Without targeted traffic, it doesn’t matter how nicely designed your site is… because if its lacking traffic nobody is going to see it. That’s the purpose of this article - to generate ongoing highly targeted traffic to your site every day, all year long.

Promoting your company on the Internet comes down to one thing: Having a website that gets quality traffic. I don’t think I need to get into the importance of having a website. Without one, promoting your products and qualifying prospects via the Web will be that much more difficult, and unnecessarily I may add.

By far, the most effective method for manufacturers and industrial suppliers to promote their website on the Internet is through search engines, preferably via natural search results. In a moment I’ll show you one of the best ways to do that.

The Truth About So-Called Search Engine Experts

With the ever changing platforms, criteria’s and technical advances search engines often go through, nobody really is an expert on the subject, despite what they may claim. However, there is obviously one exception… that being the decision makers or shall I say top brass of the major search engines themselves like Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. In reality, they are the only ones, and I repeat the only ones that really know what the next big ‘update’ or changes that will take place. In fact, IMO, keeping you guessing always works to their advantage, and has actually spawned a number of online forums and blogs related to the next “updates”. Makes you wonder doesn’t it?

There are two major ways to start a search engine campaign as part of your marketing arsenal. You can do it on your own, or you can hire a company or SEO specialist to do it for you. It depends on what you want to do, but one thing I’ll point out is for the most part, an SEO specialist is not much different than hiring a competent employee to do the same work - but at a much lower rate of course, and better still with more control on your end.

Sure, SEO firms will tell you how they know all the “secrets” for getting your site at the top of search engines. They’ll claim they have the inside scoop on what really works in the world of search engines, and so on. But the fact of the matter is, their so-called secrets can be easily discovered and often improved on. After all, this is the information age, where information on every imaginable subject is available right now on demand. Do you think SEO’s are the only ones that know the “secrets” of getting a high search engine page ranking? Of course not, and I’ll leave it at that.

Relevant Content Or Information Overload?

If there was one method I can give you about promoting your site via search engines, it would be the critical matter of applying the right KEYWORDS integrated flawlessly into your site’s pages. Not only in the meta tags such as the title and description (yes, many search engines still look at the meta tags). But more importantly, the keywords must be embedded naturally throughout the page. The more those keywords are used on the page, in a natural manner of course, the higher ranking it will get in search engines. Sure, there are a number of other factors that increase the ranking of a page, but few if any is as important as using the proper keywords.

However, that does not mean one should repeat the keywords on your pages just to get a higher placement. Search engines don’t like to be tricked, and they are getting smarter every day. So if you think some page full of keywords not properly presented is a good idea. You better think again. It doesn’t work that way with the top search engines - anymore. And I must say, thankfully so for us ethical writers.

Using keywords on your web pages in proper syntax will double and even triple its effectiveness to be found higher on search engines. That is nothing new to most people who are “Internet marketing savvy,” but yet, the majority of web sites, especially industrial related sites are still stuck in the virtual dark ages of frames, flash and gif files. That is, they create websites based more on visual appeal and complex layouts and less on relevant keywords. Therefore, their results suffer. Search engines love to crawl and index keyword content. Yet, they rebuff and sometimes totally ignore web pages that are too full of images, graphics and multifaceted formats that are too difficult for a search engine’s bot to crawl effectively.

The point is, search engines are in a constant battle with other directories to provide the most relevant searches, faster, easier, and more accurate than their competitors. As a result, indexing keywords on a web page is by far the most effective way they can do this. In fact, I’ve recently learned even search engines that have the capability to convert images, banners and other graphics, still prefer keyword rich content. That is because people using search engines want information relevant to their search, not some flashy graphics showing off someone’s web design skills.

Indeed, building relevant keyword web pages takes a lot of time and effort. Maybe you lack the time necessary, maybe you don’t. Whatever the case, you’ll be glad to know having someone else write these pages is not only less work you’ll have to do, but it’s actually the more effective and less costly choice, and I’ll tell you why.

So You Don’t Have Time To Write Articles?

