time you publish an article there will be another link back to your site. The more links you have back to your site, the more link popularity you have, which is another thing that will get you higher rankings in the search engines. There is a signature box on each of your articles that has a direct link to your site. You have to optimize your articles to the best of your ability with just the right keywords in all the right places. The optimization techniques that you use are going to be what determines the listing that you end up getting in each of the search engines. Any online business must employ the right SEO techniques in order to get ranked in the search engines and receive a larger amount of targeted traffic.

SEO Basics & Benefits For New Webmasters

July 28th, 2011 No comments

SEO is usually considered as a way of getting more visitors from the search engines. But the theory behind it is quite the opposite, and a site or page that gets more visitors from other sources is ranked higher. Search algorithms try to divine which pages are most suitable for specific keywords based mostly on what visitors and other webmasters think about the page. So a page that gets more visitors gets ranked higher in the search engines.

The thing to remember here is that the website and each page has to offer value and a positive user experience. Once word gets around that the site is better than others, more and more people should start visiting and talking about it. This buzz attracts search engines too, and the website’s pages start going up in search rankings.

This theory looks good on paper, so let’s get down to the actual components of an SEO campaign. The first and obvious concern is of course to offer visitors new, interesting and unique content on a regular basis. But there are a lot of other things that need tweaking, such as focusing the content of each page on specific keywords.

Find a free or paid keyword tool for generating high value keywords relevant to the site, and start matching these keywords to landing pages. Optimize the images and templates for better fonts and navigation menus. Move to a web host that is more search friendly with a fast loading speed.

Improve the site usability and use tools for traffic analysis – find out the demographics, where visitors are coming from and what they do on site. After this comes the heavy work of improving site visibility and a myriad other traffic acquisition methods. Major components include internet marketing, social media outreach and link building.

Link building is an ongoing activity that needs the supervision of a professional. There are numerous different types of links and link swap arrangements. For example, a link could be a 1-way organic link provided by like-minded webmasters writing about the same subject, or it would be a 2-way or 3-way link partnership. The links can be deep links, sitewide or blogroll links, or a home page link.

If anything, internet marketing requires even more expertise and is a much bigger thing to tackle. There are libraries filled with books about the many different ways to promote a website, including things like directory/article submissions, rss feeds & subscriptions, press releases, viral videos, forum postings and local business listings. The only thing that limits the returns here is how much time and money can be allocated to acquiring this traffic.

Apart from the search engines, social media is the biggest source of traffic for most websites. SEO just can’t be done without social media being an integral component for generating buzz, getting more visitors directly from the networks and as a result of a boost in search rankings when a link gets shared widely. There are also other ways in which social media can produce search traffic, such as keyword-targeted instant search visitors indirectly reaching the site after being sent to a social media posting.
