Easy Web Tips

How can you be found on the web?
The web is a necessity as we have mentioned before. It has become one of the things that you will be asked about in almost every meeting you have with clients. You may also be asked at any of the networking groups you attend. Why do people ask? It is simply to verify what you are saying. The web has a tendency to substantiate all of the elevator pitches and spiels that you give when first meeting with people. When I first started out reinventing myself and wishing to go back to my consulting background, I called on someone that I had worked with on some interesting projects. I told her what I was planning on doing since the project we were working on was cancelled. I forwarded my contact information outside of the project and the first thing she did was to look at the website I had at that time (www.BizMechanix.com). Although this site is not my main one, it did give her enough information about my expertise. I did not have to mail out brochures, send my resume or spend time explaining my background. All of it was available on the web and was downloadable as a PDF file. As a note: Do not put anything on your website you do not want the public to see.
One of the things that we did was to make sure that we had keywords and a descriptor on the site. This enabled us to register with search engines (the places that have information about your website when people search for you, so your page will come up in the search results). Search engines also found the site when my name was entered. I was actually quite surprised at all the pages my name was on. Try and type your name into a search engine such as Google and see what you get. If you do not appear, take some time to figure out why and do something about it. The easier you make it for clients and potential clients, the greater the opportunity is for you.
A website is like an electronic brochure; it describes your business and also describes all of the things that you can do to solve problems. A website is an important tool and you should learn how to use it.

Youve Got The Power, Why Arent You Promoting It?
Like all things, theft is theft, misery loves company, negative people are everywhere, business is sometimes bad, things go up and others go down.If those are all true then knowledge is power right? Wrong, knowledge is only power if applied. So why is it that most of us only apply "commercialized" marketing tactics and fail to utilize the little stuff that counts?For instance, Google allows us to promote 2 url's, www.yoursite.com & http://yoursite.comSo ok. Nothing new...Then why aren't you promoting the power Google gave to you?See there's some of us who know that adding a link to both urls within our sites is a powerful thing.

Ppc Advertising ? The First Step In A Seo Marketing Campaign

Adding City Names At The End Of Your Keywords Can Bring You More Profits
In recent times, I have been closely studying keywords that have famous city names at the end of them and what I have discovered is nothing short of amazing. My research started off with pay-per-click ads. With Google Adsense the same keyword with only a city inserted at the end can attract substantially higher paying adsense ads to your site. That really surprised me and I went further and researched the kind of traffic the same keywords get for different well know American cities. Again I was in for a shock. Some cities have very high traffic for a certain keyword when you compare them to others for the same keyword.What all this means is that you can target certain high traffic niches by simply adding the names of cities to the end of your keywords. On your sit...(related: Seo)

Picking Keywords For Seo ? A Different View
The first step to developing any search engine optimization effort is picking keywords. The general consensus is pick keywords with solid amounts of traffic and a minimum of competition. At the risk of being laughed off the Internet, here's a different view.Going Big?Going VERY BigShould you do research to identify keywords receiving lots of traffic? Absolutely. Of this group, should you identify the keywords with the lowest amount of competition? Again, yes. After all, who would be foolish enough to try to attack keywords with a few million competing sites? Well, me for one.People that go for a keyword phrase like "for sale by owner" [2 million plus searches a month and KEI of 0.000000000?] are often dismissed as amateurs with unrealistic expectations. For those of us that have been in th...(related: Seo)
