Nestor Pabon — Wed, 16 May 2012 04:49:06 +0000

Buying the No. 1 ad position on Google is cost-prohibitive for most budgets, but you don’t necessarily need to be on top to boost sales, writes Blizzard Internet Marketing’s Carrie Hill. She offers a primer on using Google AdWords to land your ads in the spots most likely to maximize your return on investment. See further below for a link to the original article.

First of all I must confess that I do not use Adwords, and am terrified at the prospects of loosing my shirt with it. However; I have read about many who have done well and even written how to books on the subject. My problem is that running an Adwords campaign takes certain fortitude, and considerable amount of time to do it right. Since my business model does not incorporate paid for traffic tactics like PPC or PPV Adwords has been a stategy I have avoided.

Carrie Hill says “…Reality and actuality sometimes don’t start off in the same place, or even the same hemisphere. When we talk about Google AdWords, clients sometimes expect a few hours of education on how the setup of a campaign works, and then they’re off and running – generating thousands of dollars with minimal involvement.
That’s their expectation. The reality is AdWords for even a moderate budget could really be a full-time, 40-hour-per-week job. There are many intricacies in an AdWords account, and it’s becoming more complicated by the day. Analytics plays a vital role in deciding how to spend your money effectively.”

I can not imagine myself glued to the keyboard and monitor screen for 40-hour. Heck I left a 60 hour per week engineering career! So you know that the last thing I want to do is repeat the past. However; there seems to be a few tricks of the trade one should learn if you are going to use Adwords.

In her article Carrie shows you how to find the most profitable positions, and how to create automated rules in AdWords to ensure your keywords show ads in the most desirable places on the search results pages.

She talks about using certain analytic, and how to manage your CPC in order to get the maximum return on your investment. So go over to Search Engine Land and read Carrie Hills article. I think you will learn a lot from it.

How To Survive The Panda and Penguin Attack

Nestor Pabon — Wed, 09 May 2012 17:50:46 +0000

Have you been attacked by the recent Google algorithm updates?

Both the Panda and Penguin code updates have impacted not only those sites which these codes where created to impact,but many a good site which had been previously categorized as authority sites have been negatively impacted as well.

Much as been written regarding these codes, and many more bloggers have reported that using Google Webmaster Tools such as Google Analytic give the big “G” an unfair advantage, and with such “inside” info they are destroying many sites.

I cannot verify this information because I have GA running in several of my sites; some of them are sites created during my first years as an internet marketer, and others reflect my growth and understanding as a blogger. It is fair to say that the earlier sites where not so good, and did not reflect the type of sites which mayor Search Engines are proud to index and rank. Therefore they have not done well with either Panda or Penguin.

The sites which have done very well, are those sites which have Original Content

However; I must clarify that when I refer to Original Content I’m referring to content I personally created, and content I have borrowed from others. I’ve learned that so long as I keep it around 60/40 or 70/30 I tend to do well in the rankings. Obviously I’m referring to 60 and or 70 percent original content with the rest being 40 or 30 percent borrowed content.

One important point to make is that you must always credit the source of your borrowed content. This is significant. I even go a step further, I go to the site where I borrowed the content from, and leave a comment indicating I’ve borrowed a portion of their article, and have given them credit for it. This has in returned helped get my comment approved, and I’ve earn a back link from it as well as traffic from an authority site.

Then End Of Link Farms

Last week Alex Wares (managing director at search marketing agency Mediarun) wrote:

“…‘Penguin’ has come into force, looking to eradicate websites that break search best practice rules. However, Google has been forced to admit teething problems with the update after it received complaints from legitimate companies that had been removed from search rankings as a result of the changes.
In spite of the negativity, the original aim of Penguin to clean up the web space is a positive move for the SEO industry.
The Penguin algorithm launched on 24 April, and is an update focused squarely on reducing ‘black hat webspam’…”

Source: Penguin out to floor website malpractice

The objective of the Penguin Google code is to de-value or if you will de-index sites created purely with the purpose of manipulating Google to give itself a high search ranking and make itself more prominent. Other wise referred to as content-farms, these sites contain little if no value added content which is often time computer generated content or “spun content” which if read by a human would make little if no sense at all.

