Target Keywords for Your Web Site!

Target Keywords for Your Web Site!

Everyone who has sat down and designed a web site and tried to optimize the site runs into the same challenges with Keywords and Keyword Phrases. What keywords or keyword phrases should I use and how popular are those keywords in any given category are questions we all ask. Without the use of relative keywords in your source code and content of your site, you probably won't get to far with trying to obtain good page ranks with the search engines. You probably won't get ranked at all. Relative keywords and keyword phrases are imperative if you want to succeed online.

There are certain recommendations that apply here for choosing the right keywords or phrases for you to accomplish a successful marketing campaign. Getting the right keywords is probably one of the most crucial parts of any campaign you may be involved in. To perform this function effectively, you will spend hours or even a couple of days searching for the right words, putting them in a priority list, using other research sources, figuring out what your competition is using for their good page rank and more. However, without this step of the process being very precise in it's final format, you may spend an incredible amount of time later on. It's better to spend the time up front than trying to repair the problem later on.

After you've made a long and detailed list of the keywords you feel best describes your business opportunity, then start narrowing that list down to the most targeted keywords that apply to what your web site is all about. The goal here is to laser focus your keywords to best describe your site and gain top page ranks with the top search engines. If doesn't make a difference whether you like Google, Yahoo or MSN, the keywords will be what each of these engines are looking at.

If you have several competitors that uses some of the keywords you've chosen, your journey to top position with the search engines may be difficult to achieve. Don't get discouraged here, even though you may have to work a bit harder you can still accomplish your goals if you try hard enough. There is only one top position on any search term you look for, however, getting a ranking on page one is fantastic, page two being good, or page three just fair, you can possibly get some better positions with less popular keywords or keyword phrases. Remember, keywords are critical for success and the end result is well worth the efforts put forth in this vital part of the search engine optimization process.

Many sites with lower page ranks can get high traffic from the search engines. Like anything else....the higher you rank the farther you can fall. Sure I love the page one, position one with the search engines, but I have learned to be content with a lower page ranking and by working hard, keeping a presence on page one with maybe two or three positions on the first page.

To give you an example...this morning like every other morning I checked to see where I stand on Google for a particular keyword phrases I started promoting about 4 months ago. It is a very competitive keyword phrase. Out of 375 million listing showing....my primary business site was NOT #1....Bummer Right? Not necessarily....because one of my 3rd level domain sites was Page #1...position #1 on google....in position #5 was an article I wrote a couple of months ago and in position # 8 was one of my blogs I post to everyday.....What? Three page ranks for my opportunity on page #1 of Google! All of these page #l ranking positions was pointing to my primary business with links from each of these sites. I think you're beginning to see the point here. I got a Gold...a Silver...and a Bronze Medal, all in the same day. Sure a #1 position with my primary business would have been great, but tell me which scenario will give me the most online exposure when promoting my business opportunity. I think the answer is obvious.

The key here is to be persistent. Every single day I write at least one article linking to my primary business opportunity. I post that article on numerous blogs, hand index the URLs to the search engines and promote the my information in various other venues using the intenet as my only source of promoting. Folks, I'm just a retired country boy that does the same process over and over everyday with new keyword rich content in articles sharing information about how to promote an online business. If I can be successful online, so can you if your put forth the effort to learn the process and be willing to do whatever it takes to do it right.

Learning how to search for the best keywords and taking the time to use those keywords in my writings has been a never ending challenge but well worth the rewards that it affords. You to can earn "Top Positions in Google" and other search engines by following the process we've been talking about here today. If you don't know how to do this process, then buckle down and do some research about this crucial process of finding the right keywords before you just throw something out there on the internet regarding your opportunity.

Optimizing for the Search Engines!

Optimizing for the Search Engines!

Trying to optimize your web site to rank well in the three major search engines can be a daunting task. Each of the big three have different algorithms they use to rank your site. We will discuss some of these differences with our primary focus on Yahoo in todays article.

There was a time when Yahoo was the most popular search engine on the internet. When Google came on the scene it was clear that these two search engines were looking at totally different methods of calculating rankings within their systems. At one point if you ranked high in Google you couldn't rank high in Yahoo, so optimizing your site had to be done in two opposing configurations in your web site.

