What SEO Optimization Services Should Really Offer
icon1 pcgumban | icon2 Web Development | icon4 07 13th, 2010| icon3Comments Off

There is a lot of information related to seo services. Webmasters who have been around for long realize that they need these service providers if they ever hope to rank high in search results. In reality however, there is a chance that you might just end up with an SEO services company that just can’t give you what you need. What is it that you should really get from your service provider?

Company Offers

Companies that specialize in SEO offer similar services. Optimization packages often contain article creation, on site content generation, page optimization, link development, article distribution and press release submissions. Not all professional SEO services however dedicate the same amount of time and effort on each of the individual services that they provide. Depending on the company that you hire, they may have very specific theories on which services should be given more attention. It’s about time though that experts in the industry turn their focus towards researching keywords.

Keywords at Second Place

Various professional seo services stress that good content is king. If this is true then keywords must be its queen. The reason why good content is still king is that this is what search engine users want to find when they are looking for information, services or products. When they enter a website they are far more likely to make an exit even if it is on top of search engine results if it does not contain anything of value for them. Content however will get you nowhere without the right keywords.

Only the best SEO services put importance to how keywords work. People online use keywords on search engines to arrive at what they want. As long as your website and the links associated to it carry words that are similar to search terms, there is some guarantee that users and the robots that crawl and index content for search engines will find your site faster.In summary, well chosen keywords help lure visitors to your content.

Keyword Research

You probably don’t need SEO website optimization services to learn about keyword research. There are a number of free and paid keyword research tools that you can access online to help you find keywords that are applicable to your site. Keyword research however is never as simple as just cherry picking from a list.

The actual core of research requires a lot of time and effort. There is for instance a requirement for you to look into the search volume of each specific phrase. You may be able to get nice phrases that will not help you get traffic simply because no one uses them in search engines. On the opposite end of the spectrum, you may be able to get phrases that are highly searched but are not useful for you because other highly ranked websites are already using them. Settling for website SEO services is the surest way to handling keyword research correctly.

There are many companies that have attractive SEO optimization services. Before you get too caught up in a company’s bells and whistles though, you need to determine first if they put enough stress on researching keywords.

I have tested the Web 2 Mayhem Review System made by Jason Potash and Jason Katzenback and I fully confess that Web two mayhem actually delivers exactly as it claims.

For a year or 2 now, I have been carrying out web2.0 marketing with a bit of success before I attempted the Web 2 Mayhem Review System. I’ve been using Hubpages, Squidoo, Wetpaint and Weebly to plug my private products and affiliate sites with very good results.

I must say that Web2.0 truly and actually does work if you actually know how to benefit from these hot Web2.0 properties to catapult your internet site into top 10 ranking in top search engines i.e Google, Bing & Yahoo.
Here’s what I did before I used the Web 2 Mayhem Review System to automate my Web2.0 marketing…

1. Outsourced my article writing

2. Utilised the Human powered articles spinning service

3. Outsourced the posting of articles to various web2.0 sites such as Hubpages, Squidoo & Wetpaint

4. Outsourced book marking services for the promotion of my hubpages, Squidoo lenses ( this step is particularly powerful if you really want to see top ten ranking in Google within weeks).

Web2.0 usually ranks very well in search engine as major search engines really love these sites, but here’s the what most people don’t do, they DO NOT PROMOTE their web2.0 pages.

From my experience, this step is vital if you would like your Web2.0 pages to rank high and with luck, stay in top 10 ranking for the longest time possible. ( I even buy links from Linkvana to link to all my web2.0 pages ).

Another important thing that separates those making tons of money with Web2.0 properties and those that make little money is their approach in using these hot properties.

if you would like to make real good money in very little time without or with internet sites, a great little secret tip I can provide you with now is to build your web 2.0 pages solely on branded products only thus only submitting product review articles to these superb web2.0 sites.

Target your keywords to brand related keywords such as “Brand A review”, “Brand A scam”, “Buy Brand A” and so on…

These keywords are highly targeted and your chance of making a sale on these keywords are HUGE!

If you do this right, I can ensure that you income will soar inside weeks especially you follow step four above.

I was disinclined to use Web two Mayhem initially, after many calls from my chum, Jodie, who was a beta tester on Web 2 madness with great success, I eventually signed on.

i did my first test with Web 2 chaos with one of my Hubpages with major competition and this particular Hubpage rank twenty-three before I used Web two madness.

I must explain what the Web 2 Mayhem Review System basically does.

