SEO By James Van Elswyk

SEO: Stop Excessive Optimisation! In terms of ideal keyword density for a given page, there is no given formula. However, this is not to say that keywords should be incessantly repeated throughout a piece of content. Parroting keywords is a sure-fire way to deter readers, who can only deal with so many hyperlinks in one sentence.

 

Ideally, keywords should be included in the headline of a piece of content (or in sub headings, since these can also get picked up by search engines) and once within the content.

 

Bear in mind, however, that awkwardly framing your headlines around a keyword or phrase won’t do you any favours: it’s far better to write a cracking headline that makes sense rather than forcing in a keyword where it doesn’t belong.

Keywords > quality

 

There’s no denying keywords are a crucial element of your SEO campaign, but they should be on an equal footing with quality. In all the recent updates to Google’s algorithm, the search giant has ensured that quantity is inferior to quality, so it is crucial to create and distribute valuable content.

 

Put enough of a focus on the content itself, by ensuring it is top quality and relevant to your audience, and you’re on the right track to getting SEO-savvy. Good content paired with other SEO ranking signals, such as quantity and quality of backlinks pointing to it, will help improve its placement within natural search results.

Good SEO involves outsmarting search engines

 

Google is pretty clever: it knows what it’s doing and certainly won’t be happy if you contest its intelligence by trying to outfox it.

 

As an example, lifting trending content from other sites, editing it badly and stuffing in keywords may boost your readership for a while – but this is definitely not paving a path to good, lasting SEO. You may be penalised by Google or have your SEO strategies devalued, both of which will lead to a drop in search rankings.

 

On the contrary, good SEO is about building an informative website with unique and relevant content and encouraging the sharing and distribution of this content to drive organic publicity and links back to your site.

Posted on by
Reply

Here is a plugin for wordpress called SEO Friendly Images

SEO Friendly Images is a WordPress SEO plugin which automatically updates all images with proper ALT and TITLE attributes for SEO purposes. If your images do not have ALT and TITLE already set, SEO Friendly Images will add them according the options you set. Additionally this makes the post W3C/xHTML valid as well.

ALT attribute is important part of search engine optimization. It describes your images to search engine and when a user searches for a certain image this is a key determining factor for a match.

TITLE attribute play lesser role but is important for visitors as this text will automatically appear in the tooltip when mouse is over the image.

What is PageRank PR1 PR2 PR3?

Posted on by
Reply

To start I want to say PageRank is not the answer to SEO or to ranking high for a search term or keyword.

Don’t be obsessed with PageRank. It is just one isty bitsy part of the ranking algorithm. A site with lower PR can actually outrank one with a higher PR.

PageRank is what Google uses to determine the importance of a web page. It’s one of many factors used to determine which pages appear in search results.

PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page’s value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at considerably more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; for example, it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves “important” weigh more heavily and help to make other pages “important.” Using these and other factors, Google provides its views on pages’ relative importance.

PageRank can be PR0 to PR10 – Currently there are only a few sites that have a PageRank Of 10 and about 150 with PageRank Of 9. View our list of PR10 Websites (And PR9)

List Of PageRank 10 – PR10 and PR9 Websites 2013

Posted on by
Reply

Here is the most updated list of PR10 Websites and PR9 websites I could find online. This list is to show you how hard it is to reach the PR9-10 level.

PageRank 10

Currently 12 domains Have PR10 

  • Google.com – Google, the most popular Internet search engine, and the one that assigns this PageRank we’re rambling on about.
  • W3.org – World Wide Web Consortium, the organization behind most web specifications like HTML, CSS and so on.
  • USA.gov – The U.S. Government’s official web portal.
  • Adobe.com – The main domain is no longer PR10, but these two pages are:
  • India.gov.in – Government of India
  • HHS.gov – United States Department of Health and Human Services
  • Recovery.gov – U.S Government recovery board
  • TheEuropeanLibrary.org – The European Library – searches the content of European national libraries.
  • Europeana.eu – Europeana – “The cultural collections of Europe”.
  • CNN.com – Cable News Network, American television news channel
  • Miibeian.gov.cn – Ministry of Information Industry Records in China
  • AddThis.com – AddThis bookmarking/sharing service – this page is linked to by every page using the system (as StatCounter.com used to be), hence the PR10.

