Get the best out of your marketing effort: Perfect Marketing – More Sales – More Success

2009-06-16T22:54:00.000-07:00

Selling, as we all know, is the main objective of online marketing and the target of every online business owner. To make your online business successful and increase sale, you need to put a lot of effort in your marketing campaign. Even if you have an innate talent of doing business successfully, you must remember that running an online business is to a great extent different from what you have been doing so far. You have to attract the visitors, create a desire and convince them to buy your products or avail your services. You must master the art of impressing first-time buyers and turn them into your faithful returning customer.

The first step towards successful online business is a proper search engine optimization (SEO) of your website. To find out what works and what doesn’t, you should always hire a well-known reliable SEO service provider in order to increases your online visibility. As a SEO professional, in this article I have talked about some the basic strategies that you must consider to get better result from your online marketing effort.

Affiliate marketing

Visibility and awareness are the keys to the success of online business. Incase of online business, advertising in magazines, flyers or pamphlets are not actually the technique to ‘spread the word’. You need to follow certain methods to promote your business products or services. Once you know your targeted audience, start by creating online network. Try to trade with other websites that sell products or services same as yours and convince them to place your ad on their sites. This way you can put your site link on other related websites and vice versa. If you are ready to invest some money, then place your site link to powerful e-commerce market and directories.

Keep track on your links

Testing your site frequently will help you to keep a record of your site links. Broken links can cost you loss in terms of sale. If you want to successfully manage your online store, then you must focus on every detail including the customer services. When you have promised to provide something to your customers, make sure you do not ever disappoint them. Broken links will undoubtedly drive the customers out of your site and thus you’ll be missing out on sale.

Online promotion

Online promotions work like miracle – more than advertising through flyers, pamphlets or magazines. Use all the different Internet tools to market your products or services - social networks like FaceBook, Twitter or MySpace. You can also do an email marketing to draw attention of your potential customers.

Personal attention

Personal attention is something that every customer wishes for. Try to create a special bond between you and your customer. Make your site as interactive as possible and be aware of the activities of your customers.

Attractive website and perfect delivery

Create the most attractive website – add high quality images, text contents and even videos to make your site alluring. Also make sure that you offer attractive and convenient delivery policy – be that a product or service. Special offers are also effective way to increase online sale.

However, with my so many years of experience as a SEO San Francisco, I would suggest all online business owners to consider these factors in order to increase the sale of their business and make it successful in every respect.

Ezine – Utilize it for Marketing Your Company Products or Services

2009-06-10T22:07:00.000-07:00

Ezine or Electronic Magazine is something that most Internet marketers and SEO service providers are aware of. This magazine is usually published daily, weekly or monthly. Since Electronic Magazine is one of the finest platforms from where users can gather information about various things (business articles, technology, health etc.), it is considered as potential place where online business owners can promote their products or services.

But the question is how much potential do electronic magazines have as promotional platforms? Well, if you are really into online marketing field then you would surely know that if utilized correctly ezine magazines can become an extremely powerful source of promoting a business over the internet. Some ezine offer highest price for promotion while others offer low and affordable price. All you got to do is find the right place to promote your business and get the maximum benefit out of it.

Ezine Directory is a place where electronic magazines from all over the world are assembled. You can search through the Directory, find ezines of your choice, join them and place free ad for few ezine. Some ezine require yearly joining fee and allows you to promote your products or services for free of cost.

As an experienced SEO San Francisco, in this article I have provided three basic strategies that will help you to promote your business products or services through Ezine.

Writing Articles

Article is perhaps the best medium to promote your business through ezine. But creating article for marketing purpose is not as simple as writing general articles. You need to write articles that are of good quality, relevant to your business, impressive and informative. After creating articles, submit those to as many ezine as possible. But remember to place your website URL along with your articles, as your main motive is to drive the visitors to your site.

Create an Ezine or Newsletter

Create newsletters and send them to your subscribers via email. While sending these newsletters, you can place advertisement or your business on them. Writing newsletters yourself is perhaps the best idea, as you are the person who understands your business the most. Take help from other ezine articles and newsletters and create an original one for yourself.

Write Testimony

There are more than few ezine that allow subscribers to post comments and testimony about themselves, which they place along with their publications. This is an ideal opportunity for you to promote your business. It is guaranteed that subscribers after reading your testimony would click on your URL and thus get directed to your website.

However, if you can correctly utilize Ezine, then it can become one of the best platforms to do online marketing for your company products or services.

Trouble at the Top - How Recession Affect SEO Services

2009-06-05T03:35:00.000-07:00

Online marketing, like any other industry has been highly affected by the storm of recession. SEO services throughout the world are adopting newer techniques to survive this crisis and top SEO companies are coming up with innovative ideas in order to help their clients earn benefits even when the world is going through a huge economic crunch. Even then, most top notch SEO companies are striving to provide top quality services to their esteemed clients. Moreover, online marketers and business owners have accepted Search Engine Optimization (SEO) as the only tool that will help them to gain online visibility and boost sales even in this recession period.

All well-known SEO companies as well as individual service providers have modified their services and customized them to meet client requirements. However, there are few SEO trends that have gained more prominence and some that lost their importance over this period.

Increasing Demand for Organic SEO

Most medium and small scale business organizations find cost-cutting and reducing marketing expenditure is essential to survive the recession crisis. Since website promotion is essential for online marketing, it has become quite difficult to get visitors to your site and generate Return on Investment (ROI). But, paid campaigns on the other hand are becoming too expensive and therefore most webmasters cannot afford to use this technique so often. All these have actually boosted the demand for Organic SEO.