The other major player in the top search engines popularity was and still is MSN. In todays marketing, ignoring anyone of the big three search engines is a hugh mistake. Each of these engines has a very distinct function they play in web site optimization and must be addressed if you want to attain top positions on the big three. (Google, Yahoo and MSN (BING)

There are various reports of how much of the market share each of these giants share in the overall figures for popularity. Google has taken a good percentage of the market because of the precise search results that Google displays when you do a "Google It" search. However, depending on what search results you need for different type of marketing results, keep in mind the valuable information given by Yahoo and MSN.

All of these search engines use a different algorithm in their process which in turn will give different results. These algorithms change on a frequent basis, so don't try to understand all the little details factored into each of their formulas. By knowing there are some differences in the structuring of each of these search engines and that there will be different outcomes in the search results you will be able to compare the differences and learn very quickly which of the results for a search query best fits your requirements for optimizing your business opportunity.

All the major search engines use robot spiders to search the pages of the internet to gather information and then indexes that data into their databases. A recent report states that Slurp (the Yahoo spider bot) is the second most active spider crawler on the internet. Like all other spiders if there are missing links, missing pages and other required information such as meta tag descriptions, lack of keywords...just to name a couple of items, then the information is incomplete and the results of the search engine will be low or even non existent.

It is imperative to have your web site optimized as much as humanly possible to get the search engines to give your site high page ranks. If you do a half way job on your web site optimization then don't expect to earn high positions with any of the search engines.

Another difference is Google and Yahoo is the sand box theory we talked about in a recent article. The Google sand box may last for a month or two or even longer. However, the Yahoo sand box for the most part is for a shorter period of time. Optimize your web site correctly and follow the rules and guidelines and avoid being put in the sandbox if at all possible.

In some of the recent changes in the algorithm of the major search engines one very important issue you must take into consideration is the linking and back linking in your web site. It appears that Google puts more importance on the links and back links than Yahoo and MSN, however, Yahoo focuses more on the page factors such as keyword density in the title, the URL, and the headings.

Even though there are considerable differences in the way each search engine determines their page rank of your site there is one distinct factor that is common to all the search engines. The keywords in the title and in the URL are treated by the engine as one of the most important factors considered. Note...If you don't include some keywords in the title and the URL, you will never gain a top 10 position with the search engines. Be cautious here but don't over do it....anymore than 3 or 4 keywords could create a negative deduction on your rankings.

Keywords in filenames also score well with Yahoo, however, with Google there is little importance put on this function. Keyword density is important to Yahoo but on the other hand Google may ban your site if the keyword density is over 7-8%.

There are numerous other factors that may change your positions on any one of the search engines. Do your homework here and be familiar with as many of the contributing factors in the search engine algorithms as possible. Knowledge here is important for you to gain top positions on Google, Yahoo, MSN and other popular search engines. Learn as much as you can about this process and use your knowledge to your advantage to earn top page rank for your business opportunity.

Home Based Business - Time Management

Home Based Business - Time Management

Most of us have had the desire to have our own home based business. There are advantages of working from home like saving on gas and avoiding traffic jams, not having to listen to some grouchy boss giving you a hard time because he had a bad night at home. Each of us have a bit different take on this subject, however the basis for a successful home based business opportunity is the same for all of us. We want to talk today about some guidelines that will help with some questions you may have on how this all works.

You must be a self starter and be able to control your time. Without time management system it is next to impossible to succeed in any home based business. To begin with you may have to sit down every morning and physically make a list of duties you need to get done. Once you get the list made, then put those chores in a priority format.

I try to put my chores in three different categories. First thing every morning I have at least 30 minutes of devotional reading. This clears my mind from all the mundane things in life. Never forget your spiritual values and beliefs. Then comes the things I need to devote to the family. Don't squeeze the family out trying to start your new venture. You need to devote a given amount of time to the promotion of your new business. Your normal job requires at least 8 hours of commitment to the job. You may have to devote a bit more time in the beginning of this venture, however, don't forget about yourself. Now would be a good time to position these duties in priority in your list you created earlier.

