Seo Help

There are no "hooks" here. I spend a lot of time talking to new prospective clients on the phone or by email almost every day and that often eats into my production time. So, I figure if I can do a good job of explaining the basics, it will save us both time, keep my projects on schedule and let me make a little more money.
You might decide you don't need my help and that with this free information you want to do SEO yourself. Good for you, go for it. On the other hand, you might decide that you need my help or that you want help that goes beyond what you want to learn to do yourself. Good for both of us.I have links to information in this page and in my SEO free information I will send you where I am an affiliate for the products or services I recommend. It is important to me to tell you that I actually USE these products and services. You can consider my recommendation a personal endorsement. If you click through and buy something, I get a commission, thank you. If you decide to sign up under me as a fellow affiliate for any of these goodies, I may get a little spiff when you sell something. So, this is an income opportunity for me and maybe for you, too.Beyond saving time and making a little money, there is another motive for providing free SEO advice, and that is helping folks get started on their way to success with their website. Compared to 1995 when I did my first web, the internet has millions of times more content online and new folks starting out have a really tough challenge to compete. It's not easy any more, which is probably why you are reading this? There are folks who helped me starting out. I am passing on the favor. Remember that movie with Helen Hunt? Paying It Forward?I have another reason for doing this. Unfortunately, there are a lot of folks providing "services" like submitting your website to a ga-gillion search engines (a total waste of time and money) or folks who have hung out their SEO shingle who may know less than you do. Like any emerging and rapidly moving field, a lust for the opportunity to say I ARE ONE is not necessarily supported by knowledge or value to the customer. This often gives our SEO industry a bad name and makes folks skeptical about my abilities and my services. I don't like that. I want that to change.So, now that you know where I am coming from, let me tell you a little about me so you will be able to judge the value of what I am giving away for free here.When I put my first web online in late 1995 I started out doing SEO the hard way (meaning self taught) by trial and error, experimenting, reading and looking at what successful webs were doing. I got some good results for both my own webs and for my clients. I realized some time in late 2004 that keeping up with all the changes taking place in techniques and algorithms was getting very, very challenging. This is a FAST MOVING game? You betcha, and it's getting faster and more challenging all the time.After considerable research, I decided to attend Search Engine Workshops and get Advanced SEO Certified. Search Engine Workshops' curriculum is university approved and eligible for college level CEUs or continuing education units. John Alexander and Robin Nobles do a great job and have become real friends as well as mentors. They treat their students like family. Let me tell you, it is great to know and be friends with gurus. Yes it is.Robin and John teach only ethical SEO techniques and start at the beginning in their training programs for folks new to SEO. They have a 2 day course for beginners followed by a 3 day course for advanced learners and an ultra advanced workshop for folks who really know optimization. If you do the whole 5 days I guarantee your brain will be in a kink for a couple of weeks. There is a lot to learn, they teach it well and they teach it all.

SEO Tips Use keywords in Title

One of the things I’m constantly amazed at is how many web publishers miss one of the easiest ways to maximize their positioning in Search Engines by simply including the keywords that they’d like to be found for in their post titles.

I spend a lot of time looking at online articles written on blogs, newspapers and websites and some days it seems that every second or third one has a title that is either cryptic, clever or cute at the expense of Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

To put it bluntly - when it comes to blog SEO I believe that your page and post titles are incredibly important. Google in particularly seems to value the words in your title incredibly highly.

Whilst I too feel the temptation to be clever with my post titles from time to time (and sometimes give into it) - I know that if I don’t get traffic from search engines then a fairly significant part of my income will disappear.

So if you’re writing about a new ‘Pink Widget’ have a think about the words that a potential reader will use to search for in Google to find the information you’re presenting. How would you search the net for information on ‘Pink Widgets’?

Without a doubt we’d all include ‘pink widget’ in the search we did. We might refine it by including a third word like ‘price’, ‘review’, ‘advice’, ‘problems’ etc (which may be worthwhile words to include either in the title or body of content) but the best words to include in the title are ‘pink widgets’ - if you don’t you’ve got virtually no chance of being found for that search term unless no one else is writing about them.

Keep in mind that research shows that people search the web a lot for names of products and people and that they are often quite specific their searches. If you’re writing about something specific make your title reflect this.

Of course it’s worth saying that it’s not as simple as just stuffing your titles with keywords - for one they need to make sense (no one will click on a link in Google if its a collection of unrelated words), secondly if you put too many words in your title you run the risk of decreasing their power and confusing the search engines and thirdly you’ll disillusion your regular readers if you mess with stuffing titles with too many words.

My advice is to keep it simple - get to the point with your titles and try get into the shoes of your reader.
