Titling Blog Posts: Fact Or Fiction
August 27, 2008
Those of us who blog daily understand all too well, the importance of the posts title. We all exist in a very noisy blogosphere. For many of us our lives often seem to be running at an equally frantic pace. We scurry about our jobs, family, and life in general. It is a busy world.
We are daily bombarded by tens of thousands a messages, images, and noise on an hourly basis. Thus standing out in a crowded may take a linkbait mentality. Linkbait by its very nature is about drawing attention to your website or blog. So that is what we are doing or you would not be reading this.
There is also another level of linking that can transform the dynamics of the conversation. This is where linkbait becomes a social exchange of ideas. So we ask, does your blog include a call to action? A call to action simply asks your visitor do to what you want them to do. It is that simple. If you want them to comment why not ask them? Do you want them to sign up for an RSS feed then ask. I mean come on; a blog is a conversation, and when you have completed writing then ask for a response.
This is where the magic begins. When you get individuals to respond to post now take the time to add a follow-up comment and then send them a short personal thank you. We are not talking about an auto responder here. After all a blog is social media in action, right?
You will be amazed by the positive response that you will receive. You also score bonus links if you answer the question that they asked in their blog comment in your reply. Another option is to respond to each compelling worthy comment in detail on the blog as well. If you want to have a conversation you have to be willing to be an active participant.
We have all seen blogs where the writer will post their thoughts, responses come in and the writer is never heard from again. Your readers will appreciate your attention to detail this builds up trust, a rare commodity on the Internet and it shows that you care.
I have on more than occasion developed dozens of links from people who linked to us and social bookmarked our pages simply because we took the time to personally respond.
Yea, I know this requires time.
So my reader was this fact or fiction?
Are you ready to put more fact then fiction into your Internet marketing efforts?

What Is Search Engine Marketing In 2008?
August 27, 2008
This topic came up over at a forum that I have recently begun to use. The forum in question is the SEO Forum. Usually this is a fairly mundane topic for a forum. I responded that search engine marketing includes everything that you do away from your website to market yourself to the search engines. This is what link building is all about. You build links to lure the search engines to visit and index your website.
However, the more traditional approach too many is that SEM is all about Pay Per Click. Better known as PPC this is how the search engines makes there money. Since we are an organic results provider we don’t pay much attention to this side of the search engine community.
I have used my expanded view of SEM maybe a 100 times or so on forums and on blogs. So it seemed like a generally excepted view to me. Well, until I mentioned it on this forum. A moderator called me out and said I was wrong.
I was amazed, it was after all only an opinion. It was like I had mentioned something that could get a website banned. When called out I explained my position in detail and how I came to that conclusion. Keep in mind that this is just an opinion and that there is no regulation that has defined what search marketing should include. It will not hurt nor harm a websites search position.
That’s when things got ugly. I was wrong and that’s all there was to it. They attacked me professionally and accused me of making things difficult for the whole web marketing universe. The over reaction really caught me off guard.
I could see their reaction if I had made a suggestion that potentially could be harmful to someone’s website. Here are some links on the subject. Please check out a few definitions and decide what you accept as yours.

Websites Are Like NASCAR!
August 16, 2008
Recently it dawned on me that websites and race cars have a lot in common. A race car team puts a lot of time, training and effort into their high performance machine. They pay lots of attention to the smallest details and are constantly fine tuning the engine and suspension. These two must work in harmony for the team to become a champion. Successful websites are no different in that they also require many pieces of the machine and team to be in harmony. Websites must also pay attention to details and fine tune to the ever changing needs of the search engines through effective optimization of the source code and content.
The other part of this website team is the user experience. Every thing must work and it should work effortlessly. Your site should be a well oiled machine that converts visitors into customers. The visitor wants to walk away a winner too by feeling they made the right choice going with your team.
So SEO then becomes like the racing teams pit boss making adjustments and fine tuning the website to produce peak performance. However, you must be able to adapt to the changing environment to become a champion. During a race the team may use multiple types of tires often adjusting and changing through out the race.
A successful website team is no different. We who practice SEO have to make sometimes drastic changes quickly to adjust to how search engines, especially how Google handles the acquiring of website links. Managing a website requires the same attention to detail as a NASCAR racing team, you want to keep it well tuned and ready to win the race.
Win the race to the top of search engine ranking!

