There are a number of social media sites on the web today that can be leveraged for great results if you bring in the correct social media manager. You will be able to find both general social media sites as well as niche specific social media marketing sites. Some of the top social media sites include Twitter, Digg, Delicious, Flickr, Mixx, Stumbleupon, Technorati and hundreds of other similar sites. Even Facebook is a serious force if used correctly – don't be fooled otherwise. There are many great benefits to be reaped using social media sites. Primarily, you will be able to make your brand visible to the online community. Shaping brand image is pivotal. If you are launching a new business or taking your existing business online, people will not know your brand online. Social media allows you to do that. You need to make sure that your brand is visible to the internet community. If you fail to do that, you are spinning your wheels. Done correctly, there is a tremendous traffic advantage when you promote your website in the best social media websites. It is not instantaneous in most cases, but it builds until it hits critical mass. Social media websites are flooded with traffic. By promoting your website in the top social media websites, you will be able to drive loads of organic traffic to your website. Moreover, the posts you make in websites like Digg can also feature in the search results and this too can send traffic to your website. Another thing that is often overlooked is that these sites are frequented by people that love to share and spreading your links around is a good thing! Search engines love social media sites. They frequent these sites to see what is fresh. When you post your website's links here, your website will be indexed fast. If you have a brand new website, which you would like to be indexed fast, then you just need to promote your website in as many social media websites as possible. In this case, a saturation plan can be effective. New content appearing on your website, can be promoted by your SMM. By doing this, you will have the updated information featured in the search results. This is one of the best ways of getting your latest offers and promotions across to your target audience. The more you have to offer and the more places you have to offer, the bigger your potential audience is. Social media marketing is link popularity. You will be able to generate a lot of back links for your website through social media marketing if you have content that people like. However, it is important here to choose your social media websites with care because not all social media sites use do follow attribute which you absolutely want to have. To prevent online link spam, many social media sites use no follow attribute because it works. It isn't popular with everyone, but it is effective at cutting spam. When you submit your website to no follow social media sites, you will not be able to get back links. The upside which keeps them relevant however is that you will be able to enjoy the other benefits such as online visibility. As you can see, there are numerous benefits associated with social media marketing and you should not ignore these benefits. The key is not just getting started, but getting the right SMM to run your campaign. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right! |

If you cannot keep people on your site, you have very little chance to convert your visitors to buyers. In addition to that, you must also know that search engines also keep track of the amount of time visitors spend on a web page. This does matter in more ways than one. This information helps them assess the importance of a particular web page against a specific keyword. The longer the time that people spend on a page, the more relevant it is considered. The assumption here is that a visitor that comes to a web page after making a specific keyword search happens to leave the page in just few seconds, they are not finding the information that they are looking for. When this happens regularly, search engines give lesser priority to those pages in future searches which means less traffic and fewer conversion possibilities. Make sure you keep your optimization efforts highly focused. Resist the temptation to optimize each page for too many words. The keywords should be related to each other. Don't be a keyword spammer! When optimizing your web page for top keywords, make sure that these keywords get prominence in the web page content. For best results, use these keywords in the page headings so that your visitors will see them immediately. This will help you convince your visitors that they are in the right place and make them spend some more time in your website reading what you have got to offer. Don't be afraid to be obvious. Attention spans are short and ignoring that is done so at your own peril. There are plenty of options for information on the web, make sure that you eliminate those options be staying relevant. Rather than having chunky paragraphs of content, present the information in bulleted formats, which will make easy reading. As the internet offers the consumers with myriad options, internet users are becoming highly vacillating. Make the best use of the first few initial seconds that they are at your website. If you miss this opportunity then you will lose your visitors forever, as your competitors are ready to grab your prospective customers.People do tend to remember sites that fail to impress as much as those which do. Keep your landing page design and layout simple. Being neat and impressive goes a long way. Have a clear goal for each page, don't go scattershot. You should direct your website visitors towards that goal. Not many websites know how to do this and hence they lose a lot of visitors that come to their website. Don't be a loser, keep it clean and easy! |

