Brute Force SEO Evolution II reviews by experts presents 12 Things You Really Should Know About SEO

Brute Force SEO Evolution II reviews by experts presents 12 Things You Really Should Know About SEO

Studies show that over 90% of all online users use search engines to find what they are looking for, whether products/services, or just plain old information.

The following twelve points will, I hope, summarize a philosophy, approach and methodology to the SEO question which is both sound and effective, along with giving some helpful insight into the industry itself.

1. Content. Content. Content.

Effective, professional, optimized Copywriting is the single, most important factor in any SEO campaign. Search engines index websites based on the content found on each page of the site. With a thorough understanding of the language and grammatical conventions combined with intensive research, to find and exploit the market focus, one can move a website to the upper echelon of the “SERP\’s” (Search Engine Results Page) in a methodical as well as ethical manner.

2. Analyze Web Logs.

Measure everything, at least twice, and then check again. While I would be the first to say that many of the procedures that make up website optimization are more art than science, one needs to take a very scientific approach to the results of the effort. This is done by methodically keeping a record of, and making an analysis of the sites web logs. There are a number of specialized software which make the job easier but at the bare minimum, one needs to keep a close eye on the site visitors and their activity while on the site. No matter how well planned the strategy, it is largely theoretical until proven by the results, which can only be measured by the logs, and a thorough analysis of their content.

3. No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google, or any other search engine.

Those who promise such feats will either optimize for such vague search term phrases (such as, “green stunted widgets with purple Polka-dots and icing”) that no one will ever likely look for, or they are making a false claim, which they have no intention of keeping, or they have an inside edge at Google, something which they will loose, quickly, when the honest folks at Google find out about it. The other option, that they will take the money and run, is worth mentioning here but I\’ll be polite.

4. Some things are just plain silly.

You don\’t need to submit your site to 50,000 search engines. Businesses which offer this service are suspect, at best. 85% of the search results on the Internet come from one search engine, which, if you have one link from an established website, or better yet, a directory, will find your site just fine, on it\’s own. Four (4) search engines account for over 90% of the traffic on the web. As for any supposed benefit which may accrue from being listed in an obscure search engine in Botswana which specializes in safaris to the Kalahari Desert and receives 7 hits per day; well, you figure it out.

5. SEO is not Pay-per-Click.

While no one would argue the effectiveness of getting increased traffic and sales, through a well planned, pay-per-click campaign, the fact remains that the conversion rates are generally low and they cease the moment the “pay” stops. With a well planned and executed SEO campaign, while results may take a bit longer, they continue to produce, and in fact grow, long after the work is done and paid for. Quite often we have found that after a thorough optimization of a site, only minor adjustments are needed on an ongoing basis, primarily related to new content and/or new items of sale or service.

6. SEO is not witchcraft, Druidism, shamanism.

Neither does it require any special chants, ceremonial fires, or vestments, though some of us do like to howl at the full moon, on occasion. There are no “Top Secret” practices which a reputable SEO can not tell a client, a judge, or his mother, for that matter. The very nature of the Internet has always been cooperative and there is nothing about SEO that can\’t be learned, with a heavy dose of time and money. A reputable SEO firm will give you an item per item breakdown of just where the money goes. Be wary if you sense a secretive atmosphere or any unwillingness to answer questions. While there are technical points which might take some background to fully understand, if one has a solid overview of the entire situation, a simple explanation should be easy enough to come up with.

7. Do-it-yourself SEO.

Yes, you can execute your own SEO campaign and find a reputable SEO firm to help plan and organize it for you. About one half of my own clientele do some part of the actual work themselves, or have their in-house dedicated personnel do it, after discussion of the goals and aims of the business/website, a thorough website analysis, comprehensive search phrase research, and focused instruction on the ways and means of achieving high SERPs. These preliminaries are followed up with a detailed program of suggestions and methods which the client can then implement themselves or hire others to perform. Average savings; 30-40%.

8. Phased Implementation.

While many companies spend thousands of dollars per month on Search Engine Optimization, an alternative is available which will pay dividends to you in increased sales and leads without the high initial investment. The most important consideration is to have a reputable firm handle the initial evaluation and suggested optimization planning first. The trial and error method will cost much more, in the long run, with or without the desired result. After studying the plan and establishing a workable budget you may implement the plan as finances allow.

