Following are the best tips and tricks you can use as best practice and make sure to stay ahead of your competition. As we say precaution is always better than cure, these tips just serves that purpose.

Optimize every page on your website/blog

Search engine seems to spider every page it can find. So we should definitely be optimizing every part and each page of our website. Homepage should be focusing one primary keyword and two secondary keywords. Similarly, all of the subpages should be targeting one primary keyword and 3-5 secondary keywords at least. Obviously, all of them would be related to same niche market. So all in all, it makes sense and adds value to the optimization process.

Pick appropriate keyword phrases

In most of the cases, keyword analysis is a one time process. Be sure to give it highest attention. Use tools such as overture, wordtracker, google and others. For a detailed keywords analysis, please see http://seocomfort.com/seo-training/10-steps-of-how-to-do-a-professional-keyword-analysis/. This is especially true when you are blogging, as you often write articles and update your blog. So you need to know the direction and which keywords to use.

For doing keyword analysis, we use a spreadsheet and intelligently note all the good keywords. And choose the best ones, after researching and completing keyword analysis. Detailed process is explained in the link above.

Optimizing your Page Titles

The most important step indeed, is to have correct page titles. These are titles that you see on your top browser bar.

It should not be more than 12 words and less than 6 words. Best practice is 9-10 words and around 65 characters overall with spaces.

Keep them relevant too, as when people bookmark your site. They see the same title in their bookmarks. You may like to have your blog name or company name in the title too. For an excellent guide for writing titles and meta tags, please read http://seocomfort.com/seo-training/professional-meta-tag-optimization-guide/

Optimizing your Page Content

Content is king, no doubt about that. But optimized content is king and queen!



Rule of thumb, always write for your audience and make sure to give them something of value. Either the content is technical write up, an article, a service introduction or anything else. When you ensure the concept of giving value to visitors, you end up doing a great job.

When optimizing content for keywords, don’t go overboard. For a website, 3-4% keyword density is good. For blogs, I prefer 2-3% overall for every article. Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword or phrase appears on a web page compared to the total number of words on the page.

Finally, read aloud the content a few times. If it sounds so-so, just lather, rinse, and repeat.

Create an inbound linking strategy

Inbound linking strategy, it’s about how you inter-link your pages of your website/blog.

Just remember a key concept; every major page should be accessible from every page. This would not only help visitors to find the desired information. But spiders, crawlers and bots will be able to better spider your website.

Descriptively labeling your links (aka anchor text) and images (aka alt attributes)

Anchor text is useful for visitors, as they can see the link text and know what they are going to get.

From SEO point of view, search engines do give value to anchor text and you must use primary keywords for labeling your links.

Image alt attributes should be used for the sake of validation. As well as, Google images also use alt attributes to crawl relevant images. I was working on an online dating project and took the pain to label (alt attribute) for each of the image. Fortunately, I’ve received more hits from images search then web search of Google. It was really worth the efforts.

Make sure your site is spider-friendly

The true essence of search engine friendly website is to not use Flash and Javascript as less as possible (one aspect of the game). As Flash and Javascript is not readable by search engines.

However, there are times when you do need Flash content to attract visitors, clients and buyers. If you use Flash, always make your navigation and content with simple html and css.

If its not spiderable, it’d be hard to rank well.

Create Fresh Content

Google, Yahoo, Bing, AOL, Ask and other search engines like and prefers website with fresh content. If you can update regularly, that’s great. As search engine crawlers gives more priority and frequently indexes fresh content with regular updates. This helps in increasing the page rank and it benefits our search engine rankings.

Using blogs or forums are really good way to update content regularly. But if your sole purpose is to get better search engine rankings then don’t start either of them. It needs a lot of consistence, persistence and passion.

If you think you can provide value and have something of interest, then everyone will warmly welcome you.

Do not think that you can trick Search Engines

There are shortcuts but don’t go after them. They usually take you to the black hat (bad) SEO techniques. Those tricks may get you somewhere in short term. But over the long run you are only going to suffer.

Focus on quality and keep working slowly but surely.