What search engines want to see is websites that build their links in the organic fashion. They want your website popular online by providing good content that is link worthy. Buying links is frowned upon – period! The problem is that this may not work for all websites. This does not mean that you cannot get back links for your website at all. You need to look at link building strategies that imitate natural link growth. Search engines are sophisticated and getting more sophisticated day by day. Search engine algorithms rank links using various parameters. They value links from contextual pages and links from niche related websites. That is easy enough to understand – it shows real value. For search engines, such links make sense because websites will link to websites that are relevant to the subject matter or the niche. When you get started, look for Link Building Companies that offer natural link building solutions. There are number of natural link building strategies available today that work well, but only a few are exceptional, like the link wheel SubmitEdge offers. article submission is one of the simplest natural link building strategies around. There are other link building strategies such as link baiting, article prism etc., which are natural link building strategies. Even Squidoo lenses help you build links in a natural way. There are numerous natural link building strategies and you just need to find the best strategies that work the best for your website. You just have to know what you are looking for and how to make use of them in a natural appearing fashion. Make sure that you choose the best natural Link Building Company you can get when you start your campaign. Look for a company that has not had a client sandboxed – that is huge. Some companies may promote themselves as natural link building companies but they may not be doing that in all reality. The problem is that you will not know your risk factors until you take time to review link building companies. Your link building company should enjoy good reputation in the industry – use Google, it works! Do not compromise your website's online reputation to keep your link building costs low. In the end this will only cost you more in terms of lost conversions and massive repair work. Ranking will improve fast if you limit your link building efforts to natural link building. You will be able to get fast results when you acquire natural links or choose link building strategies that imitate natural link growth. That is the best strategy around without any doubt. This will not only give you peace of mind because you know that your website is safe with the search engines but at the same time, you will also be able to improve your website's rankings fast. In the end, peace of mind and results are a hard combination to beat! |

You can send traffic to your website in one of two ways – paid traffic and organic traffic. Both are important for your website and you should know how to make use of both to improve your website's online performance. You have to make an intelligent comparison to make the right choice all around. Driving traffic through paid traffic generation procedures like PPC will give you instant results. That is undeniable. You will be able to drive traffic to your site within few hours actually. Because of that, this is very useful method to drive traffic for brand new websites that are yet to gain popularity online and that are yet to get good rankings in the search engines. You need to start somewhere, and if you need to start fast and have a budget this works great. The other side of the coin is that PPC programs can turn out to be a very expensive way of driving traffic to your website over the long run. You will have no real guarantee that the traffic that comes to your website will be highly targeted traffic. You will be paying per visitor irrespective of the fact whether your visitors are targeted or not. That is an important set of factors to keep in mind before jumping into PPC. Organic traffic generation through SEO is one of the most recommended methods out there. This method will take a considerable amount of time to drive traffic to your website however. The process is also complicated when compared to PPC. You will need to hire an experienced SEO company to get good results. This is a more cost effective solution for online website promotion or anyone with a more limited budget. You will be able to get constant flow of targeted visitors with minimum on going expense. When you want to drive traffic to your website it is best not to take 'one or the other' approach. You must make use of all the tools and all the strategies available at your disposal. Combining the two methods can produce a stream of immediate results from PPC that slowly give way to organic results via SEO. It is a common train of thought that PPC will drive quality traffic just by signing up with a PPC service like Adwords. It sounds simple enough, but it takes work. You need to optimize your efforts to improve the performance of your campaigns. This requires a considerable amount of experience to get the best value for your money otherwise you are throwing good after the bad in the long run. With paid traffic generation, your monthly or yearly spending will continue to increase as more websites are launched in your niche. It is a never ending process to a degree. Your primary source of traffic should come through organic methods and you should use paid traffic generation strategies to support your organic traffic generation strategies – not the other way around. If everything is done correctly, you may reach a point where you can rely almost exclusively on SEO – but that depends in large part on how good your SEO copywriter is. |

