The Twitter revolution is really taking off. It is a messaging/diary system that allows groups of users to simultaneously engage in conversations all at the same time. As a marketer this can be a golden tool if utilized properly.
It can be a dynamic location for link bait ideas, breaking stories and general topics you might not think about on a daily basis. It really is a great opportunity to generate traffic to your site and to make sales.

Twitter offers unique opportunities for the enhancement and expansion of traditional marketing and social media marketing campaigns. Some of the ways you may wish to do this are;

  • Building Relationships With Prospective Clients
  • Promoting Events
  • Providing Insight & Commentary On An Event In Real Time
  • Promoting Special Offers
  • Press Releases
  • Website Traffic Generation

The biggest companies and individuals in the world are using Twitter so there really must be something in it. Sign up now at www.twitter.com  and start promoting your business or passion.

This is quality targeting on a global scale and the best point is that this is totally free. Successful internet marketing starts with free advertising, especially if you do not have a large budget to invest in other areas. Twitter is taking off massively so take advantage of it.

The only real downside to Twitter at present is that it is hard to see which followers are in the target market you are aiming at. Also most people who join your account are there to promote their own products or service which can just lead to lots of messages promoting but not a lot of people actually looking at your site. It is really a numbers game but you will get results over time.

I run my own internet business and am looking for people to join my team so I can train them how to be successful online and how to earn life changing money through internet marketing.

You will recieve full training, ongoing support, a personal assistant, websites, 1000’s of digital products and ebooks with exclusive resell rights and the chance to earn £2,000 for every sale without ever having to speak to anyone, hold stock or pester family and friends. http://www.online-marketing-income.com

6 Ways to Get Your Site Indexed by Today
icon1 admin | icon2 SEO Tips | icon4 03 30th, 2009| icon3Comments Off

By Cheow Yu Yuan

If your website is not indexed by search engines, it will not appear on the search engine listings. Therefore, when your website is live, the first thing you must do is to let the search engines notice your website and index it. In this article, let me share with you 6 ways to get your site indexed by today:

1. Submitting a XML sitemap to search engines.

The xml sitemap includes links to every page of your website. It is a file that you can submit to search engines to get your pages indexed. By submitting your xml sitemap, you will notify the search engines about your website and index every page of it. You can upload your sitemap to Google by creating a free Google Webmaster account.

2. Create a HTML sitemap page on your website.

A HTML sitemap is very different from a xml sitemap file. A HTML sitemap is a page on your website that is visible to your visitors. It will list down all the links to every page of your site. This allows visitors to navigate your site easily and allow search engine spiders to follow the links and discover all pages.

3. Place HTML text links on your website.

Search engine spiders follow HTML text links to discover other pages of your website. Therefore, you must ensure that you use HTML text links for simple navigation menu so that search engine spiders can follow. Also, you should hyperlink keywords within your content and point them to other pages of your site. This is a good way to tell search engines what pages are important.

4. Directory submission.

Submit your website URL to a list of SEO-friendly directories. DMOZ, Yahoo Directory and BOTW are important directories that you must submit your website to. It is, however, not all directory submission is free. Some may require you to pay a small fee for your website submission.

5. Article marketing.

Write articles and place your website URL in the Author Resource Box. Then submit your articles to a few popular article directories. Once your articles are approved and published, your URL will be live online and this allows search engine spiders to follow the link to discover your website.

6. Using social websites.

Social media sites are generally indexed regularly by search engines. So by placing your website URL on social sites, search engines spiders can discover your URL very quickly and index your new website.

Before a website can rank high and get organic search engine traffic, it needs to be indexed first. Search engine spiders are looking for new websites and pages every day. By getting a link on sites that get indexed regularly, it will ensure that your new website get indexed quickly.

Link Farms

One unsuccessful method of increasing linkpopularity is by becoming part of a “linkfarm.” Link farms are networks of sites that have all agreed to link to one another. Each of the sites in the link farm has a page containing links to all the other sites that are part of the farm. One of the problems with this strategy is that the content of the sites that are linked together does not necessarily share any common theme. Therefore, even though your site may have a seemingly high link popularity score,most of the links carry very little weight since they lack relevancy to your site.

Some link farms have tried to improve on this by categorizing their members and only establishingl inks between members that have related content. While this is an improvement,it still does not address the core issue—a link farm is an artificial method of improving link popularity,and most search engines have mechanisms in place to either ignore or actually penalize link farm participants.

FFA Sites

Another worthless link popularity strategy involves submitting your site to FFA(FreeForAll)sites. These websites allow you to submit your site to them for free and will display your link on their pages. The idea is that users will go to these pages simply to find links to websites they might want to visit. In theory,this should help to increase your link popularity,since links to your site could potentially appear on thousands of other sites. However,these FFA pages only display a small number of links at onetime. As new website links are submitted, the older ones are removed without notification. Since it’s a free service,new links are constantly be ingadded. The chances that your link will stay on these pages for any significant amount of time are pretty slim. Many of the software submitters that advertise submitting to thousands of search engines are actually submitting to FFA sites. The problem is that since so many people use these software tools,you would constantly need to submit your site, possibly even hourly, for the FFAs to be of any benefit to your site.

Additionally,it’s unlikely that the content on an FFA site would have any relationship what so ever to the content of your site. Since the links are completely non relevant, they are given very little weight by search engines. You would probably be better off having 25 highly relevant links to your site than 1,000 non relevant links.

