Three simple steps that helped to double the site traffic in a month.

1. First, I made the most of Technorati tags. I tagged every key word in all my posts. Initially I did this by hand but then I discovered a WordPress plugin called SimpleTags that made the work a whole lot easier. I found that by tagging my post efficiently they were getting a lot more attention than their untagged counterparts, and as an added advantage I was getting focused, quality traffic to the site!

2. I leveraged my existing site. I have been running my business site for a few years and that was getting modest level of traffic that was significant to my blog - so why not try to make some of that to my new blog! I placed a few FeedBurner title animator blocks on some of my most popular pages and after a day or so I noticed a major increase in traffic for 5 minutes worth of work on my part.

3. Finally, I made efficient use of trackback links to popular sites. If I remark on a post on another site I would make sure that I set up the suitable trackback for it. The results from this are varied depending on the site and post that you are linking to but since I liked to remark and work together with the wider blogosphere anyway, it was free traffic!

Google is all on linking. If you want to grab a top spot in Google's search results you must link like a pro. Linking is a lot easier today than it was ago. Experience has taught us a lot and with the information here you won't need to be anxious about endless trial and error. Let's take a look at the linking strategies that Google give you the most credit for...

Link Strategy 1: harvest the Most Benefit from Anchor Text

You perhaps know that anchor text is the clickable word that makes up a hyperlink. But what you may not yet fully grasp how powerful anchor text is. Do a simple experiment...

Go to Google.com and look for "click here". Did you get a link for Adobe Acrobat Reader at 1st number? Why is that? Verify the page. They have no mention of "click here" anywhere on the page.

Why does it rank number 1 on Google for "click here"? It's all due to anchor text. More particularly, it's since the countless pages that have "click here" as anchor text that will links to Adobe's Acrobat Reader download page.

Did you observe how many opposing pages there are for "click here" on Google? Almost Two Billion! Anchor text is really important. Here are a few rules to get the most from yours...

A. Use your three important keywords for your anchor text. Particularly, you're most important word 60% of the time; you're second important keyword 25% and your third keyword 15%. That is for every page you link to.

B. Use "long tail" keywords when suitable.

C. If your anchor text is element of a paragraph, like a signature block, make sure the surrounding text is optimized for the keyword you desire or close variations. And make sure that the text is varied. You need to have plenty of versions of the surrounding text block so Google doesn't ding it as duplicate content.

Link Strategy 2: Make Your Target URLs Laser correct

URL accuracy is extremely important. Be sure to use the same URL whenever you request for a link. Though a URL link beginning with "http" or "www" may resolve to the same webpage, Google looks them as different destinations.

Find out for yourself? Go to Google.com and enter "Links: https://" followed by www... any domain name you want. This will offer you the inbound links for that particular domain.

OK, now jot down the number of links. Now try it again WITHOUT the "www." And see the number of links. Again try it a third time with the "www" but NOT the https://". Do you get different numbers? This is for the reason that Google sees them as different link destinations.

Link Strategy 3: Go ahead of Reciprocal Linking

Reciprocal links aren't enough anymore. Google is now discounting the importance of simple link swaps so that reciprocal links alone will not do the trick as they used to. With a little time or money or both, you could have the best links imaginable.
The two fastest and least expensive ways are submitting your site to directories or paying a link service, except NOT a reciprocal linking service. Let's begin with directories...

Links from directories might not be all they used to, but still help your SEO efforts. There's a page I like to test out that has the top directories listed as well as links to the site, their GRP, cost and more; StrongestLinks.com

You could click on the column headings to sort by any type you want. This makes finding the top GPR sites quick and easy. This site also seems to have some sort of paid membership obtainable, but I use the free link and it does all I need and more.

Important Note: There is also a third possible risk that comes from link farms, sometimes very similar to certain link services. That risk is having so many inbound links upcoming from a single IP range (Internet Protocol address). Google HATES this and would discount all these links, or worse.

As for reciprocal linking services, I suggest you to avoid them. However there is a good solution called "3 way linking" that will still allow you the set it and forget it option. Here's a service I've had great results with...

3WayLinker.com will not link sites back to each other reciprocally. Instead it will create a series of one way links that are purely counted as inbound links by Google. Even more it helps to eliminate duplicate content in your link text and make sure all the inbound links are from a wide range of IP addresses.

Here's how it will work... Site "A" links to site "B". Site "B" links to site "C". And then site "C" links to site "A". So each one is a true one way link. This also gives the system more choice regarding which sites form a group. With reciprocal links, if both the sites use the same hosting provider, there is a high chance that you will be linked within the same IP range. With three way linking this problem could be eliminated.

So to recap,
1. Get the majority out of your anchor text;
2. Be very reliable with your link URL, and
3. Do more than reciprocal linking.
Now go and get that top spot you've been after!

A search engine functions, in the following order

1. Web crawling
2. Indexing
3. Searching

Web search engines work by storing data about numerous web pages, which they reclaim from the WWW itself. These pages are reclaimed by means a Web crawler, a robotic Web browser which follows each link it observes. Exclusions can be made by making use of robots.txt. The contents of every page are then analyzed to resolve how it must be indexed. Information about web pages is store in an index database for use in later query. A few search engines, like Google, store all or portion of the source page and data about the web pages, but others, such as AltaVista, store each word of all pages they find. This cached page always hold the real search text because it is the one that was actually indexed, so it can be especially useful when the content of the modern page has been updated and the seek out terms are no longer in it. This problem may be considered to be a placid form of linkrot, and Google's usage of it raises usability by gratifying user view that the search terms will be on the return webpage. This satisfy the principle of least amazement since the user in general expects the search terms to be on the returned WebPages. Increased search relevance make these cached pages very helpful, even ahead of the fact that they may contain information that may no longer be available in another place.