The best way to produce dozens of keyword relevant pages every month, is through the efforts of a qualified partner, and on a mutually beneficial basis. And the fastest and easiest way to do this is through publishers, authors, and industry experts. These people are capable and willing to provide you with articles, reports, excerpts, features and other content relevant to your industry free-of-charge. Resulting in you building dozens and even hundreds of pages bursting with relevant keywords. Now that could generate some serious traffic for a long time to come.

Don’t thing you can find any writers? There are plenty of publishers and writers that distribute information or news focusing on your industry. They could be anybody from big magazine publishers and small newsletter writers to engineers or other technical professionals that want to submit an article or perhaps a white paper. The point is, all of them have one thing in common, they all want and need publicity, so they can connect with their target audience. You can help them do that by offering free space on your website to post their informative articles at no cost.

Remember, when you find an author, make sure their publication or the industry they write about targets the same or similar audience that you do. Ideally, you want them to provide exclusive content. Unique and relevant content is by far the most important aspect to generate the best possible ROI, even if that investment is just time. Personally, I’d rather publish one exclusive article than a hundred articles that are available on other sites. I can almost guarantee I’ll get ten times the traffic from the unique article.

Lastly, always include the author’s name and URL link as the source of the article so they get the credit and are rewarded for providing you and your audience with such valuable information. Linking out to the original source will further increase the page’s ranking. In return, everyone benefits and that’s what we all want.

Besides knowing the KEI, in order to outrank competitors websites, you will need the following information
- Does the keyword appears in :
1. H1 tags
2. Bold
3. Underlined and Italic
4. Keyword in the first and last 25 words
5. Image alt text

These are the factors that the algorithm of search engines are based upon.

Knowing the google pagerank is also important. If you have to compete against websites with PageRank more than 5, and your website pagerank is zero , then you have little chance of outranking them on google.

When choosing keywords it would be helpful to get those ones that are top paying on Adsense. There are many websites that sell adsense keyword lists, however these lists are restricted and get outdated all the time. With keyword research tool like keywordelite, internet publishers can exploit new niche markets rather than using the same keyword list other internet marketers have. A larger and better keyword database gives webmasters the opportunity to generate traffic on less competitive keywords.

One easy way of getting traffic overnight is by advertising on Pay per Click (PPC) search engines like google adword, overture and kanoodle. These days, PPC keywords are getting more and more expensive. You will need to monitor your competitors and see which keywords they are bidding on. Building a large keyword database can help you to get traffic from less competitive keywords that your competitors have not thought of using.

Internet search engines, such as Google and A9, maintain a very large database of Web pages and available files. To do this, they devise a program called a web crawler, or spider. This software automatically and continuously surfs and hunts content in the Web. Pages that the spider finds are retrieved and indexed according to text content, giving more weight to titles and paragraph headers. Spiders never stop navigating the web from page to page, to index the relevant content of the Internet. Besides looking at the text of titles and headers, some programs are able to identify default tags and keep a library of these page keywords or key phrases in the index.

When a user connects to the Internet types a query, which is automatically interpreted as keywords, the search engine scans the saved index and creates a list of web pages that is most appropriate to what the user is searching for.

SEO will use all the combined techniques of keyword analysis, smart code, good content literature, link popularity study and website organization to place the subject web page as high as possible in the list of search results in search engines. Web pages displayed on the top of results pages are assumed to get the most attention, and therefore, opportunity for earnings for web businesses and pages with sponsor links.

Search engines usually return a list of results ranking pages according to the number of Internet sites linked to them. Results can be classified as organic, or sponsored links. Sponsored links are shown prominently because their creators or agents paid the search engine. Sponsored links are the main source of income of search engines. “Organic” search results are the lists of actual results from the engines index and are directly related to the keyword typed in the request.
One of the more effective techniques of SEO is the creation of a well-organized site map in a website. Since the site’s main page and other content are directly linked to a site map, spiders can more easily move through the website, identify the key words of the content, and index these for a search engine. This is where the SEO sitemap helps the website creator or administrator.

Site maps are usually pages filled with links. These are shown as tables or lists, although lists are generally more effective. Writing code for SEO sitemaps is very easy and simple to format and maintain. These are ideally basic HTML pages with default tags, logical titles and keywords scattered in the Meta description. Introduction areas can contain more of the keywords. The site should have a main heading for every directory.

