9 Essential SEO Tips for Small Business in 2011


1. Keyword Phrases. One word phrases are a thing of the past time. Yes, it is important to have fixed or specific keywords targeted as they relate to your brand and overall business industry however we have to keep an eye on what phrases people are querying to find us. Delving into your analytics and analyzing how people are finding you and comparing that to what you wish to be found for will help to secure your ranking in the SERP's.

2. Content. The content play most important roll that you are creating. It is not only built around keywords, it is built from what people are going to find useful, has a high propensity to be shared and also to be created from what people would want to link to. The content when we think in the different ways it will be viewed enhances how it is created.

3. Mobile Friendly. As per SEO point of view if a site that is not mobile friendly is losing visitors. We have become a mobile dependent society and adapting your site to mobile devices is not only increasing your chances of searchers having the ability to view your site, it is also securing the trust with them as ultimately when we are searching, we want results. The results via a mobile device need to be more immediate and valuable.

4. Local Search. Local search is still a warm topic. Google Places becoming the default for many industry specific searches has changed the way that people are accepting the search results. This is where the major change has taken place. Users have had to embrace this search result change. They want results that they feel that they faith. Appearing in the results starts the faith.

5. Link Building. A link building tactic that encompasses internal and external linking through directories, reciprocal links as well as engaging in social media through commenting on blogs, creating content that is linked to as well as web pages that are a resource to be linked to is going to point to your site through the search engines as a point of reference and increase your rankings.

6. Canonical Pathway. Creating a clear and precise canonical pathway domain sets to avoid multiple page variations (ie http://www.yourwebsitepage vs http://yourwebsitepage and duplications. The search engine spiders crawl and are unable to determine which the preferred pathway for your site is. Establish one pathway.

7. Crawl Frequency. How often are your pages being crawled? Blogs are crawled and ranked very rapidly. Internal web pages that are not linked to or updated and have high visit volume are not crawled as regularly. Monitor through your cache how often your pages are being crawled to determine which pages need to be crawled more regularly and this also can give some insight as to when a new page or blog (for those that are not blogging every day) should be posted to ensure that the page is being crawled and indexed when the crawlers are crawling.

8. Photo Alt Tags. Alt tagging photos seems sometimes to be forgotten. The spiders cannot see the photo, but they can see the text that is associated with the photo. Creating alt tags that contain keywords are not only preventing the stop gap for the spiders, it is allowing an extra source for keyword density.

9. Site Speed. The speed in which your site downloads matters. Visitors will click off a site is taking too long to load. The faster the site loads the more time is spent on the site. This not only is beautiful to the user, but the speed of a site matters to the search engines. Of course, the content will outweigh the speed but if you have great content that is slow and people will not wait for it, the search engines will not rank it.

These tips are necessary to be ready for 2011. Search is only growing as we see users engage online for longer periods and having an ability to do so on the run. Mobile usage, desktop/laptop usage while at work and at home will continue to increase. People are online and trust the search engines to give them results. Can the search engines faith you to give them what they need to rank you?

Important Roll for Search Engine Reputation Management


Search engines have become trendy these days, and they have become more important than ever on various companies maintaining their personal websites. Businesses however understand that not unless the website has traffic, they are just wasting costs. Therefore, there is the importance of establishing web presence. Basically, the more often a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. In order to make this happen, you will need SEO.

SEO is an acronym for "search engine optimization" or "search engine optimizer." Deciding to employ an SEO is a big conclusion that can potentially get better your site and save time, but you can also risk damage to your site and reputation.

Your reputation is an integral part of your industry. If your USP (Unique Selling Proposition) is outstanding customer service, information that disputes that claim can be very damaging. Getting your reputation spoiled would mean a fall in rankings. And that is not a good response.

Whether the reputation risk is self inflicted by bad presentation or created by false or misleading information, it can have a caustic effect on your bottom line. It exposes the following:

- Corporate Image
- Regulatory problems
- Branding issues
- Stock Prices
- Revenue performance
- Product/service inferiority

The communicable information gets overlooked always as opposed to what to be paying attention on. The worst is that they consider product reviews, commentary, competitor's comments and blog/forum posts from unhappy customers as appropriate information. People likely will look for these things when getting to know about various corporation products and services. It cannot be set aside, because these are obviously part of a company's identity. Protest sites are becoming increasingly popular because if they are set up properly, as stated above, they can have an effect on your production. The best way to avoid these is to implement a management system.

You might need some backup, and something to do that job is SERM or Search Engine Reputation Management. Search engine reputation management is one way of defensive one company's brand or reputation from damaging content through search engine services. They are often employed by companies, in attempts to minimize hurt caused by flame websites, competitors, or even consumers. This includes SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and Online Content management. Since search engines are in constant change and modifications, it is essential that current and future results are strictly monitored.

As an overview, the use of search engine reputation management minimizes risk of disclosure by uncovering any damaging content, neutering the content by pushing it down in search results or correct any misinformation, and going back to doing what you do best which is running your industry.

11 Free Ways to Gain Traffic and Links

#1 Social Bookmark – There are many great social bookmarking sites out there such as Digg, Reddit and more. Take your time to submit your best work to at least 30-50 of them. If it’s good enough, it can go viral and send you thousands of new visitors.

#2 Article Submission – Submit unique articles to directories such as iSnare and Ezine Articles. These sites are going to allow you to put a link at the end of each article. This is a great way to not only a great way to drive traffic but get a link back from an authority status as well.

