&lt;span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I have been asked this question many times whether we can actually do search engine optimization for a site without good content. I would like to address this topic in two parts. The first part I will try to explain why so much&amp;nbsp;weight is on content and then the second part will be covering how to work with sites which do not have much to do with content.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;"&lt;a href="http://seodhaba.blogspot.com/"&gt;Content is the King&lt;/a&gt;" and all search engines are unanimously accepted it to be like that. Most prominent Search Engines gives high value for good content as content is from where most of the information flows into the internet. Web is an information repository thus, we can not imagine information without data relevancy to the context. Most of the users on the web are for business/information browsing. They search, browse, download, do business post doing a lot of analysis based on the web information system. if we don't have the content we will not be able to satisfy the quest of knowledge these users seeks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Content is must for all the site irrespective the domain the site stands for. We are living in a world where data matters. For taking any decision we tend to mine the data available with whatever source and then churn out the information required ; this information is which guides our decision.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;What if we have a site that has to do more with images/sounds/videos ? How will the content finds a place amid these media oriented web portals. These portals people just come to browse images, download audio/video and they might not be interested in contents. I agree to this but we seems to forget that content is not just textual data rather its information present for any media that we can see and hear. if you are talking about a site with no content then are you trying to present a void site to the world. What and How a void site will help anyone. There needs to be content. You will be able to promote the site unto the limit of what OPO (On Page Optimization) offers you without any legible content but at the end of day you wont be making any money out of the efforts you put to do the OPO and then making it visible to search engines but not getting actual benefits. So to answer the question we can actually do SEO without content but it will not be a long race as bounce rate of your site will be high. Some users may even go and report it as spam as it doesn't return any information they were looking into. So, just for the sake of technically possibility you can do the SEO but it heads you no where.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Happy Reading.,,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Google introduced its newest major algorithm change, again named after a cute black and white animal, on April 24th. I haven't seen as big an outcry about the Penguin as there was after the Panda algorithm update, which suggests that its impact on the earning online community was not as huge. Google itself estimates that about 3.5% of websites was affected. However, as expected the release of a major change in algorithm, released a huge amount of analysis. Since the big G doesn't share the details of its methods, all the analysis was speculative, some of it is probably right, some completely wrong. I have just read seen an interesting, if lengthy explanation of how the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://vimeo.com/42939368" style="color: #5d7d9d; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Penguin affects website ranking&lt;/a&gt;, which seemed to disagree with a lot of the perceived wisdom, I don't know if it was true, but it sounded quite rational.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="modfloat full" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;

The Penguin vs webspam, what Google says&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class="txtd" id="txtd_19342384" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;"&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;
According to Google (whether people believe them or not is another matter), the role of the Penguin was detect over-optimization. Hence it was targeted at webpages which rank well, not necessarily because they have such excellent content, but because they've had a lot of SEO (search engine optimisation) done on them, both on the page and off page (links). This is different from the Panda change, which tried to detect webpages which gave its visitors a poor user experience, because of excessive advertising, duplicated content, very little text on the page etc.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;
The general idea seems to be that Penguin is attacking 'web spam'. Many of the SEO techniques of the black hat flavour involve creating pages for no other reason than to increase the ranking of the main website (to which the spammy page links). An obvious example of that, which I am sure we all encounter while hub hopping, is articles spun beyond all comprehension, whose only function is to provide back links. A couple of weeks ago I went to check out the front page of GoArticles. I was rather disgusted by the homepage showcasing a whole bunch of articles, which made no sense whatsoever, obviously there to provide links to a payday loan company site. I think we can all agree that the internet would be a better place without such gibberish.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="floatclear" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; width: 520px;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

on page over optimisation&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class="txtd" id="txtd_19342750" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;"&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;
The kind of over optimisation that can be done by over eager SEO practitioners can be divided into two types on page, generally to do with keywords for which the page hopes to rank. If a your hubs inadvertently fell foul of the new algorithm (over optimisation can be unintentional as well as black hat, Google doesn't care), and you saw a drop in ranking or traffic, this is easy to repair. Read your hub and see whether the keyword is repeated too many times, so the text doesn't read well and sound repetitive, and change some of the keywords for synonyms.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;
Penguin detects pages that are 'keyword stuffed' and might mark them as web spam. it also dislikes hidden keywords which are not seen by a visitor on the page. I have become a little bit concerned about the alt text which I've added to the photos in my blog and webpages. Since I've always read that I must not forget to use image captions and alt text for SEO purposes, I had always made sure they contained keywords, I wonder if this is held against me now.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;
