The Video Learning Curve

Published June 13, 2010 | By Urban

The Video Learning Curve

Back In March of 2010 I meet with a young man from Tennessee. He had flown to Tucson to meet with me to discuss a project that he was pursuing. The project is an all in one website package for local small business owners. The idea was to provide the small business owner with everything that they would need to market their business locally on the internet.

The program provides website hosting, a content management system to build their website, and training videos. It is the most complete package that I had ever seen. My role in the project, if I chose to become part of the project, would be to provide video SEO and link building training.

We would eventually enter into a two year agreement where I would do the SEO and link building portions of the training. Well, the first problem that was apparent was that I had never made a video. The next problem was as it turns out my computer was not ready for making videos. This would require many upgrades to my equipment and software.

My new partner Ken and I hit it off very well. So much so that he took care of the costs of the needed upgrades. I ended up with Windows 7, a video editing program called Camtasia, and the latest version of the Word office suite. He also provided me access to a very expensive video training program called the Video Boss. I had never used a video editor or the recent version of Power Point. So I was now on this huge learning curve. I might note that I hate learning how to use software.

That was mid March. By early June I had completed about 20 videos. Most of these are for Ken’s program. Then yesterday, I began dabbling with videos produced to be placed on this blog. For all that I have accomplished so far, I still do not know how to place a video on this site. I did manage to post one video on several video sites but I messed up when I went to place it on this blog.

It was very late in my day when I attempted this and I was very tired. I will try it again today. The biggest learning curve, if you can call it that, was to overcome my fear of failure. After doing these 20 or so videos my confidence is soaring. I want to learn how to make the best possible video that can. I already understand my content (SEO) very well. I now will learn how to make these videos more appealing.

I want to learn to use special video effects. I want to learn to record voice overs separately. I want to add a green screen. Yes, my wish list for new skills is growing daily. From what I have see on You Tube my videos are already better than most that are posted there, but nowhere near what would be considered a professional polished product.

My goal is to eventually bring my video making skills in line with my SEO skills. Video training programs are where the real money is made in this industry. But the reality remains I still don’t have a video on my blog yet!

The first video that I produced to be shared with my readers was all about the day of a local SEO. I recorded what I was doing, in this case, I was visiting video websites. I was signing up with as many video sharing sites as possible. I also was creating a database for my own video marketing program.

What I found was very interesting. Many of these sites are difficult to use. I am not referring to the loading of videos. Heck, on some sites it was a matter of locating the registration link. One site used a black background with a white font that made it extremely difficult for me to read. So I ended up reviewing what was wrong with the sites which is not what I had intended to do.

If your website requires that you register to use the site and if you allow user generated content you really must pay attention to the little things. Now, many of these sites have millions of users and it makes me wonder how many more users would they have if the process was easier. Registering to use a website should begin with easy access to the registration form.

Almost everyday I visit a site that I would like to use but I find that they are not user friendly and leave. As I have discovered making the video that many video sites in an effort to appeal to one market sometimes overlook the needs of users like me. If you have a customer base like those needing SEO, this can be a difficult task. The difficulty is that they come from so many different backgrounds.

One thing that I made a point of doing was hiding what website that I was on. I also noted that this was just my thoughts about their site and in no way was I attempting to tell this folks how to run their business. I made it a point of not identifying these sites for this reason.

When I started writing this post it was early in the day. I took a break to do other things. One of those was watching some training videos on script writing. It is now late at night and I am calling it a day…

Well, eleven PM is way too early for me to call it a day. So I figured that I would give adding a video a try and it worked. Yea! What a relief. Where did I find the answer? On You Tube of course. The next mission will be to learn how to wrap text around a video.

The Dangers Of Honest Blogging V 2.0

Published June 12, 2010 | By Urban

The original post: The Dangers Of Honest Blogging

The fact is that the world, no make that the internet is full of rude people who hide their identities but not their thoughts. What I am referring to is my recent posts here and on other sites about Geri’s struggles with her health issues. She has ended up in the hospital on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas, and New Years Days.

The last trip was extremely scary for me as the visits to the hospital were coming closer and closer together. She didn’t have insurance at the time thus she could not get or afford her follow-up care. We are dealing with life and death issue here and I have paid a price her being honest. The latest insult was a comment on a post that I did about her return from the hospital on Christmas Day and that was all the present that I needed.

I poured out my heart on a forum called Hall Pass. I picked it for no specific reason other than I was visiting the site and I needed to tell my story. There were several nice supportive comments. Then a very rude one. It simply read “Geri’s gonna die deal with it we all die” or something to that effect. I was extremely upset by this rude behavior. I started to respond and then I stopped myself. I thought getting me angry was the whole purpose behind such a comment. So I perused a high pathway. I choose to respond to the positive comments rather than the negative. I though I’m not giving this person validation.