When a user enter a query into a search engine, by using key words, the search engine examines its index and provide a list of best-matching web pages according to its criterion, generally with a small summary containing the document's heading and at times parts of the text.

The robots.txt file is an ASCII text file that has specific information for search engine robots about particular content that they are not permitted to index. This information's are the deciding factor of how a search engine indexes your site pages. The universal address of the robots.txt file is: www.domain.com/robots.txt. This is the first file that a robot visits. It picks up instructions for indexing the site content and follows them. This file contains two text fields. Let's study this example:

User-agent: *

Disallow:

The User-agent field is for specifying robot name for which the access policy follows in the Disallow field. Disallow field specifies URLs which the specified robots have no access to. An example:

User-agent: *

Disallow: /

Here "*" means all robots and "/" means all URLs. This is read as, "No access for any search engine to any URL" Since all URLs are preceded by "/ " so it bans access to all URLs when nothing follows after "/ ". If partial access has to be given, only the banned URL is specified in the Disallow field.

Effective link building is a complex affair and can be a tremendously time consuming and difficult task. However quality links are extremely powerful and a steady flow of incoming links is necessary for any website hoping to struggle in the search engine marketplace.

Deep Linking Google will provide more weight to a site with 500 links all pointing to dissimilar pages on a site than it will a site with 750 links all pointing to the homepage.

Varying Anchor Text Many webmasters consider that the more keyword rich anchor text links to the target page the improved. As discussed, when sites acquire links naturally they have little control over where the external site links to. This is the same for the anchor text of usual links i.e. the webmaster has little manage of the anchor text of inbound links.
It is highly likely that a website with compelling content will acquire links from a diversity of these sources. It will have press releases announcing new content, articles reviewing the site, listings in trust directories and communities will be discussing the site in Blogs and forums.

The reason why Google is the most winning search engine in the world is because they provide the best search results; pages ranked by concrete value. That value is a combination of content and links, with links being the more important factor. Here are some tips that will help you to take full advantage of Google's love of linking...

1. Link deep and with significance

Google figured out that a link to a homepage is good if that page has the information for the visitor needs. If an individual clicks a link for "chocolate chip cookie recipe" and ends up on the home page, which doesn't have it, Google considers it as a wasted link. If the link leads to the page contain info on the "Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe," even five levels deep, the link will have huge value to the visitor and to Google.

Want proof? You've ever used Google's Ad Words pay per click service. They will not even accept PAID links to pages that are not relevant for their visitors, despite of what you are willing to pay per click.

2. Utilize Absolute Links Internally

Absolute links are one with a fixed full URL. There's a different kind, called "relative" links that skip the first part of the domain and remain "relative" to the file constitution. Here's the absolute link to Google Ads page from Google's homepage: "https://www.google.com/intl/en/ads/"

It might look like as a relative link: "./intl/en/ads/"

Absolute links aid your SEO efforts and relative links don't.

3. Employ Keywords in Anchor Text

Use related keywords in your link anchor text Forget about "Click here" you see on so many sites. Not only it helps your ranking, also it lowers the relevancy of your actual keywords since Google believes that if a word is important enough it will be used as part of a link to get the visitor where they want to go.

4. Pursue the 1% solution

Make not more than 1% of your page text into links. And don't overuse the same keyword text for links. If you have three mentions each of three different keywords, use each just once in a link.

Example: If "chocolate chip cookies" is your chief keyword you might use "chocolate chip cookies" as the anchor text for one link and "my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe" for another link.

It's also a good to use 10 Links Max per page whether you have 1,000 words or more on that page.

5. Adjoin a Link Failsafe

This is simple and almost nobody does it. Links get broken sometimes because we moved a page and sometimes it has nothing to do with anything we did. The solution is to make a custom 404 page that looks like any other page on your site and have simple note like "We're sorry we cannot find the page you are looking for. However, if you love cookies of all kinds we think you'll find exactly what you want by clicking on one of the following links..."

6. Get the most excellent Links Possible

This is very important often overlooked since it could be difficult and time consuming job. Finding the finest possible inbound links is the most important thing you can do to make the number one spot on Google.

Here are three tips to minimize your time and effort as giving you results SEO experts charge an arm and a leg for.

A. Get scheduled in directories.
Submit your site to top directories like Jayde.com and DMOZ.org. If they link to your site you would have great relevant inbound links and instant credibility with Google.

Here are some great free directories starting with the best… dmoz.org, jayde.com, webworldindex.com, turnpike.net, and directoryvault.com. Yahoo is vital but charges $299 for commercial site inclusion.

B. Use "Special Commands" to perform the legwork for you.
The best linked sites could be easily found with a search command called "allinanchor:"Go to Google and type "allinanchor:keyword goes here". Now hit Enter and you see the sites that have the maximum relevancy for keywords used in anchor text. Look for any competitors and outrank your site.

Now take the URL and use this command "link:www.theirdomain.extension". This will show you every sites linking and internal pages linking back in.

In short, these two gives you an inside look at accurately how the competition does as it with the results they get. This is huge!

C. Use high-quality SEO software whenever possible.
If you could afford to spend one or two hundred dollars to save enormous amounts of time and get professional results, it's fine worth it. Like many SEO professionals whose livelihood depends on results, I was using SEO software to get top search engine placement for years. The best ones help you to identify great link partners and also to contact them and make sure they don't cheat you. I use SEO Elite and still amazed by all it can do.

If possible, get a tool that does rank checking and reporting. Once you start check rankings so often and an automated tool will save you time. I bought SEO Elite chiefly for rank checking then discovered it was worth as linking tool as well. So any tool you use, get much out of it as you can.

