Local SEO Is A Carefully Guarded Secret
Despite that concession, 60% of consumers turn to the Internet first for local shopping and business information, with half of those consumers turning to a major search engine, more than a quarter heading straight for Internet Yellow Pages and the rest going right to local search sites like Citysearch. When it comes to local search, many companies haven't bought in yet. Consumers are only half way there. In almost every industry, people go online to begin their search for a product to buy. But that's where the romance of online shopping ends for most consumers. They still don't trust the security of Internet transactions. Should they? Let's face it. Cyber crime and identify theft are scary. It's an area that most people don't know a whole lot CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
Ways To See If Your Content Is Being Stolen
They call it content scraping. Thieves and pirates, or whatever you choose to call them, will take content from legitimate websites and build complete AdSense sites around them. They might make a little bit of money each month of the content, but that's not the point. The content belongs to someone else. Should you care?

But there are ways of finding these content scrapers without wasting a lot of time. Here are a few ideas: Copyscape- Go to copyscape.com and copy your website content into the space provided.

How To Anchor The Text On Your Website With Relevant Keywords
SEO Tip: This one works for your website or your blog. Take your important keyword and link it to another page within your website that uses that keyword. It is important for links to point to pages that are relevant. That is, relevance is a two-way street. Example: Page A is about fast cars. The keyword around which the content is written is "dual exhaust." Obviously, the owner of the website has something to say about how dual exhaust systems contribute to making cars go faster. That's the point of the web page. His secondary keyword on this page is "speed" and he also uses "fast cars" a few times because that's the overall theme of his website. Page B of this website is also about CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
Blog Pirates, Content Thieves, And Other Ne’er-do-wells: They Don’t Make Me Cry
(Pilgrim) I personally gave up trying to fight the blog pirates. Even if you’re successful in getting one to stop, another pops-up within days (probably by the same guys). Good idea. Give up. No, really. I mean it. Just give up. There are more of us than there are of them and the best way to combat them is to educate more of us. Call them blog pirates, content thieves, or just plain old-fashioned SOBs, they're evil and they're dastardly. It is right and good to hate them. Or, at least, to hate what they do. But should we really waste our precious time trying to fight them? I mean, every minute you take away from chasing a content thief, that's one minute you take away from marketing CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
How To Brand Yourself Online Or Offline
(Source) Most bad customers are not really bad customers. They’re just bad customers for you. They’re a bad fit. And it’s your fault. I've never thought about this, but I guess he's right. If you want the best customers in the world then you should market yourself toward that target audience and forget everyone else. It seems like common sense - a no-brainer, if you will. But not everyone does this. The easiest way to identify your target market is to create a profile of the perfect customer. Take out a sheet of paper and write down the characteristics of your perfect customer: What do they want? How old are they? Male or female? What kind of car do they drive? Where do they shop? What kind of music do they CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