#3 Press releases – Make sure that you build a press release with a reputable source. Submit it to services such as PRWeb, and you will find that if the media likes it, your phone will be ringing off the hook. It’s a great way to get into major media outlets and more.

#4 Help a reporter – HARO (helpareporter.com) is a fantastic resource to use when you want to hook up with people that work with huge media outlets such as the New York Times and more. Subscribe to the free newsletter, and communicate with those that you can help. Most are nice enough to link back.

#5 Guest blog – Find blogs that are in your niche, and offer great content that is unique. What you’re going to do is not only expose yourself to a new reader’s base, but you will find that it’s a great way to get traffic as well.

#6 Directories – Some higher quality based directories such as BOTW and DMOZ can yield some great traffic. Keep in mind that most directories such as these are only going to link to those with great content. You’re going to want to make sure that you have something worth linking to. Try and avoid blasting your site to 10,000 directories at once.

#7 Join your local chamber of commerce – Joining your local chamber of commerce is not only a great way to connect with those around you, but build your brand awareness to those that want to learn. You’re going to find that these people are going to be more than willing to help you with linking back to your site, or even pay you to help them!

#8 Yahoo! Answers – I love yahoo answers because they allow you to leave a link when you answer questions. As long as you don’t spam the service, you’re going to find that you can get some good traffic from some of the questions that they ask. Just leave a great answer, and you will find that it may be chosen as the “best answer.”

#9 Wikipedia – This is a hard one, but it can work. If you have a legit site with few ads, you can add your link to Wikipedia. Keep in mind that a link that violates their guidelines will get deleted rather fast. If you go this route, make sure that you’re adding your site to a category that best suits your topic.

#10 2.0 Sites – I have found that sites such as Squidoo and Hubpages are a great way to not only gain traffic, but make money as well! Since these sites are authoritative, it’s a great way to tap into their traffic source.

#11 Forum Signature – The last thing that I would recommend is that you start posting on a message board. Make sure that the message board is related to your website. What you’re going to want to make sure you do is place your URL in your signature. This is a great way to get traffic to your site.

Difference between SERP Rank and Google Pagerank

SERP Rank

The SERP (Search Engine Results Page) is the actual result returned by a search engine in response to a keyword query. The SERP rank of a web page is based on a continuously adjusted set of over 200 factors including Pagerank.

Google Pagerank

Pagerank is the link analysis algorithm used by Google to decide a web page’s importance. Google assigns a numeric weighting from 0-10 for each webpage on the Internet.

5 Types of keywords

Before you can start optimizing your site for the search engines, you must first know which terms you want to target. A good start would be to choose 3 or 4 keywords you would like your website to rank well for. With these keywords in your mind you can then set a goal to rank in the top 10 results on Google for each of them (we refer to Google because if you can rank well there, you'll rank well on the other search engines). These keywords can be either broad or specific, but you'll want to study our list of pros and cons of each before choosing.

1-
Broad Keywords

A broad keyword is one that many people search for, because they may only have a vague idea of what they're looking for. Broad keywords tend to be very short and aren't very specific (e.g. "shoes" or "sports"). These keywords are difficult to rank #1 for because so many other websites might have an article or two that mention shoes. However, if you can rank well for a broad keyword, you will be receiving a great deal of traffic.

Summary: Hard to rank for, but worth it in the long run. We recommend that beginners only choose a broad keyword if their industries are not very competitive.

2- Specific Keywords

A specific keyword is something that contains many adjectives or words that make the search very targeted. The people doing these types of searches know exactly what they want (e.g. "used black high heel shoes"). These keywords are much less competitive and are easier to rank for on search engines. The downside is that they receive a great deal less volume of searches per month. In terms of traffic, you will need to have several #1 rankings for specific keywords to equal one #1 ranking broad keyword.

Summary: Easier to rank for and it's highly targeted traffic. The only downside is that the number of visitors you will receive is relatively low.

3-Unique or Branded Keywords

These are the words that are specific to only your company. They are one of the most easiest ways to get traffic. However, some companies will release a new product, with a unique name, and then forget to optimize for that keyword on their website. Their SEO savvy competitors can then pick up the slack and take over the top rankings for these terms. If you have a popular brand or product, make sure that you have optimized for these freebie keywords.

4-Keyword Research Tools

Keyword research tools are 2 parts voodoo magic and 1 part hard statistic. This is partly due to Google not releasing actual numbers and partly due to overeager SEO Tool developers trying to sell their products. Because there is such a sizable uncertainty in all keyword research tools, it is best to use as many different sources as you can,. Even with multiple sources, you should only take the information you gather as a recommendation, rather than a fact.

Yahoo has been releasing their keyword search information for years, and many tools are based off of this specific data. We've collected a wide variety of helpful tools that will give you a general idea of which keywords you should target when making and optimizing your websites.

5-Picking a Short List

To put the optimizing tactics that we teach to good use, we recommend that you try to target no more than 2 or 3 keyword phrases per page. A common mistake by many SEO beginners is to stuff 500 different keywords on one page and wait for the #1 rankings to roll in. That might have worked 10 years ago, but the algorithms that search engines use these days are much more sophisticated and are not tricked by this. That's why it's best to start small, and be concise with the keywords that you choose. New sites in particular will find it nearly impossible to rank well for many keyword phrases upon first starting out.