However, it is undeniable that organic SEO is the best and the most effective way to get good ranking in search engines and at the same time is a cost-effective online marketing solution. SEO service providers across the world are now focused on developing innovative strategies for organic SEO, which will help their clients in the long run.

Increasing Demand for Personalized SEO Services

Since now every penny is valuable, online marketers are banged on getting best value for their money they spend for website promotion and marketing. Therefore SEO companies are now focusing more on providing personalized services to each of their clients. Personalized SEO services cater to individual requirements of clients. In this case service providers design strategies to suite individual client requirements.

Customers Discounts

SEO service providers are becoming more flexible in their services, keeping in mind the need of cost cutting. Each of the service packages come with comprehensive marketing solutions to help the clients. The packages vary in price as well as type. However, recession has lead all top notch SEO companies to consider the price of their services and come up with discount packages. These packages include quality services on reasonable prices.

However, as an SEO San Francisco myself, I firmly believe that no matter how hardly recession hit all the industrial sectors, it didn’t affect the standard and quality of SEO services in any part of the world.

New SEO Trends for 2009

2009-05-27T14:14:00.000-07:00

There has been huge amount of speculation regarding the changes that 2009 is about to bring in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques and methods for web marketing. This is probably the hottest topic of discussion across the web. Well, the economic recession has largely affected the online marketing and advertising industry in terms of reduction in overall budget. This financial downfall has left every Internet marketer wonder about the changes that the new year would bring on Search Engine Marketing, especially on paid search marketing.

Here are some of the factors that online marketers should consider while changing their SEO strategies in this year.

What’s Going to be more important – Ranking or Conversion?

According to the latest SEO trends conversion has taken over ranking - in terms of importance. Even though, getting high ranking assures better exposure and more publicity for a website on the Internet, ultimately it is the conversion rate that matters most, as it is the main purpose behind all of this publicity and promotion. The term conversion actually refers to the behavior of user that fully meets the objective of online marketing campaign. The behavior includes registration, purchase, lead and even a sale. While SEO mainly focuses on the strategies of ‘keyword density’, conversion is focused on a much lager aspect, which involves content creation, traffic generation and above all growth of Return In Investment or ROI. However, companies providing SEO services have now realized that to measure the success of their SEO campaign, they need to shift their focus on conversions.

Optimization or Marketing – which is more important?

Recently, SEO companies are trying to establish themselves as marketing companies indicating the changes that are about to occur. The companies are now more concentrating on doing things like developing contents, submitting web pages to different web directories and network management. This change has occurred mainly because of the importance web contents gained over the past few years. Gradually, the strategies that earlier focused on web designing are being replaced by Social Media Optimization and viral marketing programs. On the other hand some of the well-established SEO techniques like manipulation of HTML tags and sitemap creation are becoming less effective as less popular.

Even though, it is hard to predict what the scenario would be over the entire year, it is quite evident that online marketing is emerging as a creative process driven by new ideas and methods focusing on building strong lasting relation with customers, establishing online presence and maximizing revenue.

Getting quality backlinks to a website is perhaps one of the major concerns of every online business owner and so it is for SEO service providers as well. In this article I have discussed about the different ways of gaining more quality backlinks to a website. But, before going into that detail, you first need to understand the meaning of backlinks.

Find Out the Different Forms of Banner Advertisements

2009-05-21T23:04:00.000-07:00

Even a few years back, banner ads were speculated to be an extremely expensive online advertising medium with no return on investment and thus were termed as ‘a thing of the past’. In reality, banner ads have neither disappeared nor lost its popularity. They are now considered to be one of the most effective mediums that online business holders can utilize to promote their business to the world audience. Worldwide webmasters use banner ads for their SEO services to market an online business.

Over the past few years this unique form of advertising has gone under several changes and modifications. The banner ads we see on the web nowadays did not even existed three years back. So, if you want to utilize banner ads to the fullest, you need to swim with the flow and honor the changes accordingly. In this article I have provided some useful information about banner ads that I think would help any new comer.

Different Forms of Banner Ads

First let us take a look at some of the newest and improved forms of banner ad. Banner ads are now everywhere in the form of pop-up and pop-under windows. These ads might seem extremely annoying to the users, but they certainly draw their attention. People are actually buying spaces to promote their products or services through these pop-up or pop-under ads. Well, I am not quite sure about the effectiveness of this banner ad for, but it’s surely becoming popular day by day.

Ever wonder how banner ads seem to be psychically able to follow your train of thought? Google AdWords and other similar "little box" ads are cropping up all over the place; creepy but clever, the advertisements are tailored to the viewer's input. They are triggered to appear when relevant keywords, chosen by the advertiser, are typed in. This is however another very popular form of banner ad.

Another form of banner ad is very tactfully disguised as simple text links. Some ads clearly states that they are “sponsored” links, while others appear near the top of listing with a hard to see disclaimer placed underneath saying the links are supplied by so and so. These spaces can be bought outright or advertisers can bid for it like an auction in order to get the best and highest placement. Even though it is quite expensive, this form of banner ad is perhaps the best way to bring in targeted traffic to a website.

However, with my so many years of experience as a SEO San Francisco, I certainly believe that if you can utilize it properly banner ads can become one of the best marketing techniques that you could ever think of. So, go ahead and find out the ways to best utilize your banner ads to promote your business across the Internet.

Twitter in Respect to Search Engine Marketing

2009-05-18T22:47:00.000-07:00

Over the past couple of years Twitter, the micro-blogging site has taken over the web by storm and thus today, it ranks third after MySpace.com and Facebook.com in respect to its membership. Even though it doesn’t help in search engine optimization of a website, Twitter has a huge impact on search engine marketing (SEM). If utilized perfectly, Twitter can become one of the biggest platforms for promoting online businesses.

