More and more website owners realize the benefits of top search engine ranking. Therefore, they are willing to invest their time and money in search engine optimization. At the same time, many search engine optimization problems arise. I am trying to address some of them in this article.
Question 1. For the sake of time saving, I just scan our pamphlet as an image file and put it on our main site. Can you help me optimize the website for high ranking?
Your pamphlet may contain lots of text for visitors to read. Since you only scan it as an image file, search engines only recognize that you have a single image file in your webpage. Simply put, they just treat it like a photo or a graphic, and do not convert your image text for analysis and indexing. A solution is to add an alt attribute for the image. It is a bit better because a few HTML text are available for search engines to "understand" your webpage content. However, comparing with rich HTML text in a webpage, text in alt attribute is too few for search engines to analyze importance of your webpage.
Therefore, I do not recommend this approach although it may save you time in building a webpage.
Question 2. If I implement a seo campaign, does it mean that I can give up my pay per click search engines marketing (PPC marketing)?
SEO campaign and ppc marketing are not mutually exclusive. On the contrary, they are complementary with each other. First, I suggest you implement both natural SEO and ppc marketing for high conversion keywords. You can get more exposure in the search result pages. Second, because of copywriting or marketing communications consideration, you may not be able to implement SEO for all useful keywords. Under this circumstance, why not use ppc marketing as an alternative? For example, the word "pay-per-click search marketing", "ppc marketing", "search engine marketing", "paid search" are more or less with the same meaning. However, it may be confusing to use all the terms interchangeably throughout your website.
Question 3. My boss wants to have a full flash website so that our company site is more visually appealing. Can you help me to optimize the website after we make a full flash website?
From experience, many search engines cannot "read" content from flash files. In many cases, search engines only treat flash file as if it is a single image file. They do not index the text or follow the navigation links to index content.
Matt Cutts, a Google representative, mentioned that Google has some improvements in reading textual content of a flash file by utilizing search engine SDK tool offered by Adobe/Macromedia. However, the tool has not been updated frequently and extract text out of a flash file correctly is difficult. To conclude, reading textual content from flash file is still at a preliminary stage.
It implies that a full flash website is unlikely to be well indexed by search engines. If natural top search engine ranking is very important to your success, it is not recommended to make a full flash website unless you have a large ppc marketing budget or very confident to create high link popularity over short period of time.
Question 4. Does a dedicated IP address help my search engine rankings?
Dedicated IP address is not an imperative to get top search engine ranking. Many websites with top search engine ranking are using shared web hosting plans. It means that they are sharing the same IP address with other webmasters with low search engine ranking.
However, if your IP address is shared with many search engine spammers, your site´s ranking can be adversely affected. Therefore, some search engine marketers prefer to get a dedicated IP address from their web hosts.
Question 5. If I have lots of content in a webpage, is it better to separate the content into 2 webpages?
I think it depends on search engines. For example, Google crawls only about the first 101 kilobytes of a webpage. If your content is more than 101Kb, you´d better separating the content into 2 webpages.
Question 6. Why does my site suddenly disappear in Google?
There are several reasons for Google to exclude your site. First, you must make sure that your site meets Google´s quality guideline, i.e. no spamming. For example, you do not put hidden text and links in your website. Second, your site is not hacked. Third, you should check whether your site has some malware. Last but not least, your site may be too new and Google is in the process of refreshing their index. During the process, Google may fall back to the old index version and hence your site suddenly disappears.
Question 7. How can I increase ranking of internal sub-pages?
Many webmasters found that sub-pages of their sites have poor search engine ranking and want to improve rankings of sub-pages. To solve the problem, you should ensure the sub-pages are not buried too deep within a site. Important sub-pages should get more internal links via cross linking related pages. In addition, you should try to get some external site links to your specific sub-pages.

