Unfinished web optimizing business

There are some things that I have yet to finish for the week, and that concerns web optimizing a lot. It's on my job as a virtual assistant to one of my friends Daniel, who hired me for this position, and these things are needed before he returns on Monday:

1. Blog entries (both GSeo and Danlew)
2. Blog comments (both GSeo and Danlew)
3. Forum posting
4. Adding videos
5. Thumbnail additions to every Danlew blog post
6. News URL submissions
7. Creating multiple accounts
8. Etc.

Since he's away, I will be also away in just hours away after I sleep for the All Saint's Day, a celebration observed for our faithful departed. Since tomorrow's Sunday, I think I will have myself a day off in my search optimizing job as a virtual assistant.

Cheers!

A complete idiot on site crawling

I saw a post on Digitalpoint about a topic where he is struggling to make his site crawled and indexed to Google, Yahoo and Bing. Although he had done so many link building attempts like submission to social bookmarking sites, article directories, etc., for a long time, just to increase more traffic, but sad to say his site was not indexed. He's a complete idiot which I know he made one simple mistake, and that is he don't know how to index it, and it's just simple for me by going to Google Webmaster Tools and verify your site using any of the two verification methods.

A long struggle it is...without asking question earlier then today. How poor he is, and his search optimizing performance is a complete useless occasion.

Which domain name is better for SEO?

If you are about to find out which SEO domain ending extension is much better for our site? Is it .COM? .NET? .ORG? .BIZ? .ME? or anything else? We'll the truth is, the bes one is the firs one which is .COM? Why?

COM means communication, and it was mostly used by any webmaster here in the search engine world. Targeted visitors are always relying mostly on .COM, as it reaches out a good image both to you and your site. But I agree that all of them have the same terms in search optimizing, and there's nothing wrong to use any domain extension given here, but I would rather say .COM is the best.

SEO tools for rank checking in other countries

If you want to determine some of the rankings of other sites from other countries, you need some tools to support your answer and to determine their page ranks as well. Here are some of the tools I have known, which I've found it on DigitalPoint.

1. SEOSerp.com
2. Position Checker
3. SEOSpiderMonkey.com
4. SearchEngineGenie.com
5. Google sites with exact country extensions

Lots of them are sharing about this, and I am astonished with what they share about page rankings from other countries. Most of them are getting lots of feedbacks for using any of these sites for international rankings only. Good thing that some page checkers like these are very useful.

No-follow links really work for me

When I do SEO on no-follow forums like DreamTeamMoney and TalkGold, it seems that the traffic is working for me. Although it will not change my SERPS, but the important for me is traffic which I will gain lots of visitors there and to promote my site for good. This is a strategy in which link builders are hired to put signature links for their client's site in the forum, and every post count. If the visitor will try to click your signature link in the forum, you will gain lots of traffic, not link juice. This is really important in search optimizing, even it's no-follow.

Identify your quality link criteria

If you are doing some link building strategies out there as web optimization is concern, some certain things you need to identify your quality link criteria are the following:

1. Google Page Rank
2. Backlinks
3. Page crawl
4. Content copying
5. Traffic
6. Internet Protocol Address
7. Visual checking
8. Do-follow or no-follow attribute
9. Keywords
10. And many more!

These are the criteria which concerns about search optimization, which you wanna monitor your site in this matter. It will determine if you're winning or losing your motivation.

Top 5 tips to increase web traffic

Do you want your site to increase web traffic daily, over and over again? Do you want to gain lots of visitors and clients to comment with your blog posts? Or do you want your revenue or sales to be increased through your advertisements? Here are the simple five web optimizing steps you will ever face:

1. Extensive keyword research
2. Original and optimized content or article.
3. Web page optimization
4. Article syndication
5. Social bookmarking

Can pagerank be decreased?

If you are managing a website or a blog, will your page rank have a chance to be decreased? The answer will be yes, because it depends on the performance of your site on how well did you manage it, or should I say...how well did you update your website? These are the certain things that your site's page rank can be decreased:

1. Not updating recently.
2. No time for SEO.
3. Poor time management and control.
4. Site's content is ugly.
5. No improvement of templates and scripts.

Search optimizing really concerns about this, and it is where your performance relies on the page rank whether it decreases or not.

Doing SEO at nighttime?

Are you working overtime for SEO? Are you sacrificing your own self just to maintain your site's rank, even at nighttime? We'll for me, I'm already experienced doing that for months, until now I'm on it. Here are the few things we need when we do SEO at nighttime.

1. Take a shower first before do some optimizing.
2. To save energy and turning off the lights, buy a glowing keyboard which you can see while you're typing overnight.
3. Listen to some music which is so exciting, but not sleepy as you are working. This may keep your motivation alive.
4. If you have a rubbing alcohol, gently rub it on your body, especially your back.
5. Rest your eyes every 30 minutes to 1 hour, so that your eyesight won't be damaged easily.

This is where we work overnight for search optimizing, and it will help you a lot.

Virtual assistants needed for SEO

My friend Daniel is looking to hire virtual assistants who can do search optimizing in a daily basis, with no exact timeframe and stable compensation. I have already been a virtual assistant with him a long time ago, and I earn money from him for updating his blogs, forums, articles, comments, etc.
Here are the things which he need:

1. Forum posting
2. Blog posting and commenting
3. Adding videos
4. Article posting
5. News submissions
6. Link building in other sites

This guy is really gonna heat things up for his site, and he needs more SEO assistants like me!

Setting my own goal on search optimizing

If I want to set up my own goal in search optimizing, you have to jot it down on your notebook or to your notepad as well. We'll for me, here are my own goal setting for my own in search optimizing:

1. To include my site on the top search listings in Google, Yahoo and Bing.
2. To have at least 10,000 do-follow backlinks on different do-follow sites.
3. To earn revenue and sales daily on multiple income streams like Clickbank, Amazon, CJ, etc.
4. To make my videos popular and gaining millions of hits on Youtube, Veoh, etc.
5. To have a meaningful and flexible life both on SEO and personal.

What could be your goal setting in life in terms of search optimizing? It's time to create your own!

No more client additions on DigitalPoint

Since I'm tired of handling more clients in DigitalPoint, I'm only down to two permanent clients only. These two permanent clients, whose names will not be revealed which I will make it only a secret will give me a good and stable income permanently or even, forever. Both of them are more on search and web optimizing, blogging and other sideline jobs. Since search optimizing is my passion, both discussing and performing, it's a great advantage for them to have me as their permanent clients, they would be successful in their websites and blogs, while me is earning full pack of money for my financial needs. I just want my time to be flexible enough both for my work and leisure, that's all. I can also focus to do SEO for my own blog if only have spare time.

Another forum posting task achieved

Finally, after two weeks of juicing up my client's links to various forums about web hosting, I have finished the task today. My client Narendra from India, who is looking for a link builder like me, gave me an advanced payment two weeks ago, which is $21 for 250 posts. It's been difficult at the first place, because I was obliged to post around 250 at HostingDiscussions.com. After how many posts I've achieved, my signature link was removed and my posts cannot be edited again for signature links.

What I have planned is to join various web hosting forums which the links may last longer. I have submitted the report to my client after less than two weeks only, because web hosting is a difficult topic you know. At least, my search optimizing job has finally completed and he will be impressed when he read my spreadsheet report.

Kaboodle still updates me

A shopping bookmark named Kaboodle still updates me through e-mail. On my previous post, Kaboodle cancelled my account due to some over submissions of my products in a day, which I'm in a hurry to accomplish this for my own client. I really don't know why they're still updating on me. Am I still subscribed to them, as part of their shopping bookmark site even removed? Or they have reactivated my account?

