Make the Article Post Qualified

Post By. FlansPage
On this occasion I will continue the discussion of specific tutorials for beginners blog ya. Quality articles will certainly attract ask visitors / visitor us. but what you are thinking whether we are qualified or not article? normally even when we make a new blog we will use language confused as to what would be in the interest of visitors.

There are some blogs that language might look and seem very familiar. why?
Because maybe that's one way of asking them to draw visitors and look more familiar to visitors. This time I will guide her pal a special beginners (New have a blog / website) are usually confused in making a post / article quality and to make the visitor interested in reading. before his buddy already has a blog right? . Or have not had his blog? If you do not have, must read this one first.

That need to be avoided in making Blog Posts : 
  • Language is ambiguous and convoluted most strongly in the interest by the visitors, because the visitor wants an easy to understand article and easy to absorb. even though sometimes it ends at the end of Copas. 
  • The advertisement inserts each paragraph is to note, because it is one of the things that interfere with our visitors, so visitors we become lazy to read because too many ads. 
  • Too many actually vent vent often applied in the early stages of the manufacture of posting so that we can share experiences as well as to visitors, but if we vent excessive and too long, then the interest of the visitor to read becomes less and eventually left the visitor to our blog. 
  • The existence of a link dead Suppose we make a post titled Download the latest jkt48. nah we should pay attention to the download link that we put it right or not. because the visitor will be very disappointed when they will download and link its dead or could not be opened. 
  • Which language do not go into the discussion point here is, we do not discuss / review in depth article. whereas before we published the post, we have to understand in advance what will we post. usually a language that is not steeped in the discussion as a perfunctory discussion and simply copy and paste. 
  • Copy-Paste This is the most important part of that matters. You like to write an article? like sharing? . Copy paste why? . copy paste reflects the people who do not want to attempt that just want almost instantaneous, honest blogger would feel very upset when people copy paste article and do not state their source link at all. so you do not ever intend to copy and paste because if you intend and do some Copas, then do not hope you can get that you expect. be a good blogger, who has the ethics of writing, had a courtesy, and got hospitality.
It Yang Di consider in making quality articles :
  • Learn first our posting If we do not learn our posts, it will be difficult to account for the articles we write. even if someone were to ask and comment on her tip end it difficult to answer. minimum so we know what we will first post. 
  • Discussion material deep enough depth discussion material is a very desired visitor, because the visitor around the internet not to walk but to seek knowledge. so the matter was discussed in depth (no arbitrary origin). 
  • Take your time to make the article is the part that will bring us quality article. why? . because with time to spare, so we did not mind tercampuri by "the others" in making articles. 
  • The focus in the manufacture of the article. The focus in the article creation is very important, because the focus of the material we will be discussing true and correct, and is not long - winded. 
  • Make at least a picture or short video (If it makes a tutorial) With such it will be helped by our visitors. Maybe just a few that I discuss may be useful, it was little sharing of experience. because I was trying to feel it was a visitor and like what we learn from it so that we can satisfy them. I was still a newbie so still looking for identity in terms of blogging. so let us together as fellow bloggers sharing with sharing will increase our knowledge especially in terms of blogging. Be Bloggers who have had the decency and ethics and also friendly to the visitors who come.

Permalink Contest Seo Blogspot

Post By. FlansPage
What is a Permalink ?
I'll explain a little about the Permalink.
Permalink is a Permanent Link, which is a permanent link URL that follows the structure of writing the blog post title. Permalink is Very Important for SEO but for a very limited Permalink blogspot availability is only 5 megambil first syllable of the title of the post so that when more syllables mentioned above, then there is cutting the end of the post title itself.

Or I Repeat More Clearly A Permalink, or permanent link, is a URL that points to a specific blog or forum entry after a pass from the front page to the archives. Because Permalink remains unchanged indefinitely, it is less susceptible to link rot. Most modern weblogging and content-syndication software systems support such links. Type of other websites using the term permanent links, but the term permalink is most common in the blogosphere. Permalink is a portmanteau word made ​​up of the permanent link. Permalinks are often simply stated so be human-readable.

As demonstrated Say the following :
Title posting : Permalink contest Seo Blogspot
Then the permalink will look to be like this :

Therefore, Blogspot Make friends not to make the post title in excess of 5 syllables, in order to avoid short cuts or words make Permalink Postings title as briefly as possible.

