</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There was an interesting discussion about the difference between "Black Hat" and "white Hat" SEO, and how their meanings change over time. This led to talk about Google's place as the enforcer of rules.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br />
</b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>What's Better: PPC or SEO?</b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you've ever wondered whether you should focus your efforts on PPC or SEO, some experts looked at the pros and cons of both, which could help you in your decision. Of course using both is always an option, but does one fit your plan and budget better than the other?<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Ranking In Real-Time Search</b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Real-time search has been the subject of much discussion throughout the industry in 2009. Now the year is almost over, and Google has finally introduced its version right into its regular search results. What does this mean and how can you optimize for it? <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Future Of Online PR</b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">PR tools change over time, but the principles remain relatively consistent. In the age of social media, many PR professionals have discovered just that, and many more marketers continue to do so as time progresses. That said, PR must still evolve to utilize the evolution of tools and go where the people are.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Lessons from Political Social Media</b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Social media has changed politics. There's no question about it. The last U.S. Presidential election really highlighted it, but you can expect that every election from here on out will accentuate that point further. Dan Siroker, former Deputy New Media Director for the Obama Presidential Transition discussed the topic at the conference and pointed to five lessons that should be taken away.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Be Proactive to Avoid Duplicate Content Issues</b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Duplicate content is one of those topics in search engine marketing that comes up over and over again. It never really goes away. Though Google has come right out and said that it doesn't exactly get you "penalized" in their search engine, there are still reasons it should generally be avoided in most cases (though there are exceptions). Experts discussed ways to better manage your content to avoid duplicate content issues.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Small Businesses And Social Media</b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The big companies often make social media look easy, but let's face it. Small businesses just don't have the same resources. That doesn't mean that small businesses can find a tremendous amount of benefit to using social media channels to connect with the customers and the general public. Need some advice?<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Moving Beyond Google</b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There's no question that Google is a dominant force on the Internet. You can hardly ignore Google as a marketer or webmaster. Still, it's not the only thing people use on the Internet, and it's not the only way they find content, products, and sites. It shouldn't be your only area of focus. At SES, some tips on moving beyond Google were discussed.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>How Marketers Can Find Success Via Search</b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Search is getting harder for marketers all the time. Search engines frequently change how they deliver results. Google has really driven this point home in the past week with the announcements of personalized and real-time search. Search marketers have to constantly adapt. Still, there are some things that never change. Experts discussed how marketers can find success with search in one session at the conference.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Optimizing for Mixed Media Search Results</b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">One of the ways search is getting more challenging for marketers is the inclusion of mixed media search results like Google's Universal Search. Google sometimes delivers news search, image search, blog search, local search, and other kinds of results (now real-time results) in SERPs, and while this can be great for users, it also means less focus on organic search results. That means as a search marketer, you really can't ignore the mixed media result being pulled.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is to aid SEO BONDS Followers.<br />

