Mistake 1: Not Researching Keywords Thoroughly Enough

Keywords form the basis of SEO and the way the world uses the internet at large. No matter how much content you pump into your website or how often you update it, it will not yield much traffic unless it is fortified with relevant and “high-result” keywords.

Google Adwords Pay Off (for Google)!

We know that Google is popular. In our pop culture, we often hear and say, “Hey I’m going to ‘Google’ that.” When was the last time you heard someone say, “Hey, I’m going to ‘Bing’ that.” No offense, Bing, “Just Sayin.”

New Infographic and Study Shows that Negative SEO Is Alive and Well

Search engine optimization continues to be one of the most lucrative professions in the online development industry, and that’s for a pretty good reason. Google continues to update its search engine ranking algorithms, first unleashing its Google Panda modification and then treating the world to Google Penguin the next year. These two updates have focused almost entirely on relegating so-called “junk websites” to the back of the line when a user searches for their content using their top keywords. Junk websites are identifiable in a number of ways, including their adherence to emphasizing and overly repeating keywords, filling the site with over-the-top advertising, and placing a high number of wasteful, junky links all over the site’s design.

These things are now easy to spot by Google’s advanced Panda and Penguin algorithms and, in fact, Google Penguin was designed almost exclusively to prevent the proliferation of wasteful links. The algorithm’s effectiveness was recently tested by a leading search engine optimization firm, which placed tens of thousands of these wasteful links all over a well-regarded website which placed on the first page of Google search results. Five weeks and $45 later, that website was no longer an authority in its niche. Its space on the front page was done away with, and Google relegated it to the “back pages” of spam, junk, and newcomers. The lesson? Write and link to content with purpose and good reason, or Google will have a pretty good reason to send a website to the back of the line.

SEO: A Walk Down Memory Lane

January 14, 2012 by Deborah Anderson

I was taking a walk down memory lane a few weeks back, as I was perusing through the weekly column that I wrote in the early part of this century. It was called “Web Tips.” (Watch for it, I will post some archives, for fun, on this site. :)) It brought to mind the pre-blog era, when ezines ruled and there was an excitement and newness in the world of the web. In that, there was this new thing called “Search Engine Optimization” (SEO).

I was intrigued by the analytical requirements of SEO. I was fascinated by the ability to reach that first page of search engine results, and the challenge to get there before my competitors!