It's a general trend that internet marketers will do anything they to get the e-mail address of the people visiting their site. Online, you have a small window of chance to convert a visitor into a client and if they're not prepared to buy whatever they're browsing on your site, at least find out whom they are so that you could try a various sales approach on them on another day. Just because they are not concerned in what you're selling today will not mean you can't find something else to tickle their fancy.

There are a lot of ways to do this such as:

- present a free report with information they'll find valuable
- Ask them to go for your newsletter or subscribe to your website for update
- plot them with entry into a free draw for a prize.

Once somebody has signed up you've got a valuable e-mail address that you could use to build your list of potential customers. Once you get that e-mail address, you should be very careful with it since otherwise it won't do much for you.

How can you stay out of the spam filter?

It's an excellent idea to have someone validate before you give away anything. Many will put a false e-mail address just to get something for free. You could involve them to confirm by receiving an e-mail from you and clicking a verification link. Remind them to check their junk folder and if they spot your message as not Spam, their email software can then automatically whitelist you so that you do not land in the spam folder in future. By requesting verification, you also make sure that you are getting a real e-mail address.

Autoresponder software is a good investment for anybody marketing online. Buying a package AutoResponsePlus or something related would help you manage easily your mailing lists. The thing is, once you have a mailing list in place and a plan that include autoresponders, you should work on your email content and deliverability.

Each contact you make in future with prospective client should do two things:

1) The e-mail needs to present them something precious otherwise they'll unsubscribe. Give information or tips that will have that person anxious to open future emails from you.
2) You require a call to action line at the end that will entice them to do something you need after they close the email. This could be to visit your site with a handy link, sign up for another service, refer their acquaintances to you or even offer a purchase link so they could buy what you're selling.

Deliverability is certainly a key factor. You need to know that your e-mails arrive at their recipient's email box so here are a few things you can do so as to increase the probability of your target audience actually opening your e-mail. People are fed up with Spam and using all kinds of techniques to ensure they're not having to go through spam to get to the important e-mails.

People use domain keys and SPF records so that they are not getting phishing e-mails by those posing as their bank or PayPal.

People use spam filters to help them build the trust in their incoming messages. Once you make it, you're set.

By getting yourself whitelisted, you could increase the probability of being delivered to an e-mail inbox instead of Spam folder and buying an autoresponder product that's hosted on your server, you could more easily get past Spam filters since if you've done your bit to get whitelisted, you'll be trusted by your recipient's e-mail server which would increase the chances of your brilliant and persuasive copy being taken seriously.

Landing page optimization in Search Engine Optimization (LPO), also identified as webpage optimization, is an Internet market method with the aim of humanizing a guest's acuity of a website. A landing page optimization is a webpage that appear when a latent client clicks on an ad or a search engine result linkage. This webpage will typically show content that is a logical extension of the poster or else link. Landing Page Optimization aims to give page content and manifestation that make the webpage more tempting to target audience.

Landing Page Optimization Bases

There are three main types of Landing Page Optimization based on targeting:

1. Rule-based optimization - The page content is customized based on information obtain about the guest's search criterion, geographic data's of basis traffic, or else other identified generic constraint that can be use for overt non research based customer segmentation.
2. Active Targeting - The page content is attuned by correlating some known data's concerning the guest to expect future events based on prognostic analytics.
3. Social Targeting - The page content is fashioned using the application of publicly available data's through a system based on tagging, referrals reviews, ratings etc.

It's quite common for certain pages of a website to receive disproportionately more inbound links than other pages of the site. These pages tend to rank well compared to other pages of a site. Use Yahoo Site Explorer, Google Webmaster Tools, or your analytics program to find which pages have the most link love and which ones have the least. You can strengthen the weaker pages by pointing some contextual links from the strong pages to the weak ones. It's usually best not to link to them from every page of the site, just from a few that have strong linkage.

Internal links don't carry as much weight as links from other sites, but they can still make an impact.

Usability Benefits

When done right, contextual internal links also can help improve the usability of a site. By adding links to the content of your site that are relevant for the user, it provides another path to the destination you're trying to lead them to. Multiple paths are a good thing in site navigation. Usability studies have shown that users are more likely to click on a link in the text of a page instead of those on a navigation bar, because it feels more natural.

Always we have question that Home page have the Page Rank 5 or 6 but the links pages with 0. The above question asks whether you should deem linking to a PR 5 site when the links page is a PR 0.
This can be explained with few different reasons:
Reason 1 - The links page is newly added and has not had a PR assigned to it in the Google toolbar.
Reason 2 - Links page is not being linked to, or is linked to using a dynamic link.
Reason 3 - links page is hidden deep in the navigation of the website. Some webmasters bury the link to their links page deep within their site, so that the only way a search engine spider will discover the links page is by following 3 or 4 links from the homepage. When this is done, very little (if any) PR flows to the links page.
Reason 4 - Multiple links pages conceal the page your link is found on.
Reason 5 - Check for a robots.txt file on the site which is requesting the link exchange. If there is one, make sure that there is no control that disallows the spiders from accessing the links page. This is a technique that will avert the search engines spiders from visiting the links page, so no PR, and no advantage, is passed to your site.

Over the years, webmasters were told that they should avoid Blackhat SEO techniques that are in connection with their own websites. In general, I can agree with this statement. But, after obtaining a deeper understanding of Blackhat search engine optimization, one can really learn a bit regarding how better his or her own positioning in the search engine results.

White Hat vs. Black Hat Search engine Optimization

Whitehat and Blackhat SEO is a comparison which is a take-off from the old cowboy westerns, where the good guys will wear white hats and the bad guys wore black hats. So, theoretically, we could assume that the Whitehat practitioners are the good guys of SEO, and Blackhat practitioners are the bad ones of the industry.