A simple list layout helps reduce unnecessary tags that might “hide” your keywords. Some spiders give more weight to the following, than text in the normal body of the webpage: heading text, content within link elements, text nearer the top of the page and the text written for a link. Therefore, writing the keywords and links in these areas could somehow move up the web page’s ranking. This goes for SEO sitemaps as well.

Web sites should be designed consistently, so navigation models should follow the flow of the site map. Therefore, the first section in the site map should be the first link in the navigation bar.

In an SEO Sitemap, and most pages, the headings contain title attributes where more key phrases in the site map can be added. Keywords are generally well chosen and written in the body of a webpage. However, in an SEO site map with little text, key words should be added as much as possible. As much as possible, web links should follow web page titles, and must undergo SEO during coding. Care must be exercised not to cram the page with keywords and links, or the page will be interpreted as blatant spamming and not receive any traffic at all.

There is no way to guarantee that a website will be shown in the topmost ranking of &quotorganic” search results for an extended period of time. However, smart and responsible SEO sitemap techniques can be used to place the website high up in the search position. Regular monitoring and adjustment of the SEO Sitemap and search results would ensure that a website is kept near the top ranking and receiving lots of web user traffic.

Lets begin with the latter. You can submit your site using Googles submit site tool but amazingly enough this is NOT the fastest way to get listed.

Here’s the secret to getting listed in Google like lightening PRESS RELEASE’S

Yep issue a press release relating to your website you will see your site in all the major search engines in 3 or 4 days. Here’s a link to one of my press releases http://pressreleases.newspad.com/pr/20054/pr224817.html

Ok now that your sites in Google how are we going to get a top spot for keywords related to our site. Well I’m afraid to tell you this is no easy process it could possibly take months even years! But with some luck and the right tools it is achievable.

There are two keys to getting a high ranking

1) Keywords
2) High Page Rank Websites Linking To Your Website

Lets look at keywords first. So to go about finding these keywords we are going to use some free tools

1) Overture Keyword Tool -
http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/

2) Wordtracker - http://wordtracker.com

Using these two tools you can search keywords related to your product/website & find out which ones are searched a lot and which ones have very little competition.

What you want are keywords middle of the road i.e. not as much competition & not as much searches.

I hope this information will help you achieve your search engine goals.

I am banned from Google…Help!

What did you do to get banned? Can you get un-banned? Yes! But first you need to know what you did to get banned. Google will not tell you. A sure sign you have been banned is that your web site is missing a page rank. By, that I mean the PR bar is Gray. That is usually the first indication. To double check that, enter site:www.yoursite.com into Google. Replace “yoursite.com” with your URL. If it there are no pages indexed, that is a good sign your site has been removed from Google (if your pages were indexed beforehand). Also try link:www.yoursite.com to see if your back links are still listed on Google. If your site is banned they will be removed as well.

Read through the following list. If any of these ring a bell, you should change them ASAP.

Spam:

Yes, people still do it whether it was intentional or not. Some newcomers get confused in regard to legal, productive ways to help boost their keyword percentage and spam. The keyword tag with too many keywords or keywords repeated too many times is spam. Comment tags are for comments, not for keywords. Your description tag is for a description. Yes, keywords should be in it. However, it should not be blatantly “chocked full” of keywords.  Insistently, the keywords in your description should reflect that particular page, not your entire site. Each page has its own keywords. 

Another way to spam is to hide text. Creating text and making it the same color as the background is spam. Spam can sometimes be unintentional. If your site repeats the same words over and over it can be seen as spam. For example let’s say your site sells airline tickets. Your site may state that you sell “tickets to New York”, “tickets to San Francisco”, “tickets to Indiana”, etc. If you list all 50 states with the word “tickets” attached…that’s spam!

Redirect:

If you own several domain names and have them redirect to one, that is bad SEO. The only redirect allowed is a 301 redirect. It should only be used to redirect an old site to a newer site (old domain to a new domain). This tells Google that it is a “permanent” re-direct.

Linking to bad neighbors:

A bad neighbor is a site that is considered to use Black Hat SEO methods.

