What You Need To Know About Magento: How To SEO E-Commerce Websites

ORLANDO, FLORIDA-Ebay’s promotion of Magento Go is an excellent opportunity for online merchants to explore the SEO benefits the open-source, e-commerce product offers.

According to eCommerce Bytes, an independent news source for online retailers, the users of eBay’s ProStoreswere urged to switch to Magento Go, which eBay acquired last year, in a recent email newsletter from ProStores.

So, what is Magento exactly? And why has eBay turned its back on the older platform? Our operational manager Saeed Khosravi theorizes that eBay has lost interest in promoting ProStores because it is outdated and lacks the required flexibility to become a full-fledged, customizable Internet store.

“Out of the box, Magento Go is very search engine friendly since the open source community version gives you the flexibility to configure your website to perform better on search engines,” he explains.

What You’re Getting
The product is a feature-rich online service that allows entrepreneurs and small businesses to quickly build an online storefront to sell products and services. The main thing the website describes about Magento is the unprecedented flexibility and control over the look, content and functionality of stores that features powerful marketing, search engine optimization and catalog-management tools.

The product may be more flexible than its predecessor, but that doesn’t mean the SEO guidelines change. The rules are the same no matter what platform they are on, says Khosravi. The crucial thing to know is how to apply these rules properly to get the most out of the platform and make the site easy for search engines to interact with.

SEO Tips For The E-Commerce Platform
The biggest SEO benefit of Magento, according to Khosravi, is how out-of-the-box search engine friendly it is. They make many standard SEO techniques easy to implement, which he recommends taking full advantage of right away.

Use the full control they offer over page names, titles, URLs, headings and meta tags for product and category pages as well as CMS pages to optimize each page for your targeted keywords.Search engine optimize the configuration of the site’s HTML head. The elements inside the section of a website can include scripts, provide the browser with the location of style sheets, provide meta information and have tags such as , <base>, <link>, <meta>, <script> and <style>.Set the preferred domain version, for example www instead of non-www, and create an XML site map.Install the product’s free extension, the one that uses a canonical rel link, to eliminate any instances of duplicate content on the site.<P><STRONG>How To SEO To Beat Out Competition</STRONG><BR>No matter which platform companies choose for e-commerce after they implement the SEO basics, our CEO Ali Husayni advises that they stick with targeted writing on a WordPress blog to climb SEO rankings.</P><P>“If you are competing with strong rivals, you can have an advantage over them by simply writing and posting articles on your site’s blog on a regular basis,” <A title="Husayni" href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/blog/seo-is-worthless-without-a-word-press-blog.php">Husayni</A> emphasizes.</P><P>Posting once a month may give smaller businesses that advantage, but the reality is that for most e-commerce sites, even writing once a day may still not be enough. The quantity depends on the market but the quality should remain the same. High-quality content, which means well-written, fresh and relevant articles and press releases, is exactly <A title="what the Google search engine wants" href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/blog/building-a-site-google-loves-writing-great-content-part-1.php">what the Google search engine wants</A>. Consulting with an SEO expert can help determine how often websites need to post to be competitive in their market.</P><P><STRONG>Can A Magento Store Be Integrated Into A WordPress Site?</STRONG><BR>Combining a Magento store and WordPress site is simple to do by installing it on a subdirectory; however, Khosravi says it would be better the other way around with Magento installed on the root directory of the site with WordPress as its sub-directory blog. For merchants looking for the ultimate flexibility for SEO needs, he suggests going with Magento Community Edition, which is the product’s self-hosted option.</P><P>“As a SEO expert I always prefer to go with a self-hosted shopping cart as opposed to hosted solutions,” he says. “It doesn’t limit you in any way and you can custom-make it or configure everything in the way that best suits your SEO needs.”</P><P>Please post your questions here and our team will respond to you.

Master Google’s CEO and SEO expert <a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/ali-husayni.php">Ali Husayni</A> shares that in an ever-changing SEO world, a great team is everything because the game is always changing. On the eve of the Super Bowl, we at Master Google invite you to stay ahead of the game. Husayni shares a few different Super Bowl related analogies to throw around this idea: how creativity and critical analysis join forces to play a big part in any SEO strategy, and in all SEO teams.</P><P>“The Super Bowl is extremely analytical. You have to know exactly who to throw it to, and at one correct speed. It’s precision that comes with a lot of practice with the team, and requires them all to be extremely smart. To win, you have to guarantee that when you throw the ball to the quarter back, it’s going to land in your teammate’s hands,” Husayni says.</P><P>Husayni’s Super Bowl analogies are outlined below, and include the importance of a strong team and persistence.</P><img alt="Super Bowl Survival Illustration" class=" " height="234" src="http://www.abs.smoothlinking.net/SurvivalBanner.jpg" title="Super Bowl Survival Guide" width="468"> Illustration Courtesy of Digboston.com</P><P><STRONG>Know How To Analyze Different Ideas from Your Team</STRONG></P><P>Husayni has advice for the head of any team, which includes knowing how to utilize the different ideas of his team. Husayni analyzes his own managerial style, saying:</P><P>“I can analyze, see a trend and see where it’s headed. What I’m good at is looking at what other people suggest and taking it a step further, combining different ideas to come up with a specific solution to a problem.”</P><P>Every employee has a different perspective, so be sure to listen. After all, the solution to any problem often comes from a combination of ideas.</P><P><STRONG>Be a Team Player by Knowing Your Strengths<BR></STRONG></P><P>It suits the Super Bowl topic well to say that when it comes to launching a successful SEO strategy, you have to be a great team player. Each individual needs to know their area of expertise on the field, and each one needs to be the best at what they do. The combination of this expertise and hard work is what’s going to make the team a winning one, according to Husayni.</P><P>“Each team member we have is an expert in what they do. What they do is going to make the entire process succeed, and let the ball land with Google, with a higher search engine ranking result for our clients,” Husayni says.</P><P><STRONG>Always Strive for Accuracy: There are No Shortcuts for Effective SEO<BR></STRONG></P><P>An accurate team is a winning team, according to Husayni. We can’t control SEO efforts entirely, because just like a football game SEO has fluctuations. You may go forward and then a little bit back. To hit a 10 yard mark, you need to be persistent and be careful not to go back a couple of yards without noticing it. Husayni explains the importance of a team effort when it comes to carrying out a touchdown of an SEO campaign.</P><P>“Before the quarter back throws the ball, the rest of the team needs to protect him. While an SEO strategy is vital, if you aren’t throwing your SEO tactics out at the right speed, you can get red flagged from Google,” Husayni says.</P><P>To avoid an interception from another business on Google’s search results, remember that a lot of what Google does is common sense. Google hates spamming techniques, like <a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/blog/best-seo-practices-black-hat-vs-white-hat-techniques-and-the-gray-hat-area.php">Black Hat SEO</A>. So remember, while it might be tempting to duplicate content or buy links, if you just copy and paste or try to buy your way to the top without hard work, Google will take notice. Don’t risk getting flagged to save a tiny bit of time.</P><P>“Because some SEO companies are always looking for shortcuts, they are also looking for black hat techniques. The client is very happy and then Google changes their algorithm, and the black hat techniques are revealed. Then they hire us.”</P><P>So enjoy the game and remember—it’s all about the team.</P>Popularity: 1%</P> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/02846747944590523867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/02846747944590523867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>BERNADETTE CUNNINGHAM</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/2012/06/super-bowl-xlvi-is-upon-us-how-to-score.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/2012/06/super-bowl-xlvi-is-upon-us-how-to-score.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2012-06-20T18:59:00-07:00'>18:59</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/2012/06/super-bowl-xlvi-is-upon-us-how-to-score.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1893735229'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=4644201777834536050&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=4644201777834536050&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=4644201777834536050&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=4644201777834536050&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=4644201777834536050&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=4644201777834536050&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/search/label/google' rel='tag'>google</a>, <a href='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/search/label/Score' rel='tag'>Score</a>, <a href='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/search/label/Super' rel='tag'>Super</a>, <a href='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/search/label/Touchdown' rel='tag'>Touchdown</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='http://www.abs.smoothlinking.net/6884675718b9e6779509b.jpg' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='2597280322862017464' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='7791818024115263014' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='7791818024115263014'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/2012/06/top-search-engine-terms-of-2011-who-and.html'>Top Search Engine Terms of 2011: Who and What We Looked For</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-7791818024115263014' itemprop='description articleBody'> <P>SANTA MONICA, CA – What do Facebook and Justin Bieber have in common?

