Google either penalized or removed offending sites from their index, essentially making those sites invisible to the vast majority of Internet users. Penguin served as a wake-up call to the SEO community and to those responsible for Internet content around the globe, with a message to clean up their act, or suffer the consequences.<img alt="" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-224361" height="300" src="http://cdn.business2community.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/evil-penguin2-250x300.jpg" style="border: 0px; float: right; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; margin: 10px 0px 15px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="evil-penguin2" width="250" /></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">SEO pros are baffled by how many of the very same mistakes that were made prior to the launch of Penguin – still prevail today. The following are the most common errors we continue to detect in our newest customers’ websites.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">1. Not using “Rel = Canonical” &amp; 301 Redirects</strong><br />Sometimes, website owners fail to realize that their site URLs are viewed on the internet as both “yoursite.com” and “www.yoursite.com”. Because of this, your website is detected by search engines as having two addresses with the exact same content instead of one. This is a no-no, an event that Penguin penalizes for all the time. Stop, and do not pass Go, before setting up a 301 Redirect on your web server. Your webmaster knows how to do this, and if not, you need a new webmaster. It does not matter which page redirects to the other, but your preferred URL needs to be unique.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">On top of that, you need to direct search engines to which version of your pages are Canonical (preferred). Because we prefer the “www” version for our website, we use the following tag:before thesection of index.html. This tag tells search engines that this URL is preferred, and to ignore other variations. On pages with similar content to others, we also use similar tags, so that search engines know which pages we want them to focus their crawling. The combination of rel=canonical, with a 301 redirect from either www-fronted URL to non-www-fronted URL will make sure that the Penguin does not smack you around for duplicate content.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2. Non-relevant Backlinks</strong><br />Look, if you sell custom ink-pens for a living online, and your site is linked to the World Wrestling Federation, the Penguin is going to get you, baby. Since Penguin was launched, TekPersona has received many requests for assistance with once- popular web sites that were either knocked so far down in SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) as to become invisible, or removed from the Google index altogether. The reason: Non-Relevant-Backlinks.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Prior to Penguin, Google in part determined your PR (Page Rank) and Site Authority from the number of sites that linked back to your pages. Thus, all sorts of shenanigans from Black Hat (cheating) SEO types occurred, like the use of link-farms or article spinning, that resulted in back-links from sites having nothing remotely related to do with the subject matter of your own. One company that came to us had more than 10K unrelated back-links, and was kicked off Google SERPs with the resultant loss of paying affiliates who counted on that site being found near the top of SERPs. Good news, there are both free and for-pay tools to assist you in getting rid of links that Google and other engines frown upon. Get them, use them, or remain invisible.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">3. Multiple H1 Tags</strong><br />This is basic, but we still see it every single day. You get one H1 tag per page. ONE. Highlight other content under H2, H3, and so on, but do NOT allow multiple H1s on your pages. If you do, you will really anger the Penguin, and you would not like him when he’s angry. Trust me.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">4. Keyword Cannibalization</strong><br />A very common mistake, but one that is sometimes necessary when you have to cover a lot of material in very limited space. It is a best practice to limit keyword focus on a page to only one or two. More than that, and the Penguin tends to get into a tizzy. Many websites (including ours) list many keywords (our services) on our home page, as it’s unavoidable. You should make sure that you are careful to focus on only one or two keywords at a time on other content pages.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Another method of Cannibalization is a set of keywords too close to each other in meaning. Example: “Wedding Photographer” – “Wedding Photography”- “Wedding Photos” – “Wedding Pictures” – “Wedding Portraits” This happens all the time, and means that Google and other engines might see this as: “Wedding and uh…stuff”</div><div class="wp-caption alignleft" id="attachment_224363" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; float: left; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 13px; margin: 10px 20px 0px 0px; max-width: 96%; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline; width: 310px;"><img alt="" class="size-medium wp-image-224363 " height="300" src="http://cdn2.business2community.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/mattcutts-300x300.png" style="border: 0px none; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 98.5%; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: auto;" title="mattcutts" width="300" /><br /><div class="wp-caption-text" style="border: 0px; color: #999999; font-size: 11px; font: inherit; line-height: 16px; padding: 5px 4px; vertical-align: baseline;">“Penguin” is Google’s attempt to “level the playing field”- Matt Cutts, Google</div></div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">5. Forgetting Image Alt Tags</strong><br />The number of sites that do not take advantage of the “Alt” (alternative) tag on their site’s images continues to amaze me. Not only are you making your site less accessible to those who are visually challenged, you have lost an opportunity to describe your images to others (and search engines) via a keyword. Last week we crawled a site with hundreds of photos, and not one had an image alt-tag. All those opportunities lost! Scandalous.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">6. Endless Meta Descriptions</strong><br />Yes, be descriptive and use keywords in your site’s Meta Description tag. However, do NOT write a book. The Penguin has a short attention span. After 156 characters, not words, CHARACTERS, the Penguin will not be paying much attention. As well, if your description appears in SERPs, this is the cutoff point for the words you want displayed about your organization. Keep what your company does short, focused and to the point.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">7. Lack of up-to-date Sitemaps and Page Crawling Errors</strong><br />This is another incredibly common mistake. When is the last time you used Google Webmaster tools to see how Google sees your sites? Many are shocked, SHOCKED to discover that Google for one reason or another cannot crawl your site. This is primarily true for sites created by one of those “Easy WebSite” companies. You know the ones who charge you extra for ‘mysterious SEO packages’? What they are doing in many cases, is simply blocking your pages from Search Engines until you pay them additional money. You pay them, they stop blocking you from getting indexed! The less-informed are misled to think the hosting company actually did something of value. It is a bad practice and needs to stop.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">A sitemap is like a roadmap for the Search Engine bots that visit your pages and gather information about your website and its relevance to the searches that take place regarding your pages’ contents.<br />If you add new pages, an up-to-date sitemap will alert those bots to their presence, and crawl them for content. Without a sitemap, this detection takes much longer, or does not happen at all. Make sure you have a sitemap and keep it updated.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Google’s Webmaster Tools are free of charge. Sign up your site and check for crawl errors that might be keeping you from ranking on SERPs, even if everything else is fine. Make sure you have a robots.txt file in the root of your site, and test it on Webmaster tools to make sure that your website is open to search engines.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">8. Page Titles &amp; Keywords</strong><br />Not using your keywords in your page titles is another very basic mistake, and an easy one to fix. Just use your keywords in your page names. This is particularly important if your web site is not named after what you do.<br />Example:<br />“about us” = Bad.<br />“about *your company name*. = Good.<br />This also applies to content pages. Don’t name your page “Services” when you could name it “*your company name* Services” The name of your business is (gasp) a keyword! Use it. The Penguin appreciates knowing who you are.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">9. WordPress SEO</strong><br />Way too often, users of WordPress rely upon SEO widgets to determine the strength of their content for a high SERP ranking. Unfortunately, these widgets are not smart enough to give you an accurate picture of your Penguin compliance. I am not saying they are worthless, but I have yet to see one give you a truly accurate grading for your SEO. If you are unfamiliar with Search Engine Optimization, you are better off hiring a consultant than trusting your pages to one of these tools, because they often are guilty of all kinds of over-optimization problems since they take a brute-force, rather than subtle approach to SEO. They also are prime perpetrators of the following, and most commonly seen problem of all.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">10. Keyword Stuffing</strong><br />Does your web site sell chocolate? Maybe a Chocolaty chocolate? Alternatively, how about a chocolaty chocolate made by chocolate experts who went to chocolate school, and know chocolate inside and out, and work from their chocolate factory on Chocolate Fudge Avenue? Don’t laugh, as we see this kind of original content from new clients every single day. The Penguin is designed to detect this kind of thing, and it will punish you in ways that cause you much grief.</div><div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 13px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Although the list of SEO mistakes that can be made is long, these are the 10 most popular ones made by businesses, and none of them are difficult to fix. Now that Google lets you index your pages immediately from their Webmaster tools, you should see the results of your fixes in days rather than what used to take weeks or months to realize. If you are not inclined to perform these fixes, contact a credible White Hat SEO company like mine. To evaluate such companies, ask them about these issues and if they cannot give you a credible, detailed description to why these issues matter, keep looking. SEO is crucial for websites that depend on the Internet to make money. Very simply, if your site is invisible in SERPs, how are customers going to find you?