A Record Breaking Performance – The Monthly Rankings Report

July 9, 2010

A Record Breaking Performance

Keyword Wise!

In this post I provide my monthly Google rankings report for the keyword phrases that I target in Tucson, in Arizona, and nationally. I am going to announce what might be some kind of SEO feat that might actually have set a record.

I specialize in long tail keyword phrases. And it seems as if the recent Google algorithm change that is being called The May Day Update has really benefited my website. This update started at the end of April of 2010, thus the May Day name.

Many websites reported a significant drop in traffic for long tail keyword phrases in early May. Google later confirmed this update through their spokesperson, Matt Cutts. The update primarily affected long tail keyword phrases. It had a big impact on many e-commerce sites.

This site ranking report pulled in early May showed that it ranked for 108 keyword phrases. That jumped to 178 keyword phrases in the June 2010 report. It jumped again with the recently completed report from July 01, 2010.

Tucson SEO Solutions ranked for an amazing 295 keyword phrases on the first page of the Google results as of July 01, 2010…

Many naysayers will say that many of these keyword phrases are not very competitive and they would be right. They also tend to overlook things like the search for “Do Follow Lists.” This search produced 1.15 Billion results! That’s right B as in Billion.

Many of these searches simply add an “s” to a word in a phrase. That one letter is often the difference between being on the first page of the Google results and not. Another example here is the keyword phrase Local SEO. It was buried way down page two of the results. However, SEO Local ranked in the fourth spot on the first page.

Also not that I refer to we in this report, but Tucson SEO Solutions has basically been just me, Urban, since early 2009. My “honey” and business partner, Geri left to work elsewhere during the economic downturn. Then she became critically ill and in need of a liver transplant.

So basically, these results represent the work of one person. I do almost everything manually. My only automated process is the use of the password manager, RoboForm. I don’t even bother using blog commenting for links. I did a case study of its effectiveness and I found that it produced extremely ROI.

The key to my success has been the adoption of the principals enshrined in Scratch My Back Marketing. I began using this concept back on 01/01/2009. Back then the site ranked for 19 keyword phrases. I didn’t target for link building, or internet or website marketing which I now do. I almost strictly focused on Local SEO.

What really amazes me is this. I did a website upgrade that went badly and parts of the website were down off on. The blogs home page was unavailable for the last week of the month or so.

This is last month’s ranking report summary for our Google results 06/01/2010

178 Keyword Phrases ranking on the first page.

121 Keyword Phrases ranking # 1.

69 Keyword Phrases ranking both # 1 and # 2.

Are You Ready To Crush The Competition? V 2.0

June 15, 2010

The original post: Are You Ready To Crush The Competition?

Today, I am going to take yet, another look at where we are at as an SEO service provider. What we have been able to accomplish in 18 months is nothing short of incredible. This website is ranked on the first page of Google nationally anywhere from 8-13 times for keyword searches that include the search engine optimization acronym SEO. When we began designing the new website we knew we had to use a content management system.

This website was originally designed as a static website but it could be regularly updated using a WSYIWYG editor. This was a nice feature but it wasn’t a blog and it lacked the advantages that a content management system offered.

We can’t overstate the value that a blog hosted on your website can have. And there is an even greater advantage for the website that is built using a CMS. If you haven’t figured it out yet, Google likes “fresh content.” A content management system allows you to add content at will. In most cases, this only requires the ability to type.

Most blogging software can easily be set up to automatically ping whatever site you want. A ping is a message that basically says “Yo’ I have added new content over here.” These sites then visit and record a snippet of your updated information and then make it available to others on their website. Technorati is a good example of such a site.

Millions of visitors flock to these sites that aggregate information from other websites. You simply type in your search query hit enter and bingo you have the latest that the blogosphere has to offer. These sites are designed to work best with content management systems.

This is a huge marketing advantage that a content management system has over a static website. Changes on a static website are often only done by the search engines when they crawl your website. The public at large will miss these changes. Having the ability to ping creates dozens of websites that are providing you a platform to promote your website. Many of these sites that aggregate this information are the busiest n the world. The advantage here goes to the blog or CMS site.

Many of you may be skeptical, so let me provide you with some interesting numbers. This website existed as a static site for the first year. We were able to acquire roughly 1,000 backlinks from relevant blogs and websites during that year. In April of 08 we transitioned to a WordPress website. Then in May we began the process of branding our website through our blog.

At this time we were doing well building a major presence in the local SEO market. We basically own the SERP’s for anything search engine optimization related in Tucson. It took a content management system to be able to become a national SEO player in the search rankings.

When the site became a WordPress website it had no national presence for SEO. The best that we could do was number 35 for local SEO. Four months of blogging has moved us onto the first and second pages for this search. So do I believe in the power of a blog, content management systems, and fresh content, you bet!