These can hurt you big time.  Some examples of bad neighbors are…

1        Free-for-all link farms
2        Adult web sites
4.       Gambling web sites
5.       Sites that have multiple categories to link to.

It is hard to undo links to bad neighbors. You can try to check your back links and try to find the bad neighbors. Then, try to see if they will remove your link. It usually takes a large amount of bad links to hurt you. If you stick to sites that are related to you and your industry, you will likely be ok. Sometimes people search for an easy way to generate one way links by turning to directories.  These can do a lot more bad than good. Plus, many are automated, making removal next to impossible

Duplicated Content:

This falls under the spam rule listed above. Basically, if you create a page and then duplicate it throughout your own site, it will hurt you. If your site is large, you can use this free toolhttp://www.copyscape.com/it will help you locate duplicated content on the web. You won’t be penalized if your content (i.e. articles) is syndicated to other sites, only if it is repeated on the same domain. You can use similar content on pages. Google does not tell us the percentage of content that is considered to be spam so I would suggest you keep it below 15%.

Robot,txt:

Sometimes this is inserted improperly. The robot.txt file is a set of instructions for search engine spiders. It tells them what to index or not to index. This file resides in your root directory. If the tag is incorrect it could prevent all search engines, not just Google, from indexing your site. Or, in some cases, removing it from the search engine index altogether.  If inserted properly you should be able to located it byhttp://www.yoursitehere.com/robots.txtto validate that your robot file is in proper order. Visit this site:http://www.searchengineworld.com/cgi-bin/robotcheck.cgi  for more utility options.  For more info on how to properly format your robot tag, visithttp://www.seoconsultants.com/robots-text-file/.

These are some of the major things to look out for. If you have been banned from Google, go through this list one problem at a time. After you have made the corrections, contact Google. If you still have problems you may need to start all over with a new domain.

A favicon.ico file is the image which is the image you see in the Favourites folder. When this file is created and saved to the ROOT directory on a host server for your website, which you can usually upload when you FTP your other website files, it will show when others save your site to their own favourites folder. The image icon also shows in the address bar.

So how do you create a favicon.ico
You can use any graphics package to create a 16×16 image. I use Photoshop, but you can use any graphics package of your choosing. You may prefer Paint Shop Pro for example. The problem you will find is that is it very very difficult to create an image that means anything when it is so small. 16×16 pixels is very small and finding an image style you can design, which relates to the site, is not easy. You might have to play around with some ideas first. Probably one of the nicest I have designed to date you can see when saving investsicily.com to your favourites (you can always delete it straight afterwards, but it does show a classic example of a good 16×16 pixel image: a picture of a house for a real estate website in this case.

Changing the file to type .ico
You HAVE to change the file to a .ico file (an icon file) for it to work as a favicon and as far as I know, you cannot do this is most graphics packages. By going though, to ww.html-kit.com/favicon you can simply browse for your 16×16 created bmp image and then it will create an icon file for you, which you can then save to your machine. You then simply upload this file to your web-root folder.

Understand the Rules
Don’t dive into the water without first knowing how shallow the pond is. It’s easy to get caught up in the lucrative prize offerings promised by SEO contest sponsors. Carefully examine the rules as publicly stated by the contest sponsor. Are the rules fair? Do they give advantages to experienced competitors who control lots of links or does the average Joe webmaster have a reasonable chance? Also ask if the contest rules have safeguards against cheating, spamming and unethical practices.

Know Thyself
Perhaps the next most important questions to ask is can I win the contest?
Realistically assess your abilities SEO talents against the rules of the contest
Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry character made a statement that should resonate for any potential contestants: “A man’s gotta know his limitations.” If you are an aspiring SEO or SEO newbie who will be competing against hundreds of professional SEO’s for tens of thousands of dollars in prize money, you may wish to make your debut in a smaller stakes contest. The risk of wasting valuable time may be far greater than the chances of reaping the reward. After all, you may be better off working on your own web site’s long term growth.

Know your Strategy
If you’re convinced that you have a reasonable chance to win an SEO contest, formulate an initial strategy based on what you know works and especially what has worked for you in the past. Of course, you can and should adapt your strategy. As the contest progresses, you will want peak in on your competitors and see what’s working for them. Even if you don’t win, you will probably learn a few new tricks.