</div><span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font: inherit; line-height: 13px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />Read more at&nbsp;<span style="color: #003399; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font: inherit;">http://www.business2community.com/seo/top-10-seo-mistakes-still-made-after-penguin-0224349#DJLHKxgJrcrk5zAg.99</span></span>&nbsp;</span></description><link>http://panduanseo.blogspot.com/2012/12/10-mistake-seo-after-penguin.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466783827475015474.post-2287857769599795687</guid><pubDate>Wed, 05 Sep 2012 07:52:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-09-05T00:52:15.178-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">New SEO Tips Tricks After Google Penguin Update</category><title>New SEO Tips & Tricks After Google Penguin Update</title><description><br /><div class="post-title" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;"><h1 class="title" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #262625; font-family: Vollkorn, Georgia, serif; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">New SEO Tips &amp; Tricks After Google Penguin Update</h1><div class="post-meta" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; clear: both; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 5px 0px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 5px 0px;">Posted by&nbsp;<a href="http://www.techinitio.com/author/mi6430/" rel="author" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #2266aa; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" title="Posts by mi6430">mi6430</a>&nbsp;on July 9th, 2012 |&nbsp;<a class="commentslink" href="http://www.techinitio.com/new-seo-tips-tricks-after-google-penguin-update/#comments" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #2266aa; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" title="Comment on New SEO Tips &amp; Tricks After Google Penguin Update">15 Comments</a></span></div><div class="clear" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; clear: both; height: 1px; margin: -1px 0px 0px; padding: 0px;"></div></div><div class="entry" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div style="background-color: transparent; border: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 6px 0px;">Most online businesses are aware of the way that search engine results can make or break a website since most online traffic originates with search engine results. However, most companies still only use keyword content creation as a way of attempting to improve their search engine ranking. While that is one of the best search engine optimization methods, it is not the only one. Here are four quick SEO Tips and Tricks to help your search engine rankings quickly and efficiently.</div><h3 style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; clear: both; font-size: 18px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><u style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">1. The Way Files and Directories are Named Matters</u></span></h3><div style="background-color: transparent; border: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 6px 0px;">One of the ways that Google indexes sites is by looking at file and directory names. This means that a business can actually improve its search engine rankings by simply naming its files based on the content in them. For example, an article on cat food could be named cat-food-for-indoor-felines.html. There are even blogging software suites that give publishers the option to automatically generate file names based on blog titles. This only takes a few minutes to set up, but it could give a company the edge it needs over its competition.</div><h3 style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; clear: both; font-size: 18px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><u style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">2. Look To Social Media For White Hat Backlinks</u></span></h3><div style="background-color: transparent; border: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 6px 0px;">Since the most recent Google Panda and Penguin updates, people are finding that most of their backlinking methods are not successful anymore. Link farms and other black hat SEO methods are no longer being counted towards the total number of links to a website. However, with the plethora of social media sites on the Internet, businesses can increase their backlinking numbers by simply posting links to new content on their social media profile pages.</div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 6px 0px;">If a company is active on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest, they are able to create four links to new content within minutes. Additionally, if status updates and content is shared, even more white hat link-backs are created. Google is also looking at "likes" as being positive votes for a site, further underscoring the importance of using this SEO method.</div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 6px 0px;"></div><div style="border: 1px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 6px 0px;"><a href="http://www.techinitio.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/GooglePenguinUpdate.jpg" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2266aa; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><img alt="Google-Penguin-Update" border="0" height="302" src="http://www.techinitio.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/GooglePenguinUpdate_thumb.jpg" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; display: block; float: none; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px;" title="Google-Penguin-Update" width="537" /></a></div><h3 style="border: 0px; clear: both; font-size: 18px; line-height: 19.200000762939453px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><u style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">3. Take Advantage of Blog and Site Sorting Tags</u></span></h3><div style="border: 1px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 6px 0px;">In addition to making a website easier for search engines to index, using blog and site sorting tags can also contribute to a site’s keyword usage and improve its search engine ranking. Since one of the things that Google uses to measure the relevancy of a site to a keyword is anchor text, or the text used to describe a link within a website, web designers can use site sorting tags as a way to include keywords. Additionally, most blogs allow designers to sort by both categories and tags, giving websites a white hat way of increasing keyword use and linking.</div><h3 style="border: 0px; clear: both; font-size: 18px; line-height: 19.200000762939453px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: blue; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><u style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">4. Make Images Google Friendly</u></span></h3><div style="border: 1px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 6px 0px;">Another method of driving traffic to a website is to make images Google friendly. This SEO method does not get a lot of attention because the majority of people arrive at websites through standard search engine results. However, optimizing images for Google Image indexing is quick and can still drive traffic to a site. To make images indexing friendly, webmasters will need to use descriptive image names and use the HTML "img alt" tag. Image names should describe the photo concisely, and the "img alt" tag can be used to caption the photo. Further, image naming schemes are able to improve search engine ranking in the same way that using naming conventions for HTML pages does.</div><h3 style="border: 0px; clear: both; font-size: 18px; line-height: 19.200000762939453px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><u style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Conclusion</u></h3><div style="border: 1px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 6px 0px;">The above 4 tips are all considered white hat legitimate SEO practice and many are even suggested by Google.

Ian was concerned about the effect of a variety of issues including indexing and link dampening, and was desperate for help. Unfortunately, he had read some fairly misleading articles in the past, so he had a somewhat mixed up understanding of the factors at play. Because I suspect he's not alone in his concern and confusion, I decided to publish the details of our discussion.<br /><br />Ian's email consisted of several questions. I've listed each separately below, followed by my response.<br /><br />Q: When I search for the number of backlinks to my site using "link:www.betheladventure.co.uk", I see only 23 results. It appears that only 23 of our backlinks have survived Google's dampening link filter. Is there a time delay before they are credited to a site? "<br /><br />A: Firstly, I think you may have the dampening link filter a little confused. According to the dampening link filter theory, your links are found and recognized by Google, you just don't get the full benefit from them until a given period of time has elapsed. The dampening link filter (if it exists) doesn't stop links from appearing in Google's results when you search for them. (The only reason your backlinks might not appear in a Google search is if Google hasn't yet indexed the pages containing the links.) Also, don't worry too much about things like the dampening link filter. For a start, it's far from established / accepted fact. Many well regarded SEO experts don't believe in it at all. Furthermore, even if it does exist, it only affects those businesses with the budget to generate the huge numbers (hundreds or thousands probably) of links reputedly required to trigger it. If your number of backlinks suddenly increases by 20, that's no problem.<br /><br />And secondly, don't believe everything Google tells you. By searching for "link:www.betheladventure.co.uk", you generally only see a small percentage of actual links to your site. The best way to search for links is to search for just the URL "www.bethaladventure.co.uk" , then on the page that displays next, select "Find web pages that contain the term "www.bethaladventure.co.uk" ". When you do it this way, you'll see all the pages that contain your URL. In most cases, the URL will be an active link (or at least it should be, and you should ask them to make it so). When you do this search, you'll see that your site has about 169 links, not 23.<br /><br />Q: Another question is about indexed pages (using site:www.betheladventure.co.uk). I understand this is a record of pages that have been changed. I had 32, it went down to 28 and now this morning it is down to 26. Do they only keep the pages for a month or is there more to the indexed pages than I realized?<br /><br />A: The number of indexed pages is simply the number of pages on your website that Google 'knows about'. Theoretically, the only time the age of a page comes into play is when the page is too young*, i.e. Google spiders haven't visited it yet, or Google hasn't updated its index. As to why the reported number of indexed pages is reducing, I suspect it's just a temporary shift. The number of results in Google's searches varies pretty much constantly.