Find All My Domain Names
2007-10-21 07:04:00
Some of my domain names were registered as a joke (haggisdiet.com was a bet against Andy Hagans), and it wouldn’t be hard to register domains in the name of another person. Having said that, I doubt few people put my name on their domain names, and now you can look up a list of domains ...

Meta Tags - Building and Optimizing a Search Engine Friendly Pages - Part 1
2007-10-17 23:07:00
Today I wanted to start a series of articles on best SEO techniques when building a Search Engine Friendly web page and/or optimizing it for best Results in Search Engine s (SERP). In this first article we’ll discuss proper use and optimization of Meta Tags and using keywords and phrases in Meta Tags. Meta Tag Quick Overview What are meta tags? They are information inserted into the “head” area of your web pages. Other than the title tag (explained below), information in the head area of your web pages is used to communicate information that is not intended for human visitor and is not seen by humans but only crawlers. Meta tags, for example, can tell a browser what “character set” to use or whether a web page has self-rated itself in terms of adult content as well as telling search engine spider what this page is about and more. Here’s most common and basic meta tag: <HEAD> <title>Free Articles Directory - Free Content</title> &l...

WP Cloner - Today on DealDotCom for Only $63.50
2007-10-17 17:47:00
You know the old joke where the rich guy brings a suitcase full of gold to St. Peter at the Pearly Gates and he laughs and says, "You brought some bricks for the road?" The old adage is that you can’t take it with you. This is true for WordPress, the premeir blogging platform on the web. The great thing about WordPress is that it runs on your website and is therefore completely customizable. The problem is that once you find all your custom settings that you like, (fonts, layout, colors, etc…) and you decide you want to make a second blog, you have to start over from scratch, and as much as I love WordPres, the default look is just, blah.

Keyword Density SEO for Best Search Engine Rankings!
2007-10-13 03:04:00
What is Keyword Density? Keyword density is an indicator of the number of times the selected keyword appears in the web page. Just remember, keywords shouldn’t be over used, but should be just sufficient enough to appear at important places. How important it is? Keyword density on your site and pages is very important because most search engines use this information to categorize it’s theme or niche, and to determine which terms the site is relevant to. The perfect keyword density will help achieve higher search engine positions and rankings in search results. Keyword density needs to be balanced correctly (too low and you will not get the optimum benefit, too high and your page might get flagged for ???keyword spamming???). A good rule of thumb is to have a keyword density between 3-6%. The formula to calculate the percentage?? is quite simple: you divide the total number of keywords or keyword phrases in your content by the total number of words. For example if you h...

AdWords Ads: what’s your location?
2007-10-12 17:20:00
Lately we’ve received some inquiries about the locations that are often displayed beneath the last line of text in AdWords ads. Here’s some helpful information that explains when we display locations, and how we determine what to display. When you use regional targeting in your campaigns, Google users searching from your targeted areas will see the city or region name (whichever is more specific) displayed directly beneath your ad. This alerts users that your product or service may be especially relevant to them due to your proximity, and it helps you reach local users. Check out this example ad: We show the name of the region or city based on the actual search query or the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the user, if available. Learn more about how AdWords knows where to show your keyword-targeted ads. With regional targeting, it isn’t possible to prevent locations from appearing underneath your ad.

ROI: why it matters and how to track it — part 3 of 3
2007-10-12 17:20:00
In part two of this series, Fred Vallaeys, Product Evangelist for AdWords, discussed how to set up the conversion tracking feature available in every Standard Edition AdWords account — and how to use conversion tracking information to track your ROI. Today, in the final installment of the series, Fred is back with tips on how to start using that ROI data to your advantage. Once you have a week’s worth or more of conversion tracking data, you should have enough information in your reports to start adjusting your bids to improve your ROI. Here are two strategies to improve bids using your new data. When ROI is less than 100% Using the type of report I described last week, sort the data on the ???Value / Cost??? column (which is your ROI expressed as a percentage) and look for keywords that have a negative ROI (i.e. less than 100%), but enough clicks that you’d reasonably expect some conversions to have happened. These are keywords for which your advertising costs exc...
