Search Engine Optimisation Simplified

by Jason Kendall

SEO is essentially a constantly evolving study of what factors the search engines take into account when they ‘rank’ you in their natural search listings. ‘Natural’ search listings are the main lists of results that come up when you search for something. They’re in addition to the PPC lists. The PPC (paid) entries tend to feature at the top and right side of the page. All the others are ‘naturally’ listed from the Search Engine’s index. Search Engines use algorithms to determine a website’s relevancy and importance. This is how they decide on which order to place them in.

Clearly, the goal is to get to the top of the page. Nobody will know we’re there if we’re way down on page eight! No-one knows all the factors that Search Engines (SE’s) use to determine your rank. The SE’s really don’t want anyone to know – so you can’t manipulate or ‘game’ their system.

Nevertheless, an entire industry has evolved around Search Engine listings. So there are the Search Engines busily working on new systems on one side. This causes mass confusion over which methods they use for ratings. And to rival that, we have a large Search Engine Optimisation sector. This involves measuring various factors and doing empirical tests to establish the most important ones to target.

There are two sides to SEO: ‘On-Page’ factors & ‘Off-Page’ factors. In addition there are geographic and demographic factors, but SEO cannot control these. (Off-Page optimisation is examined in an additional feature.)

Search Engine Optimisation ‘On-Page’

It’s possible to change the pages of your website to make them ‘friendly’ to the Search Engines. It’s not too complex – it just requires setting your website up the right way. For instance: Utilising H1 and H2 Header Tags, Internal Linking, Keywords and Meta Tags.

Don’t worry if you don’t understand the technical terms. In reality, this is very easy to control, but not wildly effective. To be fair, it’s generally assumed now to have very little import indeed. Previously we could make an impact with On Page configurations. But that door has been completely closed down for several years now.

The only time that ‘on-page’ becomes important is when you have taken care of ‘off-page’ and have a lot of inbound ‘back-links’. At that stage, Internal Linking and some On Page manipulation can be beneficial.

A Bit of Advice… A phrase that shows vast numbers of results should not be your first SEO target. For example, on Google’s Search Engine you’ll see 70 million listings in the UK for the term Car Insurance. It’s not rocket science to realise that competing in this area wouldn’t be productive.

However… If I typed in “Southampton Car Insurance”, then there are only around 300,000 results. (If car insurance in Southampton was my business!) So a much more realistic target.

I would have a far better chance of getting ranked for that phrase quickly than I would for just ‘car insurance’. In actual fact, it takes very deep pockets to get a premier listing for a term like ‘car insurance’. I’d be up against massive multi-nationals! Which is really not a good idea.

We should concentrate on more accurate ‘phrases’ that give us less competition. We call them Long-tail phrases, as they’re made up of a few particularly chosen keywords. If your market’s very competitive, you could be selecting seven word phrases. Typically they will be 3 or 4 words long.

We prefer to begin optimisation strategies with phrases that bring in less than five hundred thousand results. Sometimes we’ll consider higher counts if the top results are not benefitting from optimisation. Over time we’ll gain ground on the larger search terms. This will happen automatically through building back links. We can go for some of those after several months if we’ve SEO’d well. It’s a much more targeted strategy. Frankly, we’re only interested in the customers who are looking specifically for what we offer. There’s much more chance these people will buy!

Your home page isn’t the only place for back-links. Spread them liberally around your website. This technique is referred to as Deep Linking. For example, build links to the pages that group products. They often have links to several other sub-pages about individual products. Don’t just create back-links to your home-page. The SE’s are becoming increasingly interested in how a site’s individual pages are listed.

How to Take Over the First Page of Google with an Article Writing Service

by Gerald McConway

Anyone that has a business that relies on the internet as their primary source of income needs to have a high Google rank. One of the best ways to do this is by writing articles and creating links back to your site. For most businesses, writing is not going to be an expertise. That is why you need to hire an article writing service.

Google is a wonderful tool and when you know how to manipulate it, it is even better. While I will not give you all of my secrets, I will tell you this, in order to get ranked, you need to create one way links back to your site that are related to your niche. Googles spiders will eat them up and the more of them you have, the higher your ranking goes.

Now reciprocal links also work, but they do not hold the same weight that a one way link does. This is where the article marketing campaign comes in. It is going to serve two purposes. You will be creating links back to your site and you will also be establishing yourself as an expert in your field.

Think about this, who are you more likely to use, the website that has one link drifting around aimlessly or the guy that has 4 of the top 10 links on Google? Having articles published under your name is very impressive to the consumer and the more you can make yourself look to be an expert, the more likely you are to get their business.

