20 Nov 08 Webmaster Search Engine Guidelines


Caution!If you have a website or blog, it should meet certain standards and adhere to certain rules to be included in search engines like Google and blog engines and free directories like Technorati.

You do not pay to get into search engines, and you don’t necessarily submit your site to them.

  1. Google Webmaster Guidelines (!)
  2. Yahoo Site Guidelines
  3. Technorati Blog Quality Guidelines
  4. LIVE Webmaster Guidelines
  5. Ask Guidelines

Reading these guidelines (or rather recommendations (!)) can give you a pretty decent idea how to build a quality website most engines and directories will approve of.

Note these rules for inclusion change, sometimes often. It’s bemusing whats white hat seo today is grey or black hat tomorrow, but generally speaking, it’s better not to screw with any of them…. too much.

20 Nov 08 Should Small Businesses Invest In SEO During A Recession?

These are tough times, no doubt.  The pinch is on every business to cut unnecessary costs and improve efficiency.  Those businesses that were squeaking by to begin with are now in danger of closing their doors.
Advertising is usually one of the first items on the chopping block (though it shouldn’t be).  You’ve got to cut costs, and you certainly don’t want to lay off any employees if you can help it, so you start looking a bit more closely at your marketing budget to see where you can reign in ad spending.  It’s a natural reaction to a tightening budget, and there is a good reason for it.

Most business owners know that you need to advertise.  Sure, word of mouth is great - there’s nothing like a referral from a happy client to instill trust in a prospect - but you still need to be proactive in getting the word out.  The trouble with advertising in the traditional sense is that it is difficult to know whether your efforts are working and what is generating the best value for your dollar.  The uncertainty makes it hard to keep throwing money into your ad spend.  When your budget tightens it is even harder to justify the cost when the benefits are fuzzy at best.

But marketing on the web is different.  The costs are lower, return on investment can be much higher and traffic data allows you to chop out the dead wood and optimize your budget.  Search engines are a primary driver of traffic on the web (second in use only to email according to a report by Pew Internet & American Life Project and comScore).  Search engine optimization (SEO), as a result, has received an increasing amount of well-deserved attention.

For most small businesses, SEO is new.  Some have considered it, perhaps even done a bit of research on the topic, but haven’t yet invested in it.  Others have invested in it in the past and found themselves disappointed with the results.  A few have found real success.
In this economy, why should a company consider a new marketing channel like search when they’re already looking to cut their budget?  What about the risks involved in such a new endeavor?  What if it doesn’t work?  These are all valid questions.  For those who spend most of their time building and maintaining their businesses and systems, reading up on what makes search engines tick is unlikely.  Understanding SEO enough to truly leverage it for growth can seem a long way off.

So why SEO, and why now?

  1. Unparalelled ROI
    A 2006 MarketingSherpa survey of 3,053 client-side marketers determined that SEO was viewed as the most valuable marketing solution in terms of ROI, even higher than email marketing to in-house email lists.  ROI is everything - especially in uncertain economic times.
  2. Targeted Traffic
    Traditional “push” marketing/advertising options often have you publishing an advertisement in a place where you’re hoping it will get a lot of eyeballs.  That’s great, but the real question is: who owns those eyeballs?  Are they the right people?  Do they want or need what you’re offering?  With SEO, up front keyword research can tell you a lot about your market and what kind of language they’re using.  When choose your keywords and optimize for them, you’re addressing an existing need or desire - and you know that at least a good portion of visitors referred from search engines through your target keywords are looking for exactly what you’re offering.  In short, SEO helps to drive high quality traffic to your website and gets your message in front of the right people at the right time.
  3. Precise Tracking
    Web analytics allow you to track your users with a great deal of granularity.  The most basic and easy to set up analytics platform is Google Analytics - and it’s free.  Out of the box, Google Analytics will tell you where visitors are coming from (including what search engines and keywords), what pages bring in the most users, what keywords have the lowest bounce rates (the measure of users who immediately leave your site after viewing one page), what keywords drive the most pages per visit and average time on site and a lot more.  With basic conversion tracking you can even tie keywords to conversion rates - an incredibly valuable way to identify the most valuable keywords and focus on them. Bottom line: with web analytics you can identify the dead wood in your campaign and focus on better opportunities to optimize your marketing budget in real time.