<br /><br />*Actually, technically speaking, it has been suggested that Google is not capable of indexing all 11.5 billion pages currently believed to be online (and the 10 million more that are added every day), and that as it indexes new pages, old pages are pushed out of the index. (This is a very rough description of the theory - if it's happening at all, it's likely to be far more complicated than this.) If this is happening, it may explain why the reported number of indexed pages is reducing. Although I think it's a long shot, a good way to deal with it is to maintain high quality content, to keep increasing it, to keep generating backlinks, and to generate a Google sitemap. To find out more about sitemaps, go to http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/login . To download a free - and very useful - tool for generating a sitemap, go to http://johannesmueller.com/gs/ .<br /><br /><br />I know there's a lot of confusion surrounding these issues, so I hope you've found this exchange helpful.<br /><br />Happy indexing</span></description><link>http://panduanseo.blogspot.com/2011/08/confused-about-googles-index-link.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466783827475015474.post-462614038966410933</guid><pubDate>Fri, 12 Aug 2011 03:51:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-08-11T20:51:00.405-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Seo Guide</category><title>Google Page Rank Is Dead -</title><description><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div> <div align="justify"><span class="style2">by: <span>Martin Lemieux</span></span></div> <span class="style2"><br />By: Martin Lemieux<br /><br />HELP! My PR page rank is grey, call the development doctor. As the world of Google is turning a mile a minute these days, some really big changes are happening. This weekend, marketers all around the world don't believe what they are seeing... Google's Page Ranking system is dead.<br /><br />Is it really dead?<br /><br />In an online forum post from WebProWorld.com (A discussion on Google), people from all over are speculating about what is going on. In fact, one member was quick to point out that the last big shift Google had, we saw the PR system go down as well. This begs the question...<br /><br />Are we on the verge of a BIG PR shift? or,<br />Are we seeing a Google marketing scheme just to shake people up?<br /><br />In many ways, Google needs to be improved upon their "broken down PR system". There are so many areas if they payed attention to forums and blogs all around the world, they would have more than enough feedback about their PR system to fix this growing PR issue.<br /><br />Page ranking is a potentially a great system. It CAN be a great system if it directly ranks websites properly by content, relevance, and not simply by the number of links pointing to an individual website.<br /><br />These days, you see a website with 15 "medium relevant" links pointing to it while its front page holds a PR of 7-8 out of 10. How do you justify that?<br /><br />What will it mean if Google's PR systems stays down?<br /><br />I believe it will mean a big shift to online marketing. Many newbies out there that are barely legal when it comes to SEO have an opportunity to measure everything they do. In turn, the newbies may even sound professional to their clients. Take away these tools and you are left with true marketing gurus that have stood the test of time and can deliver results for themselves and their clients.<br /><br />The internet is vastly growing into a pool of professional fakes and scammers. This is really giving the internet marketing community a bad name. Without the Google PR, many people won't be able to prove their results nor will they have that "fake respect" that you get from having a website with PR 7/10.<br /><br />What about MSN &amp; Yahoo?<br /><br />In growing efforts to keep up with MSN &amp; Yahoo's strong and growing marketing campaign, Google may be feeling left out these days. Many people think that their PR system is simply a gimmick; a gimmick that attracts a lot of attention. By disabeling this system, you create mass fear and confusion. Bad publicity is still publicity neverless?<br /><br />So, is Google trying to create a buzz?<br /><br />This could be possible and it could be possible that everything will be back to normal within a couple of days. We won't know until time catches up with us.<br /><br />Until then, take this "dark saga" moment and find other ways to build your business online. Don't worry about what Google is doing, worry about what you are doing to improve your internet marketing campaign.</span></description><link>http://panduanseo.blogspot.com/2011/08/google-page-rank-is-dead.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466783827475015474.post-7205342687477272909</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Aug 2011 03:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-08-10T20:12:00.307-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Seo Guide</category><title>Buy Traffic – Successfully Buy from Traffic Brokers.</title><description><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div> <div align="justify"><span class="style2">by: <span>Charles Nevery</span></span></div> <span class="style2">Buy traffic - There is one fast way to deliver traffic by the thousands to your website within 24 hours.

Today the standard website traffic categories are –<br /><br /><br />Untargeted – Untargeted traffic is usually a source of the fastest traffic and it has no Geo targeting or category. Untargeted traffic is good for sites that are not a specific niche. Such traffic is good for joke websites or dating websites.<br /><br /><br />Targeted traffic – Targeted traffic is not Geo targeted but it usually consist of a wide range of categories witch can be found here for example -<br />http://www.prosubmit-traffic.com/programs.html<br /><br />USA Targeted – US targeted traffic is from servers that host websites in the US and target a broad range of targeted audience.

This is what I call it anyway. Have you visited a favorite website lately only to realize they've been nuked by Google?<br /><br />More and more we are seeing internet marketing / SEO companies getting nuked, by Google completely removing them from their data banks. I am not going to mention any names because I'm sure the owners of the once populated websites already know and are embarrassed from this development.<br /><br />Since the word went out on WebPositionGold getting banned from Google for automatic queries sent to Google, we are noticing other related websites going down for the count as well.<br /><br />For the info on WebPositionGold, go here:<br />http://www.socialpatterns.com/search-engine-marketing/webposition-banned/<br /><br />The things is, we already know about Webpositiongold, what about other sites that are getting hit hard? Has your site been nuked?<br /><br />It seems as though, some sites that had thousands of links pointing from Google are getting hit the hardest. It seems like Google is cracking down on "spam tactics", "submission tactics", and anything related to unethical SEO practices.<br /><br />Is Google Making An Effort To Uphold Their Webmaster Guidelines?<br /><br />Will it come to a point where if we don't uphold the Google guidelines, we cannot be successful online? This thought is ridiculous but almost scary to think it could happen! What about website's that still hide text through same background colours? Hidden div layers? and mirror pages? Why hasn't Google attacked those issues first?<br /><br />You can almost make the assumption that by Google nuking websites that send automatic ranking &amp; link popularity queries to their data base, this may be a huge effort to relieve the strain on the query servers in order to free up some memory.<br /><br />How Does Getting Your Website Nuked From Google Affect Your Credibility?<br /><br />An event like this could ultimately ruin your reputation online. People who have come to trust your knowledge and judgment on Google rankings may never look at your company the same ever again. People might think to themselves "I don't want to get nuked like they did!".<br /><br />How Can You Tell You've Been Nuked?<br /><br />* Your Google Page Rank is now 0-2/10 and should be at least 5/10<br />* You have zero backlinks listing in Google anymore<br />* You have zero internal website listings within Google by doing (site:www.yoursite.com)<br />* Google's cache of your website is no longer to be found<br /><br />For newer websites, don't be confused between this nuking process and your own evolution online. Getting and maintaining a high PR level takes a lot of work.<br /><br />Once Nuked, Does Google Still Come Back?<br /><br />The question I have for websites that have been nuked: Can you still see Google in your stat log files for your site? If so, I wonder if Google is still keeping an eye on you and watching your every move?<br /><br />In Conclusion:<br /><br />Stay away from programs that generate automatic queries into Google. Don't check your link popularity 3 times a week and especially don't check your search engine rankings twice a day. Just simply promote your website and measure your success through your internal website stats and monthly profits. Google doesn't appreciate websites that consistently draw their power in order to measure their success, just simply take that out of your daily actions.<br /><br />Cheers to your online success!<br /><br /></span></description><link>http://panduanseo.blogspot.com/2011/08/are-you-getting-nuked-by-google-lately.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466783827475015474.post-3274496679134763714</guid><pubDate>Sat, 06 Aug 2011 03:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-08-05T20:12:00.298-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Seo Guide</category><title>Automatic Website Submissions Beware</title><description><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div> <div align="justify"><span class="style2">by: <span>daniel chow</span></span></div> <span class="style2">Submitting your website to search engines is the first and the most basic step a webmaster takes to get the word out about his/her new website. There was a time when this was a very long and tedious process, where one had to go through many different search engines, and submit their websites manually, but now there are many services, which promise that they will automatically submit your website, for a low cost, thereby saving you a lot of time and hassle. So are their claims genuine? Should you go with them? Or is it better to do this boring and tedious job manually? This article aims to answer these questions.<br /><br />¡§We will submit your website to 10,000 search engines for only $30¡¨, ¡§Get listed in 1000 search engines for only $15¡¨, these are the sort of claims you would have probably read on many websites, offering search engine submission services. It is strictly advised against using such services, due to many reasons, discussed below.