But, the truth is a bit more opaque than this. SEO is not a pure "white vs. black" issue. Just as in the Mad Magazine's "Spy vs. Spy" succession, sometimes the white spy whips the black spy, and vice versa, sometimes the black spy was successful.

In theory, Blackhat SEO is a kind of search optimization that will eventually get your site banned in the search engines. And sometimes it would.

But, it is really fascinating to me when I visited a website and discovered the world-renowned SEO expert Aaron Wall owns the site. In case if you were not aware of it, Aaron Wall is the owner of SEO Book and is recognized as one of the world's foremost leaders in SEO technique.

Blackhat SEO Is a Learning chance

For me, the study of opposites offers a greater understanding to mankind.
1.One can't know "altruism", until one learns about "selfishness".
2.One cannot truthfully appreciate "wealth", until they have experienced "poverty".
3.One can never announce something "easy", until they have faced something truly "difficult".
4.A "slow" driver will rarely be noticed, until the "fast" driver passes them by.
These are the theoretical ramblings of Bill.

I have always argued that if we want to see light, one should be able to identify the darkness. That is why when I am told to keep away from something; I go to it, so that I could see what it looks like, for the sake of recognizing it.

So, whenever I learn more about SEO, I search out Black Hat SEO forums and sites to learn how to distinguish the dark, when I am in the light.

After all, if you can't recognize the darker side, how you could expect that you protect yourself from it?

One of the elements of site development and SEO that often gets overlooked is internal linking. When done right, you can kill two birds with one stone, and improve both search rankings and usability.

You may be familiar with the fact that when sites link to other sites, search engines pass value for the terms/phrases used in the link anchor text. (Anchor text is the highlighted text in the link.) When working on improving rankings for a site, people usually try to target links from other sites (external links) that have the desired anchor text related to terms they want to rank for. However, contextual internal links can also be effective in helping to improve a site's rankings for targeted keyphrases.

Context is the Key - Link Within Your Content

Your website's text content is filled with opportunities to potentially pass link juice to other pages of your site and to help users find their end destination. To start improving your internal linking strategy, go through your site section by section, page by page, and see where it would make sense (from a user's point of view), and insert some contextual links to other pages that you want to rank better.

Be sure to use the keywords/phrases (in the anchor text) that you would like the destination pages to rank for. In your links to these pages throughout the site, vary it up and don't use the exact same phrases in anchor text, or it will look artificial to both search engines and users. As you are doing this, make sure that the target keyphrases show up on the destination page in some form. Links are more effective if the terms in the link anchor text also show up on the page. One area where this is useful is to help a site rank for both plural and singular versions of a word.

The surrounding text can help too, so you may want to tweak the sentences and paragraphs around your links to improve the contextual value.

When you're finished, get some feedback from outside users to make sure it still looks natural.

Web success is based on the creative performance of the basics, and here your Web-marketing presentation should begin.

1. Web-Audience Response is demanding Communication

Though Web has a lot in common with television there are fundamental differences; it is vital for Web-entrepreneurs to know these differences and similarities. Television and the Web both are communication environments, but televisions are primarily advertising platforms. Of course there are a lot of websites that follow the advertising financial model, but for the average business site, depending upon the third party advertising not only dilutes their marketing message, but also makes for a confusing visual presentation.

Just because your site presents information, it will not mean it's communicating it to your audience in any meaningful way. The way in which you communicate your is as important as the message itself.

2. Web-Audience reaction Demands Content

You must have heard the comment, 'content is king,' but we assume, 'communication is king' since without communication content is meaningless. Your information is basically advertising, as you're in business, and business is about selling something. So the real purpose of your site is to make that advertising message worth listening, and for that, you need to turn it into content.

To twist advertising into content you have to accept that sales take time. You have to be patient. You can't hurry a sale, you first should build confidence; start thinking of selling as a courtship.

3. Web-Audience Response needs Courtship

No one makes a substantial financial commitment without getting some level of comfort with you and what you do, and that require some repeated contact: a courtship.

There lies the similarity and difference between websites and television. The achievement of a television program is based on habituation. If you catch people to tune-in every week, at the same time to see their preferred program, you would be able to keep delivering your marketing message throughout the commercials that pay for the content. In the same way, if you can make your site interesting through the compelling presentation of content, you get visitors, each time gaining confidence and admiration for what you do and sell.

The difference is people admit television commercials as the price that they pay for free TV programming, but the same is not for the Web. People need free information on the Web, so the challenge for website owner is to turn their message into forceful programming that create habituation, just another form of courtship of potential clients.

4. Web-Audience Response also Demands Consistency

You hear the word strategy with little relevance to its exact meaning. Successful companies seldom change their strategies, which are the various methods used to apply strategy in order to secure the ultimate objectives.

Business has to be elastic and open-minded to adapt to an ever-changing business environment by regularly updating tactics, but strategy wants to be a constant, for implementing action. Staying on course requires confidence in the strategy with a watchful eye on the big picture.

Websites that are not anything more than brochures of product that anybody could purchase at the local mall is a tactic that delivers little significance to today's Web-savvy consumer. The new multimedia communication-based Web requires new presentation tactics to successfully implement marketing strategy.

5. Web-Audience Response Demands hope

Successful marketing is, about creating a series of deliverable expectations.
If you are expecting a product to be easy to use since that's what the marketing communication states, then it is easy to use. Effective marketing presentation not only prompts action but they create a set of realistic, deliverable expectations.
Ask yourself, why people suspect politicians, car salesmen, and telemarketers? We know the answer: many would say, and promise, about anything to get your vote, and the result is a disgruntled, cynical voter or customer.