Web 2 mayhem uses the latest in Web 2.0, Social bookmarking, RSS Feed services, software submission services, article directories, podcasting and Video submission services to take articles you create yourself and spun them using a impressive content spinner software, into hundreds, or maybe even thousands of fresh new articles which you can then submit them to the services mentioned above for a massive inflow of backlinks and net traffic. Web 2 madness follows on from software like SEnuke, but takes it to a complete other dimension with a 20 step training course, active forum and heaps of useful tools and info to guarantee all your efforts are valuable and contributing to your success.

After using Web 2 mayhem, and with the creation of 10 accounts for bookmarking ( the software can create this accounts for you instantly ), I was ready to catapult this Hubpage to five in Google inside eight days of bookmarking with 10 accounts.

And the best things is, with human powered content spinning services, I was able to submit these spin articles to all web2.0 sites with a touch of a button, and inside another two weeks, my other web2.0 pages ( Squidoo lenses, Wetpaint ) rank8 & 10 in Google for a similar keyword.

The power of Web 2 Mayhem Review System is so great that it enable you to submit spinned articles to all web2.0 sites and give you the chances to dominate search site by having multiple listing on the first page of Google, Yahoo & MSN, for any keywords you would like.

The Web 2 Mayhem Review System makes web2.0 selling 10 times more powerful and efficient. If you so desired, you might even hire or outsource somebody to do the submissions of articles with Web 2 mayhem for you, but its also fun and straightforward to do it yourself.

Remember, Web 2 Mayhem Review System also enables you to submit your video to various video sites podcasts to podcast directories, PAD software submissions to software submission sites and it also encourages you in very easily followed, step by step manuals, precisely how to submit your articles to directories and cleverly link back to your web2.0 properties at the same time, increasing your all round backlinking prospects.

The Web 2 Mayhem Review System really is too complex and powerful to sum up in a short review. I encourage you to take a trial spin and check out the results for yourself. I’m sure you’ll be utterly amazed at its power and complexities.

While articles are important, they are not the only way that surfers find information from you. It’s important to remember that visitors are looking for new, fresh and relevant content, regardless of its form of presentation. Use video media to attract more website traffic.

You don’t need to worry, we’re not talking about feature-length films. You can create your own video using computer software found on your laptop and desktop. If you have a USB connection you can hook up a webcam, and be well on your way to becoming a video star!

Nobody is better placed to tell your own story as a business owner, than you. Stay front and centre in your videos so that listeners will know who you are and what you have to say. This is where you can showcase your ability.

To start off with, check out YouTube, and if you still need help, look up a virtual assistant. Many thousands of videos are contained within for visitors to the Internet to watch. As soon as life events occur, people are creating and uploading video footage to YouTube for mass viewing. It’s true to say that your videos might not produce the buzz and fan base that some footage of Brad Pitt might develop, but it can be very advantageous for your web presence.

Depending on the site you want to upload your video to, they have different guidelines, and if you’re having difficulty, talk to a virtual assistant. Be sure that you read all the fine print before making a video to upload. If you do not follow these parameters, your video probably will not be accepted.

Keep going! You can also upload video media to your website development directly. You can ignore constraints regarding length or anything else as you deploy the creations for the enjoyment of your visitors.

Create videos of you using your products and showing how they work. Pictures are good, but can be difficult to imagine. With how-to videos on your site, no one will have to worry about that.

If you love to teach, then concentrate on creating how-to videos. Show how you craft a piece of furniture, put together a podcast presentation or go about researching keywords.

Practice

Do several test runs. See how you look, how your voice sounds and what the best presentation for your video is. Your best response will be to a voice that is relaxed and conversational. Steer clear of any lengthy words if smaller ones would get the same meaning across. Remember that nobody wants to feel as if they are in a classroom, listening to a droning monotone or view a “Charlie Brown” style of teacher. Think of your audience as old friends who you may be talking to at the kitchen table or on the front porch.

Experiment with your footage. Editing software is great at helping you to remove mistakes and put together the best bits. Keep the camera steady, as you don’t want the audience to feel as if they are rocking away on a boat! You also don’t want the images to be too dark so that no one can make out what’s going on. It takes practice to get things just right, but it won’t take long. On the other side of things, don’t be so picky that you never publish the video anywhere.

Want to promote your website for free? Take a starring role in your own online videos!

Only 7 Website Factors Really Interest People
icon1 pcgumban | icon2 Web Development | icon4 07 10th, 2010| icon3Comments Off

In a prior article we explained why the key visitors to a web site are people and search engines. It doesn’t really matter which one we view as being more important, suffice to say both are important and both are essential for a web site to thrive and prosper.