</style> Here's a compiled list of 10 vital things in SEO - from choosing an expert to instructing your web developer - that every marketer needs to consider when undertaking search engine optimization as part of their marketing mix. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>1. Strategy First</b><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Please, don't ask for a full SEO proposal from an agency until you have set your strategy. Too often, agencies will respond with a full proposal, including lots of articles to be created, sites to be built and links to be implemented without a clear strategy. <o:p></o:p><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Some sites are more straight forward but others are complex and would benefit from asking a couple of agencies to get involved at the research stage - ask them about the strengths and weaknesses of your site, what they think of your competitors, and what strategic approach they would take with your site. <br />
<br />
To get the best advice from this process, expect to pay the agencies involved. A small percentage of your online budget spent on good strategy will save you dollars in the long term. Even better, pay two agencies for a strategy recommendatíon and then choose the best one for your business!<br />
<br />
<b>2. Choosing a Consultant</b><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> You need to work with someone who can communicate about SEO in plain English, someone who can take complicated ideas and techniques and turn them into something you can understand, then make a decision on - especially as there are often many possible solutions to choose from.<br />
<br />
Someone with experience in your vertical - such as travel, finance, retail - as well as several other verticals is important. An SEO consultant with experience across multiple types of business, as well as experience that is directly relevant to you will have better problem solving skills and more exposure to technologies. Experience in your sector will mean the consultant will be very helpful in defining your strategy, understanding terminology, and knowing what your competitors are doing.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Expectations</b><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">What are realistic expectations from your investment in SEO?<br />
<br />
Too often, we see marketers defining their keyword set or crazy goals for their site without any basis in how SEO really works. If you are a law firm, for example, and you want to rank highly for terms such as "lawyer", or "barrister", then you have to take into account that these are extremely popular and competitive terms. It might not be achievable, and even if it is, it's probably a very hard road to get there. <o:p></o:p><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Be open to advice when setting the goals for your website (which should be a part of the keyword research period of your SEO project). If you have a PPC campaign running first, you can use the keyword data from that campaign to gain an understanding of what is important for your website.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Using the Right Language</b><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Optimizing begins with keyword research that helps you understand the language your customers are using to find your products and services. <br />
<br />
Be realistic. It may sound obvious but, if the words your customers are using to search are not on your website pages, then you won't be found in the search engines for those words.<br />
<br />
Similarly, brand words and buzz words are all very nice in marketing, but if people aren't using those words to search, then again you won't be found. <br />
<br />
Be ready to change the language of your site. Be open to the idea of conforming your website to the language people use. Optimization is about including those words in the right areas of your pages (such as navigation, links, headings, meta tags and content) so the search engine sees all the right signals to understand what your site's pages should be ranked for.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Measurement</b><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Rankings are not the only measure of success! For many years, SEO firms have measured everything on rankings. However, we recommend using analytics similar to a PPC (paid) search campaign for a more comprehensive measure of success.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Here is a simple description of how to do that: Take what you are spending on SEO and put it against traffic and conversions to work out cost per unique browser, cost per click and cost per conversion. It's best to analyze these over a period of six and/or twelve months to allow for any changes in SEO to come into effect. This is because the major difference between SEO and PPC is the implementation time - for SEO, the results will take months, rather than days.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Moving Variables</b><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> There are so many moving variables in SEO that it would be impossible to find one person who knows everything! But a good SEO consultant is worth their weight in gold. Their value is not necessarily in the implementation, but in tapping into their experience to find the right implementation. One tiny piece of advice from them which may take 10 minutes to explain could be worth more than a copywriter producing numerous articles for your site each month.<br />
<br />
<b>7. One Agency or Two?</b><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Some agencies have two separate teams working on SEO and PPC. Some marketers choose two completely different agencies to handle their SEO and PPC campaigns.<br />
<br />
However, the two are very closely related and the results from one can be useful to the other. For instance, the keyword data from your PPC campaign can help with your SEO keyword research. On the flip side, optimizing pages for SEO will usually provide your PPC campaigns with a better quality score. When PPC and SEO listings are seen together on a search engine, they usually improve the click-through and conversion rates for both campaigns.<br />
<br />
They go hand in hand, and each can have a positive effect on the other if done well. And with one agency on both campaigns, they will have a greater depth of experience with your business, which can only help you to succeed.<br />
<br />
<b>8. Web Developers are not SEO Experts</b><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Finally, a word on expertise. Most web developers say they are experts in SEO. There is no doubting that many of them do a reasonable job, but they are not truly specialists in the area of SEO. <br />
<br />
In the same way, I wouldn't recommend that an SEO specialist designs your website. They are specialist skills, which both contribute to the success of your business. <br />
<br />
<b>9. Use of Java Script</b><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Those pesky robots that the major search engines rely on to rank web pages have until recently imposed some limitations for web development. While useful code such as Java Script can make your website really functional - a simple example is a loan calculator, and many websites' navigation and links - and thus attractive to users, the robots often couldn't follow the code properly, and thus skipped over it. The major problem was that commonly, web developers didn't know that Java Script wasn't being read or followed by the robots. <br />
<br />
That has changed recently, with Google updating its technology so that the robots can read and follow Java Script. When the robots can follow a website's navigation and links properly, the SEO rankings are greatly influenced. <br />
<br />
<b>10. Flash</b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Potentially any Flash file can now be indexed, according to Google, but it still depends on how that Flash site is constructed. Generally older Flash sites are not seen in the most effective way by the search engines, though it depends on the practices of the Flash developer. Many older Flash sites have overcome this problem by building an underlying version of the site in html - though this method too has its drawbacks.<br />
<br />
Flash sites need to be built like html sites, with multiple files that optimize each keyword. If you are building a new Flash site, be sure to consult with an SEO expert before the developer starts on the build.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Some people, even at Google, still think that Google hates SEO. In some cases it really does. At the same time Google loves SEO as actions speak louder than words. Google provides not a few, not several but by now 10 free Google SEO tools everybody should use. I remember the times when we had none of them. Today we have an abundance of data Google allows us to mine.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> You know, I’m often quite critical of Google but when there is one thing the search giant does right then it’s the plethora of tools it offers. So here is the list of 10 free Google SEO tools everybody should use. Most of these SEO tools are good for keyword research and on page SEO. Please read to the end, I guess some of you won’t know all of them.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, here are the 10 free Google SEO Tools Everybody should use.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Starting with......<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>1.</strong> <strong>Google Webmaster Tools</strong><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Google Webmaster tools is the equivalent of a mechanic looking after you car daily but for websites of course. Identify broken links, malware and other issues and find out what search queries lead to your pages even with clickthrough statistics. It even checks your website speed and tells you why it’s too slow.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2. Google Analytics</strong><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In case you still don’t know GA you have probably slept for years. Some SEOs don’t use it due to paranoia of being controlled by Google though. You have to decide yourself what’s more important, a very useful analytics tools or the fact that Matt Cutts can look under your skirt.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>3. Google Website Optimizer</strong><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">With Google Website Optimizer you can test different versions of your pages. This way you can determine the best converting ones. It’s called A/B split testing or multivariate testing and is all the rage lately in SEO circles and beyond.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>4. Google Zeitgeist</strong><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Google Zeitgeist is not a tool in the strictest sense but you can use it keyword research nonetheless. In fact it shows the most popular queries so it’s a good starting point in your SEO campaign. Take the Zeitgeist popular keywords and then test some keyphrases containing them with the other tools that will follow in this list. Also checkout the current Zeitgeist aka Hot Trends.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>5. Google Trends</strong><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Google Trends lets you compare traffic for popular search terms and websites. This way you can determine whether a topic is rising in popularity or not. Works gret combined with Google Zeitgeist and Google Insight for Search<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>6. Google Insights for Search</strong><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Insights for Search is like Google Trends on steroids. You can look up most keywords here, even those that aren’t popular at all. Compare up to five keywords and their ensuing traffic.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>7. Google Traffic Estimator</strong><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is a classic tool. It says “Adwords” but you can use it to find out the probably number visitors a keyword can bring to your site.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>8. Google Keyword Tool</strong><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Keyword Tool is like the Traffic Estimator but from a differnet angle. Some people prefer this others prefer that. You’ll want to check both to make sure you’re on the right track with your keywords.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>9. Google Search Based Keyword Tool</strong><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This very neat tool allowas you to find out related keywords to a site or existing keyword or rather both. It’s connected to Google Insights for Search is a very useful way.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>10. Google Ad Planner</strong><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Google Ad Planner is like Alexa and SpyFu in one. Use it to screen popular sites or your competitors for keyword intelligence or both.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">While using theses tools remember to take the numbers with a grain of salt, they are never completely accurate but in many cases thy are the best numbers we can get. As you can see Google facilitates both keyword research and on page SEO. We get even some assistance with link building by Webmaster Tools.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So does Google hate SEO? Maybe some engineers are rooted in the past or prefer prejudice over judgment but based on the tools Google works together with webmasters and SEOs the best it can. Don’t ignore the tools Google offers. You lose money right now when you do.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">On a side note: Guess what the Google Search Based Keyword Tool suggest me when I add my site onreact.com and SEO? The first result is: Google SEO tools. This is just coincidence, I didn’t check the tool to get inspired to this article but the other way around. So in a way Google knows what I will think next.<br />

<br />
If I had to lose all but one of my SEO tools - this would be the one I'd keep which is why it gets listed first. This little tool allows me to quickly look at the top 10 results in the SERPs and within seconds see all the PageRank, indexed page numbers, backlinks to that page, domain backlinks, the age of the site and much, much more.<br />
<br />
This tool doesn't provide any revolutionary information in that it's all data that can be accessed directly. However, it reduces the time taken for tasks that would take minutes to seconds. It then provides easy links to more detailed information. A fantastic tool.<br />
<br />
Oh, and it also adds a line through all nofollowed links. Very handy when link building.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/seo-for-firefox.html" target="_blank"><u>SEO for Firefox</u></a> <br />
<br />
Aaron Wall over at SEO Book has added a great tool to the mix that duplicates a lot of functions of SEO Quake but which has enough additional features to be very useful. Basically - neither is a replacement for the other.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<a href="http://yoast.com/tools/seo/link-analysis/" target="_blank"><u>SEO Link Analysis</u></a> <br />
<br />
A HUGE thumbs way up (two of them in fact) to Joost de Valk who made all our lives simpler when this tool launched. What this tool does is display the PageRank and anchor text of every link when you perform a backlink check on one of the major engines. I suppose you could visit every single site and get this information yourself and there's value in that to be sure, but when you need a quick analysis of a site's backlinks - this tool is invaluable.<br />
<br />
As a sidenote – it works VERY well with SEO Quake.<br />
<br />

<br />
With this tool we're getting a bit more advanced. For those of you who understand coding or are learning (and you should be), this tool is incredible. It allows for quick testing and viewing of a site's structure including, image info, table and cell information, W3C compliance, CSS details and MUCH, MUCH more.<br />
<br />
I can't possibly list off all the functions this tool offers and admittedly I don't use them all but I use enough of them regularly for this tool to make my top 10 list. <br />

</tbody></table><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419" target="_blank"><u>IE Tab</u></a> <br />
<br />
This is an odd tool to add and it's purely a convenience tool but like adding a second monitor to your system - once you have it and realize that it saves you just a few seconds dozens of times per day you quickly realize that your productivity relies on it.<br />
<br />
With a simple click of a button, this tool loads Internet Explorer into your Firefox tab so you don't have to go back-and-forth between browsers when testing. I could survive without it, but since you have Firefox anyways...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bit.ly/12jbK" target="_blank"><u>Search Status</u></a> <br />
<br />
This is another tool with many uses. On the surface it simply displays PageRank, Alexa and Compete rank and mozRank data but with a right-click of the icon you get access to a whole slew of additional information, including fast links to whois, the robots and sitemap files, keyword density information, Archive.org info, and it will even highlight nofollow links.<br />