9. Remember the old saying, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”

Never was this more true than in the realm of SEO. While concrete and measurable gains will always come from a well thought out and executed optimization strategy, the Internet is a competitive media and we all want to be number one. Accept that a steady upward movement, over time, will place you worlds ahead of a flash followed by a crash.

10. A thought to ponder.

At stake, in the race for the top, is the very existence of your website, your business, and quite possibly your reputation. Beware of any “shortcuts” or less than ethical schemes that anyone might suggest to further your business goals. When it\’s all said and done it is you, the business owner, who bears the responsibility for any company or individual you hire. Insist on knowing exactly what the strategy is and what steps are being performed to implement it. If it seems, in the least, suspicious, ask for and get an explanation. In this case, not only is Ignorance not bliss, it could very well be the beginning of the end for your business.

11. All incoming links are not created equal.

Both the relevance to your line of business and website subject matter and the PR value of the incoming link determine how valuable they are to your own PR ranking. With Google starting the trend, nothing new there, and most of the others following close behind, the days of grabbing all the inbound links, in any way possible, are gone. Not only will low ranked and/or irrelevant inbound links not help, they will, in fact, cause a penalty. Link farms, free-for-all link schemes, automated link accumulation software, or any other fad that doesn\’t carefully screen the links and websites they are coming from will, in the long run, do more harm than good.

12. It\’s more than just facts and figures.

The relationship between an online business and SEO is, perhaps, one of the closest of business relationships. In order to be effective, a SEO must know not only the facts and figures pertaining to the endeavor, but s/he must know something of the dreams and aspirations of the business principals. Things which don\’t normally come out in a prospectus are often invaluable information when searching for the “right fit” into the complex world of the Internet. My own clients sometimes ask, due to the frequency of my calls and email in the early phases, “Am I your only client?” I usually laugh and say something to the effect that until I know your business almost as well as you do, yes, you are the only one that counts.

5 things to look for in an SEO campaign – Fallacy of SEO Packages

5 things to look for in an SEO campaign – Fallacy of SEO Packages

Before you hire an SEO consulting firm to boost your website’s performance, search engine rankings, traffic and consequently, revenue, there are some basic precautions that you should take. It is common knowledge that without search engine optimisation, your website does not stand a chance to succeed online and so SEO becomes a prerequisite for every company. However, what the so called SEO experts do not tell you is that there are several harmful practices which can do uncontrolled harm to your web business, or even get you banned. How does one discover whether a company is genuine or not? Below are some things to look for in a web promotion or optimisation campaign -

1.      Company’s reputation – If the company which you are considering is old but still low on reputation, it might be possible that they use malpractices to promote websites. Do a thorough check on your SEO consultants and ask for references to ensure that the firm or individual is genuine.

2.      Low prices and quick results – Always note that search engine optimisation is a time consuming process which required patience and dedication. So if someone ‘guarantees’ good results such as first page rankings on Google, you can be assured that they are out to scam you. Moreover, if the prices are ‘unbelievably’ cheap, it is a sign for you to be extra careful.

3.      Black Hat and spamming – Black Hat refers to the use of unethical practices to improve a website’s ranking. Common black hat methods include cookie stuffing, link masking and cloaking, link spamming and building link farms, keyword stuffing, etc. These are practices which are shunned by search engines and usually results in the website getting banned. Ensure that your SEO expert is aware of such practises and does not employ them (this can be found out through other competing experts).

4.      Content spamming – A genuine SEO firm usually includes content writing services in their SEO packages. Ensure that they keep a healthy density of targeted keywords in the articles without going overboard. Keyword stuffing is a spamming technique and search engines penalise websites heavily for doing so. Also ensure that your meta information such as titles and descriptions have limited keywords and lots of variations of long tailed keywords. Not only does this prevent dilution in the importance of your main keywords, it helps the search engine in identifying spammy sites from genuine ones.

5.      Beware of Flash and Javascript – Agreed that flash and javascript can add oodles of eye candy to a website and make it attractive, but from the search engine point of view, they are totally useless. There are companies out there that will add loads of flash content to your website and tell you – ‘Look, your site is much more attractive now so it will rank better’. This is nonsense and you should sidestep such firms.

These are just five fallacies which anyone can encounter in a SEO package. Look out for more and you can do that by researching on the internet.