What are the most effective ways to get your site listed in Google quickly? Let's look at the top 7 ways to attract Google to your site:
Posting in authority forums - Forums often have a high Page Rank, which is crucial for ranking well in the search engines. Be sure to include your website's link in your signature. Don't spam the forums as you'll get kicked out quickly. Post useful content so forum posters will reply to your topic, keeping your topic high up on the page.
Create a blog - Blog sites like Wordpress and Blogger are regarded as authority sites by Google. By creating backlinks in a blog, you can get indexed by Google pretty quickly. You can also post relevant comments on other blogs and recommend your site in the process.
Use social bookmarking/networking sites - Again, make use of authority sites to increase your site's Page Rank. Post useful content at your MySpace blog and include a backlink to your website. Sites like Digg.com are also great for getting quick, quality backlinks for fast indexing.
Squidoo - Squidoo is a blogging platform on steroids. In recent times, Squidoo sites are getting great listings on the search engines. It's a little harder to set up a Squidoo site than it is to set up a blog, but the effort will pay off in spades.
Write articles - Articles are 'viral traffic generators' because they are often syndicated by content publishers when they are posted up at article directories. Use them to build useful backlinks. The more articles you write, the more backlinks you get.

So which is more important, to please the visitors or the search engine spiders? The unequivocal answer is to please the visitors. What good is a site that attracts spiders but not actual people? And what good is a site that only attracts some visitors but not search engine spiders?
In this article, we will go over writing content that interests and pleases both your readers and the spiders.
So how do you write content that pleases a visitor?
First, stick to writing content that is relevant to your site. That means that if your site is about Rock music, you should not have any content about dogs, as that only makes your site look bad and repels visitors.
Second, write content in an easy to understand, conversational format. Do not use big, fancy words just for the sake of looking smart or pleasing search engine bots. I can't count the number of times I've visited a site with content that is so hard to comprehend that I do not wish to ever come back to that site again. You want to make a good first impression on anyone who takes the time to look at your site, so make sure your content is easy to understand.
Third, never ever write content that is long, dull, and boring. If the point you are trying to get across can be said more concisely in 500 words, than why waste another 300 words droning on and on about the topic? This is a huge turnoff to potential visitors.
Fourth, make sure that all of your content is grammatically correct. I know, this is hard because we live in the instant messenger world, where sentences like "how r u?", are thought to be acceptable. However, anyone who is well-educated will appreciate good grammar. Make your site shine in this department.
Fifth, don't overuse keywords and keyword phrases. In other words, don't make it blatantly obvious to the reader that you are trying to attract search engine spiders to your site. Make an effort to make sure that your keywords and keyword phrases flow into the content of the article. This is easier said than done, but can be accomplished with a little fine tuning.
But what about search engine spiders? How do I please them?
Search engine spiders are actually very easy to please, much easier than actual human beings. This is because search engine spiders aren't subjective--they don't care what the subject is about; they just care about the number keywords and keyword phrases.
The only way you can possibly displease a search engine spider is by overusing a keyword/keyword phrase and making your site smell like spam. Search engine spiders are now more advanced than ever, and so they are better able to ignore sites that are full of spam. Too many keywords or keyword phrases that are blatantly there will hinder your site from being crawled by spiders.
Keyword density of 1-3% is generally considered to be good. Any less than 1% is bad and will make it harder for your site to get listed on search engines; any more than 4% makes your site look like spam. Keyword density is basically the number of keywords or keyword phrases in a piece of content divided by the total number of words. Before you write your article, take some time to make up a short list of keywords that are relevant to the topic at hand. Then try to naturally sprinkle them into your content, so that your content will please both the search engine bots and your readers. If you are able to do that, you will have a successful site in no time. Not only will the search bots love you, but actual people will, too!
Writing content that is good for both people and search engines is an absolute essential to making your site a powerhouse. So follow the rules above and you will be able to write excellent, pleasing content!