Miscalculations made regarding banner ads will waste your money. They will also give you false hope in many instances. You may be thinking you are going to get good traffic to your websites through these banner ads and you will end up sitting and waiting for a long time to see results not realizing that they actually aren't working. While you are trying to be patient, the problem is with the banner ads them self. If that is the case, you need to take alternative steps to drive traffic to your website. Sometimes banner ads are just not appropriate or sensible for promoting your particular product or service. Take some time to investigate and see if there is really a reason to invest in banner advertising. Here are few tips on how you can get the best out of your designated investments in banner ads and get the desired traffic. An excellent example is as follows: You are a hosting service provider. Logic would dictate that as a matter of course that you will be able to get good conversion rates by placing your banners on websites that sell website templates or web design services. People who are looking for website design services will also require web hosting services. Targeted placement makes a tremendous difference. If you randomly place your banner ad all over the web with little or no regard as to who it is most likely to appear in front of, then you have a scattershot approach and random clicks are the best you can hope for. Another aspect of this that you need to keep in mind is the traffic level of the website that hosts your banners. If the website you are advertising does not have much traffic, then there is no use in paying for your banner to be displayed since there are no visitors to see it. Research the sites you are considering to ensure they have enough traffic so you will be able to get good traffic and conversions. This is a matter of spending wisely – targeted spending – not the scattershot approach discussed above which doesn't work. Look for websites with good solid PageRank as potential hosts for your banner ad. When you get websites with good PageRank, the odds are they will also probably have good search rankings for top keywords. If that is the case, you will be able to get a good back link from a high PR website. This will help you get good search rankings. This is just a secondary benefit of banner ads – high PageRank sites usually also have good traffic, so obviously this is the primary reason for targeting high PR sites. Happy Linking! |

| Posted: 26 Dec 2011 07:38 PM PST Riding your motorcycling in winter, when it is very cold, is rarely a good idea. Better leave it in your garage and use it when it is less cold, no? But if you really want to use it, make sure to remove the ice before using it!

Some website owners are hesitant to hire an SEO company or freelancer to implement SEO for their company. SEO is an on going process which means there really are not any breaks. There are several phases in SEO which can however be laid out for a set formulaic approach. Certain phases follow a natural timeline while others can be handled in large portions at whatever times wind up being the most opportune moments. Think ahead and focus on segmenting these phases so that they are implemented in such a way that your funds are spent in a steady flow instead of blowing your budget at the very beginning and hoping to hang on for dear life at the end. Prioritize and then build on a solid foundation. While spending a bulk amount of money should be avoided whenever possible, be aware that initially you may have to pay up for the setup costs followed by monthly maintenance and continued optimization and fees. This is not unusual as it takes a considerable amount of time to create the necessary tools and plans to make your SEO efforts effective. You will also be required to spend a considerable amount of money on link building, but once your initial links are set, new ones can be built on an ongoing basis. As you emphasize social media others will begin to link to you helping keep a steady flow. An attractive advantage of the phased approach is that it will make your efforts look more natural. Link building, in particular, should be accomplished in several phases. Rather than buying a 10,000 links package, you can phase in slowly at 1,000 links per month. This will leave funds with you instead of being locked in. You can simply spread the cost out over time. A sudden hike in your links count is not good for your website anyway. if it looks too good to be true, it probably is – and don't think directories and SERPS don't notice what is natural appearing and what is a fabrication. Instead of adding a hundred articles in a single month, space it out over a period of two to three months with a page added each day. Make it appear as though your site is regularly updated with fresh content, which the search engines respect. You will be benefiting in that you will also be spending only small amount of your budget each month on each type of SEO. You can also reduce your SEO budget by finding an SEO Service provider that is capable of delivering results on a consistent basis. Your SEO Service provider should also offer their services at competitive prices. Check out SubmitEdge for our all inclusive SEO packages! We have a deal ready to help you! |