In just four months we have acquired more than 5500 backlinks (most of these are industry related.) We have been written about or mentioned in another 30 or so blogs. We have a game plan and we are working that plan. We have already posted 150 articles on the blog. We created some good linkbait and we promote our blog often.

These accomplishments could not have occurred using a static website. I truly believe if a website transitions to a CMS such as WordPress it will begin to crush the competition. You must be prepared to put in the time and effort and If you are motivated and willing to work a specific marketing plan and blog almost daily, then my friends anything is possible. There are no secrets to success, it merely requires desire, a plan properly executed, long hours, and the ability to work smart and not hard.

Update 05/17/2009 After one year as a blog this is what we have to report. Having a blog has allowed us to acquire an additional 8,000 links to our website. Now, we lost about 3,000 links because forums that we actively used went out of business or changed their link policy. Had these changes not occurred that number would be close to 11,000. This has vaulted our website from a regional SEO player to a national leader in SEO search results across multiple keyword phrases. We could not have accomplished this as a static website.

Update 06/15/2010: Moving from a static rarely changing website to a content management system is the best business decision that I have made for this business. Two years after adding a blog we have become a national leader in the SERP’s for many things beside just SEO.

We top the ranking for searches related to internet and website marketing as well as for link building services. The blog and website rank on the first page of the Google results for 178 keyword phrases. We have also experienced a 300% increase in website traffic. We have gotten so well noticed that our content is stolen on a regular basis and placed on other sites.

I think if you tell just about any business owner that you can increase website traffic 300% that they would pay attention. The problem with this success it that it takes a lot of additional effort. You need to actually add new content on a regular basis and then go out and promote yourself on other websites. It wasn’t just adding a CMS that made the difference. It was my willingness to put a big effort into my website and to promote it that made the big difference.

Eventually people will find you and your website and if you provide useful information your visitors will work for you when they start leaving comments. These comments have a huge impact on search rankings. An interesting thing often occurs. Good content begets comments and comment beget more comments.

This blogs has received literally thousands of comments over the past two years. I would sometimes write about my life partners needs for a liver transplant. Comments left on these posts were often very moving emotionally. In those really dark days when I thought Geri was not going to survive the blog became a wonderful outlet for me. Many of those posts were written while I was crying my heart out.

But I kept writing about her illness and eventually I could complete a post without crying. When I realized this I knew that I was working through my pain and that I would eventually be OK. So a blog can also have unexpected benefits.

Are you ready to crush the competition?

How To Construct Page Titles For High Rankings V 2.0

June 3, 2010

How To Construct Page Titles For High Rankings V 2.0

This is a rewrite of an old favorite of mine. It covers the basics of how I got into this business sorta.

We have learned, as many of you have the importance of creating effective Page Titles for your website. When talking to clients, potential clients, or individuals at business mixers this is how we explain Page Titles. We compare Page Titles to the “location, location, location” mantra of real estate. The Page Title is that important.

A lot has been written about the use of effective Keywords in page titles. Since Google allows only 65 spaces for your title you should stay within this parameter. You can go longer and it will be indexed, but it will not appear in the SERP’s. If you’ve ever seen a title in the results that ended like this … then you know that the title went beyond the 65 character limit.

There is a very good reason why you should not go long. Around 45% or so of web searchers use the Page Title when choosing to click on a result. So if your keyword appears beyond the space limit it will be out of view. Out of sight often means that your effort has been wasted. Don’t get greedy and over optimize as it will work against you.

Also don’t include throw away words like and or the. Eliminate using symbols such as @,$,!, or & and also avoid using commas. We are going to take a look at the home page title from our old house cleaning website. This site launched an SEO career. It should become apparent why very soon. The Page Title reads:

Tucson House Home Cleaning Janitorial Service Office Business

And these are some of the possible combination of Keywords that include the Geo-targeted keyword Tucson.

Tucson Cleaning Service

Tucson House Cleaning

Tucson House Cleaning Service

Tucson Home Cleaning

Tucson Home Cleaning Service

Tucson Janitorial

Tucson Janitorial Service

Tucson Janitorial Cleaning Service

Tucson Office Cleaning

Tucson Office Cleaning Service

Tucson Business Cleaning

Tucson Business Cleaning Service

So this gives us a total of 12 Keyword phrases in the title.

This is how I ruled the SERP’s in Tucson for our cleaning service website. It ranked as many as 33 times on the first page of Google. Did I say that we closed that business and now exclusively provide web services. Sure these are niche markets that have very few searches every day or month. That’s why a local business or niche website must target long tail keywords. You must target as many possible keyword phrases related to your business as possible.

I have had many SEO professionals berate me for my niche approach to SEO. They always say “Well, that keyword doesn’t get many searches.” I counter it does matter because I rank well for the services that I offer and in the markets where I offer them. Some people have a hard time acknowledging others who are successful in their field of business.

