Got More Time Then Money? Try Digital Point Forum
May 31, 2008
I have previously written about avoiding Forums to ask questions about website marketing or anything in general. I have changed my mind when It comes to Digital Point at www.digitalpoint.com .
I now use Digital Point Forum daily to ask questions, to answer questions, and to pick-up some links. This is a friendly forum where it seems like people are really trying to help each other out.
This is not the case with other Forums many of them allow negative attacks to occur. I have asked questions on many other Forums and been told how stupid I was or they start arguing about who has given the correct answer. Often they argue so much that the original question goes unanswered. This is not so at Digital Point, or I have not seen it.
Like most forums it covers a wide variety of topics and it allows registered users to start discussions. There is a lot of self promotion that goes on that is not allowed on other forums. Eventually, you will be allowed to use signatures on your post which include live “Do Follow Links” to your website.
When you have posted enough you will be allowed to turn these links into very valuable anchor text links. I originally started using Digital Point merely to acquire links. However, I really like what I do and I love helping out others by offering free advice. So now, links are merely a side benefit of using the forums. I have learned a lot as well about free resources that I was not aware of.
We believe that if you want anything in life you must first give to receive. Call it the yin and yang of life if you will or what goes around comes around. Do good and you will be rewarded.
So give Digital Point a try you will be glad that you did.

Aboutus.org: Write About Them And They Spam Your Blog!
May 30, 2008
Yesterday, I wrote an article that recommended using this website. They returned the favor by spamming our blog. They offered to write SEO friendly articles, if you had a little bit of money. I find this very disgusting and offensive. We offer this service.
They most likely are using Google Alerts to inform them when anyone has mentioned them. This is a good form of reputation management. We have been discussing using alerts ourselves now that we are becoming a national player.
The sad thing for me is a better course of action would have been to thank us for the positive write-up. However, they chose to exploit our kindness. We need to apologize for not doing our homework on this site. We are listing links to other sites that have trashed these people. Please accept our apology.
I am deleting the original content and linking to this post. We will do a little more homework before recommending a website.

Website 101 - Just Say No To Website Submission Services
May 28, 2008
Recently, when I was doing a website review the client asked me about how I handle website submissions. This caused me to pause for a moment, I looked at him and asked “Are you asking me if these website submission services are worth all the millions that they charge, for a useless service, that you can do yourself for free.
He stated “Yes, I have read… At this point I politely interrupted him, by saying “Yes, I known, there is a lot that is written, about how beneficial their service can be, but that is just not so, or is no longer so. He noted “things do changed don’t they?”
Yes, I explained, “things are always changing.” which is why this service is not beneficial. This kind of exchange happens all too often with clients and potential clients. This is especially true for the small business owner who is the mainstay of our business. This is one reason they come to us for advice.
This is why I enjoy blogging and providing training seminars. These are wonderful tools to educate the consumer and to develop trust. An educated consumer is our best friend. We want our clients to be actively involved with the marketing and management of their websites.
Our desire is to empower the client to leverage the Internet to grow there business. We provide the tools, the training, and services to conquer the SERP’s for their local target market.
It is so way cool to help someone who was struggling to make the Internet work and then turn their website into a profit center.
Here are the links you use to submit your website.
Google - http://www.google.com/addurl/
Yahoo - https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit
MSN - http://search.live.com/docs/submit.aspx
Why pay when it’s free!