To give you an example of exactly how this works, I will use my own business. I have recently been attacking the UAW writing niche. If you were to do a Google search right now on UAW Article Writing Service, you would not only find my site at the top of the search engine, you will also find multiple articles that I have publishes on there as well. Now how can another writing service get any business if I have over half of the links on page one of Google?

The fact is that the more articles you publish, the better the chance you have of dominating Google. If you are ready to take over page one for your business or niche, give me a shout and let me work my magic for your site. It will be the best investment that you have ever made.

What is Unique Article Wizard Doing To My Article?

by Daniel McGonagle

How many people really understand how Unique Article Wizard actually works? Certainly not as many as use it for content at their sites, for sure. Many marketers know about it and many others use it. They know that Unique Article Wizard gets their articles and URLs out there and brings them backlinks and helps them get better rankings with search engines. Yet, few understand the process.

It is a simple idea. Take one article that has been written well and use Unique Article Wizard to turn it into many individual and distinct articles. If your article is not well written spinning is a waste because you will be producing junk in the re-writes. No one wants that.

Now comes the time to apply your genuine writing skills. Use what you learned in English 101. Make sure you have an introduction and a conclusion for the body of content you wish to convey. Your article body needs at least three main points. But you can include more. Remember how to do this?

The way I see it, if you can write one good article, you can write two more. Take different perspectives, use your imagination. After you have completed a total of 3 well-written articles on your topic you have ample material to work with.

This is where article spinning software does its work. By using your well-written articles, they can be combined in numerous ways to generate hundreds of different articles on your topic. Every introduction has a place in the spinner. So does every paragraph.

This is what spinning articles is all about, then you need submission services, back links, URLs included and a variety of other tools to help your Internet marketing program. This is why the Unique Article Wizard works better than regular submission software. It actually allows you to add links and that helps with your link building and it creates many more different articles.

It is tough to keep up with the competition. They may have a writing team. So if you need marketing services and want to create and submit many articles, you need to look at article spinning software. Remember it will only work for you if your articles are well-written.

Many free article spinners rely on substituting synonyms for major words. That will end up costing you some of your reputation and most of the articles will be turned into garbage. The proprietary software that Unique Article Wizard uses is what makes all the difference in the world, presuming you started with a good article.

How to Write an Interesting Article

by Leigh-Ann Lemire

Do you know there are actually guidelines for writing and creating an interesting article? It appears that some people can write an article that has pep and flair, while another person can write on the same subject and make it boring or even incomprehensible. If you think you fall into the second category, you may be right – but by following a few simple guidelines, you could wind up in the first category.

Don’t get mired down in the English grammar, punctuation and spelling. Yes, we all should have learned this stuff in school, but in case you weren’t paying attention then, your word processing program will correct a lot of that stuff for you. You will still need to proof the article, but it’s much easier nowadays. If you can talk in a way that people can understand you, you can write an interesting article. And if you need more words so that you aren’t repeating yourself, try a right click in MS Word, then a click on synonyms on the menu that pops up.

In the rest of this article we will learn some tips that make one piece of writing appealing and another dull.

To begin writing an interesting article you must have clear in your mind what your purpose for writing the article is. For example, a purpose for writing an article could be to explain in layman’s terms how chelation therapy works (it is a medical procedure for removing heavy metals and oxidants from the body). Or another purpose could be to describe easy steps for building a TV antenna out of coat hangars. If you don’t nail down your purpose for writing the article, you will wind up with a confusing hodge podge.

A way to make an article interesting is to state examples. See paragraph above for use of examples. People read those examples and think, “I get that!” Examples make your writing usable for the reader.

Make the article real for your readers. If you are writing an article to be read by math or computer science professors you could say “qualitative reasoning” and they would probably know what you were talking about. But if you are writing for youth science class you better stick to phrases like “computer programs for robots.” Keep your language within the realm of the particular audience who will be reading it. (Note that this paragraph contains an example without saying, “for example.” Repeating that phrase can get boring.)

Keep your sentences and paragraphs to a reasonable length. It is just easier to read shorter, rather than longer, sentences and paragraphs. After all, you want your articles to be read and most readers will chose the shorter sentence, paragraph, article, especially if they are in a hurry at the time they find your article.

Some online companies have professional writers who will write articles for you. So if you don’t want to write for yourself, or you want your article spiced up by a wordsmith, sign up at www.naturalgrowthmarketing.com. Their professionals will give you a good product.