How should you approach SEO?
If you’re considering investing in SEO as a marketing channel there are two basic options:

  1. Take the SEO work on in-house
  2. Hire an agency or consultant and outsource SEO

The In-House Option
Hiring for an in-house SEO position is often out of the budget range for small businesses - in this economic climate especially.  Existing employees, on the other hand, can play an important role - especially those who are already regularly updating your website.  It requires careful research, planning and execution, but with the right training and guidance much of the work required can be handled in-house.
There are also some simple things you can be doing in-house to improve your SEO.

  • That company you partner with - do they have a website?  If so, consider asking them to link to you (after you link to them).  Links are a powerful way to improve your search engine rankings.
  • That trade organization you belong to - do they have a directory on their website where they list and link to members?  That could be the source of a quick and easy link.
  • Thinking about starting a blog?  It’s a great way to build content on your site and bring in attention and links - just keep in mind you’ve got to be serious about it and actually post regularly.

Search engines are very complex, but in the end the websites they reward with high rankings are those that get the simple things right: they feature interesting content on a regular basis, they stick around with the same domain name and with the same topic for years and they build links over time and from other relevant and trusted websites.
The Outsourcing Option

Full disclosure: I am biased.  I run a search engine marketing agency. But I hope you’ll hear me out anyway.
Hiring an SEO agency to either handle the full scope of work or to consult on research and strategy and delegate to your web developer makes sense in many situations.  SEO agencies usually spend a great deal of time researching strategies and tactics and compiling resources - all of which can help you hit the ground running with your SEO campaign.  But you need to find the right agency.
Let’s be clear: no SEO agency can guarantee you rankings or growth.  If they tell you they can, they’re being either dishonest or foolish, or both.  The bottom line is that SEO experts don’t control the search engines.  Changes to Google’s algorithm can, and usually do, come unannounced.  That is out of our hands.
This doesn’t mean, however, that the burden of risk should fall entirely on your shoulders.  Failure of a campaign shouldn’t mean you lost your investment, the agency “did their best” and it just didn’t work out.  Smart agencies recognize that the best thing they can do is share the risk with the client.  How?  Simply: they set specific goals and benchmarks and stick to them.  That may mean they continue working at a discounted rate if they don’t reach a goal.  On the other hand, they may offer to work on a performance-based contract from the start so their compensation will be linked directly to the return on your investment.  The point is, it should be more of a partnership than a client/vendor relationship.   That is as important now as it ever has been.
SEO is scalable - you don’t have to throw everything and the kitchen sink into it.  Sometimes just taking a few small steps here and there over time adds up to success.  Other times you need a one-time overhaul of your site, or maybe a long-term relationship with an expert who can help chart the course.  It will depend on the goals you set for your website and how realistic they are given the limits of time and resources.  But search engines are going to remain the primary driver of traffic and sales on the web for the forseeable future.  SEO, for that reason, shouldn’t be an afterthought to your marketing plan, even in tough economic times - indeed, with such a high potential return on your investment, it should be a priority.

Banner Advertising

Although many marketers already know about pay-per-click advertising, very few are purchasing guaranteed banner click-thru’s that are available on hundred’s of sites. Look for sites that cater to your target market and look for, or ask for, their advertising rates. Slowly but surely most of the sites that sold banner impressions are starting to offer performance advertising in the form of pay-per-click.

Write articles

Writing Articles is an excellent way to promote your website and best of all you can get recognize as an internet business expert. You can submit your article to ezine or article directory.

Exchange links

Exchanging links is one of the best method for getting web site traffic and ranking higher. When you start a site you should exchange many as possable links with sites that are RELATED to YOUR site. Robots are eager to find new links and fresh information.