6. Web-Audience reaction Demands Trust

When customers' expectations are met, you create trust, and it is one of the hardest things to attain on a website that lack human connection to the audience.
I can't tell you how many sites I've visited make no effort to civilize their presentations, and consequently their businesses. When you leave for a contact page all that's there is a form to fill-in, with no contact information, it says to people, 'I actually can't be bothered talking to you.' Hiding behind email tells public not to trust you, and if they don't believe you, they are not going to do business with you.

Business is about linking to people. If your website is not having some kind of human element like a video Web-host, audio message, or contact name, how could you expect to connect and build confidence, and trust in your intention to satisfy their needs?

7. Web-Audience Response also Demands Personality

By building trust with your Web-audience you are building your brand and defining your personality. Here again we have dichotomy because personality is a human-based feature, so how can we create a personality and instill human characteristics into an lifeless entity like a business?

Corporate personality will not derive from a logo, packaging, or your site's aesthetic qualities. It is the total of the collective experiences your audience has with your corporation. In the brick world, corporate personality is a product of dealing with people, receptionists, and telemarketers; in short personality is resultant from interaction with real human beings.

Well written website copy could help create personality as long as it is written in a characteristic human voice, but we know 70% of all website text is not read; people usually skip to bulleted points and captions. But the same material delivered by a genuine person either through Web-audio or video, delivers the marketing message in the memorable and compelling fashion, but it will also define the business personality and humanizes the website.

Two caveats are not people, and unless you could afford to employ the creators of the Simpsons to develop your animation, you better forget it; as well as, using yourself as a spokesperson or Web-host is an unsafe practice, and it speaks more to ego than to effective business development.

8. Web-Audience Response also Demands Motivation

At last your website should communicate content that excite and motivate people to do business with you. The ability isn't about what you're selling; it's about how you are presenting it.Motivational speakers, whether in the field of business, personal coaching, entertainment or sports arenas, all convey a similar message; but the ones that really stimulate people to act, are the ones that know how to present their thoughts in a exciting and compelling manner. If you want to motivate your audience to respond, your presentation should be delivered by a real human being: a professional with attraction, charisma, and a distinctive character.

Link doping in search engine optimization refers to the effect and practice of embedding a large number of unwarranted hyperlinks on a website, in exchange for reciprocal linking. It is mainly used when describing blogs, link doping typically implies that a person hyperlinks to websites he or she has never visits, in return for a position on the website's blogroll, for the only purpose of inflating the obvious popularity of his or her own website. Since the search algorithms of numerous web directories as well as search engines rely only on the number of hyperlinks to a website to determine its significance or influence, link doping can effect in a high placement or ranking for the felonious website.

Initially used in an article published in Sobriquet Publication and on Blogcritics.org, link doping has been puzzled with the related practice of extreme hyper linking, also identified as "link whoring". While the two phrase may be used interchangeably to illustrate gratuitous linking, link doping carries the additional implication of deliberately striving to reach a certain level of achievement for one's website without having earned it through solid work.

There are two main definitions for building links:
1. Linking is a communique and illustration signal inherent to the net. Links return contribution, value, significance and influence. If you want a scalable answer for building high-quality links, then offer solid value and assistance to your market, industry and community.

2. There are many different methods to build links. There is no correct method and no best practices; there is only creativeness, cleverness, and hard work.

Links are now a major service. It was not always this method. In the pre-Google era, links were about sharing resources and receiving traffic.

Today, links are about traffic, sure, and they are about sharing - but they are also about search engines.

Relevance is always measured in perspective to a search keywords used in a search. The higher the significance of a keyword to a site, the higher the website would rank.

On site Keyword Relevance

Keywords appearing on your web pages get better your site's relevance to the same keyword phrases. This can be accomplished by carrying out seo on your web site using keyword research, industry-relevant and important keyword phrases.

Keywords in Anchor Text

Keywords appearing in the Anchor Text of an inbound link, irrespective of the Page Rank of the linking page recover your site's relevance to those keyword phrases.

Topic Sensitive Page Rank

TSPR attempts to merge the value of "significance" and "consequence" of a web page, by calculating the "PageRank" of your web page using only "context-sensitive" inbound links.

I got these 5 tips from Adsense team about how to optimize Search Box for Adsense publisher... Following these tips on AdSense for content optimization our Sydney team presented a couple weeks back, now let's see AdSense for search. As you might know, Google recently included Custom Search Engine into AdSense for search to offer additional customization options and enhanced targeting. Whether you have already implemented an AdSense in your site or you're getting started with this feature, we suggest these five optimization tips:

1.Place your search boxes in observable locations.

Incorporate your search boxes in easy-to-find location, like under the header or in your left navigation. Keep the placement of your search boxes consistent in all your pages, so users would know where to look if they need any help finding something.

2.Insert two search boxes to content-rich pages.

For pages with more content or which need scrolling, try to place one search box at the top of the page and one more at the bottom. A box at the top will allow users to do a search immediately, and the box at the base will provide a search option to users who would have just completed reading your content. You could also track and compare the performance of both the boxes by making custom channels.

3.Host search results on your own site.

Inorder to keep users on your pages, you could host your search results and ads inside your individual pages. If users don't find what they're looking for in the search results, they'll be able to navigate to other sections of your site with your site's template. In addition, you can further incorporate your search results into your site by customizing the color of the results page.

4.Add a search box to your search results pages also.

Similar to 3, try to place a search boxes in your search results pages so that users could perform more searches from your site.

5.Customize your commercial locations.

Place your ads at the top and right side of your results pages. This provides added visibility, and our also tests have shown that these locations can develop monetization.

Once you've optimized where the search boxes are placed in your site, do not forget to try new targeting options like keyword refinement and vertical search. To generate AdSense for search code and gain advantage of these features, sign in and visit your AdSense Setup tab.