Introduction
Webmasters perform SEO and want to get good search engine ranking in Google because it is the most popular search engine in the world. However, you must be aware that Google is very strict in fighting against manipulation of search engine ranking.
To make sure your website has potential to get top Google ranking, your SEO effort must alert the following:
Website Structure and Content Development
Make a site with a clear hierarchy and text links. Every page should be reachable from at least one static text link. The key point is a clear hierarchy, and reachable from static text link.
Offer a site map. It is a very important SEO element for Google to index your web pages and assign appropriate search engine popularity scores (link popularity) to your web pages. It is particularly useful for large websites.
Create a useful, information-rich site, and write pages that clearly and accurately describe your content with words users would type to find your pages. Google clearly states that they love information-rich website. So, SEO should emphasize on content development, and not SEO tricks.
Try to use text instead of images to display important names, content, or links. The Google crawler doesn't recognize text contained in images. If you use images, make sure you provide descriptive and accurate ALT tags.
Avoiding SEO Spam
The fundamental works for SEO is to ensure only search engine acceptable practices are used, that is, make pages for users, not for search engines. If you or your SEO company implements unacceptable SEO practices or tricks, your website can be banned and removed from search engine index. This is especially true for Google. From experience, they are very determined to fight against search engine spam.
Therefore, you must alert that you do not commit in unacceptable SEO practices listed below:
Don't deceive your users or present different content to search engines than you display to users, which is commonly referred to as "cloaking." Cloaking refers to the practice of presenting different content or URLs to users and search engines, for example, showing different content to search engines than to users, or present HTML version to search engines and present Flash pages to users. Serving up different results based on user agent can be perceived as cloaking.
Hiding text or links in your content can cause your site to be perceived as untrustworthy since it presents information to search engines differently than to visitors.
Text (such as excessive keywords) can be hidden in several ways, including but not limited to the following "black-hat" SEO techniques: white text on white background, use of CSS display:none or display: hidden to hide text, including text behind an image via DIV tag or layering techniques, small font size such as setting font size to 0. Some SEO companies believe that Google cannot detect spam if CSS tricks are used. Unfortunately, this is wrong.
Links can be hidden including but not limited to the following "black-hat" SEO techniques: link consists of hidden text, use of CSS to make tiny hyperlink such as text with one pixel high, link hidden in a small character such as hyperlink a hyphen in middle of a web page.
"Keyword stuffing" refers to the practice of loading a webpage with keywords in an attempt to manipulate a site's ranking in Google's search results. Excessive keywords in a meaningful web page can be perceived as keyword stuffing. Proper SEO must take care of this element.
Duplicate content generally refers to substantive blocks of content within or across domains that either completely match other content or are appreciably similar. Google tries hard to index and show pages with distinct information. This filtering means, for instance, that if your site has a "regular" and "printer" version of each article, and neither of these is blocked in robots.txt or with a noindex meta tag, Google will choose one of them to list.
In the rare cases in which Google perceives that duplicate content may be shown with intent to manipulate our rankings and deceive our users, Google also make appropriate adjustments in the indexing and ranking of the sites involved. Google implies that your website or whole network of websites can be penalized with low search engine rankings or removed from their index. Are you willing to take this risks and continue to build shadow websites?
For some reasons, if you cannot avoid duplicate content, Google suggests you can make use of robots.txt file to avoid Google indexing duplicated web pages or websites.
Alternatively, you can re-think of consolidate duplicated pages into 1 or expand each page to contain unique content.
Conclusion
SEO is not meaning of applying tricks to manipulate search engine ranking. SEO is about making a website search engine friendly and trustworthy, and building reputation to your website. To be search engine friendly and trustworthy, you must avoid unacceptable search engine optimization practices described above. If your SEO service provider is committing to those practices, stop to use them now and remove all spammy elements before your site get banned.