These are just a few examples of what I have experienced and what others have experienced by being honest in their blog posts and since its my blog I will continue to do so. On a positive note: writing about our life and death struggles has been very beneficial for me. I am a very private person in my day to day life. I don’t enjoy a large support group that is why I turned to blogging and it has worked very well. When I started writing about Geri’s life and death struggles it was interrupted with bitter weeping and sobbing. I have overcome that, at least for now!

On the update front: Geri has returned home from the hospital. While she was there she was approved for Arizona’s version of Medicaid. So now, she can be seen by all of her specialists and receive all the meds that she needs. However, getting to see her primary care doctor was a bit of a challenge. When she called they gave her and appointment two weeks out. At that rate she will have returned to the hospital again without follow up care. I called the service provided and they offered to move up the appointment three days. I responded that even by then she will have likely been back in the hospital without ever have received follow-up care.

I was told that she would see what she could do. Amazingly, the phone rang within minutes. It was the primary care physicians office. They were offering a Monday appointment. Yea… What this means is I now am wearing another hat. This one belongs to the appointment setter which I don’t mind. As I later explain to Geri sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the oil.

As things settle down here I hope to finish a lengthy series on link building… Maybe!

Update 06/09/2010: Well, at lot has happened since I wrote that first post. I most important thing has been the improvement of Geri’s health. She still could use a liver transplant, but she has improved tremendously. Sometimes when I look at her it hard to imagine that she is critically ill. She has not looked this good in years.

I am so grateful that we changed primary care doctors. Her new doctor, one one that gave her six months to live, has been very active with her care. The former doctor asked “what do you want me to do, I’m not a specialist.” We then said come back in three months. Yes, that advice was given to someone who had spent more time in the hospital than out over the last two months!

As for that link building program that I was working on that has morphed into a much bigger program. I am currently working on an SEO and link building video training series. I have already scripted and completed the first 20 or so. Now, if I only could figure how to place them on this blog. I worked on that project last night.

I created a video about the daily life of a local SEO where I recorded my work on the internet while doing research for a n upcoming video marketing campaign for myself. The video ended up being a critic of several video websites. I had not intended doing that. It just became very obvious that many of these sites are difficult to use registration wise and I pointed out the difficulties of using the site.

I see really bad sites almost everyday and this video highlighted three sites that where not very user friendly. Some times its the color scheme or the font size that make reading the content difficult. One site had its join now link located at the bottom of a very large page.Not only that, but the font color was a very light gray and it blended in with the white background which made it extremely difficult to read for these eyes.

I will be working on learning how to add video again today.

The Missing SEO Piece

Published June 10, 2010 | By Urban

The Missing SEO Piece

Is Your SEO MIA?

I visit dozens of SEO forums on a regular basis to share what I know about SEO. Almost every time I see a post like this one on… The post generally are titled something like “SEO secrets revealed” or something similar. They posts are generally full of bad information or the show that the poster didn’t really understand SEO.

I also noticed that about 99% of conversation about SEO failed to mention the single most important aspect of SEO. So I thought that, as a professional local small business SEO solutions provider that I would set things straight on Basic SEO.

Good ole SEO is divided into On Page and Off Page SEO. On Page SEO refers to the changes to can be made directly to your website to encourage better indexing of your website. You need to have your web pages properly indexed for your targeted keyword phrases to eventually rank well. This is all very standard SEO stuff.

Then there is the Off Page SEO portion it deals with acquiring useful Do Follow backlinks.

These backlinks should include anchor text that your are targeting for that specific page. At this point most would agree that this general explanation works well without going into the specific details. The problem is that it leaves out the most important element of SEO.

The most important aspect of SEO is the least talked about. What I am referring to is the Competitive Review. All success or lack thereof in SEO is in direct correlation to what your competition is doing or not doing. It is impossible to effectively put together a winning SEO plan without knowing what your competition is doing.

For starters you need to determine how many backlinks that your primary competitors have. Then you will need to know where they got their links. This part takes a bit of research on your part. Once you have determined your competitors strengths and weaknesses you can then build an SEO plan.

A plan that is based on facts that is sure to conquer the SERP’s. if it is executed properly. Real SEO success comes from knowing what your competitors are doing and doing it better than they are.

You will note that I have not mentioned On Page SEO as part of the review process and this is why. Link building is what separates one website from another in the search results.

Most SEO providers get the On Page portion right as it entails doing about eight different things correctly. On Page SEO can often be completed in a few hours for most websites. It is the link building process that takes a huge amount of time. It is also where people cut corners to save time and money.

