The Underworld Of Local Search

Helping Website's Be The Best They Can Be Since 1999

Think about it for a moment here guys, look around at what the rest of the Local Search Community is offering you. Open new browser tabs and just look around — truth is, there isn’t a Local SEO website on the web that provides competitive Local SEO Strategies. I’m more than familiar with all the Local SEO professionals around the web today, but..I’m subscribed to all their websites and blogs and I know first hand what they’re doing. Keeping up with my competition, is a small part of my job. I hope you do the same, with your competitors.

Local SEO’s seem to be misled, mis-taught or just plain out lost — in my opinion. I’m not trying to ring anyone inparticular’s doorbell here, I’m just being blunt about the reality of the Local SEO community and knowledge that’s on the web. Truth is, if they was providing REAL strategies, there would be a lot more of you banking it online. That’s just a simple fact. Everyone isn’t stupid, and not everyone want’s to keep reading about basic services day in and day out. Google+ this and Google+ that. We learned how to market via social media platforms, back when Myspace first hit the web. For those of you who do need the more basic things, I’m sure you can agree with me, that there’s already enough of that to go around.

If you’re anything at all, like me, then you’re ready to get deep into some REAL Local Link Building Theories and Link Terminologies and of course “Advanced Link Building Tutorials“!

Advanced Local Link Building Theories and Link Terminologies

First Off —- There’s no such thing as Whitehat or Blackhat SEO.. In the world of business, these tpe of strategies are solely described as risk, and depending upon the amount of RISK that any given company is willing to take, compared to the amount of risk the other company is willing to take, is the only thing that seperats us as marketers. In life, no matter what business you’re involved in, there will always be jelously. If you feel you have room enough to take a little bit of risk, or your clients feel like taking some risk, hey —- this is the life of all businesses. There’s not ONE business out there who hasn’t taken a risk at some point or another.

I’m so friggin sick of seeing these noobs on these social platforms acting like they are SEO gods, in truth they don’t know their ass from their toes. If you’re someone who feels it’s devil worshiping to take risk in SEO, then I advise you to go find yourself another blog post to read, because were going to talk about how to make some cash through serious link building strategies, like it or not.

I do not believe in doing anything illegally BLACK, but I do believe in the link building process, so let’s talk link building, shall we?

When you think of link building you think of what you’ve been taught through random SEO internet sources. Sad to say but the majority of SEO’s on the internet in today’s marketing era are saturated with what they’ve been taught. If you was lucky enough to have gained information from one of the very few veteran SEO’s, then I applaud you, for the rest of you — it’s time you found a new source of information and learned a thing or two about link acquisition and how to apply link building for local search.

Link building can be really tricky due to all the false information on the web, and due to all the tricks that the novice link builders have written about, while they was very likely still learning to implement their new link building software. Link building is not done automatically with software. I realize that there’s tons of link building software on the market today and in order to know what works and what doesn’t, takes a ton of trial and error. Anyone who has been building links for a long time knows all too well that blackhat SEO doesn’t work and those who have gotten it to work for them, came to learn first hand that blackhat SEO is a very short term business life. Google is becoming too smart and too powerful in today’s marketing age to attempt anything outside the box. Sure, things like that used to work, “back in the day” — but today it’s just childish to assume you’ll achieve TOP search rankings from childs play.

Enough about that — let’s talk link building for local search. When it comes to establishing backlinks for a local SEO campaign, things are done differently, from how their done when implimenting an international SEO link building approach. Makes since, as times progresses, so does marketing strategies. If things was the same today as they was 15 years ago — everyone and their granny would have attacked the internet, and Google wouldn’t be anything close to what its become. The next time you see someone writing about how much they hate Google, etc keep this post in mind. Google can’t simply continue with their tail between their feet.

After seeing warnings by the truck loads recently — webmasters and small businesses alike

Well…2013 is underway. The world hasn’t ended and here at RxSEO we’re presuming work and sowely but surely moving into the future. As for the future of Search — as we should all be very well aware at this point, the year of 2012 brought us Google Penguin and Google Panda which taught us that duplicate, copied or scraped content will not rank very well at all on the first page of Google.

Beware 2013 Search Algorithm Updates

In order for you to get your website or web page to rank well in Google for 2013 — unique content will be a must. Not only will it take unique content, but it’ll take you updating your website with unique content regularly.

I’m not ttrying to let you down. Look at it this way — RxSEO is available to write your content for you. Not only are we available to create your content, but as of 2013 we are now offering blog writing. Let us post daily blog post’s for you and keep your blog updated regularly with superior and unique copywrited material. Now’s the time fopr you to take your website and online marketing strategies very seriously!

  • Articles start out at as little as $3.00.
  • In most cases you can get your article written the same day.
  • We also provide artices published to any site on the web you wish to have it published to.
  • Don’t pay us unless you love what we provide you with!
  • We accept custom request!
  • We can build your blog :)

2012 was hellacious with so many updates. For the past couple of months we haven’t seen nor heard very much from Google. That isn’t to say that 2013 won’t provide us with just as many if not more search engine updates than what 2012 brought us. Be prepared for the worse, but hope for the best.

On another thought, I hope that most of you guys have established and already started your new years resolutions. I know I have. It gets really boring being the same old you, doing the same old things.

Here’s to 2013!

Web Design Code and Style Affects SEO

Web Design has become more and more popular among local business owners here in Kentucky. Ten years ago it was rare to locate most businesses online. Today you can’t watch a grocery store commercial on T.V without them mentioning somewhere throughout the commercial to “Like Their Facebook Page”. Even today 95% of all business professionals have even their web address listed somewhere on their business card.

There are those other 5% of business professionals who are still stuck in the past and have yet to become educated on the fact that the internet exists. I really feel sorry for those few. Then there’s those few who are so tight they refuse to invest the little it cost to have a website designed for their brand.

- Let’s Move On

Everyone wants an appeling website. It’s true and so is the fact that a good looking web design is remembered easily. We’ve all desired to change our website at some point or another. Though the truth is that, the more “stuff” your website is coded for and the more stuff you add toward the top of the website, the poorer it’ll rank in search engines. It has been my experience that a better coded, more precise designed website, with the least amount of appealing nature, will innevitably out rank the more heavier website nine times out of ten.

I’m not referring to website content or articles. In fact I’m not at all referring to text any what so ever. Speaking of text – it’s a well known fact that the more higher the text is on a page, the quicker it’ll be indexed and the better it’ll rank. Always refrain from adding advertisements anywhere near the top of your website.

To gain the most from your hard work – when you add to your website, continue to build for quality and nothing more and sooner rather than later you’ll achieve that internet success as you’ve always wanted to.

I realize that most of us don’t have the time to put much work into our website’s. That’s why businesses like RxSEO stay in business. We’re always available to work for you, when you need us.

For 2013 start putting some thought into your blog. Do you have a blog? If you don’t have a blog, then for 2013 you might very well want to consider the implementation of one, onto your already established website and online business. A blog is extremely simple to keep up. If you don’t have the time to manage a blog, that’s ok, because we could take care of your blog for you. A blog is something you use to write. Each day you can add a new post. Blogs can also be very relaxing. Not a writer? That’s ok. Giving your readers and customers a way to better keep up with and follow you and your business makes them feel so much closer to you. Giving them the much needed edge they need to commit themself to you, for years to come.

We all know that second to content marketing, comes backlinks – per importance in Google’s steadily altering algorithm. It’s obvious, due to each and every updaate that has ever come from Google, that there’s tons of SEO companies that have no earthly idea, how to create backlinks that cause a result in a SERP increase. The key componet we’re going to analyse here today is going to be “the consistency at which links are built“.