<b>Here are some of the key tools you need to use to help insure the successful optimization of your website.</b><br />
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal" target="_blank"><u>Google Keyword Tool</u></a> <br />
<br />
Many of you are likely familiar with Google's keyword tool, but it needs to be noted. This is a great resource for researching keywords. As with all keyword tools, it has its limitations and most would agree that it seems to overestimate search volume but nonetheless it is probably the best of the keyword tools out there, especially at the price.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.keyworddiscovery.com/" target="_blank"><u>Keyword Discovery</u></a> <br />
<br />
No individual set of data is perfect and no stage of the SEO process is more important than keyword research and selection. Keyword Discovery is a great tool to compare with the Google keyword data. Where you find commonalities you know that 2 independent sets of data agree. With a free tríal that may itself work for many - it's certainly worth looking into. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.keywordspy.com/?af=beanstalkseo" target="_blank"><u>Keyword Spy</u></a> <br />
<br />
While the paid version of this tool is more than the $100/yr. max I noted previously - the free version provides some great data. Simply enter a competitor URL and you'll find out some valuable data about the keywords they rank for both organically and in AdWords. This is great for competitor analysis as well as for finding keywords you might not have thought of. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html" target="_blank"><u>Xenu Link Sleuth</u></a> <br />
<br />
A fantastic free tool that crawls websites, reporting back all the broken links. Over time, almost all sites get broken links. Running this tool periodically will help you find them so you can fix them. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/" target="_blank"><u>Google Webmaster Tools</u></a> <br />
<br />
Arguably one of the most important of the SEO tools. Google Webmaster Tools allows webmasters (and SEO's of course) to see their website the way Google does. With this tool you'll get to see what your site is appearing for in the results, what pages on your site are linked to but don't exist, and a wide array of errors and statistics.<br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=8159645279488714065" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=8159645279488714065" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=8159645279488714065" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=8159645279488714065" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=8159645279488714065" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><br />
<a href="http://www.page-prowler.com/" target="_blank"><u>Page Prowler</u></a> <br />
<br />
Page Prowler is a backlink research tool that allows the user to collect large amounts of potential backlink information, sort that data by site strength, and then proceed to pursue those backlinks. The value of this tool is primarily in the time it saves. It has no function that could not be done manually, but it can compile data that would otherwise take a person hours or days to collect quickly and easily. <br />
<br />
<b>Full disclosure</b> – Shawn (the developer) asked me to advise on the development of this link building tool and I'm also assisting in it's marketing. I was extremely impressed with Shawn's first version of PR Prowler which includes some great functions and information. I felt the need to note this, but I'll also note that we at Beanstalk use this tool regularly. I would not include it here if it didn't deserve to be and I'd include it here if I had nothing to do with it other than my using it. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.advancedwebranking.com/" target="_blank"><u>Advanced Web Ranking</u></a> <br />
<br />
Advanced Web Ranking is probably the most affordable of the better rank checking software programs. It has a ton of great features including scheduling and auto-report generation. You can set the searches to take place slowly to reduce the impact on the search engines. I still recommend to run it in the evening to further minimize your impact during high-volume search periods. <br />

</tbody></table><a href="http://www.beanstalk-inc.com/tools/multikeyword_rank/" target="_blank"><u>Multiple Keyword Rack-Checking Tool</u></a> <br />
<br />
This is probably one of the most popular tools on the Beanstalk site. One of the pet peeves I always had with online rank checking tools was checking rankings one-at-a-time. This tool allows you to check your rankings on Google ten at a time. Apparently others agree as it's the most used tool of our set. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.seocompany.ca/tool/seo-tools.html" target="_blank"><u>136 SEO Tools</u></a> <br />
<br />
While we've tried to include a solid set of very affordable tools in this article, you might find value in tools we don't use. The "136 SEO Tools" page is regularly updated and includes some very interesting (though not part of my daily arsenal) tools. Highly recommended to visit at least once. I have it in my bookmarks and check back every couple months to see what new tools have been added.CrowdSourcerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08126105972189622297noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159645279488714065.post-51630317797652314062009-12-04T20:48:00.000-08:002010-01-10T20:05:19.284-08:00Effective Link Building Methods<div style="color: #f3f3f3; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Trivia Link: </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,Sans-Serif; font-size: small;"> <br />
</span><br />
</div><div style="color: #f3f3f3; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,Sans-Serif; font-size: small;"> "Link building is the process of building backlinks to your site. More backlinks (link form other sites to your site) a site has, higher it ranks on the search engines. Link building therefore is a mission of all money making webmasters."</span><br />
</div><div style="color: #f3f3f3; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div style="color: #f3f3f3; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,Sans-Serif; font-size: small;"> Link building methods have changed form time to time and a specific method that worked yesterday may not work today anymore. This is due to changes in the industry over time and in some cases extreme abuse. If a specific link building method has been abused too much, then that method will not work anymore.<br />
<br />
It is therefore very important to know which link building method works today so that you can spend your time in a most productive way.<br />
<br />
There are many link building methods out there today that work with some working better than others. Below are some of the today's popular links building methods that work to some extent:<br />
<br />
<b>Article Submission</b><br />
<br />
If you are reading this article, then you know that you can publish your own article in article directories. Not only do you gain backlinks to your site from your published articles (see bottom of this article), you will get some traffic as a bonus. Think of you reading this article. There might be many reading your published articles as well.<br />
<br />
Article submission is a great way of building backlinks as it provides you with 100% relevant contextual backlinks that Google loves.</span><br />
</div><div style="color: #f3f3f3; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div style="color: #f3f3f3; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> <br />
</div><div style="color: #f3f3f3; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,Sans-Serif; font-size: small;"> <b>Directory Submission</b><br />
<br />
Directory submission used to work lot better before but it is still a popular link building method that still works if done properly. How many directories are out there as of this date is anyone's guess but one thing is certain: that most of the directories aren't worth submitting to.<br />
<br />
Google considers a Yahoo Directory link as a quality backlink so if you can afford and justify the cost, it is worth submitting to Yahoo Directory. Yahoo charges $300 for a yearly submission and there is no guarantee that your site will be approved!<br />
<br />
DMOZ is another directory that is worth submitting to and can come to great benefit in your SEO campaign. It may take months to get the approval form DMOZ and the chance of getting approved is pretty slim. Lot of small directories use DMOZ directory categories so getting listed with DMOZ would mean getting bonus listing on many other web directories.<br />
<br />
Another good directory to submit to would be BOTW directory that cost $99 for a yearly submission and $299 for a permanent listing.<br />
<br />
Other than the above ones, you should look for quality directories where you can submit your site. You can judge the quality of the directories by analyzing the number of sites listed, number of backlinks the directory has, PR, age of the directory, etc.<br />
<br />
<b>Social Bookmarking</b><br />
<br />
Social bookmarking worked like charm only a few months ago. If bookmarked on authority and quality bookmarking site like Digg, Mixx, Propeller, etc, then you can still make good use of social bookmarking. Other than backlinks, social bookmarking also offers you some bonus traffic depending on where you submit to. If you can manage to put together or collect a good bookmarking site list, then social bookmarking can still be a useful link building method.</span><br />
</div><div style="color: #f3f3f3; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,Sans-Serif; font-size: small;"> <b>Blog Commenting</b><br />
<br />
This is a link building method where lots of spamming have already been done so to make the best of it, you need to work a little harder here. It is best to find quality blogs related to your own category and make on-topic relevant comments. Not only do your comments add value to the blogpost, you now have a greater chance of getting your comment approved and your comments have greater chance of staying on those blogposts.<br />
<br />
<b>Press Releases</b><br />
<br />
Submitting to press release sites can get you some backlinks as well. It is however hard to put together a list of good press release sites that's worth submitting to. If a good list can be managed, then this method can offer some quality relevant backlinks as well.<br />
<br />
<b>Social Media and Web 2.0 Pages</b><br />
<br />
There are a lot of quality social media and Web 2.0 sites where you can publish your articles for backlinks. You should write articles that are relevant to your site and publish them on these social media and Web 2.0 sites with your keywords hyperlinked to your own site. Some of the authority sites are Squidoo, Hubpages, Blogger, Wordpress.com, etc.<br />
<br />
Social media and Web 2.0 links are very popular these days as they work great. They offer quality relevant contextual backlinks that Google and other major search engines love. There are lots of other link building methods out there but if you can utilize the above ones to their fullest potential, there is no need for any other methods.</span><br />