I'm pretty sure that when I login to Kaboodle, still my account was not found but my e-mail was stored in their database. If they will send news and updates, I will be included in their mass e-mails to send them some of their updates. Anyway, Kaboodle is still a good shopping bookmark site, good for web optimizing, but no match to StyleHive.

E-mail marketing does not concern SEO

If you are using one of the e-mail marketing programs like Aweber, you don't expect that your site will gain it's rank or getting juiced up it's link. Take note that search optimization can be only done through link building sources which the links may last longer, but e-mail marketing is not along with contextual advertising.

The only thing you can possibly gain is the traffic and potentially revenue from your income streams like Clickbank, Amazon, CJ, etc. E-mail marketing is not an SEO technique, but rather it only gives you web traffic and potential sales. You are sending private messages in a mass way to your contacts or random e-mails, so it does not affect your SEO rankings.

Does it affect SEO on copyright date?

Source: http://www.ask-kalena.com/uncategorized/q-and-a-does-a-copyright-date-on-a-web-site-affect-seo/

In the source above, Amy just asked a question on Kalena about the copyright date would affect search optimizing. She asked how much does a copyright date affects the SEO? If your copyright date is updated, then your content is also updated, or an outdated copyright date could mean your content is outdated too.

Kalena told Amy that a copyright date has no impact on search optimizing, which anyone can add their own copyright date using the HTML format coded on the comment box, whether the date is accurate or not. For fuller understanding, visit the source link above.

The new design of Danlew SEO blog

I want you take a look at one of the most amazing designed SEO blogs ever, and it has been designed by a real professional like no other. My friend Daniel wants his blog to compete in the SEO world, which of course his design is very unique and customized. I can't believe how he did it, by only using WordPress blog?

http://www.danlew.com

He said that it was practically designed through the use of advanced HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language). I don't know how his designer did that, and it was really big! I was astonished of his blog and pretty sure I'm going to comment on his posts there, and as a friend, it's a little help to make his site better than any other ones. Now he can do some search optimizing on his own professional blog and for sure, visitors will be attracted.

A new SEO e-book finally launched!

Hello guys!

My friend Daniel has launched his own SEO e-book, which is called "SEO Revenge". This 40 page e-book will guide you and talk about SEO, link building, web optimizing, keyword research and many more. And guess what, there are many screenshots there in order for you to be guided step-by-step in any process. You will receive this e-book in a PDF format.

However, this is not a basic one, but in only goes in-depth on how we generate traffic, search optimizing, and more SEO! This will only cost you $9.95! Here's the link below:

Market your own SEO service

If you're rendering your own SEO service and you want to spread it throughout the entire internet, then you need to market it. But how? Since search optimizing is one of the common things that webmasters and bloggers are doing to improve their own website, they can market it through:

1. Posting threads in forums in an appropriate section.
2. Signature links on forums or profile/avatar.
3. Classified ad posting
4. Custom video on Youtube, Veoh, etc.
5. Social networks like Friendster, Facebook, etc.

There are lots of ways to market your own SEO service, but these five tips are the basic ones.

Maximize your internal link strategy

If we're talking about internal links, we say that there are links within your blog or website. To maximize them, you must know what could be the best topic for your content to optimize it. SEO is one of the things that we should be doing in order to increase our internal links strategy. Like for example, if we use keywords and attach a link there, that's what we call internal link on which you link them within your blog or website. On the other hand, if we say external links, they are outside links attached in your blog or website. Internal links are very rare in terms of search optimizing, and so far there are many of the webmasters who are successful on it.

Google is still #1 on SEO!

When we are performing SEO on our website, who knows which search engine is the most being used by millions of searchers worldwide, especially those who are monitoring their site's performance, and only Google does it's best. Why?

Google has many tools that relates in webmaster, advertising, publishing, keyword search, trends and much more. As of today, Google is still #1 in search engines, followed by Yahoo, Bing and Ask respectively.

By means of monitoring your search optimizing performance for your site, webmasters always rely on Google by means of page rank, indexed pages, link domains, etc. No one will beat Google Adsense for sure, especially in terms of search and web optimizing.

Dealing of link exchanges

If you are going to link exchange with other bloggers or webmasters, you have to stick with one niche and interest only in which you deal with the others. However, there are certain things which link exchangers base your website or blog. It can be judged through:

1. Page rank
2. Niche or interest
3. Alexa rank
4. Traffic volume
5. Do-follow attribute

When you have all of these, you are ready to face off with others in link exchanging. Link exchange is a search optimizing technique that is very easy and free which you only request to exchange links with each other.

GSeo is going to be big soon!

One of my favorite SEO blog and forum site, GSeo, owned by Daniel Lew is going to be big this year. Right now this forum and blog site will gladly focus on more SEO, link building, keyphrases, affiliate programs, copywriting and so much more to come. Daniel Lew is the owner of this site and he's a close friend of mine. He hired a professional designer that his site would be much more unique than the other ones. His other professional blog, Danlew.com will also be upgraded to a brand new script and design as well, in order to compete with other search optimizing blogs like SEOBook and SEOWatch. I can feel that his site will conquer the SEO sites by 2010.

Cheers!

Video marketing on Veoh

Aside from other social media sites like Youtube, there's another website that I can market my own products and services which to be known as Veoh. Veoh is a social media site like Youtube which you can upload your own videos and to share them throughout the entire internet universe. But what about if we do video marketing on Veoh, our products and services could get more traffic. In terms of optimizing your own website, Veoh can also let you add links in the description of your video, which you make sure that it's a do-follow attribute. Veoh is only secondary to Youtube in social media, but we will think that in terms of web optimization and video marketing, we will gain more traffic.

Visualizing your own optimizing goal

If you target something in your mind which you need to accomplish a goal, you need to visualize something for your own good. Same thing which web optimization is your primary concern, I suggest we have to imagine it through visualization.

If we can visualize ourselves, especially in web optimizing, we must picture our target or goal that may live up our dreams to get our site back up in the SERPS, and to always continue our SEO performance by means of link building. One of the starting point is visualize it, and there's no one who can control what you want in the future.

SEO could make you sleepy?

If SEO makes you tired and sleepy, there are solutions in which you can fight for your rights to continue optimize your website for good. It is very important which you need these tips in order to prevent you in getting sleepy:

1. Drink a nice cup of coffee, because it may help you not to get sleepy.
2. Flow your PC with some background music, so that it may keep you alive in working.

Optimizing your website is considered a living to make it very popular in the search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing.

Tired of producing more posts?

If you are tired to produce more posts in yur blog, then all you have to choose either of the two choices:

1. Only post one topic everyday with the keywords of your niche attached w/in your content
2. Hire a virtual assistant

If I am about to choose between the two, I would rather chose the first choice because it saves your time even you optimize it through web optimization. If I will choose the second choice, I will prepare my budget just to maintain my site's performance.

Commenting from no-follow blogs

In my previous post, we say that no-follow sites are not good to juice up your link in order to get your site improved in the search rankings, however it will guarantee you to receive traffic from targeted visitors in your niche on blogs, forums, software sites, etc. People say that if we comment on no-follow blogs, is it useless for them in terms of search optimizing. But they really don't know that they are still able to receive traffic with them. No-follow blogs are still useful for traffic purposes only.

No-follow links are good for traffic?

Some forums like DreamTeamMoney and TalkGold forums have no-follow links, so it's no use for search optimizing. When it comes to traffic, no-follow links are really helpful to optimize your sites. Why? If you're promoting in a no-follow site, your link will not be juiced up, as they will not improve your SERPS. However, when optimizing your site is not present at all, you will only get tons of visitors who clicked in your website and to check it out. So no-follow links are good for traffic, but not on search optimizing.

