SEO Expert Services, SEO Value & SEO Timelines
SEO Expert Services – Week 1
1. We start Week 1 with Keyword Discovery and Analysis. This is the foundation of any successful SEO campaign, so it’s important to get the “winning” keywords for your business, services and products in the beginning itself. This process generally takes 4 to 5 days, and there are many useful free and paid tools to help you do that. Keep in mind; finding the right keywords is all about researching statistical, analytical and forecast data for keyword usage, history and competition over time, in specific geographies.
2. In parallel, we can start work on On-page Optimization. The KISS (Keep it Simple ……) concept works great here. Keep in mind that each well optimized page can be a source of traffic and conversions for your website. I would suggest focusing each page on 1 to 2 related keywords only, with modifiers like location, industry, long tails and mis-spellings, included in Meta tags and the content of that page. If you have a CMS driven site, then ensure your CMS allows facility of giving unique title, description and keyword tag for each page, and that your dynamic URL’s are short and SEO friendly.
3. Set up accounts for Google local, Maps, and Yahoo local and create/claim your listing. This not only helps the search engine identify the location (for geo targeting) of your business, it also puts your business on the local map for anyone searching for products and services you could offer. Local listings are displayed on the top of the SERP (search engine result pages), and many people want to do business with someone who is close by (types of businesses where service and personal contact is crucial) can reach your website almost immediately.
4. It’s time to setup the Corporate Blog. This is going to become your most valuable asset to power up your keywords/ website and share valuable content with your visitors. You will be using the blog to post new articles, How To’s, testimonials, reviews, press releases, case studies, videos, photographs, PPT presentations and more. Both WordPress and Blogger offer free hosting platform – so get cracking.
5. The last part of Week 1, you can set Google Analytics and Google Webmaster tools. These free tools will help you monitor the visitors to your site, visitor trends and demographics, entry/ exit pages, traffic sources, track conversions, performance of keywords, submit site maps, check on links and broken/bad links and a lot more.
SEO Expert Services – Week 2
1. We start Week 2, with Web Directory Submissions. These are the easiest links you can acquire, and there are many relevant, regional and niche web directories where you could submit your listing. Avoid directories that are not relevant to your business, products and services, though global directories should be included in the category your business fits under. There are many paid directories as well (Yahoo Dir, Business.com etc) which are great links to have, but I would be selective not to use up the clients budget in this activity, as it can be well spent in other places.
2. Time to get social! Social Bookmarking sites are a great way to promote your content across user communities like Digg, Mixx, Stumble Upon etc . The trick is to get other users (or your network) to up vote, thumbs up, review or comment on your content. This makes the link you are building permanent, and leads to more traffic as users generally opt to check links (and vote up links) that already has many votes. They key to social enlightenment is participation!
3. Announce you self, syndicate your Press Release. You can kill two birds with one stone here. Other than getting back good links to your website from the press releases syndications, a journalist may chance upon you story and make a National release out of it. Though ensure you have a worthy story first!
4. Power up pages of your website. This is an easy way to power up the existing pages of your website. Take each page link and post across relevant social bookmarking sites, and get a few users to up vote, thumbs up, review, or comment on your content. Don’t try and bookmark all your pages in one day, but rather just 3 to 4 links a week. You don’t want the social sites to blacklist you for spamming. Tip: Don’t use social bookmarking sites for just link building purposes. Get involved in the community, make friends, help them, and ask them to help you.
SEO Expert Services – Week 3
1. The weekly content strategy. Each week you can create unique and useful content focused around the keywords you are targeting for that month. The types of content can vary – like articles, how to’s, FAQ’s, case studies, pictures, videos, testimonials, PPT presentations, press releases etc. This content can be posted on your corporate blog. Both your visitors and search engines will love you for this effort.