The real beauty of page titles is getting two pages indexed on the first page of the Google results. This can be easily done if you target the same keyword phrase on two pages. Just to a Google search for Tucson SEO or Tucson SEO Solutions and you will see what I mean. Just make minor changes in the titles and you’ll be OK. Never, I mean never use duplicate page titles.

Remember never repeat the same word twice in your page titles it is a total waste. Strangely, I see SEO’ers doing this mistake all the time. It amazes me when I check out some of my competitors and I see some glaring problems with execution. I recently discovered that one of my direct competitors here in Tucson does not use the ALT tag on their own site. It makes me wonder how much more that they are missing!

Are you ready to create effective page titles?

Does Your Service Website Meet The Needs Factor? V 2.0

March 11, 2010

Sometimes, especially when this blog was new and I wanted to make daily posts I would write short and to the point articles. I have never been one to do much linking out to other sites when I write. I would rather tell the story myself than rely on others to tell the story for me. A lot of what I wrote about in the early days of this blog came from observations. I have again refreshed an old post that deals with service websites.

A service websites job is for lead generation for the services that they provide. However, most of them fail to realize that their job is mainly to fill a need. This post takes a look at the needs factor for these types of websites.

The original post:

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 do not want to be provided with any “Wow Factor” from your website.

Believe me, when my vehicles 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 just click away.

If you didn’t make it easy for me to determine that you could solve my problem I would also 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 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 can you do it now?

More to this update: Tucson SEO Solutions no longer offers website design or redesign services although we still have pages on the site for these services. We will work with clients to improve their content so that its is developed to create a sales funnel. I am not a designer and I simply could not find designers who could follow my instructions and timetables. It just became more hassle than it was worth.

Does your website offer solutions?

Pizza And Beer SEO

January 26, 2010

Yep, one of our standard recommendations to our clients is that they practice Pizza and Beer SEO. This is how it works. When you’re building a website keyword list you should gather a diverse group of friends, family, and business associates for pizza and beer at a local hot spot. A group of twenty or so should just fine.

Once you have the group together ask them all to make a list of words that they might enter as a search query to find your business on the web. Then sit back and enjoy your time together over pizza but hold of on the beer for now! Then after and hour or so repeat this process and record the results.

Allow your party to get started with the consumption of beer for the following hour. Now repeat the same process asking what keywords the group would use and record these results as well.

Now, your website keyword research kicks into high gear. Now, you will need create a database and record all of the information that you have gathered. You can now comb through your data to see what the common trends are and glean the gems that you might have easily overlooked.

The food and alcohol will affect each person differently and these changes will be observable in a different set of keywords that are developed. Another factor that comes into play is simply the passage of time. The longer that each person has to think about it the more likely that they will choose words that they hadn’t the first time.

It’s actually like having three different groups for market research for the price of one! Not only is Pizza and Beer SEO an effective keyword development strategy, you also save 66 % of the cost of surveying two separate groups. It also will cut you time cost in half.

You have no way of knowing what peoples state of mind this when they are searching. If you searchers is hungry or well feed these will effect how they think. If someone is highly stressed or under the influence these factors will play a significant role in determining what searches that they will use to find anything on the net.

You see, we understand that all successful websites are a collaborative effort between designer and client. The client does their keyword research and we do ours. Then together we combine this palette of words to paint a well defined and highly targeted website for both the search engine and the customer.

Update: 11/14/2008 I just presented a seminar on keyword development here in Tucson where we included Pizza and Beer SEO. The program and presentation were very well received.

Now, go forth to conquer the SERP’s in your market.

Do You Have An Amazing Ranking Story To Share?

January 26, 2010

That’s right Tucson SEO Solutions is doing some bragging today. The sites Local Internet Marketing page ranks # 1 in Google for Local Internet Marketing Services. That’s out of 573 Million web pages. What this means in reality is this. Over a half billion web pages include these four words that are currently indexed by Google.

Is that amazing or what. It trips me out (hippie speak here.) This page has ranked steadily in this position for about 5 months now. I have been able to consistently out rank websites that have been around even longer than Google! The crazy thing about all of this is that in some cases my competition has 10’s of thousands of more backlinks than I do.

So how did I accomplish this fete? Well, I simply applied myself and I began applying the principles enshrined in Scratch My Back Marketing. What I mean is that I use Web 2.0 social media sites and I add valuable and useful comments and content. In turn these sites provide useful Do Follow anchor text backlinks. It really was that simple and once I had chosen this keyword phrase for targeting it only took about six weeks to get to the top and to stay there.

That is why I cringe every time I read where someone is explaining that link building is difficult because I know that it isn’t. But none of this happens in a vacuum. It requires a well thought-out and executed plan along with lots of keyboard time.

