Check Search Engine Ranking Strategies

Check Search Engine Ranking Strategies

Your search engine ranking is the position of your website on any
particular search engine (Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc).

Because search engines favor the high-ranking sites, you need to check
your search engine ranking continuously and find ways to improve your
ranking. There are many free tools that can allow you to do this. Page
ranks range from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest (and virtually
impossible to achieve). Even a rank of 1 on Google is considered high.

In order to obtain a high search engine rank, you need to employ SEO
(search engine optimization) techniques. And this can take a significant
amount of time and/or money depending on whether or not you do it
yourself of hire someone else to do it. SEO software is also a viable
option to consider.

If you've decided that you want to be the one to check your search
engine ranking yourself, and to take care of the SEO for your website,
you'll need to make a daily habit of performing activities that build
incoming links to your website and using the right keywords. Incoming
links greatly influence your page ranking. If you can get a high-ranking
site to link to your website, you will bypass a great deal of your
competition.

However, obtaining these links can often take quite a bit of time and
patience. There are several ways to go about this. You can write to
other webmasters and ask them to link to you. You can submit your site
to online directories. You can do article marketing. You can use a
social bookmarking strategy. The list goes on and on. But the most
important concept of all is that the information you offer on your site
must be valuable. It is much easier to obtain links to your site when
you are offering information that your visitors (or other webmasters)
find valuable.

Keyword optimizing your site is also part of the SEO strategy, although
less important than incoming links. The best ways to go about using the
right keywords is to use the free keyword tools offered by all of the
search engines. These free keyword tools tell you exactly what people
are searching for on the internet.

Check out the words that pertain to the industry and use these words on
your website. If you're just starting out, go with very detailed
keywords and not the general highly-searched and highly competitive
ones. It's estimated that about 60% of searches online consist of two to
three keywords so try to stick with phrases that fit that. Make sure you
use your keyword phrases in important places on your website like
titles, headings, sub-headings, etc.

Whether you manage to optimize your website on your own, with the help
of a consultant or agency, or with software programs to check search
engine ranking, you will see that your position continues to climb and
this will bring in more traffic to your website.

Where can QR Codes be placed?

Where can QR Codes be placed? The answer to this is almost anywhere! QR Code printing can be done in newspapers, magazines, brochures, leaflets and on business cards. Further to this they can be put on product packaging or labels, or on billboards or even walls. You could even tattoo a QR Code on your body - now that would be an interesting take on giving a girl/guy your number in a bar! You can use QR Codes on a website but they should not generally be used as a substitute for an old-fashioned hyperlink because obviously the user is already online and doesn't really want to fiddle around with their phone only to find a website they could have just clicked through to in half the time. If you have any questions or comments please contact me.

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above ...

When you start out in the blogosphere, there are two words that you hear over and over again. 1. Content - Because let's face it, if you're not writing anything, your blog is going to be pretty lonesome 2. Traffic - The rationale being that if no one is visiting your content, you can't do much, including make money I'd like to toss something out there though that not a lot of people seem to talk about, and that's quality in your content and in your traffic.