2. The weekly syndication and promotion strategy. Each week you take the content from the blog and syndicate to select article sites, and promote across select social bookmarking sites. Get other users to participate by voting your content. Each type of content can be syndicated and promoted across relevant syndication channels. Eg. A press released posted on your blog can be syndicated to press release sites. A video can be syndicated to video submission sites. A How to article, can be syndicated to “How to” sites.
3. You can also post your articles in social media sites like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter etc. Keep in mind social networking is about building a network of contacts (potential business) and enhancing brand communication and recall. There is little SEO value to be gotten here.
SEO Expert Services – Week 4
1. Get other bloggers to review your website. Getting links from relevant blog sites will go a long way in your SEO strategy. Of course you will have to figure out that no blogger will review and link to your site because they love you. An additional tip here is to power up the external blog review pages by promoting across select social bookmarking sites and getting vote ups. Powering important external pages that link to you will in turn power your keyword pages.
2. Getting links from relevant websites. Get links from sites that are relevant to your business, products and services back to your important keyword pages. These industry links are “relevant” links and are highly valued by search engines. Tips: Avoid reciprocal linking unless it’s with very few select partners and not just for the purposes of link building. Another option, three-way link building is often tedious and filled with rejection. I would focus on “value” based link building.
3. Get involved by Blog commenting and Forums Posting. Find a few blogs and forums related to your industry. Spend time each week posting useful comments on blogs, and post/ answer queries on forums. If you cannot create value to the discussion by blogger/ forums users, then its best to avoid this strategy. Also if you plan to place links in the comments and forum posts, then make sure those links add major value to what’s being discussed, otherwise your comments, posts will not be accepted. Tip: I avoid placing links in any of my comments and answers.
4. The highly debatable paid links. While I don’t advocate paid links for various reasons, I have seen a few select power links make a world of difference to rankings. The tip here is to use this strategy after a couple of months of serious value driven SEO.
5. Run monthly campaigns in social bookmarking sites to power your keywords. Each month choose one social bookmarking site from the ones you are participating in, and choose one story/article from the previous articles you have bookmarked. The objective in the campaign strategy is to get 15 or more users to vote up your content. This accomplishes two things. A chance that your story gets “hot” and as the author of the content you gain popularity. Hot stories get more votes and links. Also search engines like user voted stories for obvious reasons.
6. Monitoring, Tracking and Reporting. Prepare weekly and monthly reports to track the links you are building. Prepare a report from Google Analytics each month showing progression over various metrics of conversion. A simple excel sheet work great. Also you can buy a good rank tracking software like Advanced Web Rank Manager, to track all the keywords and their progress over time.
There we go folks. It’s the end of the first month, and as you can see there has a lot of effort that’s gone into your website so far.
What has been accomplished so far?
1. We have build a strategy that’s in alignment with the new link variables – Consistency, Relevancy, Diversity, Progression, Participation and Age of Links.
2. We have enhanced the web, link, social and author reputation of the website.
3. Increased traffic sources to the website by creating “valuable content” and syndicating the same across diverse and select web, user and social communities.
SEO Expert Services – MONTH 2 to 6
1. We continue to create different formats of content each week (articles, how to, faq’s, press releases, case studies, videos, pictures, PPT, white papers, interviews etc).
2. We continue posting great content (articles focused around keywords we are targeting) on the blog each week, and then in syndicating and promoting that content (with up voting).
3. We continue to run monthly campaigns in social bookmarking sites with maximum user participation (voting, thumbs up, reviews, and comments). The objective being to make the story “hot” and link worthy.
4. We continue to source relevant links, blog reviews and industry related links.
5. We continue to comment and post replies on favorite blogs and forums.
6. We continue to build our network in social media sites.
There we go, you have the next 6 months seo expert services plan in front of you. So let’s get started!!

Welcome to the World of SEO – SEO Services India
What is SEO?
SEO is the acronym of Search Engine Optimization. For the understanding of beginners, search engine optimization is the art and science of making a website to perform better with various search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask.com. In other words, SEO involves a number of activities that make your site search engine friendly.
