how to find perfect keyword?

Keyword research is very important. It can make or break a campaign. All of your web pages should have targeted keywords, but which ones? How do you research and choose the right keyword for your project?

It is very hard to have a successful search engine optimization campaign without proper keyword research. Your main objective, when selecting a keyword is to get your website to show in the search results for key phrases that will benefit your project or business.

There are specific keyword research tools online that help internet marketers find the right keywords for their campaigns. There are free and paid tools available.

Below is a short list of the ones I recommend (free and paid).

Free Keyword Research Tools

Google Keyword Tool
Wordtracker
Paid Keyword Research Tools

Market Samurai
Micro Niche Finder
I personally use Market Samurai for all of my keyword research. It is a reasonably priced product and most importantly, it is a very powerful tool for researching keywords. I highly recommend it.

A free alternative would be Google keyword tool. It features a high quality, clean and frequently updated keyword database. It’s nowhere near as powerful as Market Samurai but if your on a budget it will work.

Wordtracker is also a good alternative but it is limited to 100 results. If you want to see all the keywords, you will have to pay.

Because it’s free, I will use Google keyword tool for this article.

Basic keyword research is fairly simple.

First, you will have to enter a keyword or phrase that best describes your project or web site. For this example, I will use the phrase “Real Estate”.
As you can see, globally, over 30 million searches are made for the phrase “Real Estate” every month. Ranking on the first page of Google for this phrase would be very profitable but to do so will take an extensive amount of money and time.

If you sort the results by global monthly searches, you’ll see that the phrase “real estate in new jersey” has only 246,000 monthly searches. It has significantly less searches than the phrase “real estate” but, selecting a longer tailed keyword like this will be more targeted to your business (if you have a real estate business in New Jersey).
This keyword will take less time and cost less to optimize for because there is less search volume and less competition. You can use even longer tailed keywords like “buy real estate in new jersey” or “new jersey real estate for sale”.

Remember, just because the keyword has less search volume doesn’t mean it will be less profitable.

5 Steps to Increase your Google Page Rank

5 Steps to Increase your Google Page Rank

Google Page rank is based on back links. Back links are Links pointing to your website from another website. The more back links you have the higher your PR will be.

1. Join forums, forums are a great way to achieve links to your website. In most forums you are allowed to have a signature and in your signature you can put a link to your website. But another important note to look on is making sure the forum is somewhat related to your website. You will still get credit if it’s not, but if it’s related to your website than you will be accomplishing two tasks at once.

You will be advertising for your website (bringing in targeted traffic) You will also be building your websites presence.

Your websites presence is very important to your survival. The more people see, or hear about your website the more credibility you will have and this increases your chances of having these visitors come back and possibly become leads.

2. Submit to search engine directories. Search engine directories are a good way to get a free link to your website. They also increase your chances at being listed higher on popular search engines like Google, and overture.

Most search engine directories allow you to submit to their website for free. This will allow you to increase your web presence by being listed on another search engine, and it will also be a free link.

Remember the more links you have the higher your PR will be

3. Using ezine ads (or newsletters). Creating an ezine will probably be the most beneficial step you can take to increasing your web presence. When you create an ezine you will be able to keep visitors coming back to your website for more by using signatures and giving special deals.

Ezine’s will also allow you to increase your back links. By creating an ezine you can submit your information about your ezine to an ezine directory. This directory will than link to your website(thus giving you a free link).

4. Creating and publishing articles. Articles are an easy source of generating new traffic. You can include your signature in your article. This will bring in more traffic from article submission directories.

Your signature usually consists of 4 to 8 lines. Usually the first line would be the title of the website that you are trying to advertise. The last line would be the link to the website and the lines in between these would be a sales pitch to draw your viewers into your website.

5. Links from related websites. Gaining links from related websites can be one of the most frustrating tasks you can attempt.

They are very easy to find, but can be somewhat difficult to obtain links from.

To find related websites, all you have to do is go to a search engine… say Google… and type in your subject. Maybe your website is based on ford mustangs.

You go to Google and type in ford mustangs, than you look around for pages that are somewhat related to your website. After you have done this (which should be very easy) you have to contact them in some way to get your link posted on their website. This can be the most difficult task because a lot of webmasters ignore e-mail’s from people requesting links because they don’t see the importance of it at the time. Some other reasons could be that they are rarely online, or they delete spam mail and sometimes delete their important emails in the process.

Important note: When looking for link partners don’t just link with websites that have a page rank of 4 or higher. Link with anyone and everyone you get a chance to. If you link to someone that has a page rank of zero, this will not hurt your page rank. It will only increase it because you are getting a link back to your website. Google doesn’t look at your back links page ranks to determine what yours is going to be. It simply looks at how many back links you have.

So if Google one day decided to link to a website that was just created and this website has a page rank of 0 and has a domain that goes something like this: mywebsite.geocities.com it’s page rank wouldn’t increase even though Google’s page rank is 10, it’s rank would still be zero because it would only have that one back link.

10 Effective SEO Tips july 2011

Writing SEO articles is one of my favourite all the time. My previous SEO articles like Common Errors and Mistakes that Hurt your SEO and Trashing Your Website, How To Optimize Your WordPress Blog For Search Engines and Dos and Donts of Search Engine Optimization are gave me good Google SERP positions as well as fair traffic I always looking for.

This blog was launched in 15th of Jan, 2011 and my present Alexa ranking is 2,038,997 (30.01.2011) and it dropped from 18,574,831 on 18.01.2011.

Thanks to the articles on my blog. I used to blog in node.technohub.in and always wanted to move my blog to own domain and waiting for right time for it. Well enough off topic matter and lets talks about why we are here.

SEO or Search Engine Optimization is a very common term like “Blogging” is used now a days. Few years back SEO was unknown to 60% of people who use internet and by that time only some SEO proffessional companies used to optimize website. But now the things are changed, if you are a blog or website owner you can optimize your website and it will make lot of difference.