Offer something unique of value

SEO is nothing and you will end up failing if you DON’T offer quality. In my opinion, SEO, in a bigger picture works like a catalyst. It speeds up the process. It might be successful, maybe not, so you need to follow the correct direction too. Either it’s a service, product, or article, providing value is the way to succeed.

Keyword analysis is practically the first step towards optimizing your site. It takes time and is extremely tiring at times, but its really worth the effort. Follow the steps properly and you will learn all the technical aspects for doing a professional keyword analysis.

1. As you might have guessed, the very first thing in doing keyword analysis would be asking your friends and family to suggest keywords that they would use to search your website. Paste each of those keywords here, in the text box at this link http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ and see if some of that keyword delivers some results with some word count. This tool is not accurate though it gives a good guess about either the keywords are searched in real world or not. As friends and family suggests good keywords but sometimes, they are really poor too. So you need to check if its worth noting them down or not, and this tool help you in making a decision.

2. Now you have a list of words that you can use for further research. For a firm keyword analysis, go to http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/ . You can search several good long tail keywords there by entering your main niche keyword. This is a very good tool. Enter all the keywords you can possibly think of for your niche market. Just randomly think about your niche market, see your competitors, which keywords are they using and fill them out here. This tool again is not an accurate count of traffic. But what it tells you is for example, if some keywords have a word count of 400, technically it means that this keyword receives around 400 visitors/ 90 days from search engine. However, from my personal experience, that 400 count is just an idea. It tells you that the traffic is quite good and you can go ahead for optimizing your site using this keyword.

3. Create a new excel sheet. Make two columns initially, column A namely Keywords and column B as Search Count.

4. Paste all of the related entries from step two in the excel sheet. Both the keywords and the search count.

5. Now format the color of all those keywords that looks interesting to you, to orange color (or any other).

6. Add one more column to excel sheet, that is column C namely Google Competition.

7. Go to Google.com, not to google.com.au or any other extension. Type each keyword from the excel sheet as it is. And see the google competition/total number of competitors and note it down in to the respective C columns.

8. Congratulations, you are now done with most of the leg work. You just need to start analyzing now. How? Glad, you asked. See the keyword, its word count and competition. Find the keywords that have lowest number of competition, highest number of word count and sounds like a good keyword for your niche market.

9. SEO Professionals go beyond this and classify each keyword in to an article keyword, link keyword or submission keyword. This classification helps on the long term, so while doing an article marketing campaign you know which keywords to write on and target. Same goes with link building and directory submissions.

10. Are you willing to spend more time on keyword analysis to make sure you select the profitable keywords for your business? Go ahead and use all the following tools given below. They are all free and widely used by SEO professionals.

Tools For Complete Keyword Analysis

Following are some more helpful and excellent tools, that you can explore easily and extract good keywords. After doing that, the steps remain the same as we’ve seen above. Finally, you will have an excellent excel sheet that will always help you for making your optimization stratagies.

3. Always have an electronic portfolio with you. Offer that with professional business photo and other photographs of your company to media. It’d definitely help in putting a professional image out to the press.

4. Post industry news, become an authority. Going through regularly from trade publications and posting summary news will also help. Many consumers are looking for the same.

5. Post White Papers, about any problem you see in your industry and its logical as well as proposed solution.

6. Shooting an email to media contacts and asking them to allow you for letting them know about your new content. Letting them know that it might interest them will usually positively workout. You can meet a small group of media persons at dinner and discuss with them the future of company, its growth expectation and directions too. Sometimes, that can do wonders!

7. You maybe are working as an IT company or a financial consultancy company. No matter what niche it is, you should get industry experts to visit your site/ your work. Collecting links industry sites, for example trade associations, works out well on long run.

8. Visit high quality websites in your niche market. Analyze their visitor loyalty, traffic, page rank and compare them with your websites. See which niche markets are good for you to advertise in, and then buy banner ads. Keep a balance between traffic and highly targeted visitors. So be very savvy on choosing the websites for buying banner ads.