As you know, search engines offer the platform to extract particular information on almost anything existing in the world. Users generally type in some text known as keyword or key phrase in the search box and get the most relevant information on that keyword in the form of listed web pages. Have you ever wondered how and why these web pages appear in that sequence for a particular keyword?
Search engines normally adhere to a set of rules or algorithm to rank websites or web pages for a certain search query (keyword). So, if your website contains good, original content related a search query and receives high-quality inbound links from other similar websites in great quantity, then the site is highly favored by search engines that give it a high rank in the search results for that query.
Now, we can provide a more advanced definition of SEO which is the process of optimizing your website (or setting it right) according to the preferences of search engines through the implementation of some techniques both on and off the site, so that it obtains a high ranking in search engine result pages (SERPs).
SEO – Advantages & Impact
Preferring search engine optimization can deliver a number of advantages and positive impacts for your website. These include:
1. As search engines nowadays are the most popular online tools among web surfers to look for specific information, the scope of SEO is quite enormous. With millions of search queries every day, search engines can prove to be the ultimate source of potential customers for your products or services.
2. Conventional advertising and promotional techniques bear a local impact. Global promotional techniques call for huge investments that small and mid-size businesses are unable to make. So, search engine optimization becomes all the more important as it is the most powerful online promotional tool having a deep impact on global customer base.
3. Optimizing a website for search engines is the cheapest technique around. Generally, the costs involved in a full-fledged SEO campaign are much lower than that of conventional promotion. Converting a sales lead to a customer can also be performed in a cost-effective manner with the optimization technique.
4. With the help of search engine optimization, your website can receive a large number of highly qualified leads that have maximum chances of becoming customers because they land on your website through search engine result page, looking for their desired product or service you sell.
5. Implementing SEO techniques can allow you to gain valuable knowledge of keywords used by your potential clients to find the products or services you offer. This information will be helpful in identifying customer tastes and preferences and formulating your optimization strategies accordingly. You can also target your end customers in a better way through better positioning of products or services.
6. Search engine optimization can open the door to nonstop generation of revenues through increased web traffic and sales. When your website obtains top ranks for all your profitable keywords, it becomes highly visible among millions of search engine users.
7. This technique is the quiet means of product promotion, devoid of any extravagant advertising tricks. As a result, your prospective clients will find your website offerings more reliable and believable.
SEO – The Past, Present & Future
The field of search engine optimization has been witnessing rapid changes and the same trend will continue in the future also. So, both webmasters and SEO service providers have to be on their toes always to cope with these changes. We’ll take a look at the evolution search engine optimization over the years and its future ahead.
The Past
During the beginning of search engine optimization in the late 1990s, more attention was given to optimizing the on-page factors of websites rather than building link popularity through off-page optimization. We’ll discuss both on-page and off-page optimization in detail later in this article. The reason behind lack of efforts on link popularity is webmasters and Internet marketers were exchanging links with other related websites freely. That was enough to bring traffic to their websites. Banner ads were actually popular during this period.
During the early 2000′s, the popularity of link building gained momentum. You can say, this was the beginning of the era when link popularity outclassed on-page activities. Numerous websites concentrated on building more and more links from related websites and creating sub-domains. On the other hand, it was also the era of rising SEO companies who adopted unprincipled and unfair strategies and techniques to achieve link popularity.
During the middle period of 2000′s, more than 75 percent of all SEO activities were focused on link popularity. This period also witnessed the rise of social networking websites such as Facebook, MySpace, Digg, StumbleUpon, Orkut, etc. that revolutionized the process of interlinking. Search engine optimization turned so prominent that it did away with the need of listing on Yellow Pages for countless businesses around the world. This period was also important for Google as it established itself as the number one search engine.
The Present
Talking about the present scenario, the concept of SEO is in full swing and has become the paramount choice of online businesses to promote their products or services. As stated by Internet Retailer Magazine, the expenditure on search engine optimization worldwide is expected to rise by a staggering 43% this year.