With my long-term experience as a SEO, San Francisco, in this article I have provided an overall idea about Twitter and its importance in search engine marketing or SEM. But before going into detail, first let me define what Twitter is about. Even today, when it has already captured the web by storm, many people still have a very vague idea about this new technology.

What is Twitter?

Twitter is basically a micro-blogging site, which can be utilized for marketing purpose. By creating an account at Twitter.com, you basically create a micro-blog for your company. The significant difference between a regular blog site and a micro-blog is that while a regular site allows users to create posts of more than thousand words, Twitter prefers to keep it short by allowing a maximum 140 characters post. Even though the number seems insufficient for writing something meaningful, there are ways through which you can exchange meaningful information over Twitter.

Twitter can turn out to be extremely beneficial for certain online marketers as it provides ample opportunity to build up a very close relationship with people who take interest in your company products or services, which caters to a specific audience. This will undoubtedly make it easier for marketers to market their products or services to interested audience and turn them into potential customers.

But for the people who are interested only on creating links and getting higher ranks in search results, Twitter will be of very little use. First of all Twitter links are NoFollowed and secondly the URLs longer than 30 characters are generally compressed to fit in, which means your keywords might not be visible to search engines. So, if are looking forward to build links and receiving link juice, then Twitter is definitely not for you.

Video Marketing: Is It Worth the Effort?

2009-05-18T22:45:00.000-07:00

Video marketing is undoubtedly the hottest, fastest and the newest forms of online or Internet marketing that would help your website to get ranked high in search engine results within a very short period of time. If you wish to see your website rank high in Google for your targeted keywords then this unique marketing method is probably the right choice for you. Today, worldwide webmasters and Internet marketers are widely using this method for their SEO services.

But to do video marketing effectively, first you need to know what exactly video marketing is. Video marketing is basically like a commercial that comes on television, except that it is much more effective and powerful. Through video marketing, you get a chance to demonstrate your company products or services and attract visitors to your company website by adding your website link to it.

The Benefits of Video Marketing

There are however, several benefits of video marketing. It has been proved that web surfers and Internet users are much more attracted to video contents rather than text contents. Moreover, it leaves a deeper impact on the viewers and encourages them to know more about the product or service that the video talks about. The best part of video promotion is that you can do it for absolutely free.

Even though some people still refuse to accept the advantages and effectiveness of this marketing technique, most Internet marketers find video marketing to be the coolest and easiest way to promote a business online. The technique works perfectly because it’s very simple and convenient. The viewers would not need to do anything else apart from sitting back and enjoying the video. However, the most significant advantage of video marketing is its visibility. You can upload your video to a lot of different free video sharing websites and spread it across the web through other networks as well. You can have it on your website, get it bookmarked on different social bookmarking sites and share it on free video sharing websites in order to generate free traffic to your website.

So, by creating a video clip for your online business and optimizing it for your targeted keywords, you can actually get a much more positive response in terms of more traffic and more potential customers. With my experience as a SEO San Francisco, I have been experimenting with this technique for the past few years and finally arrived to this conclusion that video marketing will become one of best and the most effective online marketing techniques in near future.

Download the original attachment Google PageRank - The Primary Concern of Every Internet Marketer

2009-05-17T22:52:00.000-07:00

PageRank or PR is perhaps the most important concern of Internet marketers. Getting a higher PR is in fact one of the major aspects of SEO. PageRank is basically the system that Google follows to determine the importance of a web page by counting its link votes. By judging the PR of a web page along with few other aspects, Google decides upon the ranking of that page on its search results. On Google’s website on the Google Technology page it says:

“The heart of our software is PageRank™, a system for ranking web pages developed by our founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford University. And while we have dozens of engineers working to improve every aspect of Google on a daily basis, PageRank continues to play a central role in many of our web search tools.”

What is PR?

However, by this it is quite clear that PageRank is a vital part of search engine algorithm. While ranking a page in its search result, Google gives much importance to its incoming links, which is determined by the PR of that page. The more the links are, the more the page gets importance. The scale of a PR ranges from 0 to 10, where 0 is the minimum and 10 is the maximum limit.

Well, having a PR 10 is very rare and only a few web pages have been able to achieve it so far. A web page with higher PR receives many incoming links from web pages with similar or even higher PR value, which in turn helps in increasing the PageRank of the original web page. A receiving web page’s PR value will automatically rise if its link page PR is high. So basically, the whole idea is that getting a link from a page of high importance will be more beneficial rather that having number of pages with low PageRank.

The concept of PageRank was developed to evaluate the quality and importance of a web page. Initially, the PR of web pages was evaluated on the basis of the keywords in its text bodies and Meta tags. But eventually the concept expanded and it became clear that PR values not solely depend on this criterion but link exchange also affects PageRank to a great extent.

Even though Google clearly stated that there are more than hundred different assessment criterions that it considers while ranking a page in its search results, the company has never denied the huge importance of PageRank.

As an experienced SEO, San Francisco, I believe that by reading this article you can get a fair idea about the concept of Google PageRank and its importance, so that you can put your focus on it while doing search engine optimization for your website.

A Quick Look at Anchor Text and Page Title

2009-05-10T23:29:00.000-07:00

Creating anchor text is not as simple as it looks. Anchor text is basically used to provide the visitors useful information regarding the page content that you have linked to and also informs the search engines as well. If used correctly, anchor text can really boost your page ranking in search engines, especially in Google. In order to create anchor text successfully, you need to follow certain guidelines. It is extremely important for search engine optimizers to understand and follow these guidelines to get the best results.