| To blog comment or not to blog comment? 65% say YES to blog commenting! Posted: 22 Dec 2011 06:01 AM PST Blog comments: quick link building win or spam-tastic black hat method you wouldn't touch with a barge pole?
I wanted to find out what the general consensus was on this controversial topic within the SEO world, so I set out on something of a fact-finding mission to attempt to answer one question: does blog commenting work, and if so, can it be done in a white hat way? (Ok, I guess that's two questions then.) Let's clarify what we mean by 'blog commenting'
Are people still using blog comments in this day and age?
So, based on this sample size, that's 65% of SEOs saying yes to some form of blog commenting being used for link building. Encouragingly, it looks as though most are doing so using their real identity, but that's still 35% who don't 'do' blog commenting (or at least, won't own to it). So does blog commenting actually help your rankings? The anecdotal evidence certainly supports the argument in favour of blog commenting for link building. One particularly enthusiastic commenter on the poll said: "I, and many other people, have ranked pages using nothing but blog comment links. There’s no opinion in if it works or not – the answer is yes. How *well* it works vs. other tactics, what types of terms it can work for, and if it’s worth the effort of doing manually are other questions entirely. But, as a sweeping statement – anyone who claims it doesn’t work either… did it wrong, never tried for themselves, or didn’t do enough of it." – Ian Howells I also asked SEOptimise's very own link building genius Marcus Taylor for his opinion, and he said: “Blog commenting is something I’ve experimented with considerably over the years and have ranked sites competitively using just blog commenting as a strategy, so I can confidently say that it does work, although it’s certainly not the most effective link building strategy." Overcoming the obstacles
So is it still worth it? Some surmise that blog comment links, even followed ones, may carry less weight with Google than regular links. However, as Rand Fishkin points out in this useful post on blog commenting, if you leave a helpful enough comment, the author of the post might even edit the original post to include your link in the post itself – and that's a lot better than relying on comment-based links! The bottom line: a helpful response that suggests your link as an additional resource is likely to result in sufficient success to justify the extra time it takes to leave a worthwhile comment. Blog commenting isn't just about rankings This is what my Twitter followers had to say about blog commenting… "Not sure I use it for link building per se, but I do leave them for the engagement side. I encourage clients to engage in communities in that way – would I do it on their behalf? Not unless I really knew what I was saying inside out, as saying the wrong things is more damaging for the brand than any link gain may give." – Peter Handley "Although I don’t use commenting for link building directly, I do sometimes use it as an early stage of building a relationship with a blogger or particular author as part of outreach projects." – Paul Rogers Marcus Taylor added, “I think the greater benefit of commenting is to build relationships with the bloggers themselves. In my opinion, there’s nothing wrong with blog commenting, providing you don’t do the whole spammy anchor text name thing and you do add value to the post. Steer clear of overdoing it or doing it on spammy/irrelevant sites solely for the links and you’ll be fine.” So from what I've seen, the consensus seems to be: there's still a place for blog commenting – but not the spammy black hat kind. Blog comments can build you valuable links both directly and indirectly, but maximum benefit comes from genuine engagement – communicate what you're interested in and knowledgeable about, and the time it takes will more than repay itself.