SEO And Word Of Mouth Advertising
August 16, 2008
We attend lots and lots of business mixers here in Tucson to promote our business. At almost every event the conversation will turn to blogging and why you should provide free advice on your website. The usually refrain is “Why would you give away free advice?” Keep in mind that these are business owners that we are talking with about business.
I am still dumbfounded every time I hear that question. For, us it’s all about the golden rule in action. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Or perhaps, “What goes around comes around.” Some get it when put in this context, but many don’t. These are what we would call the “what can you do for me crowd.”
They are so blinded by their own wants or needs that they can not believe there is an actual benefit to helping others for free.
They don’t understand that an educated consumer can be your best client or your best word of mouth advertisement. I talked extensively with a business coach at one of these mixers. I had me laptop and gave him a quick SEO 101. We covered simple Page Title and Page Descriptions and the need for him to geo-target for Tucson.
I meet him two months at another large mixer where he joined our table. He explained how he implements what I had told him. He stated that he was now #3 and #4 on Google for the keywords that he had targeted. He then looked around the table of seven stating to each “This guy knows what he is talking about.”
He then turns to me, and he asks “now how do I get to #1 and #2?” I wryly replied “for that, it’s gonna cost ya.” I stated that since I gave so freely to him that it was now his job to go tell others.
I was retelling this story later in the evening when a friend from the table pointed out that that’s exactly what he did after leaving our table. She told us “I’ve been watching him every since we left our table, and he has been telling everyone about you and how you helped him and that he even pointed me out in the crowd.
I was blown away, I only jokingly suggested that we go tell others. Apparently he was so grateful that he felt obligated to tell others about “this guy who knows what he’s talking about.” You simply can’t buy this kind of endorsement.

Website 101 – Don’t Let Someone Else Register Your Domain Name!
August 16, 2008
A warning to the wise about picking a domain name and having it registered! One of my websites was down for four days. The registration had expired thus causing the website to be unavailable to the public. You can not make money when people can not find your website!
The problem started a year ago when we had our web designer register our domain. He registered it in his name. When we discovered this we requested that it be placed in our name. This was done very quickly, or so it appeared on the surface. However, our designer northstewart.com never created another account for our domain.
So even thou it appeared that we owned the website in the whois.org registry directory, he still had control of the domain in his account. You can not extend the registration of a website that is not in your account. This problem took four days to resolve.
The whois directory showed a company named Enom had registered the domain. This was incorrect; it was registered by one of their resellers, namecheap.com. So when we contacted them we could only leave a message and email their support.
This was a major hassle, but they stepped to the plate to resolved the problem for us, in part anyway. They got the site registry renewed; however, the web designer still controls the account. This is not a good situation for someone when they do not possess complete control over their domain.
I tell you this story to make you aware of the risks of turning such a simple task over to someone else. At one point in my relationship with this man, I considered him a friend. Since this was my first registration of a website I trusted someone else to handle the process. I have since registered 24 domains by myself and have found it a very simple process.
Update: We finally after two years were able to gain control of www.yourfreshstart.us and we are planning on selling that site.
So be very cautious, this is your business… Beware, wolfs do come in sheep’s clothing.