The idea that was quite new to me, and that makes sense, is that the general advice about basic optimising for keywords is a little bit over the top. For example, I have always been told that I should put my main keyword in the URL, the title, heading, description and anchor text of a link, as well in the text. I must admit, that at times I felt that this wasn't very natural.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;
Because I am not some kind of SEO superninja, I don't usually target single word keywords, and often not even two word keywords. I often feel that the competition for these is too high, and go after whole phrases. In a way this isn't just a function of how good you are at SEO, but also at the available resources. My HubPages subdomain is a few months old, and it doesn't have a huge number of hubs indexed. All this makes it a weaker platform for competing with the big guys. The problem with targeting a phrase keyword, is that it isn't very natural to have the same phrase in the title, and in the capsule subtitle, hub summary etc. So in a way, when I've put them everywhere, I was doing what Google doesn't won't web masters to do, I was writing for search engines, rather than my readers.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="module moduleImage" id="mod_19342735" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2 class="subtitle" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-weight: 400; font: normal normal bold 1.2em/normal Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;
Off page optimisation-backlinks&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class="txtd" id="txtd_19342981" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;"&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;
The on page optimisation is the easy part of SEO, the backlinks are the difficult part. Google regards incoming links to a site from high authority pages as votes of confidence. If many sties link to a site, that is an indication that the site is an authority on a topic, and is likely to rank well in the SERPs. This has of course caused web masters to look at various ways in which they can create backlinks to their sites.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;
Of course having self-created backlinks are useless from Google's point of view, as far as the search engine is concerned, it would love to be able to tell when the link was made by the webmaster of the pointed-to site, and would disregard all such links. After all a back link to your site, that you make yourself, is not an indication of the usefulness of your site. We all think our stuff is wonderful, and even if we don't, we still want a lot of people to come and see it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;
One of the generally cited functions of the penguin update, is to detect bad incoming links, and penalise sites where the webmaster has done a lot of work on creating backlinks, or even paid for them. This has resulted in many SEO gurus urging people to remove bad incoming links to their sites. The interesting thing about the video, is the argument that sites are not being penalised by being linked to from 'bad sites'. What is happening is that the 'bad sites' linking in, for example spam blogs (sblogs) with very little content, whose only function is to provide a back link, are being marked as web spam, and all links coming from them are suddenly useless.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;
So yes, sites that had a lot of links from weak sites created purely to provide backlinks have lost rank and traffic. However they did not lose traffic because they were penalised by Penguin for having bad incoming links, but merely because they lost the boost these links were providing them. Removing&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;the links will not restore the lost traffic&lt;/strong&gt;, it will do exactly nothing. The only solution is to try and obtain good strong links from good sites.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;
This does not mean that having an unnatural looking link profile, a huge number of new links in a short period of time, all links with the same anchor text, all links from dofollow sites etc will not incur a penalty, just that this is taken care of by other parts of the Google algorithm.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

Please don't bang your head,&lt;br /&gt;as what I am asking you to do is asked not to do by most.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have always thought of doing some interesting methods to manipulate strategies.&lt;br /&gt;As we do competitors, keywords, and link analysis, to increase the ranking of our site.&lt;br /&gt;The employees working for search engines are also implementing there ways to find out sites who are employing blackhat strategies and fetch all required information about that very site. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best way to do blackhat seo and bring no harm to our site is to employ the blackhat strategies on sister sites bombarded with junk content and all the researched keywords on that site which can be in thousands in numbers. This is one of the best way to know which keywords are the market driving keywords instead of paying others to tell you which amongst your selected researched keyword is going to work for your site. The keywords in font size zero and making the font color white on white page or making the same font color as the background are readable by spiders and bots and not by the users which will allow you to see the direction your page and site rising before been taken into consideration by search engines as blackhat and getting some penalties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we will get to know the happening keywords and few more interesting results to boost the white hat seo for our main site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please don't employ blackhat techniques and strategies to your main site. ;-)</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>Online marketing and Interface designing</title><link>http://seodhaba.blogspot.com/2009/02/relationship-phoenix-valentines-day.