Your SEO budget should be flexible. At times, you may have to take some additional measures to increase the traffic level such as ads for paid traffic. There may also be times when you will need or want to invest in getting the right type of organic traffic. If you don't do your own SEO, you have to figure out what you need an SEO Firm to do the most when you hire them. Track your SEO for six to twelve weeks before changing course. The last thing you want to do is invest the time and money into a program only to jump ship before you see the results appearing that indicate you were on the right track. If you are launching a new website, the initial expenses for SEO will almost assuredly be pricier than would be seen for an existing site. Unfortunately, many webmasters who spend a lot of money on their website design fail to set aside the right budget for their website's SEO. It's hard to put a figure for the SEO both in terms of $$ or in terms of % of the over all cost of your website development. It comes down to knowing all the expenses before you start and using some common sense to make a realistic budget. The size of your website will be a factor in what your SEO budget should be. If you have a 5 page website then setting aside 20% of the cost of the website will probably not meet your SEO needs effectively. If you run a massive shopping cart then 20% of the overall cost of your website will likely be a more than adequate budget. There are plenty of gurus and half-baked guys calling them self pros who learned SEO from a $19.95 ezine that will try to fleece – and even big companies fall to these hucksters and pretenders, but you know in your own mind what is real and fake and what is viable to meet your needs and insufficient. Factor in the amount of competition that you need to fight and the earning potential. Having a generous budget for your SEO can help, but only if you spend it wisely and on the right SEO professionals who know what they are doing and can provide real results. Stay away from guys who are SEO "pros" by day and wannabe rock star bass players at night. If you identify the right SEO Service provider everything will fall into place. |

For starters, the tools that allow you to automate a large number of tasks you regularly face may end up causing you more trouble than they are worth. You have been warned! Keeping that in mind, before you start using any software tools to promote your site or improve your SEO, you should rundown the following tutorial to ensure you are choosing the right tool and automating the right processes. Many SEO processes are better done manually, including the all important Directory Submission. Tools are only good if used correctly by a person that knows what they are doing – not just a trained monkey clicking buttons for a feeder pellet. Directory submissions can be handled by SEO software tools, but is best done manually. Most of the directories try to curb the practice of automated link building efforts through directory submission, because it results in spamming of the sites by abusers of the system. Sadly, this means that since there are a few 'evildoers' who refuse to curb the temptation to spam, the rest of us are unable to benefit from the time saving measures we could otherwise take advantage of thanks to modern technology. These are the same "evil doers" you find on Twitter for instance that tweet whatever anyone pays them to out through a few hundred sock puppet accounts that are only followed by other sock puppets. Different scenario, same morons. There are some tools that will speed up certain parts of carrying out directory submissions that do not count as being 100% automated. Basically. These programs save and use your generic information for successive submissions reducing time and effort. Almost all directories now try to verify human submission by using 'CAPTCHA' registration verification, so you will have to enter each site's individual CAPTCHA code manually – these tasks cannot be automated. SEO software tools marketed today rarely reflect truthfulness in advertising. It's unfortunate but true. A tool may promise to get you good rankings with the click of few buttons, but in reality, no software tool available today is capable of replacing human optimization. if it was that easy, everyone would use it and the tool would be totally useless. Follow the logic. Ultimately you have to figure out a way to streamline your SEO processes when optimizing your website. Directory submission is one place where you need to be hands on, and if you don't have time for that then an SEO Firm can help provide that service for you. Tools that claim to use 'artificial intelligence' on SEO are also as big a waste as SEO's that think using those tools is effective – without the outrageous surcharge to have them press a button for you. There is no such thing as a 100% successful SEO tool to crack algorithms or automate every process. The unpredictable behavior patterns of the human mind and the ever changing rules of the search engines assure that case to be true. Carefully consider the reality of the claims made by software manufacturers before spending your money on software tools that don't provide good results. Similarly, consider those claims that come from these one man SEO's who you can't locate on Google – aside from pictures of them mugging for attention. |