As an SEO, San Francisco, I have in this article jotted down some of the basic things you should do to create effective anchor text:

* Use simple and easy to understand language
* Use conventional names for common features
* Use specified terminologies
* Make sure to use action oriented terms and front load user

In addition to all these basic things, you should also watch out for few other aspects as well. Like; it is a very common nature of human surfers to look at the top left of the pages on the Internet while browsing. So, make sure you place the action or benefits keywords in your link text at the top left of the pages.

In this respect, I would also like to mention that all of these advices equally applicable for page titles as well. It’s because when page titles shows up in the search engine result pages (SERPs), it is often treated as the link text of your web page. Possessing a good and attractive title for your page will surely help you to get a better start. There is also another very common belief in SEO professionals, that search engines give priority to the words at the beginning of a page title more than the words that are placed at the end.

To sum up with, here are few dos and don’ts for link text and page title that I would like you to take into consideration. First the dos – place the benefit of your page in the first 2 or 3 words of the page title and in the links to that particular page. Most importantly, make sure to keep it as simple as possible. As for the don’ts – don’t try to be too creative, use conventional words and terminologies. A new, extremely creative trademark keyword or phase would not help you in any way.

The Best Ways to Track Your Delayed Conversion

2009-05-04T21:23:00.000-07:00

Internet is undoubtedly the biggest source of information, but when it comes to purchasing of products, people still prefer to visit their nearby stores. This is especially true in case of products and services that are characterized by a prolonged sales cycle and therefore get a delay in conversion. Using web analytics to measure online conversion maybe enough for some sites, but for multi channel business, tracking online conversion gives a myopic view of the situation and keeps them unaware of the actual picture.

A recent study revealed that more than 50 % online visitors convert to offline consumers. Well there are however quite a few reasons why it is happening. One of the reasons is the fact that most online businessmen are unable to justify their online marketing budget due to the absence of any tangible result. Thus, as the result of the fallout of online marketing effort, tracking offline conversion has taken the center stage.

But, it is not a reason for you to get disheartened. To get the maximum conversion from your website, you need to be more attentive and track down the causes of your delayed conversion. As an SEO, I believe that by adopting these following methods you can accurately keep track on the development of your site’s conversion.

Tracking Phone Number: set up individual phone numbers for each of the referring sources like websites, online campaigns and affiliates. This will help you to link the sale to its exact origin.
Using Reference Codes: one of the most effective ways to track the sale source is to create individual codes for each product and service in every campaign. It would further help you to assign desirable marketing budget for each of your campaigns depending on their individual performances.

Unique Price: for each of your online marketing campaign, offer unique prices. This will help you to find the source of your sale.

Offering Discount Coupons: this is perhaps the easiest and the most effective ways to attract visitors to purchase products. By offering printable discount coupons to your online visitors will successfully tie the sale to the particular campaign you target at. This will help you in figuring out the campaign which is driving most of the offline sales.

Offering Order Forms Online: give your customers the advantage of printing out the order forms from your website. This way you can again link sales to its exact source of origin.
Tagging Every Customer: the most sophisticated way to track delayed conversion is assigning a unique ID to each customer. Customer tagging will enable you to keep a record of their purchase activities.

Pay Per Call Services: together with your paid campaign, this service will surely help you to track the conversion performance of your website across the different search engines.
Adding a Call Me Back Feature: adding this feature to your website will help your customers to connect with your business directly. And the tracking codes will undoubtedly establish the elusive link more clearly.

However, you should never ignore the tracking of offline conversion as it is the evidence of your true ROI achievement that you received from your online marketing efforts.

Get the Maximum Benefit from Expired Domains

2009-05-03T23:26:00.000-07:00

Lately, people are showing a lot of interest in purchasing expired domains and using it for their own websites. This trend is becoming popular among online business owners as the cost of expired domains are much less than buying new domains. But the problem is that, even if they purchase expired domains most people are not sure what they should do with it or how they can maximize its benefits. Well, there are actually few things that you can follow to get the best results.

As a SEO San Francisco, I have quite an experience in online marketing field. Based on my experience and using a little bit of common sense in this article, I have provided three different options for what you can do with the expired domain you purchased. You can choose any one of the three to get it work.

301 redirecting the expired domain to your existing site is perhaps the easiest and the least time consuming option you can get. This technique works best if both the sites have the same topic of concern and target the same set of keywords. However, there are few pros and cons to this option.

Pros:

This is the least time consuming option of all the three.

Cons:

An old branded anchor text that points at your new website will not help you as much as an anchor text rich with keyword will do.
Make sure that the old domain name you use is free of any penalty. If there is any penalty, then it would carry over to your new site.

Operating the expired domain name independently is probably the most time consuming option, but it has a lot of benefits. You can own two domains and run them simultaneously and successfully. Update the old domain contents and market the same products or services as your current site. If both your sites rank in the SERPs, then the possibility of your conversion rate and sale also increases.

Pros:

You can focus on ranking and conversion and do not need to work hard to brand the expired site.
Increase the chances of better conversion and sale.
Marketing an old site that already has a link pointing at it is much easier than working with a new site.

Cons:

Avoid getting into any duplicate content issue.

It is quite time consuming.

This option demands some extra attention and time. Turn the old site into a microsite for your current domain. This option works best when both the domains target the exact keywords and if the old domain ranks well in the SERPs for your targeted keyword.

Pros:

Helps cross promoting and cross-linking to your main site.

Increases the chances of your site getting good ranking, creating a brand name and getting more conversion.