I prefer to get my emails out of the way first. There will some items in the email that will need to be taken care of rather quickly. Put those chores in your list. Once you include these things in your list, then put your list in order with the highest priorities forst to the lowest priorities. Now within this list you may want to put the most time consuming chore first and get it out of the way while your energy levels are still high. I like to write any article the first thing in the morning before all the distraction of the day takes all my attention. I try to get all the critical items out of the way before lunch if possible.

Many of our task can be scheduled either daily, weekly or monthly. Once you identify your tasks, then set your priorities.

When setting up your personal priority schedule be very realistic in your commitments. Give yourself plenty of time to complete your duties and give yourself some extra time for any distractions that may occur. Try to take a short break after each chore, grab a cup of coffee and let your mind relax and re-coup from the concentration pressures you may have developed from your previous chores.

Don't procrastinate about getting a particular chore done. The self motivation and the discipline we talked about earlier in this article is definitely important here. There are some chores that you may be able to incorporate with another chore within a timed frame you've set up...That's OK...Here you may want to drink a cup of coffee at the same time you're proofing an article you've written. Use your own good judgement. The main thing here is to set yourself on your schedule and follow that regiment until you are forced to change it. The main point here is to get in a routine and then re-assess your chores as needed.

Working in your own home based business has so many advantages and benefits. Once you experience the peace of mind and accomplishment with your new venture, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. Good luck to you in your home based business venture.

If you have any questions or need some personal mentoring you can contact the eBiz Solutions Team for a free 30 minute consultation.

Building Back Links!

Building Back Links!

We've touched on backlinks in some of recent articles. In todays writing we want to pursue the benefits of backlinks a bit more and discuss how quality backlinks are important to your online success. We've all heard how important quality backlinks are to any successful search engine optimization strategies when promoting our business opportunity, but most of us hasn't taken the time to learn the very basics of what linking and backlinking is all about.

Since backlinks are created from another web site and points to your site you may or may not have any control of where those links came from or the quality of the backlinks. If you know the webmaster of the other site, it would be possible to contact that individual and construct the links and backlinks to benefit both sites. This scenario is an exception rather that the rule.

Most people believe that the more backlinks they have pointing to their site the better it is for their popularity. This again may or may not be the case. Sites with similar topics to your site are the most valuable kind of backlinks. This is especially true if the anchor text contains your keywords.

There are many different ways to build backlinks the natural way. To name just a few, getting listed in directories, participating in blogs and forums and of course posting in article directories. A word of caution here....inter-linking from one site to another site owned by the same business for the purpose of spam linking is a no...no with the search engines. Any kind of illegal content is a no...no. Purchasing links in bulk or linking to link farms is not acceptable. Use extreme caution here to avoid search engine sanctions for participation in questionable practices.

Do some research and find a place you can generate quality backlinks. Many webmasters use a backlink builder tool that will give you a list of sites by simply entering one of your prime keywords and the tool will give you a list of sites where you can post to articles, message boards forums etc.. Once you acquire this information, this is where your work begins. You must visit each of the suggested sites and post your content with a backlink to your site in their own information format. This author does not suggest or endorse any particular backlink builder tool. This is just a suggested method of finding places to generate backlinks. Do your research and see if this type of system may work for you.

It is important to generate backlinks by getting listed in web directories like, DMOZ, Yahoo just to name a couple. This will get you some free quality backlinks which will get you noticed by the search engines as well as the general public. This is not going to be an immediate process, it's going to take time. Some of these ideas will take weeks or maybe even months for the search directories to index you in their recommended categories. Just be patient....it will happen in due time....if you followed their guidelines for inclusion into their program.

If you find a forum or blog that you enjoy, you may want to participate in posting to this type of opportunity. Often search engines will index forums and blogs that continually provide quality content. Having a Google blog of your own is an excellent way to get accustom to blogging. This is time well spent for creating links and backlinks. With forums your post can be very short, however, posting to directories will take some time and a thought process when writing your information. Writing and posting articles is a rewarding method of building a following of search engines and potential clients.