Do you have an amazing ranking story to share?

You May Be Ranking Better In The Google Search Results Than You Think

January 14, 2010

This post was originally created back in the spring of 2009. I had driven up to Phoenix to attend an SEO Meet-up group. The topic was “What are some of your favorite internet marketing resources.” During the discussion it was mentioned that Google results may very. I found the information shared in this post so important that I have shared it on several hundred social media websites. Today, I have added another update about a real life version of this story.

The original version was titled ‘You May Not Be Ranking As Well In The Google Results As You Think.” What I discovered is that most people will be ranking higher than they think. I will explain.

If you are a website owner with an interest in internet marketing you may be getting inaccurate Google search results. Google changed how it delivers its search results a few years back. They call this personalized search and it works when you are logged into a Google account.

Here is what is occurring with personalized searches. If you are like many marketers and website owners you may be a little bit obsessed with how well that your website or sites are ranking in the Google results. This obsession likely causes you to check your search results daily or multiple times each day. This constant checking isn’t a bad thing in and off itself. However, if you start clicking onto any of the websites listed in the results it will alter what you are seeing in its results pages in the future.

The results that you are getting may be false and may not be what others are seeing when they use Google. When you are in one of your Google accounts it records your reactions to its results. Whatever sites that you click on are recorder as a vote of sorts for that website. So if you are click on your website or your competition it eventually will alter the results that Google provides but only to your account.

If you have a habit on clicking onto your own site or the competition when searching from a Google account it will definitely alters the search results that are provided to your account. I was reminded of this fact today. I was checking to see where we were ranking for the search Arizona SEO. We had been ranking in the 10th position. Today, when I checked the results had us at # 1. My first reaction was wow, that a big jump. Then I glanced up to notice that I was in a Google account. As soon as I logged out the results went back to the # 10 position. This is what I had accepted to see.

This can go the other way as well. If you have a habit of clicking on your competitor’s sites while searching it will eventually start ranking them higher than they actually appear to the general public. This is where most of the general public will run into problems with personalized results. They are so used to checking on the competition and this eventually pushes there site down in the search rankings that they are viewing in their Google account.

This also unfortunately offers unscrupulous SEO providers a tool to manipulate potential clients so do beware of this. If some one is providing a demonstration of how well they rank or their clients rank check to see if they are logged into a Google account. So do ask them to show you their results from outside a Google account. The differences can be amazing. Don’t accept no for an answer here. This really is that important.

Just another thing I though that you could use. It is the little things that we have to be aware of that can make a huge difference.

The Update: 01/14/2009

A few weeks back I had a conversation with a potential client. This mans website covered a very niche keyword phrase related to a specific educational program. He stated that even though there was almost no competition for his market that his site was buried on page two of the SERP’s. This is a very common experience for many and that why they call for my assistance.

However, when I searched for his website I discovered that his site was sitting in the fifth position on the first page of the Google search results. The difference here is that he had been using his account to search for his keyword phrase. Then he clicked onto his competitors sites. The result was that these sites improved in his results and his website declined in the rankings. This insight saved him $650.00 as he would not be requiring link building training and a detail website review. He decided that it was OK with being in the 5th position.

I very easily could have kept quiet and accepted this mans business. Then without doing anything I could have showed improved results but I don’t operate that way. Unfortunately, in these tough economic times some will succumb to this temptation. It really does pay to be cautious when buying internet services. Way too many people are willing to do anything and to tell you anything to make a buck.

The lesson here is to go straight to Google to do your keyword rankings searches. This will give you better and more accurate search results

I Could Not Believe This One

December 8, 2009

Yesterday, I was contacted by a former client that was now representing another company. They were using some SEO guy out of New Jersey. What he told me and I later verified was amazing. Originally, I was skeptical so I visited the sites in question and verified his story.

This SEO guy presented himself as an expert in the moving business and he has several clients in the industry that I could confirm. What he was doing was adding links on the sites that he was working on to his other clients sites. I counted a whole bunch of links that were going to other movers that should not have been there. My suggestion was to fire this guy on the spot. I just shake my head every time I see something like this. How did he imagine that he could get away with this?

Everything that I do for a client I do it as if I am doing it for this site. I have very high standards, unfortunately this industry is full of those that lack ethics. Everyday, I see scams and garbage SEO offerings, but this one really blew me away. One of the links was actually embedded in the text of a specific topic. The assumption was the link pointed to another page on this site that had more details about this topic. The link actually went to another movers site in another city.

I have a hard time understanding how someone can take money to do a job like this and then do something like this. The problem is that these things happen all to often and it destroys trust. Trust is a key component in this industry. People pay us and trust that we know what we are doing. But they also trust us with access too one of their primary business assets, their websites. This man destroyed that trust and that makes me upset. These things give even the good guys a bum rap.