1. Post free articles at your site, written by you or others.

2. Writing well researched and detailed posts about your niche topics (about current big things going on) that contain useful information for others to get started in the same field with ease.

3. Offer anybody to reprint your articles, as far as they keep your author bio or resource box at the end of article as it is. It works like a concept of compound interest!

4. Consistency always brings results. Publishing an e-mail newsletter weekly, bi-weekly or monthly is a great way to represent you as an expert. The more the people trust you and your content, the more the chances you have to sell your items. You can always monetize newsletters with sponsored ads and links to support your campaign.

5. Grab the attention of the visitor by offering a tip of the day, which should daily change. It would be a great attention grabber if blended nicely above the folder (top part of website).

6. People love to judge themselves, to know how intelligent they actually are. Prepare some great tests for your niche targeted people and people will follow.

7. Incentivize your website – You should make sure you give something valuable to every visitor who goes the extra mile and fills a short survey, answer a question (a great way to take a poll or survey), cast a vote, take a quiz, or give you a testimonial that you can use in your marketing. Incentivizing your attachment with visitors/clients will get you better response.

8. Let your visitors read what you want them to and surf how you want them to. While designing a website, keep asking yourself a question on every step “What would I do next if I am a visitor here? Follow your answer and optimize usability accordingly .You can easily guide your traffic to read an article, buy a product, take a quiz, or subscribe to your free “tip of the day.” Your wish!

9. You always like something which offers clear guidelines, no matter if that is a blog, website or a product. Same is the case with your readers, they are humans too! – Offer clarity in everything -

10. Make your visitors star of the show and see how they follow your likes and dislikes. You can let them feel star of the show by calling them with their name, either in newsletters, emails, blog posts, or while contributors mention.

11. Visitors should not leave your site before bookmarking it. For achieving that, you need to offer “add to bookmark” buttons at the most hot spots of your website and be sure to have your fav.icon to help your visitors recognize your site from the hundreds of bookmarks they have.

12. Think like an entrepreneur on every step. Be smart, don’t just work yourself but let your visitors do it for you in disguise. Have “Tell a Friend” widget on your blog or website. It allow your well wishers (visitors) to tell their friends about what they like about your site. Promote the widget throughout your blog via internal linking. . If they refer you to a friend, offer them a freebie, like a list of 25 tips on how to solve a problem, or a special report or White Paper. With proper attention, he can bring even more good traffic and the marketing chain continues.

13. If you are busy, so are others, if you are smart then so are others. Pre-decide the topics you’ll be writing about in the coming week with titles. Tell them about it —survey results, new articles, research, new products or services, etc. It will help you to get more “targeted” traffic, who is more interested in your call to actions.

14. Give your visitors personal attention to turn them in to customers. If they have an inquiry, answer all of those via email.

15. Contests and Giveaways – A good way to attract educated traffic. Similarly, have something to offer to your contributors and subscribers. Just informing them about the current open deals and coupons in your niche would be enough to motivate them.

16. If you publish an ezine, make all back issues available at your site, or by auto-responder. Keep it organized.

17. Providing an index or search function that explains where visitors can find articles on various topics in your ezine greatly enhances the interest of the visitor.

Every one loves to earn money with freedom. And most of them desire to work creatively too. I’ve heard so many people wishing to be able to work from their home, with their own style and no boss. To most of them, it sounds too good to be true. But think again, all of that is really possible now. With the evolvement of top freelancing sites such as

Elance.com
vWorker.com
Guru.com
ODesk.com
GetAFreelancer.com

It’s a reality now. You can sit at your home and work when you want to work. With money, you also get the opportunity to select the project that excites you and fits your expertise.

Having said that, most of the IT guys face difficulties winning projects and they eventually give up freelancing. Yes, you need strong communication skills to thrive in freelancing as a career.

Why? Glad, you asked. While freelancing is mouth watering, it comes with some difficulties too. When you’re freelancing from these freelance networks, you are most probably far away from the buyers. You cannot meet them or talk in person.

For that reason, your strongest selling point is your communication skills. That completely portrays your image in front of the client. And fortunately there are ways to enhance and improve specific communication skills that can help you win projects.

