Optimizse your pages for speed.

Ok, so you've spent all this time optimizing your pages and you're not sure exactly how good your optimization is. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has many facets: keywords, images, scripts, onsite/off site, links, etc. Page speed is an important factor, more for human visitors than our eight-legged friends ('spiders' to you and I).

Wouldn't it be great if you could get someone else's opinion on your page speed? For free?

• Make your way to http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/
• For 'Enter URL to diagnose:', enter your page URL
• Click 'Submit Query'

On the resulting page, you will get quite a lot of web page speed diagnosis statistics: Global Stats, Object Size Totals, External Objects, Download Times and Page Objects.

But the best part is at the end of the page - Page Speed Analysis and Recommendations. Currently, this section is broken down into 11 areas covering page objects, images, CSS & HTML. Helpfully, colors are used for each area to focus your attention to those areas judged to be the weakest.

On a sample page I checked, I was surprised by the number of images I had on the page. I was pleased however, that my scripts we 'tidy' as confirmed by the analysis breakdown.

Learn more about Search Engine Optimization and increase the number of visitors you get to your website.

The Key To Success Of A Website!

Marketing your goods or services through the web can be a complete waste of time If you don't know how to do it properly. How many sites have you stumbled upon that look like crap, have a Google PageRank of 2 or less, have features that don’t work, images that are broken, links that lead to no where… Even when a site like that manages to somehow win a search ranking, nobody would buy anything from a site like that.

So, the first step to search engine marketing is to have a professional looking site that people feel comfortable shopping on. Its not a big problem or task to that but making your site attractive to search engines is huge. Search engines don’t like bad code, or code that doesn’t validate. They don’t like question marks in URLs. They don’t like frames. They don’t like a lot of things, and knowing what those are and avoiding them will make the difference in whether the search engines even pay attention to your site, much less rank them highly.

Once you’ve gotten the search engines attention, you have to earn their respect. For this, you need content. Single page, or brochure sites, just don’t cut it anymore. You need to say something about your website, your product, your service, or your industry. You need pictures, videos, sound clips or music, and words. Lots of words. But the words should be related to the keywords you’re trying to win searches for. Posting four or five times to a blog every week is must to make search engines believe that you deserve to be an authority in your industry. Over time, this kind of commitment creates a lot of content, and content is still King.

Finally, you need to prove to the search engines that your site is well liked by other people too. Popular sites have links to them. Lots of links from quality sites and this is the key, especially to Google. If your content is worth able your site automatically get links and you don't need to do all that link building stuff later. All you need is just a good design and REALLY GOOD CONTENT. create a post that people like to linked to, after making a post ask yourself is this article deserves to be mentioned on a blog? If satisfied; post it on some social bookmark sites liek digg, del.icio.us, stumble, etc. If your post is really good than you will be able to see results from next day. So start thinking about ideas for the next Great Post!

Good Luck and Happy Weekend!

SEO And Branding

What is a brand?

According To Wikipedia

"A brand includes a name, logo, slogan, and/or design scheme associated with a product or service."

Another simple and complete definition of brand is

"A name that stands for something in the mind of the customer or people."

Branding is not marketing but an integral part of your marketing strategy. Its how you interact with your clients, employees, prospects, vendors and anyone with whom you contact. Branding creates an image of a person or company and according Robin Fisher Roffer..

"if you don't brand yourself, someone else will and You may not like their brand, so best to create your own."

Now see you too are a brand. What do you stand for? Branding your uniqueness will move you far ahead of your competition.

So How Branding and SEO are related to each other? or How can brand helps you in SEO?

Take an example... If you have a website and you need SEO Service for it, and for this you got two options available. Either Rand Fishkin Of Seomoz do it or some SEO named as SEO Guru do it. Which one you prefer or chose?

Obviously you will chose Rand Fsihkin but the question is why? Cause Rand Fishkin has a name in SEO field. He brand himself in such a good way that he is consider as one of the authority in our field. If he says that stuffing keywords in Meta Tags is necessary for good ranking, No matter what other SEO'z says, but they will start putting keywords in meta tags cause this is said by Rand.

Similarly If you got a name or brand, its easy to get link love and create buzz about it. For example a story about Pepsi will get much more attention as compared to a newly launched soft drink. Cause People know about Pepsi and its human nature that you care about the things you know. More powerful brand you got, more loud buzz you can create. The advantage of this. is the attention you get within a short period of time. And this can be a great factor in SEO process today in fact Social Media Optimization is all about this. To make a buzz as strong as possible.