As far as link popularity is concerned, there is no sign of dying away as more than 80 percent of all activities are currently revolved around link building. Such is the craze of link popularity that links have got the status of commodity and are often traded over the Internet by link brokers. The PageRank toolbar offered by Google regarding the importance of a web page has lost some of its sheen for ranking intentions, but it continues to exist for viewing by web surfers only.
As the number of websites is presently numbered in millions, the competition for optimizing the majority of 2-word phrases is getting tougher. The keywords that had mere 50,000 search results some 6 years back have now more than 300,000 search results, thereby making the task of top 10 ranking all the more difficult. This implies that only the most innovative SEO techniques employed by the most competent SEO firms can get you the top ranks for your targeted keywords. So, guaranteed optimization services are not a cakewalk anymore. The advice for webmasters is to choose a service provider cautiously after planning their expenses meticulously.
The Future
In the future, search engines will start to present search results that can be controlled locally. Though noteworthy progress has already been made in this regard by Google, it would be more prevalent in the days to come. Browser-specific results will also be witnessed. Link building will continue its growing streak, but the evaluation of links will get trickier with the advent of more complicated search engine algorithms and link determination factors. On-page optimization will get back to the popularity chart with mounting emphasis on cutting down the website size. Video search will grow in stature with the potential to become the most preferred choice of online marketing.
SEO – Various Processes Involved
Preliminary Analysis of Website
The typical process of search engine optimization starts with the analysis of the present status of the website. Various aspects of the site are closely examined to find out potential problems that need to be sorted out. The content on different web pages is reviewed for duplication and for the presence of keywords. If the present list of keywords is found inadequate, a new list of profitable keywords is prepared. Various important on-page factors that are evaluated during the preliminary website analysis are discussed below.
Keyword Research
Keyword research is the technique employed to investigate and find out potential search phrases that people use to extract information from search engines. Some of the popular tools for keyword research include Google Keyword Tool, Google Webmaster Tools, Google Suggest, Google Trends, Wordtracker, Yahoo Keyword Tool, and Hitwise. This technique must be able to produce keywords that have good search volume and potential capability to compete. Keyword research is also termed as the fundamental principle of web page optimization.
On-Page Optimization
On-page optimization is usually carried out on the website itself and aims at rectifying a number of potential website problems. It has quicker and straighter bearings on SEO results than off-page optimization that takes some time to show effects. On-page optimization takes into account the text and content on various web pages. There are several on page factors that must be addressed properly to make your website search engine friendly. While optimizing your web pages, you must stay away from hidden link or text, cloaking (two versions of the same site for search engine robots and users), and duplicate content.
On Page Factors
Various on-page factors include:
• Search engine optimized web page URLs in your site
• Meta Tags optimization of title, description and keywords
• Link optimization that includes the use of proper anchor text, clean internal linking between various web pages, linking between the home page and other major web pages, and avoidance of broken or dead links
• Image optimization that includes the presence of ALT text or Alternate Text to depict site images, use of purposeful file names for images, use of image title and image linking
• Keyword optimization that includes the use of proper keywords on web pages, modest keyword density, use of synonyms or other pertinent keywords on web pages, etc.
• Vital HTML tags such as header tags (h1, h2, h3), bold (strong) and italic (em). Make sure that there are no errors and warnings in the HTML code.
• Implementation of sitemap to ensure the indexing of all web pages by search engines
• Original and high quality page content
• Browser compatibility for smooth functioning of all web page elements on all browsers
• Fast loading of website
Off-Page Optimization
Off-page optimization involves SEO techniques that enhance your site visibility and link popularity with the help of several external sources. It is all about generating quality backlinks from other websites in massive numbers. The higher the number of quality backlinks for your website, the better ranking your site gets in search engines compared to competitors.