Team building through comments

As a part of my search optimization project, I want to formulate a team plan which they can comment through my blogs. Through blog commenting, it increases the attraction of the customers and to catch their attention to contribute and share their comments to one topic of the website. It needs a perfect team building which you invite your friends and other people to comment in your blog or website.

The more comments you have, a better potential opportunity awaits when your rankings and popularity goes up again and again. It really depends on how active they are, on how they're interested to it. You don't need to force them commenting your blog post for nothing, you will only encourage them and treat them as a friendly favor. It's still gonna affect the SERPS and also a good SEO work.

Reducing the number of SEO clients

As I am really tired of handling more SEO clients, especially in search engine marketing..I decide to reduce the number of clients from five to two only. I'm pretty tired of handling more because my dad said my time was not very flexible, because it would affect the relationship of me and my family. He said that I cannot do household chores anymore, or fulfill my obligations in school especially the clearance and graduation requirements. It is just that he's concern about who is more important.

He considered that search optimization projects are important to me, and it makes me money. However, he don't want me to work more than 8 to 10 hours due to the increase of electricity bills, damaging my eyesight possibly, or could even overheat my computer. No matter what happens, I can control myself especially in search optimizing.

Difference between "crawl" and "spider"

In terms of search engine optimization (SEO), there's a whole lot of difference between the terms "crawl" and "spider". They are familiar to us which crawl is where we sneak up and spider is an arachnid type of animal. But we're now in the internet world, and it's a whole lot of new meanings when using "crawl" and "spider" in web optimizing.

If you're talking about "crawling" your site, it means that your site indexed by Google and it appears in the search results, while "spider" means one site will allow links to be juiced up in the rankings by means of do-follow attribute. No-follow attributes don't allow links to juice up, but they still can get you more traffic.

This is where "crawl" and "spider" means in the world of web optimization.

Advertising vs. Search optimizing

If you are comparing between advertising and search optimizing, there's a whole lot of difference out there. But what are the things that makes them very different since there's one thing in common for both of these schemes, and that is to gain more visitors, targeted traffic and customers as well. Let's compare between the two:

1. Advertising is a scheme where you will promote one or more sites to different sites which you will stick around and gain some customers. This only focuses on traffic, not letting you get up to the SERPS.
2. Search optimizing is a scheme where you promote backlinks and to juice up your rankings by means of link building. You're not only gonna focus on traffic, but also increasing your site's popularity.

Do-follow blogs are hard to find

One of the things we liked to build our links is through commenting on do-follow blogs, based on the niche or interest which you have the passion to get in the game. It is one of the best and most challenging link building or search optimizing strategies ever to be built by a webmaster. But why is that they are hard to find in the internet right now?

Some say that they can be rare sites which searchers and webmasters have a hard time to just find a do-follow blog. They have nothing to do but to buy those links to some service providers who are really experts in search engine marketing and optimizing as well. Search optimizing could be difficult sometimes in terms of do-follow blog searchers. Even do-follow search engines can't help it, useless for SEO services.

Speak your mind on web optimization

Traffic are one of the things which webmasters will likely focus more for their website. Web optimization is usually involved there in terms of web traffic. Optimizing through world wide web is definitely important and is meaningful to your business as well. We have to speak our mind if we want to become successful in web optimization, because if we don't, our chances to become successful is definitely out of options. we have to stick around in terms of web optimization and traffic as well.

SEO requires practice

If you want to become successful in SEO, all you have to do is to start from the basic to the top and it needs more practice. Why do we need practice for SEO? If we don't practice with search optimizing, you will not be successful just like skipping yourself one step ahead from Grade One to Grade Three, unless if you're a genius one. But here in SEO, there is no genius here but instead, dedication, perseverance and control to maintain your site's performance.

In search optimizing, patience is one of the common things you need to value with, especially on your site's performance. It may take you weeks or months to ensure that your site has improved or not, depending on your maintenance on it. You may start by practicing basic modules of SEO through keyword strategy, forum posting, social bookmarking, etc., until you go to the advanced ones.

That's what practice makes perfect in search optimizing!

Plan to optimize your business

If you want your business to be prominently gain customers outside of town, then you need to apply search optimizing. through search optimizing, we might have a good chance to step up till the end, only if we work hard on managing our business both on virtual sales and non-virtual sales. Not only you can manage through your own business locally, but also internationally. Through search optimizing (SEO), your business will be successful potentially.

Prevent your forum from spamming

Spamming is one thing that destroys the image of the forum, and spammers attacked the forum just to advertise and do search optimizing their sites in different forums. Creating useless post are just a waste of time for them, as the webmasters are deleting their posts and accounts for spamming. If we are trying to optimize our sites, we must not abuse the thread starter or the forum itself. Most webmasters are finding ways to alert them if there are suspected spam posts in their forum, so that they can delete it. Search optimization is not for abusive purposes, especially in forum posting.

Backlinks affected on the loss of one website

If we are generating backlinks on a single website, we would expect that it will generate more backlinks and traffic to our site. But what happens when a site is already gone and flushed? Our search optimizing ways are on a bad luck when a site was toasted and gone. Like for example, if we post on a SEO forum about 1,000 backlinks, and after 2-3 months it was totally gone. The result is you lose backlinks, and your rankings could get lower, as well as your traffic too. if you are a site owner like the forums itself, which more and more people promoting their backlinks to their signatures, you must always maintain your forum alive and free from spam.

The latest SEO trends

I have found this thread on DigitalPoint, which he shared to us the latest trends of search engine optimization (SEO). These are the current and latest techniques which he used for his own site, and he share it to us why search optimization is very important:

Article submissions - twice a week on relevant topics only, which must be fresh and original published by you.
Adding relevant links to pages - once daily on third party blogs or websites which can gain you internal links.
Forum participation - at least ten links daily on one forum with signature backlink attached in your avatar or signature area.
Social bookmarking - your link will be included or submitted at least 5 to 10 social bookmark sites daily or weekly.
Press release - at least once a week, which you provide a news article for yourself to your site and include a backlink there in the signature area of needed.

So now we know about the latest search optimizing trends and tips to maintain your site's page rank and popularity.

Page rankings could take time

If we're trying to increase our page ranks in Google, Yahoo and Bing, then search engine optimization is our friend. You have nothing to invest there when it comes to money, but you only invest your time doing this. If you're saying that page rankings could take time, you're right. If we perform search optimizing techniques on our sites, we must work hard.

Other things which can help you rank better in Google, Yahoo and Bing are search engine marketing (SEM), web optimization, maintaining and updating your blog 3 to 5 times a day and so on. But the main thing here is SEO, which is the reason why webmasters got high in their page ranks due to some serious business in maintaining their sites' credibility. This is where page rankings can take you time to effect in your website, along with search optimization techniques.

A SEO partnership opportunity awaits me

My friend from Australia, who is a SEO expert based in Thailand, has given me an opportunity to do search optimizing with him online. He's about to launch his brand new websites once and for all, and I'm going to help him. We will share profits to each other, as I'm obliged to do blog posts for him in the site, while he pays me for every blog post I've accomplished or comments from other members. This is a fantastic opportunity that my friend wants me to do.

I will help him perform search engine optimization skills like link building, forum posting, social bookmarking, article writing and submissions and so on. We helped each other since months as I promote and boost up his travel site. Now, it's his SEO site and I want him to regain his profits and everything he had lost.

Importance of "ReTweet"

If you have your own blog post and to perform a web optimization technique, you must include a button called "ReTweet". But what is ReTweet anyway? ReTweet is a term which you will "tweet" the topic of a blog or story to Twitter, along with the link beside it. It is simple to put "ReTweet" in every blog post.