You can do a lot of experiments with the microsite, which you wouldn’t dare to do on your main site.

Cons:

Time consuming.

Your main site does not inherit any link value of the old site.

Too much promotion and linking to your existing domain might look like spamming.

Well, finally the success of an expired domain completely depends on the time and effort one can put. If you can follow these strategies and devote some quality time and effort, then any old domain can become as successful and profitable as your new site.

Sitemap: A little attention can do wonders

2009-04-28T22:36:00.000-07:00

On several websites the sitemap pages remain unutilized. It is a very common trade of website owners and online marketers to overlook the importance and usability of site map pages. It is really annoying to see so little credit and attention is given to these pages in spite of its huge contribution in SEO of a website and its ability to provide an extremely convenient user experience.

Well, the SEO trends are now changing and webmasters and online marketers are focusing on utilizing every single tool that they consider to be worthwhile for marketing. With my long term experience as a SEO San Francisco, in this article I have given my view on sitemaps and what it can do for your websites. Whether or not to work on these tips is absolutely your own choice.

Sitemaps are in fact extremely valuable tools that you can use to point the strong internal links in the different pages of your website. Internal linking, as we all know is one of the major factors determining the ranking of a website in search engines results. So, adding a sitemap to your website can be doubly beneficial for SEO and for the users as well. Giving some attention to the page will result into better crawling and more internal page ranking in the long run.

Best Ways to Utilize Your Sitemaps

Use the Keywords

Use your main keyword or phrase in each page link that you have placed on the pages you have linked to. To make it more attractive, you can wrap it with a little description as well. The text would also help the users to know about the content of your site.

Group the Links

If you have a long list of links on your sitemap, group them together categorically. This will help your visitors to locate what they are looking for easily and quickly.

Maximum 100 Links Per Page

Well, there isn’t any law on the number of sitemaps on a website. So, if you want you can have more than one sitemaps on your website. It is quite natural that if you have 150 pages on your website, then your sitemap will automatically have 150 links. But, Google doesn’t give any importance to more than 100 links on one page. To be on the safer side, break the links by theme or category and distribute them across two or three sitemaps. Make sure to have a followed link of each on your home page.

Follow and Nofollow

Make sure to have a followed link to your sitemap on the home page and nofollow it on the internal pages of your website.

Use a Different Name

For the convenience of the users and make it easier for them to understand the purpose of the page, you can use other names instead of sitemap; like “index” or “table of contents”.

So, to maximize the advantage of sitemaps use it well and keep it updated - as a well-constructed and updated sitemap can be extremely beneficial for your online business marketing campaign.

Methods to Get Higher Paying Ads

2009-04-22T00:56:00.000-07:00

There is nothing to deny that the main objective of every online business owner is to earn money. If you are new in this business, then you must want to know how to do it? Well, there are many ways which will help you to achieve your goal. But, in this article I will tell you about some of the most effective and fastest ways to earn good amount of money through your website.

Google AdSense

Google, the master of all search engines allows advertisers bid for placing their ads on other sites. This bidding amount ranges from a minimum of .05 cents to a whooping $100 per click. On one hand it is quite obvious that few .05 cent ads will not make you rich, while on the other hand it is quite a job to get $100 for a single click. However, your target should always be to get some $100 worth ads or a little more number of $30, $20 or $10 worth ads for your site.

Well, the problem lies with the master himself. Google is quite closed-mouth about leaking any data. That is, Google will never let you know who is paying what for their ads. Moreover, there isn’t any particular way to determine which words would pay the maximum amount per AdSense click.

Overture

Overture is yet another extremely well-accepted PPC (Pay-per-Click) provider. It has been observed that Overture is not that secretive about their working process. They are not so sensitive about letting people know their top-priced keywords. Not only that, there is the tatle-tale special pricing tool that will help you to find what websites are paying for those keywords or phrases. This tool is extremely easy to use. Type in a keyword and the tool will display all the information you need; list of advertisers, the amount of money they offer and a glimpse of the actual ad.

However, it seems that advertisers offer more or less the same amount of money for placing their ads on both these PPC providers. So, what you can do is make all the calculation on Overture and then go ahead with the Google AdSense.

The Way Search Engines Work: A Simple Explanation

2009-04-06T04:03:00.000-07:00

It is most likely that when we surf the Internet, we use popular search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN or AltaVista to find specific information on the web. But, did any of us ever wonder how exactly search engines work to provide us the information we are looking for? Well, it but obvious that none of us ever take the pain to understand the process. However, if you are planning to launch your own website and promote your business over the Internet, then you must have a clear knowledge about search engines and how it works.

What is “Index”?

With my experience as a SEO San Francisco, in this article I have explained how you can structure your website to get the maximum benefit and increase your brand strength by utilizing the power of search engines. There is a very common misconception among web users that search engines scan the Web to find the pages that matches the query that they had entered. But, the truth is search engines do not work that way at all. Instead, search engines look for it at its own copy of the Web, which is commonly known as an “Index”. Each and every search engine possess its own version of the Internet, which they use to determine the position of a website in search results.

Crawler or spider is a particular software that search engines use to make a list of web pages to add to its index. The spider crawls through the Web and adds the pages it visits to the list of indexed pages. Web spiders are capable of reading texts of a web page and locating other page links to make visits. The spiders follow this pattern and constantly crawl across the Web to find new pages to update or add to its existing index.

Sometimes, when a crawler visits a web page, a copy of that altered or added page effectively gets indexed in respective search engines. Therefore, when users enter their queries into a search engine, the software of the respective search engine look for matching pages within its own index.

