There is a whole lot of seo information available on the web. Some good, some obsolete and outdated. What you have to keep in mind is the information is only as good as the source you’re getting it from. From time to time, I’ll share SEO myths with you so you can enhance your blog or site. It’s really a persistent, consistent kind of practice that you have to do everyday in order to get ranking. This is a new blog, and we are at a PR2. With the next update I expect the PR to go to PR4.

Here is some seo crap you shouldn’t believe.

Backlink Myth #6

- You should wait to complete certain page building or link building tasks until Google has made a page rank update.
Many marketers foolishly play the waiting game. They put off building sister sites and supporting domains until Google has made its update to the page rank system. The only problem with this theory is that page rank happens in real time. Since Google doesn’t wait…neither should you!

People often get confused because Google makes a quarterly update of their toolbar PR reader. Every three months new PR scores show up for sites and everyone gets excited over their process. The truth is the Google update is only an update of the toolbar. The page rank of websites is continuously being updated throughout that time period. You don’t have to wait for the toolbar to be updated to get some work on your website done.

Quick tip: Proceed with your website updates and expansion plans as you would normally. Besides, if you grow another website or two while you would have been waiting you’ll be a lot further along that you would be.

The Truth About Articles Marketing

Teasastips — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 16:35:12 +0000

4 Things ALL Articles Must Have – Don’t Forget!

The importance of articles in today’s websites and internet based companies are immeasurable. They dictate a lot in the success and the drive of traffic into one’s site. It has become a key element in making a site work and earns a profit. A website operator and owner must have the good sense to include articles in his or her site that will work for them and earn them the many benefits articles can give to their site.

Articles have been known to be the driving force in driving traffic to a website. Articles are a factor in giving site high rankings in search result pages. The higher a site ranks the bigger slice of the traffic flow pie he gets. With a huge number in traffic flow, there are more profits and more potential for other income generating schemes as well.

Don't forget this stuff or you'll be sad!

But, it is not just about stuffing your site with articles; they have certain requirements as well. These requirements must be met to obtain the maximum benefits an article will provide for your site. A well written article will catch the eyes and interest of your customers and keep them coming back for more. They would also be able to recommend your site to others.

Here are some tips to help you and assist you in making your articles. Below you will read about four things all articles must have to make it successful and helpful in making your site a profit earning and traffic overflowing site.

• Keywords and Keyword Phrases.

An article must always be centered on the keywords and keyword phrases. As each website visitor goes to a site, there are those who are just merely browsing but actually looking for a specific something. When this happens, a searcher usually goes to a search engine and types in the keywords they are looking for (e.g. Toyota Camry, Meningitis, Tax Lawyer and Etcetera). It could be anything they want.

The Important thing is that you have an article that has the keywords that are related to your site. For example, if you maintain an auto parts site, you must be able t have articles about cars and their parts. There are many tools in the internet that provides service in helping a webmaster out in determining what keywords and keyword phrases are mostly sought out. You can use this tool to determine what keywords to use and write about.

• Keyword Density

Know that you have your keywords and keyword phrases, you must use them fully. An article must have good keyword density for a search engine to “feel” its presence. Articles should at least have ten to fifteen percent of keyword density in their content for search engines to rank a site high in their search results. Getting a high rank is what articles do best for a site.

Keyword density is the number of times a keyword or keyword phrase is used on an article. The number varies depending on the number of words used in an article. An effective article must have a keyword density that is not too high or too low. With a very high density, the essence of the article is lost and may turn off a reader as well as the search engines. It comes off as overeager. A low number may be ignored by the search engines.

• Good Article Content

Like what is stated above, you cannot just riddle an article with keywords. They must also be regarded as good reading materials. Articles must be able to entertain people as well as provide good information and help for their needs. Articles should be written well with correct spelling and good grammar. If you want people to trust you, make your work good and well thought out.

People respond well to figures, facts and statistics. Try to get great information and as many facts as you can. A good and well written article will boost your reputation as an expert in your chosen field or topic. As more people believe in you. They will be able to trust you and your products.

• Linking Articles

And another important thing to remember. If you are going to submit articles to ezines and/or contribute your articles to newsletters and other sites, DON’T ever forget to include a link to your site. A little resource box with a brief description of your site and you should always be placed right after your articles that you have submitted. If people like your articles, they will most likely click on the link directing them to your site.