Dotcoms seem to barely experience this phase, if at all, likely since search engine traffic is a part of the business model and SEO is of interest to all.

When you reach this phase, it's simple to caught up with the busy work and let your relations become a lower priority. Remember the relationships are what you got here and their absence could send you back.

Because of the method that Google's algorithm functions, a page will be ranked high if the sites that has link to that page utilize consistent anchor text. A Google bomb is formed if numerous sites link to the page in this way. Link bomb is used both as a verb as well as a noun.

People are going passionate to get some .EDU backlinks as websites ending in .EDU are considered as trusted sites by Google. Because they are trusted, webmasters believe that a link from such a page with Page Rank is more costly than a link from other pages with the same Page Rank.

There are different ways to get a link to your site from an .EDU site

1) By designing a subject for a blogging engine like Wordpress and hope that an .EDU page will use it.

2) at times on Digital point, in the link sale section there are webmasters that own an .EDU page selling some links on it for a monthly fee or stable blog posts for 15-30$ each.

3) Lastly there is a "dirty way" of getting some .EDU backlinks. Many .EDU websites are not updated or the owner forgot it and many have a blog where you could leave comments to the posts they‘ve made in the past. On an average 1 blog out of 50 will have NO "no-follow" tag for the links in the comments! Though i never used this technique I know it's working if you want some .EDU backlinks.

Recently found a page where it is achievable to get your own .EDU page for a small monthly "donation" of 25$. the holder is making good income by "renting" blogs on his .EDU page and people that lease one of these blogs generally use it to link to their own site and to put up for sale blog posts on it for 10-20$ each.

Beyond the opportunity of getting .EDU backlinks to your site you can register a blog for 25$/month and also sell blog post for 5$ each. Thus by selling 10 posts a day this will be a revenue of 1500-25 = 1475$ each month.

It is easier to sell blog post on an .EDU blog if it has a good Page Rank (at least 4) so you have to spend some time and also some money in the blog first.

This is a new method I revealed newly to make some good money. Maybe I would give it a try in the future and let you know how it will go.

Search engines often utilize the number of back links that a website has as one of the factor for formative that website's search engine ranking. Websites often use various methods (called search engine optimization) to enhance the number of back links points to their website.

There is a huge quantity of factors that determines the quality of a back link. The most significant factor is the page rank of the web page that gives the back link. Back links from top ranked sites are of superior quality. The Second major factor is the topic of the pages which are linked through a back link.

A high-quality back link will certainly make better the page rank of your website.

The NOODP Meta tag could be used to inform a search spider to not use ODP i.e. (dmoz.org) data for your descriptions and the titles in the SERPS. These days Google announced that Googlebot would now recognize this tag.

In most of the cases this would only affect age old websites, but what the heck here it is:

META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOODP"

Changes must take effect the next time when a supporting spider visits your page.

Backlinks in search engine optimization (or back-links (UK)) are nothing but the total number of links to a web page or website. In the search engine optimization (SEO) earth, the number of back links is one sign of the popularity or significance of that website or else page (though other procedures, such as PageRank, are probable to be more significant). Outside of SEO, the back links of a webpage may be of important personal, semantic interest or cultural: they specify who is paying interest to that particular page.

In basic link vocabulary, a back link is any link received by web nodes such as web page, website, directory or top rank domain) from a new web node. Back links are also known by various other names such as inbound links, incoming links, inward links and inlinks.

The following simple keyword rules that must be followed while writing.

• Always write for people first.
• Position keywords after the post are written.
• Keep the number of individual keywords limited.
• Avoid using a given keyword too frequently in a document. The Internet is not a first grade practice reader.
• Position keywords in titles, headers, in text, and on new pages.
• Position keywords in graphic descriptions as suitable to explain them. Remember some programs use those descriptions to construe images for readers who can't see the graphics.
• Go back to read the text again read it as your human readers would. Take out the keywords that are unnecessary. Search engine spiders and people agree on that.

Link Exchange request is always a spam mails. All these link swap requests you get every day asking you to link to online casino or pharmacy websites in swap for a link from some link form? But in the meanwhile the SEO community is being successful in summarizing the strategy for the most ideal link exchange scam.


Filling an Exchange Request

Link to your partners using one of the following options:

posted by suzan @ 4:37 PM permanent link   |

1.Pit your referrer logs
Check for your referrer logs each day. Cut and paste that day's websites you referred into an Excel spreadsheet and then review it once a month. Take the sites that refer to most traffic and do a backward link search for similar sites that you could also approach.

2.Find out who is linking with your competitors
Logic tells that if sites link to your competitors, they can also link to you. But do not stop at just sending 'me too' link requests. See carefully at the sites that are linking to your competitors. Which market sectors do they come from? Are there any surprises there? Is there a niche market that you did not thought about. Again for each useful site do backwards links search.

3.Pierce down through the directories
You can start with DMOZ, Yahoo and Looksmart. Look particularly for information sites or industry specific directories. Try to be comprehensive and explore as many relevant categories as you could.

4.Scan for the blogs
Search engines always love blogs for the reason that they are full of fresh content and extensive links. They're useful for linking since:

• Blogs are huge pointers to useful interesting sites


• When you are making a comment, you often get a link back to your site


• You will get a feel for the real news of the day

One of the top places to look is DayPop, a specialized search engine that will crawl more than 59,000 news sites, RSS feeds and weblogs at least once a day. You could find more blog search engines in The Search Engine Journal.

5.Look out for the ezines
Ezines usually provide more in-depth content than the blogs and they are published less often. Cumuli Ezine Finder and EzineDepot are good Ezine directories. You could also do a Google search so that if you're looking for ezines on photography you just enter the search term, 'photography ezines'.