Even though there are several other things involved in this process, I believe reading this article will at least help you to understand the basic of how search engines actually work.

It has indeed been proved that contents are the foundation of a website. No matter whether you are fully aware of the fact or not, content based websites are day-by-day becoming an essential factor behind the success of any online business.

Get to Know the Key Factors of Search Engine Marketing

2009-03-11T22:51:00.000-07:00

Search engine marketing refers to the process in which online marketers utilize a set of keyword or phrases to draw traffic from relevant segments to their respective websites.

As a professional in a SEO San Francisco Company, I have hereby described three key factors that would help you to get good ranking in search engines for your website through the SEM or search engine marketing process.

Key Visibility

Search engine marketing experts consider keyword density and placement one of the most crucial factors for getting higher search engine ranking. Keywords are the words or phrases that users use to search on the internet to get the information they are looking for. Hence, use and placement of keywords and phrases is extremely important for any website. According SEO experts, keywords that appear on the top portion of the web content pull the maximum attention of the search engines as the search engine spiders crawl html coding of a site before going through the content. Another way to get attention from search engines is by including your keywords into the title.

Site Content

Web page contents play extremely important role in successful search engine marketing. Contents are basically the main thing that user’s are looking for. So, if your website does not provide relevant, informative and good quality content, then it will never gain popularity. Moreover, if search engines do not find your website contents to be valuable, then they would not get it indexed in their search result listings. Your contents should be unique, original, keyword rich, relevant, informative and attractive.

Inbound Link

With the continuous change of search engine algorithm, changes and modification are also being made in the process of search engine marketing. In the newest trend of search engine marketing the importance of inbound links or backlinks have increased to a great extent. Search engines consider these backlinks as recommendation from other websites confirming your website’s authenticity and credibility. To get backlinks work properly, search engine marketing professionals must get the links from websites that are already doing well in respect to search engine ranking.

So, to get the best result for your search engine marketing effort, concentrate on these three factors and get your desired search engine ranking within few months.

Learn about Manual Directory Submission

2009-03-11T22:39:00.000-07:00

Directory submission as we know is one of the greatest ways to increase a website’s ranking in search engines. With successful directory submission, you can get your website up in the search results of popular search engines like Google. But, the task is not as simple as it sounds. There are several aspects that need to be taken care of while making directory submission. Webmasters and online marketers fully utilize this technique to accomplish their SEO campaigns.

The first step for directory submission is to find the web directories you would like to make submission to. You should make a list of at least 200 web directories, as you would not get effective results for submitting to a few. There are more than thousands of web directories that you can choose from. Some of these directories are for all types of websites, whereas others are meant for specific type or category of websites. So, make sure that you choose directories according to the type of your website. Make sure that the web directories you choose are SEO friendly. The whole idea of directory submission is to obtain valuable links to your site, which will not be possible if the web directories are not SEO friendly.

For manual directory submissions select the directory that contain the right category for your company product or services. As you enter the site, a submission form will appear. Fill in the form with information like name, description, URL and e-mail account. Sometimes there are additional details as well. Study the guideline of each directory before making submission.

Most web directories are free and do not charge any submission fee. However, there are few that will charge you for submission. So in those cases you will have to choose an option for making payment. You will be given a number of choices from which you can choose according to your convenience.

Fill in the form very carefully. Keep the title simple and short and relevant to your website content. 45 to 55 characters are ideal for titles. Make sure that your site has quality and relevant content.

Though there are no set rules for blogging, there are certain norms that are unanimously followed by bloggers.

Blogging guidelines:

• Copyright: Creating original content for blogs is recommended. If you’re borrowing content from another blog, it’s advisable to credit the original writer. Quoting certain excerpts from another blog post is allowed if you don’t want to distort the context of the write up. If someone objects to your quoted text, removing or altering the post is the best course of action. It may not be a violation of copyright, but its basic online decorum. You can leave a text explaining your actions.

• Valid information: Confirming the authenticity of information provided in your blog is one of the primary responsibilities. The credibility and reputation of your website banks on providing valid details. But what if you find out that the information provided was not completely valid, after you’ve posted it? Correcting the information and posting an apology to readers, immediately; is suggested.

• Neutral approach: While writing about a controversial piece, you must present the viewpoints of both sides. This is a balanced approach, which shows you as a neutral presenter, earning viewer respect. Presentation, however varies with style of RSS feed and blog.

Suggestions:

• Reporting about something that has been provided to you “off the record” is not recommended. Following an alternative course results in violating the confidence of your sources.

• Any original content is automatically protected by copyright laws, even without applying for copyright. So as a blogger you must respect the copyright of an individual.

• Though blogging is an informal approach, yet great heed should be paid to grammer and spellings. So you should post grammatically correct text when writing a blog or posting to an RSS feed.

How can social bookmarking help boost traffic to your website? Is this what you’re wondering? Then read on further to know the benefits of social bookmarking for your website.

Social bookmarking and its utility

The concept of social bookmarking is saving your website links in an online account instead of in your home PC. Now why would you do that? Simply because the links saved by you are visible on public web pages. So you’re actually linking your site to these websites, i.e. you’re back linking to your own site. Since these social bookmarking sites rank high on popular search engines, such as Google; this just increases your link value.

The main purpose behind setting up these social bookmarking sites was sharing of bookmarks. You can use this factor to promote traffic on your site. Often people stumble upon your site while browsing through other bookmarked links on these sites. This gives your site a social verification, which in turn boosts direct traffic to your site.

Where to get social bookmarking links?