PageRank 9

Currently 148 domains

Top Heavy 2 – Too Many Ads On Your Site Equals Bad SEO

Posted on by
Reply

Be cautious about placing too many ads on your web pages, especially if these ads are located above the fold (The Top Half Of Your Web Page). Namely, the latest update called Top Heavy 2 has brought a significant change in Google’s search algorithm, as web pages with too many “above-the-fold” ads will be seen as lower-quality and may take a dive in ranking

too-manyads.

Google released 2 updates in 2012 called Top Heavy and this update looks for sites that bury content under to many ads including adsense ads. This is not saying you can’t have any ds on your web pages, it is ok to have ad son your site, you just have to watch the placement of your ads and frequency of ad placement. If you have been an online marketer for the past few years you may remember or know of the term MFA Sites which means “made for adsese”. These sites are basically loaded with ads and content specifically to generate traffic to generate adsense revenue. These type of sites are not worth using anymore, it is time to redesign and rethink your page layouts.

Local SEO Sales Tips and Ideas 2013

Posted on by
Reply

If you are in the Seo business then you are fully aware of how hard it is to obtain new clients in your local market. Finding new clients in your area can prove difficult for many reasons. Many local businesses in non metro areas (Larger Cities) do not feel it is necessary to promote their website on search engines like “big businesses” do. What these small businesses in your local market do not realize is that they are losing massive amounts of sales and new clients. Local searches make up for a HUGE percentage of search engine usage.

Even if you are thinking to yourself “I get plenty of a local SEO clients”, keep reading because like any business you can always use more business.

When I first started offering SEO services in 2001 I found it easy to get nationwide clients but it was hard to get local businesses to jump on board with me even if I offered them an extremely low rate and payment plan. I was frustrated and felt like a failure because I could not convince local businesses to jump on the SEO wagon with me. I was amazed that these local businesses did not have faith in the internet and search engine marketing. It seems as if they were just satisfied with they’re local phone book advertisements… TV ads… Radio ads and word of mouth advertising. I was certain that they were over spending on advertising and the internet would save them thousands of dollars while bringing them more customers than ever.

So here is what I did, instead of advertising and promoting my service directly like I had always been doing I decided to make the local businesses knock my door down begging me for my service. I did this by creating what I call an instant gratification package.

What I did was research which local businesses and what business types would profit most by having high rankings on Google and other search engines. I researched which key words would drive traffic to the website and more business to their front doors. Then I took the initiative and I made the investment for these businesses myself. I started registering keyword rich local domain names an example of a keyword rich local domain name is Houstonbarbershops.com… I would create a keyword rich domain name for dozens of industries and populate these domains with content that was keyword optimized and informative. The only twist is I did not feature any businesses on the domain names. Eventually I started getting emails and phone calls from businesses simply wanting to buy the domain. When they contacted me I explained how search engine optimization and keyword rich domain names were the ticket to reaching the top of search engines for localized keywords.

I basically saturated the first page of Google for poplar keywords and tried to cater to more upscale businesses and professionals. After about 6 months of work I generated 3 years of steady local business. The possibilities are endless when you use this tactic. And even if a business does not want to purchase the domain name and have you do on going work for them, you can simply charge them to advertise on the domain name and website or even lease the website for a monthly fee.

By building a small blog or micro website and getting it to rank high on Google for a powerful local keyword, you are showing local businesses that your service works and you can get them to the top of search results, as a matter of fact they are already there and all they have to do is sign-up with you to instantly benefit from the high ranking site.