Blogging For Links, Profit, And For Continuing Education
August 14, 2008
It is the opinion of Tucson SEO Solutions that the blog is the single most important marketing tool available. This business was built on the expertise gleaned from scouring the SEO/SEM blogging community.
I often tell the tale of cleaning houses during the day as a one person cleaning service. Then studying SEO and SEM and for 8 to 10 hours a day every day for four straight months. I visited thousands of websites along the way. Back then (18 months ago) when we started website marketing blogging for links was easy, time consuming, but easy. That was before “No Follow’ ruined the legitimate white hat practice of blogging for links.
By the time our house cleaning website launched in January 2007 we had already gathered 1400 industry specific links. We combined the power of these links with our new knowledge of Page Titles, Page Descriptions, Geo-targeted SEO and fresh content into a winning combination.
That website landed on the first page of Google several times over within three days of launching! It has been there ever since. Its eco friendly house cleaning tips blog has been first page ranked for nearly as long.
The blog is essential for providing fresh content for the static website that the search engines crave. A blog, when used frequently can help your website obtain and maintain high search rankings.
When you blog you can:
* Still acquire links
* Learn a whole lot
* Share with others
* Profit in many different ways
* Obtain and maintain high search ranking
* And maybe even have some fun!
We simply would not be here today, if it where not for blogs. It still blows me away when I visit a website marketing business’ website that doesn’t have a blog. We believe so much in blogs that they are standard issue on every website that we build. We also include training to use the software as an effective marketing tool. We believe a blog is useless if the website owner doesn’t know how to use it effectively.
We simply will not build a website that doesn’t include a blog. We feel that strongly about the subject. It is too powerful a tool to be missing, especially if you have a static website. The blog also provides a vehicle for your customers to interact beyond normal business channels. (We no longer build websites)
Many of website visitors to a service website will be doing research for a future purchase. The blog allows you to educate this group, share your expertise, and experiences. When done properly the blog can communicate a certain level of trust.
Trust is critical when the businesses service requires coming to or entering someone’s home. Dependability, reliability, and safety are paramount to this group. Again, the blogs can easily allow you to address different segments of your customer base.
We, often refer to blogs as stages, or sounding boards. If you love what you do your blog readers will easily see this; and the bonds of trust can begin to be established.
The blog also is a great tool when used to create inbound links. That is why we are working on our own “Do Follow Blog Lists.” These lists have turned out to be a great link building tool for us. When we visit SEO/SEM sites to verify their linking status, we leave a comment, pick up a link, and let the owners know that they are on our list.
It still blows me away when I visit SEO sites that haven’t implemented a blog on the own site. But then we clearly understand, that we are here today because others blogged, we read, learned, and applied what we had learned. The rest they say is history.
The only real drawback is that blogs do require a lot of time and attention to be successful.

WordPress Developers Needed
August 13, 2008
We are recruiting for dependable WordPress developers to work as sub-contractors on a regular basis. The two main requirements are experience and dependability. We prefer Tucson based vendors.
Experience doesn’t do us much good if you are not dependable. We work on tight schedules and require that you be able to perform as required. We have a no excuses policy. If you are given a project and you can not successfully complete it on time you will not be given a second opportunity.
We currently have more projects in the pipeline than we have available WordPress developers. You can work as much as you can realistically handle. We do not work on an hourly rate and all projects are provided based on an agreed upon bid. You will receive payment two weeks after the work has been placed onto the customer’s web host and they have signed off on the project. The two week wait is to cover any bugs that migght need to be addressed.
We operate on an under promise and over deliver process. That means that we exceed the customer’s expectations. If we tell the client the project will take 8 weeks we will deliver the project in 6 weeks. So we need realistic time estimates from our developers. If you tell us that you can have the work done in 3 weeks and it takes you longer. It will be the last project that you will work on. Our clients are not paying for excuses.
We are about to launch a national campaign going after the cleaning services industry and other services industries. We will be producing very clean and straight forward websites that sell. Our focus is not so much on the look and feel, but making sure that the content sells. We are marketers first and developers second.
We have recently acquired over 20 domain names that we plan on developing. We are currently looking to develop at least one new website per month for the remainder of this year for ourselves. We have begun marketing the Phoenix market.
We have a 5 year growth plan with visions of entering the top 100 markets. We only offer services to local website using Geo-targeting SEO (not GIS). We also offer service for niche product websites. We will consider small E-commerce sites where we can easily use WordPress plugins.
All website will include 6-10 plugins each. The most time consuming aspect of these sites might be the header. We prefer to use horizontial navigation bars with drop down menu’s. For SEO purposes we have the blog excerpts loop onto the corresponding pages.
We have a five year and exit plan. Then it’s early retirement for us. There is a tremendous opportunity for the right highly motivated individuals.
Grad students will be given first consideration, but if you are highly skilled and motivated that will not be a problem.
If you are interested we will need the following.
A resume delivered in the body of an email and not as an attachment. Pay attention to this requirement over 90% of respondents send attachments. We figure that they can not follow basic instructions then you have eliminated yourselves.
If you have done paid work before we will need the links to that work and reference contact information.
If you haven’t done paid work we will need links to what you have done and someway to verify that this is your work.
A real big plus will be if you have developed WordPress websites. Please do not call, if we are interested we will contact you for an appointment.
We are not interested in using any other CMS.
We also will not outsource outside of the US and Canada.
Thanks, for your time and consideration.