</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> Bing unveiled new and improved tools like <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/181927/bing_gets_wolfram_alpha_integration_in_update.html">Wolfram Alpha integration</a>, Facebook Previews and full-page weather reports. Then Google hit back with enhanced<a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/googles-movie-showtimes-digitally.html"> movie listings</a> and yet <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/locking-safesearch.html">safer SafeSearch</a>. Before that Bing unveiled an <a href="http://www.bing.com/community/blogs/maps/archive/2009/11/10/bing-maps-gets-an-overhaul-and-some-new-features.aspx">overhauled maps interface</a>, the next day Google announced <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/fifty-states-of-street-view.html">Street View was now available in all fifty states</a>. Last month during the Web 2.0 Summit, the two search engines sent out competing press releases bragging about <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/174131/realtime_search_google_and_bing_rivalry_intensifies_on_facebook_and_twitter.html">Twitter integration</a>, and on and on it goes.<o:p _moz-userdefined=""></o:p></span><br />
</div><div> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> Google may be the leading search engine, but Bing is doing its best to push its way up the popularity charts.<o:p _moz-userdefined=""></o:p></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">It's nothing new to try and suck the life out of a competitor's product by making a competing major announcement around the same time. <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/166236/palm_pre_launch_is_highstakes_gamble.html">Palm and Sprint</a> tried to do that to Apple with the <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/165125/palm_pre_launch_set_for_june_6_then_the_reckoning_begins.html">launch of the Palm Pre</a>. Not to mention that <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/165666/googles_wave_consolidates_core_online_features_in_one_tool.html">Google Wave</a> launched on May 28, the same day that <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/165651/its_official_bing_is_now_microsofts_search_engine.html">Bing made its debut</a>. But lately, the battle between Google and Bing is getting to be like a tennis match that never ends, just a constant rally back and forth as each side tries to outmaneuver the other.<o:p _moz-userdefined=""></o:p></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> Look at Wednesday: Bing announces some interesting new features that integrate the computational power of Wolfram Alpha into its search results. As an added bonus, Bing gets limited Facebook integration and tweaks its weather results.</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <o:p _moz-userdefined=""></o:p></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> How does Google respond? An announcement about tweaked movie searches, and password protection for your SafeSearch settings--Google's filter for explicit content. Improved SafeSearch is worth talking about and likely a welcome improvement, but the Google Movies announcement looks like a desperate plea to prove that Google can be just as consumer oriented as Bing.</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p _moz-userdefined=""></o:p></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> Although competing announcements can get a little tiring, there's a lot to love about the heavy competition in the search market. Google and Microsoft realize that search is where the online money is, which is why they spend so much time on new features and products that will keep you coming back for more. Increased competition could lead to helpful technologies emerging like improved <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/161950/googles_new_semantic_search_a_test.html">semantic search</a>, <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/181190/seattle_experiments_with_hyper_local_news.html">hyper local features</a>, <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/153871/iphone_gets_google_search_by_voice.html">voice activated search</a> on your PC and who know what else? <o:p _moz-userdefined=""></o:p></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> It's an exciting future for search--I can't believe I just said that--and Google and Bing are working hard to deliver the latest and greatest features to their loyal users. I just hope they don't lose focus on basic things like filtering search spam and phishing detection in the rush to deliver new features before the other guy does.<o:p _moz-userdefined=""></o:p></span><br />

</div><div style="color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,Sans-Serif; font-size: medium;"><b>Google Caffeine is the name given to Google's "Next Generation" search engine</b>, which it will use to rank and index all the pages on the wonderful world wide web. According to all indications, this is not just another one of Google's infamous Updates, but a major "Overhaul" of its index and algorithm, the complex formula and calculations Google uses to rank all web pages, including yours.</span><br />
</div><div style="color: white; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: white; text-align: justify;"><i>This post is from Titus Hoskins of </i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,Sans-Serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>Free Marketing Tools & Internet Marketing Tools.</i></span><br />
</div><div style="color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div style="color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,Sans-Serif; font-size: small;"> If that doesn't sound ominous enough, according to Matt Cutts (Google Spokesperson) one database is already showing Google Caffeine, and the full blown version will be released after the holidays. The reasoning behind this, Google doesn't want to upset webmasters and site owners during the lucrative holiday buying season. In the past, other major Google Updates have come around this time of the year, most notably the "Florida Update" which severely affected many web sites and webmasters.<br />
<br />
Recently, Google has been more aware and much more generous to webmasters by being more open and forthcoming in regards to how it indexes its pages. This time around, webmasters were even given access to a beta version of Caffeine which Google released last summer ('09) where webmasters could check to see how well their keywords and site would fare in this new search index. This beta site (<a href="http://www2.sandbox.google.com/" target="_blank">www2.sandbox.google.com</a>) has now been taken down by Google.<br />
<br />
Like any professional search engine marketer who works online, I was constantly checking my sites and keywords in Google's new search engine. I have drawn some conclusions from what I have observed, but please be aware it is often very foolish to draw conclusions and make predictions from your own small sampling of results. You can end up with egg on your face very quickly, especially when you consider Google is probably still making adjustments and refinements on Caffeine as it analyzes the results.<br />
<br />
However, there are certain ranking factors that even Google is telling us about, mainly "Site Speed" or how fast your site loads will play a part in how it's ranked. We have also heard a lot about "Broken Links" and if your page or site has them, then it will probably be ranked lower. Of course, linking out to "Bad Neighborhoods" will probably still not be a good practice if you want higher rankings within Google.<br />
<br />
It should not come as a shock or a surprise, that "Over-All Page Quality" will play a greater role in how well your page ranks. Keep in mind, Google is like any other company putting out a product, if that product doesn't have a high standard of quality, it reflects badly back on everyone concerned. Google's SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) is the key to all their online revenue, they must do everything in their power to keep that product fast, relevant, current and above all, something of high quality.<br />
<br />
Therefore, expect "OnPage Factors" to play a much greater role in Google Caffeine. Quality unique content, page design, good navigation, title, meta tags, description, keyword density, alt tags, page views, bounce rate, traffic numbers, time spent on page, and the number of social bookmarks may play an increased role in achieving high rankings. A perfectly optimized keyworded page, with the keyword in the title, description, meta tags, alt tags, on the page... will probably get you ranked higher in Caffeine, as well as most search engines on the web.</span><br />