Backlink Directing not only to the main page or the homepage alone, but on every web page. That is, each web page we also have to have Backlinks. An article, although the article is original and unique, but if you do not have a backlink, most likely the article was not able to get a good ranking on the search page. Unless the article is really high quality and I really liked it, maybe the owners can breathe easier because the article to find the article at the top position of search results.

If lucky, we can persist article on page one, but if not, just in a matter of seconds we could article displaced either to the page number. I myself often experience it. The article today indexed on the first page, the next day had changed his position. And it is fair because every time I do the rotation, indexing new blogs and blogs long shift.

The meat in question here is the content of the course should be pithy, witty and useful. How to move a professional writing and selling ebooks?

Designing a form of house building is beginning to realize the dream of building a house. To start writing your ebook can also start the same way, which is designing.

Choosing the Content You Want to Syndicate

Post By. FlansPage
So you’re Interested in Syndication but aren’t exactly sure what you should be syndicating. There’s really no hard and fast rule here. However, keep in mind that anything you plan to Syndicate via RSS should be unique, of value to a given audience, and something that is updated on a regular basis. Some individuals syndicate their content by placing an RSS feed on their homepage. As the website is updated and a new feed is produced, content is sent directly to subscribers. Others choose to provide a feed of specific content pages on their site. The choice is yours.

So How Do you Create an RSS Feed?
All RSS feeds are written using a code type called XML. If you’re not familiar with XML don’t let that scare you. I’ll provide the specific code you need and instructions on what to do with it. To begin, you’ll need to create an RSS file that contains a title, description, and link URL. This information will be used by the RSS reader when individuals subscribe to your RSS feed. I’ve created an RSS feed on my articles page allowing subscribers to receive new articles each time they are published. You can too-simply follow these steps.

1. Go to your Start Menu in the lower left-hand corner or your computer screen.
Click on All Programs and navigate to Accessories. There you’ll find an option called Notepad. Notepad is a simple text editor that you will use to develop your RSS script.
2. Write the RSS script.
which contains information about your website or content page and information about the content you’ll be syndicating. To do so, type the following into Notepad. Replace the bold content with your own website’s information.
<?
This RSS feed should be viewed using an RSS Reader or RSS Aggregator. Firefox users do this by clicking on the "Subscribe to feed" icon.
Feed URL: http://www.marketingscoop.com/
<channel>
<title>Marketing Articles</title>
<title>http://www.marketingscoop.com/articles.htm</title>
<description>Marketing articles covering a variety of marketing
topics</description>

<item>
<title>How to market your small business</title>
<title>http://www.marketingscoop.com/market-small-business.htm</title>
<description>If you own a small business, you probably don’t have a lot to spend on marketing. These simple techniques will help you generate more referrals than you can handle.
</description>
</item>
</channel>
</RSS>

That’s it. As noted above, be sure to replace the content presented in bold type with your own. When you’re done save your file by selecting File then Save As from the top bar in the Notepad window. Note: Name your file with a (e.g., http://www.marketingscoop.com/rssfeed). Be sure not to use any ampersands or quotes in your code as this may cause an error. XML requires ampersands to be replaced in the code with "&amp" and quotes with "&quot." The best advice I can give is just don’t include quotes or ampersands and you won’t have any coding issues.

3. Save, upload, and validate your.
After saving your RSS file via Notepad, upload your. http://validator.w3.org/feed and enter your feed URL. The URL of your feed is simply the URL of the .rssfeed, simply enter your website’s URL, followed by /rssfeed.

4. Place your RSS code on your website.
The best way to do this is to copy an RSS buttonand include a link to the RSS feed you just created. You can grab the RSS or XML image by simply visiting a website like MarketingScoop.com/articles.htm and right-mouse click the image. Save the image (give it a name like RSS.gif) and copy it onto your server. The code should look like this:

<a href="http://www.yourwebsite.com/rssfeed As usual, replace the information above with your own feed link and image link.

5. Subscribe to your own feed.
After you’ve uploaded all of your pages to your live site or testing server, open Internet Explorer and click on your own RSS button. You should be taken to a dialogue box that asks if you’d like to subscribe to your feed. Subscribe and confirm that the feed has been added to your list of RSS feeds (it should appear in a dialogue box on the left hand side of the page).