Let's see ... When people think about reliable automobile, they might think Honda. When they think fast microprocessors, they might think Intel. They got an impression over them of these companies cause of their branding. Branding influence everyone and this is one of the success factor of SEO Gurus. They can make a controversy with just a simple comment.

So its a good thing to start branding yourself. In future Your brand name will definitely helps you in your field. Personnel branding helps you not only in SEO but its good for yourself too to be known as an authority.

Get Free Edu Links!

Ok..As I promise, here comes the 1st part of get .edu links for free.

You may already aware of the fact that .edu, .gov and .mil domains got more attention of search engines than normal .com, .net or other domains.

Why?

.edu and .gov domains give so much weighted link love is because they are thought to be trusted, authoritative domains. No matter what mattcuttts says about its only a confusion, we know it and have proof of it.

In various published patent applications and research documents, the search engines themselves have admitted the importance of university sites or government sites cause of the trust factor. Sites having .edu, .gov domain got special search engine attention.

So now the question is HOW TO GET .EDU LINKS?

Acquiring .edu links are difficult cause most of the .edu sites don't link to commercial websites. One way is to exchange with .edu sites maintain by students or Pay them to place your link on their website. These are the legitimate ways but first one is hard and the second one includes money. Since I said to get free .edu links, so the other ways are

1. Commenting on .edu or .gov blogs
2. Participate in .edu or .gov forums
3. Sign .edu or .gov Guest books
   
4. Hack .edu domain website.... just kiddin

So we have three ways remain now and theoretically speaking these three ways counts in Spamming. And since SEO's are good and don't do the bad things so ...?

Ok.

Do Spam naturally.

Give comments in blogs, but only on related post. In name section put your keyword. And in comment section (if needed) simply put your url but again, only if needed. Same thing applies to forums too. Put your url in your signature and start answering the questions. In this way you are not spamming but building links naturally. So don't spam, but utilize the available sources as good as you can. Place your link naturally and DON'T SPAM please.

Even to do spam you need lot of time to find the source which allows to do so cause many blogs are manually moderated now.

So the first way to get .edu link is...

Type this query in Yahoo: add url + .edu

You will get a list of all the .edu resources which have the option to submit url. You can try it in other search engines as well. But its hard to get .gov links via this way cause I never come across a .gov website giving such option.

Good Luck! Any other way you know? Spread the knowledge..Its far more better than keeping it to yourself only.

The Myth Of NoFollow Tag

Nofollow tag is an automated tag on every blog now and almost on all sites too that accepts user suggestion as comments or via guest book. So what is this tag and what's its purpose?

According To Wikipedia (Yeah wikipedia knows SEO too)

"nofollow is a non-standard HTML attribute value used to instruct search engines that a hyperlink should not influence the link target's ranking in the search engine's index."

According To Google

"When Google sees the attribute (rel="nofollow") on hyperlinks, those links won't get any credit when we rank websites in our search results."

nofollow tag look like this



Many webmaster and SEO's believe the wikipedia and Google definition for nofollow tag that is nofollow tag effects a site ranking in Google Search Results. In many seo and webmaster forums we have seen a lot of debate on this issue, which always result in two conclusion. One is of course according to google point of view, that nofollow effect ranking position. But there is also some SEO who believe in somethin else. According to them NOFOLLOW only effects pagerank of a webpage and not ranking.

According to those SEO's

"The new nofollow link tag is supposed to provide webmasters with the opportunity to add a link to their website without leaking PageRank to the page they are linking to."

According to PageRank Theory

All links on a page which have some page rank got equally divided part of that pagerank to them too. This phenomena also known as Page Rank Dilution.

Here is a complete info about Page Rank: Google Page Rank

For example If a page has 4 page rank. And it contains 10 links on it of other websites than these 10 links get equally divide Page Rank Love from that page. This will increase the page rank points of those 10 pages, have their links on that page.

So what is the reality? Which theory is true and which one is false?

And yes! you may not believe it but 2nd theory is true.

It has been experimented by ME (OK I am not giving you any single detail of those experiments for the obvious reason, but sharing with you the proven result. So still I am good) and many other SEO'z too that link with nofollow tag doesn't affect a web page ranking. In fact it may count as a normal link and play its role in enhancing your ranking as number of links increases.