Like for example, if you post a blog, you must go to "Edit HTML" or the HTML area, and you will put the ReTweet HTML code above the content you made, along with the link of the blog post alone. When the visitors will click the "ReTweet" button of your post, it will go directly to the Twitter website and to post the blog topic along with the link automatically. This is another great way of search optimizing.

Market your way in search engines

Knowing your market in search engines is very important, as it is being implied to search engine marketing programs. Search engine marketing has become very useful to many of the webmasters around the world. The objective of yours in search engine marketing is to submit your uniform resource locator (URL) to thousands of search engines existed throughout the internet. Pretty simple huh?

When you want your site to become popular and to increase page rankings, then search engine marketing is for you. You should know your target market about your site. It depends on the niche or interest you implement on your website, as long your target market are in a great demand. It's a big achievement like no other on getting enough market on your site in different search engines.


Search engine submissions are really effective

If you hear about a term called search engine marketing, we would say that we’re focusing on search engines alone. Getting indexed and included to the search engines is very important because it will drive you more backlinks to your site. Unlike search engine optimization (SEO), we will focus to gain more backlinks on one search engine over and over again. But through search engine marketing, we will expose our sites to thousands or even millions of search engines existing right now. If we send our uniform resource locator (URL) to thousands of search engines, we need somebody to have sources of search engines that can be submitted manually. They’re really effective you know, because search engine submissions are very useful to any URL we want to increase more backlinks.

I’m back from a high fever

Hello guys!

Identify and build your set of keywords initially

Going back to Keyword Discovery 101 by Ron Jones, optimizing your sites using keywords are very important when you perform pay-per-click and search engine optimization campaigns. Now here is another part of the Keyword Research 101 which lets you setup the initial keywords you must combine with the content.

One of the best tools you ever need to build set of keywords in one place is a spreadsheet. MS Excel is one of the best examples out there. One of the keys here are to take the blinders off and to look all of the possibilities. We must not rule anything out just for now, as we can do that in the refining stage. Two of the popular keyword research tools are WordTracker and Keyword Discovery, and we can check them out in the second part of Ron Jone's Keyword Discovery 101 while developing the initial set of keywords.

Strategy on keyword research 101

Before you begin, it is very important to think about your strategy for my campaign to run and the goals I wish to accomplish. This is one of the basic rules in applying your keywords to search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM). This will affect your keywords to go with, if only you're leaning on a branding campaign that interests you most. It will also affect the way of building traffic back to your website by using a user conversion.

For example, if you're planning to sell digital products with relevant content in your products, you may have a chance to close your sales when you assume that your rank is too much high in the Search Engine Rank Pages (SERPS) through PPC or Search Engine Optimization (SEO). It sometimes called as long-tail, which leads to more customer acquisition and conversions, but you only generate fewer impressions.

The keyword discovery 101

A SEO expert named Ron Jones has started off this topic since 2008, and he shared to us about the keyword discovery. Identifying and refining your keywords have many crossed disciplines to develop proficiency. This is very important when it comes to search optimizing, web optimization, pay-per-click campaigns, link building, article and press releases, product and service descriptions and positioning statements.

Here are the general steps for keyword discovery 101:

1. Define your own keyword strategy, objectives and goals in business.
2. Build initial set of keywords
3. Refine the keywords you have built and sort them into groups or themes that are meaningful
4. Identify your top performing keywords, put them into action after testing it.

This is very helpful information from Ron Jones. There's still continuation about his topic.

Finally I can graduate! More time for SEO!

After 6 years of hardwork and study, I can finally graduate. We're the first group who submitted the bookbinded report which are three of them. In all of the groups, we're the least in the number of members in the group..and we're only three. Other groups have 8-11 members, and they're not yet finished until now. Our topic is all about the beach resort, and that invludes financial statements, marketing aspects, technical aspects and management aspects. It's really hard to do this, but through positive attitude, we determined to do this by ourselves with the help of God. And imagine, only the three of us in the group, and we're the first ones to be approved by the panel. Woohoo! It means, I finally call myself an Octoberian graduate. Now what's left for me is signing of clearance next week and to do full time with my SEO projects for both my separate clients and for myself.

New long term forum client has arrived!

In Digitalpoint forums, I saw a thread that he needs forum posters like me for an ongoing long term project, so I inquired with him and I'm hired. He ordered 250 posts to me for a special price of $21.00 only, which is a slight discount. Supposed to be it's going to be $25.00, but think that he's a long term guy to promote his web hosting program, I'll take the job which is very easy. He himself provided me the account details and the forum he wants me to work on. He's also interested with me to do 1,000 web directories and 100 social bookmarks, but for now...he wants forum posts because members can reply and click the link in the signature of my post. This is another SEO job which I work on right now, and I won't give up no matter how many, as long I earn money.

Building backlinks for pay-per-lead?

Have you been familiar about the scheme called pay-per-lead? This is a scheme which your site can build great amounts of traffic when visitors clicked your site and joined the program. Every unique visitor joins your program, you will generate a lead. I have my main internet general blog which I have a pay-per-lead account at T3Leads. It is one of the leading pay-per-lead programs in the history of internet, and it focu more on insurance, mortgage, real estate and debt consolidation. They have ready made sites just for an affiliate like me, but I can't apply it for now. Building good backlinks and SEO to my blog or website with pay-per-lead programs and offers attached, it has a great chance that I may generate leads monthly.

Social bookmarks are almost done for this week

In my previous post, I've mentioned about my client's huge project, and now this project is still under my client and it's all about 200 social bookmarks. This is a separate job worth $20 and needs to be completed within a week. Since she is concerned about me, slightly affected by storms "Ondoy" and "Peping", she gave me lots of time until I can finish all of her projects. She is willing to donate or give me some dollars just for being a victim of the storm, but gladly were only slight affected because we're in the Visayas region, and we're only experience heavy rains, power interruptions and low floods to our area. This is another SEO project which I should accomplish for her and I'm almost done at it.
Stay tuned!

My other huge SEO project will soon finish

After weeks of rendering the service as a link builder for the huge SEO project, I can finish this in no time. My previous project was to generate 1,000 forum links, 1,000 web directories and 100 social bookmarks. Now, here's the thing I'm working on for $200.

* 200 forum backlinks
* 100 article directories
* 100 press release directories
* 1,000 web directories

Sounds good huh? My client would be happy once more since I've passed her first huge project once and for all, this project would help her build backlinks once again and to improve her page rank and SERPS. We're both benefited, because I earn money and she gains quality traffic and leads to her site.

ELeadMedia approved my account

After days of waiting for my account to be approved, ELeadMedia aproved me. This is another promosing affiliate program which guarantees me good traffic, sales and leads. They have lots of products to choose from in any niche, and I prefer forex and weight loss products. Why? It's because these niches have more customers attracted to it, and I have to apply it on my own blogs as well. I have two blogs related to forex and weight loss respectively, and I can promote my ELeadMedia affilate products within myu blog posts. Then I can do SEO there through link building and other services related to it. Now I could start attaching my affiliate products to my blog and do real SEO.

Cheers!

Buying article marketing services

If you need urgent SEO on your site, then all you have to do is to do article marketing. Since I have no time on doing this, I need to hire someone who can do article writing and submission services to article directories. Someone inquired about my service and I accepted the offer which is $3.50 for 100 article submissions. After 24 hours, my service provider submitted to me the report to my e-mail about the article directories he submitted to my site. Good point and he's fast! We have exchanged iTraders and reputation of course, as we're satisfied with each other. Woohoo! The only thing left to do is press release directories only which is 100 too. But he cost me $10 for that, but worth enough.