BETTER BACKLINKS WITH ARTICLE MARKETING?

Teasastips — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 19:50:38 +0000

Now that you know the basics in the world of building backlinks, it’s time to start building traffic and link juice. As previously mentioned, there are many ways to build quality backlinks to your site. These methods cost nothing but time, or maybe some outsourcing costs if you choose to go that route.

Get some Link Juice. Use backlinks responsibly!

Keep in mind that backlink-building is a slow and steady process. If you build too many backlinks too quickly, you may be seen as a spammer in the eyes of Google. This is especially true if you have a brand new site. A large explosion in backlinks spells “black hat seo” to the Google spiders. It’s best to develop a strategy from these methods and build your backlinks up over time. We’ll go in depth on each of these methods in this report so you can put this advice to work for you immediately.

This is by far one of the most effective ways of increasing your backlinks and improving your site’s ranking. In a nutshell, article marketing is accomplished by writing a series of short articles and then distributing them to article directories. Each one of these articles has a relevant back link with anchor text that you choose. To use article marketing to your advantage you simply come up with a list of keywords that you would like to target. Write, or have written, articles that use each of these keywords in the title and several times throughout the body of the article.

After the articles have been written, submit them to several different article directories. You should choose 3-4 quality directories that have a good page rank. Remember that these article directories will be sending link juice your way, so you shouldn’t just post to any directory you find.

A LITTLE SELF PROMOTION NEVER HURT ANYBODY!

The second benefit to submitting to article directories is that your article can get picked up and distributed on other blogs and websites with your backlink intact. For this reason, it’s absolutely necessary that you create quality articles that are genuinely helpful to your niche. If you’re not sure what to write about, try reading several articles in your niche to get topic ideas.

When you first start out, you should write and submit at least 10 articles using relevant keywords to your website. In the bio box of each article, be sure to use a link back to your site with the relevant anchor text. Submit pan and manage least an article per week in order to continue building backlinks. This is an ongoing strategy that will build lots of backlinks over time.

Traffic is the lifeblood of any website. Whatever your website is or does, without traffic it will not work.

Traffic exchanges (TEs) were created with the lofty goal of allowing the users to gain a steady stream of traffic to their website without the cost of PPC and without the difficulties of SEO.

How do you get traffic to your website?

In this series of reports we’re going to consider how to get the most out of TEs and, you’ll be pleased to know, it’s a lot easier than you might think. Before we begin, it must be understood that the traffic that TEs generate is relatively

targeted. This isn’t to say that the traffic isn’t valuable, it’s just important to realize that TEs are not a silver bullet.

For maximum effect, TE use should be approached in a very specific way and should only be used as part of a wide spread of different traffic generating techniques. OK. Now the disclaimer is out of the way, let’s begin by considering exactly what a traffic exchange is and how to get started.

Dueling Pianos or Double Traffic?

What Is A Traffic Exchange?

The philosophy of a traffic exchange is simple: You visit someone else’s website and, in exchange, someone else visits your website. The traffic exchange provides a simple control panel for performing this function while, at the same time, ensuring that users don’t cheat. Virtually every traffic exchange (and there are many), have their own unique twists and themes, but the basic principle is absolutely the same. The majority of traffic exchanges are free to join (there are some exceptions, but we’ll discuss that later on) and, once you’ve opened an account with one, it takes just a few moments to get started.

To get the most out of this report, I recommend joining these exchanges so you can follow along with the steps.

Building backlinks is one of the most important things you can do for your website. For the uninitiated, backlinks are links from other websites that are pointing back to your site. They are also known as incoming links and inbound links. As an internet marketer, backlinks are vitally important to your success.

Backlinks help your website move up in importance on search engine pages. With a large quantity of backlinks, your website will move up in the rankings for your selected keywords. The more backlinks you have to your site, the better. However, not all backlinks are created equally! As you learn in this report, you need to have the right type of backlinks in order to move up in the rankings.

When websites first started linking to each other, backlinks were used by webmasters to suggest other websites that he or she enjoyed and wanted to pass on to the visitors. This still happens quite a bit but these days backlinks are an important part of a webmaster’s Internet marketing strategy.