(A) One-Way Backlink Techniques
Directory Submission: It is the technique of submitting a website, its address and description to a large number of web directories that allow webmasters to list their websites in the most appropriate category or sub-category. Some of the large and well-known directories include DMOZ (open directory project), Google and Yahoo. Submitting your website to these directories is very essential from SEO point of view.
Article Submission: It is another effective off-page optimization technique that can create more one-way backlinks to your website. In this technique, well-written articles related your products, services or industry are submitted to hundreds of article directories. When these articles get approved, more and more potential customers can read them to enrich their knowledge as well as click on the link to visit your website. All the articles must be informative and should not contain promotional materials in the title and body.
Press Release Distribution: It is a great way to let your prospective clients know about the special events, developments, offerings and accomplishments happened in your online business. Various press releases highlighting the important features of the website are submitted to online PR directories to give maximum exposure to your business.
Blog Posting: Blogs and blog posts play a significant role in search engine optimization due to their search engine friendliness. They can be enriched with good-quality content as well as links back to your website. Regularly updated blogs can attract a lot of readers as well as potential customers for your website. Blogging is a popular activity on the Internet nowadays with countless blogging websites to server your purpose.
Blog Commenting: Commenting on various blogs related to your business theme is a good way to build one-way backlinks. In blog commenting, you’ll receive a free and open invitation to keep your website link. However, your comments must be meaningful, appealing and related to the subject of the blog. It is said that 3 blog comments are equivalent to additional 100 inbound links per month. So, always search popular blogs posted on high quality blogging websites for commenting.
Forum Discussions: Since search engines index various forum websites frequently, participating in forum discussions can be a good source of generating backlinks with the anchor text of your preference. It is also beneficial from site traffic standpoint. Visit popular and active forums having relevancy to your business and take part in discussions by replying to existing threads. The more time you spend in forums, the more popular you will be among fellow members. Always put links back to your website in your signature.
Social Bookmarking: It is used extensively in search engine optimization to augment your site visibility and promote your online business. There are many social bookmarking websites like Digg and Del.icio.us where you can submit stories or bookmarks containing your website link. Make your bookmarks public so that others can view and follow them to build strong online social networks. Always prefer websites that offer do-follow links to help your SEO endeavors.
(B) Two-Way Link Building
Reciprocal Link Exchange: Reciprocal links are also known as link exchanges, link swaps and link partners. These links are obtained when two websites having similar business theme agree to link to one another. A good amount of reciprocal links can boost your search engine position and site traffic alike. However, you must not overdo this technique. Search in Google to find the list of link exchange websites that provides information on webmasters who regularly swap links with one another. Never go for automated link exchanging to avoid the situation of being involved in link firms that link to completely dissimilar websites.
(C) Three-Way Link Building
Three-Way Reciprocal Link Exchange: This form of link exchange involves three websites instead of two. Though it is practiced on a limited scale, you can give your link exchange a more natural look with it. In three-way link exchange, three distinct websites must be present. For instance, A, B, and C are three websites. Here, A links to B, B links to C and C links to A. Elaborating further, B receives a one-way link from A, but doesn’t link back to it. Similarly, C receives a link from B, but doesn’t reciprocate the same to B. A receives a link from C without linking back to it. You can say three-way link exchange is arranged to hide reciprocal link exchange.
Website Traffic Generation Techniques
Social Bookmarking & Social Networking
Social bookmarks let you to share your favorite websites with other individuals by means of bookmarking or tagging them. There are sites like Digg, Reddit, Del.icio.us and StumbleUpon to create social bookmarks for your online business. However, do not promote your website excessively to bear the wrath of some service providers. You should only bookmark your most excellent pages, blogs and articles to increase traffic to your website.
On the other hand, social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace can promote your products or services in a great way. Just create accounts on those websites particularly for your offerings and update the information regularly. Add surveys, contests, polls and newsletters to arouse interests of people in your business.

Post interesting videos related to your business that can generate interests among the viewers to go for your products or services. YouTube is the prominent website where you can share your videos. Others include DailyMotion, Google Video, Vimeo, Flixya, and BrightCove.