Articles could save my budget

If in case there's a brownout or no internet connection, do you know what I'm doing? I write articles on my own in a piece of paper. Then I type it on MS Word and if there's internet connection, I could post a thread on DigitalPoint about the articles I sell right now. Articles usually involves with SEO, because in article directories, we put links in the signature area. When I write articles on my own, I could sell a 5-pack for $20 worth 400 words with keyword-rich texts within the articles. There are many buyers who were buying my articles for good, just to increase their traffic and generating leads and revenue. As for me, when I do this daily...as long my English is good enough, it will save my budget to buy services on my own site.

Planning to sell SEO articles again?

Once again, I am planning to sell unique SEO articles once more. This time, it's keyword-riched and it would be a good reason that the price will be expected as big. From now on, all of the articles I wrote in any niche will be keyword-riched. When it comes to SEO, there are lots of high competing keywords out there, and I will find keywords that are low or average in keyword or keyphrase competition. This evening, I will start write SEO articles once more for 400+ words which are SEO-related only. I would sell each pack for $20.00. Meaning I will sell 5 articles for just $20.00 with keyword-rich texts. This is one strategy in order to have my own budget for professional Squidoo lens service. Not only I earn money for writing SEO articles and sell to them, but also they will gain benefit to the articles I wrote.

Pepperjam rejected my application

Yesterday, I'm attempting to join their affiliate marketing network which is PepperJam, and I put in my name, contact details and websites. However, as they review my application on joining their affiliate program, when I check my e-mail on my spam/junk folder in my Yahoo account, they said that my application was rejected for no reason. I don't know why? Supposed to be that they're my first priority to join as an affiliate marketer, however they rejected my application. I guess I have to try again in the near future. There are still lots of affiliate programs that can be counted on, for my SEO strategy. I wish I could have at least one legitimate affiliate program that is worth to spend time with, especially during my SEO hours.

Many bidders in my SEO project

In my last post about offering an opportunity for bidders for my article and PR submission project proposal for my site, there are so many bidders until now. Even my thread and offer is closes, still some of the members of DP are keep on PM me about the job and their price. But I've already found someone who gave me this kind of offer:
100 article directories = $5
100 press release directories = $10
This is a total of $15, and this is kinda cheap for me. Looks like the $15 bidder is the winner of all the other higher bidders. I can;t believe that many bidders are interested to my offer, at least I know that SEO really concerns me, they're doing everything just to make the results look good and to increase backlinks.

I'm looking for someone to do article & PR submissions

Hello guys, at Digitalpoint forums....this is my first time that I act myself as a buyer, and I'm currently looking for someone who can do submissions on my article and press release to article and press release directories respectively. My budget is from $10 t $20 for this project, as I'm looking for ones who can provide me a cheaper price than the others. The lowest bidder will be the winner. Currently, I have 10 bidders and I think I have chosen one who is cheap for both article and press release directories for just $15. Others have big offers like $25 for all and $50 too. Hahaha! So I think I have found a winner. This is another way of getting more huge backlinks to my site through articles and press release submissions.

Another forum posting opportunity for me

I saw a thread on Digitalpoint that he needs a long-term forum poster. I deal with him about the package I have stored for him. These package deals are very stable and good for him, and these are:

100 posts = $12
200 posts = $20
500 posts = $47
1,000 posts = $95

But none of them he chooses, instead he wants me to do 250 posts for $21 only. I accepted the deal but he must make payment first before taking action of posting in different webmaster-related forums. We'll, this is another great opportunity for me in doing SEO for his site.

Good luck!

Getting attracted to PeopleString

Since I've joined a social networking called PeopleString, I was attracted through their video presentation and feedbacks from other members. I saw their latest payment proofs which are about $30 and $50+, respectively for this month. They're paying on a monthly basis for free members and twice per month for pro members. It's so expensive for pro members, but it only cost me a one-time $200, and no other hidden charges. I was attracted to their design and content, and also their way of keeping their site stable and reliable for the customers. Their compensation to every member is based on revenu sharing. Today, I have $1.53 in my account and still rolling! I have put three backlinks to my site in my profile just for another SEO strategy. PeopleString is acool place to deal with good stable payments.

PeopleString? The next Facebook?

Have you heard about a new social networking program called PeopleString? People say that this could be the next Facebook. Why? They have opportunities for free and pro members. All of us will be paid and getting shares from PeopleString. We could be paid via Paypal once reaching minimum payment of at least $25, but if you're a pro member.....you could be paid twice per month and more benefits than free members. I can do SEO there which I can put links to my PeopleString profile and inviting friends to join PeopleString. They say that I will be paid $0.50 for every free member invited, up to 6 levels and getting a percentage of their shares and purchases on shopping section. This is cool you know, as I can create my own group here and to promote my site.

Rick Rolling? A prank to do SEO?

Have you heard about a term called "Rick Rolling"? In the latest news which a blog or website posted a topic about WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) that Mr. Mcmahon, will buy a rival wrestling company called TNA (Total NonStop Action Wrestling). After I clicked the website, it redirects me to Youtube which the title is the same.....but I just got "Rick Rolled" which a video of 1987's "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley showed up. It was being practiced since last year and is growing aroudn the world. I really don't know if this is a good idea of doing SEO? For me yes, because "Rick Roll" is already been spreaded across USA and other parts of the world, which Rick Astley makes himself popular again. I can do SEO and can trick them by making my own "Rick Roll" video. Hahaha!

PepperJam uses Text Link Ads to do SEO?

Have you heard about one of the best affiliate programs called PepperJam? I have just checked out their sites and I think they're legitimate because they have more awards as one of the top and legitimate affiliate programs I've ever seen. One way which Pepperjam has made themselves popular is through advertising using Text Link Ads? They are somewhat called contextual ads which you can advertise to other sites or to your own blog or website. You will have a chance to be increased in the top of the SERPS through using contextual ads. This is another way which PepperJam earned lots of traffic and dollars, and it still involves search optimizing (SEO). Soon, Pepperjam would be one of my potential affiliate programs ever.

SEO works for affiliate programs?

If I do SEO for my own blog which has some widgets like Facebook, Twitter and other sites......it means I can apply my skills by doing SEO with affiliate sites. I'm not sure yet if what could be the legitimate affiliate marketing programs will I join, which I promote products online. Affiliate programs are one of the reasons why webmasters and blog owners are successful when it comes to SEO. If they have such skills of promoting their sites to different directories, social bookmarks, social media and networking, I should apply this to myself. But how? I can motivate myself, but not this time because of thesis project needed to be accomplished and submitted this week. I think it will work for me, but I need such skills which are advanced way in order for my SEO to be successful, and to generate more traffic and sales to my affiliate products.

Affiliate marketing? My next big opportunity?

A door which will lead me to financial freedom will soon be open. Since I am very tired of doing SEO just to make money, I shall do SEO on my own which I have a new attracted scheme. This is already old and has been practiced for many years already. I'm now talking about getting involved in affiliate marketing. With affiliate marketing, I have chances to generate revenue and sales from the products I promote. SEO is part of this exciting scheme as I guess, but I'm not a noob of affiliate marketing, instead I just didn't apply my skills in affiliate marketing to my blog and didn't manage it well. Of course the most challenging when it comes to affiliate marketing is doing search optimization. I hope that affiliate marketing will be my biggest opportunity ever, especially doing SEO to my blog or website which affiliate products I've promote are on it.

No time again for SEO! Graduation is on the line!

Once again, here I am today to talk about my latest activities for today. I have been busy through this week just to complete my thesis project. I have no more time to do SEO because being a Octoberian graduate student is my first ever priority which is only days away. Right now I have finished checking with the four panels on marketing, management, financial and technical aspects. Now all I have to do is to sign with our professor and the dean itself. After we sign both of them, we will do clear copy of our final one for two copies and bookbind them for good. At least my exams were finished by now, so thesis is the only thing left. Once I finished my thesis projects, I'm gonna focus my SEO career.

