Acronyms are all the rage!

If you’ve been doing any keyword research at all then you’ve probably found that in most searches, and quite often in Google SERPs too, you come across small apparently meaningless acronyms that somehow your search has dug up.

In this fast paced world searchers will often use them as they may be specific to their industry or niche.

If you’re confused about them or really want to discover what the hell they are – then try this nifty little tool to get to the bottom of them…

Search Engine Optimization Tricks

Are you currently looking all over the net for good search engine optimization or website SEO strategies? If that is so, you’re not by yourself. Search Engine Optimization is without a doubt a hot issue simply because only a few individuals understand the most effective methods available. Now we have compiled some of the best strategies that new and seasoned Online Marketers alike can benefit from.

The following tips include:

Make use of the “Yahoo Site Explorer” to determine exactly what backlinks your main  competition have. Simply by targeting exactly the same inbound links, you actually boost your probability of ranking much more highly for your preferred keywords.

Don’t jump from one website to another. Specialized research has shown that the more successful and modern your site is, the more highly it will rank. Jumping from one venture to another usually means that you will have a lot of web sites which happen to be merely “okay,” and not any which are excellent enough to rank highly for what you would like them to.

Continue to look closely at the meta tags. A number of individuals say that the meta descriptions and keywords do not matter. Whilst Search Engines might not grant these the amount of weight as they used to, there are several smaller sized engines that still do. It really is still unclear at this time if the top search engines like Google give them weight, but many industry experts have found that they can still really make a difference. All it takes is a couple of seconds of your time for each and every content page, therefore it’s worthwhile.

Quality content still rules. Although some online marketers are committing almost all of their time in search of ways to game the Search Engines and create content without having to lift a finger, smart marketers continue to be creating (or outsourcing) high quality content that will make a difference. If you think about it, sites on the internet that continually rank for very competitive keywords make use of content that searchers really want to browse. If this sounds like your main aim, that is what you should be creating also.

One of the more contentious suggestions is that duplication of content is absolutely not as huge of a deal as many people make it out to be. Google itself has said that the actual duplicate content penalty is applicable much more to websites which may have duplicate content on their own site as opposed to across totally different websites.

This means that if you would like to quote another blogger or article, or make use of something which you are free to reprint on your site, it ought not to really make a difference. It could actually add a positive experience for the reader! Pretty much all the top websites make use of shared content from the same sources (think: the Associated Press).

Put all these SEO tips to use and you ought to see great results. However this is certainly not an all all-embracing list, but yet hopefully it contains some particular things you have never discovered before.

Website SEO – The Impact of Google Instant

Posted by admin On November - 2 - 2010

Website SEO

I know that I’ve already talked a lot about keywords but it really is at the start of the whole process and I can’t tell you how important it is.
You may have noticed now that Google has rolled out a new service for it’s Google search box – it’s called “Google Instant” and as you type in your search word it types in contextually relevant words. Now this is going to have a disturbing effect, not only on the searchers behaviour but also for the person who is paying for PPC advertising.
Firstly, the searcher for a particular term may choose to take advantage of a word or phrase that Google throws up for them – it may be relevant to their requirements but may be detrimental also to what you are trying to achieve with your SEO.
For instance, my website here is SEO’d to target one main keyword “website seo” – it appears in most metadata, titles and descriptions etc and I rank in the top 20 with 103,000,000 competing pages – pretty impressive for a site that’s less than a year old. However, if you type into Google’s search box the keyword “website seo” then instead of being able to display the relevant pages, you will now be offered relevant keywords that Google think you may be looking for, ie this is what displays..

website seo analysis
website seo checker
website seo tools
website seo tips
website seo services
website seo rating
website seo evaluation
website seo software
website seo audit

None of these keywords I attempt to rank for and should the searcher decide to opt for a synonym then my website would not be displayed.
Google is attempting to alter the behaviour of the searcher and offer them a more relevant search, which I commend, however, in the future it is going to require a different approach to SEO and the selection of keywords combined with trying to second guess what the searcher is actually looking for.
Personally, I think this is going to have a tremendous impact on the way websites are SEO’d for the future.
Keep checking back, because I’m going to be writing a lot more about this subject!!

SEO Tip of the Day 8 May

Posted by admin On May - 8 - 2010

Keyword Density

Although keyword density is a parameter that you should be aware of it is not always that critical and as long as it is used sensibly and within context in the content of your site, it shouldn´t really represent too many problems.

An easy way to look at keywords on the page is, in Firefox (which should really be your default browser!!), type the word or phrase into the Google Toolbar and click the highlight option and you see that every occurrence of that phrase will appear highlighted!

It´s a quick and neat way to get a visual overview of your keywords on a page and to check that you´re not over using them.

Good luck and remember to check back for more SEO tips!!