How you create links, is very likely different from how your neighbor might be creating links. How you create links whether it is Black hat or White hat, doesn’t matter to me. Both strategies work very well, when performed correctly. What I tell you here, might very well be different from what you might see later on today, somewhere else, but—what makes you different from all the rest of the statistic SEO’s, is the fact that there are some of you who know what to trust and what not to trust. The information that I share here isn’t speculation, it is 100% factual evidence.

From time to time I will experiment with new techniques I have personally developed, to try and research what works best, between those methods in which I experiment with. It seems there is only ONE strategy that works, as far as the consistency at which links are created. What I mean by consistency is the steadiness at which you create backlinks to a site.

Let’s look at an example.

Let’s assume that you create 5 manual (White hat) quality links, pointing directly to your money site, today. Let’s assume that you do this, and create 5 links a day everyday, for a solid month. Your consistent link building average is a total of five. If you create 1o links per day, everyday for a month, your link building avg. is a ten.

In order for your link building efforts to work, you MUST stay at or close to the same average. To gain the best results posible from any link building campaign, it is absolutely best to gradually increase the average in which you create links.

Let’s look at an example.

Let’s assume that you create 5 links over the time span of one week. The following week, you should create 6 links. The week after that, you should steadily increase your link building to 10. The following week, increase your link building to 15 per day. The week after that, increase your link building speed to 20 per day. Once you get up to a high number, a number that would (by common since) seem as it is getting high, allow your link building to start to fluctuate and or steady out, by making your link profile appear normal. You can allow it to fluctuate downward, and once again gradually make it appear as it is steadily growing at a steady rate.

This is what I refer to a link building that provides results.

This is 100% White hat Link Building. If you are one of those who has a hard time learning things, and are still using spammy link building tools, this will also work for you. Please keep in mind that if you have started out building backinks at a high amount daily, then you, my friend, must continue to create links at a high amount on a daily basis. If you have been creating a small, average amount of links per day, then you need to continue to create a small, rather average amount of links on a daily basis.

This form of link building allows you to fly below the radar. The type of link building that provides amazing results, and at the same time doesn’t set off any of the search engine spam filter alarms.

Let’s take a look at what would set off a search engine spam filter alarm, shall we?

  1. Building a small amount of links and all a sudden building thousands in one day
  2. Anything that would be considered unnatural to a person
This pretty much sums it up for you. Keep it simple. When you leave my blog, and you go a hundred miles per hour, browsing the Web, finding God knows what, please keep one thing in mind, at anytime you read SEO tricks and tips, always ask yourself after reading them, if they would cause an unnatural appearance in your profile. If you answer yes, to yourself, to any of those above, then chances are you better follow your instincts, to keep from loosing what you’ve worked so very hard at creating.
I don’t often share this sort of information to the public, but this is something that can and will help many of you, and I thought it would be beneficial to share. If you’ve enjoyed this read, and found it to be useful, then please pay for this information, with a simple Tweet or Facebook/Google+ Share!

Matt Cutts was invited to join Google, he trotted through the wide-open doors at Google, as a Software Engineer. Matt joined Google in January 2000 and prior to the Google aspect, Matt marched on, to maintain his Ph.D. in computer graphics. He grew up in the beautiful Bluegrass State (Kentucky) but went on to college, at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill. He has an M.S. from UNC-Chapel Hill, and B.S. degrees in both mathematics and computer science from the University of Kentucky.

Matt wrote SafeSearch, the “Google filtration” family. As some of you may very well know, and many of you don’t, Matt is the main man within Google’s Web Spam team.  Matt talks about “webmaster-related” issues on his blog, and admits that “his job at Google is by far the best job he’s ever had.”

I feel sorry for those of you who haven’t yet had the time to thoroughly read over the original article, try not to miss Cutt’s endorsement, pertaining to the wide spread use of Infographics for generatingbacklink’s.

Eric Enge offered a decent piece of chop for SEO blog’s this week, with the most silenced interview to be published on the web, with the most well known; “say it all“, while at the same time, “not saying anything“, Matt Cutt’s (shame on me for not embedding Eric or Matt’s name in the anchor text!!!).  And while it’s not going to be much of a surprise, it didn’t take our religious SEO buddy, Barry Shwartz, very long at all to write up a silly ass headline.

Of course, (as normal) Barry was “cutting to the chase”, and for anyone who didn’t read the origin - will surely miss out on “Matt’s endorsement“,  understanding the use of Info-graphics for the purpose of “attracting” links (Link Bait):

This is a discussion that makes me a bit troubled. I do agree that there are ways that infographics can be created and that represent an OK form of promotion, but the challenge is that as soon as I say something like that, people are going to use this as justification to do whatever it’s they want to do. They will push the limits, and that isn’t OK.

In principle, there’s nothing wrong with the concept of an infographic. What concerns me is the types of things that people are doing with them. They get far off topic, or the fact checking is really poor. The infographic may be neat, but if the information it’s based on is simply wrong, then it’s misleading people.

The SEO community has taken something that has not been said, nor proved, and began to ruin some really great marketing strategies by misunderstanding what was not said, to begin with. Google is not sending a mixed perception about link’s.

The unexperienced, and so-called SEO’s are ruining a small sector of the Search World, while you allow it to happen. As long as it continues to happen, there will always be bullshit within the mix! Arguing with the perception is not going to get you or I anywhere.

Link Worthy Content and The Link Theory

Google look’s for differentiation. Personally, I don’t see the quality of any Algorithmic aspect declining in our near future. As long as you work behind a computer screen, I can assure you that others will be working to give you more to work with. As time passes, and the tools we use while at work, become obsolete, due to abuse, there will steadily be new and amazing techniques developed. The process will inevitably go into a loop (rinse and repeat). You know this, but I’m not sure if it’s our busy lives that distract us or if it’s temporary laziness. The point here is that, nothing has changed much from day 1.

And as sick as you are of hearing it, you continue to read article’s like the one’s I write, looking for a new way.Link Worthy content is cotent that people want to link to, and nothing will ever change the way you think. And, likewise, the link theory is and will always be relatively the same. Sure, people will, within time change the way link’s are viewed.

Info-Graphic’s and Guest Post’s have not and will not lose their Authority. The fact’s are very clear, and large enough for everyone to see. As long as you aren’t creating infographics for the purpose of spam, or irrelivent niche usage, etc then you will be fine. Many of us are implementing infographics, and are doing extremely well with them.

As for Guest Posting, it could not be more powerful. In my personal opinion, Guest Posting is far more powerful today, than it has been ever before. Here are my facts, today Search Engine Journal posted one of my article’s on their Website. It was published as a Guest Post. Common since tells you that HUGE brands wouldn’t allow Guest Posting, nor would big BRANDS be developing and publishing infographics, if it was looked down upon by Bing, Yahoo or any of the other Search Engine’s (notice  didn’t mention Google).

A Little Birdy Told Me…

Google isn’t the only Search Engine Out there. More importantly, Google is just a search engine, and nothing more. This disease is obviously alive and well (large and in charge) in the SEO community, but is eagerly growing, with lots of life in our marketing community, as a whole, but as always – has failed to heed all warning signals.

 

There are so many professionals within our industry who share so much of their strategies, all that someone who wants to learn would have to do, is look around. Matt Cutt’s share’s these little warning’s, and has for many years now, but instead of people paying close attention and taking what he offers, they close their minds to reading between the lines, and follow what he says 100% dumbfoundedly.

I submit to the court of public opinion that Google has not taken away any great linking strategies. What Google has taken away is the value that these linking strategies create within Google’s index and algorithms. -Michael Martinez

 

Is There Life Outside Of Google?