Does Google Give An Unfair Linking Advantage To Established Websites?
May 20, 2008
Since Google has encouraged blogs not to pass link juice, a valuable but very time consuming white hat method has been diminished. For many website marketers, making comments on blogs were our main or only tool for acquiring links.
Many blogging platforms, such as WordPress have been set as “No Follow.” This simply means that the link created by leaving a comment is only good for generating website traffic. The “No Follow” link attribute renders the link incapable of assisting in the pursuit of higher search ranking.
In the past we would begin blogging our way through Top Ranks huge SEO – SEM list at the beginning of each month. The goal was a letter a day. This left a few extra days for things like the letter “S.” Back then almost all blogs were “Do Follow” now most of them are not.
We just completed covering the entire list scouring for blogs to be included in our “DO Follow List.” I was shocked by how few blogs are actually passing link juice. Since thousands of websites depend on this method they now are scrambling to figure out how to find usable links.
This is where I believe Google gives an unfair advantage to established websites that have already accumulated a huge amount of links. New websites are playing by a different set of rules then the older sites used when they established their links in the past.
The Top Rank list is a good example of that advantage. If you worked the list in one month you might have ended up with 300 links from one list. Now you might be lucky to get 30. Thus Google is making it roughly 10 times harder to obtain links through this method.
It becomes extremely more difficult to produce enough links to overcome any website with a sizable link advantage. The unintended consequence is that this sharply increases the cost related to any website link building program.
Another unintended consequence is that it will force many out of the ethical white hat approach to search marketing. They will conclude that you can not win by playing by the rules and will begin to find ways to manipulate the search engine.
Like many things in life, solving one problem simply creates another one somewhere else. Now, don’t get me wrong I’m a big fan of Google; we owe our businesses existence to Google. We are merely writing about our industry, and Google is the Big Dog in this neighborhood. When you write about websites and linking you inevitably will write about Google.

Link Building: Anchor Text Style
May 20, 2008
Today while searching for resources for our “Do Follow List OF Lists” my partner discovered a blogger, at http://www.affiliatewatcher.com was ranting about “Do Follow Blogs.” It has an eye-popping graphic of someone pulling out there hair, that I really liked.
Specifically, he was going off on blogs that have the “u comment i follow” logo on them. This logo was created by Randa Clay to indicate that the blog would pass link juice for any link resulting from commenting.
This person was ranting about how the blog owners should remove these logos if they are on longer relevant. When we are blogging for links we use SEO Quake which produces a line through links that are “No Follow.” So this doesn’t bother us much. There are lots of reason why this might be occurring. It could simply be the plugin is no longer working after an upgrade or hasn’t been set up correctly I’m also sure some of this is intentional.
What really got my attention was when he continues his rant about those people who don’t use their real or assumed names in the name field of the blogs comment section. This is where this story really begins. You see, link building is its most effective and powerful when it produces an anchor text with the link. The name field of blog comments creates the anchor text link.
Blogs often by default, use the name field when they when they turn your comment information into a link. So when we use “Tucson SEO” in the name field it doesn’t mean that we are spamming. It merely means that we want the link to be given a keyword attribute that is related to our website. When I use the name Boris, the search engines can not match the name with this web sites content and the link is less useful.
When the anchor text can not be aligned with the websites content, the search engines devalue the link. However, when the anchor text matches the content you now have a very valuable link. Like anything good it can be over used. This is a growing trend that you can expect to see more often.
Many people have a real sense of community in the blogosphere. They grumble every time they see a keyword or keyword phrase used in the blog comments, just as this writer was today. They believe that only your real name should be used exclusively.
They fail to realize with the advent of “No Follow” and Google’s crusade against paid links it has made acquiring links much more difficult. This shrinks the opportunities to acquire links. So we in the SEO and SEM industries must make the best possible use of the links that we are acquiring. That’s why you are seeing an increase in this practice.
All good things can get abused so lets make it a point not to.