Woohoo!

Saturday 10 October 2009

Day off again on my SEO work

It's Sunday guys! Time to enjoy for a while. I have spent yesterday most of the time with SEO and I finished it around 1 a.m. Can you believe that? Probably yes! Doing SEO for my own site are one of the things that I must maintain. Why did I work even at night? Here are the reasons:

1. I'm at school every Monday to Friday the whole day.
2. When I got home around 7 P.m., my sister is using my computer until 9 a.m. w/o asking permission. Reason? Facebook, Friendster, games, etc.
3. My dad shuts down our router around 12 midnight, good thing I have bought an alternative way of connecting which is a prepaid flash drive broadband so that I can finish it.
4. I maintain my blogs at least one article per day with informative and relevant content of course.
5. On every Saturday, I do household chores every morning forced by my parents. They don't care if I got fired by my boss, because they only want me to respect their decisions. It really frustrates me.

No matter what it takes, I won't give up doing SEO in this situation. Of course, Sunday is always my free time. It's time for me to rest for SEO work now, and be back tomorrow.

I'm invited to post in Hymoo forums

In my previous posts here in this blog, Hymoo owner invited me to post at Hymoo forums. After my friend got fired by him in the first place, I was disappointed. You know why? My friend is not going to be deserved in the content world. He truly sucks on his writing and understand simple English. All he cares about is to make money without learning from it. Although he was paid $50 from a guy named Amer who want him to post crappy and "WTF" types on different forums, as long the backlinks of Amer are at present and alive...he won't last long in the content world. He needs to understand good and fluent English,. I'm invited because he knows that I'm a very potential candidate to post on his forums, and to get paid in any form of post, as long I understand what he means.

I'll just think about it first till I'm ready to post in Hymoo forums.

Yahoo's secret button?

Are you kidding me? I have never been doing this before. Check this out!



This kid shows us the secret button of the Yahoo home page. It does involved in the SEO process. Why? If we want our site to be more attractive than ever, then we use unique styles of making your home page filled with secrets. Here in Yahoo, the kid clicks on the Yahoo exclamation point and it automatically sounds the signature of the Yahoo catchphrase. I don't think Google has some kind of buttons like that, but they are more simple and mostly used by millions of users in doing SEO.

Anyway, that Yahoo's secret button rocks!

SEO tutorial by WebBizIdeas

Check this out guys!



This guy will teach you about the basics to do SEO. This is a cool video I saw on Youtube which teaches you from the basic to finish. It involves the keyword competition, on and off page SEO optimization, sitemaps, and many more! There are many things to learn here which I haven't applied this for myself and soon I'm going to apply them. His presentation in SEO tutorial is so professional. Although he uses small screen which was not zoomed out for us to see such texts, but his information is where I understand the most.

Try to learn the basics here guys!

Hooray! I was given iTrader this morning!

When I woke up today and check my e-mail, I have an iTrader rating notification from Homme which he was satisfied about my work on submitting products on shopping bookmarks. I submit ever product URL of his product like men's watches, men's cufflinks, earrings and necklaces. I submitted all of them to StyleHive and was quickly approved. I've also gain him access to my account because since that is his products, so I gave my account to him. Right now in Digitalpoint forums, I have a 38 iTrader and moving closer to 40. My biggest goal in receiving good iTrader is at least 100+.

I have a total of 37 good iTrader and only one bad feedback which is not legitimate and that feedback was from a scammer. Through my SEO jobs, my iTraders are fair good enough.

Am I ready for the Hymoo challenge?

First of all, we define what Hymoo is all about. It is a forum created by a valuable administrator which I forgot his name. He wants to increase his popularity in the search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. Although he doesn't want backlinks from his members, this is a no-follow forum because signatures were not available as of this moment. The question is, am I ready to take the challenge of the Hymoo administrator? His only goal is to make his site very active daily which members post anytime they want, as long the activity is still on. He obliged me to do a minimum of 20 posts and a maximum of 30 posts daily. Sounds good?

We'll find out soon! Stay tuned!

Hymoo client not impressed of my friend's work

Yesterday, I saw a thread on DigitalPoint about the forum posting opportunity for everyone. So since I have many jobs to do, I give this to my friend because he only earns $50 monthly, but not good enough. My Hymoo client interviewed him and gave him full instructions on the posting guidelines. Just as I imagined, in his very first post, my client was not impressed at all, and he says "WTF" to my friend. Meaning my friend is just tired of reading the instructions and to just think of earning money quickly. He is not really fluent in English but the worst part is, he's not doing good in just following instructions from the Hymoo client. The Hymoo client fired my friend, because it will affect the Hymoo client's search optimizing plan.

He wants to take me as my friend's replacement, but 'm not yet ready. Don't worry..he will wait till I'm ready because he knows that I'm good at following instructions.

My friend just finished 500 forum backlinks

Like I finished one of my huge SEO projects, my friend Peter also finished his monthly huge forum backlinks project, which he was paid $50 through Alertpay for 500 backlinks to different forums. He was so happy about his accomplishment and makes his client, Amer....happy about it. He just hope that through his work, he can have some extra money for himself but not good enough. His job is one of the good search optimizing strategies that his client obliged fro him. In his first task with him, he noticed that there are some improvements regarding his site's PR and SERPS. For my own project, my clients are already satisfied and continued order projects to me as many as possible. Not only me who was happy about the job, but my friend too.

At least he has $50 monthly.....rather than nothing.

A huge SEO project was fulfilled

After weeks of working hard through this SEO job, finally it has been completed. I was obliged to do at least 1,000 forum posts, 1,000 web directories and 100 social bookmarks. And here are my results:

Forum posts: 1,145 links
Web directories: 1,015 links
Social bookmarks: 100 links

Looks like I'm already beyond the requirement just to impress my client and adding more orders to me. He supposed to pay me $100 in a moment as the remaining payment still in pending process. He had paid me 50% upfront which is $100 and for the completion, the remaining 50% will be paid soon, for I receive a total of $200. Phew! Now I only have one huge project left to do.

Cheers!

I'm finally finished on StyleHive!

After few hours of work day by day, I'm finally finished on my shopping bookmark submission on StyleHive. I have accomplished 300 products which I did submitted and there's no problem for me at all. I can't believe that there are actually lot of people viewing my client's products and one of them PMed me to be as my friend in StyleHive. It's just like a social networking like no other which combined of shopping gurus and fans out there worldwide. My client was really happy about my work and it's good. It's still part of his own search optimizing strategy and he only wants to improve the SERPS of his products. I'm very happy for him and for myself, because I have done a good SEO job and I hope he' s happy for the results.

Been busy again in thesis! Less time for SEO!

I was busy these days in school just to edit the corrections needed by our panel in our business plan project, which is required for graduation. This costs me less time to do SEO and freelance works again. Next week after examination, when I submit the three copies of bookbind of our business plan project, it's now official that I'm already a certified graduate! Woohoo! I can't wait for that day. When I graduate, that means I have more time on my search optimizing projects and freelance jobs too, which my budget will be used to maintain my monthly web hosting. Once I graduate, I will celebrate with my family, and a separate celebration for me and friends.

For now, study is my first priority and I have only one exam this Monday, and it's all about Management Information System..so it costs my precious SEO time, but I can recover that after my exams and thesis to be accomplished. I hope for those who read this content, shall pray for me that I will accomplish everything in school just to graduate. Cheers!