<br /><br />Firstly, there are at the most 10 major search engines, which send 95% of the traffic to all websites, and the other 5% are usually free for all (FFA) search engines, which just take in submissions, and may rank your site at the top for a short period, and will lower your position as soon as a new load of submissions come in. Even if they do send you little traffic it is likely to be untargeted. It is also to be noted that most FFA search engines are topic specific. Another danger with these types of search engines is that your email address is most likely to be sold to third parties and ultimately your inbox filled with spam, and when you are going for a 1000 submissions, there is no way to find out which search engine actually sold your email address.<br /><br />There are some other services which actually claim to submit your website free to these search engines, now as the saying goes ¡§there is no free lunch¡¨, they purely work with the sole intention of obtaining your email addresses for spam purposes.<br /><br />Another claim made by some search engine submission services is ¡§we can get you high rankings in major search engines¡¨. This is totally untrue, and impossible. Search engine submission by these services is done by using automatic software, which opens up the site submission page, fills up the form with the help of information provided and submits it. This process has nothing to do with optimizing your website for better rankings. Some of these services also claim that they can get your entire site indexed in only a day. Once again, this is not possible as most search engines have limits on the number of pages that can be submitted to them, in a day. For e.g. with Google you can submit a maximum of five pages per day</span></description><link>http://panduanseo.blogspot.com/2011/08/automatic-website-submissions-beware.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466783827475015474.post-7463983797685325813</guid><pubDate>Thu, 04 Aug 2011 03:46:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-08-03T20:46:00.236-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Seo Guide</category><title>Driving your website through Google Sandbox</title><description><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div> <div align="justify"><span class="style2">by: <span>Monia Hassan</span></span></div> <span class="style2">What is Google Sandbox?<br /><br />Google Sandbox is applied on new websites, it determines the timing of site inclusion as well as ranking in Google search engine results (SERPS).<br />This process could take up to 6-8 months, which could be against your plans causing frustration to webmasters.<br /><br />The question is what is to be done during the time in which websites are in Google Sandbox?<br /><br />Do not waste time on checking your website listings in results page instead emphasize on SEO methods to accelerate your listings &amp; improve status of ranking results.<br />Also make efforts to appear on other major search engines such as MSN &amp; Yahoo since they do not have sandbox like Google, this will help drive traffic to your website while waiting for Googlebot to index your pages.<br /><br />Link building strategy is another important issue not only will it improve ranking but also it will help Googlebot spider to find your pages easier while it’s in the sandbox instead of repeatedly submitting your website every time.<br /><br />Content is king<br /><br />Main part for ongoing development of your website is to add new content on continuous basis since the most thing search engines are after is good quality websites with relevant content.<br /><br />Conclusion at the end is that waiting for Google Sandbox is nothing but a waste of your precious time; instead do some useful efforts on developing your website with relevant content &amp; adding inbound links as a part of your linking strategy to make Google happy with what it sees as well as your target visitor.<br /><br /><br /></span></description><link>http://panduanseo.blogspot.com/2011/08/driving-your-website-through-google.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466783827475015474.post-2267604593302124922</guid><pubDate>Tue, 02 Aug 2011 03:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-08-01T20:47:00.328-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Seo Guide</category><title>Get a top 10 ranking without paying a cent</title><description><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span">Get a top 10 ranking without paying a cent</span></div> <div align="justify"><span class="style2">by: <span>Glenn Murray</span></span></div> <span class="style2">If there's one thing that Google loves, it's content. Done right, a content rich website is almost guaranteed to rank highly. But how to get that content? You can write it yourself, but that takes a lot of time. You can pay an SEO copywriter to write it for you, but that takes a lot of money. If only there was another option...<br /><br />What if you could get your content for free? And not just a little bit of content; a lot! What if you could get an almost unlimited supply of keyword rich, expertly written content, specific to your subject matter, absolutely free of charge? Would you snap it up and upload to your site in an instant? Of course you would! Well here's the good news: you can! Read on to find out how you can get a top ten ranking in the search engines without paying a single cent...<br /><br />Yes, content gives you a great ranking<br /><br />Content is king. This is widely acknowledged as fact, but if you need further convincing, consider the following two points:<br /><br />Point 1 - In Google's own words, one of the keys to a high ranking is to "create a useful, information-rich site" (from “Google Information for Webmasters” - http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html).<br /><br />Point 2 - Google insider, codenamed 'Google Guy', advocates a list 26 steps to building a high ranking site. Step 5 of the list says, "build one page of content and put online per day at 200-500 words" (from Brett Tabke's "26 steps to 15k a Day" - http://www.searchengineworld.com/misc/guide.htm, advocated by Google Guy in a WebMasterWorld QA session - http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum30/29727-6-10.htm).<br /><br />But why does content give you a great ranking?<br /><br />I won't go into any further detail about IF Google loves content. I will, however, briefly explain WHY. Google's love affair with content is based on two key attractions:<br /><br />1) Google loves sites with a lot of content because it assumes they provide a lot of useful information. And remember, that's the whole reason Google exists - to help people find useful information. The more helpful Google's results, the more traffic (and revenue) it gets.<br /><br />2) Google loves sites that have a lot of links pointing to them because this means other webmasters hold your site in high regard, and Google assumes this means the content is useful. And naturally, if you create a useful site, other webmasters will link to it because this makes them useful to their visitors (thereby developing site loyalty), and they gain credibility and authority because they're associated with you.<br /><br />So how can you get free content for your website?<br /><br />Three words: 'free reprint articles'. There are hundreds of thousands of people out there writing high quality, helpful, informative articles on virtually every topic imaginable, then giving these article away to any webmaster who wants to publish them on a website. In exchange for the article, the author asks only that you retain the author bio at the end, complete with all links (e.g. "Glenn Murray is an SEO Copywriter and Article Submission Specialist...).<br /><br />To find free content for your website, simply visit any one of hundreds of 'article banks' on the Internet such as http://www.ezinearticles.com, http://www.goarticles.com, or http://www.articleblast.com. Browse or search for the subject you're interested in, then take the article(s) for free. There is absolutely no charge. Some of these sites will even send a regular stream of articles direct to your website (using RSS).<br /><br />Alternatively, you can sign up to any number of article distribution lists and get articles delivered direct to your email inbox. Again, it's absolutely free! Some of the better known distribution lists include http://groups.yahoo.com/group/article_announce, http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/Free-Content, and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Free-Reprint-Articles.<br /><br />TIP: The article banks and distribution lists mentioned above are just the tip of the iceberg. There are hundreds more - just do a search for "free reprint articles", "article submission", "article submission site", "submit article", "article submit site", "free articles", or "free content". You may even find a site or list which only deals in articles relating to your particular subject matter.<br /><br />Why is it free?<br /><br />Why are these authors giving their articles away? Because it helps the author's own search engine ranking. It's a promotional activity known as 'article PR'. As explained above, Google loves sites with lots of links pointing to them. Every time their article submission is published, the author gets another link to their website. In fact, if the article is really good, it may be published hundreds of times. And each time, it's another link to the author's website. Put simply, article submission is a writer's free pass to the top of the search engines. (In this sense, the "PR" in article PR stands for PageRank.)<br /><br />Furthermore, like traditional public relations, article PR also conveys a sense of authority because your articles are widely published. And because you're proving your expertise and freely dispensing knowledge, your readers will trust you and will be more likely to remain loyal to you. (In this sense, the "PR" in article PR stands for Public Relations.)<br /><br />How do I know if the quality is good?<br /><br />It's a process of natural selection. The better the article submission, the more often it will be published, so it's in the author's interest to write and submit articles of the highest quality. Of course, this doesn't always happen, but in most cases, you'll be reviewing the articles before you post them anyway, so if you discover one that's not up to scratch, don't use it.<br /><br />In time, you'll become familiar with the authors who consistently put out good quality content - you may even find enough of them that you don't need to go looking for content from anyone else...<br /><br />Where do I put the free content?<br /><br />Most people put the articles in an 'Articles' or 'Resources' section on their website, but you can put them anywhere you like.<br /><br />How much free content should I use?<br /><br />As much as you want or as little as you want. It all depends on your needs and the needs of your audience. If your audience expects that at least some of your site is original content, then give it to them.<br /><br />But what about the duplicate content issue?<br /><br />It's not an issue!<br /><br />There's a lot of a talk about how Google penalizes duplicate content. The theory is that when the majority of the content on two separate webpages (on different sites) is the same, the one with the higher PR will be shown and the other one will not.<br /><br />Whether or not this theory is true is still a hot topic in search engine circles, but regardless, it doesn't affect people publishing free-reprint articles. When you publish the article, just make sure you have unique content around it.