Understand the Values

Freelancing is mutually beneficial for both buyers and sellers. But buyers have a specific mindset, they need something and you have to understand them well. Obviously, they are hiring professionals from freelance networks for a reason. As nowadays, it’s more handy, reliable and cheap for them.

Understand Freelancing Mindset

Following are the key pointers that can help you win or lose the project. As I said earlier, your proposal and your write-up is your image or maybe your company’s image.

• High Quality Work
• Moderate Price
• Amazing Responsiveness
• Expertise in your Niche Market
• Overall Professionalism
• Scheduling Work Properly

Judge yourself personally for each of the given criteria above. You must be lacking somewhere. Fortunately or unfortunately, you can be successful at freelancing only when you have a good mixture of the required mindset.

Freelancers Confusion

From my personal experience, most of the freelancers are confused about either to act as an individual or a company. My suggestion would be don’t fake it. Act as who you are, if you are an individual then let your proposal reflect that. And if you’re a part of a company then show that from your writing.

Both ways has its own advantage and disadvantage but not faking it helps you to stay focused. The best about contacting as Individuals I like is you can easily personalize with the client.

Writing the Proposal

Most people who 99% of the times lose the bids are those who never greet buyers warmly. Worst of all is these people make a proposal template and just keeping send them as it is to buyers or with very rare modifications.

No, you can never expect to win projects like that. Projects are posted by real people and you’ll have to win their heart and mind.

Understand Project Requirements

It’s surprising to see how many times I’ve confused myself with simple project requirements. The reason can be anything, from hectic schedule to a few hours sleep. All we should know is whatever the reason maybe, that little mistake can completely destroy your image for the buyer. I’ve solved that problem by reading project requirements at least two times.

Learn to be Humble

Freelancers are good people; they are usually more creative, more intelligent and are hungrier for learning and staying in touch with latest happenings. But here we are talking about being humble and remember, when you are writing, your writing speaks.

Some people never words such as please, kindly, thank you, best regards, warm welcome and so on. These are the words that actually add humbleness to your proposal. You never know, the buyer maybe already upset and your pitch may hurt him hard. So please be careful about that.

Why Choose You

Why choose you? is one of the questions every employer asks you or themselves. You definitely should have some high quality pros over others. Those must be relevant to the job and you should sell them to the buyer.

From my personal experience, even sharing a portfolio or maybe links of a dozen of websites (if you’re an IT guy) you’ve made doesn’t work really well. Imagine the traditional hiring process, where the employer screens your resume and call you for an interview based on your resume.

The Online World’s Changing

Freelancers need to go a step further here. In online world, a CV is losing its importance and a blog is taking its place instead. Yes, it’s more sellable and it’s better than a CV from all perspectives.

For example, let me share my personal story here…

Lots of my friends suggested taking a look at Elance, a freelancing network. I did. They asked me to register and start working there. Now here is the tricky point, I registered and submitted a proposal to one of website design projects I liked. But it was awarded to someone else.

I thought long and hard about the reason for why someone else got selected instead of me. The obvious reason was he had excellent ratings and a proven track record of 4 years at Elance.

After around 45 minutes, one more project seemed to be very interesting to me. But unfortunately, he clearly mentioned that he won’t entertain anyone who has less than 10 projects completed or a feedback of less than 4.5 rating at Elance.

Yes, that was disappointing but not the end of life. I did not give up and submitted a proposal after keen evaluation. I won the bid and successfully completed that project too with a 5 rating.

How? It was very easy. I asked myself why he’d choose me? And what are my strong points? Since it was a search engine optimization project and I also blog on SEO so it clearly was my strong point. Secondly, I shared my other freelancing profiles. With that, a well written proposal, asking about the confirmation of project requirements worked really well.

Later, with more such experiences, I learned the importance of blogging. Apart from learning, enhancing your knowledge or direct advertising money incentives, there is more to it.

