When I am cooking I usually read the recipe, if I happen to be using one, discard any ingredients I dislike, substitute other ingredients if the discarded ones seem critical to the outcome of the recipe and then reduce the cooking instructions by half. This procedure produces a swifter and often still edible result while allowing ample begin again time for those rare misguided attempts at culinary firsts. I have proven to myself empirically that combining two or more items that please my pallet will prove pleasing in its new form way beyond the number of times including any, let alone numerous, distasteful items in combination will produce a taste that is pleasant, satisfactory or in any way edible, forget about delightful. I find furthermore that this “recipe for recipes” works extremely well from one recipe to another and from one cookbook to the next.

It is no secret that the big search engines are paying a lot of attention to blog content. This is especially true of Yahoo, overture and Google. Google is the site that it is probably the most important for you to get into if you are a serious marketer or want to drive the traffic to your site.

How many times have you heard about keyword density? If you have been involved in any type of Internet mMarketing you probably know all about SEO and SEM and how to fully optimize your articles and content for keyword density right? But did you know the penalties and dangers of keyword stuffing or keyword spamming? Did you know that keyword densities over two percent often result in decreased page ranking and do not increase anything but problems for your web site?

There’s a huge buzz about Podcasts and feeds, but do you even understand what they mean. Many people don’t and that’s why it’s so important we understand what feeds and Podcasts are and what they do. Additionally many who know what they are do not even use them properly. We will explore feeds and podcasts and how they affect SEO.

What is a feed?

A feed or “web feed” is a type of data that is used for frequently updating content like blogs, news and radio shows. Many types of feeds can be syndicated through other web sites which means that people can sign up or subscribe to your feed. An aggregater is a program or website that makes all of your feeds accessible in one convenient spot.

Link bait and reciprocal linking programs have quite a bit in common. Without disparaging anyone who engages in link baiting strategies I do believe that many forms of link baiting are just a dressed up version of reciprocal links without the reciprocation. Note here that I said, many forms. I don’t mean all link baiting, but I would guess a bigger slice of the link baiting pie holds no more value than the old fashioned reciprocal link schemes.

A brief history of reciprocal linking

Unique Content is King, don’t simply regurgitate someone else’s work as search engines penalize duplicate content. Also unique, valuable and interesting content will boost your rankings and also please your visitors.

Keep adding content, Search Engines live on information and the more your site has additional information on it the more the Search Engines will keep coming back to index your information. Avoid simple and excessive minor changes as this wont help at all.

Never ever remove a page when it has been indexed, you have worked hard to get that page up and it will attract visits so work the content to support your site as opposed to deleting the complete page.

Search Engines look for relevant content when a person makes a search based on a particular keyword. So your website should have relevant content in order to rank high in SERP. It is the process of increasing the amount of visitors to your website by ranking high in the search results of a search engine. Search engine optimization can be worked into a site while designing it you can optimize the site after it is designed. The key for which the optimization of the website is done is known as the “Search phrases” or the “keyword”. Doing search engine optimization is about creating traffic for your site. Search engine optimization can be performed on virtually any websites and is one of the most powerful ways of advertising for any business wanting to secure a stable online presence. Search engine optimization is big business.

You can hardly move on the Internet these days without tripping over someone’s blog. But what is a blog for and how does it fit into your business? Why is blogging so important for a business?

The emergence of blogging as a business tool is down to Google. Had they not appeared on the search scene and revolutionised the Internet we would not be seeing blogs enter the e-business toolkit. If you can conceive of an Internet in pre-Google days, search engines were floundering; they were slow and often returning irrelevant results. There was a general opinion that search was dead – it wasn’t very effective and no one was making any money from it. The Google-boys changed all that with their mission to organise the world’s information and make it easily accessible1.

SEO and Article Marketing work together to provide you with the best solution to website promotion that you can have. Forget PPC programs, and forget ezine advertising. Nothing beats free adverts on the index listings of the major search engines.

Why pay to have an advert on the right hand side of Google, that everybody knows is an advert, when for less money (no money in fact) you get a lovely listing on the left hand side that everybody regards as being associated with authoritative sites. Not only is it free, but it is also a more prestigious listing that a paid Adwords or Yahoo Search Marketing advert.

The answer to that question is maybe! When I bought XSitePro at the beginning of May I had gone through a very frustrating few weeks trying to design several websites. Even more frustrating because I was designing sites for customers and myself 5 years ago but dropped out because of other commitments.

I decided to start up another Internet business earlier this year and couldn’t wait to get my own site up and running again. That was when my frustrations started. OK the sites that I designed before weren’t exactly top of the notch professional; they were sort of like the Grandma Moses of the Internet. But, they were attractive, easy to navigate, well visited and different!