Of course your content and meta tags must be inline with positive density percentages and reciprocal links. Google then takes your website and performs a mathematic equation and places a numeric value on your website depending on one of the most important features, reciprocal or back links.<br /><br />A back link and reciprocal link are identical. They both say the same thing to the Google engine, that your site should be ranked higher in the order because other people find value in what your website has to offer, thus they provide a link to your site. In turn, you keep a closed loop by reciprocating the favor to the other website by extending the same courtesy of a back link. Thus creating a solid network connection. Google likes to see interconnectivity and will reward your website well for planning it this way.<br /><br />There are drawbacks to the equation. As things change a website that you are affiliated with may drop a hyperlink or a page may get accidentally deleted. When the Google robot goes through your website and finds a dead link it notes that you aren’t keeping good care of your website and punishes your web rank by reducing its point value. If you wish to know what your sites current point value is download The Google Toolbar and search for your website www.yourwebsitename.com in the box and perform a Google web search. Upon reading the full URL, Google will go directly to your site first thus pulling up your home page. There on the toolbar will be a page rank for your website between 1 and 10. 1 being a less visited and noted website and 10 a site that screams traffic 24/7.<br /><br />Some of the individuals you share reciprocal links with may in fact scan all their links for continuity, should they receive a bounce back for a broken link on your website you can be assured you will receive an email from them. Keeping your website in balance with other sites you share links with will keep the Google engine happy. If you go off and add a company that is not Google friendly, meaning they have no back links you may also lose points</span></description><link>http://panduanseo.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-important-are-back-links_31.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466783827475015474.post-8573268788233211541</guid><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jul 2011 03:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-07-30T20:14:00.489-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Seo Guide</category><title>Creative Search Engine Optimization – A Case Study</title><description><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div> <div align="justify"><span class="style2">by: <span>Halstatt Pires</span></span></div> <span class="style2">Search engine optimization this and search engine optimization that. You read and hear about it all day, but what about your site? While there are plenty of articles providing useful information, this article shows you how a real world example met with success. The point of this article is to emphasize creativity when approaching tough optimization situations.<br /><br />Problems for BusinessTaxRecovery.com<br /><br />In November of 2004, our firm took on the seo marketing for BusinessTaxRecovery.com. The site was being promoted through offline activities and pay-per-click campaigns. No effort had been made to achieve high rankings in Google, Yahoo or MSN.<br /><br />Keyword analysis revealed that combinations of the root keywords, “business” and “tax” were going to be difficult to attack. The primary problem concerned government agencies with web sites. The IRS site, for instance, had roughly 9,680 inbound links and an absolute ton of content. State agencies weren’t far behind. The California tax agency site had roughly 7,000 inbound links and, again, tons of content.<br /><br />For a final nail in the coffin, the client informed us the business was cyclical with the busiest months being January through April when people focused on taxes. The site absolutely had to rank highly during this period. We had two months to achieve results.<br /><br />Gulp!<br /><br />The Solution for BusinessTaxRecovery.com – 140,000 Hits<br /><br />After staring at a Salvador Dali painting for a few hours, we came up with a solution. It involved a combination of internal site page focus, meta tag optimization, link exchange and massive article promotion. The results produced 145,828 hits from January through April, with only 5,000 coming from the pay-per-click program.<br /><br />The first step was to change the focus of the site from the home page to the article page. Jumping the tax agency sites on keywords such as business tax and taxes was impossible in two months, so we didn’t even try. Instead, we decided to focus on the keyword phrase “business tax articles” and bring people into the site through the article page. Meta tags were optimized and a link exchange program undertaken. The key to campaign, however, was a strong article promotion campaign.<br /><br />Since taxes are confusing, it seemed obvious that an article campaign focusing on tax information would meet with success. Boy, did it. Approximately 35 articles were written, published and submitted to article directories. Since the articles were timely, they were snapped up and published. The articles produced direct traffic to the site as well as numerous inbound links because of the link created in the article byline.<br /><br />As for the search engines, we focused on everything but Google. We expected nothing from Google because the major content and meta tag changes would take six to eight months to show results per the usual practices of Google. In reality, it didn’t matter. The Yahoo and MSN search engines produced big time.<br /><br />In mid-January, the site went to number 1 on MSN under “business tax articles.” By the end of January, Yahoo was also listing it as number 1. MSN started listing it at number 1 for “tax articles” in February. The combination of these listings produced a significant amount of traffic, conversions and a very happy client.<br /><br />Can we go on cruise control now? No! With the end of the tax season, the traffic to the articles page of the site has dropped by 75%. Nobody is looking for tax information after April 15th, so this is hardly surprising. The promotion of the article page was simply a short-term solution to a difficult situation. While it should produce traffic during the first quarter of each subsequent year, it is not a year-around solution.<br /><br />Over the next six months, we will focus on the long-term goal of jumping over the tax agency sites for keywords such as “business taxes”, etc. It is going to take a lot of patience, but will eventually produce a significant amount of business for the client.<br /><br />Creativity is often the key to conquering seo situations. Blindly slapping up new meta tags and links isn’t always the best answer. Sometimes, a little pre-emptive consideration can yield amazing results. It did in this case.<br /><hr size="-1"></span></description><link>http://panduanseo.blogspot.com/2011/07/creative-search-engine-optimization.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466783827475015474.post-7297816939968842952</guid><pubDate>Sat, 30 Jul 2011 03:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-07-29T20:15:00.282-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Seo Guide</category><title>Different kinds of Keywords</title><description><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div> <div align="justify"><span class="style2">by: <span>Rakesh Ojha</span></span></div> <span class="style2">Keyword can be classified into three categories :<br /><br />-Single word Keyword<br />-Multiple word Keyword<br />-Keywords based on Theme<br /><br />Keyword(s) are basic raw material used in Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Keyword selection or Keyword Research as it is called technically, where we use special tools to find out a list of Keywords (search terms) searched by targeted audience, recently. Keyword can be single word, two or three words, multiple words and theme based.<br /><br />Lets detail each of these one by one . Understanding these categories of keywords would also help one to decide as to their targeting on specific pages.<br /><br />#Keyword of Single word<br /><br />Keyword of Single word is used to target a large traffic but leads to highly competition category of sites. Keyword of Single word are known as generic Keyword(s) where we target general audience. Keyword of Single word does not help to target a specific page for a specific audience.<br /><br />Although, Keyword of Single word helps in bringing huge traffic but these terms are mostly not relevant these days, as, searchers mostly use two or three keyword to find out their required information.<br /><br />Instead single word keywords are good theme keywords.<br /><br />We can use these primary keyword 5 to 7 times in a web page for good theming according of a site. The inside pages of the site can qualify these themes into product or service categories by adding qualifiers to these theming keywords.<br /><br />Example:<br /><br />Keyword “Services” will produce result of all the web sites related to Services which can be United States Department of Health and Human Services, The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services, direct Services, online Services, offline Services, Indian Services, American Services, food Services, agricultural Services, business Services, free Services, paid Services, etc.<br /><br />#Keyword of Multiple words<br /><br />Keyword of Multiple words is used to target a specific traffic, which leads to high sale, top position in search result listing as well as improves page rank competition. Keyword of Multiple words are known as Specific Keyword(s) where we target a specific audience &amp; not general searcher. Keyword of Multiple words helps to target a specific page for a specific audience.<br /><br />Keyword of Multiple words, more often than not are location specific and related to geographic area of your intended services or products.<br /><br />#Keywords based on Theme<br /><br />Keyword based on Theme are used to target a highly targeted audience, which leads to quick high sale, top position in search result listing as well as boosts page rank. Keywords based on Theme are known as Conceptual Keyword(s).<br /><br />Keywords based on Theme consists all possible primary Keywords related to the web site therefore attracts high traffic of targeted audience. Keywords based on Theme add quality by providing Keyword Rich Text to search engines, which improve results and provide targeted search result listings.<br /><br />Keywords based on Theme are used in each page of web site to focus on a specific topic correlated to a targeted topic or idea (theme). Keywords based on Theme effectively contribute in growth of informative pages for its site focusing on different related topics.<br /><br />About the author:<br />I'm Rakesh Ojha and I have been into SEO field for the last 4 years.