SEO is one of the most effective things

SEO is one of the most effective things

SEO is one of the most effective things you can do online, getting your web site optimized in such a way that the search engines will reward you by basically sending traffic your way. SEO is not really that simple, but the bottom line is, if your page is optimized both on page and off, you generally get higher natural search engine rankings, which leads to traffic for you The concern some people have is they believe HTML pages are more effective when it comes to being found and indexed by search engines. This is wrong. When a server side script creates a web page the resulting web page is HTML in just the same way a static HTML page is HTML. Web browsers read and understand HTML and that’s what server side scripts send to them. That is fine if you are just optimizing your website for your company name, but lets face it, most people do not know what your company name is, so by having just your company name in your webpage title it is not really doing you much good. Find sites that are relevant to your business and market, and request for links with your relevant anchor text. It is important to have a healthy mix of social, user and web communities in your link building matrix. Creating great content that other webmasters will want to link back is the best form of link baiting. Don’t participate in link exchange, reciprocal linking and automated linking exchanges. Learning SEO optimization is becoming a top choice for Internet Business builders. While this is the best solution for many entrepreneurs, this is not an automated way to market. This takes time, testing, and there is work to be completed. You can find a lot of e books, blogs, and software that claim to teach you how to get top rankings on the search engines. However it is suggested to find a mentor, or search engine training to teach you methods that will allow you to get the best results What should you know about the industry? You will probably be buying articles in bulk (provided you want to buy articles instead of write your own) and of different length, along with one or more press releases. The press release will be submitted to news directories, whereas the rest of the articles will go towards initial and daily submission to various directory sites.

Are Cheap SEO Firms and Best SEO Firms Two Different Things?

There is a saying that ‘Cheap’ and ‘Best’ do not exist together.Does that have to be true always? The internet has changed several things about business, and this is one of them. In today’s world, it is possible that cheap SEO firms and best SEO firms be the same company!If you have gone for a search engine optimization services package earlier, you will agree that it has become an extremely cost intensive program. The cost of a campaign which focuses on getting your website to the first page of the search engine result pages is pretty high, if you go the old way!

In the earlier days of search engine optimization services, the way of enhancing presence was to use tags, and a lot of them. Also, getting a lot of links and putting up huge banner ads on popular sites was the way to go. However, they were pretty resource intensive methods, and ended up costing the web master a lot more than his budget. There have been a lot of occasions where the optimization campaign went out of budget, and had to be withdrawn abruptly. However, that causes more harm, and wipes out any brand image the campaign might have created!So, there came about a different set of companies termed generically as ‘cheap SEO firms‘, and the prime focus was on delivering the best possible optimization at a budget within the reach of every single client. There have been multiple situations when entire campaigns have been done at under 100$! The whole concept of search engine optimization services has undergone a change, thanks to these companies, and the overall costs of advertising on the internet have come down.

The costs coming down do not reflect on the quality of the work however. With more and more channels of optimization in place, companies providing search engine optimization services are able to work on entire new strategies; Strategies that were not around a few years ago, like social networking, and video marketing. These new age strategies ensure that the exposure for a customer is maximum, while keeping the costs at a minimum. While looking for the best SEO firm, do ensure that you look at some of the work they have done earlier. It is always nice to see first hand experience of the work done by a company, rather than just hear say. And to do prefer an SEO firm that has a free quote system. When you ask the firm for a free quote, you can identify the various channels and the respective budgets. A simple way of identifying is by the number of channels they use for optimization. The more creative the ways, the better equipped the company, and the cost also is lower for multiple channels rather than focusing on just one single channel of optimization.So, a cheap SEO firm might also be the best SEO firm there is for your requirements.

10 Free Things You Can Do to Get Better SEO

Author admin    Category SEO Flash     Tags , ,

Have you ever wanted to drop thousands of dollars to have an SEO go through your site? Of course you have, but chances are as a small business you don’t have the funding, or aren’t comfortable with the risk of hiring a pro. So the question I’m often asked is, can I do it myself? The answer is yes, good SEOs are not born, they’re made, and you can do some simple and free things without hiring anyone or spending hours studying search engine algorithms. Here are some free SEO tips you use on your website tonight.

1. Build a sitemap.

I can’t stress this one enough. Build a sitemap, and search engines will follow. Even if it’s just a list of links on a page named sitemap.html, it’s good enough. Going out and building one according to sitemaps protocol and submitting them is even better.

2. Make your title and description enticing.

While meta tags aren’t the powerful SEO tool they used to be, search engines still use them to build a description in your listing. Make it something enticing that people will want to click. Don’t load it up with keywords, because it wont help anyway. Just make a quick message that gets them to click. Do the same with your title tag. That way when you get high rankings, people click them!