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amritanshu)</author><pubDate>Fri, 13 Feb 2009 01:16:00 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1236115175620647134.post-4418716271499182497</guid><description>There has been intricate relationship between the marketing as well as the computer interface designs. The products and services that we marketeers sell online needs to be presentable. If the products and services selling portal itself is well designed it half way done for us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eight Golden Rules of Interface Design&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strive for consistency &lt;br /&gt;consistent sequences of actions should be required in similar situations &lt;br /&gt;identical terminology should be used in prompts, menus, and help screens &lt;br /&gt;consistent color, layout, capitalization, fonts, and so on should be employed throughout. &lt;br /&gt;Enable frequent users to use shortcuts &lt;br /&gt;to increase the pace of interaction use abbreviations, special keys, hidden commands, and macros &lt;br /&gt;Offer informative feedback &lt;br /&gt;for every user action, the system should respond in some way (in web design, this can be accomplished by DHTML - for example, a button will make a clicking sound or change color when clicked to show the user something has happened) &lt;br /&gt;Design dialogs to yield closure &lt;br /&gt;Sequences of actions should be organized into groups with a beginning, middle, and end. The informative feedback at the completion of a group of actions shows the user their activity has completed successfully &lt;br /&gt;Offer error prevention and simple error handling &lt;br /&gt;design the form so that users cannot make a serious error; for example, prefer menu selection to form fill-in and do not allow alphabetic characters in numeric entry fields &lt;br /&gt;if users make an error, instructions should be written to detect the error and offer simple, constructive, and specific instructions for recovery &lt;br /&gt;segment long forms and send sections separately so that the user is not penalized by having to fill the form in again - but make sure you inform the user that multiple sections are coming up &lt;br /&gt;Permit easy reversal of actions &lt;br /&gt;Support internal locus of control &lt;br /&gt;Experienced users want to be in charge. Surprising system actions, tedious sequences of data entries, inability or difficulty in obtaining necessary information, and inability to produce the action desired all build anxiety and dissatisfaction &lt;br /&gt;Reduce short-term memory load &lt;br /&gt;A famous study suggests that humans can store only 7 (plus or minus 2) pieces of information in their short term memory. You can reduce short term memory load by designing screens where options are clearly visible, or using pull-down menus and icons &lt;br /&gt;Prevent Errors - The third principle is to prevent errors whenever possible. Steps can be taken to design so that errors are less likely to occur, using methods such as organizing screens and menus functionally, designing screens to be distinctive and making it difficult for users to commit irreversible actions. Expect users to make errors, try to anticipate where they will go wrong and design with those actions in mind.</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>Top 10 Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Do's and Don'ts</title><link>http://seodhaba.blogspot.com/2009/02/top-10-search-engine-optimization-seo.html</link><category>SEM</category><category>SEO</category><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amritanshu)</author><pubDate>Wed, 11 Feb 2009 01:40:00 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1236115175620647134.post-3105781269861366240</guid><description>Strategic Ranking’s Top Ten “Do’s and Don'ts" when optimizing your website for the major search engines are listed below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;10. DON’T use remote search engine submission programs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remote submission programs are no longer the traffic generators they once were. These days, they mostly submit to free-for-all link pages. Most major search engines block (do not accept) submissions from these programs. Submitting your website to the search engines manually will reap the best results. Make sure you read the submission guidelines of each search engine carefully before manually submitting your web pages. It’s best to let certain crawler-based search engines (like Google) find and index your web pages on their own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;9. DON’T “keyword stuff” your meta tags&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The days of cramming irrelevant keywords in meta tags and the text of web pages are gone. Well, at least the days where this practice is helpful to your search engine rankings is in the past. Use “relevant” keywords in meta tags sparingly—do not repeat them over and over again. Because of past abuses, many of the major search engines no longer give weight to meta tags. If the search engines find you using irrelevant keywords or stuffing keywords in your meta tags, they will penalize you for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;8. DON’T participate in free-for-all link exchange programs or link farms&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, it’s a good idea to have a lot of links pointing to your site, but the search engines only like relevant links. If they find sites that have nothing in common with the content on your website linked to your site, they will lower your relevancy rating; thus lowering your overall ranking on their search results pages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;7. DON’T use doorway pages&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the past, spammers built “doorway” pages for the sole purpose of ranking high in the search engine listings. These pages would consist of a string of irrelevant keyword terms and links pointing back to their original site. If you use gateway pages, make sure that they are content-rich information pages that are relevant to the main topic of your original site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;6. DON’T use hidden links or text of any kind&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most common method of hiding irrelevant links or text is using the same text color as your background so that the text is “hidden” from the users view. The search engines will penalize you if they think you are attempting to hide text of any kind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. DO take care in the choice and placement of relevant keywords&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although, keywords are no longer the only factor determining a site’s rankings, selecting the right keywords or keyword phrases is key to generating traffic to your site. You need to choose keywords that people are actually using in order for your prospective visitors to find your website. Once defined, include those keyword phrases in your title tags, meta description, meta keyword tags and throughout the text of your website for optimal search engine rankings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;4. DO validate your code&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Search engine crawlers like “clean” code. They are able to scan accurate code much faster and easier without stumbling over erroneous tags and other errors. It can be extremely beneficial to validate your website code before publishing—it will produce better indexing results. The W3C has excellent code validation tools.