Last few words

Please feel the positivity, listen to the positive vibes and be happy. At times, getting first few jobs via freelancing is extremely irritating process. Bear it and the good will follow. Don’t give up, it may take a few dozen before it starts to work out for you. So just hold on your horses and keep at it. As time and efforts can help you achieve anything.

No matter if you are a search engine optimizer, a designer or even a lawyer. When you are working, you need passion, determination, enthusiasm and a way for believing in positivity. If you have the skills but you don’t act, you will always be complaining.

We see many successful people and wish to be like them. In reality, wanna-be guy remains wanna-be all his life. On the contrary, you can be a successful person too. The definition of success maybe different for everyone but the path to get it is always the same (using fair means).

Power of Taking Actions

Action, yes, that is the golden word which gets us to thinking, learning, planning and practically doing it. We pursue education but the real essence of education is to learn how to take action.

Fortunately, most of us understand the value of taking action. But very few of us actually take action in doing anything. It could be earning more money, having a well known business, a good family, fantastic education background or an extremely healthy personality.

Success Hurdles

So what stops us? We often try to take actions all at once. We see someone, get inspired and want to be like them overnight. That doesn’t happen.

“A journey of thousand miles begins with the first single step.”

Start taking positive steps and positive actions from today.

When you take a single step every day with focus, planning, determination and passion, you will surely succeed. For some success may show up early, for some it may come late but you will no longer be wanna-be.

Even Rome was not built in a day. Want to start a new business? Want to buy something eagerly? Really excited to get highly skilled in your profession? Imagine, plan and take steps right away.

You cannot wait for a perfect situation. Ideal is nothing, but as you work and learn, you get better and better. Some people learn from failures all the time, they are really good people. But some people learn from other failures and their actions, they are the best.

10 Steps from Action to Success

1. Focus on what do you actually desire
2. See yourself passing through that desire, feel the goodness.
3. Understand the complications and set a long term goal
4. Have a weekly, monthly and yearly plan
5. Act everyday to reach weekly goals
6. Cross check your plans and your actions every month
7. Learn from what is working and what’s not working
8. Tweak plans, learn from others mistake
9. Be patient, keep yourself happy, and wait till you reach the goal
10. Now, you’ve achieved your desire. Celebrate it!

• How to Think of Ideas and turn them in to Business? (0)

Favorable or damaging, the SEO trends are evolving with the passage of time. Much of what is important now for the SEO is liable to become irrelevant soon. For the SEOs it is valuable to stay up-to-date and on the top of the rapidly changing online world. Given below are a few general concepts, suggestions and ideas of the SEO Consultants regarding 2011.

Content is King

Content the greatest probability of remaining the “King”. Strategic content is the most effective for any website’s upward or downward trend in the search engine. Although time consuming, unique content, gives any website the best chance of survival. Relevant content will always remain the first priority not just for the target audience but also for the search engines.

Inbound Links

Quality inbound links determine the ranking for the web pages. A link exchange campaign happens to be one the most effective of internet marketing strategies and although it will remain to be so however, many are of the opinion that, considering the recent search engine trends, its significance might decline a little in 2011.

Social Bookmarking and Social Networking

Social bookmarking has started a new era in the e-world and will most likely be on its peak in 2011. Web marketers should continue to use social bookmarking and social networking techniques for improving business.

Reciprocal Linking

Many SEOs think that reciprocal linking will lose its value in 2011… why? Link exchange will be done with industry related and well reputed websites only.

Click Fraud

With new con artists and fraudsters appearing online everyday, internet fraud protection has become the most debated topic in internet history. Fraud over the internet offers no boundaries and its anonymity has left many wondering and afraid. Click fraud is therefore likely to remain as a major issue in 2011.

Alt Tags and Image Reading

Alt tags will not be completely done away with. There are however, more chances of the introduction of some new system which will be able to read images and might actually decrease the rate of keyword stuffing. If, for instance, this does not happen then Alt tags will be used as they at the present. There is also a possibility that Alt tags will lose its restriction on the use of limited keywords.