And since nobody caring a damn about Page Rank now days except Google itself, so these nofollow tags are pretty USELESS. For prove, you can analyze backlinks of some sites on 1st page of google and amazed to find that many of them have their links from blogs using nofollow tag. May be you can't see them for highly targeted keywords but remember Google is sorting out result manually for those keywords. Giving you a little common sense hint that if a page has 5 page rank with 100 links pointing to it from other blogs and you have a nofollow link of your website on that page, what do you think your link worth? Or lets have a fun experiment...Find an .edu blog and comment on some post of it. In NAME section put your keyword or simply put your web page url in comment. Since all blogs have nofollow tags installed automatically, so your this link is a nofollow link. After some days you can see this link as your edu backlink and an increase in your website authority.

So I am not advising you to do spam blogs via comments, but to acknowledge you that nofollow tag is only a myth and it doesn't negatively effect your ranking or its only a myth that a link with nofollow tag have no benefit.

So! Happy commenting.

P.S. In upcoming days I will surely post on importance of .edu and .gov links and how to get them. So better subscribe to RSS cause you certainly don't want to be the one left behind.

OnPage SEO Factors

The most important On Page optimization techniques include content optimization, the title-tag, several META-Tags, headlines & text decoration, alt- and title-attributes and continuous actualization.
(1) Content Optimization
This is a tough one, because you should of course concentrate on your user and easy readability, but you always have to have an eye on the search engines as well. For your users it's clear what a certain page is about if it's written in the headline, but for search engines it's better to repeat the important keywords several times. So you have to strike the right balance:

• Concentrate on your users first
  That's what the website is about - you don't sell your products or services to search engines but to people. And if they don't get what you're saying or find it hard to read through your website they very likely hit the back button of their browser and visit your competition.
• Then modify for search engines
  If you got your text together go over it again and try to get some more keywords and phrases in where they fit and make sense. There is no certain amount or percentage that is best, just make sure to just use them a couple of times. The best ways to avoid using them too often are to use different words and phrases and to create some lists. Lists are always good to bring in some keywords.

(2) TITLE-Tag
It is displayed at the top of your browser and it is also used as the title of your website in the SERPs. Therefore you should take your time and think about the best title for your page. Important aspects of the title-tag:

1. Give every page of your website its own title and don't use one title for the whole website.
2. It should contain no more than around 10-12 words.
3. Think of it as a short ad copy, because that's basically it when users see them on the SERPs.

(3) META-Tags
META-Tags are not as important any more as they used to be. That's basically because people started using them to spam search engines - especially the keyword-tag was heavily used for that. Nevertheless there are still some important META-Tags you should use. The description-tag is probably the most important META-Tag. It is displayed in the SERPs and you should select it as carefully as the title-tag. Important aspects of the description-tag:

1. Give every page of your website its own description and don't use one description for the whole website.
2. The description -tag is one of the few meta-tags that still positively influences your website's ranking, so it's good to use your most important keywords in it.
3. It should contain not more than around 25-30 words.
4. Think of it as a short ad copy, because that's basically it when users see them on the SERPs.

The NOODP-Tag is quite new and tells the search engines to don't use the title- and description-tags they find if you have an entry at the DMOZ. This is especially helpful of you are not satisfied with the tags there, or you want to change them. Everyone who ever had something to do with changes at the DMOZ knows that we are not talking about days or weeks if it comes to how long that can take.

So if you use the NOODP-Tag you are basically telling the search engines that they must not use the data from DMOZ entry, but instead, use the tags that are currently on your website. It's said that Google may ignore the general NOODP-Tag!

The robots-tag is used to tell the search engines (e.g. spiders or robots) what they shall do with your website. Possible entries are index, follow, noindex and nofollow - whereas index/noindex tells the search engine whether to index the page or not noindex/nofollow tells them to follow the links or not.

(4) Headlines and text decoration
Headlines should not only be used to structure your content and keep it easy to read, but also for SEO reasons. Search engines tend to give headlines between H1, H2, etc tags more relevancy - H1 being the most relevant headline. Just like the headlines also other text decorations can help search engines identify the most important party of your website. Use bold, italic or bold italic to mark some text where it's useful and also try to create some lists with bullets. Everything of course with an eye on your defined keywords and phrases.

(5) TITLE and ALT Attributes
Title - and alt - attributes are used to describe text-links and images. It's not only for search engine reasons you should use them, but also for accessibility. They are shown if you move the mouse over links and images. Besides, the alt-attribute is shown if the image isn't (yet) loaded.

(6) Keep it up-to-date
Search engines always want new content, so feed them! Not only your website will grow automatically if you always add something to it, but also search engines tend to spider your website more often if they always find something new.

7 Ways For Successful Link Baiting

What is Copywriting?