Using RSS feeds is a good way for people to link to your site or blog just to keep up with the quality information you present. These contacts can become loyal customers in a relatively short time. When other sites publish your RSS feed, you will acquire a backlink from that site and your popularity base has just expanded considerably.

If you have something newsworthy you can do a press release and get some good results this way. If a person views your press release and likes what they see, they may want to offer a reciprocal link to your site. This is an excellent way to gain popularity with the search engines as well as with other sites with similar content.

Avoid linking to any type of suspicious or questionable site. Linking in any fashion to such sites is a disaster waiting to happen. Getting a lot of links in a short period of time will look suspicious to the search engines so build good quality links and avoid a large quantity of questionable links for now.

There are a few practices that should be avoided here. Avoid link exchanges. Some webmasters may offer a barter program...you put a link on my site and I'll put a link on your site. Be aware of the ratio between outbound and inbound links. Avoid link farms...the search engines frown on link farms. Your site could be banned from the internet just by being involved with one forbidden activity. Use good common sense here, and you should be OK.

By properly cultivating the various ways of generating quality links and backlinks and avoiding the areas we pointed out above, you should be able to build an effective linking and backlinking systems that will adhere to the search engine guidelines and get the recognition you deserve to have a quality search engine optimized site that will draw potential customers to your site like a huge magnet.

If you have additional questions or need some personal mentoring you can contact a member of the eBiz Solutions Team for assistance at the contact information below.

Understanding Back Links!

Understanding Back Links!

Sometime during our internet business career most of us has heard the term "backlinks" at one time or another. Most people don't understand the importance of using backlinks effectively in their overall marketing strategy. Once you understand how to use valuable function, it will become clear why the search engines considers backlinks as an integral part of Search Engine Optimization. The search engines have guidelines for us to follow in order to get the maximum exposure without getting into trouble with the engines.

What is a "backlink"?? Backlinks are links that are pointed back towards your web site. The number of backlinks pointing to your site indicates to the search engines the popularity of your web site. The more relevant backlinks to your site the more important your site becomes to the search engines. Google will give more credit to web sites that have good quality backlinks and will give that site more relevancy when a search query is made for keywords that appear in your web site.

The number of quality inbound links to your site is what the search engines uses to calculate the relevance of your site to a particular keyword. Getting inbound links is important, however, the quality of these links is more important than the link itself. Here is where quality links far out weighs the quantity of links on your site. Keep in mind that links from a site that has content related to your site are considered by the search engines more relevant than just a link. Thus, a site with unrelated content is considered by the engines to be less relevant. The higher the relevancy of the inbound links to your site, the better the search engines like it and will reward you with higher page rank because of the higher quality of those links.

Search engines are attempting to level the playing field and are looking for links that are generated per their guidelines of quality and are built over a period of time rather than using spam techniques for quick recognition. Webmasters has brought much of these changes on themselves because of questionable practices and the use of link farms. The search engines do not recognize link farms and the use of link farms could get you banned entirely from the web.

We must keep in mind the main reason for good quality back links is to draw visitors to our web site. Unless you can draw visitors to your web site, visitors will probably never find you. This is done with the help of the search engines using the quality backlinks pointing to your site. Visitors need some direction that will guide them to your web site for their consideration of your business opportunity. Once the visitor views your site the quality of your information in your offering will be the deciding factor of whether the visitor becomes your customer....or not.

Many webmasters are deceived about reciprocal linking and how it should work. Google is one of the engines that has put specific filters on reciprocal linking. The concept here has been for a webmaster to place a link on another site and that site would put a link back to the webmasters site. Many times the link exchange was not relevant and the search engines would discount the effectiveness of the exchange. Here the inbound link was not relevant and was ignored by the engines, but the outbound link still got counted. This process diluted the relevancy of the exchange. Many sites have been dropped by the search engines for this type of questionable practices.

Use extreme caution if your going to use reciprocal links. With the new filters being implemented by the search engines, sites may be penalized for linking to a questionable web site. With this new algorithm it may be wise to be a bit more particular with who we choose to exchange links with. Do your research concerning the sites your going to exchange links with. If there is any questions about the relevancy of that site....don't exchange your link with them. Better here to be safe than sorry.