Some SEO consulting firms are enjoying strong success and a growing client base. The success of search engine marketing continues while other media suffer from ailing economies in specific industries. Bay Street SEO Company enjoyed an outstanding year in 2006 and is enjoying further growth this year. Revenues from search engine consulting projects increased 45% from 2005 with the acquisition of 5 new major clients. Substantial growth in outsourced SEO work from advertising agencies contributed to 2006's improvements. 4 new client acquisitions in 2007 have provided a further growth of 25% over 2006 revenues. New clients include two real estate agencies. Satisfied with last year's results, several clients are undertaking major new web site projects which will require complete SEO and SEM solutions. 2007 will be the firm's best year.
Toronto, ON (PRWEB) May 15, 2007 -- The growth of search engine marketing continues to surprise many in the advertising industry. Although search engine marketing expenditures are small in comparison with overall marketing expenditures, SEM as its called is growing fast and a subset of SEM called SEO (search engine optimization) is generating sales growth for firms who specialize in improving presence in organic search engine listings in Google, Yahoo and MSN.
Bay Street SEO Company enjoyed an outstanding year in 2006 and is enjoying further growth this year. Revenues from search engine consulting projects increased 45% from 2005 with the acquisition of 5 new major clients. Substantial growth in outsourced SEO work from advertising agencies contributed to 2006's improvements. 4 new client acquisitions in 2007 have provided a further growth of 25% over 2006 revenues. New clients include two real estate agencies. Satisfied with last year's results, several clients are undertaking major new web site projects which will require complete SEO and SEM solutions.
Two major clients including Dream Homes Magazine and Delta Hotels have enjoyed phenomenal 200% to 400% growth in traffic. This is despite setbacks in the travel and real estate industries in 2006 and with further declines expected in 2007. No reduction in Web site visits has been experienced by any of our clients demonstrating the resilience search engines possess within slowing economies. Another client, Lawyershop, has maintained its performance of 2005 becoming the top legal directory in Canada. Bay Street SEO's client's preference for search engine promotion over traditional media has proven to be wise, generating ongoing results, rather than a one-time promotional gain.
The market for search engine companies is strong and Google, the leading search engine, enjoys a search marketshare of more than 70% by some accounts and enjoyed a record 10.6 billion dollars in revenue in 2006 up from 6.1 Billion in 2006. They have reported a first-quarter revenue of 3.66 billion. That provides greater exposure for web sites listed in their search engine results pages, thus fuelling more demand for SEO specialist firms.
Bay Street SEO's clients are also expressing a greater interest in pay per click advertising. New PPC campaign development is expected to generate 10% of total revenues in 2007.
SEO consulting and services industry trends have shown a drift away from sophisticated optimization techniques toward mass linking building efforts. This is response to Google's strong reliance on link analysis to rank web sites. Yet prospects contacting us are expressing doubt and disappointment with the cost of paid link building and want to return to natural optimization campaigns. Bay Street SEO's clients with low Pagerank Web sites have seen outstanding rankings demonstrating that search engines are dealing with link spam and ranking well optimized sites. We expect the search engines to make major algorithm shifts that will diminish the power of paid text link and link exchanges. This will generate significant demand once again for on-site optimization techniques, which Bay Street SEO specializes in.
In-house SEO has been another industry trend that is not expected to limit future client base growth as new clients. The wide range of skills needed for top flight SEO is very difficult to develop. These skills include web programming, research, design, copywriting, marketing, and ingenuity in combining those skills will ensure demand for full-service SEO firms.
Bay Street SEO. Their clients in the travel, sports, software, real estate, printing, marketing, and advertising sectors have enjoyed phenomenal growth in traffic and sales.
Many of Bay Street SEOs clients enjoyed quick success in 2006 while others had to wait for "link-aging" delays to pass before finding themselves with top ranks, but their patience was well rewarded. One client saw an amazing doubling of their already high search engine referrals. Another enjoyed a 3,000% return on SEO investment ($600,000 from $20,000 fee). Ad agencies are showing strong interest in hiring professional optimizers in 2007 since they are under pressure to generate significant, not mediocre results. Bay Street SEO now provides SEO consulting services for 3 advertising agencies.
The rate of growth in prospective clients and actual clients in 2006/07 will continue to improve due to increased investments in online promotion.
About Search Engine Optimization
Search engine optimization is a process of ensuring the web site's copy content, its keyword usage and semantics is in concert with search engine's ranking algorithms. Search engines rank web sites by way of a number of factors. It isn't the presence of keywords on Web sites or their density that creates rankings, a misconception that results in disappointment for many companies trying in-house SEO for the first time.

Lead by 8 year SEO specialist and author Gord Collins, the Canadian based company specializes in search engine optimization and Google Adwords pay per click advertising campaigns. Bay Street has clients in a diverse range of industries including health, beauty, gaming, legal, manufacturing, travel, real estate, advertising and marketing.

