The use of the on page optimization has actually increased the manifold by leaps and bounds, as now it will account to 40 % of the total SEO efforts opposed to 20 % SEO effort that was present previously.

One area companies must ensure is the use of proper Meta tags, which must be compact and concise, as Google has categorically said that websites without proper Meta tags will be summarily rejected.

The use of the Meta tag, which must be of 156 characters precisely for good result, is generally essential as it ensures sufficient traffic to the website and use tags that are present in the website content. While using the Meta tag one must be careful with the use of keywords.

SEO is the most effective form of online marketing, while also being the cheapest.
SEO is a longer term marketing strategy as it takes at least 3 months before any significant results can be seen. After this short period it will soon out perform any PPC campaign.
SEO comprises of a range of techniques performed to improve the quality and quantity of traffic to a designated website. This traffic will predominantly come from organic search engine results pages for targeted keywords, but will also come from a wide range of links created as a part of the SEO process. The few of the more commonly used SEO techniques performed “On Site” and “Off Site” as listed below.

When I started blogging, it was so difficult for me to get traffic. I’d only get a few views from promoting my site in a forum. If these visitors liked the content of my blog, they’d come back. But for some time they were the only ones who knew about my site.

And then I started browsing other people’s blogs, and stumbled upon a banner from LinkReferral. I clicked on it and was taken to the LinkReferral website, where I learned about their concept. The concept is: it’s like a big blog/website directory. You can sign up and add your site there. But it’s not just like any other blog directory because the members are encouraged to click on each other’s sites. What’s the incentive? Everytime you click on a site in the directory, your site moves up the list. If you’re very diligent with clicking, you’ll be somewhere at the top of the list, making it much more likely that other members will get to click on your site.

My traffic started increasing after I joined LinkReferral. However it also plateaus after a while, so I recommend that you also look for other ways to increase traffic. For those who are just beginning and are trying to establish their bog or website in the net, it’s a great way to start building up.

Having a business online, getting it into SEO and doing all of the dirty work is a lot more than just making sure that you are out there. As I learn more and more about using the Internet and getting into search engines, I’ve also learned that there are layers of ways for you to get your name into the top of the list.

One of the ways that I have eliminated a large amount of headache and actually gotten my websites into some of the top areas is through Web CEO. I consider this a power tool of power tools. If I had enough money that I wanted to spend on SEO optimization through something, I would definitely buy it. However, this one is FREE and basically does the same thing.

So, if you have a website that isn’t optimized yet, you can use Web CEO for anything. Start with allowing it to find the popular keywords for you that you can plug into your website (META Tags). Then, you can automatically submit your site to all of the search engines… even the manual ones. Yep. It has everything consolidated in there. AND, it allows you to build links and partner options so that you can get in the same ranks as the big dogs….basically, it saves you hours of time.

And what I really love about this… it gives you statistics. Where you are ranked, how you are related to your competitors, etc, etc, etc. So, you know which page you are on and whether you are going up in the ranks or down. Something that will let you find what is missing so that you can grow with your business.

That’s not all it has. There is plenty more. For those that want the “more,” you can probably find it on the free version. Or, if you really want to go all out with your building of SEO, you can get into their paid version, which boosts up usability with it.

So, for small businesses and those trying to get to the top of the Internet… go for your power tools to get there.

While browsing news from the past week, I found an article written by Cari Haus on WebProNews.com, titled “The Biggest SEO Scam of All”. Intrigued, I decided to read, and here’s what I found:

Read the rest of the article here, and in her own words, “beware of any SEO firm that:

• employs a boiler room full of telemarketers
• automates most or all of their services
• insists on gaining and retaining control of the url to be promoted
• focuses on lengthy and obscure search strings
• touts sites that are garnering a mere 100 hits per day as examples of their success.”

Everyone who wishes to employ the services of a SEO firm can indeed benefit from this advice, as it can be easy to fall for such ploys.

Moreover, I especially agree with Cari Haus on the 100 hits bit. I can do that myself without even having worked extensively on promoting my website and not being a specialist at SEO tactics. This is indeed a ridiculous promise!

… unless you have the legal budget to back it up.

Google Blogoscoped reported how SEO Inc. dropped out of Google’s rankings for virtually every SEO-related term, including their company name.

SEO Inc. fired back with a cease & desist notice.

Some people / companies will never learn.

After sending the cease & desist, Boing Boing eventually picked up the story.

A tiny little weblog post on a not-so-widely-read blog suddenly gets BoingBoing’d after getting the lawyers involved, and probably tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of Boing Boing readers now have a negative impression of SEO Inc.