3. Make your title tags and metatags unique for each page.

Make sure the description tag and title tag is unique for every page, and describes the content of the site. (Don’t load it up with keywords). This will get more click throughs from your results, and more listings because search engines favor unique pages.

4. Get a good link from an established page.

Getting pages spidered is tough. But submitting them to search engines can take weeks. Submit as you usually would, but try to get a good link from an established site. This will get you crawled much faster.

5. Give up on keyword stuffing.

In 2002, keyword stuffing worked great. In 2008, it’s all about natural language. Google and other search engines are actively penalizing for keyword stuffing, so don’t get caught in that trap. While you want to include keywords, don’t overdo it. Read it aloud to yourself and ask “does this sound natural?”. If not, consider rewriting your text.

6. Avoid duplicates.

Are you linking back to your page with index.html in the url? This creates duplicates, as does having multiple pages with the same content. If you have a subdomain thats in a folder, use robots.txt to keep it from being spidered. Any duplicate content will end up hurting you in the long run.

7. Use alt tags and description tags.

Use image alt tags and href description tags to your advantage. Don’t overdo it, but make sure and include something in there that will indicate what the picture or link is about. As long as it’s done right, it will help you, but stuffing it with keywords will hurt. Find a happy balance.

8. Avoid Javascript or flash navigation.

While this stuff looks great, it’s not helpful for search engines. Make sure and include a backup text navigation in case flash or javascript is turned off. This helps the spiders find other pages on your site.

9. Get as much text as you can on your site.

Text is the fuel that feeds search engines. The more text, the better. Don’t stuff it with keywords, but don’t keep a few sentences on every page. Build as much text as you can, and keep it unique and tasteful.

And last, but certainly not least:

10. Focus on your content.

As they always say, content is king. Focus on getting unique, useful content on your page. This is where most of your efforts should be placed. Update frequently, and don’t delete pages later. The more unique and relevant content your site contains, the better you’ll do, so don’t skip it! Give as much information as you possibly can, and make it interesting and fun.

These tips should help you get started on the path to better search engine traffic!

How are Things With Mpeg Compression?

The family of MPEG-4 standards, using much more efficient algorithms than in the case of MPEG-2, was adopted as the basis for efficient compression for audio and video streaming. After the MPEG-4 SP/ASP (MPEG-4 Part 2), the version that came into widespread use was MPEG-4 Part 10, also designated as MPEG-4 AVC, H.264 or H264/AVC.

The first version of H.264/AVC standard was established in May 2003. It was significantly expanded in March 2005 (by adding High x profiles) and in November 2007 (Annex G – Scalable Video Coding – an addition that allows to choose the quality level corresponding to the application or capabilities of the playback device) – the 8th version of this standard. There are some finishing touches still to be done, over a collection of minor amendments and improvements. The standard also awaits introduction of Multi-view coding (allowing choice of observation point – for Free viewpoint TV (FTV) and 3D TV applications). H.264/AVC coding is used, among other things, in Blu-ray technology, and has been included in the digital television project (DVB), both for satellite and terrestrial broadcasting. It allows effective HDTV encoding. H264/AVC is also used to broadcast over the Internet (IPTV), among others, it is employed by the German Deutsche Telecom. This compression becomes the mainstream of modern monitoring systems based on IP CCTV technology, and provides the most effective and cost-efficient means of data transmission and storage.

The higher numbers of MPEG standards (MPEG-7 and MPEG-21) do not directly relate to compression algorithms, but constitute a kind of “meta-standards”. MPEG-7, using XML language, describes the content of the material/transmission. In MPEG-4 streams, through various types of indexing, it enables the user to get quick access to the interesting fragments. In most applications, the basis of indexation is the time code. MPEG-21, also based on XML, defines the rights/restrictions on the use of digital media, imposed by their authors, producers and distributors.