In this article you will see top 10 Effective SEO tips that make your blog more Search Engine Friendly.

Keywords: Keywords are very important factor in SEO. Collect some of the greatest and most accurate keywords from your blog and write it down or put it to notepad. Always use those keywords in your every new posts at least once. If you have Google Webmaster account (If you don’t have, get one right away), try to fetch your most common keywords tracked by Google and note down. Use those in your next post. This habit makes your site always available in SERP.
Social Media Bookmarking: or SMO is another way to get your website popular as well as search engine ranking. Submitting your blogs to Social media gives you free traffic and from word of mouth your sites popularity also goes high. There are several Social Media Bookmarking plug-in available if you use Word Press for your blog, get one and start sending your blogs to web 2.0 websites right now.
Comments on Other Blogs (Do-Follow blogs): Collect some popular do-follow blogs and keep commenting on them, search for do-follow blogs using Google and add them to your list. Commenting on do-follow blogs gives you valued back links and also the good page rank from Google. Commenting only niche blogs also gives you high page ranks.
Topic Headline / Header : Your header (Post titles) of the topic in your blog works as a keyword, so always try to use great and SEO friendly headings. For example if you are going to write a how to article, then start with How-To…… , this is because your title already contains the keyword with “How-to” and in SERP it will be highlighted.
RSS feeds: Submit your RSS feed to feed submission websites. This makes your website always available for search engines and also gets you free traffic from those sites.
Update your website : Updating website is like you are feeding to hungry Search engines, publish articles frequently, and make sure after publishing you are doing Social Media submission also.
Blog Submission : There are several blog submission directories are ready to welcome you. Submit your blog and see the traffic flows. Submitting blogs to blog submitting sites also gives you page rank and free traffic.
Forums :Using forums to advertise your blog is another way to get your blog popular. Forums like digital point, Techsupportguys and Microsoft support have an options to use signature after each posting where you can leave a link to your blog, this gets you free back links and traffic. I mentioned only 3 of them but almost all forums let you have links to your website in signature area.
Guest Article : Writing Guest articles on other blogs will help you gain good page rank and traffic. Almost popular blogs lets its visitors to write guest articles on their blogs. In my blog also you can write guest posts. Please contact me here.
Content is King : Always make sure that, the contents on your blog is top most priority. Do not copy others articles. Google’s SEO TOC says if Google bot finds a copied content then your blog is trashed.

I hope this article help someone to understand few key factors of Search Engine Optimization. Thanks for reading my article.

Search Your Keywords Wisely

I have analyzed people just see a keyword with HIGH number of searches and start doing SEO for it . NO ! Never do it .

If your TARGET is to earn through ADSENSE then first check the CPC , CPC means cost per click .It means how much you will be paid for that particular keyword.Also see how many ADVERTISERS are for that keyword .

Because if there are not enough advertisers then your ads will not be displayed in some countries .
You can check this on spyfu.com.Here you can check , how much cpc and ADVERTISERS are for your keywords.

Always remember there are some keywords , which pay even 80 $ per click . So if you are working on a low CPC keyword then you are making loss .

But if your TARGET is to earn through AFFILIATES , then there is no need to go for CPC.

Another important issue is always use a good and paid keyword tool . There are many keywords having low competition and high number of searches.

Unluckily these great keywords can not be searched without help of these paid keywords tool.And if you are not working on them then you are making a big loss of yourself .

Here are SOME KEY POINTS , you should notice .

# There are some keywords , which are not having any competition at all . Are you TARGETING them?

# How fast you can RANKED FOR them?

# How much they can PAY you ?

For getting solutions of these questions , you should use a trusted keyword tool . Micro niche finder and Market Samurai , these 2 are the only softwares , trusted for keyword research . Market Samurai is slow extremely but needless to say how exact and true result it provides. Micro Niche Finder also works great and the best thing is that it works FASTER and very EASY TO OPERATE.

So Micro Niche Finder is the best keyword tool to have

SEO Important Questions and Answers 2011

SEO Important Questions and Answers 2011

1. Give me a description of your general SEO experience.
A. My experience is mainly with my own site at www.xyz.com and one other site www.zxy.com. So far, my site is on page one for narrow search terms involving outdoor recreation in Nevada. The other site has gone from not being listed at all in the first 10 pages of any search result to being in pages 2 and 3 of a couple of search engines. That work is ongoing at this time.

2. Can you write HTML code by hand?
A. Yes I can. I do use some WYSIWYG editors and then modify the code by hand as needed.

3.Could you briefly explain the PageRank algorithm?
A. In simple terms, Google uses the gross number of inbound links to a page to determine how important the page is. This "pagerank" has little to do with actual search results but can make a difference on user behavior.

4. Have you created any SEO tools either from scratch or pieced together from others?
A. No, I do make use of many tools already available on the internet as well as SEO programs that I have purchased.

5. What do you think of PageRank?
A. In relation to SEO projects, it is relatively unimportant but can give an indication of how much work needs to be done in gaining inbound links.

6. What do you think of using XML sitemaps?
A . I use them. They are an additional tool to help the search engines when they crawl a site. There is no requirement for any sitemap and your pages will get indexed without them if you pay close attention to navigation within your site.

7. What SEO tools do you regularly use?
A. Keyword analysis tools, keyword density tools, index checking, backlink checking, wordprocessor to check spelling and grammar, HTML validation and others.

8. Under what circumstances would you look to exclude pages from search engines using robots.txt vs meta robots tag?
A. Usually I would use the robots.txt to keep a search engine from indexing an entire directory on a site. This would often be directories dealing with admin functions or directories that only contain script or image libraries.

9. What areas do you think are currently the most important in organically ranking a site?
A. Text on page! Search engines utilize text and only text in providing search results. That text is found in many place including the URL and title of your pages as well as the visible text you place on your pages.

