The Different Faces of SEO
March 19, 2011
Welcome to the Google Places SEO blog at Tucson SEO Solutions.
The Different Faces of SEO
There is a myriad of ways that you can describe the process of website optimization. There are the standard terms SEO or Search Engine Optimization.
But since we actually provide this service professionally we are more likely try to define a smaller niche within this industry. Like any good SEO we would rely on our keyword development skills to create long tails for our keyword phrases that define us.
Here are some of the many ways that we describe ourselves.
Some of us take an organic approach as in:
Organic SEO or Organic Search Engine Optimization, and others will add location into the mix, as with Tucson Search Engine Optimization.
Some will describe there skills to include:
Local SEO
Niche SEO
Solutions SEO
Business SEO
Small Business SEO
Geo-targeted SEO
Geo-targeting SEO
Real Estate SEO
Travel SEO
Holistic SEO
And to all of these you can change out the SEO for search engine optimization.
You could also market yourself as a positioning or ranking service. Perhaps, as someone who creates increased website traffic because that what our services do they produce more website visitors.
SEO is many things to many people but it is only about what can be done on a website. Many individuals consider link building as part of SEO as it has a direct impact on the search engine results page. It is considered Off Page SEO.
So as you can see there are many niches under the umbrella of SEO. You can even take Geo-targeted approach as we do and break any of these groups by location. So while it may be near impossible to break onto the first page for SEO or search engine optimization it is possible to do so within any of these niches.
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 or Stumble it.

SEO By Google – The SEO Guide
August 20, 2009
That’s right Google has created an SEO Starter Guide that clearly explains the fundamentals of search engine optimization, and it free. But before I go any further, let’s take a look back at Google’s change of heart concerning SEO. That’s right, change of heart. The fact that Google is now embracing SEO represents a 180 degree change for Google.
Back in the day, in a not so distant past Google was at odds with SEO and considered them spammers. Old timers in this business love to tell how easy it was to manipulate the search engines to gain high rankings. That put the SEO community in direct conflict with the search engines. At that time search optimizing a website meant cramming a bunch of keywords in the Meta tags. That morphed to cramming a bunch of keywords into the content. Then it again morphed into a focus on links when it was discovered that Google’s algorithm was based on backlinks. Since our efforts were considered to be spamming Google was forced to adjust their algorithms accordingly and continually.
Google’s spokesman on all matters concerning Search Engine Optimization, Matt Cutts, is part of Google’s anti spam unit. This shows us all what Google has thought about the whole SEO industry. Only recently has Google began to change its position. A few months ago they adjusted their webmaster guidelines (July 2008) to reflect a more positive view on SEO. Then a few months later (October 2008) they created their own search engine optimization starter guide. As our industry has matured Google has finally embraced our services as legitimate.
This change is good for everyone involved. Their actions have the effect of legitimizing our industry, which has had a checkered past. SEO can be very confusing for a beginner because there are a myriad of opinions and until now there has been no clear direction provided by the search engines on the best practices. That has finally come to a screeching halt.
I spend a fair amount of time on a couple of dozen industry related forums. I often suggest that people visit Google webmaster guidelines to get the true Google view of things. This is especially true when it comes to discussions on link building. Now, I have a reference for SEO related questions. Yesterday, I linked about a dozen forum comments directly to this document. In other words, this is what Google has to say about SEO.
What Google fails to mention is that it places length restrictions on Page Titles and Page Descriptions that appear in the search results. Generally Page Titles should not exceed 65 characters and spaces. Page Descriptions should should not exceed 160.
I am now, planning on incorporating this starter guide as part of my hand-outs at our seminars. Thank you Google.