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;3. DO submit your site to directories&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Submitting your site to reputable online directories will help your rankings with the major search engines. This includes primary directories like DMOZ, Yahoo! and About.com as well vertical directories, like FindLaw.com, Realtor.com and Business.com. Make sure you read the submission guidelines of each directory carefully before submitting your web pages. It is also important to ensure that you place your site in the correct category of each directory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. DO establish relevant links from authoritative sites&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today’s search engines place an enormous amount of importance on the number of websites that link to yours. It’s not just about the number of links, it’s about the quality of those links as well. Search engines look at the context of the incoming links—the relevancy of the content of the two sites. Search engines also look at the significance of the site linking to yours. For example, your site will get a higher ranking if CNN.com or Fortune.com link to it as opposed to your Uncle Mike’s neighbor’s personal home page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the number 1 search engine optimization “DO” is…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;1. DO create up-to-date content-rich pages that provide useful information&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Creating content-rich web pages that contain useful information will not only help you with your search engine rankings, it will also please your visitors. After all, isn’t your audience looking for information? If your site does not provide valuable relevant content, your visitors will leave. They won’t likely come back either. Web-crawlers will visit your site more frequently as will your visitors if your content is updated regularly. So, if you want your web pages ranked well in the search engine listings, the most significant thing you can do is to provide ample valuable content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as i read it on strategic-ranking.com</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>Search Engine Optimization (SEO) vs. Search Engine Marketing (SEM)</title><link>http://seodhaba.blogspot.com/2009/02/search-engine-optimization-seo-vs.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amritanshu)</author><pubDate>Tue, 10 Feb 2009 22:46:00 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1236115175620647134.post-4682380768851374241</guid><description>Search Engine Optimization (SEO)is an integral part of Search Engine Marketing (SEM) which make the SEM complete.

As the saying goes, without marketing, something bad happens: nothing! For more detail go to: www.inside-the-minds-of-winner.com.Without marketing, you're not going to make a penny!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this article, I'll assume that you already have a website setup to market your product or service, and you need to attract and convert customers to your website. I'll also assume that your website is user friendly, with good sales copy and easy to order from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first step in marketing is to identify your target customers. Who are your customers? How old are they? What gender are they? What websites do they visit? What do they search for on the search engines when they are looking for your product or service?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you first start out, you'll have to make educated guesses about much of this information, but as you go on, you'll start to get data you can use to answer the questions more accurately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's assume that you're selling video games. Your prospective customers are probably largely young males. You can be pretty certain that they are visiting other sites about video games, computers and such. As for search terms, they are probably searching for things like "buy video games" or the name of the game they want to buy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that you have a picture of your customer, it's time to get these prospective buyers to visit your site and make a purchase. For more detail go to: www.the-30-minute-marketing-miracle.com.Following are several proven marketing methods that are great methods to start marketing your site with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Submit a press release about your site. Spend some time writing the release so that it is unique, newsworthy, and not just an ad for your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Start a small pay per click search engine advertising campaign. This is an excellent way to get immediate qualified traffic to your site. Start small, and increase your campaign as you track results and know what is working. Google Ad words, Yahoo, Ask, and MSN are all good search engines to advertise with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Choose several low competition keyword phrases that will bring you quality visitors, and optimize your site for them. Choose the most targeted phrases that you can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Building links to your website will bring you some traffic, but its main benefit is increased search engine rankings. Free directory submissions are an excellent way to build links to your site - there are hundreds of directories that accept free submissions. Just be patient, as it may take awhile before your submissions are accepted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article submissions are another great way to build quality backlines. Write an article related to your industry, or pay a ghost writer to do it for you. You can then submit the article to article sites yourself, or pay someone to do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;newdesignworld.com/press/story/6872</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>First Mobile Search-Engine Optimization Standard Introduced</title><link>http://seodhaba.blogspot.com/2008/11/first-mobile-search-engine-optimization.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amritanshu)</author><pubDate>Thu, 20 Nov 2008 22:26:00 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1236115175620647134.post-2175442454985181920</guid><description>metaTXT, the world's first mobile search engine optimization standard (SEO), was recently launched at the Mobile Asia Congress in Macau.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;metaTXT is a free and open standard that enables search engines to index mobile sites regardless of their technology domains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Supported by the Waterford Institute of Technologies research division, an information and communications technology research centre in Ireland, metaTXT is expected to foster mobile search by allowing all mobile sites to be discovered by mobile search engines regardless of their URLs, in turn increase brand consistency on the mobile Internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mobile advertising providers and search engines including Abphone, Bango, JumpTap, Taptu, MCN, Medio Systems, Mobilytics, Nubiq, RingRing Media and founder visibility mobile have formed a working group to partner with Asia's search engine www.MCN-inc.com to leverage its mobile capabilities to its 15 million users.