Company Clinches Back-to-Back Wins for Best Enterprise Search Engine
WebSideStory, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSSI) , a leading provider of real-time customer intelligence solutions, today announced it has won the 2007 Codie Award in the Best Enterprise Search Engine category for the second straight year. The company's WebSideStory Search 4.0, one of six finalists in this category, won the accolades presented by the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) at the 22nd Annual Codie Awards Gala held on April 17, 2007, in San Francisco, based on its outstanding ability to bring relevant information to users via its patent-pending Active Browsing capability that leverages Ajax to power the site search experience. WebSideStory Search won last year for its ability to automatically rank site search relevancy based on the broad spectrum of Web site behavioral data available.
"We are honored and excited to win this prestigious award two years in a row," said Brian Sullivan, SVP and general manager of Search and Content Solutions at WebSideStory. "WebSideStory Search with Active Browsing provides a new way of searching that delivers more content faster to the site visitor. This capability delivers a user experience that optimizes visitor behavior and increases the overall business value for our customers."
The "clickless browsing experience" available in WebSideStory Search enables users to search and preview facet information and "more like this" categories simply by rolling their mouse over specified search results. WebSideStory Search offers industry-first functionality by leveraging Ajax, a Web 2.0 technology that helps to deliver greatly enhanced speed and interactivity, and subsequently, an improved visitor experience. This service adds to an already robust set of enterprise search capabilities that can be leveraged to support a wide range of online initiatives -- enabling self-service sites to drive call center deflection, enhancing the commerce search experience to increase sales and improving information access on news and media web sites.
"It is uncommon for a company to win an award in the same category two years in a row," said Ken Wasch, SIIA president. "This is a real tribute to WebSideStory and its highly innovative and unique approach to site search technology. Despite fierce competition, and the fact that we had more submissions than last year, no other company in this category was able to 'wow' the judges enough to take the win away from them this year."
The Codie Awards celebrate achievement and vision in software, education technology and digital content. This year's finalists were chosen from more than 1,200 nominations submitted by more than 600 companies -- breaking the record set in the 2006 awards.

Incisive Media announced today that more than 7,000 executives, marketers, business owners, webmasters and web search professionals turned out this year for Search Engine Strategies (SES) New York Conference & Expo. The conference, part of the Search Engine Strategies global series (www.SearchEngineStrategies.com), featured four content-rich days of engaging sessions and an extra day of web search training, both led by sought-after industry experts.
Attendees learned how to optimize ROI through search engine marketing and optimization efforts, and gained early insight into what's coming next in the constantly evolving world of web search. “Hot” sessions included Mobile Search Optimization & Meet the Mobile Search Engines, Auditing Paid Listings & Click Fraud Issues, Ad Agencies: Understanding the Search Difference, and Images & Search Engines.
“We’re proud to organize the world's most comprehensive gathering of search engine marketing and optimization-related professionals,” said Matt McGowan, Vice President of Marketing for Incisive Media. “As the SES shows continue to grow in popularity, we will continue to prove our commitment to highly appealing and instructive programs for this thriving community.”
Web search veteran Steve Berkowitz, senior vice president of Microsoft’s Online Services Group, was the featured speaker. Berkowitz — known for his role in the launch of Microsoft Live Search — discussed Microsoft's moves and ambitions in search.
Additionally, industry corporations capitalized on SES to showcase news of acquisitions. Most notably, Google announced on Friday the 13th that it would acquire DoubleClick for $3.1 billion – a deal that is expected to close by the end of the year. Google anticipates that this partnership will make the Internet more efficient for end users, advertisers, and publishers.
Announced on April 12th, Reprise Media was acquired by the Interpublic Group. It is the intention that Reprise remains independent and serves as a resource to the various IPG agencies, helping when their resources don't allow, including contribution to IPG's search marketing needs.

“We’re proud to organize the world's most comprehensive gathering of search engine marketing and optimization-related professionals,” said Matt McGowan, Vice President of Marketing for Incisive Media. “As the SES shows continue to grow in popularity, we will continue to prove our commitment to highly appealing and instructive programs for this thriving community.”

hakia, the Web’s new meaning-based search engine, which became the first-ever search engine to mix news with Web search results in August 2006, has announced
immediate doubling of content volume in its “news with Web search results.” The technology upgrade further assures split-second freshness-of-results to a given query.
Unlike other search engines, hakia's semantic capability does not require a list of trigger words.
According to Dr. Riza C. Berkan, CEO of hakia, "Our approach is to analyze news content without relying on designated trigger words. This capability is due to full-scale
semantic analysis that we can perform in a split second, on-the-fly. With this announcement one sees that the future of searching dynamic content is already here. The
standard practice had been to bring news only if your query included a trigger word or phrase like 'election votes'."
The proprietary SemanticRankTM algorithm lets hakia analyze news content in a split-second, unlike other search algorithms which rely on the accumulation of statistics for
popularity-based ranking. “There is no time to collect popularity votes for news content, thus the only means for effective search is the semantic approach, which does a
complete job almost instantaneously," added Dr. Berkan.
hakia continues its development and evolution through its BETA operation, and expects to reach maturation by the end of 2007. Until then, the company plans to continue to
increase its news-mixing capacity.
About hakia
hakia has developed the Web’s new meaning-based search engine, utilizing a radically new infrastructure designed to deliver the most relevant search results. Founded in
2004, the company is privately held and based in New York City. Go to http://www.hakia.com.