10. Do you have experience in copywriting and can you provide some writing samples?
A. My experience in "copywriting" is limited to my site at www.afreshpath.com. It is a blog about outdoor recreation in Nevada and so far is placing well in search results.

11. Have you ever had something you've written reach the front-page of Digg? Sphinn? Or be Stumbled?
A. Not yet! I am not particularly worried about it but I do try to write in such a way that others would be inticed to submit my articles.

12. Explain to me what META tags matter in today's world.
A. The most important META tag for SEO is your page description. Search engines do make use of this tag but it does not outweigh the title or visible text. The META keywords tag is not much of a factor in the major search engines but should not be overlooked.
13. Explain various steps that you would take to optimize a website?
A. 1. Interview website owner or webmaster to get a good grasp of the site's purpose and goals.
2. Perform a keyword analysis to find best performing keywords that should be used for that site and for individual pages of the site
3. Analyze site content to determine usage of relavant keywords and phrases. This includes visible text as well at titles, META tags, and "alt" attributes.
4. Examine site navigation
5. Determine the existence of robots.txt and sitemap and examine those for effectivenes.
6. Make recommendations for changes needed for the site and each individual page.

14. If the company whose site you've been workind for has decided to move all of its content to a new domain, what steps would you take?
A. I would update the old site with permanent redirects to to new page for every page. Then I would attempt to remove old content from the major search engines to avoid duplicate content issues.

15. Rate from 1 to 10, tell me the most important "on page" elements
A) 1. issue is visible text being relevant to expected search terms.
2. would then be page titles
3. is navigation and "alt" attributes for navigation items and link text.
4. would be "alt" attributes for images and other media presented on pages.

16. What do you think about link buying?
A. I discourage the practice for the most part. There are more effective means of paid marketing. One exception would be purchasing listings in highly reputable directories such as Yahoo directory.

17. What is Latent Semantic Analysis (LSI Indexing)?
A. LSI indexing ries to overcome the limitations of "literal" search term matching . For example, if someone is searching for "hiking in Norhter Nevada" a literal search would only match the words used without taking into account words such as "hike", "hiked". LSI can give more relevant results because it does take word usage and context into account determining what a page is "about" rather than a strict reliance on literal wording.

18. What is Phrase Based Indexing and Retrieval and what roles does it play?
A. In regards to search results, it is a method that search engines such as google use to determine relevance of a page based on phrases acutally used in a document. For example, if you have a page instructing people on wildlife photography, the search engine would reasonably expect to see terms and phrases such as "selecting a camera", "appraoching wildlife", and "low light photo conditions". Related phrases will add to the relevance of a page where unrelated phrases will reduce the relevance of a page. This is one technique that Google is using to weed out "spam" sites.

19. What is the difference between SEO and SEM?
A. Seo is search engine optimization and is the process you use in getting your pages to place well on search results. SEM is search engine marketing and involves purchasing advertising space on search result pages. Sponsored listings are SEM. Both are related though! When using Google Adwords, the better you optimize your pages for search, the less you will be paying for your selected keywords in the PPC campaign and the better placment your ads will get.

20. What kind of strategies do you normally implement for backlinks?
A. I check the competitors backlinks to find hightly relevant sites and request a link from them. If reciprocal linking is required, I may be able to place a lik back to them in a relevant portion of a page on the site but if not, I will state so and may not gain that link. Another method I use is to submit press releases to relevant media.
21. What role does social media play in an SEO strategy?
A. Social media such as social networking sites and news sites can provide for viral marketing. Viral marketing has proven to be powerful if the content of a site is appealing.

22. What things wouldn't you to do increase rankings because the risk of penalty is too high?
A. I would avoid any site with the appearance of a link farm. I would also avoid any "spam" practice such as unsolicited email campaigns, certain affiliate advertising sites, sites that re-direct visitors to your site, and anything resembling the practices of Zango.

23. Why might you want to use nofollow on an internal link?
A. Many sites have shoping carts and member login or logout links. This type of link is simply an administrative function and does nothig to contribute to site content. The search engine does not need to index those pages.

24. Are you familiar with web analytics and what packages are your familiar with?
A. Yes I am and the tool I use most frequently is Google's webmaster tools. I also use the available Yahoo hosting tools for my own sites. Knowing what search terms your visitors are actually using to find your site as well as where those visitors are coming from will help refine SEO efforts. The amount of time each visitor spends on your site will help in determining if content changes are needed.

25. From an analytics perspective, what is different between a user from organic search results vs. a type-in user?
A. A user coming into your site from an organic search usually has never visited your site before or is performing a general search for a specific product or topic. These visitors are trying to find the site that most suits thier needs. A "type-in" user is specifally interested in your website. They may have found your URL in print advertising or from a friend. Often, these users are familiar with what you are offering and are coming back to your site as a repeat visitor.

26. How do you evaluate whether an SEO campaign is working?
A. The main indicator is to perform a search on all major search engines using the keywords/ keyphrases I am optimizing for. An analysis of those results will help to determine if optimization has gained in the results or lost ground. This analysis should be done over time as each search engine will update and index on a varying schedule. Another aspect is to use website statistics to determine where traffic is originating.

27. What does competitive analysis mean to you and what techniques do you use?
A. Competitive analysis means taking a close look at websites that rank highly in search results and comparing those sites to the one you are optimizing. They have employed methods that are working and are a valuable source for ideas.

28. If you've done 6 months of SEO for a site and yet there haven't been any improvements, how would you go about diagnosing the problem?
A. I might approach the problem as if it were an entirely new project. Again taking a look at the keywords and phrases that I am attempting to optimize for and again taking a close inspection of top ranking competition. If the site is indexed and does show up in the irst 10 pages of a search but on in the top three, I would look into modification of major areas such as page titles, on page text, and page descriptions. If the site is not yet indexed or has been dropped from an index, there are major problems and the site may require a total re-work and re-submission.