I was hired to post at a dating forum

Few hours ago since I finished my 12 posts on Business Advice Forums, I was also hired by another girl owner who owned "I'm Yours" forum, which is a UK-based forum, to post new threads about dating and relationship. I was obliged to do 100 thread posts for 100 high quality words related to dating and relationship only. I tried my very first post, and she's impressed with it and to let me continue until I reach 100 posts. She will pay me a massive $0.40 per post, so here's my calculation:

$0.40 per threads x 100 threads = $40

I think I can finish this job within a week, for just 20 posts a day. Ahahaha! Here in "I'm Yours" UK forums, I can do signature backlinks when I qualified for the number of posts I've contribute. This is another way of using my search optimizing strategy.

I was referred to Business Advice Forums

Few hours ago, someone from DigitalPoint interested to hire me as their forum poster...but still under probationary status. This is one way of doing search optimization which is to hire new members to be paid through posting. A girl named Ekta from Russia I think........was my referrer in joining that forum. I was obliged to do 12 posts for now, and she will contact me if I'm one of the 5-7 posters who will get paid $0.20 per post on a long term basis. Business Advice Forums has over 10,000 members already, and still growing. I liked their forum, because the topics were very interesting and attractive to visitors. I am so welcomed to this forum, even I'm not one of the qualified ones...I will still post to their forums for backlinks purposes, just another search optimizing strategy.

Hymoo forums has no signatures

I have been a member of this site for few months now, and I have been attracted to this forum site. Hymoo forums is an all-in-one forum, which all of the topics are right here.......by alphabetical category of course. Mostly I post on internet marketing topics and video games. The only thing which Hymoo forums doesn't have is the signature backlinks. They have disable it because they are against members or spammers promoting or advertising their websites, products or blogs. They are considered no-follow forums, so backlinks are useless here. We're only here just to share everything we had on Hymoo. It's useless when we do SEO here, but there are topics that are useful and we could check them out for sure. Hymoo is a great forum site, but only they have no signature backlinks enabled.

Almost done on StyleHive task!

It's very easy task on StyleHive which I only submit various products to them, and to be seen by the audience. Right now I'm up to 180+ products and less than 120 to go for tomorrow. Quite easy for me because all I need to do is just submit 300 product URL's of my client's product. This is one of the perfect place to build backlinks of your shopping product. After I submit the URL, they automatically detects the pictures and let's you choose either one or four of them which is the maximum, and the keywords need to be used at least one. This is much better than I use Kaboodle before, so the $30 advanced payment of my client, Homme is satisfied and it's worth for him and his website.

My task will be finished tomorrow! Stay tuned!

Templates also effects your SEO

SEO is definitely taking their steps to the next level. Guests and visitors also wonder that there are some websites that has ugly templates, while others have beautiful templates. The things which visitors rely on are not only content, widgets and quality of the site, but rather the templates too. Templates are the background key to your success. With unique and beautiful templates, you may be able to design your site as long as you want that matches with the niche of your site. The color combinations are very important in using templates, as you do SEO to your site with good color combination (e.g., red, black and white), millions of visitors will be potentially attracted to your site and to keep things coming until your site is successful. Templates are very important and a part of our website, as we do SEO, the first thing which attracts them most are your templates.

Moderating a forum site

If we have an ambition to be a moderator of one forum, you must have the requirements needed by the administrator of the forum if you like to be one of the moderators. These requirements are just simple as you think, and here are the following possible requirements that needs to be done:

1. Must be active always on the forum most of the time. Monitor every suspicious posts and PM's that are violating the terms of the forum.
2. Must contribute and participate to any interesting discussion which a thread starter posted.
3. Be able to answer all the questions, suggestions and clarifications being complained or being sent by a valued member.
4. Must be able to follow the rules of the forum as a moderator, and be one of the admin's right side.
5. When a member tries to spam or abuse anyone's posts, you have the right to suspend, warning or ban them in the forum. You must entertain threads that are being reported by some complainants.

New project on StyleHive

Here at StyleHive shopping bookmark, we submit our product URL's as easy as it gets, and less risk to be removed or not at all! I received $30 from this guy named Homme, which he paid me through Paypal for 300 product submissions to StyleHive. Our first choice was Kaboodle, but since Kaboodle removed my account and we detect that his site was also blocked by them, we have no other choice but to stick with StyleHive. This is a perfect place to do SEO for shopping items, and we can also add our own backlinks to our profile page. In my first two hours spending time on submitting these product URL's, it was much faster than Kaboodle. I submitted 80 products in less than two hours, compare to Kaboodle which I only submitted 60 products in two hours.

So far so good, and my objective is to finish 300 products by tomorrow, and letting my client Homme satisfied. I can't wait to finish this awesome project. Cheers for StyleHive!

StyleHive vs. Kaboodle

After I was removed by Kaboodle, another shopping bookmark site was my potential. It's called StyleHive. This is much easier to do SEO for my products rather than Kaboodle. The difference between the two was StyleHive doesn't need you to create a list or category of your products separately, instead all of the products will be compiled in one single profile. And the best part is, it has less risk of getting removed because when I submit a product URL and they detect duplicates, they only give us a sign. On the other hand, Kaboodle really sucks on doing SEO because you need to create your own list or category first before you submit products...and they have a higher chance that you may be removed without notice. StyleHive can add up to four images while Kaboodle only sticks to one.

I suggest you better stick with StyleHive, not Kaboodle!

Kaboodle cancelled my account!

Today I just login to my Kaboodle account, and when I found out that my account doesn't exist anymore. I don't know why? The products I've submitted were already been taken first by a member, and I realize that I must not submit duplicate products. I searched on the products I've submitted, and when I saw that the same products submitted are coming from a member who first submitted months before I take action. Kaboodle cancelled my account for this, and I have over 500+ products submitted in a hard effort for less than 3-4 days, and their reward for me is just deleting my account? My SEO for my products to Kaboodle are worthless.

I suggest that you stay away from Kaboodle! They delete my account without notice, not products!

Search optimizing all the way!

Today is another great day for me, as I do another search optimizing projects for now. SO far, I have two new search optimizing (SEO) projects to handle, and they are both long term but very easy and small. The first one is the shopping bookmark service, which another person paid me $30 for 300 products to be submitted through Paypal and the other one is forum posting through a good SEO and webmaster forum. On the forum postings, I definitely not gonna include signatures anymore, because I'm just working on his own forum, and he needs to kick start his forum with updated posts and threads too. I am obliged to do 100 posts a month for a total of $11 monthly.
We'll, sounds short to me, but sounds great too for a little extra money. Hahaha! We'll, it's another great day for me and my SEO works are just keep running all the way!

Monitoring your site's stats

Are you always concern of monitoring your site's stats? Why? For me, it's valuable because we want to determine if our site's performance is good or not base on page impressions and unique visitors from different countries who are visiting our sites. SEO is really involved here, so we need to do whatever it takes just to maintain our site's traffic. But how can we determine the stats? If you're joining pay-per-click sites like Adsense, Smowtion, Chitika or Adzdaq, you will see your daily stats on the report page on how many clicks and impressions you receive. In terms of web optimization, your site's stats shall take in effect if optimized clearly and wisely. Right now, I monitor every single day of my blog's traffic to determine what's lacking for me and needs to improve. That's how important we should monitor our sites day by day, and SEO should be the one to take effect.

Why anyone still need copy paste contents?

In Digitalpoint forums, there are still some people who are offering copy paste jobs and services. Why? I think there are three reasons why they would like someone to copy paste contents from other sites for them. Did they know that plagiarism is a bad crime? If you're not the author of the content, and you just posted the content without permission or without source links or supported message, then you are called to be a fraudulent author, and may lead you in prison. Anyway, here are the main reasons:

1. They just want to boost and update their website for good. After that, they will rewrite the content by themselves so that it won't be sued as a stealer of the content.
2. They want to post an updated or news article for their own site just to update and maintain their traffic and SEO tactics, but they put the source link onto it.
3. It could be possible a Private Label Right content, because PLR can be copied.