There sure is. Google filters a small fraction of the overall amount of traffic to the web anyway.

 

So here is what I take away from Matt’s statements about links and linking through the years: Go out and get all the links you wish, but do yourself a favor and get links that people WANT to give you because you’re creating content that they feel is link-worthy.

You know, your next link could come from a 6-year-old who just happens to build a Website with Mommy or Daddy as a hobby. Is that link going to be worth much? You have no way of knowing. Children sometimes craft cute things that attract a lot of attention. And if you’re one of the lucky Websites that inherits that windfall, you won’t be whining and complaining about ONLY getting 1 link all year from a 6-year-old, will you? Well, some of you might complain.

My point is that the SEO community has to stop associating Google with links. Google is not all about links, never has been all about links, and — well, okay, I won’t guess what the future brings. Maybe one day Google WILL be all about links — and if that happens I’ll deal with it just like everyone else.

Seriously, though — you do NOT want to live in a Web marketing environment where it’s all about links, so why do you pretend it is? If you’re going to invest time and resources in obtaining links you should be obtaining links that will work regardless of what Google thinks of them.

Google has mostly just chosen to IGNORE the links it doesn’t like. Screw all these wild conspiracy theories about “Negative SEO” — it’s been around for years and isn’t much of a problem. I’ve been the victim of a negative SEO campaign for the past several months and most of you were never aware of it. Shit happens. That doesn’t mean it’s going to accomplish anything.

I can’t stop people from pursuing links — I get that. But if you’re going to play the link game then go for advantages where Google’s opinion of the links don’t matter. That way, if they DO help with Google, you get a little icing on your cake.

Most Websites do not need that many links. Most of the links that SEOs have obtained for their clients over the past few years haven’t helped nearly as much as those SEOs want to believe. You can clap your hands all you want but this fairy is dead, children — it died a long, long time ago. -michael martinez.

This post, as well of some of the others on this blog, was republished from the wayback machine, after being LOST, FOR MONTHS.

Google’s TOS Matters.

As a passionate SEO and Search geek, I find it difficult at times not to abide by Google’s TOS.

Take a look at the “total market share” image above. Google acquires most all market share, through search engines, and in proving this; there’s very little need in targeting other search engines, than Google. The majority of our clients have no interest at all in targeting any other search engine. That isn’t to say, search engines such as Yahoo and others won’t prosper in the near future.

“I suggest to only try and achieve 40% of your overall traffic to come from Google.”

In order to successfully implement organic search traffic, and divert them from Google to your business, you first must be indexed. As with any site you wish to parlay with, I simply suggest that you abide by their “Terms Of Service” (TOS). Google, even though a search engine, has a pretty strict TOS, some newer implementations, due to a wide-spread misuse, and some old TOS. Google is a Website, just like that in which many of you own, though Google has something you and I don’t; tons of money in many forms, in many places.

The question still remains, yet seems to be arising within the search marketing community – more and more, one that “I would like to touch upon today”; “The buying and selling of links.”

There are two Websites I would like to analyze, throughout this research, and those two Websites are iAcquire and that of Barry Schwartz, owner of Search Engine Round Table , whom is the editor of (Search Engine Land owned by Danny Sullivanand also editor of Marketing Land, that in which is also owned by Danny Sullivan). The reason I’m doing this documented research on these two Websites in particular, isn’t because I’m picking on them, but is because they have violated the Google TOS. Both do not hide the fact they are/have been in complete violation of Google TOS, moreover, they have their very own personal reasoning for being in/of violation. The point of this article is to point out what is going on, and to give you (the consumer) the opportunity to voice your opinions in a public setting, without being over-ran by the individual Website owners of either site, where otherwise you wanted to leave them a personal comment, voicing your opinions.

Danny Sullivan is seen above, with the head of the Google Webspam team, Mr. Cutts (Matt Cutts) I wonder who knows what?

  1. Does Matt Cutts Allow Danny Sullivan’s Editor To Openly Sell Side-Bar Links?
  2. Does Danny Ignore The Fact His Editor Is In Clear Violation Of The Google TOS, But Just Doesn’t Care?

I first came to learn of what the “high all mighty”, Search Engine Round Table (SERT) (Search Marketing Platform) was initially doing to openly violate Googles Terms of Service when I visited their site one hot summer day, while sitting here at the office, browsing through competitor Websites, taking notice of what others had to offer the search industry, and then comparing their golden decisions to those of RxSEO. While browsing Search Engine Round Table, I fell across this post. In this post, I immediately come to learn that Barry Schwartz had been selling links, in his side-bar. When I looked at the sidebar on search engine round table, I immediately began to laugh, as it is spam filled.

Take a look for yourself, or view this screenshot:

The links that are being sold are openly labeled as “Sponsored Links” those that are listed are being allowed to use whatever anchor text they would like. The anchor text, and Page Rank deception is being used for anchor links such as:

  • Jerry West – SEO Testing
  • Convonix SEO
  • SEO India
  • SEO
  • Search Engine Optimization
  • Optimum7 Marketing
  • Brandfluent Digital SEO
  • SEO

Can you really and truly say that you blame Google for updating with the Penguin update or Panda? Todays date is August 3rd, 2012, yesterday Google updated their Page Rank. It just so happened, I once again accidentally fell across this same Website, in which I was not surprised to read the post, which was put in front of me. The article was pertaining to the Google toolbar page rank update, and in it Barry Schwartz couldn’t help to break the news of how his (Search Engine Round Table) page rank nose dived from a Page Rank 7 to a Page Rank 3.

My first instincts told me that they had obviously removed many links from their link profile. This was until I took notice that the links in the sidebar was not tagged with the no-follow attribute tag. Google is definitely up to something, as many changes are taking place, but the fact remains that being a White hat SEO, means abiding by Google’s TOS.

 

Paid links

paid links quote spamGoogle and most other search engines use links to determine reputation. A site’s ranking in Google search results is partly based on analysis of those sites that link to it. Link-based analysis is an extremely useful way of measuring a site’s value, and has greatly improved the quality of web search. Both the quantity and, more importantly, the quality of links count towards this rating.However, some SEOs and webmasters engage in the practice of buying and selling links that pass PageRank, disregarding the quality of the links, the sources, and the long-term impact it will have on their sites. Buying or selling links that pass PageRank is in violation of Google’s Webmaster Guidelines and can negatively impact a site’s ranking in search results.Not all paid links violate our guidelines. Buying and selling links is a normal part of the economy of the web when done for advertising purposes, and not for manipulation of search results. Links purchased for advertising should be designated as such. This can be done in several ways, such as:

  • Adding a rel=”nofollow” attribute to the <a> tag
  • Redirecting the links to an intermediate page that is blocked from search engines with a robots.txt file

Google works hard to ensure that it fully discounts links intended to manipulate search engine results, such as excessive link exchanges and purchased links that pass PageRank. If you see a site that is buying or selling links that pass PageRank, let us know. We’ll use your information to improve our algorithmic detection of such links.”

 

“Search Engine Round (below) The Table” is in-fact in clear violation of Google TOS, but before you fall out of your office chair with laughter, take a look at what the owner of Search Engine Round Table (Barry Schwartz) has said about Paid Links, and such! Will This Openly Effect Search Engine Land?

BANNED – Not Me SAYS BARRY SCHWARTZ! While he openly laughs at others for being banned for selling links or buying them (whatever – spam is spam in my book) The image states. Is Barry Schwarts accepting money from poor customer whom aren’t taught any better from this self-proclaimed search markeing leader, turning right around and trying to get them banned, after he receives (your) his link buying customers money via Paypal? The truth lies just below. (pay attention to the low-quality content I link to, as it is tagged as nofollow.)