PPC or Pay-per-Click Promotion
PPC advertising services are an alternate to organic search engine optimization. When it becomes difficult to bring your website into the first or second page of search engines for targeted keywords, you can opt for paid searches or sponsored links through Google AdWords, Yahoo Search Marketing, or MSN AdCenter. Just select your keywords and determine how much you are ready to pay the hosts when a user clicks on your sponsored links or ads. You can acquire a top position in paid searches by paying the highest price for every click.
Article Marketing

The majority of article directories witness voluminous traffic and are highly regarded by search engines. So, submit your articles to many different article directories simultaneously to gain good amounts of traffic straightway. Search in Google to get the list of top 50 or top 100 article directories for submission.

Choosing The Right Social Bookmarking Services
Social bookmarking is a unique and revolutionary way for online users to store, compile, share and search bookmarks of web pages. In this new and modern system, Internet users save links to Web pages that they want to remember and/or share. Many social bookmarking sites have Web feeds, which are provided for their lists of bookmarks, including lists organized by tags.
This service helps subscribers become aware of new bookmarks as they are saved, shared, and tagged by other users. As these services have grown more popular and have evolved further, these sites have added extra features such as ratings and comments on bookmarks, the ability to import and export bookmarks from browsers, e-mailing of bookmarks, web annotation, and groups or other social network features.
Tips In Getting Started with Social Bookmarking
Today, there are many social bookmarking sites on the Internet, and joining them is generally free. Probably the largest site today is del.icio.us. To register, simply click on the “register” link and fill in the information. Members of these sites should also install the two buttons on their browsers at home to make the process of tagging pages easier. Click on the help tab to find out more information.
Most Bookmarking Sites Are User-Friendly
Most bookmarking sites are free and very easy to use. It only takes a few minutes to join one of these sites. New members are usually asked to provide their e-mail address and a password. Members can post and review their bookmarks from any computer on the Internet. Individuals can also download and save all of their bookmarks for security. Bookmarks can also be easily transferred from one bookmarking service to another. Sharing is what makes social bookmarking so powerful.
More often than not, it is Web user who allows their tagged bookmarks to be available for public viewing, and this results in links to sites of generally better quality. Some bookmarking sites allow members to rank the site’s usefulness as well. Usually, the quality of a site over time, may be more easily discovered by recommendations from individuals rather than depending on standard search methods like Google, which usually measures the value of a site by the number of visits.
How To Steer Clear Of Unscrupulous Bookmarking Sites And Methods
According to industry analysts, social bookmarking can also be prone to corruption, misuse and collusion, and due to its rising popularity, some users have started considering it as a tool to use along with black-hat search engine optimization methods, to make their Web sites more visible. The more often a Web page is submitted and tagged, the higher the chances it has of being found.
Spammers have started bookmarking the same Web page multiple times and/or tagging each page of their web site using a lot of popular tags, thereby obliging the developers to constantly adjust their security system to overcome abuses. Because of this, some social bookmarking websites were forced to institute safety measures against spam, which caused some problems for people who use social bookmarking for legitimate, non-spamming purposes.
In addition, there are also drawbacks to such tag-based systems as well; no standard set of keywords, also known as controlled vocabulary, no standard for the structure of such tags (e.g. singular vs. plural, capitalization, etc.), mistagging due to spelling errors, tags that can have more than one meaning.

These types of businesses would not survive as capable support personnel demands money. If one talks about larger companies and Windows plans then they are generally quite costly. It is a matter of fact that, cheap web hosts sell additional amount of space and bandwidth, predicting not total exploitation of it by the user. It is quite usual and there will be no negative impact on the user if he/she utilizes all the owed space and bandwidth. The user should be aware of the fact that, cheap web hosts often do not have full command over their servers and it is possible that they might have a dedicated server with another company in order to save their cost. Due to this reason only they are sometimes forced to depend on others to perform some physical tasks like replacing some hardware on the server or other sort of technical problem which they are unable to handle.