Geo Targeting

Geo Targeting will help all kinds of businesses to get the best return on investment. It will help to precisely find each and every detail. Geo Targeting maps & reports will help you find where visitors are coming from. Running billboard in California? You will be able to compare date ranges to see the impact of traffic on your site. Every serious business will consider this method of analysis.

Google Code

Google Code is a site of Google for external developers who are interested in Google related development. It is the place where people submit free source codes and a list of Google API services. If Google continues to handle these incentives successfully then the future of SEO in 2011 will be very bright. These developments will have a direct affect on SEO.

Backlinks

Back links will become more valuable in 2011 but there are chances of some additional algorithms being added to the back link concept. In case this happens, things will get more complicated. However, the rate of spammers will decrease and highly competitive and deserving results may become visible.

User Voted Search Engines

Majority agrees that there will be a huge competition in 2011 in the search engines for popular keywords. This will make it difficult for small business owners or individuals to rank well for certain desirable keywords. This seems to be the second most popular way after social bookmarking. Already a dozen of user voted search engines have been launched; these offer the quality service providers with an opportunity to express their business and services without facing much competition.

Affiliate Networking

Affiliate Networking will be used more heavily in 2011 by a certain number of people. By the end of 2011 affiliate networking will reach its peak. Companies will prefer working through affiliate networks as this will provide them with an opportunity to easily advertise and sell their products.

Pay Per Click (PPC)

The trend of PPC marketing might increase with time but it will become costly. Only big companies would be able to afford PPC. Companies will be using GEO targeting and some more methods to ensure the best ROI. Pay per Click marketing will definitely prove to be as an asset and it may affect the methods of search engine optimization.

Conclusion: Future of Search Engine Optimization

SEO is going to be more and more popular in coming years. The way we implement SEO might change but it will not loose its importance.

Have you seen an intro of any movie? It gives you an idea about movie topic. Meta tags works almost the same way. It provides detailed information about the site, its content and topics. Humans don’t see meta tags except title, which is a part of it. This piece of information is especially for crawlers/spiders/bots/browsers, found under the <head> section of a website.

Benefit of Optimized Meta Tags

Optimized Meta Tags can get your site on top of many search engines for that particular Meta-Tag Keyword. However, no doubt its one of the major steps, there are more do’s and don’ts. Having said that, it works pretty well for long tail keywords (highly targeted long keywords)

Keep in Mind

1. Know the approximate word count limits for optimizing title, description and keywords. Each has its own preferred word counts which all of the best SEO Consultants follow.
2. Look natural! You are optimizing, not stuffing, so let your Meta tags be meaningful and should make sense to real visitors.

Character Count for Title – Description – Keywords:

After interviewing many SEO Consultants, following is the most followed word count.
• Title Tag: 8-10 words or 60 -70 characters with spaces.
• Keyword Tag: 2 major keywords and 1-3 minor keywords.
• Description Tag: 150 -250 characters with spaces per page.

Keywords Count for Title – Description – Keywords

• Title: 1 Time
• Keyword: 2 Times
• Description: 3-4 Times with Synonyms

Example of Meta Tags – Good – Average – Best

• Good: “Meta Tag Optimization Secrets by Search Engine Optimizer”
• Average: “Professional Meta Tag Optimization”
• Bad: “Meta – Tags: Know all about meta tags | Meta Tag Guide”

Optimization Importance

Without proper optimization of MT, you simply cannot rank well for competitor search terms. If you like to get free traffic, organic traffic for targeted keywords, you’ll have to learn the basics of search engine optimization. I cannot emphasize more on its importance, you can get a top 10 ranking in Google by following the proper guidelines and playing with it a bit, breaking the rules and see how that works!

I Love Keyword Stuffing huh?

That’s what you say? No way!
• Pros:
1. Satisfaction.
• Cons:
1. Always find your pages at the end of search engine result pages (SERP) for that keyword.
2. Loose your loyal visitors you get from social bookmarking or social networking.

Never Do This

Having a copy of someone else optimized meta tags in your own website is going to terribly harm you. That’s surely a no-no. Reason one, you can get punished for copying their tags. Two, you will lose you current rankings. Three, even a webmaster doesn’t use same Meta tags for a different page of that same website. Reason? Basically, search engine think of those pages as same duplicate entries and omits other pages with same titles and only shows one instance of it in SERP.