Here's the thing about SEF and Joomla though - when you first install Joomla, this SEF feature is not enabled. If you fail to enable SEF in your Joomla admin, your website's URLs will be unfriendly and search engine bots may find it difficult to crawl your pages – leading to poor indexing of your website and subsequently a poor ranking in the SERPs. This is how that one small hing makes everything fall apart. When you have an automatically generated URL that is not search engine friendly, your URLs will not be relevant to your page's content or your meta tags data. This will work against your website in terms of online performance. When you enable the SEF feature you will be able to generate search engine friendly URLs – a crucial aspect of SEO. Basically, you just wasted all your time and money because the one thing that is really worth having you do not have. Before you enable the SEF feature in Joomla, make sure the required configuration is available from the hosting server. Go to the Joomla admin console to enable the SEF feature and obtain better control of the your site's Joomla created URLs. After your SEF URL feature is enabled you can start to generate URLs that are relevant to your site's content. They main advantage is that you will be able to insert your main keywords into your URLs. That is what the biggest concern really is. The SEF Advance feature is not free. This can be considered a worthwhile investment, and should be budgeted as part of your websites SEO expenses if you really believe that Joomla is that good. Before you pay the fee for the SEF Advance feature, make sure that your hosting has the required configurations and that your hosting provider supports the feature. If not, you just got pwned. Your SEO Service provider will be able to advise you on the SEF feature if you don't quite understand its usefulness and importance. This is one reason you should hire an experienced team to handle your website's SEO – in addition to their speed experience. Also consider using Joomla just to play around and see if you actually like it before making the commitment to pay for it. A lot of SEOs feel Joomla is so user unfriendly that no tool it offers makes it worth the headache., That is something you will have to decide for yourself. |

While that SOUNDS great, many website owners have no idea that the AJAX applications they use can actually damage the SEO value of their site. AJAX uses Java Script – and search engines cannot read Java script. That is a huge problem in and of itself. Search engines ignore content delivered through AJAX. Can you say pwned? If you use AJAX, you certainly can. If you think that your navigation menu would look better using AJAX, stop for a moment and consider the fact that it will not be seen or crawled by search engine spiders. If that doesn't send warning flares up all around you, maybe you should use AJAX. Your site's navigation menu is a massive part of your site. It is immensely important for SEO. If complete crawling of such an important element is not possible, you are going to be working against yourself in terms of SEO for your website. You will basically be throwing your whole SEO budget into a black hole in which there is not and never will be any win. Don't be a fool – make your website search engine friendly. Ensure that every page of your website shows up in HTML. Check whether your website is serving HTML pages by switching off the Java Script in your web browser. If you don't get any error messages even when the Java Script is switched off, then you are seeing what the search engines see and all is well – your full content is being crawled. AJAX uses an intermediary engine and does not refresh the page – which means the content delivered through AJAX does not correspond to the URL displayed, since it is snagged from a secondary engine to save time. This means that such a page cannot be reached by search engines, and that no browser history will be found for web pages delivered through AJAX. Does all of this mean that you cannot use AJAX for your website? Of course not. It's like Flash – you simply have to know how to deal with the complexities, and make sure you have crawlable content. AJAX is perfectly fine if you want people to look at your site and shake their head wondering what programmer from the 90's made it. AJAX has purpose, and if rankings mean nothing to you at all, AJAX delivers a great user experience. |

Social media marketing is one of the most important search engine marketing strategies that you can make use of currently, and the outlook for the future is even bigger. If you have not been focusing efforts in large part, or even minimally, on 
We all realize how difficult it is to get top rankings in the search engines for the right keywords and the efforts that are then required to remain on top of the search results. These efforts make sense only when the visitors that come to your website stay long enough on your website to be converted or lead to a later conversion. The main factors for increasing conversions rates is to increase the average time spent by the visitors in your website.
If you have heard that you can get hundreds of links for your website by buying links from link farms then you should know that it might not be the best way to get links for your website. You may also want to avoid buying any real estate. Search engines do not like links from link farms. It is that simple. You can get your website demoted in the search results and you can even get your website banned by getting links from link farms. Search engines are deadly serious about this as many ill-informed site owners can tell you from experience.
The first thing you need to think about when you launch a new website for your business is that you take the necessary steps to drive traffic to your website. If you don't have adequate traffic to your website, you cannot expect any business conversions which makes the process moot. The higher the traffic rate, the better the conversion rate. Driving traffic to your website is no easy task. There is a huge industry, a lot of research and huge sums of money involved in driving traffic to websites.