SEO Services for Happy Brands
Lets explore the seo services in step by step detail…and how each one affects your online business as a whole.
Level 1 – Honey Pancakes for Breakfast
Let’s start with keyword research and discovery. This is the foundation step for your online business. Keywords are what prospective customers will type in the search box to reach your website, products and services. Identifying the right keywords that your potential customers will use to reach your site, the competition for those keywords, and how often those keywords have been used in past searches is important for success.
The competition has heated up! Knowing what your competition is up to is crucial in the world of business, whether in the real world or online. Tracking the competition for your keywords and identifying their seo strategies will provide valuable inputs in creating your own long term seo strategy.
Once you have identified the winning keywords, the next step is to optimize your web pages around those keywords. It’s important to focus each page around one keyword only and then placing those keywords strategically in the Meta tags like title, description, heading tags, link text and the body content of that page.
Make sure the title and description for each page is captivating enough for potential customers to click through. The title is what the potential customers see on the search results page.
In case you are using dynamic pages (database driven or CMS) on your website, you have two options. One is to optimize your database (this could be time consuming and costly), and the second is to work your way around and create a separate section called articles/ resources/blog posts/ How to etc with static pages (HTML) pages focused around the keywords you want to target.
Users and search engines will love you if you offer unique, informative and resourceful content that’s updated regularly. Each page of your website is a doorway to your products and services, so planning the content around your keywords is strongly advised.
Seo content is well written content that pleases the users and the search engines, is rich in keywords, and attempts to answer the query or need of the user who typed that particular keyword. Once your content is all optimized, you are all set to start building links.
Search engines value websites that have many inbound links from credible and high page ranked websites. The reason is that if a credible and popular web site or a web community has linked to your website, the search engines feel you must be worthy of that link.
Link building has gained lots of negativity with link farms and link exchange programs that ask for nothing but an exchange of links for the purpose of tricking the search engines and users. This was more prominent in the past, yet I often get reciprocal linking offers in my mailbox. It’s a waste of time so don’t even bother going there.
The link building matrix is the ideal mix of websites and communities from where you want to get those links. You can use web directory submissions, article submissions, social bookmarking and networking, video submission, PR announce, vertical search engine submissions, blog reviews etc to create the perfect link matrix for your website.
Keep in mind quality of content, page rank and diversity of the sources of your links is important, and so is getting links from websites that are related to your content.
Level 2 – Ahoy Mates, Full Steam Ahead
You have identified winning keywords, optimized your web pages, edited your content to make it seo friendly, and have started building quality and diverse links to your website. If you have done this part correctly then your keywords should start getting ranked, but they are still not in the Page 1 of the search results which is your goal. So how does one push your rankings up the search ladder?
Blogging is a great way to add fresh content, build a readership, and create quality links to your website. Some of my keywords placed in blog posts rank better than pages that I have optimized personally. You can start a business blog, or start a topic specific blog based on your important keywords.
Once you are committed to posting regularly on the blog, it’s time to start promoting your blog to various blog directories, blog search engines, RSS feed syndicates etc.
Now it’s time to syndicate your content for maximum visibility and back links. Article submissions are a great way to build credibility as an expert in your domain, build a readers base and get high quality links without the search engines treating that content as duplicate content.
Launching as new product, or a great new service, it’s time to announce it to the world. Using specific PR submission sites will get you additional viewership, links and your news could always be picked up by some journalist.
Think global. Go local. You obviously want to get business from all over the world, but who can ignore the local markets. In the same way though you may be targeting global keywords, don’t forget to focus on the local keywords as well. Submitting your site to local directories, Google Maps, Yahoo local etc will get you found on the local listings.