This is especially true for smaller businesses that simply don't have the budget for a big link popularity campaign. But hope may be just around the corner. If a top ten ranking for your primary keywords has been eluding you, then read on!<br /><br />Google manipulates the results<br /><br />Google is trialing an 'enhancement' to the way it displays its results. Instead of showing the top ten results for the exact words you enter, in the trial Google suggests three related results that you might want to check out. Where does it display these suggestions? It shunts (or replaces) results 6, 7 and 8 !!!<br /><br />In this article, I refer to these results as 'intruders'.<br /><br />To see some 'intruder' results in action, search for "piggy bank". Results 6, 7 and 8 are actually 'intruder' results; they're the top three results for the more specific, less popular search, "piggy bank lyrics". Google assumes that people searching for "piggy bank" will probably be interested in results of a search for "piggy bank lyrics".<br /><br />On first impressions, it's tempting to think that this makes it harder to get into the top ten (because now it's really the top seven, and the last two results may be easily overlooked). But it may actually make it easier - especially for smaller businesses. Let me explain why...<br /><br />The advantage for smaller businesses<br /><br />It all comes down to who can rank in the top ten for the most popular searches - like "computers", "cars", "doctor", "pets", etc. For anyone in these industries, a top ten ranking for these keywords is the holy grail. Unfortunately, these sorts of searches are presently dominated by big corporations with hefty search budgets. Most smaller businesses don't even try to compete. Instead of focusing on these hotly contested keywords, small businesses tend to focus on much more specific keyword phrases - like "computers boston", "second hand cars ohio", "female doctor new england", "discount pets for children", etc.<br /><br />But Google's trial may change that. Remember, it's replacing results 6, 7 and 8 of a popular, broad search with results 1, 2 and 3 of a less popular, more specific search. If the trial becomes a standard feature, a search for "computers" might well include three 'intruder' results from a search such as "computers boston". As discussed above, results 6, 7 and 8 are likely to belong to big companies, whereas results 1, 2 and 3 of the more specific search are more likely to belong to smaller businesses. Therefore, when the switch occurs, it's out with the big and in with the small!<br /><br />In principle the enhancement appears to work in favor of small businesses:<br /><br />1) Big business dominates popular / general search results<br /><br />2) Smaller businesses have a greater chance of dominating less popular / more specific search results<br /><br />3) General search results are replaced by specific search results<br /><br />4) Big businesses are shunted out of the top ten by smaller businesses<br /><br />Now I hear what you're saying: "Why wouldn't the big companies simply start optimizing for the more specific searches?" Granted, this is a possibility; but for most big companies, it would be a monumental task. Big companies tend to service a large geographic region, and they typically offer numerous products and services. Even a hefty search budget would be stretched to the limit if it was required to bankroll optimization for every single product, every single service, and every single location. And this is what would be required to dominate all of the more specific results, thereby gaining back their number 6, 7 or 8 position. It's far more likely that they'll simply try harder for a position in the top 5 of the popular/general search. This approach would be less complex and probably more rewarding.<br /><br />The fine print<br /><br />Of course, where Google is involved, nothing is ever that simple. I've oversimplified things above to make the trial a little easier to understand. In reality, the situation is a bit more complex because of the way Google chooses which search the three 'intruder' results come from. Take the "piggy bank" search for example. Google assumes that most users who search for "piggy bank" will also be interested in results from a search for "piggy bank lyrics". This assumption is based on the fact that thousands of other people are searching specifically for "piggy bank lyrics" - in fact, it's one of the most popular searches containing the original term "piggy bank". And that's why it gets the nod.<br /><br />In other words, the intruder results come from popular searches (less popular than the original, but still popular). This means you'd already have to rank highly in a very popular search before you'd become an intruder. So, in reality, the above "computer" example is a little simplistic; the intruder results for "computer" are more likely to be from a search for something like "computers ibm". In reality, the top three results for "computer peripherals boston" are more likely to appear as intruders in a "computer peripherals" search.<br /><br />Conclusion<br /><br />The important thing to remember is that if this trial becomes a standard feature, it will be implemented on all searches. And the more specific the original search, the easier it would be to become an intruder in that search. In theory, it has great potential to help smaller businesses reach the next rung of the search engine ladder.<br /><br />Other examples<br /><br />Here are some further examples if you're interested:<br /><br />Search for "add url"<br /><br />Search for "on demand"<br /><br />Happy shunting!</span></description><link>http://panduanseo.blogspot.com/2011/07/google-manipulates-search-results-boost.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466783827475015474.post-3207326136508419926</guid><pubDate>Mon, 25 Jul 2011 03:42:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-07-24T20:42:00.377-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Seo Guide</category><title>Do-It-Yourself Search Engine Optimization</title><description><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div> <div align="justify"><span class="style2">by: <span>Lois S.</span></span></div> <span class="style2"><br /><br />Search engine optimization, or SEO, is big business.

Bailey</span></span></div> <span class="style2">If you have been unsuccessfully trying to get listed in Google or just hitting roadblocks when trying to get more of your pages listed in Google, then you need to read this short article. I am about to reveal a simple SEO secret that can save you a lot of time, money and effort.<br /><br />Google has a preferred search submission format that it actually asks webmasters to use, It's called a Google SiteMap.<br /><br />Admittedly, creating and using XML is no easy task for anyone who is non-technical or inexperienced with web coding, however there is a site or two on the web that can actually help you create an XML sitemap and then submit it to Google so that this venerable search engine can crawl your previously unknown web site and get you listed.<br /><br />Of course there are no guarantees that your site will get high ranks or that it will meet Google's guidelines for inclusion, so be sure to make sure that your site is properly optimized and meets their guidelines before using these tools.<br /><br />Before I reveal these tools and show you where to go to find out how to use them, let's take a look at the basics.<br /><br />XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a special document formatted created to allow communication between applications and also between organizations. XML is a practical system that structurally defines the format and composition of intricate documents and data such as invoices, news feeds, inventory reports, catalog listings and other complex documents. A seasoned programmer who understands XML can easily create XML applications that know how to pull data from XML sources and then format it for presentation to end users.<br /><br />In the case of Google, this same XML data format can be used to define your site's pages and their position in relation to each other. So for example, your "about_us.html" page is usually connected only one click away from your "index.html" page. When used in this manner to define pages and their positions we are creating what is commonly known as a sitemap.<br /><br />Google says in the own words, "Google Sitemaps is an easy way for you to help improve your coverage in the Google index.

Done right, a content rich website is almost guaranteed to rank highly. But how to get that content? You can write it yourself, but that takes a lot of time. You can pay an SEO copywriter to write it for you, but that takes a lot of money. If only there was another option...<br /><br />What if you could get your content for free? And not just a little bit of content; a lot! What if you could get an almost unlimited supply of keyword rich, expertly written content, specific to your subject matter, absolutely free of charge? Would you snap it up and upload to your site in an instant? Of course you would! Well here's the good news: you can! Read on to find out how you can get a top ten ranking in the search engines without paying a single cent...<br /><br />Yes, content gives you a great ranking<br /><br />Content is king. This is widely acknowledged as fact, but if you need further convincing, consider the following two points:<br /><br />Point 1 - In Google's own words, one of the keys to a high ranking is to "create a useful, information-rich site" (from “Google Information for Webmasters” - http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html).<br /><br />Point 2 - Google insider, codenamed 'Google Guy', advocates a list 26 steps to building a high ranking site. Step 5 of the list says, "build one page of content and put online per day at 200-500 words" (from Brett Tabke's "26 steps to 15k a Day" - http://www.searchengineworld.com/misc/guide.htm, advocated by Google Guy in a WebMasterWorld QA session - http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum30/29727-6-10.htm).<br /><br />But why does content give you a great ranking?<br /><br />I won't go into any further detail about IF Google loves content. I will, however, briefly explain WHY. Google's love affair with content is based on two key attractions:<br /><br />1) Google loves sites with a lot of content because it assumes they provide a lot of useful information. And remember, that's the whole reason Google exists - to help people find useful information. The more helpful Google's results, the more traffic (and revenue) it gets.<br /><br />2) Google loves sites that have a lot of links pointing to them because this means other webmasters hold your site in high regard, and Google assumes this means the content is useful. And naturally, if you create a useful site, other webmasters will link to it because this makes them useful to their visitors (thereby developing site loyalty), and they gain credibility and authority because they're associated with you.<br /><br />So how can you get free content for your website?<br /><br />Three words: 'free reprint articles'. There are hundreds of thousands of people out there writing high quality, helpful, informative articles on virtually every topic imaginable, then giving these article away to any webmaster who wants to publish them on a website. In exchange for the article, the author asks only that you retain the author bio at the end, complete with all links (e.g. "Glenn Murray is an SEO Copywriter and Article Submission Specialist...).<br /><br />To find free content for your website, simply visit any one of hundreds of 'article banks' on the Internet such as http://www.ezinearticles.com, http://www.goarticles.com, or http://www.articleblast.com. Browse or search for the subject you're interested in, then take the article(s) for free. There is absolutely no charge. Some of these sites will even send a regular stream of articles direct to your website (using RSS).