Note :
If you’re using Firefox, you will only receive a text page when clicking on your RSS button. Those using the Firefox browser can click on a small icon that resides on their browser navigation bar to add your feed. Additionally, the text file contains their feed URL, which can also be used.

6. Ping aggregators to let them know that you’ve created an RSS feed.
In order to let the web know that your feed is up and running, you must give them a ping. This is very easy to do-just go to http://pingomatic.com and choose the appropriate sites to inform. Select blog-related sites if you’re a blog and non-blog-related sites for other content.
Complete the information and ping. A final note :
Whenever you want to syndicate new content, you’ll need to update your.

Another syndication service you can use is Feedblitz. I’ve implemented Feedblitz so that users can receive updates to my blog, article pages, and websites by registering with only a name and email address. Once subscribed, registrants receive an update via email each time I’ve added information to my blog or website. Feedblitz also offers syndication services. This is a great option if you are new to RSS feeds and would like to have your feeds accessible from a single location.

Increase the Ranking Web/Blog With the help of Forum Marketing

Post By. FlansPage
The Internet is an Amazing Place.
If you have a question, about anything, you can usually find the answer online. This is especially true when it comes to Search Engine optimization, Pay-Per-Click, and other forms of Online Marketing. In fact, when searching for an answer to a question via Google or any search engine, you’re bound to find a listing for a blog post or forum post. Forums are essentially large communities where similar minded people share ideas, ask questions, and answer them too.
Forums have been around a long time. In fact, if you visit www.big-boards.com, you’ll find thousands of forums listed. Many of these forums have tens of thousands of members. These communities are large and provide the type of interaction you need to answer any question on a particular topic. Forums have become so popular that I launched my own forum (Internet Marketing Forum) on website MarketingScoop.com. You can find a link to the forum on my secret page or just Google "Internet marketing forum."

The benefit of having my own forum is that I can manage the conversation and take advantage of the many benefits of being a forum owner. However, you DON’T need to own a forum to benefit your Search Engine Optimization. How can you use forums to improve your rankings? The answer is quite obvious. You can use forums to generate inbound links to your websites and blogs. The question of how to do this is what we are focusing on. The first step in any link-building initiative is to find a relevant forum and start posting. You can begin by doing a Google search or by usingbig-boards.com. There are a few things that you need to look for :

• Is the forum related to your niche?
• Is the forum well established? Is it new or has it existed for some time?
• Does the forum have a good Google PR?
• Does the forum seem active?
• Does the forum allow links in your signature? Are the links "Do follow" links?

Once you have researched possible forums and created a list of at least ten that meet your criteria, it’s time to register and start posting. Before you start posting there are a few things you’ll need to take care of. The first is to register for the forum accepting the terms and conditions. This is usually a very simple process that may require a valid email and clicking on a confirmation link. Once complete, you can log into the forum and visit your control panel.

The control panel is the place on the forum where you can set up your preferences and your forum signature. All forums have a control panel which may be labeled as the "CP" or "Profile." This is the area where you control how your forum signature, what shows beneath each post, will appear. Keep in mind that many forums require you to make ten full posts before allowing your signature to show. This is due to the fact that more and more people are using forums to build third-party links to their websites, blogs, and affiliate offers.

Set up your signature to include a link to your website using a keyword phrase as your anchor text. Many signatures allow up to three links but I would limit your signature to two. Use the "|" symbol we discussed earlier so you can include two keyword phrases for each link. Once your signature is set up, it’s time to start posting. Always check the box that says "Display my signature" if available.

To make the most of your forum posting, find threads (questions and responses) about a topic on which you can comment. Having my own forum, I know that many of the posts can be of poor quality. When they are, my moderators may delete them. If you’re going to leave a comment on the forum, make sure it’s a good one. The more valuable your comments, the more staying power they’ll have. Additionally, a number of forums have integrated social media opportunities. This means that if your question or response is of high quality, others may use Social Bookmarks to identify them or share via social media outlets like Twitter and Facebook. Similar to blog commenting, forum posts should be relevant, meaningful, and valuable. This gives your signature links the "link juice" you want.