To assist our own understanding of this market, the key players involved and the types of services and products each provides, we at blinkx have built a topographical view of the key players, broken down by how each interfaces with others. We're very happy to share that topography and the spaces we've identified within it here. Following the diagrams themselves, the article provides a brief commentary on each of the roles played by the companies that inhabit each identified space, including a few examples of competing services in each.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The diagram shows that the Content Delivery Networks ultimately underpin most services in the Online Video industry, but Online Creating and Editing tools are generally found only within hosted services and usually are not associated with live streaming services. It is interesting to note that just as with the Text Web, search is an overarching influence on the Video Web. Whatever the content, whatever delivery or hosting mechanism you choose to use for it, it is likely that it will be discovered, indexed and ultimately delivered through some form of search. This, of course, further highlights the importance of getting Video SEO right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The increased ubiquity of broadband and the growth of available content on the Internet have caused a similar fl ux of traffi c towards online video. The explosive growth of user-generated content sites such as YouTube and MySpace Video combined with the steady growth of traditional media content sites like CNN and the BBC have collectively redirected a slice of the online consumer’s attention toward the search for and consumption of video content. This shift in attention is generating new traffic, and the SEO industry will be quick to follow suit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The flip-side of SEO is, of course, monetization. Video can be monetized in many ways: it can contain high value video ads that are played before, during or after the content; it can be a teaser that compels viewers to purchase a product or further video or, if it is a piece of marketing or advertising masquerading obliquely, it may contain value in itself. Though online video monetization is a fascinating and still-evolving topic, it deserves an extensive write-up of its own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Findings from a recent eMarketer3 survey support these observations:&lt;br /&gt;• 123 million Americans will view online video at least once a month in 2007&lt;br /&gt;• 27% of online video viewers watch news at least once a week&lt;br /&gt;• 26% watch funny videos at least once a week&lt;br /&gt;• 66% of video viewers have watched online video ads and 44% have taken an action on&lt;br /&gt;what they had seen&lt;br /&gt;• 76% users tell a friend about a video they have seen&lt;br /&gt;It is clear that online video is an evolving and burgeoning space with a number of players vying to provide&lt;br /&gt;various services within the overall industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;whitepaper:blinkx.com</description><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEc9qBpPKuvAeH38Q1jkBG4Dx7JFp6d3a5ZDkf1GEQ9rVXca3L6FSRM0BPAjgfnNPfjyF9kTAi36Tzw_UYhouwObNZQgbIAqupp3ftOfSJDFzkYeAuc-tWQo9Tta8S6JEo94Cl9K5lets/s72-c/800px-Diagram2-Map_copy.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>Google browser chrome</title><link>http://seodhaba.blogspot.com/2008/09/google-browser-chrome.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amritanshu)</author><pubDate>Sun, 7 Sep 2008 07:11:00 -0700</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1236115175620647134.post-4874105696512312084</guid><description>Google's Chrome: 7 Reasons for It and 7 Reasons Against It&lt;br /&gt;It's an election year, and we're not just talking the Oval Office in the big white house on Pennsylvania Avenue. The battle of the browsers is getting fierce, and Google wants you to sign up for its campaign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seven Chrome-Related Concerns&lt;br /&gt;1. It's only in its first beta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is Chrome's first test release, so problems are bound to crop up over the coming months. If like most people you rely heavily on Web browsing, you run a risk by putting your online life into the hands of an unproven product. Visits to some plug-in-oriented sites such as logmein.com have generated errors ("This application has failed to start because xpcom.dll was not found..."). Do you want to deal with that kind of uncertainty daily?