<br /><br />Alternatively, you can sign up to any number of article distribution lists and get articles delivered direct to your email inbox. Again, it's absolutely free! Some of the better known distribution lists include http://groups.yahoo.com/group/article_announce, http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/Free-Content, and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Free-Reprint-Articles.<br /><br />TIP: The article banks and distribution lists mentioned above are just the tip of the iceberg. There are hundreds more - just do a search for "free reprint articles", "article submission", "article submission site", "submit article", "article submit site", "free articles", or "free content". You may even find a site or list which only deals in articles relating to your particular subject matter.<br /><br />Why is it free?<br /><br />Why are these authors giving their articles away? Because it helps the author's own search engine ranking. It's a promotional activity known as 'article PR'. As explained above, Google loves sites with lots of links pointing to them. Every time their article submission is published, the author gets another link to their website. In fact, if the article is really good, it may be published hundreds of times. And each time, it's another link to the author's website. Put simply, article submission is a writer's free pass to the top of the search engines. (In this sense, the "PR" in article PR stands for PageRank.)<br /><br />Furthermore, like traditional public relations, article PR also conveys a sense of authority because your articles are widely published. And because you're proving your expertise and freely dispensing knowledge, your readers will trust you and will be more likely to remain loyal to you. (In this sense, the "PR" in article PR stands for Public Relations.)<br /><br />How do I know if the quality is good?<br /><br />It's a process of natural selection. The better the article submission, the more often it will be published, so it's in the author's interest to write and submit articles of the highest quality. Of course, this doesn't always happen, but in most cases, you'll be reviewing the articles before you post them anyway, so if you discover one that's not up to scratch, don't use it.<br /><br />In time, you'll become familiar with the authors who consistently put out good quality content - you may even find enough of them that you don't need to go looking for content from anyone else...<br /><br />Where do I put the free content?<br /><br />Most people put the articles in an 'Articles' or 'Resources' section on their website, but you can put them anywhere you like.<br /><br />How much free content should I use?<br /><br />As much as you want or as little as you want. It all depends on your needs and the needs of your audience. If your audience expects that at least some of your site is original content, then give it to them.<br /><br />But what about the duplicate content issue?<br /><br />It's not an issue!<br /><br />There's a lot of a talk about how Google penalizes duplicate content. The theory is that when the majority of the content on two separate webpages (on different sites) is the same, the one with the higher PR will be shown and the other one will not.<br /><br />Whether or not this theory is true is still a hot topic in search engine circles, but regardless, it doesn't affect people publishing free-reprint articles. When you publish the article, just make sure you have unique content around it. Generally, it's enough to have your own unique introduction to the page (which may be common to all pages), and your own navigation elements, headers, footers, sidebars, logos, images, etc.<br /><br />Conclusion<br /><br />Free reprint articles are a great way for you to achieve a high ranking. And you don't have to pay a cent! So what are you waiting for?<br /><br />Happy reprinting</span></description><link>http://panduanseo.blogspot.com/2011/07/get-top-10-ranking-without-paying-cent.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466783827475015474.post-6454441698705410129</guid><pubDate>Tue, 12 Jul 2011 03:52:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-07-11T20:52:00.109-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Seo Guide</category><title>How my page rank went from 0 to 5 in one update. How yours can too.</title><description><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div> <div align="justify"><span class="style2">by: <span>Joe Balestrino</span></span></div> <span class="style2">Increase Your Google Page Rank!<br /><br /><br /><br />This article will put a damper on web sites that sell information which will supposedly increase your page rank. I may make some enemies here, but this is already common knowledge. In fact, to make sure it worked, I designed a new site just for this purpose. Before you shell out money for an ebook, software, or CD telling you how to do this; read this article. If you achieve great results after following my advice and feel it was worth some money, feel free to write me a check for any amount you choose. I 'll add my own zeros.ƒº<br /><br />Page Rank. We all know what is. We all want to rank higher. Higher rankings mean a lot of things to a lot of people. To web masters it means achievement. They have accomplished a move in the right direction. A high page rank to a website owner is money in the bank. It is also an impressive accomplishment. To other website owners your page rank may be a source of envy.<br /><br />To Google your page rank means quality, importance and relevancy. It lets Google know you are a viable resource and a valuable asset. Google takes your Page Rank and combines it with their text-matching techniques. This, combined with a page¡¦s content and the content of the pages linking to it, determines if your site is a good match. So, a higher Page Rank will certainly help you on Google.<br /><br />As for surfers. Most of them could care less about your Page Rank. In fact, many of them don't even know what it is. However, those that do use it in a different way. Some use it as a way to unofficially gauge your credibility.<br /><br />Ok, I am sure you've been wondering when I was going to tell you about how to achieve a ranking like I did. I went from a 0 Page Rank to a 5. Now, mind you, I did not purchase any links from high ranking sites, or any sites for that matter. I did not launch a link exchange program. I did exchange links with about five directories related to my site¡¦s topic, but that was it. Actually, 97% of my links are all one-way links (links pointing to my site).<br /><br />So, how did I do it? Any ideas? If you know SEO you may already know the answer.<br />Link Farms? Of, course not. We know Google will frown on that method. Did I design or optimize sites and add my URL? Hmmm..Yes! However, that is a small percent of the success. SEO companies don¡¦t usually add their URL to sites they have optimized. Ok, so what else?<br /><br />Content? Yes, content is king as always. Content is what was used to help boost my ranking. But how?<br /><br />I create articles. These are quality articles, just like the one you are reading now. These articles were not generated from any program. I authored the content from my own knowledge and researched over 100 web sites that accept articles in my area of expertise. SEO happens to be a very popular topic. These sites agree to post my articles on their site, along with my url(s). Many of these sites have a decent Page Rank of their own. Their rank will transfer over to my site. Also, as time goes by, those articles will have a PR effect of their own which will transfer to my site(s). Don¡¦t forget, other people may pick these articles up and use them on their site as well. They will also include my URL(s) on their sites. Now, if I do 100 sites a week times four articles a month, that's at least 400 articles a month. The last Google update was 86 days, the longest has been 111. That could lead to 1200 or more links between updates. What will Google think about all these links at once? They¡¦ll love it! Content, quality, one way links. I also promoted my blogs and my website in some of my articles. This way, they too have their own PR generating effect. They also link to my site and my site to them. This, in turn, increased the PR to them as well. At the time of this article and the most recent Google update, one of my blogs went from 0 to 3 and the other 0 to 4 all in the same update.<br /><br />These tips should help you increase your page rank. The hardest part will be creating content related to your field and finding sites that will post your work. You can always hire writers and/or article submission services. Here's to the next Google update.

Of course your content and meta tags must be inline with positive density percentages and reciprocal links. Google then takes your website and performs a mathematic equation and places a numeric value on your website depending on one of the most important features, reciprocal or back links.<br /><br />A back link and reciprocal link are identical. They both say the same thing to the Google engine, that your site should be ranked higher in the order because other people find value in what your website has to offer, thus they provide a link to your site. In turn, you keep a closed loop by reciprocating the favor to the other website by extending the same courtesy of a back link. Thus creating a solid network connection. Google likes to see interconnectivity and will reward your website well for planning it this way.<br /><br />There are drawbacks to the equation. As things change a website that you are affiliated with may drop a hyperlink or a page may get accidentally deleted. When the Google robot goes through your website and finds a dead link it notes that you aren’t keeping good care of your website and punishes your web rank by reducing its point value. If you wish to know what your sites current point value is download The Google Toolbar and search for your website www.yourwebsitename.com in the box and perform a Google web search. Upon reading the full URL, Google will go directly to your site first thus pulling up your home page. There on the toolbar will be a page rank for your website between 1 and 10. 1 being a less visited and noted website and 10 a site that screams traffic 24/7.<br /><br />Some of the individuals you share reciprocal links with may in fact scan all their links for continuity, should they receive a bounce back for a broken link on your website you can be assured you will receive an email from them. Keeping your website in balance with other sites you share links with will keep the Google engine happy. If you go off and add a company that is not Google friendly, meaning they have no back links you may also lose points</span></description><link>http://panduanseo.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-important-are-back-links_10.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466783827475015474.post-7466319671921416696</guid><pubDate>Sat, 09 Jul 2011 03:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-07-08T20:12:00.719-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Seo Guide</category><title>Confused About Google's Index, Link Dampening, & No. of Links?</title><description><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div> <div align="justify"><span class="style2">by: <span>Glenn Murray</span></span></div> <span class="style2">I recently received another 'please help' email from a gentleman named Ian who runs an adventure company in Tanzania (http://www.betheladventure.co.uk ). Ian was concerned about the effect of a variety of issues including indexing and link dampening, and was desperate for help. Unfortunately, he had read some fairly misleading articles in the past, so he had a somewhat mixed up understanding of the factors at play. Because I suspect he's not alone in his concern and confusion, I decided to publish the details of our discussion.