Search Engine Optimization: Your Page Content

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

According to SearchEngineWatch.com, a recent survey of businesses using the Internet as a primary marketing tool reported that only 11% said SEO gave a lower return on investment than search advertising. More importantly, 35% said that SEO was more valuable in terms of return on investment than paid advertisement.

This means that in 89% of businesses who could determine the relative value, inexpensive search engine optimization of page content was as valuable or more valuable than paying for advertising on Google, Yahoo, or other pages and search engines. A full third of all businesses found SEO to be the most valuable advertising tool to use with search engines.

This is remarkable news because, with patience and attention, anyone can optimize their page content for search engine placement. This means that your little computer business, with its tiny marketing budget, can compete in search engines with international corporations if you do things properly.

SEO: Making Your Page Work

So how do you harness this incredible tool to make your own page’s ROI higher? By understanding the search engines and how they work, and by taking steps to ensure your page is optimized for best usability by these engines.

First, search engines use text-based algorithms. They send out miniprograms regularly called search engine spiders, robots, or web crawlers that catalog the data contained in web pages – data in the form of text – and use that to determine where to place a page in search engine returns on keywords.

So when your potential customer types in “butterfly handkerchief,” the placement and frequency of your keyword phrase “butterfly handkerchief” is one of the main things a search engine pays attention to when deciding where to rank your page. If you are the only “butterfly handkerchief” site that is clearly demonstrating you offer these by placing the keyword phrase in the header, metatags, and text of your page, then you’ll get first ranking. If Billy Bob’s Hankies does a better job of this, he will get top ranking, bumping you down.

But that’s not all the search engines look for.

Content Has An Expiration Date?

Because there are so many billions of web pages search engines are trying to organize, some sites are going to do equivalently good jobs of inserting those keyword phrases. There has to be a way of organizing pages beyond that phrase.

One way is cataloging regular fresh content. A website that delivers different content on a regular basis containing the same keywords is a site that will rank higher in the search engines. So if you rotate your “butterfly handkerchief” articles frequently while Billy Bob gets lazy and leaves the same one up for a year, you’ll regain that top spot you lost.

A second advantage to using continual fresh content is that it gives your customers something to come back for. Repeat customers are among the most valuable. If you continue to provide excellent content to this customer base, you’ll find them returning to – and spending money at – your site on a regular basis.

Not everyone has the time to create continual fresh content, of course, especially content optimized for the search engines with good keyword placement. One way to always have fresh content on hand is to purchase private label articles to place on your site. These are articles pre-written and pre-optimized for the search terms you need. You purchase all rights to the articles – once you’ve paid for them, they are yours to use as you see fit. You can edit them, add or delete information, personalize them to your content, and even list yourself as the author if you like.

Reciprocal Links

A third item the search engines look at when cataloging you is linking. If you have great content and lots of other web sites link to you, this will boost your ranking. That’s why the New York Times is placed high in a search for “The New York Times,” even though their name is mentioned infrequently on any given page; the search engines see other sites linking to the content contained there. This helps the engines, which are really big programs with very good logic and artificial intelligence, determine that the New York Times website is the primary site for this term.

Your little site will probably never have the name recognition of the New York Times. But if you make agreements with complementary websites to link to one another, particularly if you link within articles or at least not on “My Favorite Links” pages, you can boost your ranking quite a bit.

And if you offer great information on your site, other sites will be more eager to link to you. After all, when they link to you, they’re recommending you to their customers. They wouldn’t want to recommend someone who won’t reflect well on them.

If you trade reciprocal links with another webmaster, check occasionally to ensure that your link is indeed posted, and posted correctly. And do the same courtesy for them – be sure you have their link up and active somewhere it will be noticed on your website.

How to Buy Pure Hoodia Gordonii Pills

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

Have you ever heard of pure Hoodia diet pills? These are an herbal appetite suppressant that is considered to be an excellent product that can help you lose weight naturally. Finding pure Hoodia diet pills is the hardest part. That is because there are so many products out there which claim to be pure original products that are really fakes. In fact, most of the Hoodia that you find for sale will be a false. This is why it is so important for you to do your research and learn as much as you can about the product before you buy. You really don’t want to end up with cheap imitation when you are trying to lose weight naturally.

You may be wondering why there are so many fakes out there and the answer is that pure Hoodia is very hard to find. It grows in the hot regions of South Africa and there are several different Hoodia plants available. Out of all the Hoodia plants that grow, only one the Hoodia Gordonii, can be used as an appetite suppressant. If the herb is hard to come by, then it stands to reason that it is also hard to find pure Hoodia diet pills. Some brands that are believed to be pure Hoodia diet pills are the sold by the Strictly Health Corp, Millennium Health, King Hoodia, Hoodia Max and the Desert Burn.

Before buying your pure Hoodia diet pills you must check out the reputation of the store from which you are considering using. Try to talk to others that have used the company and see what they have to say about them. Check with the Better Business Bureau to see if the company has had complaints filed against them. Lean as much as you can about the Hoodia plants and what is actually consider pure. You must also remember that if it does not say Hoodia Gordonii, then it is not the real plant that is used for suppressing your appetite.