29. How many target keywords should a site have?
A. I advise not more than three or four well related keyword phrases. This allows for more effective optimization.

30. You hear a rumor that Google is weighting the HTML LAYER tag very heavily in ranking the relevance of its results - how does this affect your work?
A. It doesn't unless the rumor proves to be fact. Yes, I check on the rumor but as with all rumors, it can have detrimental effects if you "jump on the band wagon" and it proves to be just a rumor with no basis in fact.

31.Why does Google rank Wikipedia for so many topics?
A. Wikipedia is an established authority! As such, it is referenced by huge numbers of other documents with relevant text associated with links back to Wikipedia.

32. salary and location were not an issue, who would you work for?
A. Myself and only myself if those conditions existed.

Landing Pages

Landing Pages: It’s impossible to do a good job of optimizing your homepage for every possible term people might use to find your site. Think of it as a town fair full of criers who are all yelling their own messages: the end result is a din of roughly equal volume in which nothing stands out. Plan instead to add a page to your site for each search term, heavily optimized for that term using all the tips below, so that page becomes the top organic search result for the term and therefore the page that visitors land on when coming to your site. It’s important to make sure that these pages aren’t islands (i.e.: not linked from any of the site’s main content), because otherwise web crawlers may not find and index them.

Strategies to Build a Huge Following

Here is a list which, if implemented properly, can get you regular targeted followers. Many of things sited in this checklist you may be doing already; others you meant to do and forgot about; still others you may have never heard of. Here are a few tips for getting a huge website/ blog following.

Page Title Tags. Perhaps the most important tag on a web site, as far as search engine rankings go, is the < Title > tag. The title tag is what the user will see at the top of the browser window, as well as in the search results as the linked title to your Web page. Title tags help search engines determine your web page's relevancy for certain keyword phrases. Making a good title tag is pretty simple by the end of this how-to, you'll have a new meta tag optimization. The description should be kept to 70 characters or less, describing the content of the particular webpage, using the main keywords and keyphrases on that page. Don't include keywords that don't appear on the webpage.

Page Description: The maximum number of characters in the page description should be about 150. Place the Description META Tag at the top of the webpage, between the tags, in this format:

Optimize Your Site! The most important part to get huge following for your site is to get your site search engine optimized. The traffic which comes from search engines is phenomenal; it gives a good conversion rate in addition to advertising of your site.

Include Descriptive Keywords in the ALT Attribute of Image Tags. This helps your site be more accessible to site-impaired visitors and gives additional clues to the search engines. The ALT attributes help a great deal to get your images ranked higher for image search. For those that have no idea how to write an Alt Tag into your image – it will usually look something like this

“these

A word of caution – don’t stuff your Alt Tags full of keywords – especially ones that don’t relate to the rest of your page as they run the risk of being seen as spam.

Use Keywords in Hyperlinks. Keywords in hyperlink boost search engine rankings. Search engines often attribute more weight to hyperlinks in your webpages, so hyperlink your important keywords and keyphrases.

Create a Sitemap. When you create your Sitemap you are actually creating a XML document created by crawlers goint through every single page on your site. This tells search engine crawlers what pages to take notice of and which ones change. You can use a free tools, XML-Sitemaps.com to create XML sitemaps that are used by the major search engines to index your webpages accurately.

Promote Your Video, Images, and Audio Content. Most search engines display webpage content, as well as relevant listings for images, videos, local businesses, and audio clips. Therefore, consider creating such content appropriate to your business and then optimizing it so it can be ranked high enough to help you.

Use Keywords in Heading Tags. Search engines consider keywords that appear in the page headline and sub heads to be important to the page, so make sure your desired keywords and phrases appear in one or two header tags. More weight is given to keywords that appear within H1 and H2 tags.

Targeted Keywords per Page. It’s best keep the number of keywords or phrases at 10 keyword per page. Build several webpages on your site, each of which is focused on targeted keywords or key phrases for which you would like a high ranking.

This kind of SEO can be time-consuming, painstaking work that takes a lot of specialized knowledge. For this reason, many small and large businesses outsource search engine optimization. If you'll explain your needs to me on my online form, I can suggest what your website requirements are and how much they will cost.

We have just begun to give you a jist of ways to promote your site, these will get you started. To effectively market your site come back to read up on linking stratergies for a huge following and social media stratergies for a huge following

Best Tips for On an Off Page Optimization

There is no point in having a website that no one knows about or visits. If you wish to pull out your website from the depths of obscurity, you should drum up some publicity for it and bait the search engine bots the right way. When you form a plan for your SEO campaign, you should give due weightage to both on and off-page optimization to make the best of both the worlds.

While on-page optimization has its focus on using unique and relevant content, targeting the right keywords, modifying their frequency in the Title, URL, Headings, text of the web page and Hypertext Links, off-page optimization strategies are done off the web pages to help the site get featured on search results for relevant search terms. In case all this seems like a Herculean task, here are 20 steps that will offer help for your on-page and off-page optimization endeavor.

On-page optimization

Content (keywords, meta information, to increase searches) - Approximately 25% of visits are based on content.

Your Title tag and Meta Descriptions should have the proper keyword density.
Don’t go for a short cut by copy pasting the same Meta Descriptions for each web page. Rather, make them relevant and unique for each page. For example, the description for your Home page should definitely differ from what you use for the Services page.
Use keywords in the Alt tags for your images.
Vary the anchor text while interlinking your web pages. Don’t use the same text everywhere in order to save effort.
Place a site map to help your visitors and the search engine bots navigate and crawl the site easily.
Get W3C Validation to ensure that your site works well with all kind of browsers.
Check your links and remove the ones that are broken.
Do not load every web page with all your selected keywords. Rather, make a list of the ones that are relevant for each page and use them accordingly.
Have a robot.txt file with proper instructions so that only the pages that you want are crawled by the search engine bots.
Use static links for your important web pages.