In the earlier article, seven essential aspects of web site optimisation for the search engine visitor were outlined. Although we are examining web site optimisation as separate parts one part for search engines the other part for people, in practice both have to be considered at the same time.

This is because in practice the requirements for effective web site optimisation for the search engines often conflicts with the web site optimisation considerations for people visitors. This is a frequent dilemma that requires compromise in favour of one or the other.

In this article we take web site optimisation further to see how it can influence the behaviour and perceptions of people visiting a web site.

But before we get to that, have you undertaken any web site optimisation aimed at people ?

If so:
Do you know which of your web page optimisation measures produced results ?

I suspect like the majority of web site owners your answer would probably be NO for one or both of these questions. Being able to objectively evaluate your own website is also likely to be difficult, particularly if you were involved in the design.

What is of significant benefit is the experienced eye of another designer to uncover or confirm areas of the design that would benefit from improvements. If you would like an assessment carried out on your website then we offer a number of different FREE web page optimisation evaluations.

Determining what and how effective web page optimisation is, can best be achieved by tracking visitor actions combined with split-testing, or segmentation and targeting.

When carrying out an evaluation we recommend the focus be on the 7 key aspects that exert the most influence over human behaviour.

The 7 key behavioural influencers are summarized as follows:

Visual Appearance
The overall color scheme should be sympathetic to the theme of the site, with text of a size and color that makes it easy to read. Images, graphics and backgrounds should not be overly distracting, complement the rest of the page and impart an impression or additional information. Do not use images unless they contribute to your message.

Visitor Impression
The web page should clearly convey the impression you want to create or the main message you want to give the visitor all within 3 to 5 seconds of them landing on the page. Your web page must give people a quick and clear summary of what you are offering. If people can’t quickly grasp the essence of what you are offering they will not stick around.

Transparency and Offer Value
The information, product or service you are offering needs to be crystal clear to the visitor. If the visitor can not clearly determine what’s on offer they will go elsewhere. The value of your proposition or offer needs to be clear. The page must answer questions in the mind of the visitor such as, how does this benefit them, in what way is the offer of value to them and what makes your offer so special that they should buy from you.

Speed and Ease
The page should be clearly laid out in a single column avoiding two or three column layouts. Eye tracking studies have shown multiple column layouts cause visitors more distractions and detract from them following a clear defined path down the page. Other studies show that important information or perception creating images should be placed below the header, in the page center and in the top left corner of the main body of the page. Observing these guidelines will make a page quicker and easier for a visitor to determine what the page is about.

Web Page Navigation
Navigation of the page should be easy to use, links in the page should look like links – blue underlined and it should be clear what they are leading to. Use alt tags for images and title tags for text links as a further visual aid for visitors. These are requirements for good site accessibility and compliance with W3C web design standards.

Site Navigation
This often creates a conflict for web site optimisation as the site navigation preferred for people is frequently not the best for the search engines, since the two requirements are usually not the same. For common links to pages throughout the site we usually advise a top or side of page navigation menu that should have a consistent location and appearance throughout the site. The home page is usually the only exception. Large sites can benefit from a search box and all except sites with less than 10 pages, should have a site map as a further aid to visitor navigation.

The Offer Experience
If a site provides downloadable information, purchasable products or services, or sign-ups to obtain information, products or services, then the process by which these are obtained needs to be free of distractions, obstacles and barriers and as short as possible. The anxiety and friction caused by a site’s order and fulfilment process is a significant factor in lost sales and site abandonment.

Common failings are:

  • Unnecessary distractions on the fulfilment page
  • Customer reassurance builders not positioned within their eye path
  • Having too many steps and/or pages to the fulfilment process
  • Requiring information too early
  • Insufficient use of trust builders
  • Insufficient reassurance of the customer during the process
  • Inadequate or absent confidence builders

You should aim to have a fulfilment system with ideally no more than 3 stages.

Page Speed
With the advent of high-speed Internet, many web site designers have abandoned mainly text web page designs preferring instead graphical designs with flash images and movies. Modern web pages have become so bloated that even for visitors with a broadband connection they are slow to access with a normal browser.

The net result is for around 40% of web users with no broadband connection these sites are unavailable to them or take longer to download than most people are prepared to wait.

What makes the problem far worse is that many image laden web pages are not effectively optimized. This means the images and movies in the design are not optimized for quality while maintaining the smallest downloadable file size. We consistently find it possible to make savings of 50% and more, through proper graphical, image and video optimization.

Our web design and web site optimisation enables site operators to improve the functionality and profitability of their web sites. We also offer website optimization services to web site owners looking to increase search engine rankings, sales, or subscriber opt-ins.