Will seRoundtable (Barry Schwartz) Remove The Paid Links Now That Their PR Has Nose Dived To a Tiny Little PR3?

 Not So Much The Religious Angel He Puts On?
With that being said, let’s return back to the TOP of this post, and once again take a good little look at the search market shares, and keep in mind that Barry Schwartz is, or should I say was selling his links for $350.
Let’s take into consideration that Barry Schwartz has NOT (yet) BEEN deIndexed from the Google search engine as like “ALL OTHERS HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST.” (review links above)
Now let’s take into consideration that seRoundtanle lost more page rank yesterday, which was previously a 7, yet now a 3. In your own opinions, can you please comment below, letting us know if YOU think Barry Schwartz will still be able to sell his PR3 links for the once price of $350.
He states that the site is his, and he can do what he wants with it, and well, the site is his, that’s very true. While a PR7 link “might” be well worth $350 a month for some, and “might” justify the income, over what the Google organic search traffic might possibly convert – the price of a PR3 will be approx $10. This will not justify the loss of Google organic search traffic.
If Barry Schwartz does in-fact decide to remove the link spam from the side-bar of seRoundtable, this will not only be very unfair to those spammers (lol) whom have been paying the unreasonable amount for them, but it should open ip the heart of this business and show all of you its true colors. Meanwhile Barry Schwartz talks about how shitty Google is for striving for more and more ad revenue.

Now Let’s Look at iAcquire

iAcquire is an SEO company. Truthfully, in my opinion, a low-quality one at that (one who buys links for their clients, as they can’t create quality links for their clients) . I had NEVER knew they existed until I came across a post one day, around the end of this past Spring (i think), as the Summer season was just getting ready to come into bloom here in the beautiful state of Kentucky. iAcquire was called ou 9snitched on) by Josh Davis of LLSocial. Of course search engine round the table poked their Gog fearing rotten, link selling nose in it too! Shortly after this occurence, iAcquire was no longer found in Google, and there was a Penguin update.

Never the less iAcquire was found guilty by Google for buying links, from spammed out sites, for their client which just happened to be a HUGE COMPANY “DUNN AND BROADSTREET.

iAcquire Was deIndexed By Google and Penalized – So Would You If You Was Caught

What makes search engine round table any different? Maby it’s the obvious fact that Mr. Barry Schwarts is so close to the employees at Google. A long-time Google treasurer, someone looked down upon (upon) by many, many people all around the globe; John Mueller. Are they long time friends?

In Conclusion of The Google Violation Epidemic

I’m in no way stating that barry schwartz is performing illegal activity, between himself and that of “elderly John”, but I am speculating the fact. Seems to me, no matter how you look at it, or from what side of the globe, there sure seems to be a lot of “something” going on here, and until we are able to break the news, we will only be able to speculate further.

As this is all the information I’m allowed to publish publicly, as soon as Part #2 of this story is released from our press room, it will be published. I feel deep within my heart, that if we (RxSEO) are abiding by Google’s TOS you (Barry Schwartz) should have to also. As a search marketing geek, it is my duty to piggy back from the more heavy hitters, and follow the rules of the game, if I want to play. RxSEO has a 100% success rate% and have always achieved the desired results of all our clients, and have done so, by following the Google TOS. I take pride in being able to say that, and know within my heart that what I’m saying is true. As per what my post has pointed out to eacjh of you, I suggest that you start treading your Web waters more lightly, and stop believing a pretty picture. Photoshop is now used by more than 50% of the Web, and I’m not just talking about the software, I’m talking about deception, my friend.

Do You Know Of Any Closet Black Hat’s?

As time evolves, at what seems like the speed of light, so does the industry of search marketing. If you’re an SEO, Webmaster or a teenager who just enjoys spending some of your time online, and know anything at all about marketing, then you’re already aware of the money (profit) that is involved in obtaining a page one ranking within Google. Google maintains a huge % of the overall “search market share”, and this is just one of the very small reasons why there are so many marketers whom practice in strategies that are completely against Google’s terms of service (TOS). Google is constantly updating their algorithms, doing all they possibly can to keep spammers and the like from spamming their search engine.

So What, Screw Google – Right?

SEO is an evolving business, it’s constantly changing the way Websites are ranked in the SERP, due to the constant prowl for new loop-holes within the system (Google). In the search marketing industry, you have those in which we refer to as White hat SEO’S; these are the good guys. A White hat SEO is someone who abides by Google’s TOS, and doesn’t practice spam techniques. A white hat SEO maintains a legitimate marketing performance, and often times will obtain a long term business success. Then again as like in any sport, there are those who will try and cheat the system, by using no so legitimate methods. Then, well…we have that fine line, as some like to refer to a “grey hat”. Either way you want to wear your hat, “white hat SEO is and will always be the way any legitimate company markets their business, and that of their customer.

Do You Have  a Dirty Little Secret?

Sure, most of us do. That’s besides the point. WHt bothers me, as I’m sure that the same bothers you too, is when someone claims to be one thing, and all the while isn’t telling the whole truth about the story. I mean, is it alright to not tell the whole truth, but…only tell what you know others would like to hear? I’m not speaking down on anyone here, I want that to be known, before the bugs begin to crawl from the bag.

I was searching the Web, as I do daily, looking through the SERP, as that is my job and I’m a little shocked by what I find, to be honest. Two “White-hats” have written two different articles on link buying, but both have so much in common, it seems as though it was a planned piece of content of both these gentlemen’s conscious.. One of them is David Wallace, a “so called” Whitehat SEO who moderates at highrankings.com/forum.  The other, very nice fella is Rand Fishkin ( I would of never thunk it); a SEO consultant that many may know about (SEOmoz founder).

First; David wrote this article:

http://www.searchrank.com/blog/2007/08/link-seller-caveats.html

Rand (unbelievably) wrote this crap;

http://www.seomoz.org/blog/the-art-of-buying-links-under-the-radar

Read this one about Danny Sullivans editor; Barry Schwartz:

http://www.rxseo.net/right-or-wrong-seroundtable-in-open-violation-of-google-tos/

The underlaying theme in both articles is trying to convince the general public (website owners) that buying a link from a spam site is the same as submitting your site to the Yahoo! Directory and paying for the “editorial review”. In RxSEO’s book, this can’t be any further from the truth. To begin with; a directory is very different from a regular website (most are now de-indexed or penalized) . Yahoo! is in-fact one of our most favored directories, on the web. :)

Google wants an incoming link to be a VOTE from the site to your site. Anytime you are buying a link with the understanding that the site is going to be showing your “ad” on their site, that link cannot be a “vote” for your site. Why the heck are otherwise smart people thinking that it’s a good thing to go out looking for “undetectable” links?

Contact Rand Fishkin When Buying Links…

Please explain to me how purchasing a link from “sourav sieam’s” (john doe) website, or anyone for that matter, be the same as submitting a URL to “Yahoo! Directory” for a “editorial review” in their directory? Use the comment form below to help me understand…

Both articles have many similarities. The fact that they both want to find “loopholes and tricks” (schemes) in the ability of Google to detect “paid links”.

Please take your time to read what Google has to say about buying paid links here (so that I don’t have to repeat myself in this article, from a post I wrote the other day) :   http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66356

I want to just say, be very careful who you trust in this industry. Until you take the time to dig, you’ll never know what ones past contains. I wonder at what point in these guys career, did they notice that Black hat SEO wasn’t a very successful career choice?