Always pace your forum posting. The goal is to find ten relevant forums that you can actively contribute to on a monthly basis. I used to spend a lot of time in forums but found that forum posting-although extremely valuable-can be very time consuming as well. A few forum-posting tools out there can aid in making posts, but manual submissions are still the most powerful and require a little work.

I share some of my Outsourcing strategies later in this guide. Outsourcing something like forum posting provides a really good return on your investment. My recommendation is to do the research, set up your profiles and make the initial posts on the most popular niche forums. Once you’ve completed that work you are in a great position to outsource your forum posting activities.

Caution :
A lot of people assume that any time they want to promote a different website or change a signature for future posts they can simply log into their forum control panel and change their signature. The assumption is that changing their signature only affects future posts. This is often not the case. Changing your signature may impact all existing posts already submitted on the forum. As a result, it may be necessary to create multiple accounts so that you can have truly unique signatures that stand the test of time.

SEO Techniques How To Obtain Link Authority

Post By. FlansPage
I actually learned about high authority profile sites by accident. In fact, if it weren’t for my need to experiment, I’d likely have overlooked this effective SEO technique and never had the opportunity to share it with you in this book.

For a time I focused a lot of my energy on affiliate marketing. Even today I make a nice residual income with niche websites where I earn a commission each time a product or service is sold. A couple of years ago I started searching for new ways to sell my own products and generate traffic to my niche websites. In short order, I stumbled upon a forum that included "special offers" from other Internet marketers. I liked the idea so much that I even added this feature to my marketing forum! One of the special offers had to do with a list of high PR websites where you could leave a link back to your website.

I purchased the list and found a bit of a mixed bag. Some of the sites were no longer active or only allowed you to leave a link on a dynamic page-which has little value-but most of the sites noted were legitimate and carried a great deal of authority. Ever since I first discovered this technique of finding and dropping links on high PR sites, which I call Profile Sites, I’ve relied on monthly submissions to help my rankings.

The reason I call these sites Profile Sites is because they are often based on forums, social Media sites, wikis, and other online resources that allow you to include a link with your registration profile. Upon completing your registration, you can include a link that is immediately accessible or available when you leave some type of comment or post on the site itself.

The resource that I currently use, Angela’s links (more information on where to find this fantastic resource and added bonuses at http://myseomadesimple.com/secret.htm), provides me with a fresh list of high PR sites each month for a nominal fee. The sites highlighted often include dot com and dot edu websites. Getting links from dot edu sites is very valuable and hard to come by. Having someone else do the research for you each month to find these authoritative sites is well worth the small investment. When leveraging high Profile Sites, you often get a diversity of authoritative links that you can use time and again. Due to the popularity of some of these sites, registration isn’t always available. However, for everyone that closes, many more high PR sites become available.

A number of SEO tools that I’ve experimented with over the last year integrate profile sites into their process. They understand the value of getting one-way links from sites with authority. My recommendation is that you respect the submission guidelines for these sites when building links. Hitting the same sites again and again, with links pointing to the same third-party websites, may be recognized as spam.
Keep a spreadsheet of each of these sites and their status. I know that each time I launch a new site I keep going back to my list of high authority Profile Sites. You should do some research on authority websites, make a list, and always look for one-way links from registration profiles on high PR websites. Resources like Angela’s links are invaluable.

Seo Tips to Social Media Sites (Including Video)

Post By. FlansPage
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last few years, it’s hard to ignoresocial media. It seems that every day existing social media sites are getting larger and new ones are cropping up all over the place. This popularity is driven by the viral nature of social media. You invite your friends, they invite their friends, and before you know it, the whole world is connected.

I’ve been participating in social media for a long time. A number of social media sites have come and gone over the years, but some continue to dominate the social media space. Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are the leading contenders. Google and other search engines are putting their social media spin on things too and it’s just a matter of time before their social networks are a large part of the mix.

By now you know that I have a one-track mind. That’s certainly true when it comes to social media. One must ask the question, "How can I use social media sites to improve the ranking of my own websites and blogs?" There are two answers to that question and they are very much aligned to what we’ve been talking about in this section. The answer is "links" and "rankings."

Social media links are created when you develop a profile on a social media website like Facebook. If you have a Facebook account it likely includes links of various kinds-links to books you’re reading, products you recommend, and hopefully links back to your websites or blogs. By the very nature of Facebook, it carries tremendous authority. If you are linking to your own website, it passes that authority back to you. When setting up your profile on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, you should always include at least one link back to your website and other digital assets.

