Google VS Paid Links
2007-12-07 08:23:00
What is a Paid Link or Paid Inclusion? “Paid inclusion is a search engine marketing model in which Web site owners pay a search engine company to guarantee their sites will show up in search results.” But then this definition changed when this process of buying links spreads from search engines to individually run websites and blogs. Companies started preferring to have their links shown on a blog having higher visitors or Page Rank with more visibility i.e. having a small banner on side bars of a web page or a banner at the end of the article.

Google Optimized Sites
2007-12-05 08:51:00
Every search engine has its own ways that ranks sites. They use a global formula most of them but there are some small differences in each one. I found a great thread with some really useful tips. Its about tips given by Matt Cutts in different forums to bloggers and webmasters. He gave some simple yet highly effective tips to get some good ranking in Google . Google is always changing its opinions but some things will always remain the same.These are the recommendation that has been given by Matt Cutts on several occasions. ADD CONTENT Nothing new here. Add, add, add. Google loves it, and your visitors will love it. Assure it is quality content though. You are looking for quality over quantity here. You can turn out 5 mediocre articles in the time it takes to write one excellent article. However, once that excellent article is on your site, people will bookmark your page and recommend you to friends and online contacts. USE KEYWORD IN FOLLOWING WAY Once in the title, once in the de...

Difference is the key!
2007-11-23 13:09:00
In 2007 there are over 70.000.000 (million) blogs on the World Wide Web. Blogosphere is growing every single day. Blogs pop up covering every need a reader might have. Readers stay for about 3 minutes (maybe less) in a blog before they fly to another. This flight is 2 clicks away. You own one (or more) of these 70 million blogs so you have 3 minutes maximum to make a good impression. If you want to succeed you have to think as a reader not as a writer. Ask yourself: Am I attracted by a fancy design with lots of graphics and Javascripts? Am I going to read an article which can be found in 100 different blogs? What makes me re-visit this blog? If you ask me how you can become this yellow guy in the picture I can’t actually answer. There is no magic formula available at the moment. But there are some things that can make you different. That will make you stand out from the crowd. Be yourself! Every blog is a personal expression web place. If you are planning to write an article...

Quick 10 step SEO feedback.
2007-11-22 14:00:00
I’ve been asked several times to give a quick feedback on site’s SEO. There are some certain things that I do so I wrote them down for you. It’s not a complete SEO report it’s a short one. So … let’s see. 1.      First of all, visit the domain. If it redirects to another URL it’s not good. 2.      Check the title. Is it relevant? Does it contain some hot keywords? 3.      Review the site’s navigation. Text navigation is the best. Flash, Javascript, un-friendly drop downs should be avoided. 4.      Each page URL should be SE friendly. It shouldn’t be more than 4 hops away from the home page. Not very long. Rewrite mod is recommended. 5.      Review the content. Content is the king so it has to be rich! Lot’s of text, well written with few graphics is the best. Its image should contain Alt tag and title. 6.      Is there a sitemap? Check the keyword usage and the amount of the links listed. 7.      Check Meta tags. Description s...

Hiring an expert or do it by yourself ?
2007-11-19 12:08:00
Although hiring an experienced SEO company with a good track record for success is one of the options that are clearly open to any web site or blog site owner, the truth is that many fear the cost. Actually many webmasters opt for a do-it-yourself option rather than hiring an SEO company or any other SEO expert. However the big question to other newer site owners faced with the same choice is whether do-it-yourself SEO is viable. Does it work? Has it worked for those who have chosen to do their own SEO rather than hire a company? (more…)