Search engine optimization writer Beverly Aarons secures the #1 Google News spot for Text2Store Mobile Corporation.
Search engine optimization writer Beverly Aarons (www.beverlyaarons.com) secured the #1 Google News spot for Text2Store Mobile Corporation www.text2store.com using an SEO (search engine optimization) press release designed to attract both businesses and individuals to this mobile coupon company. "Search engine optimization doesn't mean articles and press releases that are mechanical and boring," says Aarons, an award-winning writer. "Search engine optimized articles and press releases should provide useful information to the reader, accomplish client goals, while simultaneously helping search engines locate the content. That's something I kept in mind when creating Text2Store's press release," she added.
When writing Text2Store's press release, Aarons recognized the competitive nature of the online coupon business and determined search engine optimization to be the best choice for Text2Store's content. "We needed to beat the competitors to the punch," said Aarons. "After doing research on mobile coupons, I wrote a press release using search engine optimization that announced Text2Store's service and informed businesses of how they would benefit from that service," Aarons added.
Aarons stresses the importance of recognizing search engine optimization as one of many tools that can be used to attract customers online and it should not be seen as a replacement for good writing that provides useful information to the reader. "When creating SEO content I consider the reader, the client and the search engines. If I can create search engine optimized content that meets the expectations of all three, I'm in a win-win situation."

Public sector websites are no different to any other, when it comes to driving up usage. Online marketing is essential to getting usage, and Search Engine Optimisation is one highly crucial tool in the armoury for any local authority or central government websites. Here, SEO expert Gary R. Beal advises on 12 top tips to maximise online reach in 2007.
1. Content – Regular, frequent and high quality content produced by people with knowledge in the field, or people that you can trust to do their homework before jumping headfirst into writing it. This is crucial both at the search engine algo level and the PPC campaign design level.
And its not just a fresh article once a month. If you examine your log files you will see how often the SERP’s comeback to visit. Once you are in good with them, they hit your site 1-3+ times a day. It will only do this if it sees fresh content, via your navigation.
There is a point at which the bots will and won’t come back and crawl. They won’t if they don’t see fresh content. They will come back to your index (homepage) to find the fresh content, if they don’t find it they will leave. If they do find fresh content they will continue to navigate throughout your site via the ‘proper’ navigation mentioned in this list below.
Fresh content throughout your entire site is costly and time-consuming, but will separate you and elevate you from the rest.
2. Inbound links to your site from relevant and trusted sites – Links from trusted sites; links from pages with a higher PR(4+) and less than 50 outbound links; links from pages with a lower PR and less than 10-25 outbound links (Keyword-rich anchor text as well).
Preferably forums and blogs (or Viral Marketing) are some of the strongest referrers. This needs to be a permanent, ongoing project, and the links should be in place for at least 12-18 months for optimal effect. Getting 50 or 1000 this month, then dropping to just a few next month is a huge red flag for all the SE’s. A steady link building scheme is required to earn top rankings. This means no link farm’s.
Let me quickly explain about link farms and the way that the SE's see them.
If you are actively and voluntarily participating in a linking scheme you are trying to manipulate their results. They value natural linking in their algorithms highly so they do not look on link farms kindly now, or anytime in the future. It is one of the possible methods they have to value a website. This is why you hear so many of the pros say "content is king".