Always remember that no testing process, regulations or certifications are required when it comes to this herb. This means that you do not have any guarantee that you are buying pure Hoodia diet pills. This is why there is so much discrepancy when it comes to rather or not Hoodia really works. If you get the real pure Hoodia diet pills then you will have great results, but if you get the false ones then you may not see any results at all. Use caution and read the label carefully before purchasing your Hoodia and if you buy some that don’t work, you may want to use a new company the next time you want to place an order for anything.

World Chat

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

I was surprised at some of the people I came across on the net what’s really peculiar is the reality that they’re logging in from PCs and Macs all over the world. You may be lounging in your living room in California, but the individual you’re chatting with could be in Central America. This is remarkable. We’re essentially all linked with such simplicity now. Then again, there is obviously a disadvantage to this current technology. Being online and in a chat site also means that you’re permitting others within. Some of which may have poor intentions. I don’t know if you’ve watched Dateline recently, but their sting operations are catching continual sex offenders, which is excellent. On the other hand, it’s depressing to believe there are numerous sexual deviants out there among us. These guys are plainly in each town and city across the world. At least with Internet chat rooms we can place a lot of them behind bars.

How to Locate Waterfront Property Rentals

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

The traditional, time-honored way to search for rentals has been to visit the area where you want to vacation, look around, and find a home that interests you. In many resort towns, rentals have signs out front with the owner or property manager’s name and phone number displayed. In some waterfront resort destination areas, these signs may be very discretely placed, due to concerns about appearance, so you may have to search a little. Also, the owners of rentals may only put the sign out when they have vacancies in their schedule.

Perhaps the most recognizable tool for fishing is the hook. No one knows for certain, but it’s quite probable prehistoric man was using some form of a fishing hook over 40,000 years ago. Experts have had some problems pinning down exact dates since they know most of the materials used back then were most likely wood and not very durable. British Isle anglers catch fish with hooks made from the hawthorn bush, right up to the present day.

Niche Marketing with Great Articles

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

One of the most magnificent qualities of the Internet is that, by bringing the world close together, it enables people who fill one tiny corner of interest to come together, marketing to each other, sharing ideas, and growing as a niche community. For instance, consider antique marble collecting. I don’t know many people who collect antique marbles. But if I do a search online, I can find dozens of sites that specialize in it, many with excellent information on their sites, places to trade and sell my antique marbles, and tools with which to make my own marbles.

How can you leverage the enormous power of niche marketing?

The best way is by providing your web site with great content focused directly at these niche markets. Instead of selling to the masses who are interested in Bono and Coca-cola, sell to those who are hungry for information and resources concerning their special interest.

In order to do this, you must identify yourself as an expert in the field you’re targeting.

Becoming A Guru

Gurus are the wise men who sit on the mountains, dispensing advice. You don’t have to sit on a mountain but you do need to dispense advice if you’re going to be a guru. This means you should know what you’re talking about.

Online, degrees and education don’t mean as much as the information you can prove you have. The way you prove your knowledge online is by supplying your website, whether it’s a sales website or a networking one, with great, original, valuable content.

This is great news for anyone who writes well. Despite its promotion as a great image-based medium, the Internet is primarily a text-based medium. It delivers pictures, music, and video very well indeed, but most information today is contained in text, and the search engines that catalog your website deal in text as well (even the image-based search engines focus on the titles and descriptive text you assign to your pictures and video).

But what if you know your niche market, but don’t write well? There’s a solution for that too. You can purchase content others have written for you, or you can have content custom-written for your niche market.

Finding Great Content

There are numerous great places to find content online to add to your website, and – better yet – you can get the content for free.

Or so it would seem.

Sites like GoArticles and Idea Marketers are known as article directories. They provide the service of matching well-written, informative content with webmasters who desperately need it. The articles are free for the taking, with the caveat that if you display one on your website, you must also cite the article’s author and link to his or her website.

Well, free isn’t always free. And in this case, when you’re trying to establish yourself as a knowledgeable expert in a niche market, it’s likely to undermine your entire purpose. When you list someone else as the author of an informative article on your website, you’re setting that other person up as the guru on your website. And you’re even providing this competing guru with the ultimate marketing tool – a link to his or her website when they’ve just interested the customer with an excellent piece of information.

Instead of using article directories, you’re better off running articles on your website that you can claim as your own. You want articles ghostwritten for you, and the way to obtain them is to go to article brokers. These companies deal with private label articles, content that you can claim as your own because all rights to the article have been sold by the author. Instead of advertising someone else as the guru, you’ve just shown your customers that you, yourself, are the knowledgeable one.

Articles, Newsletters, and Ebooks

Private label articles can be used either as individual articles or content on your website, or they can be used to build newsletters that you can send out to subscribers. If you get a nice collection of articles, you can even create ebooks to sell or give away to your customers as reference sources. All of these purposes are valid and intelligent ways to use private label articles, and any of them will drive business to, not away from, your website
