Improve Search Engine Ranking
04/27/2010
Do you want to increase search engine ranking to boost your traffic and sales?
SEO isn’t as complicated as many people think. What I’ve discovered is that when you know the insider secrets, you can literally dominate any keywords and boost search engine rankings of any websites that you have.
How do I know? Simple: Using the exact secrets you’re about to learn here, I’ve easily dominated Google and achieved high search engine rankings for the super-competitive “article submission” keyword with my website at ArticleSubmitAuto.com.
Here are the 4 proven secrets to increase search engine ranking for your keywords:
Secret 1: Write and Publish Articles
Write a high quality article related to the subject of your website and submit it to the top 30 article directories and other ezine publishers.
Remember to include your website link in the resource box of your articles so that when your articles are published, they will provide high quality backlinks to your websites.
Why are backlinks important?
You see, major search engines like Google determines the ranking of your web page largely through the quality and quantity of internet sites that link to yours. Generally, the higher the authority levels of the incoming links, the higher the link popularity of your website, the greater your search rankings.
So by having authoritative article directories like EzineArticles linking back to your websites, it will definitely help give your website the extra boost in rankings and traffic.
Secret 2: Use the Same Keyword for All Your Backlinks
Forget about what other people say about “link diversity” – that is, creating backlinks to your websites using different keywords to make it look more natural to the search engines.
Through expensive trial and error, I realized that it doesn’t matter. In fact, I’ve discovered that by concentrating all your efforts in building backlinks with the same keyword, you’ll get faster and better results.
Secret 3: Use The Same URL for All Your Backlinks
Look at these URLs:
http://www.yourdomain.com
http://yourdomain.com
Strangely, even though the above URLs all lead to the same page, search engine treat them as different pages. So decide if you want to use “www” during backlinking and stick to it.
Secret 4: Spy On Your Competitors
Do a search on your targeted keyword in Google to find out which are the web sites that are ranking the highest. What you need to do is to find out which websites are linking to them, and try to get the exact same websites to link to you.
Reverse engineering the high search engine rankings of these websites is the best method to boost search engine rankings for your own sites.
You can find out who is linking to them by using backlinkwatch.com. This will return the number of internet sites that are providing backlinks to your competitors. By visiting each of them, you may be able to pick up a good number of quality internet sites that you can also approach and get them to link to you.

Alternatively, you can have someone to find and build these high authority backlinks to your website right away and improve search engine ranking |

Google News for Internet Advertising Jan 17 2010
Looking for ideas for content to put your Internet Advertising blog?
Content is king, you want your main website to perform in Google, you get extra blogs to “support ” your main site (link to it), that’s not enough by itself though, you’ve got to have relevant content on those extra (supporting blogs)
So that means you need to write fresh content for your main site/blog and get, somehow, by hook or crook content to put on those supporting blogs to… fret not, I’ll show you how.
Second Tier Blogs
Repurpose already published articles ON YOUR TOPIC, all you have to do is open with a couple paragraphs, and close with a standard “call to action” sort of like a footer at the bottom of each post. Add your contact info there and of course link back to your main website.
Does re-purposing articles work to boost your main site’s ranking?

Google Pulled Googlemaps for SEO Businesses
12/05/2009
Update 12/26/2009 (with Egg on my Face) Google’s Personalized Search has consequences if you check your own rankings too often. Rather than remove this (mistaken) post I’ll leave it up here as a lesson to those who insist on checking and rechecking their ranking in Google.
Google doesn’t show everyone the same thing. Google’s personalized search will display to you in response to your search query, what it thinks you want… and part of that is based on the aggregate of your last 180 days of searching. Meaning if you check a given keyword/ keyword phrase too often, and you click on your website (or your competitors link) Google will assume you obviously like that site and it will show that site higher in the serps.

Below is my mistaken conclusion, a post that 3 weeks later I discovered I was wrong
====
Google Local Business Listings which is Googlemaps underneath is apparently removing SEO companies from the search results.
I don’t yet know if this is a nationwide change in the Googlemaps algorithim, Google is said to roll out changes incrementally in some markets (some data centers) to test in order to determine if they want to keep a change or drop it.
SEO companies have been learning how to improve the ranking of Googlemaps listings, and Google has been penalizing SEO firms for keyword stuffing and other methods of improving the ranking in the local business listings.
If you search in Maryland for the keyword phrases:
Now I’m searching from a Frederick Maryland IP address so as of this post I’m not sure if the Google results returned from a searcher searching from another state outside of Maryland. Google is known to display slightly different results to searchers searching in a given geographical area as opposed to searchers searching from elsewhere.