Do a Trick

This can help you save a long time on deciding which style of Meta tags to write. Tip is to search exact keywords on Google and see the meta tags of those highly ranked sites, learn from them. Just a reminder, some sites with little less optimized tags will rank high if they are linked with quality sites.

Latest Semantic Indexing Concept

LSI stands for Latest Semantic Indexing, an unpopular concept that massively helps you in increasing your chances to rank well. Basically, it’s about using your keywords with synonyms and the words related to your main website niche market. In my experience this works pretty well especially with Google.

Conclusion

In a nutshell, using meaningful meta tags with keywords optimization helps you get the most. Hope this article helped you gain an insight on professional Meta tags optimization.

Your “success” definition for life must be somewhere around the points mentioned below. Fortunately, blogging gives us everything it takes to be happy, earn money, respect and even friends & fans.

• Money
• Skills
• Respect
• Friends
• Fans
• Being Happy

Money Factor

I had nothing but a hope when I started blogging, not even enough knowledge nor a single penny to invest. Having a free blog over blogger.com was a big motivation those days. No domain charges, no hosting charges and no web design costs involved. Even with that, I made good chunk of money through Google Adsense from the only blog I had. I used to write reviews, how to do stuff and about other technical things. Soon after I realized, blogging is something I really like. And that I’d have to earn my living through this; that is the only way I can invest my time over this.

Whoever said money can’t buy happiness simply didn’t know where to go shopping.

Writing Skills and Knowledge

Even if you are writing about your niche market, in which you have sound knowledge about everything. Getting it all written makes you think twice and the “online research” for the authenticity of your words makes you more skilled than ever. You seem to learn new things every day about your business or niche market as well as about others.

Beautifully crafted words have the power to captivate the mind of anybody.A sweet-tongued man is loved by one and all. Audience is always attracted towards those who can speak efficiently and effectively.

Respect and Appreciation

The person who does work is the person who earns respect, in my opinion. If any one of you knows about Steve Jobs, you may have deep respect for him. Why? It’s about how he did great work always. From awesome presentations to his work ethics and from being a poor man to becoming multi millionaire; he did real smart work to come up to this level. Great work deserves respect. Blogging is purely about sharing your skills, your perspective over something and interacting with people. Whatever the topic may be, if you enjoy talking about it and have passion doing so, you’d be highly respected as yourself. People would look up to you as a source of inspiration.

The first duty of love is to listen.

Friends and Buddies

People have natural tendency to make friends. Online networking is probably the easiest, fastest and healthiest form of contacting people. When you have a blog, you do make comments on other blogs. Either it be from reading their blogs and writing your views as comments or asking questions. All of this shapes up in a good friendship over some span of time. The best thing is all of your friends will belong to the same kind of online business. It provides you with more opportunities to collect high quality skills as well.

A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.

Fans and Blogging Lovers

You may be really loving the work you do and are enough determined and passionate about it. So much so that you don’t even realize your skills and the high quality work you can do. Since you’ve been with the same thing for a couple of years, you may believe it is damn easy. But it isn’t for rest of those who just started out. You impress people with your work, you attract them to you. You literally make thousands of friends and fans just by writing content. I’d love to have fans, really

Tenderness is the repose of Passion

Happy Blogging

To me, success and happiness is a part of life. I won’t say money is success or some other specific thing. It is a blend of all the good things a person desires. Blogging gives you everything you need to be happy. Blogging only asks for hard work in return. People with determination, passion and keen interest find hard work easy to do.

Just think how happy you would be if you lost everything you have right now, and then got it back again.

A few thoughts…

It takes time to be familiar with blogging and different blogging platforms. Things such as the blogging routine, the amount of searching you do for different topics, writing them all in a flow and doing it regularly takes a lot of patience. It isn’t so easy but it’s very rewarding as well. My life would have been empty without blogging; it even works as a self improvement tool for me. Hope you can make the most of blogging as well. Am thankful to all the bloggers for contributing their most and trust me you all deserve salutes for doing the same.