Mailing List

Having a mailing list can bring wonders to a web site, not only will it help bring old visitors back , but they will send the newsletter to their friends (If they like it).This is like gold for you. The only real purpose for a consumer website is to capture leads and to sell products. Send out a monthly e-zine that offers FREE valuable information and mentions similar products they may be interested in. Search Engine Optimization It is no secret that search engines are the number one traffic generating method for driving visitors to web sites. Search engines are very useful in helping people find the relevant information they seek on the Internet. The major search engines develop and maintain their own gigantic database of web sites that can be searched by a user typing in a keyword or keyword phrase in the search box.

Search engine optimization

(SEO) is the process of studying the search engines in an effort to determine how to get your web site to rank high on user searches. Depending on the statistical information reviewed, search engines account for over 80% of the visitor traffic to web sites.

Free online forum

One forum can be about “Online Business”. Another forum can be about ” Joint Ventures”. When people join those forums, make sure that they need to come to your site first and log in from there, if they want to log on and post on the forum.

Market Statistic

You can use features on your website such as visitor polls, online surveys and your website statistics to find out what your customers like more and how they feel about certain aspects of your business to determine how you can improve your product and the way you do business.

FREE Advertising

There is alot of FREE Advertising on the Internet. There is Classified Ads. FREE For All Pages (FFA), Ezine, Article Submission and Newsgroup of course and many more.

Blogging

Blogs are a relatively new and popular way to publish content on the Internet. They allow the blogger to publish content; very quickly AND get feedback from the people that read it. Because they are new and content is created regularly, search engines love indexing them - and if search engines love them, you should too.

Real Syndicated Content

RSS marketing is a tool used by many on the Internet to deliver articles, advertisements, emails, customer support responses, ezines to clients and potential clients.

The 10 Best Ways To Promote Your Website

20 Nov 08 Stop Shopping Cart Abandonment By NOT “Shipping” Your Customers To Your Competitors!

According to a recent Stompernet study, the industry average for shopping cart abandonment is 59.6%. Shopping cart abandonment” means that someone goes to a website, reads the sales letter, and clicks on the buy link to go to the secure order form, but they don’t finish filling out the form. So, this means that for every 10 people who click on a “buy” or “order” link to go to a shopping cart, only four (4) actually complete the transaction.

And that’s in an OPTIMAL environment, assuming the overall site traffic is high-quality and targeted, and the order process is crystal clear and caveman-easy.

Pretty sobering, eh?

Where do they all go?

We usually have our clients start by checking on their shipping rates. The Stompernet study also reveals that one of the top causes for shopping cart abandonment is that shipping is too high, or numerous options make it too confusing.

There are some fast adjustments you can make WITHOUT having to get into programming or custom software if you use a solution like MyEasyOnlineStore.com or Infusionsoft.com,

3 Easy Ways to Stop Shopping Cart Abandonment Resulting From High Shipping Prices:
1) Avoid real-time shipping tables that offer too many shipping choices

Here’s something we actually encountered.

To buy a .95 CD, the “real time shipping” on a shopping cart gave them prices anywhere from .82 to .44 for various air, ground, and rush options for shipping. Of course customers would leave.

It’s just too much to think about. And seeing the option to pay to get a CD the next day really jumped out at the customer. They left, saying “shipping’s too expensive.” Even many customers who bought said “wow, that’s a lot to pay to have it shipped.”

2) Have only one or two shipping options
Replace that long shipping table with statements like:
“It’s .50 shipping, and you should get it in the mail in 2-3 business days.”

“Price includes all shipping and handling. Orders are typically shipped the same day we receive them.”

See the difference?

We recently had a client end their real-time shipping calculations, end rush-shipping options, and simply offer two rates (one domestic and one international.)
Their shopping cart abandonment rates dropped and their conversion rates went up a consistent 5% with just that one change. And, the fulfillment house said that the client is having far few instances of collecting “too little” shipping than they did when it was real-time.