Now the best way to further optimize your website for search engines is through new content.</P><img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-3224" height="179" src="http://www.abs.smoothlinking.net/images6.jpg" title="images" width="282"> Courtesy of jezweb.com.au</P><P><a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/blog/building-a-site-google-loves-writing-great-content-part-two.php" title="Google likes fresh content">Google likes fresh content</A>. However, creating new content for your company’s blog can be daunting. You may start with a good list of topics, but once those are exhausted, it can be tough to find other topics to write about.</P><P>Test your knowledge of your industry by making a list of hot-button issues that double as keywords. Those keywords are important. Are they the same keywords that your potential customers are using to search Google?</P><P><STRONG>Use Your Resources</STRONG><BR><a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/blog/how-does-internet-marketing-work.php" title="Internet marketing work">Make Internet marketing work</A> for you by compiling a running list of good industry resources. Medical professionals might subscribe to RSS feeds from medical journals. Learning what’s going on in your field will help you use more timely <a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/keywords-analysis.php" title="SEO keywords">SEO keywords</A>.</P><P>When we say “stay current,” we mean stay fresh. Learn new things. Ask new questions. Search for popular blogs and websites that feature news in your industry. See what other people are writing about. Knowing what the buzz is in your industry does two things.</P><P>First, it allows you to join the current conversation. You’ll know what other businesses like yours are discussing, what methods they’re trying, and what’s working for them. From the number of comments on competing websites you may even be able to gauge how effective certain topics are.</P><P>Second, knowing what people are talking about also tells you what they aren’t talking about. You may see an opportunity to start an important conversation about changes in your industry. Content that is fresh and unique has the potential to attract lots of viewers.</P><P>Comment on articles from your industry that appeal to you. Link to them on your website or social media outlets. You’ll learn a lot by being an active member of the discussion.</P><P><STRONG>Do Your Own Research</STRONG><BR>Imagine you’re a baker, and you’re testing a new cake recipe. We don’t want you to share proprietary information, but sharing your journey developing a new product makes an honest, compelling story. Ask your customers for feedback when they try your new cake. Ask how the new cake compares with another one they’ve sampled. Record how many times the new cake flavor is ordered compared to the old ones. Spice up the name of the cake and see how sales are affected.</P><P>You’re probably doing this anyway, but think of a way to incorporate your journey into a blog post. All the research you do to increase your business is important, and sharing the results you’ve seen could be informative and engaging for customers and other businesses in your industry. Competition can be cutthroat, but gaining contacts in your own industry is a good thing. A friendly rivalry with another local bakery could yield excellent marketing and SEO benefits.</P><P>Remember all the <a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/top-of-google.php" title="Google SEO secrets">Google SEO secrets</A> we’ve shared along the way as you cultivate your content.</P><P><STRONG>Know Your Keywords</STRONG><BR>You should be able to create a list of keywords from all your research. Staying in tune with the industry shifts can pay off. Grab some paper (or open a “note” on your phone) and list 10 keywords that are important to your industry. Bakers might list: “baking a cake, cupcake decorating, wedding cake prices, Dr. Seuss cake, and gluten-free desserts.” Already you’ve got a list of possible blog topics. Within each topic, think of specific things users would want to know about that topic. Pretend you are the one searching for the information on Google. What keyword phrases would you use to find gluten-free desserts? Maybe you’d use: “gluten-free cakes, recipes without gluten, baking without wheat, and flour alternatives.”</P><P>A column by <a href="http://searchengineland.com/author/datatrond" title="Trond Lyngbø">Trond Lyngbø</A> at Search Engine Land <a href="http://searchengineland.com/why-do-search-engines-keyword-research-seo-really-matter-98466" title="discusses the importance of keyword research">discusses the importance of keyword research</A>.</P><P>“Powerful keyword research tools that can help automate and speed up many repetitive processes include Google Keyword Tool, Market Samurai, Google Insights for Search, and Google Trends (that can help reveal seasonal and other trends),” Lyngbø writes. “Analytically reviewing the consolidated data they throw up puts into startling relief many hidden opportunities just waiting to be exploited.”</P><P>Visit the resources mentioned above and see if the keywords you brainstormed have low or high competition.</P><P>Make your blog topics specific. This gives you more opportunities to diversify the content and the keywords within each post appearing on your company’s blog.</P><P>Keeping up with your industry will certainly boost your SEO efforts, but it also will trickle into your everyday work. In the SEO game and in life, there’s always room for improvement.</P>Popularity: 1%</P> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/02846747944590523867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/02846747944590523867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>BERNADETTE CUNNINGHAM</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/2012/06/stay-current-in-your-industry-to.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/2012/06/stay-current-in-your-industry-to.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2012-06-19T11:26:00-07:00'>11:26</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/2012/06/stay-current-in-your-industry-to.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1893735229'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=1101258381443879637&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=1101258381443879637&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=1101258381443879637&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Enjoy!</P>Professional translation services for websites are an important part of maintaining search engine visibility. In addition to allowing potential customers and buyers who speak other languages access your site, good translation is important for ranking high in search engine results. For example, in Google for English-speakers, Korean or Hebrew pages will rank low. Having a translated version of your site available for each language market that you want to target will solve this problem. However, translation for search is about more than just language. Keyword usage and placement have to be correct as well.<STRONG>SEO Translation vs. Standard Translation</STRONG>If you are selecting a translation company to translate a document, your primary focus should be on the skill of the translator. You must ask if the translator has experience in both of the relevant languages, as well as seek references and perhaps examples of prior work. While these attributes are important for selecting a translator for search, they are not the only important considerations. For website translation, you must also seek a company that specializes in search engine optimization and understands the ramifications of different word choices on search engine visibility. A company with specialists in translation as well as specialists in SEO is ideal. Just because a translation is technically correct does not mean that it is a good match for valuable keywords or phrases.<P><STRONG>Locating Translation Services</STRONG></P>The Internet abounds with providers of translation services. To narrow down your choices, select a few websites that have successfully completed translation projects that are similar to your goals for your own website. If your site is in German and you want an English version available, select German sites that have high-ranking English versions of their pages. Another alternative is to hire a translator to complete the translation work, and then an SEO expert to optimize the translated page.  The SEO expert should work primarily in the language to which your site is translated. If you find this to be too expensive, choose a company that bundles translation and optimization services.<P><STRONG>The Difference Between Keyword Translating and Website Translating</STRONG></P>Website translation is necessary for ensuring that all of a site’s textual content is correctly translated into the second language. Keyword translation is more complicated than website translation, because the correct translation of one of your keywords may result in a word that does not rank well in the alternate-language search engine. Alternatively, you might find that if you have several keywords that are all synonyms for the same thing, after translation all of the keywords are identical. If you are working with English, you should be aware that not all languages have the number of synonyms for individual words as English, and you may need to use secondary SEO methods or different phrases to boost your site’s rank after translation.<STRONG>Why Not Use a Translation Tool?</STRONG>Translation tools may seem like a good cost-saving alternative to hiring a qualified and expert translator, but you may find your site suffering from unintended visibility consequences if you use one. Translation software often will not account for words with multiple meanings. Sometimes translation software makes very strange word choices that will be off-putting to readers of the translated page. If your translated text includes nonsense words, Google will likely penalize your site, since often nonsense words appear on spam pages. Most of all, if you use translation software, you will have no way of measuring the quality and accuracy of the finished product.<P><STRONG>Author’s Bio:</STRONG> Thomas Chow is part of the operations team at Servio where he is in-charge of translating web content to help people scale their content strategy development</EM></P><img src="http://www.abs.smoothlinking.net/more.png"> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/02846747944590523867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/02846747944590523867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>BERNADETTE CUNNINGHAM</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/2012/06/website-translation-services-why-do-you.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/2012/06/website-translation-services-why-do-you.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2012-06-17T13:38:00-07:00'>13:38</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/2012/06/website-translation-services-why-do-you.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1893735229'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=8286972436747184852&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=8286972436747184852&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=8286972436747184852&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Now the question is: how can you extend your social media marketing efforts to keep that audience?</P><P>We all have our preferred methods of social media to interact with others, including potential and current clients. Blogging tools such as Tumblr, WordPress, and Blogger give us a place to create content. But where do we share it? I’ve been on the Twitter and Facebook bandwagon for a while, but lately <a href="http://pinterest.com/">Pinterest</A> has really caught my eye. It all started with a big move. See, my husband and I are currently working on our new house – painting walls and replacing fixtures before we move in. Recently, my aunt called me to inform me of something she saw on Pinterest. It was a cute photo of a man and a woman who painted a heart on their wall before they started painting their first home. She told me to check her pin board and see the photo.</P><img alt="" class=" " height="267" src="http://www.abs.smoothlinking.net/Womanpaintingheartonwallinroomwithmanpe0004316.jpg" title="Man and Woman Painting on a Wall" width="345"> Photo Courtesy of VisualPhotos.com.</P><P>Pinterest, the virtual pin board to both bookmark and organize cool things you’ve found online, is gaining popularity quickly. It’s easy to use, it has a simple, dynamic layout, and it’s highly visual. People love it, and this report can back up all the hype.</P><P><STRONG>Pinterest Drives Traffic:</STRONG> Pinterest wiggled its way up the <a href="http://www.searchenginejournal.com/pinterest-referral-traffic/39694/shareaholic-pinterest-referral-data/">January 2012 Referral Traffic Report</A>. This chart shows that for December 2011, Pinterest was responsible for 2.5% of total referral traffic. In January, that figure rose to 3.6%. In July of 2011, Search Engine Journal reports that Pinterest had only 0.17% total referral traffic.</P><P>For a reference, Facebook held 26.4% of total referral traffic in January. StumbleUpon came in second with 5.07%, and Google and Twitter took the third and fourth spots with 3.62% and 3.61% respectively. Ranking under Pinterest in total link referrals for January are LinkedIn, YouTube, and Google+.</P><P>I know from first-hand experience that this virtual pin board is insanely popular. Sometimes when I want to pin something, Pinterest is over capacity. It’s like when you really want to tweet something clever, but you see that fat whale on the screen. You’ll have to wait!</P><P><STRONG>Are you Pinning?</STRONG> The coolest part about Pinterest is that you can create multiple boards and title them as you choose. You can also select a category for each board with a handy drop-down menu. (Hello, keywords!) So, what should you pin? Pin what you do; pin what you like. Solely pinning your own content doesn’t allow your boards to grow organically. Pin things you like, things that inspire your business, and </EM>things you’ve created. That way users will choose to follow your boards, potentially re-pinning your pins and sharing the link-love.</P><P>Get creative. If your company sells tires, you could create blog content on tire care tips or how to change a flat. If you make letterpress wedding invitations, pin images from your past designs and other designers you like. Informative pins, such as “how to” or “DIY” do especially well on Pinterest.</P><P>Pinterest user Laura Scott-Davis has <a href="http://pinterest.com/loulouxx88/seo/">a board dedicated to SEO</A> and so does <a href="http://pinterest.com/patinamarketing/seo/">Patina Marketing</A>. As you can see, graphics hit hard on Pinterest – it’s all about the visuals.</P><P><STRONG>Use Photos:</STRONG> If your blog content is compelling and informative, people will find it, especially if it’s optimized for search engines. By including a photo (<a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/blog/what-every-business-should-know-about-image-seo.php">also optimized for search engines</A>) with each blog post or web page, users can see a visual pairing to the content. Make sure your images are relevant, of course.</P><P><STRONG>Make it Easy:</STRONG> Adding a “pin it” button to your content makes it ridiculously easy for users on your blog to add your content to desired pin boards. <a href="http://pinterest.com/about/goodies/">Here’s how you can get a button.</A> Once your button is added, users can share your content with a simple click. (Users can manually add a pin to their pin boards, but embedding a “pin it” button will allow seamless content sharing.)</P><P>Now your content shows up on their board, and every Pinterest user that follows that board can now see your content and </EM>they have the option of “re-pinning” your content to their boards. The more users that re-pin your content, the more people have the opportunity to view your content and click the link, driving hits to your website.</P><P>While Facebook is a place where friends can chat, share personal photos, and connect with each other, Pinterest has a stronger niche for link sharing, especially in the Do-It-Yourself community.</P><P>A strong SEO campaign will drive folks to your website. Pinterest allows those users to virally spread your content through their followers.</P><P>As Master Google CEO and SEO expert <a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/blog/google-seo-simplified-part-iii-popularity.php">Ali Husayni</A> says:</P><P>“You cannot just sit and wait for others to link their sites to yours. That simply won’t happen.”</P><P>Don’t be afraid to share your content. Giving your customers easy ways to link to your content, through Pinterest or Facebook or Google+ can only work in your favor.

