SEO Exposed Part 5: How To Keep Your Search Engine Results Moving Up

by Andrea Kropp
April 17th, 2010

Achieving optimum positions in Google’s natural search results is a long term SEO goal. You will NOT get there quickly. I’ve given you a strong foundation to start with in terms of setting up your strategy and thinking to deliver positive, focused results. Here’s something you need to be aware of – following my instructions exactly in the beginning does not mean that your website will magically appear on the top page of Google.

You cannot do the things in my article series and say that “your SEO is done” or “my website is optimized.” Google is a dynamic, fluid entity that indexes, rates and positions web content on a monthly basis. They really only do a complete scan of the web once every 22 – 30 days. They’re continuously indexing, and no one knows the schedule or secrets of exactly what they do or when. While you’ve restructured and set up your pages in a manner that makes it easy for Google to scan and rate your content, you need to set aside time on an ongoing basis if you want to pass the competition.

Data is Your Best Friend

Hopefully you’ve kept your collected data handy. You need to look carefully at each keyword you are targeting. You also need to look constantly at where the competitor websites you study are positioned.

As you start to appear in the search results, you should always look ahead to the competitor who is closest to your current position for each keyword. They represent the next obstacle in gaining position, and you have to go after each position close to you if you want to move up.

Look carefully at their website. Study their Meta Titles and Meta Descriptions for the pages that are listed ahead of you for each keyword. Rewrite yours every month to be “richer” or more keyword dense than theirs. Increase the keyword density for your pages every month, and spend every month increasing the number of back links that have your keywords in the anchor text for the link.

Keep the Backlinks Coming

One way to get good, relative high score back links is to use the social networking websites, social bookmarking websites and the article marketing directories. Keep releasing good, relative content on a monthly basis and you will move up past the competitor who is next in line in Google. If you’re using social networking websites like Facebook or Myspace or Twitter, set up accounts for yourself as well as Business pages for your various activities. Release information on these sites linking back to your main site, but again make sure you use the keywords you’re targeting linked back to your website’s pages that best match.

Well written and focused articles submitted to all the major article directories using a tool like Automatic Article Submitter will bring in even higher quality back links. You’re only usually allowed one or two links in the Author Box for each directory, so use that link space carefully and again, tie it to the keyword or focal point of the article and drive it back to your website.

Slow and Steady Wins the Race

I can’t stress to your enough how important proper SEO is. I also can’t stress enough how key it is for you to budget your time effectively. Schedule set days on your calendar EVERY MONTH where you will address, tweak and refine your SEO strategy. It’s the only way to ensure that, several months down the road, you start seeing a flow of organic traffic coming in from good positions.

Keep your core keyword focus consistent for 6 – 8 months. Don’t try to keep optimizing or adding new keywords to your mix, or your activities will get out of control. If you change your keyword approach at month 3, all your previous work those 3 months is pretty much lost. Successful SEO is all about focus and diligence.

What’s Working Now? Hot Search Engine Tips (SEO) for 2010

by Andrea Kropp
April 8th, 2010

It’s a new year, and as ever, things are always changing with Google and how they tabulate and position the organic search results. If you’re new to online network marketing, you’re almost lucky, as you can get started out with a clean slate in terms of getting your website positioned well in Google. If you’ve already got a track record online, you’re going to have to take a step back and change some of your thinking.
For both groups, you cannot afford to be afraid of change. Make change a part of your business strategy and spend time continuously implementing change. The leading search engines like Google really work off of a monthly cycle for their updates and scans of content, so you don’t need to make addressing your search strategies a daily chore. Review your results and your strategies, tactics and methodologies about once a month and set aside time to make some changes. It’s probably best to put aside 3 hours a month on review and continuing education on the search engines and how they operate, and to allow about 5 – 15 additional hours per month to actually make any changes or adjustments.

Content is Still King

The core element driving Google and how they rate and position websites are related to content, content and content. Since you’re a small business and simply can’t compete on a number of pages basis with larger companies, you’ll have to find other ways to differentiate yourself in Google’s eyes. Here’s some tips on gaining search engine position. Some of these tactics are only good for short term results, but doing these things as part of your strategy will help Google to see and rate your website much higher than if you just sat there “waiting for something to happen” on its own.