One way or the other you need to attract traffic naturally or the least make it look like you have.
3. Individual Title and Descriptions - The argument is alive and well, and continuing as it has and will for several years. Title tags are how the SE’s identify the relevancy of your page (compared to the end-users search query), not just in Organic ranking but in Paid Placement as well.
Descriptions are how (organically) the SE’s place a relevancy rating on your page.
4. Site Architecture/Navigation – This includes menus, all the way to how each section on a site’s pages are interlinked with each other.
5. Keyword Terminology - In your content, use 2 or 3 word keyword phrases that are likely to be searched for by users. Don’t over-do-it, but be sure everything is in line and included - Keyword Title; Keyword phrase in description (1st line); Internal navigation keyword links; Fresh keyword rich content.
6. Universal XML Sitemaps - Providing an XML sitemap is one of the easiest things you can do to help search engines traverse your site. Google, Yahoo and MSN have all adopted this “standardized” tool. Having a sitemap and then submitting it through WEBMASTER Central will tell you not only when the crawl (usually 1-2 days) is complete, but also if there are any errors that the bots found.
7. Rich Media – Or concentrating on utilising video, image and audio search. Google is and I believe Yahoo and MSN will be offering big incentives to move into these areas, provided you can utilize this according to your current ad structure, demographics and product or service. Flash builders are a dime-a-dozen. Utilize them to create interactive ads.
8. Web 2.0 - Utilising blogs and forums more to improve search such as www.flickr.com , www.myspace.com , www.technorati.com, www.simpy.com, and others. Also put these “public bookmarks” buttons (AddMe to Google) in your site and your articles.
9. Mobile Web - Google, Yahoo and MSN mobile are nearing and making your site accessible to all mobile web browsers is increasingly important.
Remember when Firefox and Opera came out and everything didn’t work or look right? (kinda like today on a much smaller scale). That’s all there is to becoming mobile compliant.
10. Content Relevancy - ensuring everything is neat and relevant across a site. Irrelevant links and content could be detrimental. Map your entire site in a hand-written tree and link them accordingly. Then use this to create a sitemap, and add a link to it to your homepage, and/or your navigation.
11. Constant Monitoring of Paid and Organic Analytical Information - Re-evaluation and improvements based on user stats and new industry changes.
Having an expert in this field is vital. (e.g. If you have a PPC account with a few thousand keywords that are working for you that is proving successful, great job. If you want to double the traffic whilst cutting your costs in half, then you’ll need an expert to know what these analytics mean)
12. Become a More Trusted Site – Links are great but links from trusted sites are KING. If you need to work 10 times as long writing articles, creating Charitable Ebay auctions, endorsing a football team or a fraternity, do whatever you have to do to get links such as from a .edu or .gov.
This will almost instantly boost your trust and especially your organic rankings. Other potential trust issues include GeoTrust and HackerSafe certifications or even going to a secure server.
A Word About Website Popularity - Yes, this is measured by all the search engines, and always has been. (Remember when you open your Google PPC account and it asked you about providing behaviorally statistical
information?)
Whether you use analytical and tracking tools or not, all the SE’s do. This is part of the method they used to use before the more advanced algorithms of today. Unfortunately, you can’t directly control this, but with the rest of these tips you can definitely improve it.