Increasingly, SEO experts agree that a focus on online videos does wonders to increase site traffic.</P><br /><P>“A video result in position 4 or 5 may get a better CTR [click-through rate] than a non-video result in position 2 or 3,” claims Dave Holland, co-founder of Smart Video, a SEO provider specializing in video optimization. A thumbnail of the video next to your Google search result instantly draws the eye of the viewer, enticing them to make that ‘click.’</P><br /><P>And is it any wonder that, in today’s YouTube age, people are eager for video results? Every <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=How+to+make+chocolate+cake&oq=How+to+make+chocolate+cake&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=77747l80894l0l81049l26l14l0l1l1l0l305l900l2.3.0.1l6l0">inquiry</A>, from how to make chocolate cake, to how to turn your furnace pilot light on, has been converted to short, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=furnace+pilot+light&oq=furnace+pilot+light&aq=f&aqi=g4g-m6&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=50687l53222l0l53347l19l16l0l1l1l1l240l2214l1.9.4l14l0">easy-to-read snippets</A>. For literally every type of business, there are relevant video companions that can be embedded into your website. Are you a local veterinarian? Try featuring an adorable pet video on your site. After all, nothing draws an online crowd quicker than <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k_LZbS5oig">cute cats</A>.</P><br /><P>But do not just rely on linking to someone’s work. The best way to maximize your social media marketing and video SEO is to produce original content. Create a YouTube page and start uploading! Check out YouTube’s tips on how to make a great first impression for your channel. Video searches will increase YouTube page hits, which will then lead viewers straight to your homepage.</P><br /><P>Though building a YouTube business channel is relatively simple, not everyone has the time or know-how to operate the site themselves—let alone actually produce the videos. This is why companies that specialize in SMM and SEO are vital assets to small business success. Along with Twitter, Facebook and the usual social media suspects, a user-friendly, informative YouTube channel creates the exposure necessary to remain on the surface-level amidst a sea of Google search results, instead of drowning on page 100.</P><br /><P>With that extra online marketing money your company has saved up, you can follow the example of Best Buy, T-Mobile and Hot Wheels, who hired video content professionals to make their YouTube videos for them. Think hip, clever viral video meets online commercial, funneling thousands of viewers to company sites—successful Internet marketing in the hands of experts for less than the price of a billboard!</P><br /><P>Perhaps the greatest advantage to creating original videos is the opportunity to go viral and all the fame that comes along with it. You may not recognize the name Tom Dickson, but if you’ve ever wondered whether that iPad you’re holding will blend, he is the only guy in the world to ask.</P><br /><P>Going viral is rare, but you don’t need 20 million hits to be successful; video content always helps brand recognition and business credibility. Consistently uploading videos, acquiring a loyal fan base and placing expert talent at the helm will increase the traffic, integrity and ultimately the bottom line of any business.</P><br /><P>© 2011 Master Google.

However, recently we’ve come across new clients who are reluctant to have a blog hosted on their site. We tell these clients not to waste their time and money on SEO, and there are many reasons why blogs are vital to optimal SEO.</P><P>Let’s start with the basics of why search engines were built: because text existed on the Internet in an unorganized fashion. Search engine spiders indexed, organized and provided the text in an easy-to-use format for their users. Google rates and ranks sites based on three important factors: <a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/blog/google-seo-simplified-part-i-content.php">content</A>, <a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/blog/google-seo-simplified-part-ii-relevancy.php">relevancy</A> and <a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/blog/google-seo-simplified-part-iii-popularity.php">popularity</A>.</P><P>We have said before that <a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/blog/how-and-why-to-produce-quality-content-for-better-seo-results.php">content is king</A> when it comes to SEO. After all, Google feeds and survives on content. Google also loves sites that feed it more quality content on a regular basis. <a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/blog/embedded-blogs-are-an-integral-aspect-of-seo.php">As we explained before</A>, a WordPress blog is the best platform for SEO.</P><img alt="Seo WordPress Graphic" class=" " height="163" src="http://www.abs.smoothlinking.net/wordpress-seo.jpg" title="SEO Graphic" width="362"> Graphic Courtesy of Dpk-GraphicDesign.com</P><P>If you are competing with strong rivals, you can have an advantage over them by simply writing and posting articles on your site’s blog on a regular basis. “Regular basis” is a loose term – for some smaller businesses, writing once a month gives you that advantage. But the reality is that for most e-commerce sites, writing once a day may still not be enough. So, depending on your market, you need to decide how often you want to write.</P><P>No matter how often you post, always remember the most important factor for more SEO success: stick to your strategy and continue at it for at least six months to see the results. In the meantime, here are some of the most common areas of a blog that I am asked to explain to my clients.</P><P><STRONG>Why Can’t I Use My Off-Site Blog?</STRONG></P><P>You may have a blog that is hosted on blogger: example.blogger.com. Whatever you write and post on this blog will not affect your main site: www.example.com. Remember, your goal should be to show Google that www.example.com is being updated on a regular basis. Thus, your blog needs to be hosted on your site: www.example.com/blog/.</P><P><STRONG>Why Do I Need A WordPress Blog?</STRONG></P><P>There are many blog templates you can integrate with your site, but through our research and experience we have concluded that WordPress is the best for this purpose. Here are some reasons:</P><P><STRONG>WordPress Easily Allows for Skin Changes</STRONG></P><P>You can conveniently design and tweak the look of your blog with WordPress. You do need to know web-development to do so, but they provide you with all the tools you need. So, your blog will look like a page of your site.</P><P>Because WordPress is the most popular blog CMS, it has many users and many web developers behind it. Thus, you have a huge pool of free WordPress templates to use, as well as lots of plugins. Also, any time you get stuck on something, you can use the many forums on the topic to ask your question. It is also very likely that your question has already been answered by an expert, just look for your topic and search.</P><P><STRONG>WordPress Allows for Permalinks</STRONG></P><P>Permalinks are a great relevancy tool we use to optimize our clients’ sites. Keyword-rich permalinks help your page rank well for your intended keywords. WordPress allows you to easily edit your page’s URL using permalinks.</P><P>Here is an example of a keywords-rich permalink:<a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/blog/facebook-and-seo-how-facebook-can-help-your-business.php"> http://www.mastergoogle.com/blog/facebook-and-seo-how-facebook-can-help-your-business.php</A>.</P><P><STRONG>WordPress Allows for Meta Tag Optimization</STRONG></P><P>This is also important. You can write a separate title, description and keywords tags for each of your blog posts.</P><P><STRONG>Google Loves WordPress “Tags”</STRONG></P><P>You can give each post specific “tags” that are basically keywords related to the post (not to be confused with meta tags, which are part of the header code). WordPress creates a specific page for each tag and will group all the posts that have the same tags under it. The URL of this page also includes the tag: <a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/blog/tag/google-seo">http://www.mastergoogle.com/blog/tag/google-seo</A>.</P><P>Tag pages rank very well on Google search results because all the content under the tag page are related to the tag keyword.</P><P><STRONG>Using the Blog Feed on Other Pages</STRONG></P><P>Your WordPress Blog Feed could be used on any page of your site.