6.Develop journalists
Find the traditional media in your market sector and watch what they are doing online. Start to maintain a record of key journalists and the type of story they cover. Make some searches on Google News - and note the latest news in your industrial area. If you are finding this useful you can also sign-up for Google's news alert service.

With search engines putting a constraint on direct reciprocal links, the chase for the elusive one-way inbound link is on. Someone who works with small business site owners, I've heard about every inbound-linking scheme there. In end, I've seen five strategies that really work consistently for receiving hundreds of links.

Yet there's recurrent interest in alternative linking strategies. Perhaps it is because the five major effective strategies involve an amount of hard work, and for lot of people, SEO is an endless magic hunt. So, prior to looking at those effective strategies, let's look at some of the easier alternatives.

.Link farms never appear to die. The latest variations attempt to pass themselves off as viral marketing, but are in fact a sort of endless pyramid scheme: you will link to me, so I link to someone, who links to any other. If you believe this will work, I admire your ability to maintain innocence despite all the mean names I'm sure everybody calls you.

.Many one-way inbound linking strategies drop into the great-if-you-are-lucky-enough-to-get-it, like winning a web award or featured on a high-PageRank website.

.Other one-way incoming strategies are in this-will-take-forever-to-get-anywhere, like offering to offer testimonials to all your vendors in exchange for a link to your site.

Now you have to know all the five strategies in order to gain a distinct benefit in the one-way link hunt.

1.Waiting for the Inbound Links
If you have good quality content you will get one-way inbound links naturally. Natural, freely given links are a vital part of any SEO strategy. But you cannot rely on them, due to two reasons:
1.Unluckily, "eventually" could be a very long time.
2.There is a fierce cycle: you can't get search engine traffic, or non-paid traffic, without inbound links; yet without inbound links, how is one going to find you to give you links?

2.Triangulating for your Inbound Links
Search engines have a tough time dampening reciprocal links if it is not direct. To get links to single website you offer in exchange a link from another site you also control. This seems to be a foolproof way of defeating the link-dampening ambition of Google and rest.

If you have more than one site, you are already employing this linking method. Few drawbacks are:
.You require having more than one website.
.The work necessary to set up this kind of arrangement and confirm compliance is not insignificant. The process cannot be mechanized to the same degree as direct one-to-one reciprocal linking.
.As with traditional reciprocal links, the links are mostly on "Resources" pages that are just lists of links. There's only a little chance of getting major traffic from these links.

3. Submitting for the Incoming Links
They are the renowned fairy lands of SEO: PageRank-passing, non-corrupt, no-fee-charging and well-run directories of relevant links. An SEO friend told me he knows 200 good ones. Plus, there is other type of directories: directories of partner programs, of websites using content management system, websites whose owners are members of any group, sites accepting PayPal, etc.

A link in a PageRank-passing link directory: it's a fine deal if you can get it. But let's say you also get links from all 200 such directories and a hundred more from the little niche directories.

4.Paying for the Inbound Links
Buying and selling text links on a high-PageRank web page is now a big business. Buying good traffic-generating links is a great alternative to pay-per-click advertising.

The cost of the hundreds of links obligatory for substantial search engine traffic could become prohibitive.

1.As soon as you stop paying, you will lose your link--you are really renting than owning, with no "link equity" building up.

2.Google is trying to dampen the impact of paid links on rankings, as exposed in various patent filings.

3.Given Google's task to dampen paid links' effectiveness, buyers have an interest in checking that a potential paid link partner is "passing a PageRank." But identifying these link partners is quite a task in itself.

4.Google is trying to dampen the bang of any "artificial" linking campaign. Having most of your links on Rank 3 or higher web pages seem to be a dead give-away that your links are "artificial," as the vast majority of web pages are PageRank 1 or lower. In the meantime, buying PageRank 0 or 1 links will have so little impact on a site's PageRank.

5.Distributing the Content
It is the fifth method of getting one-way inbound links the most promising: distributing the content

The idea is straightforward: you give other sites content to put on their sites in swap for a link to your site, generally in an "author's resource box," at the end of the article.

The beauty of distributing it for links is that it generally generates more traffic than links on a "resources" page. Also, your article will pre-sell readers on the worth of your site.

The downside is that it's not small amount of work to make original content and then distribute it to hundreds of website holders. But nothing good ever comes easy and on the net, one-way inbound links are very good thing.

In conclusion, there are a many ways of getting one-way inbound links, and if you're smart enough, you use all of them.

Differentiate the descriptions for different pages.

Using same descriptions on every page of a site is not very useful when individual pages show in the web results. In these cases we are less possible to show the boilerplate text. Wherever possible, create descriptions that exactly describe the specific page. Use site-level descriptions on the main index page, and use page-level descriptions everywhere else. If you don't have time to make a description for every single page, try to prioritize your content: At the very least, create a description for the significant URLs like your index page and popular pages.

• Include clearly tagged data in the description.
  

The Meta description does not just have to be in sentence method; it's also a great place to incorporate structured data about the page. For example, news or blog postings can list the author, date of publication. This can give potential visitors much related information that might not be displayed in the snippet otherwise. Similarly, product pages might have the key bits of in order - price, age, manufacturer - spotted throughout a page. A good Meta description can bring all this data in concert.

• Programmatically create descriptions.
  

For some sites, like news media sources, creating an exact and exclusive description for each page is easy: since each article is hand-written, it takes smallest effort to also add a one-sentence description. For larger database driven sites, like product aggregators, hand-written descriptions can be impossible. In the some case, however, programmatic generation of the descriptions can be proper and are encouraged. Good descriptions are human-readable and varied, as we talked about in the first point above. The page-related data we mentioned in the second point is a good applicant for programmatic creation. Keep in mind that Meta descriptions comprised of long strings of keywords don't offer users a clear idea of the page's content, and are less expected to be displayed in place of a regular snippet.