In summary: Definitely use links to gain popularity with the search engines. Understand the purpose of linking, back linking and reciprocal linking and use your strategy of linking in your site by following the search engines guidelines for maximum exposure. If you don't know how to use linking to your advantage with the engines, then take the time and learn this remarkable marketing concept that will boost your exposure to internet visitors who are searching for your product or services.

Avoiding Duplicate Content!

Avoiding Duplicate Content!

The search engines have implemented filters to catch duplicate content. Duplicate content has become a major issue with the search engines. In some cases the search engines will consider duplicate content as spam. Duplicate content as determined by the search engines is defined by the experts as "any deceitful attempt to deliberately trick the search engines into returning inappropriate, redundant or poor-quality search results".

If your pages are an exact replica of other pages or sites you may be penalized by the search engines in their algorithm process to determine your page rank. In this process the engines use a filter that removes the duplicate content pages from the search results. If you are in question on how these filters work, you owe it to yourself to take the time and learn how this process works.

If we understand what the term "duplicate content penalty" means....it may help us to avoid some serious problems before they occur. In fact the penalty phase we mentioned is a misnomer. In this process the search engines actually deduct points from a page in an effort to come up with an overall relevancy score.

It is important to know the difference between filters and penalties. By understanding the difference between these two functions, we may be able to understand a bit better what actually is considered by the search engines as duplicate content.

Web sites with identical pages would be considered duplication of content. The search engines may also consider identical pages as spam. Be careful here because once the search engines determine that you are trying to spam them, some serious things start to happen. There has been cases where a web site has been banned for one year or more. To re-establish your site is nearly an act of congress. It is a vicious process to get this situation corrected. Sometimes it can never be resolved.

A good example of where the duplicate content filter takes effect would be some affiliate sites with the same look and feel may be targeted for duplicate content and spam. You should consider building a unique splash page here with a link to your affiliate site and promote the splash page instead of the affiliate site.

Doorway pages can be vulnerable here as well. Landing pages are sometimes mistaken for doorway pages. Unless you know exactly what the function of a doorway page plays in marketing and how to construct the doorway pages, you may be wise to bypass the doorway page part of promoting all together.

Sometimes re-writers can get you in trouble. We've all seen the advertisements about writing one article and the re-writer will generate 1,000 different versions of the article. Be careful here folks...the search engines frowns of this activity. Remember in our recent articles the emphasis we put on writing fresh, keyword rich, relevant content? Don't get caught in the re-write snare just to save a little time...I guarantee it will come back and bite you very quickly.

If you are promoting a manufactured product that is being advertised with identical content by thousands of other distributors, you may be considered as a spammer. This type of duplicate content may be a little harder for the search engines to find, however, it is still considered as spam. It is best to rewrite the product description and then publish to the internet.

Many times when you write an article and someone picks up your writings for publishing, there could be a problem here as well. This could be considered as duplicate content by some of the search engines. Most search engines will consider who was the original source of the information so a problem does not occur. If you copy someone else's articles or content, make sure you put it in "quotes" and give the original author the credit for the writing. By following this advise you should avoid any problems with duplication.

When the search engine robots crawl your web site, it reads the content of your pages and stores the information in their databases. The engines then compares your information with other sites with like content and determines which is the original content source, and then filters our the duplications. Here they may determine whether any part of the content is spam and may also remove that part of the content.

There are programs being offered online to help you avoid duplicate content. Here you can put two different URLs into the tool and the tool will let you know of similar content. This will allow you to make the necessary changes to avoid any problems. There are also programs that for a fee will remove duplicate content by someone who has copied your page or has copied your writings. These are fee based programs and it may or may not be worth your while to remove the duplications. This author does not market such a product, nor do we endorse any particular program. This was for your information only....do your research and make up your own mind if this type of program is for you.

The search engines have set these guidelines for our benefit...The final decision of following this information is up to ou. The easier we can make it for the engines to do their job the better off you will be in the long run. Follow the guidelines of the search engines by writing good quality content, publish your unique information to the web and you will get recognized by the search engines with higher page ranks much quicker than trying to save some time and taking some short cuts that will cost you royally in the end.