3) Don’t do rush shipping - offer instant downloads

If there’s any reason why a customer would “need it right now,” instead of rush shipping, how about adding an instant download option?

This way, not only can your prospects have it RIGHT NOW (instead of “tomorrow”)
but then you’re also spared the headache of making sure “rush” orders, indeed were “rushed.”

Bottom line:

When it comes to shipping, get to the bottom line and make it easy. When interested customers have to stop and think about shipping, they hesitate. It gets right in the way of the sales momentum.

Give prospects too much to think about and they’ll think about buying somewhere else. This means you lost customers for life!

So, keep it simple - and you will reduce shopping cart abandonment fast.

Now of course, there are many other factors that will affect your website sales conversion and shopping cart abandonment rates. And, that’s why I, now invite you to get a website review “live” on screen capture video that will reveal right in front of your eyes easy, understandable and proven shortcut secrets to plug your specific profit draining leaks.

20 Nov 08 Lively no more

In July we launched Lively in Google Labs because we wanted users to be able to interact with their friends and express themselves online in new ways. Google has always been supportive of this kind of experimentation because we believe it’s the best way to create groundbreaking products that make a difference to people’s lives. But we’ve also always accepted that when you take these kinds of risks not every bet is going to pay off.

That’s why, despite all the virtual high fives and creative rooms everyone has enjoyed in the last four and a half months, we’ve decided to shut Lively down at the end of the year. It has been a tough decision, but we want to ensure that we prioritize our resources and focus more on our core search, ads and apps business. Lively.com will be discontinued at the end of December, and everyone who has worked on the project will then move on to other teams.

We’d encourage all Lively users to capture your hard work by taking videos and screenshots of your rooms.

19 Nov 08 The Evolution (Not Death) Of SEO

There is a lot of talk about the “death of SEO” and “the death of ranking reports” lately.  It all stems from some sessions at PubCon in Las Vegas.
Remember we all want to get our message out there and have our voices heard and one way to do that is to make a dramatic statement.  [...]

19 Nov 08 The Final Inch

(Cross-posted from the Google.org blog)

Early readers of the Google.org blog may recall us embarking on a film project portraying public health heroes working in the field to eradicate polio. Gone from the modern world, new cases of polio continue to afflict mostly children under age 3 in the poorest regions of just a few countries — India, Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan. When we first announced this project and the collaboration between Google.org and Vermilion Films, filming was underway primarily in India and Afghanistan, documenting the front lines of public health in some forgotten corners of our world.

David Heymann of the World Health Organization reminds us, “When you haven’t seen a disease for quite a while, which is the case in the industrialized countries, you forget about the terrible disease that it really is.” Polio is such a disease, as it can ruin the lives of children even before they are old enough to understand how to prevent it.

We’re proud to announce The Final Inch, a 38-minute film about the historic global effort to eradicate polio. Here, the story told is as much about the messengers as the message. You’ll meet Munzareen Fatima, one of the thousands of community “foot soldiers” across India working to sway reluctant families to vaccinate their children, and Dr. Ashfaq Bhat, who travels into the backwaters of India’s Ganges Basin by boat and foot to detect emerging cases of polio. Martha Mason and Mikail Davenport bring us into their lives and describe the paralyzing challenges of childhood polio, reminding us how endemic polio once was in the United States.

Filmed in high-definition (HD) in cinematic style — wide open shots to give a strong sense of place — The Final Inch captures their stories, and we hope it is both a tribute and an inspiration of hope. With a final push, this is a disease that can, and should, be eradicated finally.

The Final Inch will air nationally on HBO in 2009. We invite you to check out TheFinalInch.org, where you can view clips from the film and learn more about the people and the organizations tirelessly working on this global effort. You can also check out the film trailer here:

19 Nov 08 Article Marketing: 3 Simple Steps for Getting Started

Every business owner has this thought, “I know I need to be marketing my website–but how?” And then you keep hearing about article marketing, how it’s a great and simple (and cost effective!) way to bring exposure to your website, build links, increase traffic and bolster search engine ranking.