You can do it, if you believe you can.

Optimization of Web Sites

We always learn new and different concepts, terminologies and ways to promote our site/blogs to the next level it deserves. Basically SEOing it, but have you ever noted down the benefits behind optimization? No? Glad, you said no! I did the leg work for you. Hope you enjoy reading.

Improved Traffic

Proper research before starting to work on a project rewards you with superior traffic or targeted traffic. The research in my opinion starts from fighting (researching) with keywords and competitor analysis.

High Authority

If you keep an eye on the best SEO practices and implement different techniques, it definitely helps you achieve higher authority. SEO includes off page optimization and that’s all about getting votes/links/authority to your site.

Better Search

Users enjoy staying at your website, only if the website is optimized well. It increases the overall visitor satisfaction from the usability perspective. A site with better search and usability options help you to keep your clients happy. Eventually, “on page” SEO is concerned with user experience and search convenience.

Better Click Through Rate

You sometimes wonder why the site is getting low CTR, because either the site is over-optimized or under-optimized. The key to successful optimization and better CTR is keeping balance between the amount of content, keywords in content, links, meta tags and emphasizing html codes for example bold, italic, strong, em and such. You do it with the right proportion (never disclosed! – experience it) and you win!

High Page Rank

The most well known SEO benefit is increase in page rank. Most of the newbie’s are dying to get page rank. Because pagerank alone can help you sell links and earn a healthy amount of income every month. Think of page rank as votes from users. The users are websites and votes are links. The more the quality ones the better, it has its own deep steep learning curve to understand how page rank works and ways to get better page rank.

High Customer Satisfaction

As a psychological effect, a buyer feels more comfortable working with reliable sellers, those who are available. Same is the case with SEOing, it increases organic availability (top rankings in SERP organically) via targeted keywords. And customers are always happy and satisfied, to see your company ranking well in SERP. They have a reason to trust you.

Easy Expansion

Professional SEO services help you set a solid ground to build upon. In future, if you decide to expand the services in your field, you can easily do so. Reap the SEO benefits by getting direct organic traffic without waiting any longer.

Massive Marketing

The coding, design and usability overall helps you do a proper “on page” job. That helps you too while doing off page optimization, a part of SEO, to create the buzz word about your services, products or any thing to which you want to grab attention to. Link baiting is one of the concepts.

High Return on Investment

SEO returns targeted traffic instead of blind traffic and better click through rate. With the best from both worlds, it helps you earn a high ROI.

High Sales

Higher targeted traffic will definitely increase sales and call to action. I am just taking things deep down, to understand the massive benefits involved in researching, organizing and implementing SEO smartly.

Cost effective

Already investing in adwords? Very expensive! Lean on the organic side of search engines. SEO can easily help you gain a steady flow of targeted traffic.

Long Term Benefits

The rewards are endless as far as you move ahead ethically. Even an unintentional black hat or gray hat technique can hurt you hard. I DO NOT recommend using automatic ways that most often harms more in long term.

Highly Compatible

The basic work of an SEO Consultant is to check the back-end coding of a website, depends on the package you selected. To see either the code is written properly and does work on all modern browsers. Most good SEO companies ensure all the pages and files are validating on standards. So you are sure your site is based on the best known standards.

Easily Crawlable

As most of the man likes to see beautiful girls, similarly most of the SE bots like to crawl SEO’ed websites. SE bots can easily crawl and index such websites. Optimized sites have a plus point of getting high rankings in search engine result page (SERP).

Builds Trust

Many people have a lot of passion, enthusiasm and determination to do something big online. It can be expanding e-business, increase in sales or high amount of traffic. Search engine optimization helps you do the same with the right approach. You reach your target market the legal way!

Conclusion

The benefits of SEO prove that it’s good for your website/blog/business health. Also, it is not rocket science! – Its just your choice to either learn more about the field or hand over everything to an experienced optimizer.

Question for you!