Yellowpages – History?
Phonebooks: A serious case of pulp friction
by Tania Deluzuriaga, New York Times News Service
They’re the original search engines, leftover from the days of rotary
phones and answering machines. Once valued reference books kept in a
certain drawer or cabinet for easy and frequent access, the massive
telephone directories landing on doorsteps and in apartment foyers
across the city in recent weeks seemed bound for more ignoble destinations.
Days after hundreds of thousands of the 2,000-page, 4-pound tomes were
delivered, they began showing up in recycling bins and trash dumpsters.
From Beacon Hill to Jamaica Plain, they moldered on porches and driveways,
lay strewn across sidewalks, and sat in large, untouched piles in condo and
apartment buildings.
In an era when consumers are increasingly conscious of the waste they
generate, arrival of the phone books was greeted with an annoyed sigh or
worse.
“All that’s waste,” grumbled Gerri Cummings, 70, eyeing the waist-high
pile of phone books orphaned in the foyer of her South Boston apartment
building.
Yellow Book delivered stacks of its yellow pages directories, enough for each
of the residents of Cummings’ 96-unit building for the elderly and disabled.
A few days later, Verizon did the same.
“All my phone numbers are in my phone,” Cummings said, waving a silver
cellphone that she keeps in her pocket.
A few blocks away, 33-year-old Jason Muth vented his disgust in his blog.
“Each time I’m greeted by piles of bound paper at my doorstep, I think the
same exact thing: what a waste,” he wrote. “The energy to distribute and
manufacture these, the raw materials used to print these, and our time to
dispose of them properly.”
When Verizon delivered its directories a couple days later, Muth’s disgust
turned to anger. Of the 10 directories delivered to his address this month,
not one made it inside, he said.
“What industry is indiscriminately allowed to throw their product on your
front step and leave you to deal with it?” he fumed in a phone interview.
“It’s environmentally wrong; it’s morally wrong.”
Representatives from Verizon and Yellow Book declined to speak to a
reporter about their products or distribution practices. In a written
statement, a Verizon spokesman said the company has regionalized its
directory and made it smaller and more user-friendly. Yellow Book, which
distributed 883,000 copies of its directory in the Boston area last year,
said that 87 percent of adults use a print phone directory at least once
a year.
“We get complaints from people when they don’t get their phone book,”
said Stephanie Hobbs, a spokeswoman for the Yellow Pages Association,
the industry’s trade organization.
For those who don’t want it, there is little recourse. Unlike services that let
consumers sign up for no-call lists to stop cold-calling advertisers, it’s not so
easy to avoid getting the phone book. Some directory companies have phone
numbers that residents can call to stop phone book deliveries to their homes,
but the numbers can be hard to locate. And governments say they are
constrained in imposing blanket restrictions.
“It’s a First Amendment issue,” said Sharon Gillett, commissioner of the state
Department of Telecommunications and Cable. “How are they different from
free newspapers or political fliers?”
Despite competition from the Internet, the phone directory market continues
to slowly grow, with a value this year of about billion, according to the
Yellow Pages Association.
While services like Google and 411 are providing heightened competition, people
still turn to their yellow pages when they are ready to buy, Hobbs said, citing a
third-party study that found American adults consulted phone books 13.4 billion
times last year.
But even some advertisers in the books say they’re questioning the practice.
“I keep contemplating whether I should give it up; it costs me a fortune,” said
Scott Ruth, a Marlborough plumber who ran an ad for his business in the Boston
Yellow Book.
Though business has been good, Ruth said, he has all the work he can handle,
and he is not sure that spending “several thousand dollars” a year on
advertising in the phone book is worth it.
“I haven’t picked one up in I don’t know how long,” he said.

Yellowbook poor advertising ROI claim
08/09/2009
I didn’t write this post, I haven’t had the experience this small business owner had because I’ve not paid Yellowbook the $250 a month he says he paid but I thought his retelling of his story was noteworthy so I’m republishing a snippet of his post here:
There are all kinds of different ways to advertise your business and keep the name out there without spending a fortune, there are also plenty of advertising area’s that seem inexpensive and for good reason, lack of results.
In a little over a years time I have written about numerous forms of advertising on my site, in addition to the many local area business’s that I review as well. Advertising is by far my favorite thing to do, I love starting ad campaigns from the ground up, and figuring the potential cost and profit of doing such ad campaigns. My palms sweat just thinking about putting a special on a Clear Channel Billboard from Mikey B, no really they do.
Anyway, before this post gets way out of hand the main reason for this article is to take a moment and review the experiences I have had with YellowBook.com and our advertising with them over the last few months.
When we first opened Extreme Tan and Smoothies we had a paid advertisement in the actual Yellow Book that was delivered to all of the local homes in the area, this was about five years ago and let’s just say that ad campaign was hardly worth it. A few months ago while we were in the height of our season and aggressively advertising we had a YellowBook.com representative come into the office pushing advertising in the online version of Yellow Book.com
My initial answer was of course absolutely not, especially after my first experience with them and how they have continued billing that is a major pain in the ass to get them to stop. After talking with the representative he assured me that the deal we signed would allow us to break out of it and cancel at any time, this sparked my interest because I rarely ever sign contracts.
We decided to buy the top spot on all searches in the specific counties that we wanted the ad to appear when people plugged in a search on Yellow Book.com, I figured it would have to return some excellent results with a placement like that. Our spots continued to run through out the entire tanning season as well as the entire limousine season, we have yet to have any customer mention those ad spots for either business.
Now I will say that one of the hardest things to track when it comes to advertising is advertising placed in the Yellow Pages or any place that doesn’t offer some sort of redemption, like a coupon to make tracking easier. The spots ran for enough time that had the advertisement made that much of an impact we would have heard about it, this ad campaign was very much like the ad campaign we ran five years ago.
In addition to the poor return on investment from advertising with Yellow Book and Yellow Book.com over the years…