The objective of the content-farms was never to provide value content to the reader, but to give its subscriber, as universe of Page Ranked 1 – 3 blog sites from which a backlink pointing to the subscriber’s “money-site” would be found by the Google Bots. The idea being that if the Google Bots found such a link from a supposedly reputable site, then the target site should be reputable as well.

Well, the cuddly Penguin has put several of these content-farms out of business. Many of them where charging over $100/month for this service, and now they are worthless.

The moral of this story is “garbage in, garbage out.”

Do your own work, and give your readers info they can use and find beneficial. This is the only way to keep your readers returning over and over again.

How To Design Websites That Attract The Right Market

Blaine Dur — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 09:33:13 +0000

There are lots of ways to ruin your website design. Unattractive photos that are improperly sized, contrast that has been poor, color schemes that do not work, and unexciting content are among them. But if you are looking to understand how NOT to design websites for failure, then you essentially really should answer this matter: what does your site do for the site visitors?

In truth, visitors don’t care about your website and what you now say in your web site. All they care about is what your website can perform for them. And customarily, guests wish to find information from a website, additionally want to acquire something they necessitate, and additionally they desire to be entertained. If the site is none of the above, you then can expect your competitor website to be creaming with the money, traffic, and loyalty.

What does this reveal about how you should design website pages? Your comprehensible focus has to be for the experience you are going to give to your guests. Do you have content that makes sense to them? Is your navigation effortless and prompt enough? Do you think you’re even certain your internet site loads on both Mozilla or Internet Explorer browsers? One can lose visitors immediately if you do not guarantee that they could reach your website. It is very easy for site visitors to leave your web site and change to your competitor’s site.

One online hotel booking engine attempted to provide clients an outstanding experience by tying up their hotel products to charity. Cause marketing and Public Relations is often rather effective, but you can easily lose your magic using a bad design. Being too cluttered dissolves the fundamental attribute of this advertising approach and can dilute the possibility for a positive, moving experience among the latent market.

You also have to take into consideration the Search Engines. Take the big “G” for example, and one of their recent changes. Google will take a look at your site, and if the portion of your site which is above the fold is jammed packed with adverts you are not going to impress them, and your site will not get favorably ranked, if at all.

Therefore you most take into consideration many factors when designing your site. But the most important factor of all is how easy can your reader find the content they came looking for.

I have learned that the use of “Categories” helps your user know what they are about to read. Take this following site as a way of example:

http://hometheatersystemssolutions.com/wireless-speaker-for-home-theater/

I really liked what Kelly (webmaster) did. She is using a theme named Thesis. And by the looks of it, it seems to be a very flexible theme. As you can see, she has added graphics and a description to the category which tell the reader what they can find in this section. This is a perfect example of how to properly use Categories. However; not all themes give you this flexibility. But I know Thesis does, because I happen to own a licensed copy, and use it throughout my sites.

So do not forget, that you have two clients; your principal client is Google. You must make certain you are giving Google what it needs in order for Google to give it’s clients what they are looking for.

So what Does Google need. Well, the big “G” needs content. But not just any content. Make sure that your content answer a question. If a person is surfing for something; what would they like to know about that “something? Get in the mind of your reader. Provide as much detailed content regarding the topic they are searching for, and Google will reward you handsomely.

Then use a website framework that is totally flexible, and easy to use. The most flexible WordPress theme I know off is Thesis. There are tons of videos from really knowledgeable webmaster covering just about anything you want the theme to do for you.

I’m not an affiliate of Thesis, so this is not the reason I’m recommending the theme. I just feel it is a great WordPress Theme Frame Work which rock!