Most of our website optimization services we supply with Guaranteed Results or You-Don’t-Pay. You only pay for results, No-Results, No-Pay.

We also offer free consultations and a range of FREE web site optimization services evaluations and web site reports. Visit us for a consultation or a FREE web site optimisation report on your web site.

When it comes to your business site there is nothing more rewarding than seeing success for all the time and effort you have put into it. Finding a trustworthy Internet Marketing Service that will help get you the results you want and need may become overwhelming. Not unlike finding the perfect babysitter for your first night away from your new baby! There are so many services out there to choose from, so how do you know which one is right for you? Here are some basic things to look for in a good Internet Marketing Service.

Guarantees

It’s a undeniable fact that clients absolutely love a money back guarantee on purchases. i know i do! Internet Marketing Services differ a little in the Sorts of guarantees they can offer. If you find a service that is offering a ‘Guaranteed 1 Ranking’ run, run away! Do to the fast changing algorithms of the search sites, it is not possible to ever guarantee any specific ranking in a search result. What you want to go looking for is a guarantee in the quantity of back links the Internet Marketing Service will give you. Be sure they are of top of the range and relate to your website in some way.

Keywords

If you are simply providing your selling service with a random keyword of your choice to market for you, you might want to reconsider. this is going to be extraordinarily exasperating unless you know exactly how to carry out good keyword research of your own. I recommend looking for a service that does the Keyword Research for you. Have them provide you with some advised Keyword phrases ( long tail keyphrases are best ) and then select the one you need to pursue. You will see Quicker traffic with way and will End up with more bang for your buck in the long run.

Reports

Reporting and tracking is vital to your online success. be sure the Internet Marketing Service you select is one which will report back to you. You’ll want them to track your number of back links, social bookmarks, search traffic, keyword saturation, etc . This data will help you work with the service in deciding if your chosen keyword is one you must keep going with, or bag ( some keywords just will not rank for one reason or another ). It Might also give you insight as to the direction you are going to want to take your selling in the future.

Traffic

Always remember your final goal, which is increased traffic. Your Google site rank means nothing if you have no traffic coming to your website. The right Internet Marketing Services will help you not only drive consistent and steady traffic to your internet site, but the traffic will also be targeted. This essentially means the visitors coming to your website are there because they need what you are supplying. You can imagine what positive impact this may and would have on your internet enterprise revenue.

Sources

Does your selling Service tell you where your back links and traffic is coming from? To see higher search engine rankings you want a enormous number of back links coming from a large range of sources. A good Internet Marketing Service shouldn’t put all of its eggs in one frail basket, as it were. Don’t simply accept links that all come from Social Bookmarks or Articles. Instead look as well for links from Directories, publicity releases, targeted Blogs, Online Videos, RSS Feeds, for example. Also be sure your service isn’t using any spamming techniques.

A huge number of people interested in taking control over their careers have discovered the opportunities presented by plenty of online business ideas. While the most common cases of Internet businesses include affiliate promotions, website creation building one way links, freelance writing, selling or promoting a product or a service, there are some more individual ones that can be carried on independently and based on personal knowledge, education and work experience. Thus, some people earn their fortune from writing e-books, know-hows and e-guides they afterwards promote online, others focus on a personal product or provide consultancy for a variety of problems and last but not least some people make a living from moderating forums.

The interest in online business ideas has got higher with the international financial crisis and the national economies in recession. With the perspective of thousands of jobs being reduced, it it goes without saying that people will focus on home-based opportunities that can save the entire family from the risk of working for corporations. Getting serious about the possible online business ideas you’ve felt tempted to try is the best advice that you can get. Some modifications have appeared on the Internet too with Google discarding more and more sites considered spammy.

In the light of this new policy put into practice by search engines, older sites are preferred to newer ones. Statistics actually point out that nine out of ten sites displayed on the first search engines pages are sites with older activities online. One can check the site history according to the record domain, and don’t be surprised if some of the sites are actually a few years old. Nevertheless, this doesn’t mean that the creation of new sites is faulty or disadvantageous, we are simply ringing an alarm bell that things may be changing with online business ideas too.

Although sometimes it is easier to see the bad parts, we can’t let such good news as the cost reduction for link building service pass unnoticed or little acclaimed. The creation of a web site requires web hosting and domain registration, well these will be available for much lower fees. Moreover, the tendency with new online business ideas is to create blogs rather than large sites since they are more specialized in content and thus to the liking of search engines.