Who to hire, what to focus on, when to transition, where to begin and how to measure success are all questions that need answers.</P><P>Ali Husayni, the founder of the SEO consulting firm Master Google, helps businesses find those answers and establish their SEO teams while minimizing their risks and maximizing their return on investment.</P><P>“Putting together an in-house SEO program does not have to be a bumpy ride,” Husayni says. “Using an SEO consultant to get the team up and running makes the process smoother and faster, and you are much more likely to get effective SEO from the beginning.”</P><P><STRONG>Getting Started</STRONG></P><P>Before doing anything else, a business that wants to set up an SEO program has to research their market. Finding out who the competition is and how stiff it is helps with the next step of making a plan and budget.  After all, a business needs to ask questions, and lots of them.</P><P>The first questions to ask revolve around a business’s target market. Things to consider are varied, but of equal importance. For instance, how competitive is the market? How much investment is needed in marketing to stay competitive? How much effort is it going to take to rank within the top three? Top five? On the first page of Google search results?</P><P>After market goals are set, naturally businesses progress to questions about the goals for SEO. What will SEO accomplish for the company? How does the team know it is making progress? How will return on investment be measured? What strategies are in place to convert onsite visitors to sales?</P><P>While researching the market, read articles and news about the industry in general to learn the latest trends and happenings. After all. they will be affecting the SEO team the company is trying to establish.</P><P>In a <a href="http://smartblogs.com/socialmedia/2011/08/09/getting-started-with-in-house-seo-a-q-and-a-with-aols-simon-heseltine/">recent article by SmartBlog</A>, Simon Heseltine, AOL’s Director of Search Engine Optimization, recommends using sites like <a href="http://searchenginewatch.com/">SearchEngineWatch</A>, an online resource for news and articles on SEO, PPC and Social Media.</P><P>“The SEO community is also very active on Twitter, Google+, etc.  Follow as many as you can, listen and participate, you’ll find articles and news that you may otherwise have missed,” Heseltine says.</P><P>While a consultant will be the most efficient and helpful, Husayni says that <a href="http://seomoz.com/">SEOMoz.org</A>, <a href="http://searchengineland.com/">Search Engine Land</A> and <a href="about:www.mattcutts.com/blog/">Matt Cutts’ blog</A> (Cutts is the head of Google’s Webspam team), are all wise choices for resources to read up on.</P><P>“A consultant creates a customized strategy and roadmap for setting up the company’s in-house SEO,” says Husayni. “Then the team receives training and is guided through the process of fully integrating SEO into the dynamics of the organization, daily workflow and politics.”</P><P>Drawing up a realistic budget that takes into account the resources that will be needed is made simple by using the information gathered from the research about competition, the market, and the company’s SEO goals. Typically, two separate budgets work the best — one for labor, the other for promotional expenses, which included directory listings and press release submissions.</P><P><STRONG>Decide On A Framework</STRONG></P><P>The research should give plenty of information to work with for the next step of creating a framework for the team, though opinions often differ on how many team members are needed. There is no right or wrong answer because each company has specific needs and a certain budget. Some companies want part-time employees, some want full-time. Some want a one-person show, while other companies might choose to hire separate people for positions including tech, writers, a public relations specialist, researcher, and a number of other openings.</P><P>Bob Tripathi, an internet marketing business expert and SearchEngineWatch.com blogger, insists that passion can make up for lack of manpower in <a href="http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2104352/Creating-an-In-House-Search-Marketing-Center-of-Excellence">a recent blog post</A>. “Much can be accomplished in a small to medium company by even an army of one,” says Tripathi.</P><P>Husayni agrees that a well-rounded SEO professional can accomplish a lot. However, he says, a person who both knows the technical aspects of SEO and is an effective writer is a rare jewel, which is why Husayni recommends one of each.</P><P><STRONG>Assembling The Team Member (Or Members)</STRONG></P><P>Now that the company knows what they are looking for, and how much they have to spend, they can start hiring the team. But what makes a good SEO expert? Businesses want people that are capable of running a full-fledged SEO campaign and running it well.</P><P>According to Husayni, the best way to determine that is to look at the applicant’s track record by asking them questions and scrutinizing samples of his or her work.</P><P>An SEO expert will have, at the very least, a proficiency in (X)HTML, on-site and off-site optimization, Java Script, WordPress and link building. They will also have examples of their successes. Questions about a hypothetical website can reveal gaps in knowledge or confirm the skills listed on the resume:</P>What’s the most important factor in optimizing a site?What are three important things you change in a site when first optimizing it?What are the top three optimization mistakes an SEO guy can make?How do you plan to increase link popularity?How do you keep up with the changes in the SEO world?<P>Getting a good idea of an SEO writer’s track record, on the other hand, is just as important. This person will be developing content for the website and producing articles and press releases that act as the voice of the company. Copy that is easy to read and free of grammar and spelling errors is essential.</P><P>A writer needs to know how to create fresh, relevant content that incorporates the company’s keywords. Of course, the well-written information has to be put out there for the target demographic to find, so a writer that already knows industry leaders and ways to generate in-bound and out-bound links through content is a big plus.</P><P>“The big caveat here is when people know the right questions to ask but are not sure if the answers are correct or good ones,” says Husayni. A consultant can quickly assess whether a candidate is capable of managing an SEO campaign and getting results.</P><P>People who are looking for a general guide or description of characteristics an in-house SEO needs can check out a summary by Tribathi in a <a href="http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2117184/9-Characteristics-of-an-In-House-SEO">recent blog post</A>.</P><P><STRONG>Put In The Time And Be Patient</STRONG></P><P>Time is often the biggest concern for businesses starting up an SEO program. They are impatient to get things up and running, and they want to get to the results part right away. But it takes time to hammer out logistics. It takes time to find and hire quality professionals. It also takes time to get results. The main thing to keep in mind is being able to trust each service provider, because one bad egg could potentially harm the marketing campaign.</P><P>“Each site claims it holds the mantle of SEO and is the expert on the subject, but only a few sites can be trusted,” says Husayni.</P><P>He recommends allotting one to two months for the hiring and training period since a hands-on and web-savvy individual typically needs about six-ten hours of coaching to understand the basics of best SEO practices.</P><P>“Hiring the wrong SEO team, or hiring the right team but not training them, means the company may lose its edge over the competition,” says Husayni. “Hiring a consultant or coach will save months and possibly years of headache.”</P><P><STRONG>In-House SEO Success</STRONG></P><P>Now, for the answer everyone is waiting for: when will the company see results?</P><P>Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. The length of time it takes to see results varies based on the SEO team, the market, the budget and the website. To put that in more concrete terms, businesses that outsource to Master Google can expect SEO performance </EM>to steadily improve over two to three months; optimal results usually take six months to a year.</P><P>In-house SEO is worth doing, which means it is worth doing well. The initial setup may be time-consuming, but with a clear SEO strategy, and patience, it is definitely worth doing.</P><P>© 2011 Master Google.

