Rethink the keywords you optimize for your blog or website! I’m here to talk about the top mistakes that people make in SEO in relation to keywords, which in turn, basically guarantee that they will never reach the top of Google. |
| Let’s say that I’m starting an online shop focusing on baby products. The problem that most people encounter in relation to keywords, is that they use terms like “baby products” without recognizing their popularity or exploring other options. |
| consider online entities like Babies-R-Us and Graco that have hundreds of thousands of dollars to commit to online marketing. Large companies like these dominate the online marketing world because they have almost unlimited resources while, sadly, you do not. |
| Also, consider how search engines like Google rank sites: the shorter the keyword, the more searches you will have. Therefore, the shorter the keyword or phrase, the harder it is for you to rank number one in Google |
Internet marketers, beware! Google’s new search engine, Google Caffeine, could change the way your e-commerce site is ranked, especially when it comes to single and two-word key phrases. | Right now, Google is not doing a good job of searching through social-media sites, like Twitter and Facebook. So the company is working on a new version of its popular search engine that will add them to the mix and shake up other sites’ rankings for certain keywords. |
| They pointed out six ways the new search engine will dramatically affect online marketers’ strategies. For instance, 15 percent of all first-page rankings were different for the 40 keywords used in the study. Amazingly, the single keywords and two-word phrases saw 50 percent of their first-page results change with the new search engine. |
| The reason for this big change is the fact that Google Caffeine is focusing more on keyword relevance and it’s steering away from blogs and wikis in favor of social media, video, music, photo and other sites previously outside of its search capability. |
How does Microsoft Bing’s visual search really stack up? Will this ever get better? | The other day, I had an image in my mind of a strange object and I wanted to find a picture of it online. The only problem was I didn’t have a clue what it was called. The image in my head was of a scene in “Superman II” |
| Luckily, my resourceful coworker found it on Amazon.com, I believe. I could now put a name to an image – Newton’s cradle! |
| This story illustrates my need for a visual search engine and not simply a text-based one. Luckily, Microsoft and Google are both heading in that direction. |
| None of the Bing Visual Search galleries look like they would help me find Newton’s cradle because they mostly include people, entertainment and electronics. But it’s new, so I’m willing to cut Microsoft some slack. I’m sure they will get better as they get a feel for what people are (literally) looking for.Read more at www.submitsolution.com |
Companies are wondering how Bing is going to affect their SEO and whether or not they should make the extra effort to cater to this “Decision Engine”s way of doing things. Microsoft released Bing (formerly known as MSN Search) just a few months ago with more than $80 million being spent in promoting it. An issue that has been brought up was whether the SEO rankings of companies would be affected. If Bing becomes more increasingly popular, then companies will need to start catering their SEO techniques to it or else they’ll lose out on searches being made there. |
| Bing is still fairly new so many are waiting to see its long-term effects. Right now, some are saying it’s a good idea for companies to make the extra effort within the next year to increase ranking to take advantage of Bing’s advertising push. |
| Even though I don’t think Bing will be as strong as Google, I still think it’s a good idea for companies to get involved with it during this popularity burst. And if Bing does end up being a top search engine, then companies will benefit more receiving traffic from more than just Google.Read more at www.submitsolution.com |
A great opportunity for writer’s without the resources to get their work published to gain exposure. | Are books about to take a quantum leap forward? |
| The e-book industry certainly looks promising. It’s attracting top booksellers like Barnes & Noble and Amazon, as well as tech giants like Apple, Google and Sony. |
| The reason I am so excited about this development is that it has the power to dramatically cut printing costs and open the doors to up-and-coming authors to show off their work. Imagine someone writing a great work of fiction and selling it through Amazon at a fraction of the price it would be if it had to be printed, shipped and stored. That author could start earning revenue almost immediately. |
| This also gives new opportunities to people engaged in ecommerce. Instead of having to mail cumbersome documents about their services to customers, they might be able to offer them in digital form.Read more at www.submitsolution.com |
Combine SEO and PPC properly to achieve tremendous results. | The unattainable goal for many search campaigns is the ever-elusive melding of PPC and SEO tactics for bigger and better top-line results. Theoretically, the two should go together like peanut butter and jelly. |
Hasty argues PPC and SEO are completely different from each other and they accomplish their goals of higher Web traffic in distinct ways. They don’t completely mesh, but they create something better than they could alone, if they’re done right. They both have the ability to drive qualified traffic to your site and help build your revenue. |
| Not all search terms are equal when it comes to search-engine marketing. |
| With SEO, it’s essential to get your keywords right the first time. |

Any major changes could possibly affect the popularity of the site. We’ll see how it turns out! Google Inc. has tried for three years to turn YouTube into an advertising platform, and it’s now aggressively pushing new ad formats and sealing deals with media companies. |
| These deals are part of YouTube’s new revenue-generating strategy – a monumental effort the company has tapped Google veteran Salar Kamangar to oversee. More high-profile shows help it attract higher ad rates. |
While YouTube continues to lose money, Google Chief Financial Officer Patrick Pichette told analysts he was “really pleased” with YouTube’s revenue growth and said it will be profitable “in the not long, too long distant future.” Some analysts estimate YouTube’s revenue will roughly double to about $500 million in 2009, because of its advertising pushes. |