Do Follow List Of Lists Update 176 Blogs in 13 Catagories!
May 19, 2008
This is a follow up post. We wanted to explain how you can get on the list. All that is required is that you have a “Do Follow Blog” that you are actually maintaining on a regular basis. We do not list Blogger blogs, as they are useless to us. We reserve the right to deleted or reject any blog for any reason. The most common reason not to be listed is that the blog lead to slow loading pages or was to hard to read.
Here is a follow up to some of the things that we have encountered along the way. The best thing is that we picked up a bunch of links for ourselves.
The arrogance of it all… The side effect of Link Bait
Our link bait, The “Do Follow List of Lists” Is slowly doing what we had intended. We’re not setting the world on fire and we didn’t make it the top of Digg. However, traffic is up and some of the blog posts are getting some traction in the SERP’s.
What we foolishly hadn’t anticipated was the strange and arrogant requests that we might receive. This one I thought was worth sharing.
“If you have something useful to say, and are an SEO, and your own website is well SEO’ed, please add a comment to (removed his link) I have the ability to do follow AND to allow link text, if your comment
is worth it”
He followed up with this:
“There should be do follow on this blog! Rather crazy promoting it if you don’t lead by example.” Don’t you just love it when someone you don’t know thinks nothing of telling you how to run your business?
He did bring up a point worth discussing. Why is our blog “No Follow” and yet, we have a large “Do Follow List? Too many, this writer included, it seems ironic. Well, now is a good a time as any to address this issue.
First we are doing it this way because we want to! Mostly, it’s straight up a business decision. This is a business website that depends on Google for roughly 35% of our traffic. Google is a profit center for our business and for our customers. We wouldn’t be in business if it were not for Google. We are attempting to walk a fine line here.
It seems like a perfect win, win, win, situation here. Google gets what it wants from us in the form of a “No Follow” blog. Visitors benefit from a valuable resource for obtaining links. The blogs on the list get some extra traffic and we pick up some relevant links when we build the lists. Since, the blog is only about a month old, this is our first attempt at “link bait.” The ironic thing for me is that we are using links as our “link bait”

Older Internet Entrepreneurs Rule!
May 17, 2008
This post is based on a Wall Street Journal article dated 05/06/2008. The story goes onto to take a look at the true image of an Internet entrepreneur. Despite the success of a college dropout like Bill gates, this is not the true image of the Internet guru.
It is often seen that the Internet has been built around a bunch of 20 something’s college dropouts. However, the Kauffman Foundation recently altered this view. They surveyed some 600 or so entrepreneurs who started businesses over the decade from 1995 to 2005 and who has revenues that exceeded a million dollars.
There report concluded that the average age was 39 and that 24% where over 45. The report noted that only 8% didn’t earn a college degree. It also noted that almost 16 and a half years had passed between college graduation and when they started their business. This group included only around 37% had college degrees.
Well, we haven’t made our millions, but our business training began when I was 52 and this business was launched when I was 53! We haven’t got there yet, but we have a written business plan that says that we will.
Do you rule!

I Don’t And I Won’t Twitter.
May 12, 2008
I didn’t grow up learning the readers digest version of story telling or sending an email. I don’t have or need a BFF. Since I’m in my fifties I run with the sight challenged crowd. So staring at a little screen just isn’t high on my agenda.
Learning the whole new language of texting doesn’t seem like to good use of my time. Many of these new social media tools and options can be effective for the right demographics.
This is also why I’m not likely to endorse using a blackberry. I like my email delivered to me while I sit in the comfort of my home or at the coffee shop, my office away from home. I seldom bring my cell phone with me when I leave home.
I am well connected to the Internet because I am a website consultant. I have no desire to carry my work with me in the form of and electronic device. It’s highly unlikely that I will ever adapt to the Twitter and blackberry as ways of business. Since I work from home, I don’t have the luxury of going home to get away from work. So the thought of bringing work with me when I leave home seems insane.
Yes, I will miss calls and opportunities and I’m ok with that. I’m also cool when I look out my home office’s window to view the wonderful bursts of color that my garden provides.