How can a company like Automattic make money if they are giving away all their products (including WordPress) for free? Someone asked this question to WordPress founder Matt at WordCamp India and he surprised, at least some of us, by saying that Automatic is profitable.Here’s how WordPress makes money according to the creator himself:1. Blog Hosting – WordPress offers blog hosting services at $500 per month to big publishers like Om Malik Kajab, All Things D and CNN’s Political Ticker among others. They use WordPress.com’s server infrastructure to host your blog and therefore the performance will obviously be great but unlike other web hosting services, WordPress VIP Hosting doesn’t accept everyone who applies so good luck.2. Google AdSense – Free blogs hosted on WordPress.com may sometimes carry Google ads but these ads may only appear if all the following three conditions are met:1. The visitor is not using Firefox browser.2. He has logged out of his WordPress account, if he has one.3. The referring source is not a WordPress powered blog. So a person reaching abc.wordpress.com from xyz.wordpress.com won’t see any Google Ads.Even with all these conditions, the revenue generated from serving Google AdSense ads on WordPress.com hosted blog may still be significant as do around a billion page views per month. 3. Automattic Kismet – You don’t see Viagra spam in your blog posts because it all gets filtered automatically by Automattic Kismet (Akismet for short), the excellent spam protection plug-in available for WordPress. Now Akismet spam catching technology is free for personal blogs but if you maintain a corporate blog or run a network of blogs, you are required to buy a commercial license of Akismet that starts at around $50 per month. What may surprise you is that professional bloggers, or anyone who is making more than $500 per month in advertising revenue from a <a href="http://www.vibrationspeakers.co.uk/">vibration speaker </A>WordPress blog, also needs to pay a $5 per month fee for the Akismet license. 4. Premium Accounts – While anyone can host a blog on WordPress.com for free, they charge you a fee <a href="http://www.vibrationspeakers.co.uk/">iphone speaker </A>if you want to buy additional storage space for your multimedia files or want to use a custom web domain instead of the default wordpress.com sub-domain. These are premium features.There’s also (unconfirmed) talk that WordPress may soon allow users to add AdSense in their free blogs for a subscription fee. 5. Web Host Referrals – WordPress.org suggests of list of third-party web hosting companies where you may self-host your WordPress blog(s) for a fee. Now all these are referral links so Automattic gets a commission per sale.In fact, this hosting referral system may be extremely profitable for Automattic because if you search for “WordPress Hosting” on Google (a very competitive keyword phrase), the first sponsored link on the Google results page is paid by WordPress itself and it says – “Top 5 WordPress Web Hosts – Chosen by the developers of the WordPress blogging software”.6. WordPress Support – If you need help with WordPress (or WordPress MU) but the free support forums aren’t solving the purpose, consider subscribing to the Support Network of Automattic. The WordPress development team will help you solve problems related to your WordPress system and the response time can be as low as 6 hours. This service is primarily for Enterprise users who are willing to shell out a $2.5-5k per year for support.7. Poll Daddy – I am not sure if Matt discussed this but Automattic also provides a paid version of Poll Daddy where you can have unlimited number of questions per survey and there’s no Poll Daddy branding in your polls or surveys.I haven’t allowed myself the luxury of sitting down to write a decent post in me for some time, so this feels good.Especially because it’s one of those ‘James comes out on top at the end’ posts, which is always nice to share – and it’s also a topic very close to my heart- making WordPress MU work in terms of revenue, and specifically, where Edublogs is concerned (although I’ll also make fairly frequent reference to WordPress.com too).Now, to start off I should note that Edublogs (a WordPress MU site for education) was started off not as a business but to meet the practical <a href="http://www.satellitephonesdirect.com.au/">satellite phone </A>purposes of providing blogs to academics via a simpler approach than individual WordPress installs. It also wasn’t started off buy a business-person, it was started off by a lecturer in education design (me) without even the merest whiff of funding and on a $7 p/month hosting plan.Now, almost 4 years later, it’s one of the largest blog hosting sites on the web, employs multiple staff, runs on hosting that costs upwards of AU$10k per month and, most importantly, is a sustainable (and growing) business.How did we do this?Well, by mucho trial and error, I can tell you – there’s almost not a single revenue model we haven’t tried – and some have worked, some have worked (a bit) and some have been abject failures – here they are, in reverse order of success – with our experience tied in to each.Donations I have a personal objection to donations, and I think contemplated it once and quickly put it away – I mean, why should anyone donate to you as opposed to , say, Oxfam – and if they did, what would they be getting out of it (as opposed to, say, sponsoring a child)? It sucks, you’ll hardly get any, and it’s basically begging.Works for Wikipedia because they are one of the largest websites in the world and provide something of intrinsic value that a lot of people use all the time – won’t work for you. Sorry. Sponsorship Our first semi-successful model, we wanted to cover our burgeoning hosting costs so we reached out and a small independent ed tech company in the UK gave us $3000 for a years worth of advertising and to integrate with their site for users… I reckon they got a good deal <img alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" src="http://www.abs.smoothlinking.net/iconsmile.gif"> The key to this one is that it isn’t advertising – it’s finding a partner who’ll enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship with you, and as such is a great way to build your site and exposure, but perhaps not the greatest way to try and make a lot of money unless you’re starting from a position of some serious strength (and how many of us start like that eh?)AdvertisingAnother one of the semi-successful models. But, as an online editor at theage.com.au I found out the secret to advertising – are you ready?… drum roll …Be a big, established, successful media company – or, at the very least, be a magazine that’s being started by one or an experience big media exec with a few mil backing. Or be Darren Rowse  Or, really really clever while at the same time being wordpress.com (read on for that bit).Other than that advertising for the rest of us is at best semi-rewarding and at worst hardly <a href="http://www.vibrationspeakers.co.uk/">ipod speaker </A>even coffee money.But that’s not to say that there aren’t great ways of doing it.For example, we started showing ads using the brilliant adapted Who Sees Ads for WPMU plugin – which essentially allows you to place ads across themes and then determine, with site-wide rules, how they are displayed.This is how WordPress.com show ads, and it’s utterly brilliant, with only one drawback. You need to be absolutely huge for it to work, for example, Edublogs does just over a million uniques a month and that *simply isn’t enough* – by my calculations you’d need at least 3-5 million before you started covering your hosting costs, 10 million before you start drawing a nice wage and 20 to be a viable company – and also have some sway with your Adsense eCPM and custom ad units (using this method alone). Luckily for wp.com they have 266 million and it’s far from their sole revenue gismo play source… nice work guys And, while we no longer use this approach (I’ll get on to how we much more effectively use advertising at the end), it’s also a great way to display all sorts of other things across your network – but that’s by the by, let’s keep<a href="http://www.satellitephonesdirect.com.au/satellite-phones/isatphone-pro"> satellite phones </A>on thinking about the MONEY!Selling Something ElseYep, it’s quite simple, you offer a great, free, maybe even advertising free, site in the hope to shift some other product… for example, pets goods (for pet blogs).And this can really really work! For Edublogs pubrewards we’ve been selling for the last 2 years Edublogs Campus – basically a hosted standalone version of Edublogs for individual schools and it’s done really well. Had we been selling school IT resources, textbooks or something else –  I think that might have worked well too.Sure, you have to take into account that you are going to be selling to a particular crowd – but you can also turn them into affiliate sellers for you, and use their technical skills to your advantage (they are most likely gonna be pretty techie broadcasters) – in fact you can even get them to send out email invites (via imported web mail address books – anyone say ‘<a href="http://smoothlinking.net/openx/www/delivery/ck.php?oaparams=2__bannerid=56__zoneid=40__cb=68c9b04efc__oadest=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tweetadder.com%2Fidevaffiliate%2Fidevaffiliate.php%3Fid%3D15627_0_1_7">Twitter</a>’…) to sell whatever it is that you are offering.So this one get a thumbs up from me.UpgradesWe’re almost there, because this can be an extremely successful revenue stream in its own right.However, it’s got to be used wisely, and the most important thing to remember is that people won’t pay for stuff they don’t want or need – so, don’t go offering them the icing when you could be offering them the cake (if that makes any sense).Let’s take wordpress.com for example – now they were really keen on early adopters and so the CSS editing upgrade made perfect sense early on (I have no idea how successful these were by the way), but they also have some excellent and very clever tricks up their sleeves – for example – you may have a gazillion GB already as upload space but you can’t upload anything beyond a large picture to it unless you purchase the extra space upgrade… clever, being able to upload podcasts, videos and alike is definitely the cake.And now let’s take Edublogs, we offered a whole stack of cool extra features, <a href="http://smoothlinking.net/openx/www/delivery/ck.php?oaparams=2__bannerid=56__zoneid=40__cb=68c9b04efc__oadest=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tweetadder.com%2Fidevaffiliate%2Fidevaffiliate.php%3Fid%3D15627_0_1_7">twitter</a> integration, more plugins, extra storage, respect, cool badges and more… we simply set it up using our simple custom Upgrades (with PayPal integration) plugin…. it worked brilliantly… and it so failed it wasn’t funny.You see we already allowed people to upload what they wanted. And already gave them heaps of cool plugins. And they could do all sorts of cool stuff regardless. Hardly anyone signed up, and those that did – I suspect – did mostly out of the kindness of their hearts.FAIL. Indeed.But, all was not lost, because this whole cake thing occurred to me and I got myself thinking about a great game I used to play back in the day called Hattrick…SupporterNow, Hattrick is a football management game, and its free, but you can sign up to be a Supporter and OMG it’s cakelicious (ok, will stop the cake stuff now).You get to see the faces of your players, extra tactical tools, a star next to your name (means a big deal in a site which is also a social networking setup as much as anything else) and all sorts of other great stuff. The game itself is completely free to play, but I understand that a goodly % of users sign up to be a supporter after a bit (or gift it to each other) – and, as there are almost a million players, and being a Supporter isn’t that cheap (something like $50 annually), they do pretty well!!!So, moving onto WPMU, let’s forget the ‘upgrades’ bit of things – let’s make it much simpler; free users get x / Supporters (or whatever you want to call it) get y.And lets say x = ads on their site / no access to plugins / no acccess to other extra features / reduced storage space etc.And lets say y = no ads / masses of plugins / other great features / 5GB space / nice badge etc. etc.Well, that’s what we’ve done. And it works. A lot.And even better – you can do it too, we’ve released the Supporter plugin over at WPMU DEV Premium (so you get priority support / upgrades and general goodness as well).Put simply, you can use this plugin to create your own Typepad, or Squarespace or a premium blogging platform that allows users to do (and receive) so much more than they would for a free blog – or from a free blogging site like blogger or wp.com.Hook it into Supporter only personal support, add extra features to your site that are supporter only, set them up with free classifieds, generally give them some serious loving… either way, your business model just started looking a great deal healthier!Or, go one step beyond what we do and just restrict absolutely critical ingredients, like ‘Write Post’ to Supporter only – that way you can give new users 14 days free, and then shut them down until they pay (just like Typepad. The best thing is they get to log in and see the entire site and backend, but not use it until they’ve paid.Did I mention we’ve included a special plugin with the supporter pack that does just that for you)And did I mention it’s all based on PayPal subscriptions not single payments – unless you want it to be… now I don’t need to explain why that’s better do I?And that’s where we’re at now, and I’m sure things’ll change again in the future, but I gotta say I’m pretty happy with the present. And, at the present, revenues are is where it is at.Have I messed any revenue approaches you have tried? Do you completely agree or disagree with any of the above?