If your eCommerce website development is going to be used to run a virtual store, your customers will need to be able to select the items they want as they continue to shop. They will need a virtual shopping cart for this purpose. In such an instance, it would be a good idea for you to learn about buying shopping cart software to enhance your online business.

What does shopping cart software entail? It is represented by the icon of a basket or shopping cart at the top of your product pages. This is a universal symbol that tells shoppers that they can set aside the services or products that they buy in one place, until they are ready to finish shopping and checkout.

It works in a very similar way to the shopping cart that you push in front of you as you walk around your local grocery store. You can place whatever you want into it, remove items you decide you don’t want and keep a running tally on the untaxed cost of the items before hitting the checkout.

You will need access to the appropriate software before you can add a shopping cart utility to your store. Take a good look around the Internet to see the options that are available to you, because there are a large number of shopping cart software solutions out there.

When it comes to buying software, you want to be sure you’re getting what you pay for. There is much more to consider than just the display of the appropriate icon, after all. Many people are frightened by software, especially when the instructions use particularly long, technical words. Don’t forget that if you need assistance, online business consulting may be just what you’ve been looking for.

- Choose a software package that is easy to install. The best options have wizards that will take you by the hand and walk you through the steps, with good help options in case you get stuck. Shopping carts can be fairly easily integrated into websites where no store existed before.

- Your solution must be search engine friendly. After all, it’s no good if people cannot find you in the first place. Whenever you set up your product notes, make sure that you use appropriate keywords to describe them. Images that have the option of being viewed as thumbnails and as larger images are great for attracting customers.

- You don’t have to use a generic shopping cart option. Look for software that allows you to set up your store the way that you want to and customise your shopping cart in a variety of ways. Incorporate a variety of visual icons for navigation and think about different ways to display your menus.

There is a price to buy the software, of course. Depending on your needs, this price can run from a little over ?100 to over ?1,000. For small businesses with few products, the most expensive shopping cart on the market just isn’t feasible.

Merchants come with a variety of different requirements and shopping cart software is designed accordingly. In addition to the features discussed above, it helps you to:

• Create and input coupon codes
• Manage inventory
• Shipping and tracking
• Maintaining client addresses
• Web hosting options
• Set up a merchant account/gateway
• Create reports
• Establish a secure payment network

Any online business consulting firm will tell you that there are many considerations when it comes to shopping cart software. Choose the one that works best for you needs, for the lowest fee.

The virtual assistant business is truly booming. Businesses are awakening to the fact that it can be very advantageous for them to hire somebody to assist with website development, online marketing and general business tasks. As a virtual assistant you can work to meet the needs of any and every client or you can change your tack and specialise in one or two areas of business.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “Less is more?” This is most definitely the case when you are talking about virtual assistance. A general virtual assisting business lets you take in clients from all walks of life. That’s good if you like that, but sometimes the learning curve can be quite big with certain projects. By specialising, your clients will be able to capitalise on the knowledge you have accumulated from every project you have undertaken.

The reason you started your virtual assisting business in the first place was to go to work for yourself. Going into business as your own boss shouldn’t be an unhappy proposition. This might not be written in stone, but it should be, shouldn’t it? You are in charge and thus you decide what you’re going to do, or not as the case may be.

Move your virtual assistant business up to the next level by concentrating on niches. When you are involved in niching, you focus your business plan on a particular area of expertise. By focusing this way, you become good at one particular element. You can even call yourself an expert in the field. If you truly know your stuff, clients will be willing to pay well for your services. Just focus on putting in several years of hard work and persevere at this and you could easily become the chosen resource.

How do you start specialising? First, decide what services you enjoy doing for your clients. It could be website design, social networking, handling personal matters or another area altogether. Many virtual assistants had previously worked in the public or private sector before they became online entrepreneurs. Use that knowledge to create a special niche for your new business.

Why should you choose a niche? The first reason is to be able to acquire significantly more money for your services. By providing the same list of services to all your clients, you can ask for higher rates. You can make the same profit that you did before, but with fewer clients and less working hours.

Secondly, niching lets you work at something that you really love to do. We all know that if you’re really happy at what you do, you will be more productive and get a lot more done. This is the case for business owners as well as employees. You will have the state of mind to gladly answer questions for customers or take on a trying task.

Lastly, your clients will be very happy with you because of the high levels of customer service and integrity that you bring. You always provide your top quality work and your clients will recommend you to all their contacts, business associates and friends. You have the potential to build a solid and faithful client base.

By specialising as a virtual assistant, the business has the potential to increase exponentially. Clients get an expert in the field and you get to work in a business that you love.