Some of popularly used bookmarking sites are: StumbleUpon, Delicious and Furl. All that you have to do is sign up on these sites and install a bookmarking toolbar on your Internet browser by downloading. Now just by simply “clicking” on the installed toolbar icon you create your bookmark link.

Tips for social bookmarking and online traffic promotion

1. Directing traffic to your website promotes your business and products. To achieve this you’ve to do some “out – of – box” thinking. Treading on the same pathways followed by many others would not produce any “miracle.” While “pay per click” and “article marketing” are successful ways of boosting traffic, these are run of the mill methods and are often accompanied by certain disadvantages. Cost and patience are two such factors. Social bookmarking is one of the better methods for directing traffic to your website.

2. You can make better use of social bookmarking by working in a group. As a single user you get only one link to your site. Working with other people helps to get multiple links. So how do you go about doing that? You can share your social bookmarking with others on forums. Paid services for social bookmarking are also available.

For SEO services, social bookmarking is an effective tool that is used for listing your site on public platform.

Quick Tips on How to Get Quality One-way and Reciprocal Backlinks

2009-03-04T01:59:00.000-08:00

No matter whether you are a new website or blog owner or have huge experience in online marketing field, the most common question that comes to your mind in respect to Search Engine Optimizations (SEO) is “how to get links”. Getting backlinks is probably the most important aspect of SEO as far as the success of online marketing is concerned. However, for new website owners it is necessary for them to first understand the meaning and importance of backlinks and then start their link building process.

If you are new in this field, you will surely find this article extremely useful and significant. Before going into detail, first we need to define the different types of links. Both one-way and reciprocal backlinks will help your site to get ranked in search engine result pages. Although both types of links are equally effective, there are few significant differences between them.

• One-way backlink: one-way backlink is the process of getting links from other websites without providing any link backs. As far as search engine ranking is concerned, one-way backlinks hold more weight and significance. Getting good one-way backlinks will help you to get higher position in search engines. Webmasters, as a part of their SEO services use these links to move a website up on the search engine indexes.

• Reciprocal backlinks: on the other hand, reciprocal links might not be as effective as one-way links in terms of search engine ranking, but it is extremely significant when it comes to generating website traffic and getting recognition.

How to get it

After knowing the meaning of these two links, the next question that would popup in your mind is how to get these links? In order to get quality one-way links you should first concentrate on creating some unique quality contents offering helpful tips and information. Original, unique and high quality contents will automatically get you many quality backlinks from other webmasters. You should further create some good and relevant articles and press releases and then post them to several directories and news sites. This way you will get several relevant pages from where you can link back to your site.

Incase of reciprocal linking, you need to concentrate on picking the right link partner. In order to get the maximum benefit, while exchanging reciprocal links look for sites that are relevant to your own website. Pick a list of some of the most relevant websites and try to partner with those sites. It is easier to get a reciprocal backlink from the sites that have an existing link on your site. This helps in building a strong partnership.

However, when it comes to SEO both one-way links and reciprocal links are equally important in order to get your website rank high in search engine result pages.

The Right Steps to Choose a SEO Company

2009-03-04T01:57:00.000-08:00

Choosing the right SEO Company for marketing your online business is extremely important. Most of the time, even after a real long term of hard work, people do not find any visible improvement in their website’s position on search engine results. This is most of the time due to poor search engine optimization or SEO of your website. With so many SEO companies around, it is but natural that new online businessmen find it difficult to select and appoint the right SEO companies that would ensure the overall success of their business.

So, before you hire any company or individual for your website’s SEO services, you should know clearly what you are looking for. It is further necessary for you to have clear knowledge about search engine and search engine optimization. Following are some of the vital points that you should keep in mind while choosing a SEO company:

• The companies that promise and guarantee a number 1 position in search engines for specific keywords are often misleading. A website’s ranking in search engines can never be guaranteed as search engines keep on changing there algorithm very often.

• Appointing well-known SEO companies is always recommended. It is even better to hire a SEO company recommended by your friends or business associates.

• After selecting a company, you should always verify its authenticity in the Internet. Google often keep a record of fraud companies and by doing a little research on the company, you will surely be able to track the companies previous records.

• Before finalizing the deal, you should ask the company to show some of the sites that they have optimized previously. This would help you to get an idea about the potentiality of the SEO Company that you are planning to hire.

• A good SEO company will certainly have a well-optimized website of its own. You should check the PR of the company’s website and also check the keywords that they rank for in search engine results.

Apart from verifying the authenticity and capability of a SEO Company, you should also keep in mind that high price does not always mean high service quality. Stress more on the quality of the services that your hired SEO Company offers and verify it over and over again before you actually sign the contract.

Keyword Density: An Essential Aspect of SEO

2009-02-24T21:06:00.000-08:00

Keyword density, in context to copywriting is one of the most important aspects of SEO or Search Engine Optimization. Before discussing about the importance of keyword density and its effect on SEO, it is important to understand the meaning of keywords and key phrases. A keyword is the word or the phrase that Internet users type into the search engines to find relevant information. These words or phrases describe the topic of their search.

When it comes to search engines, keywords and phrases are the most important tools that help search engines to track a website and index it. Depending on these keywords and phrases, the web crawlers analyze the relevance of a webpage. Keyword density is basically the ratio of the keywords and phrases used in a webpage and the total count of words on that page.

Keyword density is a very relative term. Some search engines allow greater keyword density, whereas some search engines prefer lower keyword density. In this respect it is important for you to know that Yahoo allow up to 5% keyword density whereas search engines like MSN Google prefers keyword density of maximum 2%. Make sure your website is abided by the limit of the search engine that you are working on, because if it doesn’t then the search engine will mark your site as spam.