If I’m selling kids shoes online and only 100 people search for it on Google, then most probably I’m not going to succeed – even if my site is ranked at the top. I’ll be lucky if 10 people out of those 100 buy my shoes.</P><br /><P>To know how many people search for a specific keyword, there are many tools available. But the most trustworthy one is <a href="https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal">Google’s Adwords Keyword Selector Tool</A>. Because it is pulling the data from its search engine.</P><br /><P>In the SEO community, it is common knowledge that Google’s Adwords traffic estimation tool is at best inaccurate. But no one really knows how Google measures these numbers. According to Google, it is “averaging” each month’s search volume across its search engine platforms. But for a long time I’ve been suspicious that these numbers are not real. So, finally I decided to conduct a test.</P><br /><P>I selected six websites that we have access to their Analytics data and are ranking within the top five positions on Google search results – world-wide – for somewhat competitive keywords. The tables below illustrates my findings.</P><br /><P>The first table are the keywords in Exact format. Which means we’re only looking at Google’s traffic for these keywords when the exact phrase is searched for as well as the traffic for the same keyword:</P><br /><P><img alt="" class="aligncenter" src="http://www.abs.smoothlinking.net/Top-Five-Ranking-Traffic-Exact.png" title="Top-Five-Ranking-Traffic-Exact"></P><br /><P>The following table are for the same keywords but this time using the “Phrase” selection. In other words, the searcher could have used the same phrase in conjunction with other words:</P><br /><P><img alt="" class="aligncenter" src="http://www.abs.smoothlinking.net/Top-Five-Ranking-Traffic-Phrase.png" title="Top-Five-Ranking-Traffic-Phrase"></P><br /><P>As you see the number of people visiting the site is much less than the number of monthly search volume (Traffic Estimate) regardless of whether we searched for “Phrase” or “Exact” keywords.</P><br /><P>It is less likely that less than 10% of those searching for any given search querry are going to visit the top ranking sites.</P><br /><P><STRONG>Therefore, my conclusion is that the Traffic Estimate is blown out of proportion. </STRONG></P><br /><P>But by how much?</P><br /><P>Looking at the numbers, we can say that these numbers are blown out of proportion by 3 times and up to 100 times depending on the search query.</P><br /><P><STRONG>Where is the success in SEO?</STRONG></P><br /><P>Another important factor is that we’re able to generate a few times more traffic to our clients’ sites than the total search volume for their main keyword(s). For example, doctorjennifer.com’s main keyword is Minneapolis Orthodontist. But this keyword only receives 58 searches each month (if that was accurate). On the other hand, the site is receiving over 1,000 hits through organic search results. The reason is that we are not just focusing on the MAIN keyword. We work on a pool of different keywords related to each site/business. Doctorjennifer.com for instance has over 100 keywords we’re targeting.</P><br /><P>For those clients that care very much for having that top ranking placement on Google for their main keyword I have to say that that is not so important compared to being ranked for many of their keywords that may not be as popular.</P><br /><P>In other words if our client is not ranking at the top for Minneapolis Orthodontist, they’re just losing a very small fraction of the search volume; however, there are 50 other keywords (Minneapolis Children Orthodontist, St. Paul Invisalign, Best Orthodontist in Eagan, etc.) that the client has a top five ranking. The site is going to get traffic and business from Google generated through secondary keywords.</P><br /><P>We measure our success by the number of targeted visitors who find our clients’ sites using their keywords – main keywords as well as secondary keywords.</P><br /><P></P> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/02846747944590523867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/02846747944590523867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>BERNADETTE CUNNINGHAM</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/2012/06/analyzing-google-adwords-keyword_15.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/2012/06/analyzing-google-adwords-keyword_15.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2012-06-15T00:16:00-07:00'>00:16</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/2012/06/analyzing-google-adwords-keyword_15.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1893735229'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=147650747370349338&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=147650747370349338&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=147650747370349338&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