Off-page optimization

Drive traffic to site through linking - Approximately 75% of visits are based on links.

Submit your site to the relevant categories of high ranked directories.
Write unique articles and submit them to various article directories, using the author resource box to link bank to your website.
Create your own blog and upload regular posts answering common problems or sharing your expertise on a relevant niche in order to bring traffic to your site.
Find relevant blog posts by others and post comments, using your website link in the proper place to get backlinks. It pays to select do-follow blogs for this purpose as backlinks from no-follow blogs aren’t considered for ranking of web pages by various search engine robots.
Become a member of some popular forums dealing with your niche and build a fan following over there, so that people from the forums are enticed to pay a visit to your website.
Use social networking sites to participate in relevant discussions and build your credibility as well as brand recognition via interaction with people from far and wide.
Social bookmaking is another way of creating a commendable online presence.
You can submit press releases (free or paid) to various online sites, which in turn can provide you with precious backlinks and let the word out about your offerings.
You can opt for link exchange with highly ranked and relevant websites.
Whether it’s one way, two way, three way or multiway linking, make sure that you provide the correct anchor text to sites linking back to you so that you reap the most from such backlinks.

Though there are many other SEO tactics to help your website page rank climb up, the aforesaid ones are some of the basic steps that you can begin with. So, here’s wishing you good luck with your SEO campaign!

Write Unique Content

There are number of tools and software available, like Copyscape which will permit you to do search and will help you in avoiding posting blog post which is similar to those that has been written already by others.

This way you will be able to write on your site without plagiarizing of others content. Many SEO professionals would be able to assist you further for managing and organizing the content of your blogs offsite and onsite.

Facebook Promotion 101: How to Develop a Like Campaign

Contrary to what many people think, Facebook likes don’t come with the territory. Yes it’s easy to create a page and get a few likes, but is usually stops there for lesser known companies. Getting your first 1000 or even 500 likes is definitely the hardest. It takes time and patience to boost your exposure and reach on Facebook. So let’s take a look at the more important steps you’ll need to take in order to develop and carry out a successful “like” campaign.

Tag Your Page

Using the Facebook tagging system is a great way to promote your page and get more visitors and likes. You can do this by posting a status message on your personal Facebook profile and mentioning your Facebook page. Use your creativity to come up with a clever way to get people to click through to your page and “like” it. Maybe you have a special promotion going on or you have an interesting link that you’ve posted – anything to peak the interest of your Facebook friends.

Suggest to Friends

Every page has a handy link in the sidebar called “Suggest to Friends” which allows you to do just that. It’s a great way to recommend your page to your friends, who are sure to like it just because they’re you’re friends and want to support. Just don’t abuse this feature because many people are sure to get annoyed if you’re constantly bugging them about it.

Contests, Giveaways, Promotions

You can never go wrong with a contest or giveaway; not too many people will turn down free prizes. The best way to do this is to require users to like your page before being able to see any information about the promotion. This is easy since you can create a new tab dedicated to the contest or giveaway and then make it viewable fans only. Of course you’ll want to make sure that you’re giving away something that is valuable and worth the “like.”

A great tool for creating and managing Facebook promotions is wildfire. With all of their integrated tools, features and statistics you’re sure to increase your Facebook page fans.

Connect to Twitter

Twitter’s popularity does not seem to be slowing down at all. So why not take advantage of one of the top social sites on the Web? You can do that by linking your page twitter and converting followers to fans. Upon setting this up, all of your Facebook page posts will be sent to your Twitter profile along with a link. Hopefully you’ve already built up a decent following on Twitter and continuously working on building your brand there.

Use a Like Box

Facebook social plugins, namely the Like box, are a very effective way of getting more likes for your page. You can customize it as you like and then add it to your website or blog. Visitors to your site can then “like” your page without even having to go to Facebook. It can also display recent posts from your page and other fans. If you have a site with high traffic, you really should not be without this.

Use Facebook as Your Page

Many people are not too familiar with this feature, but you can actually use Facebook as your page instead of as your personal profile. This allows you to comment on and “like” content as your own brand and really helps to extend your reach and peak the interest of others. Just remember that you’re representing your company and all of your actions will show up on your fan page. You’ll want to be careful of what you say and “like,” yet use your creativity to get new fans.

Facebook Ads

Running an add on Facebook is smart, easy and effective. You can target users by location, age and interest. What you put in your ad is important; you’ll need a catchy image and text to grab people’s attention. A “like” button can be displayed below your ad, which makes it quick for users to become a fan. Often times you can even find advertising coupons for Facebook floating around the Web. This is as a great way to test the waters before getting your feet wet.

One of the best things about Facebook ads is being able to target the friends of those users who have already liked your page. They’ll see your ad and the fact that a name they’re familiar with has already liked it is sure to peak their interest.

Along with all of these tips, also make sure you’re utilizing your social media profiles and bookmarking sites. You’ll want to share the link to your page anywhere you can and bookmark it for others to find (ie. LinkedIn, Google Buzz, Delicious, Reddit). Make sure you’re using appropriate tags and a catchy description for SEO purposes. You never know where people will find out about your page, but the most important part is that they do find out about it.

Also remember that these tips are not a one-time thing. You’ll have to keep up with promoting your Facebook page on a regular basis until you reach your desired goal. Good luck.

6 SEO Strategies That Can Generate Highly Targeted Traffic

Developing SEO strategies that can drive an immense amount of traffic to your site within a month is not an easy task, especially if you want your site’s visitors to convert into profits. Generating highly targeted traffic or visitors that have the intent of availing the services or products that you are offering is the best way to really earn from your website.