This kind of compression allows to reduce bandwidth and disc space consumptionup to 50% in comparison with MPEG-4 SP

Eight Things to Avoid Like the Plague in SEO

If you ask the average webmaster what’s safe and what’s risky in the realm of SEO, most will tell you to make an honest site and build backlinks, and don’t try to trick the search engines.While this is a true and good answer, it still doesn’t help you specifically with what not to do. The “bad” list or not so safe ranges from things that make it hard for a search engine spider to crawl your site to things that can get you banned.1. Entirely JavaScript / flash site a bad idea.While some JavaScript and flash add-ins can make for a great web experience, making a site entirely JavaScript or flash will make it hard for a search engine spider to crawl. This will likely result in not getting the search engine results ranking you really deserve Use regular HTML for links, and a sitemap to ensure the website can be crawled.2. Avoid excessive graphics and flash presentations.The reason for this is two fold. This is purely about visitor experience. If a web page takes too long to load (more than a few seconds), the average visitor will quickly hit the back button and you’ve lost your potential visitor. On this same token avoid very large graphics, instead using thumbnails and allowing the visitor to see a large version if they desire.3. Avoid the “quickly get submitted to thousands of search engines” deals.While many of these do what they say, keep in mind that 98-99% of all search engines are powered by Google, Yahoo, or MSN. Just keep these 3 in mind and you’re covered.4. Don’t submit your webpage to search engines too often.Submitting your webpage urn to search engines if it’s new is considered ok (though with backlinks not necessary). Search engines prefer to find your website through backlinks since that is how your webpage gets it reputation and relevance. 5. Avoid keyword stuffing / spamming.Avoid the temptation to use tons of keywords on your webpage only to try to impress search engines and get a higher ranking. Your search engines results ranking depends upon dozens of factors, only one of which is your webpage content. Write your webpage for visitors with your keywords in the back of your mind and you’ll be in good shape.6. Avoid hidden text.Hidden text is where a webmaster tries to hide keyword stuffing in plain sight, with a font color the same or nearly the same as the background. This gears it only towards the search engine, and search engines are very adept at catching this. This is the old trick that everyone knows and can very quickly knock your site ranking to near zero.7. Avoid cloaking.This is when the webpage your give to visitors is different than the one you give to search engines. Normally the one given to search engines is perfectly optimized for them, but search engines obviously don’t like this as the page they index and serve is different than the one that exists for visitors in reality.

5 Things Any SEO Company Should Know While Optimizing a Website for Search Engines

Optimizing a website for search engines is not a cake-walk. It takes lot of efforts on the part of SEO companies to meet the specific business requirements of their clients. But the essential point to be calculated while optimizing a website for search engine is to find how search engines see your optimization process. Sometimes, even the most powerful optimization process is unable to bring you top rankings if you are not aware of the underlying truth of optimization.

Though the algorithms of search engines widely vary while ranking the websites the indexing process of the search engines are more or less similar. Search engines spiders are specific programs and they don’t read the webpages as the human visitors do. Since the search engine spiders determine the efficacy of your page for the users, it is imperative for your SEO Company to know what the spiders interest in. Here are certain important techniques to be followed to optimize a website for search engines.

Java script, Flash Images

Search engine spiders can’t go through the Frames, Java scripts and Flash. These are absolutely effective for designing but not for search engines. It can be said that the search engine spiders can only recognize the text part and not the images. For images, SEO experts recommend using meaningful ALT attributes with keywords in the source code. Use of Flash and Java script is not an SEO-friendly practice.

Spiderable Hyperlinks

As the search engine spiders can’t read through the Java scripts, it is obvious that the spiders can’t recognize the JavaScript based links. Hence, it is always advisable to use the <noscript> tags for linking.

If your pages have linking errors such as “403 Forbidden”, “404 Page Not Found” or other similar errors, then it is natural that your pages might not get indexed. Also, such pages are not considered spider-friendly. Your SEO Company need to make sure that your website doesn’t contain such pages.

Keyword Placement

Search engines love and rank the pages that are rich in keywords. However, the art of keyword placement is important if you want to get high ranking in search engines. Search engine generally look for the density and proximity of the keywords on a webpage. Use of keywords in page title, headlines, and subheading and in the body of the text is ideal, but the other aspect that matters for search engines is the prominence of the keywords. Search engines weigh more to the presence of keywords in the first paragraph and close to the beginning than in the middle paragraphs.

Meta Keywords and Meta Description

Meta Keywords and Meta Description are the parts of source code of a webpage and are developed with HTML. Earlier, optimizing these Meta tags was a major part of search engine optimization. These days, some of the search engines don’t give much importance to the Meta tags, but still there are other crawler based search engines that still count these tags.

Dynamic pages

Search engines spiders certainly don’t like dynamic pages, many search engine index those pages though.

Does the SEO Company you hire for your SEO campaign know about these facts? Well, before the SEO companies know these things you should be aware of the truth about the search engine spider for a successful online business.