</span><br />
</div><div style="color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,Sans-Serif; font-size: small;"> This may be pure speculation on my part, but one of the areas Caffeine will be addressing or incorporating is "Social BookMarking", that is the number of social bookmarks a page receives will determine how high it is ranked. I also believe one of the major reasons these bookmarks will become much more important has to do with the whole nasty issue of link buying.<br />
<br />
Now, the integrity of Google's index is not in question, but any savvy marketer or webmaster knows any individual or company with deep pockets and huge resources can buy their way into the top spot. Despite Google's attempt to stop it, link buying and keyword positioning is a thriving industry on the web. Rightly or wrongly, money and unlimited resources will get you or your company to the top in organic search, regardless of which search engine you're targeting.<br />
<br />
All moral and ethnical issues aside, the small webmaster and/or online marketer is stuck right in the middle, with Google on one side and these major multinational competitors on the other. Looming on the horizon is Google Caffeine, a new sheriff in town!<br />
<br />
<b>What new rules will this sheriff bring?</b><br />
<br />
The major question here is this: has the importance of backlinking been downplayed in this new index in favor of the keyworded domain and onsite content and optimization? Has there been a major shift to listing more quality content rather than relying on the number of backlinks a site is receiving, even from important related themed sites? The major problem and question to Google is this: if links can be bought, how do you keep your organic results democratic and fair, which was the original intention of Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they started Google in 1998.<br />
<br />
<b>One possible solution is social bookmarking.</b><br />
<br />
Will we see an ever growing importance of social bookmarks and links in this new index. It is quite easy to buy 1000 links, but getting 1000 or 10,000 "re-tweets" is a little more difficult, similarly getting two or three thousand "diggs" may be a little harder to pull off. Same goes for <a href="http://del.icio.us/" target="_blank">Del.icio.us</a> bookmarks, Facebook fans... well you get the picture. Will Google's use of these new social sites make Caffeine faster, more relevant, more current and most importantly of all, can it bring some democracy back into their index?<br />
<br />
Of course, nothing in Google's new index will be that cut and dry, that black and white. Other ranking factors such as age of site, past history and reputation, traffic numbers, authority branding... will all play a role in whether your site gets listed on that all important first page. However, on page factors may play a greater role - title, meta tags, description, keyword density, alt tags, page views, bounce rate, time spent on page, and the number of social bookmarks may play an increased role in achieving high rankings. Website speed or how fast your site loads may also be a new ranking factor.<br />
<br />
Underlying this whole issue is the fact which many experienced webmasters/marketers already know, Google's SERPs is not a one-trick pony anymore. For very lucrative (monetized) keyword phrases, Google's results are broken up into Five categories... Info listings, Video listings, News Listings, Shopping Listings and Corporate Listings. Forget Caffeine, this is probably the fairest move Google has made in the last few years to make its SERPs more democratic.</span><br />
</div><div style="color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="color: white; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; text-align: left; width: 745px;"><tbody>
<tr><td valign="top" width="*"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,Sans-Serif; font-size: small;"> Another even more puzzling issue for me concerning Google Caffeine is how much emphasis or ranking power will it place on "Keyworded Domains", domain names which have your keyword or keyword phrase in them. Will these domains be ranked higher? Webmasters and marketers for years have been telling us we should always pick domain names which have our major keywords in them. Just common sense really, someone searching for "brown widgets" will more likely than not find that item at a domain called brownwidgets(dot)com or brownwidget(dot)com. The major SEO reasoning, all your backlinks will inherently have your searched keyword in the URL, thus bringing it up in the rankings.<br />
<br />
Against this whole backdrop, everyone has to realize the web itself is evolving, new sites like Twitter, FaceBook... have changed the whole cyber landscape. Likewise, the web user is also changing and becoming more web savvy in how they use the web. Will search engines, not only Google, take a back-seat role in how we find stuff on the web? As major sites are branded into the web user's psyche, will these users go directly to these sites, by-passing the search engines altogether?<br />
<br />
As the web evolves, keyworded domains will become more valuable and this value will be reflected in the quality of the site. If you're making thousands or even millions from your keyworded domain, you can afford to invest in quality content and design. Cream rises to the top. Gradually, as these domains become more valuable, they will probably be snapped up by marketers and companies who know just how to exploit them. Thousands upon thousands of keyworded domains will probably be bought up by multi-billion dollar corporations who finally realize what the web has to offer. This new evolved web will probably be much more narrower in scope and very topic specific.<br />
<br />
<b>In the "next generation" web the re-direct shall be king!</b><br />
<br />
Will the role of the search engines, whether it be Google or Bing/Yahoo, become less and less important, as savvy web searchers go directly to a site by typing in the keyworded domain to find what they're looking for on the web? Cutting out the middleman may just become a world wide passion as big multinational and fully funded corporations snap up all these valuable and lucrative keyworded domains, will we see these domains grow in importance and the search engines take more of a back-up role? Human nature dictates we always take the fastest route to our destination, and the web will be no exception to this rule.<br />
<br />
Have all the smart people at Google figured this out already, and designed the new Google Caffeine to reflect the growing importance of the keyworded domain? Of course, we can only speculate when it comes to just what Google is planning and doing with its next generation search engine, but will onsite factors and your domain name play a greater role in their organic SERPs?<br />
<br />
Regardless of what the new sheriff actually does, when the dust finally settles on all these latest developments, the keyworded domain will probably be standing tall, watching the sun rise on a brand new day.</span><br />

If only! There are no fixed rules because every website is different and has different needs. There are basic things that all websites need to do in order to improve their chances of showing up in Google search results for relevant phrases, but no magic formula. <br />
<br />
See "The Art of SEO" article for more on this.<br />
<br />
</span><b style="color: #274e13;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">2.</span></i><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Do the following play important roles in website page ranking and positioning?</span></i></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
<br />
• <b>PR</b> <br />
<br />
Yes, real PageRank (PR), the kind that only Google knows about plays a very large part in websites showing up (or not) for search queries that are relevant to it. But toolbar PageRank is another matter entirely. What you see there doesn't correlate very well to where your page will show up in the search results. <br />
<br />
See: "Getting Into Google" (Scroll down to the "Google Still Loves Its PageRank" part.)<br />
<br />
• <b>The number of incoming links</b> <br />
<br />
Not so much in and of itself. Real PR, as mentioned above, is calculated not only on the number of links, but also on the quality of those links. A handful of links from authoritative, trustworthy, relevant pages should far outweigh hundreds of links from so-so sites. <br />
<br />
See the High Rankings Link Building Forum. <br />
<br />
• <b>Keyword density</b><br />
<br />
Not in that there's some special percentage that you need to aim for. Certainly it's helpful to have the keyword phrases that you'd like to show up being used within the content of your page. But that's just common sense, if you ask me. Surely, if your page is about a certain something (your keyword phrase), how could that phrase NOT be on the page? <br />
<br />
See the various threads on keyword density on the High Rankings Forum. <o:p _moz-userdefined=""></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 7.5pt 12pt 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p _moz-userdefined=""><br />
</o:p> • <b>Page response time</b><br />
<br />
This is important only because if it takes too long to load, it might not be properly (or completely) indexed. <br />
<br />
• <b>Bounce rate</b><br />
<br />
It's doubtful that this matters, because there's no way for Google to know the bounce rate of every site. And it wouldn't be fair for them to only count the bounce rates of those sites that have Google Analytics installed, so my guess is that this is not a factor. <br />
<br />
See various High Rankings forum threads.<br />
<br />
• <b>Time on site</b><br />
<br />
Like the above answer, they don't know this number unless the site has Google Analytics installed. That said, they may sometimes incorporate the old trick of seeing if a searcher clicks to another site in the search results after clicking one result, and how long it took them to click another. In other words, if they find that lots of people who clicked to one site in the search engine results pages (SERPs) always end up back at Google to try another site, then perhaps that first site wasn't a great answer to the search query after all. <br />
<br />
• <b>Domain page / Page age</b> <br />
<br />
From what I can tell, this can often be a factor. But it doesn't seem to be as prominent a factor as it was a few years ago.<br />
<b><br style="color: #274e13;" /></b> </span><b style="color: #274e13;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">3.</span></i></b><b><i style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;"> Is there any special technique for content writing?</span></i></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
<br />
There's no special technique, but I highly suggest hiring a professional marketing copywriter. You will see a positive return on your investment very quickly if you do. In addition, the tried and true SEO copyediting techniques in my "Nitty-gritty of Writing for Search Engines" may come in handy if you're not sure how to integrate your keyword phrases into your professionally written content. <o:p _moz-userdefined=""></o:p></span><b style="color: #274e13;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;"> </span></i></b><br />