Facebook.
Let’s begin with Facebook. Signing up and getting started with Facebook is very easy. Visit the home page and complete the basic information then click, "Sign Up." Once you register, confirm, and set up your profile, you’ll be able to take advantage of everything Facebook has to offer. When registering, complete all aspects of your profile and seek guidance from friends who are currently using Facebook for tips and guidance on the numerous Facebook features. Learning what to do and how to do it from current users is definitely the quickest way to get up to speed.

Keep in mind that your profile name will be visible in Facebook, so choose your naming convention carefully. This is something you’ll want to give some thought to. Don’t worry though. In addition to setting up an account under your name, you’ll also be able to create a company profile (Fan Page). This gives you added visibility and the opportunity to add links that point to your website. Additionally, you can post other links on your "Wall."

The true SEO value of Facebook is in building a network and asking others to post or share your links on their profile pages, Wall, or on their own digital assets, such as blogs and forums. Over time, your profile, and the links distributed by those in your network are what create SEO value.

Twitter.
The concept of Twitter is pretty unique. After registering and setting up a profile, you create short posts of 140 characters or less online or using your cell phone. These posts are visible to everyone who is following you as well as those viewing a particular thread. Threads are visible using a hashtag. Hashtags are identified by the pound sign "#" and appear before a phrase (ex: #SEO). If I’m subscribed to "#SEO" for example, I’ll be able to view anyone’s Tweet that is followed with #SEO thanks to this hashtag feature.

Using Twitter for SEO is also a two-part process. The first part is to include a link to your website from your Twitter profile. After logging in to your profile, click on the "edit your profile link" and "Profile" from the top menu. You will see a location for your web address. Enter your URL there. Once you start building Twitter followers, and they link to your profile, this will improve the authority of this link.

The second way to use Twitter for SEO is to build a list of Twitter followers. You can do this by sharing your handle (example: @mfleischner) on your blog, in your marketing messages, on your website, and so on. You can also use some pretty neat tools that automate the following process for you, building a large list of followers relatively quickly. For a listing of the Twitter software I use to manage my Twitter account, visit my secret page. Many individuals set up automated following. That means if you follow them, they will follow you back. You can start following individuals of interest manually or use automated software to do so. Although I don’t recommend this for everyone, if you are just starting out on Twitter, taking advantage of automated following is a great way to build a list quickly. Once you have a list of targeted followers, you can make them aware of valuable content and features available on your website. Always make your content easy to bookmark and share with others! Using Twitter to drive followers to your website is just the beginning. Once there, your site needs to force an action, moving them into a sales funnel or giving them the option to bookmark or share content.

It’s essential that you consider what type of content you’ll deliver on Twitter. I’ve built a following of more than ten thousand people by providing helpful SEO-related tips and strategies on a regular basis. Focus on your niche and "Tweet" about an area you know a lot about.

YouTube.
Begin by creating an account. Once you register, you’ll have a number of options available to you. Click on your username and select "Account." If you click on "Profile Setup" in the left margin, you’ll see a place to enter your URL. In addition, each time you upload a video, you can enter a description. When writing your descriptions, always start with your URL in the beginning. Doing so makes the link visible and active.

One of the best ways to promote your video and, therefore, your link, is to tell others about it. YouTube has a subscribe option so once you learn more about YouTube and create a "channel," you can drive your visitors directly to your videos. Once there, visitors can take advantage of a number of rating options. You can also customize your channel with various features including comments, subscribers, and so on.

YouTube videos are ranked by the number of subscribers, "Likes," and comments. Whenever you produce a video, send a link to your list, post a link to the video on your site, and encourage users to comment. This can help your ranking in Youtube and may encourage third-party websites to embed the video directly into their content. Sharing and embedding videos means more links to the video itself, which in turn creates more link juice. Over time the number and quality of links pointing to your site, through your Youtube link, gain authority which helps your rankings.

If you’ve never created a YouTube video, don’t despair. There is a great deal of quality video on YouTube and Vimeo that show you simple ways of creating professional looking videos. Spend some time learning the art of video making or just use your webcam. Publishing videos is relatively easy and video production doesn’t need to be complicated. Once you know how to produce a simple video, you can fuel your link-building efforts in a powerful way.