Having a blog on your website not only gives you another way to provide relevant content to potential clients but also gives you another way to search engine optimize your website. You can use the free Google AdWords keyword generation tool to determine which article topics will drive the most traffic to your site.

This is probably the most cliche tip out there, but the only proven, fool proof method of getting more exposure and traffic is to create great content.

Find a few core concepts or ideas for your website and keep a small group of keywords that revolve around these ideas. You do not want to attempt to tackle every big thing being searched online and lessen your impact on another. Rather than spreading across a wide range of keywords, you need to try and take control of a select few.

Tips on Effective Internet Article Marketing

Nia Lawrence — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 10:34:39 +0000

While it is true that the primary purpose of internet article marketing is to bring more traffic to the website of an online business, it doesn’t mean that those who write articles for this purpose don’t take writing them seriously. Other than observing the proper keyword density so that the articles will not be labeled as spam by search engines, writers of these articles spend a lot of time researching what they should write about. Without question, most of the articles written for internet marketing are products of the writers’ hard work and dedication.

First and foremost, these articles are primarily meant to increase the traffic of the website of an online business. With the use of certain keywords or key phrases that are related to the products or services that an online business offers, the website of the online business will be displayed on the search results pages of search engines. The more people click on the website, the higher it goes on the search results pages. The higher it is on the search results pages, the more people will notice and access it. This can mean increasing sales. This is one reason why many online businesses seek the help of companies that deal with article marketing service.

On the other hand, there are many SEO companies out there that have a great pool of writers. Apart from being resourceful, these writers have almost-flawless English grammar skills and are creative, too. Even if the topics that they are tasked to write about are above their heads, they know they have to do everything in order to come up with really impressive and informative articles that can be used for article marketing service. And, before submitting them to their editors, they do a lot of proofreading of their articles, too.

Is it really important for writers of these articles to proofread their work even if they are good writers? The answer is pretty obvious, and it’s yes. This is because writers, at times, may write things differently from what they really intend them to be. There are some who unconsciously write the homonym of the word that they really want to use. In most cases, because of time constraints, they make typographical errors. However, because they proofread them, these errors are corrected.

Therefore, if you are online business owner and you want to avail yourself of article marketing service, make sure that you go for a company that has really bang up writers. If writers for these companies are dedicated and hardworking, you can never go wrong. Without question, articles are the best way to do marketing on the Internet.

Improve Your Rankings Quickly With the Help of SEO Tools

Michael Fleischner — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 07:43:10 +0000

Achieving online success is easy for some and difficult for others. Why is this the case you might ask? It all comes down to having cost effective tools that get the job done. This is true of most things in life and especially true when it comes to online marketing and search engine optimization. The good news is that there are very powerful SEO tools on the market today that cost very little to own or use.

The key with any piece of software is to know what you want it to do. A good place to start with SEO is with web site analysis. Make sure you’re using software that can help you analyze your website and make the necessary changes necessary to improve your search engine rankings. SEO tools that neglect on page factors can only get you so far. So make sure the tool you use can analyze on page and off page factors.

Use tools that can provide a solid understanding of on page optimization factors. Even if you can build links to your website quickly from high ranking websites, your search ranking may be short lived without adherence to the proper on page factors. Consider the basic factors like your meta tags, page load times, and use of keywords throughout your page. Make sure the online SEO tool you use can run an analysis on these factors for you on a regular basis.

Search engines like Google favor sites that load quickly. The reason why this is so important is because page load times are an essential factor in user experience. Consider two sites that offer valuable information. The first loads in about 4 second and the other in 12. Which one provides a better user experience? It’s a simple question, the one that loads quickly. Consider page load times when working to optimize your site. There are plenty of tools that can help you calculate load times quickly.

Submitting your website to major search engines can be one way to improve the timing associated with getting your site listed. I’ve used site submission whenever a new site is promoted and I need it to be scanned quickly. That said, I don’t believe that site submission is a strong aspect of any SEO campaign. This is because if your site is already structured the right way, it won’t take long to be indexed by a search engine.