Search engines like Google use the number of backlinks a website has in order to determine its relevance. If your site has 10 other sites pointing to it with a link and the keyword phrase “make money online,” the search engines spiders will be able to determine that your site has to do with making money online.

If you have a hundred sites pointing to your site and using the keyword phrase “make money online”, that is even better! The sites that are linking back to your site have to meet certain standards in order to be counted as “votes” for your site and that keyword phrase. In this report, you will learn the most effective linking strategies in order to quickly and efficiently move your site up in the rankings.

Although there are several different search engines, for the purpose of simplicity we will be talking about how to increase your rankings in Google. Google is by far the most popular search engine and if you can rank well there you can be sure that your sites are ranking well in other search engines like Yahoo and MSN.

Google also gives you the added benefit of the page ranking system. Google has a way of evaluating each website and giving it a page rank of anywhere from 1 to 10. The higher the page rank, the more important a website is in the eyes of Google.

This is important when you are building backlinks. When a high page rank website links to your site, Google will begin to see your site as more important as well. In the Internet marketing world, this is known as passing along “link juice.” You will get more link juice from having a PR 5 website link to you than having a PR 1 website link to you.

Links come in different varieties – one way links and reciprocal links. One-way links are links from another website to you with no link going the other way. Reciprocal links occur when both you and the other website are linked to one another, kind of like in a “scratch my back I’ll scratch your” type situation.

Google will also look for the relevancy of the websites that are linking to your site. This is called “link relevancy” and it is an important thing to remember when you are looking for backlinks. For example, if you have parenting, home repair and relationship advice blogs pointing to your make money online blog, these links won’t be seen as valuable as other make money online blogs pointing to you.
However, the most important thing to do is get backlinks. If it comes down between having irrelevant links and no links at all, always go with the irrelevant links.

Another important concept is no follow. It used to be that all links coming back to your website were treated equally. These days however some websites, blogs and forums use no follow HTML tags to avoid giving popularity to links.

Basically, nofollow tags tell search engine spiders that the link that will appear next is not relevant or important. Many sites, blogs and forums participate in what is being called the “do follow” movement. You’ll see how these sites come into play a little later in this report.

Another important concept is anchor text. If you’re familiar with HTML, you know that anchor text is the text it is used in place of a URL. This text will appear in blue and have an underline. When a visitor clicks on that word or phrase their web browser will take them to that website.

The HTML code for building anchor text looks like this:

Your Anchor text
For forums, you can usually use the following code:
[URL=http://www.yoursitehere.com]Your Anchor text[/URL]

When you choose anchor text for linking to your website you should do some keyword research to find out which turns you should be targeting. By using these keywords as your anchor text, you’ll increase in the rankings for those keywords.Another important concept is no follow.

Let’s face it – there are a lot of websites out there from people to choose from! No matter what topic you choose, there are bound to be tons of other sites on the same topic. Your goal should be to make your blog stand out and get people coming back for more.

When you create your blog and your posts, you have two specific groups of people you need to be targeting – new visitors and old visitors. New visitors need to be able to instantly tell what your blog is about.

This means that you need to have a tagline at the top of your blog that explains your focus. This statement, displayed under the title of your blog, will give your new visitors an instant snapshot of what you’re about. Make the sign up box for your RSS feed prominent and you’ll get new subscribers.

There are loads of ways to get traffic to your blog but I want to concentrate on some of the easy, free methods you can put into practice and get the first trickle of visitors to your blog
TODAY. These methods can then be scaled up to turn that trickle into an uncontrollable FLOOD!

Commenting on Other Blogs
As well as using other blogs for new blog post ideas you are also going to snatch some of their traffic! You can do this by leaving an informative comment, along with a link to your own blog underneath their latest blog post. Moronic, one sentence comments which simply read “I agree” or “Great post, I will be sure to come back often” will not fool anybody and are likely to get deleted. The focus is on quality here.

If you can spend around 10-15 minutes per day crafting a good comment for two or three posts on different blogs then those readers will see you are knowledgeable in that particular niche and will visit your blog to see what you have to offer them.

The key is reciprocate, reciprocate! If you don’t leave comments on other blogs, how do you expect to get comments on yours? Leave your thoughts below.