By copywriting.com

"Copywriting is the art and science of writing words to promote a product, a business, a person or an idea; and carefully selecting, editing, weaving and constructing those words in a way that they’ll persuade the reader into taking a specific and measurable action."

By Wikipedia

"Copywriting is the process of writing the words that promote a person, business, opinion, or idea. The main purpose of writing this marketing copy, or promotional text, is to persuade the listener or reader to act — to buy a product or subscribe to a certain viewpoint, for instance"

According to Bob Stone - Copy Writer

"Your first 15 Words are more important than your 1500 words that follow."

No one has any argument in the statement that your first impression is the most important thing you have to care bout. And when you are participating in social sites you have to consider this more. In Social Network Sites people are not usually reading description, your ranking etc but Headings. Its the last and usually only thing which attract them to visit the site. So you have to make sure to create such a catchy title or heading that force readers to read or to at least click on your story or submission.

Keywords Strategy And Suggestion

If you own a small business website, chances are at some stage you'll have wondered which "keywords" or "keyword phrases" to include within your webpages. At Bytestart, we always ensure that our content matches the keywords we are interested in - and hope the major search engines rank our pages accordingly. Simply stuffing a webpage full of your favourite keywords will do nothing for your search engine visibility.

Althought the "keyword" meta tag is not thought to be of great importance to Google (the Title tag being much more important), the phrases used throughout each webpage document will be picked up and used to determine how relevant the search engine thinks your page is for a given search term.

Finding good keywords and phrases is an important area of web marketing, but how on earth do you find out which phrases are suitable for your site, and which are way too competitive to even bother with.

Here are a few suggestions for keyword research:

Keyword Suggestion Tools

Good keywords are frequently searched for (high demand) but not being targeted by many other websites (low competition). There are a number of tools out there that can help you find them.

Wordtracker - http://www.wordtracker.com

Wordtracker has a databse of over 300m search terms, so is widely considered to provide a fairly accurate view of current search trends.

Once you type in the phrases you think will be popular, Wordtracker will come back with a score based on the number of users searching for that phrase. You'll be surprised how differently people search compared to how you perceive they will search.

These Pages contain links to other sites and in return other sites place a link of website eon their pages. Some times ago Google gives importance to how many links pointing to a site from different websites. But now It gives importance to from which site links are coming.

You don't need to look for sites that exactly match your site theme means if your site selling herbal supplement, its not necessary that you do link exchange with only sites that are selling herbal supplements instead do the Link Exchange with sites that are closely related to your site topic such that a herbal supplement site can do link exchange with a site giving info about Health and Fitness.

Don't use same title for every Link Exchange.

Don't use a title more than three times.

Tweak your description also for every link if possible. Its a bit hard to provide a new description for every listing so you should at least use 4 descriptions randomly.

Don't do link exchange with sites that are a single product page. Means they just offer a single product and nothing more.

Directory Submission

According to Wikipedia

"A web directory or link directory is a directory on the World Wide Web. It specializes in linking to other web sites and categorizing those links."

Directory Submission For anyone trying to promote their website, submitting to directories can be a great means of getting free or cheap links to their site. Submitting to internet directories can be a valuable tool in your search engine optimization (SEO) strategy. If you are in a competitive industry and you don't have a large number of backlinks pointing to your site then the major search engines (Google, MSN and Yahoo) won't list your site high in their search engine results (SERPS). As the search engines are refining their techniques all the time it may be to your advantage to get links from related websites.

Niche Directories The search engines, especially Google are always improving their algorithms. They now provide more weight for a link from a site with the same topic. For example, a travel site will benefit more from a link from another travel site rather than a link from a legal site. For this reason, it is beneficial to have your site listed in directories related to your site. The internet has thousands of directories and there are directories for every niche you can think of. Examples included travel, business, finance, sports, webmaster, SEO, kids, blogs, entertainment, law, games, gambling and web hosting.

You can find listings of 2000 internet directories at web-directoires.ws. This site has 50 categories of well categorized niche directories LINK, including business and financial sites. Listing your financial site in financial directories will improve your search rankings. Remember that the Search Engines (especially Google and Yahoo) like links sites with similar content. Within the niche directories you can find general sites or sites that deal with a very specific topic. .A business directory would be an example of a general niche directory. The Offshore Directory would be an example of a specific niche as the site lists websites related to offshore tax shelters. This site offers specific tax information related to offshore shelters such as tax consultants, legal help, banking and investment. Another example of a specific niche would be the software directory, a site dedicated to software, tools and utilities.