After hearing the dozenth colleague recommend it, you decide to take the plunge yourself.

Now what? What do you do, where do you start, what should you write? How do you really ‘get into’ article marketing?

A legion of questions jumps into your brain stopping you dead in your tracks.

Whenever we start a new endeavour, there’s a bit of trepidation, but if you can take a few practical steps going in the right direction that feeling of nervousness and confusion will start to fade away.

Whenever a newbie article marketer asks me how to get started, I give them these 3 simple steps:

1) Write an article.

Duh, right? You probably already figured that part out, but before you start writing keep these guidelines in mind:

*Write on your area of expertise. If you happen to sell products at your site, please don’t write specifically about the product you sell. To do that would make the article appear sales oriented, and with article marketing the articles are always educational. Write as if you were a teacher trying to help a newcomer understand your niche.

*Do you have already content that you can re-purpose into an article?

If you have a blog or helpful articles on your website, you may be able to save a little time by using the original content as a launching pad for a new article.

The idea is to *teach* your reader something, so you can look through your previous blog posts, find some that are of the “how to” variety (posts that teach folks how to do things) and then use that post as an outline for an article.

Please note: it isn’t advisable to use content from you blog or website verbatim in an article–re-work the content so that the post or articles on your website remain unique.

*Keep your articles between 450–1500 words, but ideally try to shoot for 700-800 word articles. The first parameter are word limits that most publishers will accept. The 700-800 word articles are ones that are most attractive to ezine editors because they fit nicely in most newsletters.

*After you’ve written your article, be sure to proofread it thoroughly–remember that once you submit this article it will be published on websites over which you have no control, so you want to be sure your article is free of typos and grammatical errors.

2) Find a publisher.

There are 3 main publishing avenues for article marketers–article directories, ezine editors, and announcement lists.

For your first article you may just want to do a Google search for “article directories” and choose one to submit to. You will need to register at the directory, filling out a “new author” form, and then do the various steps to activate your account.

3) Submit your article.

*Be sure that your article is in text format only before trying to copy and paste it into the online form. By having your article in text only format, it helps your article appear with the correct line spacing and formatting. If you do paste your article directly from Word (which is not text only), you may need to fiddle with the article for a while until the formatting is correct.

*Choose the appropriate category for your article. The category is determined by the topic of your article–this is one reason why it’s extremely important to write articles on the topic of your website.

*Spend time crafting a strong resource box. Wtih article marketing the resource box is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The author bio that includes a link to your website makes it possible for traffic to flow from your article to your site. That’s what you’re going for, isn’t it? More traffic!

For the most effective resource box, be sure to include these 4 items:

Your full name. A little bio info and a few of your credentials. A reason to click through to your website. A link to your website.

That wasn’t hard, was it?

They say the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step–this is your single step.

As you get used to submitting articles, you’ll be ready to learn more advanced techniques, but for now these basics will serve you nicely. As a beginner, the idea is simply to get comfortable with the writing and submitting process–do these 3 simple steps and you’re on your way to becoming an expert!


A trick that many expert article marketers use is to submit article automatically, saving time and increasing their article exposure. Steve Shaw created the web’s first ever 100% automated article distribution service, SubmitYOURArticle.com, which distributes your articles to hundreds of targeted online publishers with the click of a button!

19 Nov 08 Benefits of niche blogging

You’ve heard about it, niche blogging, but you still can’t see what benefits there are to gain from doing it. I think it is a well known fact within the blogging world that when it comes to turning your blog into something profitable, you would need to target your niche markets.

But some people have gone beyond niche markets and also emphasized the importance of locating sub-niches that also have great potential for being profitable. But first, let’s recap and talk about what a niche is.