A quality Competitive Review will reveal your competitors weakness and strengths. It is also why I have never sold an SEO package. It is extremely difficult to win at SEO if you don’t know how your competition plays the game.

I have spent way more hours on forums than most people and when I visit forums its usually SEO related. No surprise there right? Almost every time I come across some post about “How to do SEO.”

These are usually constructed by people who need backlinks and who know little about SEO. Sometimes they are so bad that they become humorous. I tend to read these looking for what wrong rather than what’s right.

Without fail, they almost always leave out the most important aspect of SEO. The missing piece is the Competitive Review. You cannot put together a winning plan without knowledge of what your competitor has done and what they might be doing currently.

Could you imagine the La Laker’s going up against the Boston Celtics without a game plan or having studied game film. It just doesn’t happen. Each team has a crew of people dedicated to studying the oppositions strengths and weaknesses along with the players themselves. They do this because both teams want to be champions.

If you want to be a champion of your targeted markets it will require research.

SEO is all about doing certain On Page techniques and link building. You simply must to a better job than your competitors if you want to take business away from them using the internet.

This is the main reason that I have chosen not to offer package deals. SEO packages providers are selling to a certain price point they have little to do with reality. The odds of most of these packages ever working is about as good as winning the lottery.

So if you are serious about ranking well you will need to start with a competitive review. Now, I am not talking about using some web site SEO grader tools. Those are used to sell software and they do a very poor job of reviewing your competitors. Most of these programs only examine your website. While this may be helpful it only includes part of the picture.

You simply must know what your competitor has done before you can develop a plan to overcome their advantages. Then you must execute this game plan properly to come up on top of the search results.

It really is this simple!

Tucson Small Business Networking Group One Year Old

Published June 8, 2010 | By Urban

Tucson Small Business Networking Group – The original post

I am way stoked, thrilled and jumping for joy over the launching of our Ning based social network. I had been very active on another similar business networking association here in Tucson. However, that sites owner banned me from his site. That was Thursday afternoon and by Sunday evening this site was a reality. It was only a matter of time before I launched my own site.

Heck, I was putting in two hours a day on local social networking on a site that I did not own. So now, I am putting in the effort building a network of my own. I get to call the shots here and I like that. One of the advantages for me is that I don’t have a profit motive here. While I do hope to acquire business through referrals, the site is not meant to be a profit center.

I really love what I do and I love sharing what I know. There are so many tremendous opportunities available that I want to share that with other local small business owners. In many way I see myself as a small business advocate. Buying web related services can be a daunting task and fraught with anxiety. It is very easy to make mistakes. I should know I have made my share so that my members don’t have too.

I have purchased the domain Tucson Small Business Networking Group it should hopefully be redirecting traffic to the site soon. I have very high expectations that we will be ranking high for the search Tucson networking groups very soon.

Update: The redirect is in place and working. The normal 301 however would not work Ning required what is know as a Cname to work properly. This was news to me! I must admit that I still learn something new almost everyday in this business.

You can Optimize your pages but it is based on the Page Title matching the post title which is OK. However, with WordPress I can make the Post title and Page different which I do almost every time. Ning also does allow you to choose your page description. While page description does not affect search rankings it does affect click thoughts to your website. Since about 45% of searchers will decide to visit your site based on the description this is very important. Given this is a not for profit site I can live with this.

Are you ready to assist in growing this business networking association?

The Update One Year Later: Well, it has been an interesting ride this show is coming to an end. Ning is the company that is hosting the site and is the software’s creator now is going fee based. Even though it is a very small amount of money I will be closing the site down. I lost my interest many months ago.

Can You Meet Or Exceed Our Google Search Results June 2010

Published June 7, 2010 | By Urban

Can You Meet Or Exceed Our Google Search Results June 2010

Over the last month I have made it a point to visit every website where I have a record of having registered. The main focus was to clean up my links. I have closed many websites this year and I needed to recover these links where possible. This links then were changed and directed to another web page on my site.

During this process I paid close attention to the 10 specific cities that I target all across Arizona. Many of these cities I was only targeting SEO. I expanded that to focus on Local SEO and Local Internet – Website Marketing Services.

These efforts have paid off in a huge way. Many of these keyword phrases simply reversed a targeted phrase Tucson SEO would become SEO Tucson. Internet Marketing Service then became Internet Marketing Services.

I do this because these small difference do have an impact on how well you rank and how well that phrase elicits a click through response. I know from experience that those who reached my website by clicking on SEO Tucson do several things. They stay longer and they visit more pages than those who used Tucson SEO. Also by adding an ‘s” I can sometimes jump from the # 7 position to the # 1 position.