Learn Keyword Targeting:

This is the number one problem facing small Internet marketers. You have to find the exact combination of keywords that fit your website’s themes and products. Use Google’s Keyword Tool to research the search volumes for various keywords you think are good for your website. Only choose keywords that have traffic hitting them! Don’t target the keywords that have huge amounts of traffic, as those will be saturated with websites going after them. You need to find the “sweet spot” for you – keywords that are relevant and targeted, but with medium to medium high search volume. Keep this list of keywords as getting top position is a long term goal, and you need to stay on track. These are the foundation for carving out your own niche in the online world.

Build a Blog:

Rich text content is like flypaper for the search engine spyders. The way blogs are structured with long postings and a hierarchy of themed areas fits perfectly within how Google sniffs out content. Either put a blog within your website or set up a free blog outside the structure and link it back heavily. Use a unique domain if you do this, as the blog will count as an important, relevant back link to your website from day one of its launch.

Use Social Bookmarking:

Relevant, themed back links with traffic hitting them and coming through them is really the best way for you to move your relatively small website up in the results quickly. Sign up for a social bookmarking service like Social Marker, Onlywire or others, and submit EVERY single blog entry you create to the social bookmarking websites. If you make Digg or any of the secondary bookmarking sites, you will get A LOT of traffic hitting your posts. And that traffic will GREATLY help your website appear in the results.

Use the Social Networking Sites:

Create Facebook and Twitter accounts for your business and link them together, so one feeds off the other. That way you only need to ever update one of the accounts. Set up your auto-responder software so that periodically an email goes out to your list telling them to join you on Facebook or Twitter. Every time you create a new blog entry, release it on these 2 devices. Again, you’ll get traffic flowing into the website from relevant back links.

Piggy Back on Others’ Position:

This is complicated but take a moment and think about it. There are a lot of text rich websites that have very strong search position. Some of these websites are free article directories that will carry any themed or relative content submitted to them. Get yourself a program like Automatic Article Submitter. It makes this process easy, efficient and pain free. Take all of your blog entries that are relative to concepts or products (leave out any personal blog entries) and mix them using the software’s spinning software. This lets you submit unique, non-duplicate content with your name and links back to your blog to over 300 article directories online. For the directories that pick up your submissions, you get HEAVY back linking from sites that Google already rates very highly. You see why we call it piggy backing? This can get appropriately written articles with your name on them high up in Google temporarily. Think of the article directories like a trampoline that people bounce on; where they land just happens to be your overall blog and website.

Embrace Change:

Review your website’s position monthly in the search engines for the keywords you are targeting. Here’s something our friends in the SEO consulting business tell us. As you start to move in the results, look closely at who is one page ahead of you. Pick out the websites on that page who look like they do NOT belong there. Examine their website closely and look at their Title tags (the top of the browser window) and their Meta Descriptions (the description under their name in Google results). You’ll probably see the same keywords you are targeting in their Titles and Descriptions. Go back and tweak your website to match, then go into your content, particularly the homepage, and add more instances of the same keywords that you’re targeting to your text on the pages. Make sure you use them in a way that makes sense! And if you’re going to run any pay per click, or Adwords, now’s the time to do it. Make sure your landing pages within your website have the keywords you’re trying to “take” ladled throughout and hot link them to other pages in your website. Our friends in the SEO business call this “guerilla warfare.”
There’s a lot more to know. SEO is a complicated business and a huge consulting industry on its own. Doing the things I mention above can REALLY help you get results in 2010, so that you see some return on your time and resources spent. Running an online network marketing business is all about getting some success early, so you can keep your enthusiasm high and build upon the results.

SEO Exposed Part 4:SEO Tactics for Single Page Websites (aka Capture Pages)

by Andrea Kropp
March 29th, 2010

Single page or landing page websites have unique challenges when it comes to the search engines. We’ve shown you a lot about proper SEO for your website during this article series, but there are some built-in obstacles that single page websites face that we will address directly.

The main issue is from a content and navigation standpoint. You really only have one page that Google will see. And you can’t use any of our navigation coding tricks that we explained, since there is no navigation!

You should still go into the landing page and make sure you have 10 – 15 instances of your keywords appearing correctly within the text, subheads and headlines. You should also use the H1 tag wherever possible. And of course get your Meta Title and Meta Description as ideally related to your overall keywords as you possibly can.

This is about the best you can do in terms of OPTIMIZING the landing page website. You’ll need to put some other measures in place that also exploit Google’s search algorithm, since you can’t match up on a content standpoint.