Social media can be a great way to build quality third-party links that add value to your own website or blog by passing link authority to your digital assets. If you aren’t actively engaged with social media, get started today. The sooner you become active with social media the faster you build authority and the more value you create for SEO.

Google Places SEO Techniques

Post By. FlansPage
Any SEO Guide would be remiss if not mentioning Google Local. Google’s localization strategy is in full force and seems to be integrated into more and more search results. Most people don’t fully understand Google Places or realize how they can use "Local" to achieve first place listings and top placements.

The first step is to register for a Google Places account. Start by going to places.google.com and registering. When you do, complete as much information in your profile as possible. The key to showing at the top of a local search results isn’t necessarily distance or an alphabetical listing. Google is searching for relevance.

Relevance is created with a comprehensive description of the services you offer. Even if you’re an online business, you should be developing a Google Places profile and providing as much information as possible. Additionally, you’ll want to take advantage of all the features provided by Google Places. This includes the ability to add photos, reviews, and videos. Google also allows you, using the Google Tags option, to provide special offers or coupons to those who visit your profile.

To optimize your Google Places profile, add as much content as possible. Repurpose videos you’ve created-no matter how basic. Add photos of your business. If your business is simply online, then add photos of your products, screenshots of your website, or any other pictures that are relevant to your business. The final step is soliciting reviews.

Online reviews are driving the Internet. Look at businesses like Amazon.com and it’s clear that reviews are an essential part of any online or offline business. The best way to solicit reviews is to ask anyone of your satisfied clients to post a review. Make it easy for them by providing a link in a follow-up email or posting a message on your website. It’s OK to have a mix of positive and negative reviews. This makes your business appear credible and people have come to expect positive and negative experiences with any business.

A quick word on ethics :
Don’t bother paying others to write reviews for you-it’s dishonest. Personally, I have found that when you ask your customers to write reviews, you’ll get plenty. And, the majority of the reviews will be positive. Instead of spending energy trying to bump up your reputation artificially, engage your customers and website visitors.

Using Google Places doesn’t take a lot of work and is rather easy to implement. I’m sure you can buy a book or pay for a Google Places instructional program. Personally, I don’t think Google Places is all that difficult to learn or use. Before you spend your money, register for an account and implement the techniques I’ve already mentioned.

Once your account is up and running, continually add content when appropriate and invite others to complete reviews. The more content you add to your listing (Keyword rich of course) the higher your Google Places ranking will be, and the more link juice you’ll receive.

Give People a Reason to Link to Your Website

Post By. FlansPage
One of the best ways to attract one-way links to your Website is to promote free content, such as news or articles, white papers, free tools, and so on, via your own website or blog. This is the inverse of the link-building strategy we’ve been discussing where you actually push content to other websites or blogs. Using this strategy, you are creating valuable content and subscribing to that old adage, "If you build it, they will come." It might sound cliche, but thanks to social media and the web, you can attract users to your website (and links) by having something of value to offer. If you provide something of value, other websites will start linking to you, giving one-way links that can dramatically improve your Search Engine Results.

Personally, I like to create article collections that provide a wealth of information to website browsers seeking information. For example, I’ve developed a posting of marketing-related articles that I have written during my professional career, placing them in a special free articles section of my website. There are a number of other websites linking to this resource, and as a result, I’m ranked number one for the terms free marketing articles and in marketing article-two highly trafficked and sought after terms in the marketing niche. I make sure to add new articles on a regular basis to keep the content fresh. Doing so encourages other sites to create links to the content from their own websites.

Another suggestion is the Production of a small Promotional Ebook. If you’ve ever downloaded a book electronically from the World Wide Web, you already have experience with ebooks. When users know they can get something, even a small promotional ebook for free, they tell others. This creates a "viral" effect that is great for attracting one-way links.

If you can create an ebook of your own, regardless of its length, develop it in Word and save it as a PDF. As a last step, post it on your website and make available after browsers provide their name and email address. If you need help with your ebook or would like to leverage the work others have done, search for PLR-related materials. PLR stands for private label rights, and you can often "buy" the rights to completed ebooks, how-to manuals, and the like, for little or no money.