I learned fast after manually optimizing my first website that there had to be an easier and more importantly - a faster way do do this. The key to making any money at all on the web is that you have to have websites optimized for Google and receiving free Google traffic. You also have to have a lot of websites. Don't kid yourself when you see all those screenshots showing people making $600 a day with adsense. Most sites are lucky to pull in a dollar or two a day. If someone is making $600 a day then they probably have 600 websites making a buck a day each. <br /> <br /> <object allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/VBAJgksyhxo&hl=en&fs=1" style="height: 350px; width: 425px;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><br />><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VBAJgksyhxo&hl=en&fs=1"/> <br />></object><br /> <br /> This means that to make money online you have to have a lot of sites (Blogs) and they all have to be properly optimized for Google. Once this is done you have to collect a lot of links to your site from well ranked and compatable websites. How do you find these sites? You compile a list of who links to the top ranking competitors and then get the same links for yourself. <br /> <br /> This is alot of work for just one site never mind doing it for hundreds of sites. Thankfully there are lots of software tools available to make these processes automated. <br /> I have tried a few and find that they all do pretty much the same thing to varying degrees. Essentially the software will compile all your lists for you: <br /> Which websites link to you <br /> The number of websites linking to you <br /> The Google page rank of the website linking to you <br /> The page title of the website linking to you <br /> The anchor text used in the link linking to you <br /> The number and type of links linking to the website that's linking to you. <br /> The number of outbound links on the website that is linking to you <br /> The total number of links on the website that is linking to you <br /> Whether or not the websites linking to you are deemed by Google as an authority website. <br /> You can also get all the same info about a competitors site. (very important as you want to copy the top ranked sites in your keyword niches)<br /> The software can also automatically set up link pages and an email campaign for link requests. <br /> Ultimately these programs take care of all the tedious tasks at a fraction of the time which allows you to get your sites up and optimized quickly. As these programs are tools and not get rich quick scams you are relatively safe in getting what you order. Google "SEO Programs" and you will find a long list of such tools - I ended up buying SEOelite for the simple reason that it was number one on the Google search for that keyword. My thinking was that any program that claimed it could optimize my website to get a number 1 ranking on Google should be able to get a number 1 ranking for it's own website. SEOelite meets that criteria - its number 1. <br /> The program is by Brad Callen and while not as expensive as others in the field it has proven to be a great choice. The software has been upgraded (for free) several times a month - bug fixes as well as new components - and it works fairly well. How well - I got this blog indexed on Google in less than a week and rank 3 for "hypervre scam" - not one of my intended keywords but traffic is traffic and google is sending 6 or so people a day to this site. (That is amazingly fast considering this blog didn't exist 3 weeks ago) That's not bad and to top it off I have made a whopping 41 cents so far - don't laugh because if I had 1000 sites doing that I would be making some decent money. I have used SEOelite for all my sites and every site now has some keywords ranking on Google and getting me traffic. <br /> Since this program has worked out so well I haven't tried any of the competitors products but if you have some opinions on the competition please leave some comments for us all. <br /> You can check out <a href="http://871d5sqduk0fnp0-4my1v-fr3o.hop.clickbank.net/" rel="nofollow" target="_new">SEO Elite Here!</a> <br /> Note for the skeptics <br /> If you are wondering how well this software works just check out my blog http://makemoneyforbeginners.blogspot.com - my first post was December 23, 2006 and today is Jan 8, 2007. It was indexed by Google on Dec 31, 2006 and ranks 3 for a keyword already. <br /> Type "site:http://makemoneyforbeginners.blogspot.com/" in Google to see the index. <br /> Google "hypervre scam" to see a page 1 indexing of my site. <br /> The SEO Elite software comes with video tutorials and they provide a huge follow up service full of tips and tricks for getting ranked fast in Google. This program works as attested by my blog, it's hands down the fasted I've ever received Google traffic from start up. (Take note that I am competing in one of the most competitive markets on the net - ie Making Money - and I got on Google this fast... just think how much easier a smaller niche market would be to conquer.) <br /> If you are at all serious about this type of career then save yourself a mountain of time and get <a href="http://871d5sqduk0fnp0-4my1v-fr3o.hop.clickbank.net/" rel="nofollow" target="_new">SEO Elite</a> <br /> later folks, <br /> <br /> <a href="http://goarticles.com/article/SEO-Techniques-Make-Money/368237/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the original article here</a> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/02846747944590523867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/02846747944590523867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>BERNADETTE CUNNINGHAM</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/2012/06/seo-techniques-make-money.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/2012/06/seo-techniques-make-money.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2012-06-14T14:39:00-07:00'>14:39</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/2012/06/seo-techniques-make-money.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1893735229'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=3743471430730061973&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=3743471430730061973&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=3743471430730061973&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=3743471430730061973&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=3743471430730061973&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=3743471430730061973&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/search/label/Money' rel='tag'>Money</a>, <a href='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/search/label/Techniques' rel='tag'>Techniques</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='http://www.abs.smoothlinking.net/PaperBlogsbyBookywrmish.jpg' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='2597280322862017464' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='7646229004236474937' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='7646229004236474937'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/2012/06/importance-of-blog-comments-seo-value.html'>The Importance of Blog Comments: The SEO Value Debate</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-7646229004236474937' itemprop='description articleBody'> <P>SANTA MONICA – To allow blog comments, or not to allow blog comments… that is the question for many bloggers, this one included. While a blog is a great place to send ideas out into the world, the subject of exactly what we expect to get back from it is one that is constantly being discussed, especially when it comes to moderating blog comments. So, the question is this: do blog comments have SEO value?</P><P><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1789" height="375" src="http://www.abs.smoothlinking.net/PaperBlogsbyBookywrmish.jpg" title="PaperBlogsbyBookywrmish" width="500"></P><P>I am not the first person to investigate this issue. The picture above, ”Paper Blogs”, by <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/bookwyrmish">Bookwyrmish</A>, was featured in a <a href="http://digiphile.wordpress.com/about/">recent post</A> on the same subject, by Alexander B. Howard, the <a href="http://digiphile.wordpress.com/2010/04/14/hired-im-the-new-gov20-dc-correspondent-for-oreillymedia/">Government 2.0 Correspondent for O’Reilly Media</A>. Howard cited two different experts arguing two sides of the issue. One argued that it was a waste of time, while the other said that he enjoyed interacting with customers, but Howard took the time to emphasize his own valid opinion that a blog should be a chance to build a community, not just to preach, which is why comments are so important.</P><P>“From where I sit tonight, whether you choose to have comments or not speaks to whether you want to create an online community,” Howard says. “which requires a human’s touch to manage and moderate, or to simply publish your thoughts publicly online, without making the necessary commitment of time and patience.”</P><P><a href="about:../../ali-husayni.php">Ali Husayni</A>, the CEO of the SEO service company, Master Google, agrees with the need for a quality blog with equally as useful comments. Without an interactive base, readers have no reason to read and comment on your posts, and that will leave you link-less, without the SEO opportunities that every business needs.</P><P>“You cannot just sit and wait for others to link their sites to yours,” <a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/blog/google-seo-simplified-part-iii-popularity.php">Husayni says</A>. “That simply won’t happen. In a world where there are thousands of new sites built everyday, your prospective site visitors have no way of finding you to read your content [without search engine optimization].”</P><P>As for just how often to moderate your comments and how many posts you need to put up per week, consider these things to be a part of your overall marketing efforts. Stay white hat with these for optimal SEO. What exactly is white hat marketing? It includes quality content, site optimization, guest blogging, internal linking, and more. In our recent post, we defined white hat marketing and compared it to other practices.

Like me, you have probably spent a goodly amount of money pursuing this goal. Like me, you probably haven't made much, probably haven't even broke even yet. <P>When I started everything was just wonderful; one website after another promised me that if I bought their program and followed their instructions the money would start rolling in. Naturally I bought the program ( how to build a website was the first I think ), maybe $97 - don't remember now, and quickly learned enough html to build a crappy looking site. Before long I found out I could spend even more money and just buy templates which were at least slightly less crappy looking than my own. I've forgotten how much my first templates cost but I have since spent even more money on even better crappy templates. My website has gotten less crappy looking in direct proportion to my emptying wallet. <P>So, templates installed I sat back and waited for the cash to roll in. My get rich scheme of choice was selling Ebooks and of course the ever popular Adsense. The Ebooks explained to other soon to be rich internet marketers how selling Ebooks on the net would make them rich. The Ebooks were supplied by the guy I bought my first crappy templates from. He assured me that I could re-sell his books and make a killing. I assured my visitors that they could make a killing selling Ebooks just like me if they bought my Ebook. This is what is known as affiliate marketing - a surefire scheme for making money online whithout doing any actual work. I would make 50 percent a sale, maybe 60 percent, can't remember but it doesn't matter as I never sold a single Ebook. Didn't make a dime on the Adsense thing either. Apparently you can set up a crappy looking website and stock it with surefire Ebooks and nicely displayed Adsense ads and still not make money! The problem seemed to be that nobody bothered to search out my website from a small pool of 2 billion or so other crappy websites selling Ebooks and displaying Adsense ads. <P>Sheesh... what gives. This was supposed to be easy. Well not being the type of loser who gives up quickly or cheaply I decided that I just had to spend even more money and pay Google to place ads all over the cyber world which would direct all the would be Ebook buyers and Adsense clickers to my crappy little site. This is known as Adwords advertising and near as I can tell Google makes about a kazzillion dollars off this gimick from get rich quick guys like me. I couldn't have spent more than say $1000 but by gosh it worked! Suddenly I had people browsing my site - yahoo - oops I mean Google! Yup, my $1000 brought me at least a couple hundred people which worked out to about $5 a head. The only problem was that these people didn't understand the concept of clicking on my Adword ad in order to come to my crappy little site and give me money. The buggers simply stopped by and then left. Fotunately 2 of them clicked on one of my adsense ads and Google kindly reimbersed me 3 cents for my trouble. This was great as it lowered my investment in this get rich quick enterprise to $999.97 which made me feel loads better. <P>Half assed losers would have quit by now. Not me though... this had become a challenge and I was bound and determined to prove that I could become the biggest loser of all. It seemed that I just hadn't spent enough money to get rich quick yet. I set out to change this. <P>A short digression... <P>This is the part of my sales pitch where I tell you what this site is all about. You know the routine if you've surfed enough crappy websites. It's the one where I tell you this is a review site and, me being such a nice guy, I'm going to tell you what sites to avoid and how I'm doing this out of the goodness of my heart and then at the end, still out of the goodness of my heart I'm going to mention that I have found a few programs that really truly honest to God work. These honest to God sites will have a convienient link for you to click that, just by coincidence, have an affiliate number attached to them that, again just by coincidence, happens to be my affiliate number and as luck would have it, you will help me get rich quick since I'm such a good guy and have warned you about all the bad guys out there. This is my plan. I just haven't found anything worth telling you about yet... but when I do, watch out cause I'm gonna take you for everything you have. You have been warned. <P>In the meantime I thought I would just tell you about all the crap out there that won't make you rich - quickly or otherwise. Why? Well mostly because I'm a spiteful bastard and I want to get back at all those jerks who have taken my money. If I can ruin at least one of their lives it will be worth all the cash I've hemmoraged. You may even pick up a few pieces of helpful info in the process. Nothing that will make you rich (I would keep that to myself if I knew of any) but maybe some tips that will save you money. The other reason is that I have a surefire plan that I need you to help me with that will probably not make either of us rich but it will piss off a lot of the internet Guru's and this is surely a worthy goal. More on that later if I don't run out steam. </P><P>end of digression... <P>So, where was I? Oh yeah, I had to spend more money in order to get rich quickly. Step one was to get more people to my site without giving Google any more money. I read an article in Forbes or some other pretenscious coffee table magazine that mentioned the Google guys were loaded, really really loaded actually and I just didn't want to add more to their burden of having to hire more people to count all that cash. Bastards. Yes I am an envious as well as spiteful bastard. <P>How does one get more people to their site without spending gobs of cash? There are several methods and I will mention them in passing but whatever you do - don't use them! You have probably seen or heard about traffic generation sites like adhits or Traffic Swarm and the like. These sites are set up to rotate ads for member websites. Membership is free. Why do I say not to use them? Simply put... they don't work. Sure you will have your site shown to hundreds or even thousands of other people. The problem is that all those other people are members just like you and they are not interested in your site any more than you are interested in their site. This would be wonderful if everybody clicked on the ads and bought something or at the very least clicked an Adsense ad. They don't however so this is a complete waste of your time. The other reason for not doing this is that Google doesn't like this method of advertising and if they catch you they will ban you for life. And they will catch you eventually as they seem to have the market on computer whizz kids all sewn up. Apparently having billions in pocket money can buy you the best talent. Bunch of sell outs if you ask me. <P>The best way to get free traffic is to write articles and stick them on GoArticles.com or any of the other article publication sites. The reason is simple. You get to include a link to your website at the bottom of your article. This does two things for you. First you may get traffic if someone reading your article clicks your link to see what your website is all about. The best reason however is that the articles can be downloaded and used on other websites which will give you both traffic and more importantly a link pointing back to your website. The more people who put your article on their website means more backlinks. The more backlinks you have the higher your Google page rank will be. The higher your page rank the higher your website will rank on the search engines and if you make it to page one on Google for your Keyword then you will be laughing all the way to the bank. <P>Let's back up a bit as I have just thrown a lot of stuff at you. What the hell am I babbling on about. Keywords? Page Rank? Search Engines? Back Links? I mentioned that I spent more money in my attempt to get rich. These are the types of things that I spent the money on in pursuit of something known as SEO or for the acronym challenged "Search Engine Optimzation". This is your lucky day since I'm going to give you the benefit of my newly gained and expensive knowledge for free. The problem is that this article is about as long as GoArticles will allow so you will just have to click the link at the bottom and go to my site to read the rest.