How To Remove A RipOff Report Yourself Free

Posted on by
Reply

Ripoff Report Removal is a mounting subject in the online reputation management business. There is little a company or individual can do to protect themselves against a Rip off Report being filed. In fact, anyone can file a Ripoff Report against anyone and reduce to rubble their online reputation with a a small number of clicks of a mouse and a few strokes of a keyboard. It is also common that companies will file false Ripoff Reports about their competitors. A high percentage of Rip off Reports are usually unfounded claims about a company from an unmanageable customer. Many businesses are uninformed to the fact that they are losing business until they get a phone call or email from a customer or colleague alerting them that they found the company’s Rip off Report complaint link ranking on the first page of Google. The RipOff Report business model is flawed and unfair in most people’s eyes.

 

Why RipOff Report Can Be So Harmful

 

Google views ripoffreport.com as an ‘authority website’ and gives them a priority listing on top of just about any other contending website. This means that if a Ripoff Report is submitted in opposition to your company name, in most cases the ripoffreport.com page will be directly below your company’s website in the search engine results when someone enters in your company’s name as a search term. Most business owners don’t realize that over 75% of customers looking to purchase big ticket items (over $100) will search for a company or business owner’s name in Google. Most people will search the name after they are provided with a quote from the company they’re contemplating doing business with. This means that you can wear out your resources selling a client and spend the time customizing a proposal for them with no shot at actually making the sale. When someone sees the word Rip Off right next to your business name in Google there is an extremely low chance that person will be inclined to give you money.

 

How do you Remove Ripoff Reports?

 

Answer: You can’t. That’s correct; there is no way to actually remove, as in delete a Ripoff Report once it is submitted and gone live on the website. Ripoffreport.com has a doctrinaire policy to not ever delete ripoff reports from their website once they are filed.

 

Don’t worry yet! It is not the end of the world, there is a solution. What if that Ripoff Report was hidden all the way back to page 5-10 of Google? Do you think anyone would even know it was there? The fact is, most people don’t even go to past page two of the search engines to look for information about a company. In fact, even the most skeptical consumers won’t get anywhere near page five of Google.

There are many options available to you in regards to burying a rip off report on your own without the assistance of a reputation management company. If you do not have the time or patience or the technical know-how to create dozens of social profiles and your own domain name along with some search engine optimization tactics , then hiring a reputation management company might be the right choice for you.

If you think you have what it takes to bury a rip off Report without assistance here are a few tips to get you started.

To start your need to make sure you have registered yournamehere.com and also see what other TLDs are available such as .net .org and other variations of your name like your hyphen name.com. You can register your own name at web sites like Go Daddy.com or moniker.com. You will need to host your website for a web hosting solutions we would recommend using a low cost hosting service. One of the most reliable hosting services we would recommend is Host Gator.com.

As for what content to put on your website or how to design a website we strongly recommend using WordPress. WordPress is a simple and free blogging platform that can easily be installed on a website yourself or for a few dollars from a local web designer .

After you create your own domain names you will need to create social profiles for a large list of social profile sites we recommend see: List Of Social Sites.

When creating social profiles it is important to use the target name that you are trying to repair. If your company has complaints , then use your company name as the user name or name for the social profile. Make sure to link or add your new website to the social profiles so people and search engines can find it easily.

If your business is the victim of a ripoff report complaint or you use your name as a business then you might wan to venture in to the press release distribution realm. Press releases are great for promoting your name or business in a positive way. When building a press release you simply need to share something with the public that seems press worthy. Example: Your business could do a press release on how it has “Gone Green” in an effort to lesson it’s carbon footprints and talk about how you have converted over to energy saving equipment, light bulbs, less water consumption, and less staples. Your press release does not have to be a fortune 500 Company style release, just something that looks like a press release and does not look like an advertisement or article all about your products or service.

Here is a list of Press Release Sites that you can use. Some of these sites are free and some ask for a contribution. I recommend using them all and also trying to submit multiple variations of your press release to these sites. Change the title of them for each site so they are not 100% duplicates.

Well that sums it up for this article on how to remove ripoff reports on your own and remember the term “Remove” refers to removing the ripoff report link from the first few pages of search results so it is less visible, there is no way to have a ripoff repot deleted completely not een with the best attorneys backing you. If you find  yourself in a bind and need a Reputation Management Company to help you there are many online services that are available.
