Increase Your Online Traffic Using Two Simple Methods
No comments · Posted by Jane Xysllion in Search Engine Optimization
Of the various SEO techniques, I have learned that two are the most prominent. So what have I learned? Perhaps too much to tell, but to condense what I have learned, there are two basic techniques to growing back links to your website to increase the site’s rank on the primary search engines. The first phase is to find and secure organic back links with anchor text from the billions of sites that are in the world. The second method is to create your very own sites that you control and place your back links onto those sites that link back to your own. Both methods can be performed legitimately, or through less scrupulous methods, but combining both methods together is a great way to propel your site’s ranking to the top.
The first method is pretty straight forward and self explanatory, so let us instead focus on how to use the second approach. The second method is what I want to talk about because we are talking about establishing good page rank links back to your website from other websites that you manage. What are the steps to get started? I have developed the list below to help get you started:
1) First stop is the social networks. Strangely enough, pageflakes and not so weirdly facebook rank very well on search engines as does Linked In links. Use online social networks to establish some authoritative links back to your site as well as increase your online footprint.
2) Take a look at Hub Pages, Squidoo, and even Tumblr: Use these sites to get some basic and relative back links. These sites rank relatively well and by using them, you can get a great deal of authority with very little effort.
3) If you are web savvy, you may want to establish your own forum or directory. There is a lot of software available in the open source area that you may use to develop unique websites that focus to your area of specialization or your locality. Create them and sponsor them from your home page with anchor links.
4) Blogging tools. I understand that blogging takes a commitment, but as a Google product, Blogger has a very high page rank; which means any links from a blogger site will have a high weight. Develop numerous blogs, (don’t link them together) and add back links with anchor text to your focus website. Recruit guest bloggers or pay per article ghost writers to create content. There are software programs out there that will actually scrape content from other sites, but these will get you banned from blogger. Unique original and legitimate content is best.
With this approach you can increase your online footprint and the odds of being found online. Develop a lot of sites and use them to drive traffic to your primary website. I know that time is valuable and what I have reviewed above may initially take a lot of time, but the real estate market is becoming extremely cutthroat and your success may ultimately rely on how many people can find you online.

A Word About Video And Audio Blogs
No comments · Posted by Alfred Lancer in Search Engine Optimization
Blogs are revolutionizing the way businesses interact with their customers. To elevate blogs to the next level, you may want to embed video in your business blog. Audio Video is becoming increasingly in demand online. If you heard of YouTube, you know the impact of video online. Why not take advantage of this revolution? You can make your blog more entertaining when you include video. You may provide short clips about using your products, or you could make short presentations about your services.
Don’t confuse video blogs with online commercials, because the two are not at all the same. Video blogs are not supposed to be shameless plugs or infomercials. When you offer video in your blog you are providing valuable information in a different form. Instead of entertainment, think value. That, of course, doesn’t mean that your video should be boring. On the contrary, the more exciting you make it the more buzz it will generate. Webinars are quite common tools that would benefit your blog.
We won’t go into the details of how to get your videos on your blog, but it is easier than you think. Don’t worry if you don’t have video equipment worth millions of dollars. Most digital video recorders are more sophisticated to day than much of the video equipment professionals have used in the past.
One of the most important aspect of video to remember is that it is using much more bandwidth than text. Be sure you check with your hosting company to make sure there is enough bandwidth for you to embed video in your blog. As video is becoming ever more popular, video hosting providers have made it very easy for the end user to add video content to their blogs.
Most popular video sharing sites such as YouTube, Google Video, etc will auto-generate code that you can cut and paste into your blog post. The most widely implemented blog backend providers such as TypePad and WordPress, have both a WYSIWYG and an HTML tab for writing and editing posts. This functionality is very similar to what many people are used to seeing in popular web-page building programs like Adobe’s Dreamweaver. Most blogging software allows you to paste the video embeded code into the HTML tab of your post.