The next step is to offer these PLR ebooks on your website. Before long, others will be linking to you because you’re providing something of value. Just make sure they are linking in the right way. On your web page, encourage people to link to your ebook and provide them with the proper link text (e.g., If you’d like to link to us, please use the following :
<a href="http://www.yoursitename.com" title="your keyword phrase" rel="dofollow">Your keyword phrase</a>
As I mentioned at the start of this section, off-page optimization is the most important factor for improving Google SERPs. Use the SEO Made Simple techniques to build quality links to your website and watch your search engine rankings soar! All of these Off-page Optimization Techniques, when applied consistently over time, significantly improve Google SERPs and results on other major search engines. After implementing the various off-page optimization methods we’ve covered, select those you are most comfortable with and apply on a regular basis.

How to Outsourcing SEO Projects

Post By. FlansPage
After many years of Creating Content, Optimizing Websites, and spending countless hours Building Links to my many Websites and Blogs, a good friend and Internet guru turned me on the concept of outsourcing. Personally, I never really trusted anyone with my web properties or SEO and still tread lightly. However, over the past couple of years I have found a couple of good outsourcing partners that I use to support the search engine optimization of my own websites and blogs – and so can you.

The concept of outsourcing is simple. Find resources to do repetitive or time-consuming tasks at a low cost. While they are focusing on "getting it done," you can focus on new projects, revenue-generating activities, and other work.

I used to think that outsourcing was only for large companies. To be honest I had many false perceptions about outsourcing and the types of individuals that support outsourcing-related jobs. The reality is that you can find a number of highly qualified, intelligent individuals who are willing to complete work at a much lower cost than it would be in your own country. I’ve used freelancers in India, Sweden, and the Philippines for programming, link building, and administrative tasks.

Whether you are working on a single website or twenty, I recommend learning more about the opportunity to outsource specific tasks. There are a variety of resources that allow you to find just the right person to support your SEO. My personal favorites are Desk, eLance, and UpwardSEO.com. There are many others available such as Getafreelancer.com and Guru.com but I’m partial to the first few because of their size and my personal experience with them.

Here’s how Outsourcing for a typical SEO project might work. You begin by defining tasks that you want to complete on a weekly or monthly basis. After creating a list, spend some time thinking about what you can handle on your own and on what you will need support. Said another way, what should you pay to have someone else do versus doing yourself?

By spending time up front to determine which tasks should be outsourced and which you can handle on your own, you are more likely to choose the right outsource partner. Investing quality time in this process will pay huge dividends down the line.

As an example, let’s say that you want to outsource forum posting or blog posting. The first thing you have to ask yourself is how effective an outsourcing partner can be with either of these tasks. For me, I’d say that forum posting is probably easier for an international person than blog posting. Blog commenting requires an individual to read a blog post (in a language they understand), find an entry to comment on, and write a well-articulated response in the appropriate language. This increases your chances of having a comment "stick" and therefore requires some level of expertise.

Forum posting, from my perspective, requires some of the same skills as blog commenting, but not always. I could likely find dozens of IT-related blogs that talk about programming languages and anyone with a little HTML or php experience could write a post or comment on a thread. Seek out an outsource partner who has experience with forum posting in general and specific content knowledge to be effective.

While they are doing the heavy lifting on forum postings every month, I’ll focus on other high-value SEO tactics like article writing and article spinning which requires a native speaker and someone with a good grasp of the subject matter. Article writing, spinning, and distribution are best done "in house." But seeking out tools to help you with this process is advised. Between outsourcing and the use of semi-automated tools you can dramatically reduce the time it takes you to complete optimization activities.

Once you have a list of tasks that you want to outsource, it’s time to find a provider. If you have programming needs I recommend using eLance.com. There you can post a project and have multiple providers bid on your job. Read through reviews, samples of work, and so on to determine which vendor can best meet your needs. Overall I’ve had a very positive experience with eLance and the providers available through their network. That doesn’t necessarily guarantee success. My advice is to approach outsourcing as a work in progress. Keep experimenting with different vendors until you find the perfect match. In time you’ll have a short list of affordable vendors you can use for virtually anything web related.

If you are looking for freelancers who can support your search engine optimization activities like link building, I recommend using Upward SEO or oDesk. Start with a clear understanding of what you need done, by when, and at what price. Both sites offer a very robust search that helps you narrow down candidates rather quickly. Contact the individuals you are considering and ask them to do a small assignment for you. If they are successful, consider hiring them on a regular basis. Again, this takes some work, patience, and experimentation. Once you find a valuable resource, you’ll lighten your burden and increase productivity at the same time.