He has worked for many years in lead aggregation for highly competitive industries such as Online Gaming, Banking and Finance, Insurance, Travel and Investments.
1. Content – Regular, frequent and high quality content produced by people with knowledge in the field, or people that you can trust to do their homework before jumping headfirst into writing it. This is crucial both at the search engine algo level and the PPC campaign design level.
And its not just a fresh article once a month. If you examine your log files you will see how often the SERP’s comeback to visit. Once you are in good with them, they hit your site 1-3+ times a day. It will only do this if it sees fresh content, via your navigation.
There is a point at which the bots will and won’t come back and crawl. They won’t if they don’t see fresh content. They will come back to your index (homepage) to find the fresh content, if they don’t find it they will leave. If they do find fresh content they will continue to navigate throughout your site via the ‘proper’ navigation mentioned in this list below.
Fresh content throughout your entire site is costly and time-consuming, but will separate you and elevate you from the rest.
2. Inbound links to your site from relevant and trusted sites – Links from trusted sites; links from pages with a higher PR(4+) and less than 50 outbound links; links from pages with a lower PR and less than 10-25 outbound links (Keyword-rich anchor text as well).

Link building explained in simple term means spreading word about your business on the web. On the web, the more you are visible the more popular your business will be.

If they have used link building services earlier, they will surely guide you in getting the work done in the best possible manner. You can approach the company which has done the work for them and find out if they will be able to do the work for you or not.
Remember every business is different and thus promotion means are also different. So do not think that just because a particular link building strategy has worked for your friend does not mean that this will work for you as well. Talk with the professionals who will provide link building service to you and find out which strategy will best suit your business.

as webmaster know, search engine optimization is a tedious job and process for a long term goal. Creating or optimizing site to rank high is a challenge. Different and thousands of questions left unanswered like how can one maintain the rank on search engines. As for thoughts on seo do's and dont's here are some points to consider.
DO's on SEO
1.Natural Link Buil-Up. Creating links on natural way means having links to your site on a long term not in a thousand link on a snap or a blink in of an eye.
2. Creating a search engine friendly url or links. This clearly indicates good points where search engine bots can easily crawl your site without those long url or session id attached to the page being optimized.
3. Quality backlinks or related backlinks. Meaning if your site is about food, webmaster should have links pointing to their site that is related or close to related on food topic.
4. Avoid linking to sites you think and considered to be spam sites.
5. On links pointing to your site. Be sure that your site is on the page where links are enough and cannot be more than 100 site on one page.
6. Links signature should be the keyword you want your site to be optimized.
7. On the issue of keyword. A varying keywords also helps on site optimization. Not just a single word for keyword but a phrase help. Say you want your site to be optimize for word "actress", you can try combination that have actress on it, taking an example like, "site for actress" or the like.
8. Be sure that sitemap is accessible on your site on both grounds. From search engine bots view and human view. Site should be accessible by bots meaning bots can crawl your site without a blockage unless you want your site not to be crawled. Human readable sitemap helps on visitors navigation to your site.
9.Utilize the power of article submission.
10. A descriptive title of your site or pages that meets the quality guidelines of search engine like title not greater than 30 characters.
11.On content. A fresh and relevant content is basically a must have on a site. Sites not updated for a long time make it look like dead on human view and on search engine view.
12. On site description. Be constructive on your site description. Having your keyword on your site description repetitively can hurt your site on search engines.
DONT's on SEO
1. Building links in a glance. Too early links like a thousand links in a short span of time can put your site on the sandbox of penalized.
2. Avoiding link farms.
3. Redirect site to other pages can also hurt site integrity.
4. Hidden text to fool search engines to rank high is also being pick up by bots thus considering your site out of their quality guidelines
5. Avoid submitting your site using automatic submission service.
6. DONT SPAM.

An idea formulated in your mind and you acted on it. You started a company and soon you created a website. How do you go about promoting the website to generate traffic to come to your website? You need to engage in search engine optimization (seo) to cleanly help generate traffic to your website. Clean seo revolves around making changes to your website to better help google and yahoo in particular index your site, and get into the top spots for specific keywords. The first step in seo is to add yourself to every known search engine available. This includes google, yahoo, dmoz, and every other search engine you can get into. submitting to more sites than those is fine, but don't expect a lot of hits. You can do this first because it sometimes takes weeks or even months for the bots of the various search engines to come around to index your website. The next is to create accounts for google sitemaps and yahoo explorer. Both of these are places where you will need to create a sitemap of your website. A sitemap is a simple xml or txt file that lists all the available pages on your website. It helps the bot going around to your site index it properly. once you have done that you need to work on your site.
You need to make sure that the keywords that you're trying to obtain are really worth your time. Trying to get a #1 spot for the keyword "clothing" probably isn't worth your time and effort. Instead you should use a keyword selector tool like overture's. It will let you type in a specific keyword like "clothing" and then see alternatives that people are searching for. Once you find out the keywords that you're interested in head over to your web files and start editing your files. You need to insert the < meta name="keywords" content="purple hats, velvet hats" / > on every page. You can adjust the keywords depending on the product and what you're specifically trying to target. Once you have completed this you need to do the same for your title and description. no one is probably going to search for your specific company name, so you need to create a catchy title and description that garners genuine interest in your website. Avoid putting your company name at the front of the title; instead put it at th end. For your description describe what your company does in a unique way. avoid descriptions that focus on, "cheap clothes here." Instead appear professional in your description, while utilizing the space to wisely describe what you have to offer.
Once you have that you have the absolute basics down. you will now want to focus on creating content to drive customers to your site. Can you write an article that is unique to the industry that you're in? Do you offer a blog? Do you have some insight that others would find interesting? What you're trying to do here is drive customers to your website, and then link to your website on their own. Google and Yahoo in particular find that reciprocal linking is a good way to track the effectiveness of a website. If 10k people are linked to a website then obviously there is something there that is worth seeing. You will subsequently move up in the search results for those various websites.