<br /><br />Ian's email consisted of several questions. I've listed each separately below, followed by my response.<br /><br />Q: When I search for the number of backlinks to my site using "link:www.betheladventure.co.uk", I see only 23 results. It appears that only 23 of our backlinks have survived Google's dampening link filter. Is there a time delay before they are credited to a site? "<br /><br />A: Firstly, I think you may have the dampening link filter a little confused. According to the dampening link filter theory, your links are found and recognized by Google, you just don't get the full benefit from them until a given period of time has elapsed. The dampening link filter (if it exists) doesn't stop links from appearing in Google's results when you search for them. (The only reason your backlinks might not appear in a Google search is if Google hasn't yet indexed the pages containing the links.) Also, don't worry too much about things like the dampening link filter. For a start, it's far from established / accepted fact. Many well regarded SEO experts don't believe in it at all. Furthermore, even if it does exist, it only affects those businesses with the budget to generate the huge numbers (hundreds or thousands probably) of links reputedly required to trigger it. If your number of backlinks suddenly increases by 20, that's no problem.<br /><br />And secondly, don't believe everything Google tells you. By searching for "link:www.betheladventure.co.uk", you generally only see a small percentage of actual links to your site. The best way to search for links is to search for just the URL "www.bethaladventure.co.uk" , then on the page that displays next, select "Find web pages that contain the term "www.bethaladventure.co.uk" ". When you do it this way, you'll see all the pages that contain your URL. In most cases, the URL will be an active link (or at least it should be, and you should ask them to make it so). When you do this search, you'll see that your site has about 169 links, not 23.<br /><br />Q: Another question is about indexed pages (using site:www.betheladventure.co.uk). I understand this is a record of pages that have been changed. I had 32, it went down to 28 and now this morning it is down to 26. Do they only keep the pages for a month or is there more to the indexed pages than I realized?<br /><br />A: The number of indexed pages is simply the number of pages on your website that Google 'knows about'. Theoretically, the only time the age of a page comes into play is when the page is too young*, i.e. Google spiders haven't visited it yet, or Google hasn't updated its index. As to why the reported number of indexed pages is reducing, I suspect it's just a temporary shift. The number of results in Google's searches varies pretty much constantly.<br /><br />*Actually, technically speaking, it has been suggested that Google is not capable of indexing all 11.5 billion pages currently believed to be online (and the 10 million more that are added every day), and that as it indexes new pages, old pages are pushed out of the index. (This is a very rough description of the theory - if it's happening at all, it's likely to be far more complicated than this.) If this is happening, it may explain why the reported number of indexed pages is reducing. Although I think it's a long shot, a good way to deal with it is to maintain high quality content, to keep increasing it, to keep generating backlinks, and to generate a Google sitemap. To find out more about sitemaps, go to http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/login . To download a free - and very useful - tool for generating a sitemap, go to http://johannesmueller.com/gs/ .<br /><br /><br />I know there's a lot of confusion surrounding these issues, so I hope you've found this exchange helpful.<br /><br />Happy indexing</span></description><link>http://panduanseo.blogspot.com/2011/07/confused-about-googles-index-link.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466783827475015474.post-2712347052722845656</guid><pubDate>Fri, 08 Jul 2011 03:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-07-07T20:14:00.549-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Seo Guide</category><title>Different kinds of Keywords</title><description><div align="justify"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div> <div align="justify"><span class="style2">by: <span>Rakesh Ojha</span></span></div> <span class="style2">Keyword can be classified into three categories :<br /><br />-Single word Keyword<br />-Multiple word Keyword<br />-Keywords based on Theme<br /><br />Keyword(s) are basic raw material used in Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Keyword selection or Keyword Research as it is called technically, where we use special tools to find out a list of Keywords (search terms) searched by targeted audience, recently. Keyword can be single word, two or three words, multiple words and theme based.<br /><br />Lets detail each of these one by one . Understanding these categories of keywords would also help one to decide as to their targeting on specific pages.<br /><br />#Keyword of Single word<br /><br />Keyword of Single word is used to target a large traffic but leads to highly competition category of sites. Keyword of Single word are known as generic Keyword(s) where we target general audience. Keyword of Single word does not help to target a specific page for a specific audience.<br /><br />Although, Keyword of Single word helps in bringing huge traffic but these terms are mostly not relevant these days, as, searchers mostly use two or three keyword to find out their required information.<br /><br />Instead single word keywords are good theme keywords.<br /><br />We can use these primary keyword 5 to 7 times in a web page for good theming according of a site. The inside pages of the site can qualify these themes into product or service categories by adding qualifiers to these theming keywords.<br /><br />Example:<br /><br />Keyword “Services” will produce result of all the web sites related to Services which can be United States Department of Health and Human Services, The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services, direct Services, online Services, offline Services, Indian Services, American Services, food Services, agricultural Services, business Services, free Services, paid Services, etc.<br /><br />#Keyword of Multiple words<br /><br />Keyword of Multiple words is used to target a specific traffic, which leads to high sale, top position in search result listing as well as improves page rank competition. Keyword of Multiple words are known as Specific Keyword(s) where we target a specific audience &amp; not general searcher. Keyword of Multiple words helps to target a specific page for a specific audience.<br /><br />Keyword of Multiple words, more often than not are location specific and related to geographic area of your intended services or products.<br /><br />#Keywords based on Theme<br /><br />Keyword based on Theme are used to target a highly targeted audience, which leads to quick high sale, top position in search result listing as well as boosts page rank. Keywords based on Theme are known as Conceptual Keyword(s).<br /><br />Keywords based on Theme consists all possible primary Keywords related to the web site therefore attracts high traffic of targeted audience. Keywords based on Theme add quality by providing Keyword Rich Text to search engines, which improve results and provide targeted search result listings.<br /><br />Keywords based on Theme are used in each page of web site to focus on a specific topic correlated to a targeted topic or idea (theme). Keywords based on Theme effectively contribute in growth of informative pages for its site focusing on different related topics.<br /><br />About the author:<br />I'm Rakesh Ojha and I have been into SEO field for the last 4 years.

I may make some enemies here, but this is already common knowledge. In fact, to make sure it worked, I designed a new site just for this purpose. Before you shell out money for an ebook, software, or CD telling you how to do this; read this article. If you achieve great results after following my advice and feel it was worth some money, feel free to write me a check for any amount you choose. I 'll add my own zeros.ƒº<br /><br />Page Rank. We all know what is. We all want to rank higher. Higher rankings mean a lot of things to a lot of people. To web masters it means achievement. They have accomplished a move in the right direction. A high page rank to a website owner is money in the bank. It is also an impressive accomplishment. To other website owners your page rank may be a source of envy.<br /><br />To Google your page rank means quality, importance and relevancy. It lets Google know you are a viable resource and a valuable asset. Google takes your Page Rank and combines it with their text-matching techniques. This, combined with a page¡¦s content and the content of the pages linking to it, determines if your site is a good match. So, a higher Page Rank will certainly help you on Google.<br /><br />As for surfers. Most of them could care less about your Page Rank. In fact, many of them don't even know what it is. However, those that do use it in a different way. Some use it as a way to unofficially gauge your credibility.<br /><br />Ok, I am sure you've been wondering when I was going to tell you about how to achieve a ranking like I did. I went from a 0 Page Rank to a 5. Now, mind you, I did not purchase any links from high ranking sites, or any sites for that matter. I did not launch a link exchange program. I did exchange links with about five directories related to my site¡¦s topic, but that was it. Actually, 97% of my links are all one-way links (links pointing to my site).<br /><br />So, how did I do it? Any ideas? If you know SEO you may already know the answer.<br />Link Farms? Of, course not. We know Google will frown on that method. Did I design or optimize sites and add my URL? Hmmm..Yes! However, that is a small percent of the success. SEO companies don¡¦t usually add their URL to sites they have optimized. Ok, so what else?<br /><br />Content? Yes, content is king as always. Content is what was used to help boost my ranking. But how?<br /><br />I create articles. These are quality articles, just like the one you are reading now. These articles were not generated from any program. I authored the content from my own knowledge and researched over 100 web sites that accept articles in my area of expertise. SEO happens to be a very popular topic. These sites agree to post my articles on their site, along with my url(s). Many of these sites have a decent Page Rank of their own. Their rank will transfer over to my site. Also, as time goes by, those articles will have a PR effect of their own which will transfer to my site(s). Don¡¦t forget, other people may pick these articles up and use them on their site as well. They will also include my URL(s) on their sites. Now, if I do 100 sites a week times four articles a month, that's at least 400 articles a month. The last Google update was 86 days, the longest has been 111. That could lead to 1200 or more links between updates. What will Google think about all these links at once? They¡¦ll love it! Content, quality, one way links. I also promoted my blogs and my website in some of my articles. This way, they too have their own PR generating effect. They also link to my site and my site to them. This, in turn, increased the PR to them as well. At the time of this article and the most recent Google update, one of my blogs went from 0 to 3 and the other 0 to 4 all in the same update.<br /><br />These tips should help you increase your page rank. The hardest part will be creating content related to your field and finding sites that will post your work. You can always hire writers and/or article submission services. Here's to the next Google update.