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. You won't have any add-ons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Add-ons are a huge draw for Firefox fans, and none of these are available in Chrome yet. Google does intend to create an API for such extensions, but for now you'll have to make do without your AdBlocks, Better Gmails, and BugMeNots--or you'll have to switch between browsers to use the add-ons you want when you want them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. You can't synchronize. &lt;br /&gt;One big plus of Firefox is its ability to synchronize across multiple computers using Mozilla's Weave option. This arrangement allows you to keep your home browser, your laptop browser, and your work browser looking identical at all times--and once you get used to that level of synchronization, it's hard to give up. Chrome doesn't yet have that capability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. You may draw the short stick on standards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Standards get a little less standard as this new player enters the equation. It's based on WebKit, the same open-source system that drives Apple's Safari; but when you look at pages in Chrome compared to pages in Firefox or IE, you'll notice a difference in text formatting. And since most sites give coding priority to the market leader, you might be setting yourself up for disappointment with Chrome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. You're giving advertisers extra ammo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you seen all the hype about Google's privacy practices and how much of your data it shares with advertisers? Imagine the potential ammo you're giving it by using this browser. Google will now have total control over your experience from the time you open Chrome to the time you shut down. In some sense, you might just as well invite DoubleClick to watch over your shoulder while you surf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. The dropdown bar is dropped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The idea of the URL dropdown bar is dropped in Chrome. To compensate, the browser offers "intelligent" features in its Omnibox; but if you like being able to see your recent URLs at the click of a button, you'll miss the dropdown bar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. You lose some history power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chrome's History functions are less versatile than the powerhouse ones built by Firefox. Chrome offers only a simple screen showing your day-by-day history. The ability to sort everything by date, site, or most visited appear to have joined the distaff and spindle on the ash heap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there you have it: the good, the bad, and the ambiguous of Google's first foray into browsing. You've heard the hype; now, the decision is yours. Whose campaign will you be joining?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source:&lt;a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/150585-2/googles_chrome_7_reasons_for_it_and_7_reasons_against_it.html#"&gt;PC World&lt;/a&gt;</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>Google Subscribed Links</title><link>http://seodhaba.blogspot.com/2008/08/google-subscribed-links.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amritanshu)</author><pubDate>Wed, 27 Aug 2008 00:11:00 -0700</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1236115175620647134.post-9133220510033180282</guid><description>Google search has a number of special features built in to the search results pages, like currency conversion, movie showtimes, and stock quotes. Subscribed Links offer a way for you to add information from additional sources or services to your Google search results. When you search using queries that match your Subscribed Link, information from the provider will appear in your search results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Subscribed Links has several new features:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Management from the Google Preferences page&lt;br /&gt;    * New look and feel in the search results&lt;br /&gt;    * Improved directory content&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using Subscribed Links, you can add information created by providers you trust to your Google search results pages. Whenever you search on Google in an area of their expertise, you'll see a custom result from those providers in your search results. To view a list of available Subscribed Links with example queries, visit the &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/coop/subscribedlinks/directory"&gt;Subscribed Links directory.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can create a Subscribed Link in one of three ways:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Design a Basic Subscribed Link&lt;/strong&gt; We guide you step by step in creating a simple Subscribed Link. This is the easiest option but allows the least flexibility; it's a good way to start learning about what Subscribed Links can do. Once you're comfortable, we suggest you try uploading a file or an RSS feed instead to create something more powerful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Upload a feed file Upload a data file from your local disk to our servers.&lt;/strong&gt; The file can be in any of the formats we support: XML, RSS, or TSV. If you have a small amount of Subscribed Link data that is updated infrequently, this may be your best option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Submit the URL of a feed file&lt;/strong&gt; Tell us the location of a file hosted on a website that contains your data feed in XML, RSS, or TSV format. We will periodically recrawl this file so that if you have frequently-changing data, your data changes will automatically be reflected in your Subscribed Link output. This is the appropriate method for most power users, particularly those who have large amounts of data.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Reading....</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