The worst part of this system is your required reciprocation for the service. FFA sites are actually e-mail address collection engines. They require you to give them your e-mail address when you submit your site. Then they sell your address to e-mail marketing companies,and you receive a deluge of spam mail that never stops.

1. Tell your friends
Give them a reason to link to you and read your blog.

For example, an RSS TOOL created by TopRank Marketing SEO Guru, Thomas McMahon, has over 260,000 Inbound Links.

6. Run a contest or poll
Give recognition to a useful tool while letting the community interact and engage. Or run a poll and create a badge for the winner, which gets placed on their site and Links back to your blog. Create a badge page and make it easy for someone to upload the badge to their site, with a Link back to you.

7. Get Syndicated
Getting syndicated, in an intentional way, to create Inbound Links back to the blog. Collectively, the Inbound Links add up.

We all know that done correctly advertising can be a good return on investment. However finding the best places to advertise that will bring in good returns can be difficult. What makes things more difficult is that it’s hard to track what is working and what is not in traditional advertising methods. The old saying “I know that half my advertising works but not sure which half” is a consistent problem for advertisers.

This is where search engine optimisation comes in. The first big advantage is that SEO can bring you targeted traffic to your business so the only people that see you listings are people who are actively looking for your products or services. This is just not possible in print advertising, television or radio.

The problem with traditional advertising is that if for example, you advertise on the radio a lot of your adverts will be heard by people and businesses that are not interested in what you’re offering. So this means some of your budget is wasted. In traditional advertising it’s mostly a numbers game. In the correct hands search engine optimisation can be a more powerful cost effective advertising tool.

Many people also think that SEO is expensive I think this is because they don’t really fully understand as they are fine to spend lots of money of print ads which sometimes don’t bring in as good a return on investment.

What SEO does is put your customers who are searching for products you offer directly in contact with your website. When we are looking online the first place we go is a search engine and if your business is not on that all important first page then you are loosing out to your competitors. Can you afford to do this? I think not.

Search engine optimisation is built on using the correct keyphrases that people type into the search engine that are related to your industry. A good SEO company can do all this for you. The other major advantage here is by using your server logs and Google analytics you can track your sales and see exactly where your advertising budget goes and how to improve it. A print ad just cannot give you this level of testing.

You really must think of search engine optimisation as advertising and I think that’s were the problem lies most business don’t see it as advertising but at the end of the day that’s exactly what search engine optimisation is and the end goals are the same.

If you add many keyword on the same web page, then the web page will be somewhat relevant to many keywords. If you optimize a web page for one keyword/keyphrase, then your web page will be very relevant to this keyword.

It is much easier to get high rankings if the web page is very relevant to the searched keyword. For that reason, you should optimize as many pages of your website for as many keywords as possible.  The keywords for which you optimize your web pages should be related. If you have a shoe shop, optimize different pages of your website for the keywords sports shoes, sneakers, sandals and boots. By having optimized web pages for these keywords, you show Google that your website is relevant to the topic shoes.

Google’s sandbox filter
icon1 admin | icon2 Google | icon4 03 26th, 2009| icon3Comments Off

Google’s sandbox is a filter that Google’s search quality team created some years ago to fight spam in the search results. If you have a new website or if you made major changes on your website then Google’s sandbox filter might be the reason why your website’s rankings have dropped.

How does Google’s sandbox filter work?

The usual process is that Google indexes a new website, lists it for some less important queries in the search results and then the web pages drop from the search engine result pages for several months. Although other search engines work fine, Google doesn’t list the web site, sometimes not even for the company name. In general, brand-new web sites with new domain names need about 8-10 months to start o get high rankings on Google

Why does Google use the sandbox filter?

It’s likely that Google delays the inclusion of brand-new web sites to encourage webmasters to build content instead of building mini-networks. Some webmasters try to artificially inflate the link popularity of their web site by creating a network of small web sites with different URLs that all link to each other. Many of these web sites have no purpose other than linking to the main web site.

By delaying the ranking of new web sites, this mini-network strategy doesn’t offer a quick jump to the top anymore. The delay might encourage webmasters to focus on the content of their main web site instead of building useless mini sites. Google’s sandbox is Google’s attempt to prevent spammers from creating low quality web sites. Nearly all websites have to go through this filter.

A search engine is a system designed to find information on the Internet. This is an information retrieval system designed to help find information stored on a computer system. Yahoo, Google, etc; are good for looking up anything. It is an essential tool that enables users to locate information on the World Wide Web.

Today Google rolling out two new improvements to the search. The first offers an expanded list of useful related searches and the second is the addition of longer search result descriptions — both of which help guide users more effectively to the information they need. For example, if you search for [principles of physics], our algorithms understand that “angular momentum,” “special relativity,” “big bang” and “quantum mechanic” are related terms that could help you find what you need.

Here’s an example :

Method for detecting link spam in hyperlinked databases

Methods for facilitating the identification of link spamming in a linked database include calculating a spam likelihood value for nodes in a directed graph of linked nodes are disclosed. The spam likelihood value is computed from an importance of the node and a derivative value of the importance function with respect to a coupling factor. The likelihood that the node’s importance is inflated by link spam is estimated by calculating the ratio of the magnitude of the derivative value for the node to the rank for the node. Alternatively, the spam likelihood may be computed directly from a component of the principal eigenvector of A evaluated at two values of the parameter c. The normalized derivative value can also be used to provide an order of importance in a list of nodes.”