Spread your wings with social bookmarking sites like stumble upon, delicious, dig, drop jack etc. Social bookmarking gives the users power to decide what they like, what news is important, and what’s not. But (as in Spiderman Movie) with great power comes great responsibility. You have the responsibility to create news that’s news worthy, and then you will get the links that’s ranking worthy.
Level 3 – Supercharge your Rankings
You have done well to have come so far. You have optimized your site, have become adept at building quality content and links, using blogs, article submissions, pr announce and social bookmarking to reach out, and have gotten connected to the local scene. Your keywords should be ranking well now, but you still want to increase the traffic coming to your website and blog.
Create a page on Wikipedia, or participate in Yahoo Groups, Yahoo Answers and other such specialized communities where you can create value for the users while gaining high powered links and reaching new communities of users.
Had enough of content creation and link building? It’s time to go visual by submitting videos to video content sites like YouTube. You can submit any kind of videos that would attract your target audience and link those videos back to your website and blog.
Build a network by creating your space on social networking sites like Face Book, Twitter etc. As they say that friends go a long way in spreading word of mouth.
Level 4 – Appease the Search Gods
Other than well optimized pages, the search engine are looking at fresh content that’s informative, unique and resourceful and quality links from high page rank, credible, popular and related websites and web communities.
If you have followed the advice so far, the search engine gods will be happy with you.
Level 5 – Show them the Money
If you have big bucks, Google Adwords and pay per click (PPC) campaigns are a great way to make an announcement. Why wait for traffic to be earned when you can buy it so to speak! But for those people, this is not the right article.
Level 6 – Your online business
If you have done your job well, you will have happy users who find a service/ product/ information they need, happy search engines and a very happy Brand (You).
All this will make this SEO expert rather HAPPY!

Benefits of dofollow blog commenting services
Admin, August 7, 2010
Having great content is just not enough to make a website show up in the search engines. While promoting a web site, backlinks (the links from other sites leading to your site) are very crucial. One of the ways to get backlinks is commenting on blogs having similar content or subject as your own website.
In a blog, every comment typically carries the link to your website which doesn’t even require you to log in and leave a comment which makes this whole blogging process a great experience.
One of the negative aspects associated with blog commenting is the fact that most of the blog software tag the comment link as “nofollow”. The “nofollow” command literally means don’t follow as it tells the search engines no to follow those comment links. The nofollow command is an attempt to reduce the blog comment spam which the blogs have been receiving in abundance lately. The nofollow command prevents the spammers from earning PageRank points which they earn easily by flooding the blogs with comments.
Although, it helps prevention from spammers but it also leads to penalization of the honest commenter who has no intensions of spamming. To oppose this rise of the nofollow tag, the “dofollow movement” came into existence. The dofollow tag enables the bloggers to manually manage their blog comments where they can easily remove the nofollow tag. It is quite a difficult job to find the dofollow blogs as they are very rare because most of the blogs are nofollow. But once you find out a dofollow blog, you need to spend a lot of time in commenting on the dofollow blogs to promote your website.
To solve the problem of finding the dofollow blogs, a lot of dofollow search engines have been established. If you find a good post, you must leave a thought provoking comment so that you can get an approval to earn a dofollow link. One of the major benefits if dofollow blog commenting services is that it gives an opportunity for building links, as it a cost effective and a very easy method.
Dofollow blog commenting services provide SEO benefits. Along with providing immediate search engine ranking benefits like dropping comments on the dofollow blog, it also provides a lot of long term benefits wherein it enables you to leave thought provoking comments and help you connect with the millions of bloggers and enable to build your links directly. Indeed it is a great link building strategy.
As a blogger’s time is equivalent to his money, make sure that you invest your time wisely in commenting on a dofollow blog. In fact, don’t just comment on a dofollow blog, comment both on the dofollow as the nofollow blog as it is more important to comment on the blogs that are similar in content to your website rather than thinking about which one is a dofollow or a nofollow. Commenting on a dofollow blog offers a lot of SEO benefits but it is quite time consuming. So leave your comments according to the needs of your website.