As your business grows and you know more about SEO, I highly recommend outsourcing. It does take some initial work and research to find the perfect outsourcing partner, but I’ve found qualified programmers for as little as $15/hr, and individuals to help with SEO tasks related to my own sites for less than $4/hr. Not only is the quality of work excellent, but affordable as well. This allows me to focus on bigger and better projects and have more free time to spend with family and friends—a real priority in my life.

Automated Tools, Shortcuts, and Other SEO Blunders

Post By. FlansPage
Now that I’ve shared the link-building methods I’ve used to successfully achieve top Search Engine rankings, and build a number of online businesses, I thought I’d cover some of the do’s and do not’s you should consider when implementing any search engine optimization campaign.

For starters, let me remind you that this is a marathon not a sprint. This is something I’ve shared with all of my consulting clients who either expect instant results or don’t have a full grasp on how Search Engine Optimization works.

If you want page one listings in twenty-four hours, I can do that for you. All I would need to do is find a keyword phrase that isn’t all that competitive and shows listings for press releases, articles, or social media on page one of Google. Then I’d put a link on my high authority blog with the keyword in the title or send out a press release from a site that already displays a result on page one. But what’s the point? Once indexed, the corresponding listing will be there for three to five hours and then vanish as quickly as it arrived. SEO is not about creating a flash in the pan but rather applying search engine optimization best practices that result in top rankings that last with little or no maintenance. If you can accomplish that goal, everyone wins.

To get to the top you must pace your link-building efforts. In the next section, I’ll actually show you how to do this. Again, build links too quickly and you’ll get penalized. Build them methodically over time, and in the right way, and you’ll achieve lasting results. Always keep the long-term in mind when it comes to SEO. I can tell you from years of SEO experience that when you start an active link-building campaign you may experience what’s known as the "Google Dance." This is when you see your results shoot up one day, disappear the next, and bounce from position to position. This is actually a good sign. It means that Google is acknowledging your link-building activity and trying to award your site with an appropriate search position. Also remember that it’s common to see little movement during the first few weeks or months of link building. Stay the course though. Upward movement of search position can happen quickly and significantly. Often times you have to prime the pump before you see results. All I can say is have faith in the methodology because it works. Optimizing your web pages and building quality inbound links produces results.

The other area to consider is link diversity. More often than not, you are going to find one link-building technique that you prefer above all others. This is natural and occurs with almost everyone. Nonetheless, you have to remember that Google is not just looking for inbound links; they are also looking at link diversity. You need to focus on attracting links of all kinds, not just a specific kind. Articles, blogs, forums, etc. all matter. Always seek to build a diverse set of inbound links versus putting all your eggs in one basket. If you were to focus on a single link type and Google changed their algorithm and devalued those links, your SEO efforts would become meaningless. Spread the risk and show Google that sites of all kinds are linking to your online resources.

One area that you should always be cautious of is full SEO automation. As mentioned previously, I’ve experimented with link building automation tools, and nine out of ten times they hurt your rankings. Either the tools themselves are flawed or, if functional they can easily be misused. Don’t fall prey to the dozens of vendors who promise search engine optimization automation. I confess that I do use a few automated tools but in a very limited way—to help me manage the dozens of websites and blogs I’m optimizing for at any one time. However, none of these tools handle 100% of the task. Rather, they are semi-automated and require interaction.

Some automated tools, which are more focused on keyword research or monitoring, are safe to use. For example, the one automated tool I do use religiously is Google Alerts. Set up alerts by visiting Google.com/alerts to see which sites are picking up and posting your content. Keyword research tools are also very helpful for reducing the time it takes to select strong keywords for your optimization efforts. You can see all of the tools I approve on my secret page.

The final area of caution is trying to be a lone ranger. When I started in SEO there wasn’t much of an SEO community. Today, tens ofthousands of people either make a living with search engine optimization or at least participate in SEO-related discussions on a regular basis. I encourage you to reach out to others in the community via forums and other online resources to ask questions and join the discussion. This is why I created the Internet Marketing Forum—to help streamline and build your knowledge of Search with like-minded individuals.