The good news is that there are many ways that you can do to hasten the process of having your site noticed by people who are in need of the information, services or products that you provide. Here are some of the ways that you can do to generate specifically targeted online visitors in under a month.

1. Target easy to rank long-tail keywords through blog posts

If your site has no blog section yet, then you better start including one. Blogs can benefit your business in so many ways, and consistently driving traffic to your site is one of them. Using long-tail keywords in your blog posts’ titles (eg. How to learn SEO), can extremely help your site’s performance in terms of traffic generation, seeing as this strategy can very much take your blog posts on top of SERPs without further improving them through off-page optimization or link building.

Blog posts can naturally rank on their own basing on its topical relevance as seen by search engines, and taking advantage of low competition keywords will make your pages rank on the top page of SERPs in no time, which means more organic traffic to your site.

2. Targeting 3 -5 keywords for each page on your site

Creating your pages or blog posts with the intent of ranking for more than 2 keywords is always a smart move, since it will allow your site to draw more relevant traffic along the process. Say, if your site has 15 blog posts or pages on its first month, and each page are targeting 3 different keywords. Doing the math will give you a result of 45 keywords giving you constant traffic within a month.

Doing this strategy is very simple, wherein you just have to use or combine your targeted keywords on your page or post’s title, URL and on the body copy (eg. Top 10 advanced on-page SEO strategies). With the given example of a post title you are able to target 7 keywords that you can use within the body of the content, including:

* Advanced on-page SEO strategies
* On-page SEO strategies
* On-page SEO
* Advanced SEO
* Advanced SEO strategies
* Advanced on-page SEO
* On-page optimization strategies
* On-page SEO techniques

3. Dofollow blog commenting

Commenting on blogs with the same theme as your site – particularly blogs that allow dofollow attributed links on their comment section – is one of the most effective ways to promoting your site as well as in improving your keywords’ search rankings. This technique has a lot of advantages and can certainly take your campaign a long way, given that this method allows you to acquire relevant backlinks and can possibly build relationships with other bloggers related to your niche.

Networking with other bloggers is extremely beneficial, especially with higher value link placements such as special mentions, in-content links (used as a resource), guest blogging opportunities and sponsored reviews. Anyway, leaving comments on blogs with the use of your keywords as anchor texts can help improve its search rankings in just weeks, particularly if the links that you’ve built are from topically relevant pages and are dofollow attributed.

4. Guest blog posting

Guest blogging has been known to be a link building method that’s really advantageous in terms of driving relevant traffic, acquiring high quality links, passing through Pagerank and in improving SERP rankings. It’s best to choose blogs that are relevant to your site, have high page ranks and receives a lot of traffic on their site (can be based through Alexa traffic rank).

In choosing the topic to write for guest postings, writing topics that are strictly about the keywords you are aiming at is the most effective way to get most out of this technique, since the link that you’ll be able to build through your author bio will have higher scores basing on its relevance as well as in targeting the audience that will be able to read it.

5. Forum participation

Forum posting is a good start for any campaign, especially if you choose to participate on high PR and high traffic forum sites. The best way to benefit from this method is to establish an expert or knowledgeable image through this channel, and not just focusing on building links through your signature.

Establishing yourself through forum sites and being genuinely active in participating with the community can bring you targeted visitors and interested clients within a month, so spending 30 minutes a day on 1 or 2 authority forums around your site’s industry is certainly worth it.

6. Article submission and converting your articles

This link building method has proven its worth over the past decade and is still known to be one of the most effective ways in generating consistent traffic as well as highly relevant links that can boost your search rankings. The best thing about article marketing is that it’s capable of building solid links as it gets syndicated naturally, particularly if you have written a solid and informative article. Submitting an exceptionally written article to several highly trusted article directories (such as Ezinearticles, Articlesbase, Goarticles,Amazines, and many more) can enhance its chances of getting scraped or used by other sites that are seeking for quality content to be posted, which gives you more extra links and of course, more traffic.

But there’s more to this method than just the traditional article marketing, you can as well convert your articles to other formats for more exposure and external links pointing to your site. Converting your articles to PDF, podcasts, slide/powerpoint presentation and videos, and then submitting them to their respective directories can extremely amplify your site’s traffic in a short period of time, given that these formats have higher chances of ranking high on search engine result pages.

Robots.txt file and robots meta tags

In order to get a good ranking on different search engines you need to be aware to the importance of the robots.txt file. A lot of sites do not have the robots.txt file. This file regulates which parts of your site are closed for spiders and other search bots to visit. This file is useful to avoid unwanted search engine spiders like email searchers, image retrievers, etc. Robots.txt is also useful if you want to avoid access for some confidential information or some confidential files.

Robots.txt format and structure

Robots.txt file is a specific file that is should be located in the website root directory on the Web server. Robots.txt file restricts different Web Spiders (robots) from visiting of undesirable places on the website.

It tells them where on the site space they have permission to search and where do not. Actually a Robots.txt defines regulation for search engine robots where they have an access and where not. Indeed robots are not obligated to respect robots.txt files, but most of them comply with the regulations are defined in robots.txt. The robots.txt file should be written in special format. The robots.txt file consists of number of records. Each record combined from two fields: a "User-agent" field and one or more "Disallow:" fields. The format may be determined as: ":" If the robots.txt file is empty it the equal that it is not present at all. The robots.txt file should be created in Unix like editors with the line ender mode. (Windows editors normally end a line in a text file with a "/r" and "/n" character, while Unix uses an "/n" only, and Macs use a "/r" only.) Most Windows text editors have a Unix mode. When you transfer a file using ASCII transfer mode on FTP client programs it does a "translation" for the Unix mode.