The Importance Of Link Building
No comments · Posted by Tom P Kearns in Search Engine Optimization
For non-computer geeks, learning ones way around the internet can be a daunting experience, somewhat akin to sword swallowing. Many people are terrified of the internet and so leave it alone. Don’t let this be you. The internet is here to stay and you need this valuable tool.
In this unstable global economy, a business person must make themselves known to as many potential customers as possible. The incredible expanse of the internet offers the best space to do just that. You must learn about this tool to promote your business. You must learn how to create a superior website and quality links. The good news is, while you need to understand the concept, you don’t have to create your site and your links yourself. There are many able nerds available to perform this service for you.
Question: What is link building?
The simple answer is it is a tool that leads customers to your website. It does this through the process of creating links on third party websites with a business related to yours. Every time some one visits the third party site, they see the link to yours and come visit you. This works reciprocally as well. This not only drives traffic to your site and adds credibility and exposure to it, it also creates search engine exposure. This aids in getting your site indexed by the search engine, which allows your site to be ranked nearer the top of the list of thousands of sites, making sure that your site is referred often and rapidly by such giant engines as Yahoo and Google.
To promote more traffic to your site, the links focus on keywords or phrases, an important concept which you need to understand, because it is up to you to create the essential words relating to your business, as well as your competition. Your well chosen words serve to separate your business from your rivals. There are owners of websites that allow these keywords to grow up organically over time. This can take a very, very long while. To speed the process up, create keywords to optimize the search engine and build links within the context of your website.
Links add value to your site whether incoming or outgoing. Start your link building with websites that are related to yours. This can add reciprocity and links valuable to your website. Outsourcing links will help to discover more content, which in turn, increases the importance of your site.
Link Building – is it significant?
Here’s the thing if you have a business, say for example an acupuncture center, you wouldn’t go to a random unpopulated area to start your business and make a name for yourself, would you? No, you would stand within the competition so more people will come and spread the world; earning you credibility and prosperity. This applies to business owners and their websites. Link building not only satisfies the traffic from sites but it can interest advertisers to post on your site thereby fetching abundant revenue and a successful website for you.

Facebook Performs Poorly In Customer Satisfaction
No comments · Posted by Miranda Jacobs in Search Engine Optimization
Customer satisfaction is a reflection of what we feel about a good or service, so when this report ranked the most popular social networking site at the buttom it seemed a bit of a surprise. Lets find out more, why is this the case?
According to the Foresee Annual E business Report the respondents gave answers including privacy and security concerns, the technology that controls the news feeds, advertising, the constant and unpredictable interface changes, spam, navigation troubles, annoying applications with constant notifications, and functionality, to name a few. There is
no shortage of complaints about Facebook.
However, according to July 2010 Hitwise data, Facebook is the number one website in the country, with 9% of all website visits (Google has 7.4% and Yahoo! 3.8%) and 55% of all social media visits.Facebook’s market dominance in the U.S. and around the world is indisputable. How can it be so popular if people dislike it so much?
There are a few reasons Facebook can continue to have market success despite abysmally low customer
satisfaction:
* Facebook has its own version of a monopoly. Although there are literally hundreds of social networking
sites available around the world, Facebook has surged from 200 million global users 15
months ago to more than 500 million today, according to the New York Times. There really is no
other choice for people wanting to connect with friends, family, and colleagues regardless of interest,
age, geographic location, gender, etc.
* Research shows that customer satisfaction with social media sites is somewhat age-related. Older people are less satisfied with Facebook than are younger people, who are less impacted by the privacy concerns and changes to the interface. Young people helped to make Facebook successful, and they like it a little better. However, the fastest-growing Facebook segments are all older adults, so higher satisfaction among young people will not carry the company far.
* Customers are willing to suffer through a poor experience in return for the benefits Facebook provides.
This is a rare scenario in the American economy: usually customer satisfaction is intertwined with market success. The few exceptions to this rule (airlines, cable companies, and fast food) are
operating in a sphere where there are no true standouts, so the bar is low. Should MySpace stage a comeback, or should any other competitor to Facebook deliver a truly superior customer experience,
Facebook should have cause for concern. Right now, only Wikipedia and YouTube surpass Facebook in terms of customer satisfaction, and they are not in direct competition. One aspect of Facebook loyalty not often discussed is that it acts as a storehouse for many people’s pictures and videos.
As for businesses, it acts as a platform to connect with a wide audience which is why social media is an importnat marketing tool. Do check out our ‘Amazing Stats On Social Media’ blog. For example There are more than 3.5 bn pieces of content (web links, news stories, blog posts) shared each week on Facebook.

A Few Quick Thoughts On The Importance Of Search Engine Optimization
No comments · Posted by Joseph Akinola in Search Engine Optimization
Search engine optimization, or SEO for short, is something that will refer to the ability of any website or blog to be positioned highly on search engine results. When anyone types a certain keyword or keyword phrase into their search engine the results that come up first will be highly effective in terms of their search engine optimisation strategy.
So why is this so important? Well, it is fairly obvious to say that the websites and blogs that have high rankings on search engines are always going to get high levels of traffic. Traffic is the absolute lifeblood of any Internet presence and without a high level of traffic you will never gain the success that you would like to achieve.
Traffic is the most important thing that any business can have and without it know one will actually be checking out your products or your services. With no one looking at what you are offering there is no way you are going to make great sales and as such your website will simply become lost amongst all of the competition on the Internet.
There is a lots of information that you can take on board when it comes to understanding and learning about search engine optimisation and how to develop and run through a proper strategy for it. It is therefore crucial for you to conduct as much research as possible and to also take courses in order to understand how it all works and how you can do it properly.
There are thankfully a number of free sources that you can take advantage of in order to understand this and also free ways of improving your ratings as well. Of course, there are paid methods also which will often lead to far more extensive results.
All in all, without engaging in a proper strategy, your success online and the success of your business will never reach the pinnacle that its potential might suggest.