SEO Nation Let’s Stamp Out Hunger Saturday May 10th 2008
May 10, 2008
Please remember USPS will be picking up dry food donations this Saturday. We got our brown paper grocery bag today announcing the event. After a short discussion we found ourselves scurrying through the cabinets and pantries looking for items to share with others.
Recently, I had the opportunity to have a conversation with a representative of a large local homeless services organization. Since then, I have been contemplating and brainstorming doing something for the homeless community. I was mapping out how we could perhaps do some kind of fund raiser with the internet services community to benefit the homeless. I realized something this grandiose would take a huge amount of time and it might not be practical due to our time commitments and other projects.
When the opportunity to participate in this food drive arrived in the mail today we seized upon the opportunity to do something. We talked about how fortunate we were and how it was cool to help others. While we scoured the recesses of the cabinets it occurred to me to blog about the project. Just maybe someone will see this and set out some food for strangers. How cool is that helping strangers… It was a temptation that we could not resist.
It sure does feel good helping the hungry. I remember a time when an arm injury caused me to lose my job and my home. I still remember very clearly having to turn to food banks and the goodness of strangers. So it is with great joy we have chosen to provide food for others. When you’ve been there and done that, and the “that” is hunger you don’t forget easily.
In fact, for many of us who have hungered for the satisfaction provided by food, we now hunger to be successful business entrepreneurs so that we might be able to assist many others along the paths of life.
We are real big at buying in bulk when things are on sale at the grocery stores. We always over buy something that we eventually tire of and it gets lost in the back of the cabinets. Looking for food was like a treasure hunt. There was the lasagna noodles that wouldn’t get used until winter because it’s already to hot to use the oven much in Tucson for a long while.
Then there is the “Super Bowl snack pantry” which was still loaded with Frito’s, Wheat Thins, and Lay’s chips…. Really… Still we had another closet filled with Gatorade from when a local Fry’s had all you want for .67 cents. I would stop by daily and pick up 3 or 4 cases.
We eventually ended up with a very large pile of mostly snack stuff. You’d be amazed how special and good snacks are to someone who is down and out. They are very, very grateful. So SEO nation we ask you to please give some food and help “Stamp Out Hunger.”

We finally Have A Blog!
May 8, 2008
We started our SEO service a year ago. We didn’t have money to buy a designed website, but we knew you couldn’t sell SEO without having an SEO website. We tried for two months without much success.
I am a firm believer that if you need something Internet related you can most likely will find it for free. Whenever, we need something we always include the word free in the search phrase. So I entered the search query “free website.” The top sponsored ad was from Microsoft.
It took me to OfficeLive.com where I could acquire my free website, free domain name, and free web hosting. It included a basic WYSIWYG editor and limited templates but it was free. What made this so much better than most free website tools is that it allowes you to use SEO techniques on your website. You could actually name your page title, keywords, and page descriptions.
I couldn’t believe my good fortune. The only drawback was that it did not include a blog. Since we recommend a blog to all of our clients, this made things a bit awkward for us. We overcame this obstacle by creating an industry update page. There we could express our view but it was a one way conversation.
We saved the good material that was still relevant and have used it to fill in our blog. We also created a list of about 60 or so topics that we would like to discuss. We are working daily on our version of a “Do Follow List, by far our biggest undertaking. We have already put in over 30 hours on this project. We consider it our way of giving back; after all we are in business today because of what we have learned on other blogs.
So if you have a “Do Follow Blog” we would love to list your site.
We invite you to join the conversation and leave a comment. We also invite you to continue the conversation on your blog or perhaps use a trackback, or maybe even social bookmark this article, give it a Digg, Sphinn it, or Stumble it.

Does Your Service Website Meet The “Needs Factor.”
May 7, 2008
It is fair to say that many buyers of website services and many designers don’t understand that service website visitors are “Need Buyers.” They as a group often want to provide the “Wow Factor” on their websites.
Believe me, when my vehicle AC wet out on April 14th in Tucson, I wasn’t buying “Wow” when I did my Google search for “auto AC repair Tucson.” I needed my AC fixed, as of yesterday. I was a “Needs Buyer.”
All I cared about was, could you solve my problem (Need) today? (Benefit) During my Google search if I clicked towards your website and it loaded slow because of flash on the site I would click away.
If you didn’t make it easy to determine that you could solve my problem I would leave. It’s fair to say that most service purchases are accompanied with a fair amount of stress. This is especially true for purchasing for buying website services. The consumer generally isn’t sure what is best for their needs.
Our websites are designed to clearly define what your website is offering. We also define the benefit for the consumer. The benefit here is that you are the business that best can fulfill their needs. We also assist you in providing what is known as “a call to action.” This is the part where you actually ask for their business.
The service business website needs to create leads and appointments, so there primary goal of their is to create an inquiry by email and preferably by phone. If the designer that you are choosing doesn’t understand how to build a website for the ‘Needs buyer” you should probably find one that does.
Think about it…. If your homes roof is leaking or your car will not start, do you really care about a websites look and feel? No, you want to know this, “Can you solve my problem, and now?
Does your website offer solutions?