<br />
There's not one shred of evidence that this would have an effect on where a page would show up in the search results for a relevant search query.<br />
<br />
</span><b style="color: #274e13;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">5.</span></i><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;"> If active scripting is a must for webpage development, how harmful can it be for PageRank and positions?</span></i></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
<br />
It's typically not harmful at all because it's usually done before a browser (or search engine spider) sees a page. To users and search engines, your dynamically generated pages are just static HTML by the time they get to them. Still, not all dynamically generated pages are created equal. There are some ways of developing your site that are less search friendly than others. For example, some JavaScript menus, some AJAX, etc. <br />
<br />
See "Diagnosing the SEO Health of Your Website".<br />
<br />
</span><b style="color: #274e13;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">6.</span></i><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;"> If a webpage is ranking top for a specific keyword, if we make textual changes in that webpage, is there any chance that we lose the rankings?</span></i></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
<br />
Any changes you make to a page's content can affect how relevant the search engines believe it to be for any particular search query. That doesn't mean it definitely will change the search results, but it could. The only way to know is to try it and see. Usually, if you're rewriting your page to be more useful to your site visitors and you don't remove all the instances of the keyword phrase, you should be fine. Because nothing is permanent with SEO, if you don't like what you see you can tweak it until you do.</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
The first thing you must do when you begin your quest to build links to your website is find relevant websites that will link to you.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
How I classify a relevant link is this: the page where your link will appear either mentions your keyword or a synonym to that keyword.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
As of right now, it does not appear that Google, Yahoo and MSN are using relevancy in their ranking algorithms but, trust me, they soon will.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
So why not start preparing for the coming changes now? Then when the changes are made, you will be ahead of everyone else – and your rankings will show it!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Here are some more reasons to start building relevant links now:<br />
1. You may actually receive traffic from those links if they are related to the theme of the site they are on.<br />
2. In the future, these links will be viewed by the search engines as more valuable and will make your web pages appear more relevant for your target search terms.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="color: #274e13; text-align: justify;"><b>Anchor Text Variety</b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Non Natural Anchor Text<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
The anchor text is the readable portion of the text that is usually underlined and in blue. Here is the html:<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/%E2%80%9Dhhttp://jobsadvisor.instantspot.com/blog%E2%80%9D">Job Search</a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
The portion that says “Golf Clubs” is the anchor text. This is important because this anchor text is how the search engines determine relevance for search terms. So if I want to rank for “Golf Clubs,” I would need to obtain some links with this in the anchor text.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Now this is where some people get carried away and shoot themselves in the foot.<br />
You see, many people go out and get 1,000 links all with the exact same anchor text. The problem is that this would not occur naturally. If you were to analyze the backlinks for some of your competitors, I am sure you would find that their backlink anchor text is not 100% pure.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
They might have “click here” or “http://jobsadvisor.instantspot.com/blog”, etc. It looks very suspicious to the search engines if your anchor text is all exactly the same.<br />
<br />
Natural Anchor Text Linking<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
In order to appear natural you need to ensure you build links using a variety of anchor text. Don’t be afraid to junk up your anchor text a bit. You may find it actually helps you in your rankings ☺<br />
I would recommend you use your top target keywords as anchor text using some variations with other keyword phrases. Also, throw in some “click here” and some “www.mydomain.com” … this will ensure your links look natural.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
In fact, you should come up with a list of anchor text variations that you can rotate through for each of your site’s pages. This will ensure your link portfolio looks as natural as possible to the search engines.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #274e13;">Deep Linking</span></b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Non Natural Inbound Linking (100% of the links go to the home page)<br />
This is an important tip and could be the difference between success and failure of your newly launched site(s).<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Deep links are links to internal pages of your website. Most people will aggressively build links only to their homepage … but this is definitely not the most natural looking linking profile.<br />
Instead, I would recommend you split you inbound links between your home page and your internal pages.<br />
You should still have about 50% or so of the links point to the homepage, but spread the other links out across your other pages.<br />
<br />
Natural Inbound Linking<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
This has a couple of benefits.<br />
• This will result in your site getting deeply spidered which in turn will cause the search engines to find and index more pages faster.<br />
• You will also start to notice that your internal pages will begin to rank better for their target keywords.<br />
• I believe if you do this on newly launched sites you can keep yourself out of the “Google sandbox.”<br />
<br />
<b style="color: #274e13;">Unique IP Addresses</b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Non Natural Linking from single IP address<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Every website is assigned to an IP address. An IP address can also be thought of as the equivalent of a street address or a phone number for a computer or other network device on the Internet.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Just as each street address and phone number uniquely identifies a building or telephone, an IP address can uniquely identify a specific server or a website.<br />
Here is an example IP Address:<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">123.456.789.000<br />
A Block: 123<br />
B Block: 456<br />
C Block: 789<br />
D Block: 000<br />
<br />
Natural Linking from various IP Addresses<br />
When building your links you want to ensure you get links from a variety of IP sources, this will ensure you have the most natural looking backlink portfolio.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
This may sound like a simple tip, but getting site wide links from a high PR website is not a good idea for this reason. You may get 1,000’s of links, but they are all from the same IP and will in short order hurt your rankings instead of improve them. This of course is mostly in Google, MSN may still give you some love.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="color: #274e13; text-align: justify;"><b>Link Building Velocity</b><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
One of the things that I learned from reading the Google Patent is that Google pays attention to the speed at which you aquire your links.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
This is why it is highly recommended that you build your links slowly and at a consistent velocity, or speed. The reason to do this is because a site that is naturally popular will consistently gain new links just from people wanting to share what they have found.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
In order to duplicate this, we must resist what can be a very strong urge to acquire as many links as we can as fast as we can.<br />