My Conclusion

Always be very, very careful as to what links you place on your site. Make sure you always use the rel=”nofollow” tag, when in doubt of your trust, for that site, in which you are about to link to. You never know where a mans mind might be in a couple of years from today! :)

Content marketing, that is. Haven’t you heard, everyone is talking and writing about it, it seems since the launch of Google’s Panda and Penguin updates, everyone has been focusing on pumping out content. I’m really surprised at what in increase on new content there is for me to take part in, within my email inbox, on a daily basis, these days. Content is a hot topic. Still the question remains, what makes content great? Does it have more to do with the actual uniqueness, visual appeal, social shares, informativeness, tons of backlinks or in your opinion, is it all of the above?

Are you one of the many whom believe that the greatness of content can not be measured, and that the sole definition per great content is subjective—–then I strongly advise for you to reconsider your views, or at least place them on temporary hold, throughout the remainder of this post, especially if those contents in which you’ve developing have been for commercial intent.

Truth is; if a piece of content isn’t adding value to the bottom-line of your business/Website then you really can’t consider it to be great quality content. Chances are, you might very well have an extremely difficult time justifying the cost of your companies cost per production, much sooner, rather than later especially a large amount of your companies budget toward content development and marketing it each month, with no apparent return on investment in monetary terms. Keep reading, and allow me to help justify the cost, for you in R.O.I

The Marketing Worlds Definition of Great Quality Content

The marketing industry as a whole pretty much sums up great content, when they refer to in-depth studies on blog post, awesome infographics, videos, etc. Though a great piece of content is something that is frequently viewed (justified by society) prior to conversations or transactions, thus leading to an R.O.I via your Website. Is there a actual formula in which we can calculate greatness? Some enthusiast may consider the following to be a calculation through speculation:

“Great Content = (Total Revenue which the content helped in generating + Total Value of the conversions which the content completed) / Number of unique pageviews of the content prior to conversions or transactions”

 

The above quote comes from Google Analytics (GA), and is a definition in which GA calculates economic value, value that is added by a piece of content to your bottomline in monetary terms. The metric which is used by GA to calculate greatness within content is known by Google as “page value“ (formerly known as $index value).  Let’s take a more in-depth look at page value, shall we?

Case Study:

What is an info-graphic’s worth?

Let’s assume that the production cost of our info-graphic is $400.00 (no taxes)

Let’s also assume that the overall marketing cost of our (case study) info-graphic is right at $100 (no taxes)

Total Cost = $500

Once this info-graphic has been published through a Website, we would need to know what Website visitors did after finding this info-graphic. I’m not simply talking about measuring social sharing here or the overall sum of backlinks the info-graphic acquired here, we’re looking at determining the sum of visitors in which (completed our funnel) completed a conversion or made a purchase after viewing the info-graphic. This is where the R.O.I will take place.

Let’s assume that the visitors who visited our info-graphic, made a purchase net-worth $150 and completed conversions totaling a net-worth of $50 just after viewing our info-graphic. Allow us to also assume our info-graphic received a total of 200 unique page views, prior to conversions.

 

The Quality of Our Info-Graphic Totaled:

(Total Cost + Total Goal Value)/Number of unique pageviews of the infographic prior to conversions.

                                                         = ($150+ $50)/200 = $1

Google Analytics measure this by “page value“. One would have to go to the “all pages” report inGoogle Analytics and configure the report by ‘page value’

This report provides us with the maximum value added by a particular “piece of content“, and shows us that the business bottomline is $10. Our lovely little (pretty) info-graphic added a value of $1. (which is not showed in the report)

We have now learned that an info-graphic adds very little, to no value to our (any) businesses bottom-line. You will need to do such comparisons when you’re measuring the overall profitability(quality) from a piece of content.  A “page value” of $1 does not mean anything. It’s only a ranking metric which means it’s a metric which is only useful compared with other pieces of content, from within the same site.

 

Still in doubt?

Still in doubt concerning the performance of a infographic? Then tie the following metrics to your infographic (in our case) using a custom report through Google Analytics:

Use: transactions and revenue, conversion value and conversion volume

If you are a super Geek, you will off course head to the ‘Assisted Conversions’ report (under Multi channel Funnels Report in Google Analytics), select ‘landing page URL’ as primary dimension and then note down the assisted conversion volume and assisted conversion value of your infographic:

 

Let’s assume our assisted overall conversion value of an info-graphic was $150.

The total economic value added by our info-graphic to the business bottom line

= Total Revenue which the infographic helped in generating +

Total Value of the conversions which the info-graphic completed +

Total value of the conversions which our info-graphic assisted.

$150 + $50 + $150 = $350

 

Being that the overall economic value of $350 is less than the production and marketing cost of our info-graphic ($500), we have suffered a loss of $150. Now, do we have a negative return on our investment? Not necessarily. We have recovered a little more than 50% of our production and marketing cost. Moreover the infographic also helped in generating a bit of social sharing and links which helped to improve our brand visibility and assisted in our SEO.

 

How Can I justify My Huge Content Marketing Budget?

 

Let’s suppose we have a client come to you, who’s content marketing budget is right at $25000/month. In this case, reporting social shares and links isn’t going to help.

If those contents in which you’re producing aren’t adding monetary value to your clients pocket, then you might have a pretty damn difficult time in justifying the cost of production and marketing. One quick way to determine all those pages on your site which aren’t adding value to your business is by looking at their ‘page value’.  A page value of $0——means they haven’t added any value to your business.

What you measure as success may not be the success for others or it may not be a success at all.  Take a good look at this video in which a woman is talking about her business success to an experienced marketing/business analyst:

 What’s our take away from this?

You and your client(s)/boss needs to really be on the same page, especially when it comes to measuring success. There should be an agreement between you and your client about what can be counted as success. Often success is counted in monetary terms in the corporate world.

A contract should always be created, and signed by your client, before you jump into any task. Any task at all.

Note: You can get more details about how Google calculates page value metrics from here.

 

Social Media Doesn’t Always Mean Success!!!

Content creation and marketing can’t really be measured by social shares, etc. Of course ,social shares (lots of Tweets, etc) makes us all feel good inside, but feeling good inside doesn’t keep our business running.

Your content must add value in monetary terms and you need to be able to measure and show such monetary value. When you’re dealing with clients, it’s much different than writing for yourself.

Of course you might very well find exceptions every now and again, and I’m not generalizing anything here.  I’m simply presenting my analysis of a couple of fairly large websites, in my opinion.

Info-graphics have proved to be the least profitable, throughout all of the content we have analyzed, over the years. Info-graphics don’t convert well. When was the last time you reviewed an info-graphic, and was like, oh let me just go ahead and buy that item? Info-graphics are found to be a better way to promoting brand value, rather than anything else.

So unless you can afford to gamble with a couple of grants or have in-house capacity,I would suggest you to stay far, far away from producing info-graphics for yourself or your client.

One of the biggest mistakes you can possibly make is that of producing content that is irrelevant to your market.  If you can’t align your content creation/marketing goals with that of your business goals, then you seriously can’t expect to see improvements in your income (bottom line). . . . Plain and simple!

I would really appreciate learning about your experiences, please use the comment form below to ask questions, and provide information.-Measuring your Content Marketing Goals

RxSEO started out as an “online marketing and search engine optimization company, years ago, here in Kentucky. We started out as an online marketing and SEO Firm, in anuther domain name, and recently re-branded, throughout this past year. During the time we’ve spent within our new clothes (domain name), a nice newly brandable domain name, we have experienced a huge increase in our bottomline. We didn’t necessarily set out to conquer our small town, here in Morehead Kentucky, but—-that’s what’s happening, and to be honest, I couldn’t be more happy! :)

As a Local SEO and Internet Marketing service provider, I started to think to myself——well..since I’m doing such a good job at marketing for my clients online, why not set out and help those business owners, right here in my hometown. The more I thought about things, the more I started to feel like I wasn’t making enough money, well it wasn’t so much so that I wasn’t making enough money, it was the sole fact that the door was wide open, to further my career, here at home—while making a name for myself.