Of course, the best way to get advice that is specifically tailored for your business is to <a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/contact-form.php">fill out a contact us form</A>, but we are always happy to share our general expertise.</P><P>A recent commenter posed this question: “Do Trackbacks and Pingbacks matter when it comes to SEO?” The short answer is yes, they most certainly do matter, to varying degrees. The long answer includes an explanation of what Trackbacks and Pingbacks are, and their overall place in your SEO efforts.</P><P>Let’s start with trackbacks. A trackback is simply an automated notifier sent to someone else’s blog any time you reference their blog in a post. By sending a trackback, you are creating a link back to your blog, which takes a very small amount of time to do when considering the benefits of it.</P><img alt="Trackbacks Comic Strip" class=" wp-image-1870 " height="199" src="http://www.abs.smoothlinking.net/ITinfoOz.jpg" title="ITinfoOz Trackbacks Image" width="369"> Image Courtesy of ITinfoOz.com</P>While displayed quite humorously in the image above from a recent post by <a href="http://itinfoz.com/howtoturn-trackbacks-pingbacks-existing-wordpress-posts-prevent-spam/2025">ITinfoOz.com</A>, the subject of trackbacks is a serious one, because the opportunity for generating traffic is there, and is being underutilized, according to entrepreneur <a href="http://www.matthewbredel.com/">Matthew Bredel</A>. Bredel has seen the results of using trackbacks as part of his overall search engine optimization and social media marketing efforts on his blog.</P><P>“A trackback is a super comment. The way that a trackback works, is instead of a going to a blog and posting a comment on someone else’s blog, you post a reply on your own website and post a trackback comment. Unless they don’t allow follows, but you still establish authority,” Bredel says.</P><P>While trackbacks certainly are more limited with most blogs not allowing follows, Bredel is correct that doing so does help to establish your authority. Blogs also appreciate your interaction.</P><img alt="YouTube Preview Image" src="http://www.abs.smoothlinking.net/0.jpg"> <P>Now, on to Pingbacks. Pingbacks have more to do with author control and authenticity, as explained well by an SEO news reporter for <a href="http://www.beanstalk-inc.com/blog/2011/09/28/blogging-trackbacks-pingbacks-seo/">Beanstalk-Inc.com in a recent blog post</A>. Pingbacks were originally the response to trackbacks lacking authenticity. Pingbacks make it easy to notify a blog of your use of it just by posting its <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">permalink</A> in your blog post. Of course, there is some controversy over which is really better: pingbacks or trackbacks.</P><P>“Some feel that trackbacks are superior because the readers of Person A’s blog can at least see some of what Person B has to say before deciding if they want to read more and follow the link to the orginal blog source,” Beanstalk-Inc.com’s SEO News Reporter says. “Others feel that pingbacks are superior as they create a verifiable connection between posts. Pingbacks are akin to having remote comments.”</P><P>Whether using both trackback and pingback methods, or not having tried either one on a conscious level yet, our CEO, <a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/ali-husayni.php">Ali Husayni</A>, <a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/blog/google-seo-simplified-part-iii-popularity.php">has advice</A> for the business owner who isn’t yet using Master Google’s services for their SEO efforts. Husayni recommends his book, <a href="about:../../google-seo-ebook.php">Google SEO Secrets revealed</A>, as a good starting point for your entire website, including your blog. Still, Husanyni recommends professional help.</P><P>“Engaging in all of these techniques requires months of hard labor, a complete understanding of SEO and, of course, cash. Nevertheless, we’ve been able to transform local, small businesses into <a href="about:../../testimonials.php">large-international ones</A> in a matter of a few months by practicing what we preach,” Husayni says. “Oftentimes, smart business people who have substantial financial backing will delegate important tasks to professionals, instead of spending years mastering what someone else already knows and taking away the focus from their business.”</P><P>Fill out <a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/contact-form.php">our form</A> and we’ll gladly look at your site to see if it qualifies for our <a href="about:../../top-of-google.php">Top of Google</A> program.</P>Popularity: 4%</P> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/02846747944590523867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/02846747944590523867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>BERNADETTE CUNNINGHAM</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/2012/06/seo-value-of-trackbacks-and-pingbacks_13.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/2012/06/seo-value-of-trackbacks-and-pingbacks_13.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2012-06-13T17:19:00-07:00'>17:19</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://website-design-121.blogspot.com/2012/06/seo-value-of-trackbacks-and-pingbacks_13.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1893735229'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=3775275468965766683&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=3775275468965766683&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2597280322862017464&postID=3775275468965766683&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

In part two, we’ll share tips on what you can do to get back your ranking.</P><P>So why did your website take a nose-dive after the Panda update? In short, it’s likely due at least in part to failing to observe best SEO practices. Why are we still talking about Google Panda almost a year after it launched? Because many sites have yet to recover from the change, says <a href="http://www.mastergoogle.com/ali-husayni.php">Ali Husayni</A>, an expert in SEO technology.</P><P>There are several specific factors that caused websites to lose their rank after the Panda update. Chances are, you were guilty of one of the following:</P><P><STRONG>You copied content from other sources:</STRONG> If you’ve copied one sentence from someone else’s site, you’re plagiarizing and Google will give you an F. Think about what your English teacher taught you in high school: if you’re going to use someone else’s words, you need to attribute them to the person who wrote them. When it comes to SEO, you need to take it a step farther and reword the information so that it doesn’t appear exactly as it does on the site where you got the information.</P><P>But your best bet is to not borrow a great deal of information from other sites. Think about it from Google’s standpoint: why should they rank your site higher instead of giving a high ranking to the site where you pulled your information? That’s obviously the site filled with relevant content. The idea is to generate your own original, relevant content that site visitors will find useful.</P><P><STRONG>Your content was old and never updated:</STRONG> Google loves websites that are alive and kicking. If you launched a website in 2007 and haven’t updated the content or changed anything about it since then, Google likely will not perceive it as having useful information.
