Google Indexing Some Flash Files
November 10, 2008
Today I discovered that Google can now index text content in Flash files. I found this very interesting news. I have never been a fan a flash because the text could not be indexed. This made optimizing a website a very difficult process for many. It often required that an HTML version of the website to be created. Which adds a lot of work and expense to build a Flash based website.
So I was very curious to find this Google Update on their Blog http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/.
The post went on to answer very specific questions and is worth while reading if you have a flash site. It did note that FLV files that are used on YouTube can not be currently indexed as they have no text available for indexing.

Duplicate Content – Don’t Worry Be Happy
November 10, 2008
There has been so much written over the years about duplicate content penalties from Google. I always view these kinds of things with a healthy dose of skepticism. I’m one of those kinds of persons we says “seeing is believing.” If I can not verify personally through trial and error then I remain skeptical about certain SEO beliefs or theories.
I know page titles are important not only because I have read this hundreds of times over, but I have proven the validity through real world application. Lately, I have given a lot of consideration to the effects of website scraping and its effects on scrapped websites. So when in doubt I have found if you have a questions about Google, its best to go to Google.
So I visited the webmaster central blog looking for answers and indeed I found my answer. It was “don’t worry, be happy.” their words not mine. It seems that duplicate content isn’t the big problem that it is made out to be. If you would like to read the article at Webmaster Central you might find it an eye opener.
Don’t worry be happy!

Google’s “Do No Evil” Some Say It’s Just Not So
November 9, 2008
Google is famous for it’s “Do No Evil” approach to doing business. However, many of its biggest advertisers are disputing this position. The Wall Street Journal recently reported on Google and its struggle with trademark infringement in it paid ad placements. Google currently allows trademarks and copy written materials to be used in its AdSense and Ad Words pay per click advertising
One of Google largest advertisers, American Airlines filed suit last August in a Texas federal court. They are claiming trademark infringement. The suit requests that Google stop selling trade mark protected keywords.
A Google spokesperson replied that lower court decisions have supported Google concerning these matters. This matter is not limited to just American Airlines other large corporations such as Marriott Hotels and Northwest airlines have voiced opposition to the position taken by Google.
Several months ago it was pointed out to me during a business discussion that I was vulnerable to the same situation. At that time I scoffed at the notion that this could happen to our business. I stated as a local SEO service provider my market wasn’t likely to be targeted. I also replied “there isn’t much that I could do anyway; I couldn’t afford to sue Google.”
Now, that we are expanding our business presence to a national audience we have found that our position has matured on this subject. While we still can not afford to fight the search engines in courts we find that we do support American Airlines on this trademark issue.
Why shouldn’t trademark laws be enforceable on the Internet? The WJS pointed out several examples of trademarks being used as a bait and switch. This problem is often called “piggybacking” where a trademarked business name is used to lure visitors to another unrelated site.
Google is rumored to punish websites that use these kinds of methods in their organic search results. It is believed your website might actually be penalized by linking with unrelated sites, or the link is considered useless. But they are doing little to stop this practice in the money producing portion of their results. American Airlines thinks its illegal.
Now, don’t get me wrong we are big fans of Google. However, it does seem that this trademark issue is tarnishing their “Do No Evil” mantra. What do you think?

Where Do We Go From Here?
November 5, 2008
November 4th 2008 has been a very historic day for our nation. Yes, change is coming whether you voted for the winning candidates or not. The economy is in a perilous condition known as a recession. People are scared and re-evaluating just about everything that they do as individuals and as business owners.
We are no different in that regards. We have been re-evaluating how we go about the practice and marketing of this business. We started this business with a huge educational component. We wanted to train the business owner to do this stuff themselves and that was the focus of this business.
When we began this journey the small local business owner was and still is our core market. However, many, if not most of these business owners, even those with websites, know very little about the inner workings of a site. They may even know less about how to market their websites.
This posed a huge problem for this business because consumers didn’t understand our services. So after months of evaluation we concluded that seminars would be the best marketing tool available. The seminars would serve dual purposes. They would educate the consumer about our industry and would serve as a wonderful marketing tool.
So we started offering search engine optimization and marketing basics seminars for a small fee last year. These seminars not only were a great marketing tool, but they also provided a valuable small business resource.
Then in March of 2008 we re-evaluated our business approach. At that time we decided to discontinue offering local seminars. We began to redesign our website to take us from a regional player into a national player in the SEO field. Amazingly this approach worked. This site can be readily found on the first page of the Google results for multiple searches that include SEO in the search query, such as small business SEO solutions.
However, while we were focusing on creating a national presence for ourselves we neglected our core market here in Tucson. We also discovered it is much harder to land a client from Hawaii or Florida than one that is located here. The weakening economy has also played a huge role. So we again decided it was time to re-evaluate our business model.
We have concluded that it was time to start offering seminars for small business owners with websites again. However, we decided to expand the seminars to include 7 segments that cover all aspect of having a successful website.
We then took a long look at our pricing structure and the economy and have chosen a path that we have never gone. We will be offering these seminars absolutely free with no string attached. Like we always have said “An educated consumer is our best friend.” The hope is that those who attend our seven part series will learn, prosper, and tell their friends and families.
So for us these seminars offer an opportunity to generate a whole bunch of high quality ‘Word Of Mouth” advertising. We also have long term goals of producing a seminar series that will be sold on our website as a subscription service.
So having said all of this, let me ask you what are you doing differently in these changing times to survive or expand your business?