Growing up, as a kid, I started working online at the age of 15, while at the same time I dropped out of school, and started to work for my father. While I’m surely not going to get too deep into my teenage years, I will say that, I managed my own sub-contracting company for my dad from the age of 15, till the age of 24 or so. At that time I started to take my street smarts, and put them into use, while benefiting from them—while implementing the power of the internet. I suppose growing up wasn’t all sugar and sweets, but being that I grew-up in the age of the internet, it has come to my rescue, later in life. I got really tired of going to work everyday, having to be surrounded by construction workers and the hot sun shine. Today I can sit in an office, while surrounded by air-conditioning and family, while working at the same time.

More about offline marketing. What I done to get started here in my local community was, I went out and invested $50 into 1k awesome business cards, and when I went out for lunch, and etc on a daily basis, I would simply pass those business cards out at the stores and restaurants I visited, and sooner, rather than later I started to receive calls from local business owners, asking me how I could help them. It wasn’t easy getting started here in my community, as like anything else in life, it took sheer dedication and lots of very hard work.

Being that I already owned a successful, very nicely established Website, it did help a bit. On my business cards, I added my Website URL, services, name and telephone number, and added a great little design to make them look professional.

Where I live isn’t a big city. In-fact, where I live is a very small town. If I can do it, you can too. Morehead Kentucky is a disadvantage, in my opinion, due to the fact that everyone here seems to be stuck in the past. When you mention the “internet” to anyone around here, they look at you like you’ve just mentioned a scientific algorithm. They literally look at you like your a full blown nut. It takes some convincing, and to be honest, without my Website being fully established, with tons of great content on it, I don’t think I could of convinced several clients to understand what SEO, and some of my other internet marketing services are.

The internet is a huge place, as we all very well know. Thus marketing your business via the internet, is really hard. There’s nothing easy about it, and I do admit that. Though what the greatest portion of you folks fail to understand is that everything you’re aiming to do, takes time. Chances are, those of you who are currently extremely impatient, are ones with new Websites, with HUGE goals.Am I right? Well, to be honest, there’s nothing what so ever having a new site, and also having huge goals, the key there for you guys is to give it time. I can’t stress that time factor enough. Time is what creates success online. Now, during that time period of awaiting your goals, it’s best to consistently work toward them.

Where most folks fail is when they start becoming impatient.  This is the point where most begin to attempt “tricks” and not so good techniques. I’ve seen this happen, more than just several times.

Start focusing your attention toward generating a quality Website, and stop focusing yourself with the “now”. Modern society is too caught up in the “now”. But I’m not going to get into that. I think that would make for a whole new article.

Whether you manage a business that focuses on Web Design in KentuckySearch Engine Optimization SEO in Loisville, or whatever type of company, marketing your business offline is feasible, no matter where you are located.

I will continue to keep you guys up to date with how we are doing with our offline marketing. I would love to move into a much nicer, more roomier office some day very soon, so, like you I too am working very hard toward my goals.

Benefit’s Of a WordPress Ping-List

Huge Ping List Free!

Pinging offer’s some really great opportunities and I’d like to just cover a couple of those for you, to show you how you can start to better benefit from pinging your very own link’s. To Ping your link’s is the process of “tapping Google and a load of other places, to just say, hey I have a new link”, and that will not only help them to find your link’s in record time, but it also increases the speed in which your link’s are indexed. Another example would be, when you create a new blog post, within your site, it’s a great idea to ping your new post, so that search engine’s will know you’ve updated.

It’s not alway’s a great idea to ping your new backlink’s if you’re creating too many at one time. In that case, which I do NOT stand behind ( http://rxseo.net ), I suggest that you let Google and other’s locate them at their own pace.

I had the intention’s of providing a very brief tutorial on “Benefit’s Of a WordPress Ping-List“, and Your New List!, it’s self explanatory, so for you, today I have created a huge Ping-List. I have not had time to clean it for duplicate’s, which doesn’t matter. Here is your new ping-list:

Important: If you aren’t utilizing a Ping Plugin, I suggest you download and upload one, to keep you from pinging the same ping site more than once at a time, this will completely reduce your chances of being marked as a spam site, and we wouldn’t want that.Be sure you do this. . .

Go ahead and ad this to your WordPress site, and save it,once you’ve done that it’s good to go! You’ll start seeing a lot more bot’s crawling your site, indexing your page’s, post’s and etc in lightning speed! -Benefit’s Of a WordPress Ping-List and Your New List!

March 2012 Netcraft done a website survey and discovered 644,275,754 active websites. This is the precise calculation of active website’s that are online, and this number doesn’t include the number on non-active website’s. As a professional blogger, I couldn’t help but to wonder how many quality, highly traveled through by visitors, successful blogs there are online. Seems by looking at how many website’s there are online in 2012, creating a successful blog isn’t easy. Though I beg to differ. Creating a successful blog doesn’t take no where near the amount of time it has taken 90% of the webmasters who created these 644,275,754 active websites. Out of these active website’s, how many would you say are successfully profitable?

Creating a profitable, successful blog doesn’t have to be as difficult as most of you are making it. I’d like to dig in a bit and show you how to create a successful blog, and give you a step by step pattern to follow. I know by now not everyone will follow my advise, and not everyone who visit’s this page will even read the post in full. Understanding your target market is one of the many strategies you need to implement to create the typle of platform you want. I admit, creating a successful blog isn’t the easiest thing in the world, if it was everyone on earth would be bloggers, thank goodness that isn’t the case, if it was the web would be more competitive than what it already is.

Speaking of competitiveness, the web is like a pool of sharks. That’s why networking is so easy. “In fact it’s so easy, a caveman could do it.” If you expect the developement os a successful website or blog to be easy, your’e on the wrong blog. I’m going to show you how to develope a successful blog, but I’m going to keep it real with you, and nothing short of that.

The characteristics of Creating a Successful Blog

If your’e a blogger or experienced webmaster or a newbie, pay attention. When deciding you are going to create a successful blog, the first thing you’ll need to do is decide what Content Management System (CMS) to develop your blog on. WordPress is going to be your best decision, no matter your point of expertise or inexperience. Though I’m going to assume (blindly) that most – if not all of you already have a website and want to know how to get it to go viral, get your name to go viral, how to create a successful blog, and how to start generating profit through your blog once and for all.

First thing’s first, before the implementation of Search Engine OptimizationContent Management and all the other great ways of establishing your blog in search engines, you have to put a good deal of time into your Website Architecture of your website and focus on your design. Things such as SEO don’t come until later. If you haven’t done things in the order I’m explaining, chances are you need to back up a little and get things straightened out a bit, before rushing ahead. Ever heard the old saying, you have to crawl before you walk? Well…

I realize that many of you have been in the business for many, many years, but some of us was taught wrong, or started off on the wrong foot, there;’s nothing wrong with investing time into our knowledge.

To focus your attention toward your website architecture, you’ll need to do some very in depth research on how to implement website architecture or hire a professional to manage your website architectural needs for you.

Once you have gotten your site developed and are happy with it’s beautiful design, you can them move on to concerning yourself with creating a successful, very profitable blog.