Since my job is SEO I want and seek out every opportunity to rank well. Even thought the site ranks for 178 keyword phrases visitors found my website using 687 keyword phrases. So there are many more opportunities available.

Yes, many if not most of these searches are not very competitive and that’s ok with me. I like to the top dog across many different keyword phrases. In fact I rank # 1 for 121 keyword phrases and those using these phrases are usually a highly qualified lead or competitors.

And this works for me! But it drives the affiliate marketer crazy as they are only looking for highly trafficked keyword phrases to make a few pennies per click. I go for those who might just be willing to part with some serious cash!

I should also note that I turned my Local SEO page into a page that focuses on local internet search maps like Google Places. I actually tried to add Google Places as a service in my Google Places (maps) account and got my account flagged!

No I Dont Want To Help You V 2.0

Published June 5, 2010 | By Urban

No I Don’t Want To Help You V 2.0

Now, that’s a very odd tittle for me to use. I really do enjoy helping others in a variety of different ways. That is one big reason why I blog. I am an educator at heart. Having said that I have had to say no a lot in this past month. It seems that some individuals think Tucson is a good spot to set up an SEO business. That’s ok with me. I relish the new competition and when I discover my new competition I generally welcome them.

However, I have been saying no a lot lately to these new competitors. They have been calling me on the phone and emailing me quit a bit lately. They want to be direct competitors of mine and they expect that I should not only welcome them but also assist them! They all want my expertise. They want to know everything about the market for SEO in Tucson. Plus they want all of this for free! The best offer that I have received is an offer to lunch! Heck, I have even turned down a paid offers a few months back.

I was amazed when I got the first request, but the requests kept coming. I have had five such requests in the last month alone. I can not fathom where these men are coming from. They want explicit information about SEO and the market conditions in Tucson and they expect that I should be willing to meet their desires. Not only that, they expect this information for free!

All of these individuals start off their conversations by stating that they have noticed that am all over the internet for anything SEO related in Tucson. Of course this is true. But stroking me about how good I am, is only stating the obvious and doesn’t impress me. No ego boost is going to change my mind. I got burnt early on by a web developer here in Tucson and I am extremely cautious. This person hired me do to a project for him with the understanding that I would get all of his SEO work. Problem is the work never arrived. I showed him the ropes and that was it. I was now competing with the person that I had helped. As the saying goes once bitten twice shy.

My response was very straight forward “I have no interest helping someone so they can compete with me.” Everyone who contacted me seemed shocked that the Big Dog of SEO in Tucson didn’t want to assist them and I didn’t care. The economy is tough all over and I am not going to assist someone who may later take bread off my table. So I have become every good at saying No.

Now, having said that I still offer loads of free advice on this blog and off. Last week a woman called requesting assistance on getting her website noticed. The site ended up being a very generic one page website. This person had no money for my services but I spent a very long time talking and educating this woman. The site offers Christian music but the site had no real focus. I spent much of the discussion and providing resources. We also discussed defining her sites keywords. When I asked her to define what her sight was about she could not provide a good answer. I recommended that she do some research with people where she goes to fellowship with to provide her with input about the site and how they might search for her music.

Any website that wants to be successful has to define what their website was about (keywords). I pointed out that if she focused on the keywords “Christian music” that she would have a huge amount of competition. I also explained that she would need lots of time and resources to accomplish ranking well in this area. I further explained that she needed to do lots of research to find out how others would search for her music. I went on to explain that she would need to create an interactive website to be able to take better advantage of her music. I ended up recommending that she consider WordPress.

I really enjoy conversations like this. While I am not producing billable hours I am making a deposit in the bank of good will. I truly believe in what goes around comes around. This isn’t an isolated event. I will assist just about anyone who calls, who is sincere, but generally clueless about SEO and Internet Marketing. By the way, I have saved these folks tens of thousands of dollars in the process and that makes my days!

Well, that’s my story and I’m sticking with it!

This is the update to this post. In 2009 a slew of new competitors came to me for help in the process of becoming a competitor. Some thought that coffee would buy my time. Others up the stakes and offered lunch. Still one person offered to pay me. I told me that would never happen. I can report that this guy is sticking around and is slowly moving up the rankings.

There are now a few more competitors who have entered the market and they seem to have learned from my example. They have simply followed in my footsteps and they have learned well and are doing fine. There was a day when Tucson SEO Solutions held 9 out of 10 positions in the Google SERP’s for the keyword phrase Tucson SEO. That has been reduced to three for several months.

In fact one competitor managed to out rank for for Internet Marketing Tucson for about three weeks. That lead me to change several thousand links to reflect an emphasis on Internet Marketing in Tucson.

But the fact still remains I will not help you to become my competitor!