Work on establishing in bound links to your website. You want sites to connect to yours in the form of inbound links. This is essential because it shows the major search engines that your website provides a good deal of value to consumers. This linking also carries the benefit of providing page rank value and assigning information that is attributable to where your site is listed on search engines.

If doing business online, you can find plenty of tools that can help you validate your code, evaluate on page factors, determine the speed of your website, help you submit to search engines, and build in-bound links. Chance are, if you want a single tool that can do all of these things, it wont be free. But as I like to say, you get what you pay for.

Before you spend all of your time trying to learn about search engine optimization and generating SEO campaigns, research search engine optimization tools that can help you to succeed online. Using software to do much of the heavy lifting can enhance your results and quickly allow you to achieve what would otherwise take months or years.

SEO Myths Not To Put Much Faith Into

Edwina Serafin — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 09:04:59 +0000

SEO is considered to be one of the most reliable and oldest methods to drive traffic to your site. Visitors come to your site and act because they are qualified and highly targeted. Sending all these visitors to your site is completely free, which is another important fact. However, a lot of people haven’t yet caught up when it comes to obtaining good rankings in the search engines. The SEO field has grown wide, bringing along many myths that make it difficult for you to actually grasp the dynamics behind the search engines. If your intent is to use the search engines in your favor then you need to learn all about the different elements of SEO and how they interact with each other. Some of these fantasies will be proven wrong in this article and you need to understand them before you even get into SEO.

One myth that many people believe in is that in order to rank well you have to create special pages on your site that are optimized for this purpose. The fact is, any page at all can be well ranked by the search engines if you set it up correctly. So creating SEO based landing pages just doesn’t make sense. If you are advertising with PPC you do need a landing page, but it’s not needed to rank in the organic listings. You want your visitors to arrive at one of your site’s main pages, rather than trying to create an extra page for them to land on. If you have pages that don’t get much traffic, focus on improving them instead of creating new pages. It’s simple to understand and grasp this concept if you know why landing pages are needed in the first place and what you should do to actually convert your organic traffic.

Another other myth that is quite common and you should be aware of when you are optimizing your site is that your site will be banned if you don’t conform to Google’s rules and regulations. The main reason is because most of Google’s regulations for webmasters are simply common sense. It’s not compulsory for you to study them if you are certain you are in the right. You need to make certain you aren’t doing anything that the search engines might see as spam or cheating. But yes, go through these Guidelines once because they keep updating and it will help you with gathering knowledge.

Some people believe another common fallacy which is that if you update your site frequently with fresh content it has a great benefit on your SERP rankings. Spiders will crawl your website more frequently if you are constantly updating it and adding fresh content but it will have little effect on the rank of your site. Therefore, you don’t want to update your site with forced changes just for the benefit of the search engines. It won’t have any major impact on them. A little searching will reveal that many top ranking websites in popular niches haven’t been updated in ages.

You have to realize that it takes some time and study to make search engine optimization pay off for you. You may get stuck in certain places, so don’t be afraid to ask questions and do research so you can move forward. Don’t worry if you make mistakes, the point is to learn and improve your skills so you can get the search engines to cooperate with you.

Video Marketing Best Methods Guidelines

Joseph Waters — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 09:15:33 +0000

Video marketing took off like a rocket a few years back, and it is still very popular for a lot of good reasons. There are so many markets that react well to video marketing, but be aware that not all of them do and it will depend on many aspects. Certainly there are markets with higher educated people who mainly want to read. On the other hand, there are still many markets and people who like getting videos. One thing about employing video is you really can solidify your marketing and business connection with your market audience. There is some sort of added social component to it, or it at least could be there. Nevertheless just because you currently have a video recording out on the internet; you still have to utilize some awesome online marketing strategies to help get folks to enjoy your video.