I am a fan of Google (I love Google) as many of you already know, and Google can be a huge help to all of you throughout the process of many of the following strategies. Google has just developed a very beneficial Webmaster help platform and gives you some great ideas of how to develop a successful site, and shows you the qualities a great site have, along with many SEO methods.

How To Create A Successful Blog

The strategies that take a lot of time to implement are normally the strategies that you need to be focusing yourself with. I’m very aware of how many of you are implementing the use of website’s such as those similar to Fiverr, to hire low quality individuals to create very, very low quality (Junk) Links.

Let’s take a good look at some of the more beneficial strategies you need to be focusing yourself with, the ones that work and work very well to date (post Penguin and Post Panda).

  1. Guest Posting (Getting Links) On Industry Leaders Quality Website’s
  2. Quality Content Development (Extremely Important)
  3. Having High Standards About The Content You Post (Allow To Be Posted On Your Blog)
  4. Networking
  5. Social Media Implementation
  6. Organic Link Building
  7. Social Media Optimization
Off the top of my head, these are our most popular services and by far the most beneficial activity you could be doing while “working” or in your free time. DO NOT take any of my advise lightly. Taking advise lightly is what go you where you are today, and is most likely why you’re reading this article. We all tecnd to know how to do things properly, though doing things the right way normally takes some work, as as humans it’s only natural to be lazy. In order to build the beautifully successful blog you’ve always wanted is going to take a little work, and as long as you’re willing to put in the work, RxSEO is willing to teach you the same things that those over at SEOmoz is charging you an arm and a leg for, for FREE.
Those of you who know me know I’m willing to help anyone who’s willing to help themselves. It’s true, RxSEO even has a Skype group for marketers to Network with and help one another, while RxSEO is always logged in, helping those in need.
To find the Skype group, I’m not going to make it easy on you guys, I’m simply going to point you in the obvious direction of our “Search Bar”, use it. . .

Creating A Successful Blog

The content you create and or allowed to be published on your website, reflects on you and who you are. Just like the car you drive, the house you live it, people judge you and your expertise by your content. This is why so many others tell you it’s so important to show your personality through your content. It allows users to get a better understanding of you and become attracted to your writing.
Using images in your content also make a huge difference. I talk a lot about “Organic Link Building” on my blog. Organic Link Building is the means of allowing your content to build your links for you. Link’s do build themselves, but only if you let them. I’ve practices organic link building and letting my content build my links long before I was even getting any traffic. For those of you who have site’s that don’t get any traffic, this will be more difficult for you and for many of you with older sites, you seriously need to consider rebranding your site.
Older site’s that have used automated link building tools should seriously consider re branding. Re branding doesn’t mean you have to start over, if you need help with re branding or just have some professional questions that need a high standard answer to them, contact me, I’ll be happy to help you. I suggest all of you to keep focusing on creating high quality content and to start guest posting a lot more than what you have been, and continue as you have. For those of you who are just starting out, I’m here if you need me.

Blogging Meets Fox News

 As a blogger, I spend a ton of time on the web. I’m more than sure I’m not the only blogger online, but have you guys taken the time to wonder what those out there in the real world think of bloggers and the like? As bloggers, we understand one another. In the world of Internet Marketing, it’s our goal to build a business out of nothing. Some of us have developed very profitable brands online and other go to bed at night, dreaming of what it’d be like to just earn a natural backlink. We are very uncommon, our friends and family don’t see us as “working.” So, what do those working the average nine to five job, think of bloggers?

What Do Other People Think Of Bloggers?

As interesting as it may seem, when is the last time you asked someone what they done for a living? Most likely, you haven’t because you already know what they do and how their work details operate. Now let’s look at this side of things; the last time someone ask’d you what you done for a living, what’d you tell them? If you’re anything at all like me, you go on bragging about how great you have paved the road for yourself and go on to explain blogging and SEO to them. Take a look at this video from Fox News Now.

BlogWorld invited some really interesting guests, last week. I really enjoy following Blogworld and keeping track of the, they’re always inviting new attendees and having new speakers. A friend of a friend was able to get up with Fox News at the exhibit and and get them to do a interview.

Fox News didn’t so much go on about the things BlogWorld had done over the past years as an online marketing company, but they went on about all the great benefits of working online, and discussed how so many had clearly developed a business via the Internet, through Internet Marketing and blogging. Fox nor BlogWorld mentioned SEO or anything pertaining to SEO. I have thought of contacting Fox News myself to see if we could stir up the media to do a little more digging!

You too can email fox news at oreilly@foxnews.com. As you already know, in order to succeed online you have to keep pushing and pushing and pushing. Continuing to strive toward what we want, and never accept the words “no”. I know it get’s extremely difficult at times, working day in and day out without an income coming in at times, working and just hoping for a new client. I know how difficult many of you bloggers have it. But, I’m here backing you guys, just keep on moving forward, but more importantly we have to continue to support one another and work together as a community of bloggers.

Schema Tags & Content Markup For SEO:   What are schema tags? And what does schema tags and content markup do for SEO? Before i jump deeply into what this is all about, I just want to mention to all of my readers that I am posting this article for you via my cell phone. It’s difficult typing from such small buttons, but feel it’s important for me to do something like this to prove what it takes to succeed as a passionate SEO. There has been a lot of talk about  Schema Tags & Content Markup For SEO lately, and I’m going to clear he air.

Schema Tags & Content Markup For SEO

Not many marketers or SEOs are familiar about Schema or the use of Schema Tags & Content Markup For SEO or how it can benefit your content or websites. If you Are familiar with the old saying “content is king” the your already a fullmstep ahead of the rest of the bunch. Schema.org  offers a whole new meaning to Content. The implementation of schema tags  offers many different benefits, and is also being adopted by search engines such as Google,Bing and Yahoo.

Schema tags assist in making sure your content ranks for the “keyword term” in which you intend for it to rank. As an example, provided by Schema: the term <H1>AVATAR</H1> could possibly be a “heading one” tag for the movie Avatar, or it could very well be an article about how to use forum Avatar images, using the Schema tag now helps commercial search engines to better rank your keyword terms for the more relevant term, thus providing searchers with more relivent content.

Schema Tags & Content Markup For SEO

Some of the even more beneficial Schema Tags & Content Markup For SEO are the optimization principals. Using schema tags provide you with the opportunity to start adding even more keywords into your content. The schema SEO tags are added using the HTML editing option in wordpress. Schema.org offers an entire hiearchy that has implemented the necessary tags, and to properly implement the Schema tags, I recommend that you take advantage of therel=”nofollow” tag to all content Markup. This is very important,and should be implemented, so that you are not leaking or flowing your precious Page Rank to the webmaster over at Schema.org. Schema SEO services can now be requested here at RxSEO.net. We have viewed the source code of some of our competitors, such as SEO.COM and couldn’t help to take into consideration that the biggest sites on the web have implemented this new SEO opportunity, but my question is how long have our competitors been using Schema tags”? The better question here is how long has Your competitors been using this SEO Schema feature! -Schema Tags & Content Markup For SEO-

Below is an example of the above “example per the <h>avatar</h> explination.

Trackback Benefits of SEO: First, I would like to explain exactly what trackbacks are. I have been getting some emals lately, from marketers asking me what trackbacks are, and how they could use them for their benefit. I’m quite very upset by this. I have written several articles pertaining to this question, and have published several very beneficial articles about how to grow your website, make more money and build your backlinks “all while not having to put forth any effort”, yet I receive emails from people asking me, what are trackbacks! You know who you are, and you should be ashamed of yourself. Yes you! And if you are reading this article, and don’t know what trackbacks are, you should be ashamed of yourself too. But it’s ok, because after you read my article, you will be ready to get started building your own trackbacks.