Google is one of the most powerful websites on the Internet and Google AdWords has brought in an astonishing $16 billion for Google in 2007 alone. But despite that, not all advertisers profit from Google AdWords.<br />
.<br />
To make sure that you are successful in your endeavour with Google AdWords, you do not have to bid on expensive keywords. All you need is some market research so that you will be able to identify the right niche keywords to match your website. Here, you might find a couple of AdWords tips useful.<br />
<b>.<br />
Use Your Keywords</b><br />
.<br />
Keywords are important, so make sure that it's there in your ads. An average person glance through their Google search results very quickly, so you must place in your keywords strategically to grab their attention. Otherwise, your ad will be missed and lose a chance for sale. You must make sure that the keyword is in the ad and that the ad makes sense to your prospects. I know that fitting in all the information is such a short space can be quite difficult, but it can be done with some time and practice. Make the most out of your ads by placing your keywords in them, or else your time and effort are wasted.<br />
.<br />
<b>Tips on Bidding Strategy: High To Low</b><br />
.<br />
Here's a trivia: Google ranks your ads through two categories, your bidding price and the number of clicks or Click-Through-Rate (CTR). When your ad is displayed and being click on, the total count is called the CTR. As a newbie, your ads initially get a low quality score, putting you on a disadvantage compare to older and more experience advertisers. Thus, in order for you ads to show, you need to bid a litter higher than usual. Most newbies bid high to get that initial exposure. Once you get an established amount of CTR, then you can lower your bid price. Ultimately, the goal is then to keep your ad on the first page with the lowest bid price possible.<br />
.<br />
<b>Bidding from Low To High</b><br />
.<br />
Another method of bidding is by starting with low bids. This is mostly used with keywords that are less competitive or if your budget are limited. You begin by bidding low and then slowly increasing your bid price until you land on the first page. Still, it is important to work within your budget, keep your ads on the first page while bidding as low as possible.<br />
.<br />
<b>Make Use of Negative Keywords</b><br />
.<br />
Negative keywords are used in order to prevent your ads from showing up in searches that are unrelated. As an online advertiser, you have a specific target audience and you want your ads to appear in front of them. Sometimes, by not using the negative keywords, your ad can appear in an unrelated search term and in front of the wrong audiences. For example, you might be selling a dog collar and "collar" is your keyword. Your ad will appear each time a person types in "collar", but there are many topics surrounding the word "collar" and the person may not be necessarily looking for dog collar. It's possible he's just looking for collar for his cat. This is where you used the negative keywords, add "cat" into the list and your ad would not appear. It's better to use the negative keyword especially you want to reduce unwanted ad exposure. This helps increase your CTR and most of your visitors are more likely to buy from your site.<br />

<b>Test Ads</b><br />
.<br />
Testing ads is always important,you can do this easily with Google AdWords. In fact, you don't have to do anything with Google AdWords at all when it comes to testing. By placing in two different ads in each AdGroup, Google AdWords then alternately displays the ads in search results. After running your ads for some time, based on the CTR results of each ad, you can choose which ad to use. As you continue to test different ads, eventually, you will find the best performing ad.<br />
.<br />
Being the biggest search engine in the entire world, Google has millions of ads placed everyday. To make your ads stand out and generate profit, a little information and understanding about how Google AdWords is crucial. These tips may just be a few among the strategies that you have to master, but these tips can help you start.<br />

All are great for sorting out the keyword competition, bid prices and narrowing down the best ads you have performing to help with your PPC management.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"> There are tons of others available, many seem to be popping up every day which has tools and features which make then unique from those above and just as helpful to have.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Two examples now available are: Adword Analyzer and Keywords Analyzer (more info at www.AdwordAnalyzer.com and www.KeyWordAnalyzer.com).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Sure having one keyword tool is good, but to get great PPC campaigns up and management at it’s best it’s better to have a variety of tools.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> .</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Think about keyword tools as if they were kitchen knives… you can’t use a butter knife to dice an onion and you can’t use a steak knife to spread jelly on your toast, you need a door full of different knives to be efficient, same goes with PPC Management.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"> When it comes to analyzing and putting together your keywords, it seems as if you cant learn enough. And its true, there is always more to learn. For one part, the first list of words, no matter how long it is, is not done.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Its because you never know what people are going to search for as new trends, facts, and fads come around. AltaVista at one point reported that 20% of its searches were 100% unique in its history. So keywords are an ever changing list.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> .</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Below youll find todays newest ideas for having your PPC Management be successful:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. Synonyms and similar/related topics and ideas are a must have on your keyword list. Having synonyms on the list helps you to better reach the group of people that you are after.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. Brand names are a good idea to bid on… if allowed. Google is pretty pressed at the moment with legal matters because they had allowed Adword users bid on trademarked names easily, so now you mighthave to work with copyright issues. But it is still extremely helpful to use company names, popular magazines and books, profile names and celebrities that is related to your product. Here’s an example. If you product has to do with cooking maybe bidding on “Paula Dean” or “Cuisinart” might be helpful.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">3. Misspellings. Most advertisers either don’t think to use misspelling for their keyword list or they just don’t bother with them. But internet users often misspell and they will normally have a higher click through rate because no one else is bidding.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">4. A few other helpful features to end on: LexFN.com is a great help with your PPC management. It’s simply a monstrous thesaurus that uses the web to find words that are synonyms and other related terms.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> .</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Its actually a pretty cool site just to play around in and see what comes up. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Google helps once youve put in your words. If you bid on an obvious generic version of a keyword like get a six pack and you dont deal with other variations like get a 6 pack or get a six-pack, Googles expanded phrase matching will help you. But its often cheaper just to go ahead a bid on the exact keywords because youre making Google not have to work as hard to help you out.</span></div><div class="uawresource" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><div class="uawabout">.<br />

marketing goals, good results come to those who chase numbers, but the
BEST results go to those who chase their COMPETITION!
That's also true for online marketing and for SEO in particular!
Target #1 position in Google, you obviously can get it. But look at
your competitors in the meanwhile, beat them one by one, and the
desired #1 position comes amazingly faster!
Kira, there are two simple tricks to outrank ANY competing
site, for ANY keyword, quickly - and WITH THEIR OWN HELP. Here it
starts: disclose every single winning step of your competition, use
their proven means for your advantage - and you simply leave them no
chance.
SEO PowerSuite tools help you use this trick in both vital aspects of
SEO:
1) On-page - using keywords smartly on your own website. You can take
top 10 Google leaders in your niche and figure out *how exactly they
arranged their content*, so that Google ranks them high. Then you make
your own on-page optimization plan, and it's working 100%, because to
put it together, you used only working real time examples.
The SEO PowerSuite tool that makes this on-page optimization trick
simple to use is WebSite Auditor. Here's the quick-start guide to this
smart software:
<a href="http://www.link-assistant.com/website-auditor/user-basics.html" target="_blank">http://www.link-assistant.com/website-auditor/user-basics.html</a>
2) Off-page - building a network of high-quality links. Find out what
links your competitors have, figure out their most profitable PageRank
and traffic sources, then get the same links plus a few more - and
very soon you'll occupy a search engine position much higher than
theirs. Wouldn't you like to look at your competitors FROM ABOVE? And
you will, with the tool from SEO PowerSuite pack called SEO SpyGlass.
Check SEO SpyGlass FREE and learn how to quickly put it to use:

your competition, your site will skyrocket in ANY search engine you
wish.