You can even create a greater effect on your market if you have a wide variety of video content. Think about the power or the effect you can build if you involve yourself in your videos. Of course we have all noticed this done, and we do think it has a greater result. Yet, we are all different and some people may merely not want to turn up in videos. So just fully understand that you could be decreasing the overall relationship strengthening ability that is readily available to you. You can almost instantaneously create more and better rapport with your online subscribers if you are in the videos. They get to find out who you are, and they also have a chance to hear your voice, too. That is really excellent stuff to do, and you will forge a stronger relationship with them. Nonetheless just before you produce your own movie; you may really want to do your online keyword research with Market Samurai to be sure that people are shopping for your material .

But video is simply not the cure for anything, and you can definitely make mistakes with it. As an example, we suggest you stay away from the auto-play function for your videos. With that one, merely consider what it is like if you have other sorts of text on the site. It is just an annoying experience when someone is reading and the video commences playing all by itself. Additionally, try to get to the point in your videos without talking about your self too much. It is also fundamental that you let people be able to take advantage of the video controls, so be sure to provide them that capability. Even though video will surely help you improve your business; you should certainly find out how the Se Sniper can easily help you advertise your videos and get plenty of people to watch it.

A Review of Vita Vee’s Ultra Spinnable Minis

Joseph Waters — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 09:04:44 +0000

We know very well how hard it can be to locate reliable information about article marketing, and this can help you get rolling in the right direction. There have been a lot of times when I have wanted to find out more, but I was not all that sure where to look. One of the principal issues with so many people is a lack of trust – totally understandable when you do not know someone. We do realize those feelings very well in our own research on the net. What we will do for you is speak about some solid specifics regarding article marketing, and you will have the ability to have a firm grasp of what to do next.

Content is needed by each and every business, regardless of which market it works within. This content can come in several forms: it can be content that gets used on a website, it could be in the form of a post on a blog, it might be articles that are distributed for article marketing purposes, it might even be in the form of e-books and reports that you give or sell to your clients. Content, particularly on the net, is King. Of course, there are zero guarantees that generating that same content material is even a little bit easy. The basic fact, reported by the majority of business operators, is that content–no matter what style it is–can be really hard to make. That’s the reason why business owners might get great benefit from Vita Vee’s Ultra Spinnable Minis. We will take an extremely close look at this specific program in this article. One of the fantastic things is that you can quickly use a company like unique article wizard article to submit the subject material to.

There are an awful lot of content generation products out there. Most of them are half rate automatons which have been employed to grab content from existing sources. Sometimes they are in the form of spinners that will simply run your primary article through a thesaurus. When you buy Vita Vee’s Ultra Spinnable Minis you don’t have to concern yourself with any of that. Vita Vee solely sends out articles that are authored by human authors.

There are plenty of reasons to choose this service as opposed to hiring a writer, like the fact that it is cheaper. Vita is currently supplying this service for five dollars monthly. Your instinct is likely to be to think “anybody who charges that little must be dispensing crap.” The actual truth here is that the member’s program is still in trial mode. The creator does not think that it is reasonable to request the beta testers to pay full price while there are still bugs to smooth out. This implies that you’ve got the means to get in on the ground floor. You’re in a position to reap some benefits from the beginning. You won’t need to pay very much and you’ll still get articles sent to you each day of the work week.

The truth is the fact that there aren’t any other memberships like this. We looked around and couldn’t find any other memberships online that offer fully unique content, created just for you, that is pre-spun and pre-programmed to work with all of the different spinner softwares out there. The closest thing we can find were membership programs that offered you stolen content. Believe us when we say that’s the last thing you want.

There are loads of items that make this membership worth the price. Our favorite is the fact that every last document is written by a human. The good deal is great as is the extensiveness of the articles. Like any great program creator, Vita Vee offers members lots of bonuses to use with their basic memberships.

It sounds a little bit too good to be true, but we feel comfortable promoting it. Vita is highly respected in the Online marketing community.