Let’s get staretd shall we?

Trackbacks are “when someone else links to your website, or copies your article (links inluded) and puts it on their website, mentioning you as the author. Simple enough? Well, don’t get your panties in a wad just yet, because getting trackbacks from other marketers who are relivent to your niche, can be a bit tricky. How do I recommend that you get started? Well, I recommend that you start writing quality articles, using the mind that God gave you. People will naturally link to you. Do keep in mind that trackbck links can be more valuable than let’s say; Ten tarckback links are more of quality and are more valued than Ten thousand spam links. So, in my world, their worth achieving.

Trackback Benefits of SEO: As stated in the last paragraph, trackback links offer many benefits. I am going to let you guys know that “you are very welcome to copy any of my articles,” and promote them on your website(s). I write all of the content that you find on RxSEO.net, other than the obvious “guest posts“. Speaking of guest posting, we are also accepting guest post offers, guest posting is something that I am not seing enough of. Not very many of yo are wanting to put forth the needed effort that is absolutely necissary in order to make money online. You want to eat of the same plate, but you don’t wana put forth any effort. For those of you who do want to putforth a bit of work, and have some fun at the same time, hey, all you have to do is email me, and tell me that you have some interesting content “that you wrote”, and I will allow you to post your content on my site. This is a great way to promote your website and drive some traffic. But hey, your life is ” what you make of it.” I’m just here to help.

Like I was saying, “let’s build some trackbacks.” I have always loved sports, and I am a firm believer in team effort. Working as a team surely gets things done at a much better rate. Get your butt in gear and start adding quality content to that website of yours, and stop dreaming of what it’d be like to have a million visitors a month, visit your website. Grab a article of mine, and post it on your site, to help you get staretd. Be sure to keep my links in the article, and add me to the bottom as the author. These are just a few Trackback Benefits of SEO. I wish each and everyone of you the best of luck, but remember, it’s solely up to you to have a better life. Noone else can do it for you.

Trackback Benefits of SEO and How To Get Free High Quality Content

As an SEO consultant of many years I am by far one of he most passionate SEOs on the web. I have no doupt in mind that I am a far more passionate SEO than many of the designer name brand) SEO pansies, but I don’t want to name them all, not here . Though, during my time as an SEO, I have passionately devoted my time to my clients, and throughout my time as an SEO I have personally created many websites. As an SEO I hate those SEOs who write articles talking about “their SEO services”, and moreover I hate wanabe SEOs. In this day and age, you  marketers better be damn careful whom you invest with. Not everyone is an SEO, and most veteran SEOs don’t have what it takes to be an SEO. I had a client ask me yesterday, “if it’d be a wise idea to invet $50 a month or more into the DIY SEO (Do It Yourself – Search Engine Optimization) syetem”. I’m very familiar with the DIY SEO system because I have purchased it before, just to look at it. When I get it, I said to myself, “well Andy (the creator) sure has a nice user friendly interface.”

After looking a bit deeper into the subject at hand, I looked under the hood of the DIY SEO “web based software”. To be honest, I would not give the DIY SEO software a 1 out of a SEO score 10. And to be honest, this just goest to show you guys once again that “no SEO software is worth investing in” WHY? Because SEO is not an automated process.

Google AdWords PPC: The Cheapest SEM Strategy for Small & Local Businesses

Maby there are some small businesses out there who would just like to rank for their own business name or two to three long tail keywords. These businesses primarily rank for those few keywords via their content and domain name alone. Doesn’t take rocket science to rank for your business or domain name does it? For those businesses, I strongly suggest that you skip the entire SEO process, and invest a little money into the Google Adwords PPC campaign. If you are only wanting to rank for local terms or your business name, using Google Adwords would definitely prove to be very beneficial. Using Google Adwords is also a great idea for all local businesses, because you only have to pay for the clicks that your targeted add receives. Since you are a local business, not targeting huge key terms you won’t receive a ton of clicks, and what clicks that your add does receive will be very targeted. By all means you want to avoid DIY SEO  and I will go into more detail within the next paragraph.

A Legitimate SEO Investment Requires Investment

With a PPC (Pay Per Click), SEM (Search Engine Marketing) campaign, you can very easily use Google ads to buy search traffic  and close new customers. SEO is a long term drawn out strategy & typically requires a much deeper initial investment. Many lack the understanding of Search Marketing and do not understand such an investment. This is quite sad.

“I find very little value in investing into a Search Engine Optimization campaign, unless you plan to dominate your search market, and there is sufficient market scale to justify investing thousands of Dollars (and far more when you consider the value of your time). After all, a single link from Business.com or the Yahoo! Directory will run you $299, and 2 links hardly makes for an effective SEO strategy – but they will set you back $600 a year ($600 minimum for two links).”

The size of your business is irrelevant :)

DIY SEO Scam?: Why Is DIY SEO such a Very Poor Marketing Idea

So, back to the venture of DIY SEO. After I looked into DIY SEO deeper and deeper, I couldn’t help but to tell myself  ”something just isn’t right here“. Why would these fellas of raised so much ruckus  and raised funding to have build such a THING? Well..After thinking things through, DIY SEO was designed by marketers to sell something like  SEO at scale price. It was not created out of passion to offer a solution to a marketers true problem, or to make a difference in real peoples real lives. The difference isn’t subtle!

After thinking about all of that, I mean Andy was a lazy marketer, one of those who had the time to generate thousands of poorly created affiliate websites, “while being too damn lazy” andnot having enough concern for his own website or blog to fix it’s maleware problems. Everyone whom visited that website while he was initially promoting DIY SEO was infected with maleware. (likely he had pissed the wrong person off, one too many times) Andy’s blog had the tagline and title; Livin’ the dream, but that is for him though…you can live with malware. He doesn’t give a crap if you lived or died. (honestly)

Now think about it like this, could you for a second imagine a reputable SEO blog such as SEO-Theory.com, SEO.com, Local-SEO-Company.net or anyone of these sites not taking care of their maleware problem for more than three months? I can not justify that laziness, and couldn’t for one second imagine treating my company that way!

Hiring An SEO Firm Is So Expensive

DIY SEO WAS DESIGNED THAT IT IS SO AUTOMATED THAT IT WOULDN’T REQUIRE ANY SUPPORT.

Once again I would like to mention to you guys; Throw your SEO tools away. Why? SEO is not an automated process, and you do not offer that crap to your clients whom are expecting results. You should be ashamed of yourself if you have ever performed link building or any SEO process for a client using automation tricks. While doing SEO, a lot of potential profit comes from knowing and understanding your market, leveraging new technologies & distribution channels to gain market share, and ading a twirl on old SEO ideas. DIY SEO (Andy and Patrick of DIY SEO) tried to make “SEO TRANSPARENT”.far too mechanical. If you use or have used DIY SEO you can count on none of your SEO being done with DIY SEO, just some predetermined SIDEWALK which doesn’t really account for ANYTHING that makes your business and your market “unique”. IT ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH TO RANK ON PAGE 6 FOR A LONG TAIL KEYWORD.

Paint by Number SEO: An SEO Failure Case Study

Google doesn’t always respond to marketing efforts in a predictable way. Consider what happened when Patrick purchased SearchEngineOptimization.net for over $60,000.

At the end of last year he tried to do a 301 redirect to get it to rank, but when it didn’t work he asked Matt Cutts about it.

Google’s spam czar Matt Cutts never responded (of course), but Patrick ended up having to remove that redirect. Months later that $60,000+ domain name was a “coming soon” page.
