How Press Releases Can Help You Optimize Your Website
You know that link building is one of the best ways to improve your trust factor with the search engines. Well, don't overlook press releases when it comes to helping you build your links. If you write a press release and submit it to an online press release directory then that will serve as a valuable inbound link to your website, but you'll also get an inbound link every time a news agency uses the press release on their website. There are two ways this can work for you. First, news agencies could pick up your press release and publish it as is. If they do, that's another inbound link for you. Another way this could work in your favor is if the news agency takes your CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
SEO: There Are No Shortcuts, Don’t Try To Make Any
(Source) The message to all those getting started with online marketing. Don’t get overwhelmed, it really isn’t as hard as it may look at times. Bite size the process. Start small, work on a few things, just get online. Then we can work on keywords, links and content, then we can analyze the online competitive market you will function within, then, little by little, we can make good progress. We must remember that we have business to run, which have done well all this time without being online, and they must continue to do well. This is sage advice. Don’t try to do everything at once. If you are just starting out online, start slowly. You can’t learn it all in one day. There is much CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
Yahoo! Networks For Greater Leverage
Yahoo! has entered some new agreements that will prove to make its ad empire grow. I think it's safe to say that Google has wrapped up the PPC market. But that's not to say that the No. 1 search engine has a corner on online advertising in general. It is perfectly conceivable that Yahoo! will take the prize in banner advertising in the same way that Google has taken it in PPC. Both can compete in each arena, but it's hard to be No. 1 in every area. Usually, whenever a front runner leaves the pack and gets as big a head start as Google has in the area of search and PPC then that front runner has an edge that is difficult to CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
Link Bait: Are You Fishing Without It?
"Follow me and I will make you fishers of men," said a famous religious leader. But if you are going fishing then you need the right bait. Online, that bait is link bait. What exactly is link bait? Link bait is anything that you have on your website that entices other webmasters to link to you without an invitation. In other words, you snag them like an unsuspecting catfish. Whiskers and all. Link bait works because it provides webmasters with a benefit - information for their site visitors. Yes, it means visitors will leave their website, but savvy webmasters know that if they provide useful services and information for their visitors then their visitors will return for more of it. That's why link bait works. It provides CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
Is Your SEO Giving You The Run-Around?
Read a great article this morning on Gooruze. It was written by Andy Beal so you know it's got to be good, right? The essence of the article, and I agree, is that there is no excuse for an SEO not to share with you what he is doing to improve your site. If he is vague and unresponsive to your requests for information then you should think about going elsewhere. Many inexperienced SEOs or blackhat SEOs will simply stop talking to you when they hit a roadblock or start using tactics that will get you banned. One businesswoman I spoke with said a former SEO advised her to get two websites and put the same content on both websites. She ended up CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
Gooruze Lets Online Marketers Network, Share, And Educate
I learned about it from Andy Beal at Marketing Pilgrim. Gooruze is a new online community for Internet marketers. And it looks pretty cool. This is the part that I like: Using the same robust platform that already powers the successful Minti.com network, Gooruze brings a blend of Digg, Sphinn, Webmaster World, and SEOmoz. The community launches with a fine group of “Founding Gooruze” (of which I am one of them) but offers a level playing field for all members. Those are Andy's words. Now you can't beat the services mentioned above - from Minti to SEOmoz. And if there is another service that utilizes the same platform as these then that service has built in merit. Gooruze, however, is more than just a CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
The Spam Chronicles, Part III: Go To Jail, Do Not Pass Go
And don't even bother collecting $200, or the $2 million you would have made. Spammers are now getting jail sentences, which is pretty serious: (Source) Jeffrey Kilbride, 41, of Venice California, and James Schaffer, also 41, of Paradise Alley, Arizona, were sentenced to 72 months and 63 months in prison, respectively, fined $100,000 and were ordered to pay $77,500 in restitution to AOL. They also were ordered to forfeit over $1.1 million in commissions they made spamming inboxes with pornographic emails. This is pretty wild. It makes me wonder who will go down in history as the biggest cyber criminal - you know, the Al Capone of cyberspace. Instead of bootlegging, it'll be spam. Some of the co-conspirators in this case actually turned state evidence against Kilbride CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