Can Google’s Search Results Be Trusted?
May 4, 2008
We just did a search Google search for “niche SEO’ where we are usually in the number # 1 or #2 position bouncing back and forth with Aaron Wall’s seobook website. To our surprise another website www.seosearchbot.com was in the #1 position. So we visited the site.
The website lacked for content and was easy to read, as it is one of those link directories. We used the Ctrl f command and discovered that the word niche didn’t appear on the page.
We then ventured to check out the pages source code. We did another Ctrl f search and again we came up with no results. So why did this website appear in the search results? Does anyone have a reasonable explanation?
Well, before this even got posted the site dropped to the #4 position. I just don’t know how it ever ranked for niche SEO when the word niche never appears!
We will continue to investigate and keep you updated.

The Best SEO Blog In The World!
May 2, 2008
We are not even close… we are but a tiny speck on the SEO Blog radar screen.
This post genesis occurred as part of a conversation with my business partner about our obtaining a #1 ranking for an SEO related search nationally. The interesting thing was that I was in the middle of writing a post about our #1 ranking. That search on Google is for the search “Geo-Targeted SEO.” We have been #1 ranked for “Tucson SEO” for the last 6 months or so.
She laughed and mentioned that she was just on the blog Pimp my Page Rank. She pointed out that they had written that they are #1 ranked “the best SEO blog in the world.” I checked it out and it is true. We continued to discuss how not all #1 rankings are the same.
So we did a Google search for “the best SEO blog in the world, a very long tail, and found 76 references. Not bad at all, this blogger has marketed their blog well.
We then did a Search for “Tucson SEO” and discovered 1,710 references. Yes we have been very busy marketing ourselves over the last year. Actually I was very surprised by this result. The last time I checked it hovered around a thousand. We then checked out a search term were we ranked #1 that was SEO related and not part of the business name. Our search for “Geo-targeted SEO” it revealed 2,650 results.
It just goes to show that not all search #1’s rankings are the same, or equal value. In the case of “Tucson SEO” and “the best blog in the world” we should be #1 because the search included a business and a blog title. If you are not showing up #1 for your business name then you definitely could use SEO assistance.

Your Fresh Start.us Obtains A Page Rank of 4
May 2, 2008
To our clients and potential clients Page Rank is not something that they know about or care about. It seems like the only people who care about Page Rank are webmasters and alike. I will freely admit for me it’s an ego thing. Our website had a PR of 4 and dropped to a three in October of last year. However, at the same time our blog went from a 0 to a PR of 3.
Since we were winding down the cleaning business down as we began our SEO business we were not giving it much attention and were loosing links as time went by. So I was a bit amazed today to discover that both the website and its blog were given a PR of 4. Maybe, it does pay off to voice an opinion or two in support of Google’s position on buying and selling of links. Ya’ just never know!
Actually, this PR change comes at a very good time for us as we begin to market the website differently. Instead of creating cleaning business customers we are using the site as example for our website design and redesign services. We believe it is a good example of how cleaning service website should be.
We observed that most cleaning service website were very unattractive. They were often displaying workers cleaning or wearing cleaning attire. We thought that a premium service needed to display not the tools or workers performing cleaning but the end results of these efforts. So our website scattered about pictures of clean and orderly homes and offices.
We also clearly detailed our services and asked for their business and to contact us now. This is known as a call to action. All of these are very simple techniques but missing on most websites. Our website set an expectation of quality. It portrays our message very effectively.
The Your Fresh Start website is the standard that we use when selling our website design services to our potential web site design service clients.