However, there is nothing such as ideal keyword density. It is because the algorithm of search engines changes every now and then. Some of the well-known search engines prefer the sites that provide keywords in their Meta tags and titles, whereas Google prefers keywords to be used in the text body of a webpage. Keyword density can further vary according to the type and nature of the keywords. You can use a highly competitive keyword only for once in your web content, but less competitive keywords should at least be used 2 to 3 times.

However, webmasters give great importance to keyword density while creating web contents to utilize it for their SEO services. So, while you are creating web contents, make sure you put extra emphasis on keyword density of your content in order to secure a good position in search engine results.

Does Link Popularity Help Your PageRank?

2009-02-23T21:25:00.000-08:00

Before we talk about the contribution of link popularity in determining page rank of a website, we need define the meaning of both. The terms “link popularity” and “Google PageRank” for years, have been the fundamentals of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). However, the accurate meaning of link popularity, its effect on search engine ranking and its difference from PR (PageRank), still remains vague to many people.

Meaning of Link Popularity

Link popularity fulfils one of the major aspects of SEO. It helps to increase the flow of traffic to a website, which in turn helps the site to get a good ranking in search engine results. Getting good and relevant links to your website and putting your site link to other similar websites is what link building is all about. This process helps your site to gain more prominence in the eyes of search engines. According to the algorithm of search engines linking your page with good sites increases the value of your website. So, link popularity is something that determines your position in the eyes of search engines. The higher your link popularity is the better chance you will have to rank higher in the search engine results.

Relation between Link Popularity and PageRank

PR or PageRank is basically a subset of link popularity. The basic difference between link popularity and PR is that, PR strictly focuses on the popularity and the quantity of links, whereas link popularity adds to the quality factor. Unfortunately, some people still use both these terms synonymously. However, search engines in their ranking algorithm do put some emphasis on link popularity as well. Getting links from similar websites might not help you to increase your link popularity, but it would surely give a temporary boost to your website’s PageRank.

Although, according to some link popularity has very little to do with the PageRank of a website, most SEO service providers give enough importance to link popularity as far as their SEO services are concerned.

Avoid these Mistakes and Get Effective Results for Online Video Marketing

2009-02-23T21:10:00.000-08:00

If you have chosen to market your company products or services through videos, then you should be aware of the common mistakes that people often make while doing video marketing. Video marketing is undoubtedly one of the most effective marketing methods that webmasters from all over the world use as a part of their SEO services. It is an extremely popular online marketing technique that helps a website to get prominence in both the eyes of visitors as well as search engines.

5 Common Video Marketing Mistakes:

So, if you really want your video marketing efforts to be successful, then make sure you do not make the following mistakes while doing the job.

• People often think that creating an elaborate video clip will help the visitors to understand a website better and get attracted towards it. The reality is that long and boring videos will not only irritate the visitors but will drive them away from your website. Make your online marketing videos short, compact and to the point. Your online marketing video should be maximum 3 to 4 minutes long.

• While creating the video, make sure that you speak about your company and provide the viewers with the information that they are looking for. Make it short and relevant. But do not forget that you are here to advertise your business. So, provide the audience with correct information and assure them with the potential of your company.

• Make your voice clear and distinct, but not too loud. People should be able to hear your voice clearly without turning their speakers. Unclear and distorted voice will create a bad impression on the visitors.

• Your enthusiasm should be reflected in your tone and way of speaking. It should be convincing. Unless your voice shows enthusiasm and excitement, the video cannot impress or attract the visitors. But make sure that you do not make it too cheesy or be over enthusiastic, as that might seem too much for the viewers.

• While recording a video to use for marketing your business, put emphasis on its quality and presentation. It should not be too casual or too formal. There should be balance between the two.

7 Tips for Successful Reciprocal Linking

2009-02-20T21:39:00.000-08:00

There is a great deal of controversy regarding the value of reciprocal links in compare to other link strategies. This might be true partially, but the fact is, if done correctly, reciprocal links can be as effective as any other links. According to webmasters, reciprocal linking can become one of the most powerful SEO strategies that you can use for your website marketing campaign.

As a professional SEO service provider, in this article I have listed 7 tips that would help you to get effective reciprocal links:

1. While getting reciprocal links for your website make sure you get links from pages that have either equal or greater Google PR than your own. This would enhance the quality of the reciprocal link, which would in turn improve your overall position in the eyes of the search engines. The higher the Google PR is, the more value your link will get.

2. Make sure to incorporate your keywords in the anchor text that comprises your link. This is probably one of the most important aspects of link building. By adding the keywords to the anchor text, you inform search engines about the keyword that you are optimizing your website for.

3. Exchange links with sites that are directly related to your website. For example, if your website sells women’s clothing, then make sure that the links you get are from sites that sell product related to women’s clothing. Contextual relevancy helps you to get a better position in the eyes of search engines.

4. You should not include more than 100 links in your link pages. If you add more that 100 links, then search engines would discredit your site value and consider it as a spam.

5. The title tag of the links page should include keywords that are relevant to your website. This adds value to your link page. You can view the title tag of the sites where your links will be placed by visiting the link page, and clicking on the “view” option in the menu bar of the browser. From there select the “view source code” and view the meta tags.

6. You should regularly check the websites of your partners to ensure that they still have your links on their link pages. No matter how much valid your reciprocal links are, make sure to check them regularly.

7. Quality is one of the key to successful reciprocal linking. While building reciprocal links, you should concentrate more on qualities than quantities.

However, by following these tips you can actually get successful reciprocal links to your site that will help in the overall SEO of your website.