1. Take advantage of changes to the backlink rating system:
If you’re a home based business or online network marketer and have several landing page websites, you can do certain things to help yourself. In a small inconspicuous place usually under the page footers in each landing page, set up navigation linking your pages together. KEEP IT AT THE BOTTOM BECAUSE YOU WANT TRAFFIC HITTING YOUR LANDING PAGES TO STAY FOCUSED ON YOUR MESSAGE AND OFFER! Use keywords from each landing page’s SEO strategy as the anchor text for the navigation links. Call the area “Other Resources” or “Sites You May Be Interested In” so that it seems to belong or have a purpose on the page. Ideally, you’ll have each landing page assigned to a unique IP address or host, so that Google doesn’t know all your landing pages are owned by the same person. In this way, you can get high relative scores for the quality of these backlinks between your own websites!

2. Build an “About Me” paragraph as a secondary or tertiary component of the page.
Carefully write a 5 – 7 sentence paragraph about you, your mission/vision/philosophy, areas of specialty, etc. and build it into the bottom of the page as part of the footer. You can relatively small in terms of font sizing and structure when compared to the rest of the page. Get your targeted keywords for your main website into this paragraph and hot link those keywords to your main website. Do this for each landing page that you control BUT REWRITE THIS PARAGRAPH EACH TIME IT APPEARS. Keep the hot links but make sure the sentences and content are not duplicated exactly. It will deliver better results for your main website in Google.

3. Use Pay Per Click to generate targeted traffic to these cross linked landing pages.
If you can afford it, drive some traffic via Pay Per Click from the search engines. Keeping a small presence in Google via Adwords on the right and top of the pages will keep you in the search results while your landing pages catch up on an SEO basis.

4. Store relavant content BEHIND the landing pages.
You may want to consider archiving your emailer or auto-responder text in html pages behind the sites. Don’t do this if you are using pre-made or pre-written emails as you will get no benefits from duplicate content. Link your auto-responder and email samples together with simple navigation and put a link somewhere on your landing page into this “directory” you have created. DO NOT MAKE THE LINK COMPLETELY INVISIBLE OR IN TOO SIMILAR OF A COLOR TO THE BACKGROUND COLOR IT IS PLACED ON. You will get penalized for this. What this technique does do is give the impression to Google that you have more pages with deeply relative content.

5. Use techniques like social networking, social bookmarking and article marketing to build up high levels of relative back links.
All of these techniques can actually drive real traffic as well as improve your website’s organic placement substantially. Using article marketing in conjunction with a tool like Automatic Article Submitter can get you HIGH, PAGE ONE placement in Google for good quality keywords on a temporary basis. You can get 50 – 100 high quality back links for every properly structured article that you submit!

These techniques can help your individual landing page websites perform better in Google’s natural results. If done exactly as we noted, your individual landing page websites can greatly help your main website perform better in the search results.

Stop Repeating Yourself

by Andrea Kropp
December 4th, 2009

06_repetitionWhen I’m wearing my Mom hat, I’m constantly repeating myself. Online I say it once and only once.

If you’ve ever attempted online marketing, whether you are involved in network marketing or not, you probably quickly discovered that there are tens of social media sites, hundreds of article databases, and literally thousands of directories. Visiting each of these sites and repeating yourself would consume your entire day. The shear magnitude and vast expanse of the Internet is enough to frighten most newbie online marketers away. Truth be told, being frightened away is probably better than doing it wrong. Without the right knowledge and toolkit you’ll spend a lot of time and only cover a tiny portion of the sites and searches that could drive your target market to you.

Where to begin? Where to post? What free services are good? Which paid services delver a good value?  The list of questions goes on.

Here are two tips – one free and one paid

1) Use TwitterFeed and Ping.fm to connect your blog, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace account (and more). Every time you update your blog, the blog’s RSS feed notifies TwitterFeed. TwitterFeed then notifies Ping.fm. Ping.fm branches out to update your Facebook status, your Linked in status and Tweets for you. One message…Lots of places…Presto.

2) Use Automatic Article Submitter to create multiple versions of your articles and post them to hundreds of sites automatically. This tool rocks. It includes an article writer and spinner and submits the resulting article to 300+ directories all at once or on a schedule you specify. The help/FAQ book that comes with it is all you need to get your first article out the same day.

Take it from a busy Mom. I hate repeating myself. Online, I don’t have to.