The User-agent field describes the robot. Most popular search engines have special names for their robots. You can find all search engines user agent names in your logs by searching for requests to robots.txt.
For example :
User-agent: googlebot
If you want to specify all robots use the symbol "*" :
User-agent: *

The "Disallow" part of a record consists of directive lines. The robots.txt files format requires that at least one disallow line should be related for each User-agent field. These lines specify describe directories and files that should be not visited by the bot. For example, the following "Disallow" line restricts robots to download images directory: Disallow: /images/ And the following line instructs the robot to avoid visit the terms.html file: Disallow: terms.html. Which would block spiders from your cgi-bin directory. If you the Disallow line has not any symbol, it means that all files of your sitemay be downloaded.

The "robots" meta tags

An alternative to "robots.txt" is to use the robots meta tags in order to restrict robots access to some pages on your website.

Here's a list of the values you can specify within the "contents" attribute of these tags:

Value	Description
(no)index	Affects on whether robot should index this page or not. Possible values: "noindex" or "index"
(no)follow	Affects on whether robot should follow links on this page and crawl them or not. Possible values: "nofollow" and "follow."

Unfortunately not all search engines can read meta tags. So the robots meta tags may be ignored. Therefore the preferable way to inform search engines about restrictions of some file visiting is to use a robots.txt file

10 SEO Tips

It is not hard to be barking up the wrong tree when it comes to getting search engine traffic because there is so much out of date information being circulated.

That is why it is always best to also learn many other traffic generation methods like viral marketing for example.

Not only is there out of date or invalid SEO advice getting around, there is also information which if acted upon, can result in your pages being banned.

The SEO teps below should assist the reader in forming a basic understanding of how to create human friendly web pages which are easily understood by the most popular search engines.

Know this. There are thousands of search engines but only two of them will bring you most of the traffic. They are google and yahoo. Another search engine that brings me a little traffic is msn but I do not focus too much on tactics for that engine.

Focus your attention on the engines that will bring you the most visitors first and work your way down.

Basic SEO

1. Insert keywords within the title tag so that search engine robots will know what your page is about. The title tag is located right at the top of your document within the head tags. Inserting a keyword or key phrase will greatly improve your chances of bringing targeted traffic to your site.

Make sure that the title tag contains text which a human can relate to. The text within the title tag is what shows up in a search result. Treat it like a headline.

2. Use the same keywords as anchor text to link to the page from different pages on your site. This is especially useful if your site contains many pages. The more keywords that link to a specific page the better.

3. Make sure that the text within the title tag is also within the body of the page. It is unwise to have keywords in the title tag which are not contained within the body of the page.

Adding the exact same text for your h1 tag will tell the reader who clicks on your page from a search engine result that they have clicked on the correct link and have arrived at the page where they intended to visit. Robots like this too because now there is a relation between the title of your page and the headline.

Also, sprinkle your keywords throughout your article. The most important keywords can be bolded or colored in red. A good place to do this is once or twice in the body at the top of your article and in the sub-headings.

4. Do not use the exact same title tag on every page on your website. Search engine robots might determine that all your pages are the same if all your title tags are the same. If this happens, your pages might not get indexed.

I always use the headline of my pages as the title tag to help the robots know exactly what my page is about. A good place to insert the headline is within the h1 tag. So the headline is the same as the title tag text.

5. Do not spam the description or keyword meta tag by stuffing meaningless keywords or even spend too much time on this tag. SEO pros all agree that these tags are not as important today as they once were. I just place my headline once within the keywords and description tags.

6. Do not link to link-farms or other search engine unfriendly neighborhood .

7. Do not use doorway pages. Doorway pages are designed for robots only, not humans. Search engines like to index human friendly pages which contain content which is relevant to the search.

8. Title tags for text links. Insert the title tag within the HTML of your text link to add weight to the link and the page where the link resides. This is like the alt tag for images.

My site contains navigation menus on the left and right of the page. The menu consists of links not images. When you hover over the link with your mouse, the title of the link appears. View the source of this page to see how to add this tag to your links.

9. Describe your images with the use of the alt tag. This will help search engines that index images to find your pages and will also help readers who use text only web browsers.

10. Submit to the search engines yourself. Do not use submission service or submission software. Doing so could get your site penalized or even banned.

Here is the submission page for google: http://www.google.com/addurl.html

Submit only once. There is no need to submit every two weeks. There is no need to submit more than one page. Robots follow links. If your site has a nice link trail, your entire site will get indexed.

My site has a nice human friendly link trail which robots follow easily. All my pages get indexed without ever submitting more than the main index page once.

Tips on Coping with Google Panda and How to Get Traffic with Non-Google Techniques

Google Panda is perhaps the most significant algorithm update to ever hit the Internet, yet. It's been a month since Google rolled out the new algorithm and it's still one of the hottest topics in the SEO world. This isn't surprising, though, because the update practically reshaped the search landscape.

According to Google, the new algorithm is intended to improve search quality - Panda is aimed at eradicating duplicated content, low-quality articles and pages with worthless information.

Millions of pages in just about every topic area took a dramatic drop down the search results. Content farms are the main target, but in the process of filtering out content farms, several high quality sites were also affected. To add insult to injury, many of the high quality affected sites do their own SEO and are clueless as to how to fix the damage.

The website Mahalo.com, a massive information resource, has been practically squeezed out of Google's organic search rankings. As a result, Mahalo reported a 10% employee reduction.

While a massive number of websites have been scurrying to get their lost rankings back, some have used Google Panda to their advantage. Some unaffected sites announce traffic increase of about 10% ever since Panda's release.

All this commotion over Google Panda and its impact over search results bring us back to one of the most basic ingredient of online marketing: high quality, compelling and relevant content.

If your Google search positioning suddenly dropped like a stone, don't hit the panic button just yet. There are ways to redeem your website and get back in the game.

Check if Panda is the culprit.

Panda was rolled out on February 24th, so if your rankings plummeted before or much later, the reason could be something else. Check your analytics before you blame the new algorithm.