A niche is a target market that has good profit potentials and isn’t saturated by your competitors. The idea is to find a market that not only interests you but also one that is unique, allowing you to stand out more.

But of course, you would also want it to be profitable. Meaning, there has to be a decent number of people interested in that niche as well. After all, you are blogging for profit.

Niche blogging would also make your blog more interactive as you get people who are genuinely interested in reading about what you have on your blog. This open discussion would also help in making your blog grow even further.

Niche blogs are also more alive due to this interactivity between you and your readers that other sites don’t offer. This would help you get to know the people who go on your blog even more and learn about the things they like.

Knowing your readers would also help you in improving the kind of articles you have on your site as well as choosing the kind of products to promote.

In no time, you will see the benefits of having this communication with your readers as more and more people come onto your blog. As long as you keep putting up informative and relevant articles, the number would just increase.

So make sure that you keep the articles entertaining and don’t mix it around too much. Keep your blog updated and try to always be ahead when it comes to news. Once people realize that they can rely on your blog for the latest on whatever topic it is you’re writing about, they are sure to come back each and every time slowly building you a loyal reader base.

Another thing that every good blogger knows is to stick to one topic and don’t mix a number of different subjects in one post.

This would distract your reader from the actual point of your post and eventually make them lose interest.

The key to a successful blog is to have the ability to keep the reader interested even when you are writing about just one topic. So choose one that you are very passionate about so that you’ll find various things to write about which are all relevant to your niche.

Do write with passion as this would manifest itself in the articles you write. An article that is rushed would most likely end up not as interesting as an article that is well researched and well thought out. So when your write for your blog, make sure that you provide relevant and up to date information without becoming boring.

19 Nov 08 Are Your Online Marketing Methods Boring? Try Twitter!

The most Internet marketing fun you will ever have!

I have to admit there are many parts of Internet marketing which are downright boring for me. Rewriting articles into original content, submitting links to directories, the record keeping involved…these are all important, but they are not my most enjoyable tasks.

Therefore, I am very excited when something comes along which not only works well, but I can have fun with too! Twitter is my cool new Internet marketing tool I have been using lately. I can honestly say it is probably the most fun I have had with any marketing method!

I had my account for a while before I took Twitter serious. Sure it was fun. But was it really worth my time? When I kept seeing many of the top Internet marketing gurus using Twitter, I decided to take a closer look. After all, those top marketers probably weren’t spending their time with Twitter unless it was producing results for them.

I decided to give Twitter a closer look. I dug into it to find out exactly how marketers like John Reese and Willie Crawford were using it. It amazed me how much time they were devoting to this new marketing method! My methods were hit and miss at first, but thanks to a few Twitter mentors I was able to craft a system which is working very well for building a large following. At the time of this writing, I am consistently adding more than 50 new followers a day!

Imagine! 50 new leads a day which cost me virtually NOTHING but a small amount of “fun time” on Twitter. Also, the best part about my methods is that the new followers I get are targeted. It really does no good for me to get leads who are not interested in Internet marketing. For example, those tweeting about “gardening” or “coin collecting” really won’t do many any good as followers.

Although there are large amounts of Twitter users in the area of Internet marketing, Twitter is also used by followers in many other niches. Once you learn the process of “Twittering” and how to attract targeted followers for your niche, the sky really is the limit! Best of all, unlike many other marketing methods, Twittering is an absolute blast of fun!

Here are a few hints for Twittering success:

  • Always have a descriptive bio of yourself and include a great landing page. You are allowed one active link in your bio. You can include other URL’s in your description, but they will not be active.
  • Make sure you take advantage of the reply and direct message features. These two features are the real “meat and potatoes” of Twitter. Using them will result in strong (and profitable) relationships with other users.
  • Use a link shortening tool like TinyURL to shorten links to deal with the 140 character limit for each tweet.
  • There are some cool third part tools which I use to ramp up Twitter’s marketing potential. Be sure to see my Twitter bio for more information about this.

Give Twitter a try for a few weeks and watch the results!