</div><ul style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><li><span style="font-size: small;">Tools can only provide helpful information and estimates. Don't let tools make your mind up for you! </span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-size: small;">Don't expect precise quantitative analysis from keyword tools.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Use tools for qualitative and relative analysis. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">People tend to typically use language in similar patterns. If there are 14,000,000 search results for ["car hire"] and only 2,000,000 pages for ["hire car"] then odds are car hire is a more common search term. </span></li>
</ul><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Since we estimate Google, Yahoo!, and MSN traffic based on Wordtracker's keyword data, any sampling error is amplified due to the difference in traffic. </span></li>
</ul><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">* Please note our tool currently assumes Google having ~ 70% of the market, Yahoo! having ~ 20% of the market, and MSN search having ~8% of the market, and is based on rough math that is less precise than Wordtracker's <a href="http://www.wordtracker.com/docs/members_userguide/ch04s02.html" target="_blank">computational techniques</a>. </span><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Depending on your topic / vertical and your geographic location the search engines may have vastly different search volumes. The tool can only possibly offer approximations. Exact search volumes are hard to find due to vanity searches, click bots, rank checkers, and other forms of automated traffic. Exceptionally valuable search terms may show far greater volume than they actually have due to various competitive commercial forces inflating search volumes due to automated search traffic. </span><br />

Directory</a> and Yahoo! Search work together to bring you the information and resources you are looking for.</span><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><ul class="bb-list" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Yahoo! Search</span> returns a list of webpages containing the words you entered. These results are a combination of relevant webpages and websites provided by Yahoo! Search and the Yahoo! Directory.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">The <span style="font-weight: bold;"> Yahoo! Directory</span> is a human-created and maintained collection of websites organized into <a class="bb-url" href="http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/directory/ctd/ctd-07.html">categories</a> and subcategories. Yahoo! editors review these sites for potential inclusion in the Directory, and to evaluate the best place to list them.</span></li>
</ul><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">For example, you can see a full listing of general sites related to dogs by visiting Yahoo!'s <span style="font-weight: bold;"><a class="bb-url" href="http://dir.yahoo.com/Science/Biology/Zoology/Animals__Insects__and_Pets/Mammals/Dogs/">Dogs</a></span></span> category. Sites about more specific dog-related subjects are listed under appropriate subcategories.<br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The <span style="font-weight: bold;"> Yahoo! Directory</span> is helpful when:</span><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><ul class="bb-list" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">You're not sure how to describe what you want</span>, or you're searching for words with multiple meanings. Behind the scenes, our editors build in synonyms, cross-references, and relationships between subjects. For example, when you're ready for your close up, you might search for "casting" to get an audition. Your results include sites from the related Directory category: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Talent and Crew > <a class="bb-url" href="http://dir.yahoo.com/Business_and_Economy/Business_to_Business/Entertainment_and_Media_Production/Talent_and_Crew/Talent_Agencies/">Talent Agencies</a></span> You can browse this list of sites and subcategories, or search for "casting" services just within <span style="font-weight: bold;">Talent Agencies</span>, rather than on the entire Web. This guarantees your results won't refer to another kind of casting, such as plaster or die casting.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">You want a better understanding of the subject</span> you're searching for. For example, search the Directory for "bugs" and you'll see: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Arthropods > <a class="bb-url" href="http://dir.yahoo.com/Society_and_Culture/Food_and_Drink/Eating_Practices/Entomophagy/">Insects</a></span> In this category, you'll find listings for individual creatures from antlions to wasps, along with such topics as <a class="bb-url" href="http://dir.yahoo.com/Society_and_Culture/Food_and_Drink/Eating_Practices/Entomophagy/">entomophagy</a> (insects as food) and <a class="bb-url" href="http://dir.yahoo.com/Science/Biology/Zoology/Animals__Insects__and_Pets/Arthropods/Insects/Pest_Management/">pest management</a>. Web Results for "bugs" alone gives you a much narrower view.</span></li>
</ul><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">You can further your knowledge of almost any subject using our rich categories with extensive links to related information.</span><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The hand-built Yahoo! Directory paired with the technology of Yahoo! Search offers a useful, unified source of online information.</span><br />

Key improvements include the following: </span></div><div> </div><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li><span><b>Importance ranking.</b> The Google Web Directory starts with a collection of websites selected by Open Directory volunteer editors. Google then applies its patented PageRank technology and other factors to rank the sites based on their importance. Horizontal bars, which are displayed next to each web page, indicate Google’s view of the importance of the page. This distinctive approach to ranking web sites enables the highest quality pages to appear first as top results for any Google directory category.</span><br />
<span> <br />
</span> </li>
<li><span><b>Smarter search within directory categories.</b> Google uses the advanced technology that powers its regular web search to learn more about each page listed in its directory. This capability enables users to search deeper within categories and produces more relevant results than any other directory search.<br />
<br />
</span> </li>
<li><span><b>Web search integration.</b> Google's innovative classification technique connects regular Google search results with information in the Google Web Directory. This technology gives users one-click access from regular Google search results to the most relevant hand-selected web pages in the Google directory.<br />
<br />
</span> </li>
<li> <span><b>Clean, uncluttered user interface.</b> The Google Web Directory uses the same no-nonsense, user-friendly interface design that distinguishes the google.com site from other search engine sites. </span> </li>

Try using it to:<br />
</div><div></div><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li><b>Find keywords based on your site content.</b> Instead of entering your own keywords, try using the Website Content option. It lets you enter the URL of your business website, or of any site related to your business. The AdWords system will then scan your page and then suggest relevant keywords. (This feature is available only in <a href="https://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?answer=25633">some</a> languages.) </li>
<li><b>Create new, separate ad groups</b> with similar keywords. We recommend creating several ad groups in each campaign, each with a small, narrowly-focused set of similar keywords. Use the Keyword Tool to discover relevant keywords, then divide them into lists of 5 to 20 similar terms. See examples of ad groups promoting a <a href="https://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?answer=46075">single</a> product or service and <a href="https://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?answer=46074">multiple</a> products or services.</li>
<li><b>Identify negative keywords.</b> The Keyword Tool can show you off-topic keywords that users may be thinking about. Suppose you sell cut flowers and you give the Keyword Tool the keyword 'flowers.' It may suggest the related term 'gardens,' and you may want to add that term to your ad group as a <a href="https://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?answer=63235">negative keyword</a>. That will keep your ad from showing on searches for 'flower gardens' or similar terms. This helps make sure only interested customers see your ads.</li>
<li><b>Find synonyms - or not.</b> The Use synonyms box in the Descriptive words or phrases option is always checked by default. (This means it might suggest 'bed and breakfast' as a synonym for the keyword 'hotel.') If you uncheck the box, the tool will suggest only keywords that contain at least one of the terms that you entered.</li>
<li><b>Specify a language and location.</b> If you're using the Keyword Tool while signed in to your account, you may see an option to tailor results to a particular location and language. If you happen to be targeting Spanish speakers who live in France, make sure you set the Keyword Tool to that language and location.</li>
<li><b>Start broad and then get specific.</b> Try broad terms like 'flowers' in the Keyword Tool first. Then try specific terms like 'red roses' or 'miniature cactus.'<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></li>

In doing so, the tool helps you identify additional advertising opportunities that aren't currently being used in your AdWords ad campaigns. The tool goes one step further by tailoring the keywords and other data (such as the amount of competition for the keyword, the suggested bid, and more) based on your language or country/territory settings.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Based on your URLs, the Search-based Keyword Tool displays a list of relevant user queries that have occurred on Google.com (and on other Google search properties, such as google.co.uk) with some frequency over the past year; these suggestions can be found under the <strong>Keywords</strong> tab, in the <strong>New keywords related to (site)</strong> section. In the <strong>Keywords related to your search</strong> section, you can see a broad list of keyword ideas that are also relevant, but aren't necessarily based on your site. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The keywords are also organized by category. Click any category to expand and view its subcategories. If applicable, you'll also see the keywords organized by brand names.</span></div>CrowdSourcerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08126105972189622297noreply@blogger.com0