However, confusion may have overpowered other webmasters and web marketing so-called specialists. These webmasters believe they can achieve the highest rankings on the search engines on all the keywords that come into their mind. But SEO is not about getting your website listed for all the keywords and keyword phrases you can think of.

Targeted Keywords, Not Overloaded Keywords

Instead of achieving higher rankings on the search engines for all possible keywords, you should try to achieve higher rankings only on the most targeted keywords. In search engine optimization, it the effectiveness of the keywords that matter, not the quantity. Trying to achieve top rankings on the search engines for all keywords and keyword phrases you can think of will mean load of works and waste of time.

Effective search engine optimization is not about getting your website listed on as much keywords as you can think of. SEO is about getting your website listed on the right keywords. Targeted keywords and keyword phrases will drive targeted traffic to your website. Targeted traffic means higher conversion rate for your online business.

Relevant Web Pages, Not Irrelevant Web Content

Search engine optimization urges website owners and online business owners to provide their websites with relevant and informative content. Furthermore, it discourages overloading your website with several web pages that are not important at all. If you can’t just give your site visitors the information they need, why still bother getting them to visit your website in the first place?

The web pages of your website must be convincing enough to convert your site visitors to customers. They must be designed specifically to attract site visitors to purchase your products or services. To create a convincing web page, you must incorporate elements that will gradually create trust from your visitors.

Key To Successful Search Engine Optimization

Contrary to what other webmasters believe, search engine optimization is never about getting loads of keywords for your website. It is neither about overloading the website with numerous web pages that contain nothing relevant to your target market.

Search engine optimization is about optimizing your web pages for the most targeted keywords, keyword phrases and search terms. Furthermore, it is about creating relevant web pages and content that will be beneficial to your target market. Search engine optimization is not just about giving your website higher traffic; it should also increase your website’s conversion rate.

In the Field of SEO-Search engine optimization choosing keywords is one of the most important tasks. You should choose keyword wisely. Choosing keyword is not a guessing Game but it is an art.

You are now familiar with keyword/key phrases. Now Question is ‘where to Put these keywords?” here are some places where you can place these keywords

[1] Meta tags
[2] Title Tags
[3] Through out the Description on the page

>> Meta tags:-

Meta tags are invisible for Visitor and as you might know search engines like Yahoo, Google, MSN are Not providing weight to them to rank your page. But still you can place your keywords in Meta title, keywords and description section.

>> Title Tags:-

This is very important place where you should place your keyword for better ranking in search engine. The main Keywords must be here for which you are optimizing your site. Try to include its synonyms Key phrases / keywords also to receive traffic of related keywords. Example you can create your title like this way
Buy Music CDs online: The shop for buying audio CDs online
You are including your two targeted keywords here.

>> Description:

After title tags this is also one of the most important section where you can place your keywords. But don’t go over bound .density of keywords/ phrases should be 7-10%. Otherwise search engines will consider it as keyword stuffing and your rank will go down rather than improving

Other places where you can place these keywords:

>> Images: -

you can choose name of images like music_cds.gif audio_cds.jpg etc rather than 0545.gif and image.jpg! This will improve relevancy of your page for related keyword

>> Name of domain, Sub directory and sub domain:-

Before you choose any domain name, directory or sub directory you should consider your keywords/ key phrases and also choose them according to your target market.

>> Example:

Just look at my site. I selected sub domain for my site like http://directory-submission.inetzeal.com/ and http://link-building.inetzeal.com/ for targeting my keywords. Now see source code of Page http://directory-submission.inetzeal.com/ you will find that to improve relevancy of my page related to keywords I also kept name of my logo like this directory_submission_and_link_building.png .then I placed title like Directory submission service. And placed this keyword phrase in whole description.now my page is relevant for keyword phrase “directory submission”, “directory submission service”. Or ‘web directory submission” etc…

I have chosen every sub domain according to this to improve relevancy for specific keywords

I strongly recommend you to choose your sub domain or sub directory wisely. if you are creating just a page then you can select like this …./directory-submission.html because search engines text matching will match this keyword and will rank your site on top with your competitor