Google Fumbles AOL Ball
August 8, 2008
This is from Cnet. Google has recently files papers with the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) that it may be taking a charge against its investment in AOL. Back in December of 2005 Google invested 1 Billion for a 5% stake in AOL. It was an attempt to thwart AOL, its biggest ad partner from switching to Microsoft’s MSN unit.
In the SEC filing Google calls its investment in AOL impaired. This basically is an omission that they expect to take a charge on this investment which valued the company at 20 Billion dollars. It is currently believed that AOL is valued at half that amount.
This will allow Google to demand that Time Warner must act to spin off its AOL investment in an IPO or buy back its stake in the business. This would mean a half a Billion dollar loss for Google.
What I find missing from this story is how much money did Google make by preventing AOL from defecting to MSN. While they did loss stock value they benefited greatly from the continued revenue stream from AOL. Perhaps, I can find that answer for an update post later.

Do You Play To Win?
August 7, 2008
We believe that the process of search engine optimization will help almost any website soar in the search rankings. Given enough time and resources it is possible for almost any website to rank well in the search results, by that we are talking about the first page of the Google results.
Any successful SEO provider knows that if you go where the crowds aren’t you will be successful. That’s why so much effort goes into Keyword research.The huge benefit here is that using long tail search you have less competing sites and that your visitor is now highly targeted and motivated to buy.
A good example of a long tail search would be the search for “increased website traffic Tucson” There is no doubt that the person using this search query wants more traffic to their website and that it has a Tucson customer base.
Do you play to win?

An SEO Climbs Back In The Saddle
August 1, 2008
I’m climbing back in the saddle after a prolonged illness (2 weeks). I know that doesn’t seem like long to many of you, but in the website ranking wars it can seem like an eternity.
I am amazed how quickly things have changed during this short period of time. I worry that in some cases our websites have slipped from the first page to the second. Normally, I would be freaking out and hell bent on fixing this situation to my liking. This is important, because it is our livelihood and our retirement plan. It does however, pale in comparison to the Trillion dollar loss to the nations economy suffered today (09/29).
Then, I think back on those who have lost their homes and had their lives turned upside down by floods, winds, and rain. My company didn’t go under and take my job and life savings with it. Nor do I have any connection to the families that lost loved ones in the violence of a train crash in California, yet I understand their pain and anguish.
There has been a lot of trauma and suffering in this great country of ours and this illness has slowed me down long enough to pay attention. The television set becomes a reliable companion when your day is spent more in bed than out. Except this time, it provided images of grief, suffering, and uncertainty about our economy. Soon this economic malaise would begin to appear all across this blue planet. Our leaders seemed leaderless and unable to cope.
Suddenly my website search ranking didn’t seem so pressing. It wasn’t like the sites had all suddenly disappeared from the search engine results pages. No these minor set backs will be addressed and any slippage in the rankings will likely be restored in a week or two. Since we use WordPress on our main websites we have the fresh content advantage that we will employ to recover quickly.
What I am saying here is that a few well written words that are placed on our websites can works wonders in the search rankings. However, no amount of my words, no matter how well meaning, will do much for the destroyed lives, homes, and economies. It is with a very sober and somber attitude that I return to this little SEO business.
Stay tuned we are planning an SEO promotion to provide assistance for those who have recently experienced devastation and need help rebuilding their website business. We will be offering services for free. We will be updating the blog with more details soon.