• Use value descriptions.
  

Finally, make sure your descriptions are truly expressive. Because the Meta descriptions aren't displayed in the pages the user sees, it's easy to let this content slide. But high-quality descriptions can be displayed in Google's search results, and can go a long way to improving the quality and measure of your search traffic.For more information https://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35264& ctx=sibling# writegooddescriptions

The newest search market share numbers are from Hitwise: in the four weeks that ended March 31st, Google racked up fully 64.13% of all US searches. This is more than 10% since March 2006, if trends hold; Google's share would pass the two thirds marks by August. In the same period, Yahoo, Microsoft, and Ask lost the share.

This is not good news for the search also, as it covers a period when all of them made main and improvements to their search engines.

Conventional wisdom has long held that Google is susceptible to erect attacks. The new Hit wise data suggest that, however, Google is really gaining influence in valuable verticals. Search engines grow in influence over the year, accounting for more total traffic sent to sites in the categories of travel, shopping, health, business, and entertainment, among others. However, in all of these categories, the growth of Google's share of this "upstream traffic" is flowing outpaced its rivals. In shopping, for instance, Google's share grew 14% whereas, taken together, all search engines increased their share by only 6%.

Of course, web market share numbers are disreputably fallible, they require further vetting. Meantime, those distressed for any sign of Google weakness, may take some comfort in this recent PC Magazine critique of the Gmail. Delighted GOOGLE investors wish to fuel their warm and fuzzy feelings, on the other hand, must proceed directly to Alex Iskold's two-by-two matrix-laden evidence that Google is, in reality, the "ultimate money making machine".

We have thousands of things to imagine about when making a website, but making your website victorious just comes down to these three basic things. Let's see about the few things here:

Do something you are passionate about

This may noise quite funny but it is the single most significant thing you can do when building a website. You should never consider making a website because of the earning possible of it. Every subject imaginable will be a feasible source of income in a website.

There is another very basic feature to having passion for the subject. You will be capable to use and leverage what you already know about it. This means that all the learning you have done is instantly available for use on the website. But also, if you are fervent about the subject you are very much more likely to persist working on the website.


Add a new page of content every day

The first reason is that when you obtain a new web visitor he or she may come back another day to see if there is anything new or different. But if there is new content you have a regular visitor captivated, and the search engines love new content. If a website is growing at a regular pace they consider it to be very important and they will rank you consequently. This means that more people will locate you, and finding new content when they come back means more visits, which means better search engine ranking.

Get an external link every day

Try to obtain one new link to your website on another website every day. In gaining links we have lots of ways. Send emails to other webmaster in your common subject area and ask for a link exchange. Write articles for article directories and put a link to your site at the base of the article. Post informative things to forums and use your signature block as a link to your site. Join an online group or organization and post links to your site on their site or in their letter threads.

Keyword stuffing is measured to be an unethical search engine optimization (SEO) method. Keywords stuffing occur when a web page is loaded by keywords in the meta tags or else in content. The recurrence of words in Meta tags may explain why lots of search engines no longer utilize these tags.

Keyword stuffing had been used in the earlier period to get maximum search engine ranking and visibility for meticulous phrases. This technique is completely out-of-date and adds no worth to rankings nowadays. In particular, Google no longer give good quality rankings to pages employ this method.

Hiding text from the guest is done in several different ways. Text colored to mingle with the background, CSS "Z" positioning to set text "behind" an image - and hence out of sight of the visitor â€" and CSS supreme positioning to have the text positioned distant from the page middle are all frequent techniques. As of 2005, some of these unseen text techniques can be detected by main search engines.

It is said that in the internet marketing, content is the king. There is no doubt that strong copy and valuable information will eventually determine whether your site will be a profit or a money pit.

But, to get buyer ready to part ways with their hard earned cash they should find your site.

There are conventional methods that include text link banner ads, advertising, "sponsorships", and directory listings. While that is the only tip of the iceberg of the potential internet method available, they all are meant to do one thing:

Send a reader to your website.

Now, the world's number one search engine, Google, has a scheme in place that favors these links. To observe this in action, go to google.com and enter the following word as: miserable failure.

For those not inclined to test yourself, the search result is for the biography page of the at present President of the United State.

Obvioulsy, the White House has not occupied in a SEM campaign to target that phrase to lead to the page. But it does clearly reveal how Google works.

It's all regarding links.

Simply put more links of the known net that have the word "miserable failure" as the clickable content that point to that page. Don't get the outlook that SEO/SEM is as easy as that, but in a case there is a phrase that none wants to rank on, it's very easy to direct the rankings of Google.

Keeping that display in mind, the aim of every webmaster must be to get text links that point to their site with key phrase they are actively pursuing.

While it would take more than "out-linking" your online competition, it is a advantage to get your site as many links as possible.

Do a Time review - Take a few time out today and consider about how you use your time when it approach to blogging. Where is the greater part of your time going? List all the responsibilities in regulate that you put time in and ask yourself - What am I disregarding that I should be doing more of?

Give yourself a plan - One thing that I did in the early days of blogging was to set a schedule for me. An hour before parting for work to write a post or two and then in the evenings I dedicated my time to networking, email and moderate comments. Once a week I also put an hour away for some SEO and once a month I don't put away time for design.

Create a Points System - Another scheme that some bloggers use is to make a points system where they give themselves unlike points for achieving confident goals on their blog.

Get comment from others - I'd also recommend asking somebody else for their comment on this. Sometimes it is easy to get diverted on one feature of your blog without realizing it. Ask some blogger or a trusted reader or two for honest comment on how they think you are going. You might be amazed with what they come back with.
