Search Engine Optimization



Any business owner who has been participating in the Internet marketing arena to bolster their cash flow knows how dicey search engine optimization can be. All too often, overly zealous SEO optimizers make tall claims by convincing you that they have found the “magic pill” to get your business ranked and positioned at the top of major search engines like Google. I can assure you; search engine optimization is difficult at best. If you don’t know what you’re doing (like most business owners who are focus on their primary business sector), you’re going to throw a lot of money at some very empty promises; rendering for you and your business dismal results.

All that stated, I must say that there are SEO companies (or companies performing SEO services as an added-value proposition) that do what they do very well; but, who and where are they; and what is “well?”

Since entering the e-landscape myself (back in 1996), I have witnessed and experienced many “black-eyes” when it came to learning and applying effective (proven) search engine positioning results. Recent, I discovered a Los Angeles firm that has all but mastered the art of search positioning with a very high degree of honest success. They have become so good at search engine control they actually have put their money where their month is by providing their search engine expertise attached to a 100% guarantee. In today’s nasty economical climate, we as business owners need a significant value-added edge to get the best results for our marketing investments.

As I began to test and verify their claims and ultimate process, I was able to clearly note the responsiveness of their “top search engine listing” claims. Due to the “deepness” (as well as inbound and outbound linkage) of their web site platform, teamed with their methodically researched keyword identification practices and procedures. I have even gone so far as to develop a personal and business relationship with the company’s founder, Jordan Wexler. His “SmartGuy” online referral business network system has undeniably risen to the occasion when it comes to their claim of guaranteeing top search engine listing position in record time for virtually any local business. As an additional added-value benefit, SmartGuy provides their platform (that is actually free) to any local business. I mean, a guaranteed top major search engine position is less than 30 days, come on! That my dear friend is a real value for any local business

If you believe in social networking platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter (like I do and when done right), I would encourage you to take full advantage of Jordon’s no-cost, local business referral networking system opportunity.

Tips for Effective Search Engine Optimization



Search engines index almost all websites on the World Wide Web, and run a search on them to throw you the most relevant results for your query phrase or word. These search results appear in a certain order of relevance and importance, which is the key concern of Search Engine Optimization or SEO. Owing to popularity of use of these search tools, websites have to get good rankings of their webpages for relevant keywords to get a large chunk of their traffic. On some websites, as much as 80-90% of the traffic is driven by the engines. This is how important it is to optimize your website to search engine algorithms.

The most popular engines on the internet include Google (which accounts for more than half of the searches on the internet), Yahoo and Bing. Each uses a distinct method or algorithm of ranking the webpages for the results. So, the same webpage may have different ranks in different engines for a keyword. It is important to know which search engine you are optimizing the website for and then follow a well laid out strategy to optimize for it. Most SEO efforts are generally targeted towards Google.

Here some onsite and offsite SEO tips on how you can improve the relevance of your site to targeted keywords:

Keyword and Key Phrases

Keywords are what you search for on the engines, and what the search engine searches for in the content/meta tags of a webpage. When the engine finds a match, it ranks the webpages based on the closeness of match and importance of the website, as perceived by the engine algorithm. Target a set of keywords/keyphrases that you believe are most relevant to the content of your website and are searched for frequently. After identifying them, make sure that the content of the webpage includes these around 3-4 times in the text. Overuse of keywords can have a negative effect, as the readability of page goes down and even search engines consider such pages ‘spammy’ in nature.

Meta-Tags and Page Title

There are two main meta tags of a webpage – the keywords and page description. Make sure both these contain targeted relevant keywords to the content of your webpage. The page title is also a critical element for onsite optimization – make sure that the title also has the target keywords in it without making it look too ‘spammy’.

Back Linking Website on Online Forums and Social Media Websites

To make your website appear important to the search engine, you need to have lots of back links from other websites on the internet. These can be achieved either naturally, that is netizens create them themselves or as a strategy, where you promote your website by linking it on other websites. This is an important part of offsite search engine optimization. Discussion forums and social media websites are two such channels where you can build back links to your website and also get some referral traffic through these links. However, the real benefit is of the search engines recognizing these links and perceiving them as an evidence of your popularity and authority on the internet. You can also build back links to your website by submitting articles on article directories and including links in the byline credit.