Countries outside the United States haven't experienced Panda yet. Start filtering out US-based visits to get to the bottom of the dip in rankings.
Look at each of your site's pages.

Google Panda looks at individual pages for low-value, scraped or shallow content. Therefore, you can easily find out where to start the site revamp by looking at pages that have performed terribly since the algorithm change.
Create original, interesting and deep content.

It only makes sense to re-evaluate your site's content and do a content overhaul. The basic SEO rules are still the same. Create great content – the kind you'd like to read online. Authoritative, useful and unique content always wins. If you think content that simply rotates around keywords work, you couldn't be more wrong because that is exactly what Google Panda wants to eliminate. Do what's necessary to have content that's valuable to readers.
Remember, Google Search is not the ONLY source of traffic

Google has somehow bent the Internet and everything in it to its will. This brings us to one vital peace of advice: don't depend solely on a third party business model, e.g. Google. Otherwise, you're bound to fail at one point or another.

Get a clue from what Google continually aims for: making its users happy, not content makers or website owners.

Also, Google always points out the need to establish a brand, not a website. This is why the search engine tends to support established brands

Using blogs to gain better rankings

Believe it or not Google top 10 rankings are not hard to achieve, its a fact that only 10 organic results will show on the first page, in this article i will show you how creating blog sites will help you in gaining them sought after results.

Firstly I must mention that no SEO strategy will be complete if you rely on one source of backlink means only – so make sure you vary your backlinking methods and stay away from bad neighbourhoods. The backlinkns article is a recommended read for anyone looking to achieve long term search engine rankings.

Why are Blogs important in SEO ?

Blogs can be hosted on your own private server or you can use sites that allow you to create free blogs which will be hosted on the blog site server – for example blog.co.uk and wordpres.com. In this article when i refer to blog sites then i am referring to the many blog sites which allow you to create free hosted blogs.

These blog sites are used by millions of users all around the world – they get updated very frequently and the sites have earned much authority. You will usually find these blog sites with page rank 5+ –

These blog sites allow you to create your own blog – add your own posts with your backlinks – There are a number of benefits to this – firstly your backlinks that you add to your blog will become relevant due to the subject on which you have blogged about – secondly the page rank and authority of the sites domain holds value which will be filtered down to your blog – This is very valuable and has much affect – Not forgetting the amount of targeted traffic you can get through the blog internal searches. Finally the blog itself has a good chance to rank in the search engines and send targeted traffic.

The key to using these blog sites is to create a number of blogs – not only from one provider but from many – this will ensure c class ip diversity and unique backlinks. I would also suggest you bookmark your blog posts and help them rank – Many of the blogs we create here at big seo techniques also increase in page rank when there is an update – im sure you all know how important Page rank backlinks are when it comes to search engine optimisation, when these blogs increase in page rank then they hold your links which of course are filtered down to your site – adding more value and extra authority.

Using blogs alone can get you the sought after results you are looking for depending on your competition however we would always advise a variety of backlink sources to ensure you website will still rank high should these blogs be devalued by the search engines looking forward.

Learn seo within 2 hours

Its simple to learn a seo but practice makes you as a professional seo person.Why you need to spend more money on seo just you can do it own for your sites.

Many clients and prospects ask SEO professionals to prioritize their organic optimization strategies. What's the most important component of an SEO campaign? Is it keyword selection and placement? Link development is certainly essential. But where does it fall in the list of SEO priorities?

Every SEO expert will give you a different answer.

The Foundation of Successful SEO

The foundation of a successful SEO program consists of the following building blocks:

Keyword-rich text. The majority of a site's pages should contain the words and phrases the target audience types into search queries. Pages should appear somewhat focused on these important keyword phrases, and the phrases should be featured prominently on the page. Otherwise, the page won't convert well or receive consistent search engine traffic over time. Keyword research and copywriting for individual HTML tags are a part of this building block.
Information/site architecture and page layout. Search engines and end users must be given easy access to keyword-rich content. How text, graphic images, and multimedia files are arranged on a page tells search engines and site visitors which content the site owner believes is most important. URL structure and technical architecture figure into that as well.
Link development. Commonly referred to as link popularity, this is the number and quality of objective, third-party links pointing to a URL or Web site. Of course, not all links pointing to a site are objective, third-party links, but those types of links aren't always the most credible.

For all the new technology that's emerged in the past 10 years, these building blocks still form a solid foundation, even with video, audio, and other multimedia search optimization. What's fascinating, however, is the different SEO opinions on which is the most important block.

Link development its very important in an seo

Why SEO is needed for business websites?

Internet marketing and search engine optimization is the next important thing to concentrate upon after a website gets developed and goes online. It is quite obvious today to think of search engine optimization that drives potential traffic to your website thereby creating its online presence.

It is believed that there are 1400 million websites on the World Wide Web and these sites are categorized into four parts; corporate sites, biographical sites, blogs and lastly theme based professional website for small scale business. You don't need SEO for first three kinds of websites as corporate websites, biographical sites and blogs are popular by their own nature for their own customer segment and hence they don't need to popularize their keywords into several search engines.

Thus it is theme based professional websites for small scale businesses that most need SEO. The basic idea is to use popular keywords from several search engines and therefore to advertise the site among prospective customers at a very low cost. Therefore, high ranking SERP (Search Engine Result Pages) is obtained from well known search engines by using proficient organic white hat SEO services at a reduced expenditure to the customer. Search Engine Optimisation and Search Engine Marketing is the best way to publish your product or services not only in local market place but also in the global arena in a mainly inexpensive and reliable way.

In a recent Survey, it was found that about 46% of unique visitors come through Google, 22% come through Yahoo and 18% through MSN. Now it can be easily calculated that 86% of unique visitors made their search through these three Search engines. These internet users go directly to these search engines immediately upon accessing the Internet to find what they are looking for. Therefore you cannot afford to be missed from their search engine rankings.