I think I might need them in the near future for copy paste contents. It can maintain my site for search optimizing purposes, depending on the keywords.

Seoquake is doing good in Firefox

I have been using Seoquake for a long time in my Mozilla Firefox, and it's quite doing well for me. I always get recent stats from them on the upper part of page every time I visit a site. Compare to Internet Explorer, you need to click the question marks of every data just to see your stats, but on Mozilla Firefox, it will give you the stats automatically without need to click them. They're just very stable and a perfect tool for SEO. I have monitored my three blogs I managed on Seoquake if I get enough backlinks on the site. I also monitored them using Smowtion, which is a Pay-Per-Click program like Adsense about the page impressions, number of clicks and earnings too. Once again, I recommend Seoquake to all of you guys, because if you want to do SEO, then Seoquake for Mozilla Firefox is just for you.

How does search engines work on many sites?

I saw one of the SEO topics in Digitalpoint forums on how search engines work? The thread starter was right about it, because before we do the SEO, we must learn first the architecture of search engines. Search engines like Yahoo, Google and Bing have the following components:

* Indexer - it analyzes various elements of the page like text, headers, etc.
* Spider - this program downloads web pages just like a web browser we use right now.
* Crawler - this program focuses on finding links in a page.
* Result Engine - this term focuses on ranking pages
* Database - this is simply know as the storage data.
* Web Server - it contains an HTML page with an input field for search queries.

I hope you have learned something from these components.


Long-tail searches? Are they effective?

I came across on the Digitalpoint forums section on Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and I've found this latest SEO topic on long-tail searches? What are long-tails anyway? These are names of websites or keywords/keyphrases with long letters and words. But are they gonna take effect on our Google rank? One who commented says that long-tail searches are not new, because they are so-called multi-word phrases such as "how to apply for a credit card online", which we count as 8 words actually. So it's considered long tail. For short tail searches, at least 2-4 words will be good enough, and may help you generate traffic as well. They are not a new set of scheme, and it may truly not going to improve or reduce your Google PR.

Just stick to short tail searches!

Motivating your SEO teammates

What are the things we need to consider in order to motivate our own SEO teammates? The teammates' performance will only depend n the motivation of a leader like me. It is very important for us to know that motivation is truly one key to succeed in our SEO business or team play. How can we motivate them anyway?
1. E-mail or contact them regularly. Make sure that they give you their e-mail and contact phone or mobile number so that you can follow-up their performance. Follow-up them almost 3-4 times a week.
2. Entertain their problems and difficulties on their work and try to give them advice, so that they would not experience difficulty in their work.
3. Always conduct a regular meeting once every week by gathering all of them, especially you in one place.
This is where your SEO business succeeds, through motivating your teammates.

Succeed through SEO business

If we manage ur own SEO business, our goal is to succeed right? But how are you going to apply it for your business? And what are the specific terms that we need to succeed in our SEO business. Just like any other business that we see everywhere in this world, here are some few points:

1. Motivate yourself and your colleagues. Try to concentrate on what you're doing and don't do anything that may distract your work.
2. Do SEO manually, not using auto generating softwares. It may only waste your time in using softwares because it will not help you in the SERPS. Better stick to manual.
3. Manage your time. We always manage our time both SEO and our personal lifestyle. If we can do it, success will arrive.

These are the few things which I recommend for all of you if you manage your own SEO business.

Managing multiple blogs?

Do you have many sites or blogs to manage? Can you manage them all at the same time daily? We'll for me, it's a yes and no. Why? My situation is that I have 3 blogs to manage with, excluding this one which I was invited to post and contribute here as many as I want. Hahaha! Does a webmaster can do SEO on multiple blogs he managed, but what about me? Here are my considerations:
Yes: This could be my answer because the more sites you manage with revenue ads, the more you earn traffic, sales and potential high ranking to the SERPS.
No: This could be my answer because if I have less time to do this, then I cannot manage them all, but only one blog and my SEO time could be exhausting.
My blogs that I manage right now are about general internet updates, foreign exchange news and topics, and diet/weight reduction blog. I spent my time bookmarking them and submitting an article to Ezine. Press releases wil not help me unless I'm upgraded. So it depends on your time if you really take the risk on managing multiple blogs....like me.

I'm almost done on forum posting job!

Next week it's my final exams, so this week I'm almost done with my forum posting job. This includes backlinks which I do the SEO thing or shall I say, Search Optimization! I was obliged by someone to do backlinks on different forums with backlinks attached on the signature. Right now, I have 800+ posts, and less than 200 to go! I can't wait to finish 2/3 of my project because the first one is web directories, then forum posting and the last one would be social bookmarks.

Sounds easy to me, but it will take me a long time to finish this up. I was paid upfront $100 and if I'm done, he will pay another $100 to me....for a total of $200 just for doing search optimizing. I can't wait to finish them, but I also focus on my studies and thesis too, because the semester break is approaching quickly. This is whether I graduate or not, so I need to manage my time both SEO and studies.

Exceeding warning levels on forums

There are so many forums have rules which a member wll be given a warning through violating one or more of theier terms. Sites like DigitalPoint and TalkGold will ban users if they exceed more than 10 points of infraction or warning. It's either they accuse you of spamming posts, multiple accounts, abusing or hijacking other's threads and replies, and also promoting referral links in their threads, replies or signatures. Forums are truly a source of good backlinks, but not to use them for spamming purposes. Doing SEO on forums are good, but some of them are very sensitive which they disable signature menus that spammers may not advertise to their forums. Spamming wll only destroy the image and sections of their forums, and because of that...more and more members will be inactive. So as members, please don't try to spam just for SEO....because if you are given a warning for 10 consecutive times....you're banned either temporary or even permanently.

SEO service provider's ability

As we look forward for our sites to reach to the top of SERPS, we shall need a SEO service provider who is very professional, experienced and can finish the job on time. Every provider of SEO must be serious about their work, and the clients will just pay compensation depending on the service provider's performance. Let's say if we hire low quality SEO service providers, the client must pay or bid low to them, or offer bulk discount service for them. Until they prove that they are high qualified, you wll pay them a high compensation for the next SEO project. Their special ability is by searching broaderly on the relevant keywords and links, as well as directories that are fast approved together with article directories and press release directories. Social bookmarks are automatically approve and publish your sites, and forum posts too.

Better to stick with low competition

If you're starting your own blog or website with content, we must be aware of the possible keywords that are highly competitive than low competitive. Why should we choose and stick to low competition? Here are the possible reasons:

1. If we use highly competitive keywords, your site wil struggle to reach to the top of SERPS, as many of them are using specific keywords that you use right now.
2. Through Google Keyword External tool, we will determine keywords that are high, average and low competitive, and we should stick to the low ones.
3. Through low ones, we have a greater chance to increase our site to the SERPS of Google, Yahoo and Bing, and maintaining it is just what we need.

For me, I just stick to keywords with low competition.

Quest to finish my huge SEO project

I'm still on a conquest to finish my huge SEO project, my goal is to finish all of them by the end of October. Through Search Optimization jobs, you may expect that the service provider himself will take time to finish the project in a long term basis. As for me, I have two huge projects need to be finished, and both of them allowed me to finish wthin 1-2 months, due to my situation in school for my thesis project. One of them will pay me the remaining 50% of our deal which is another $100, while the other one will give me $200 for the next huge project once I'm done. This is a quest that I must conquer, in order to fnish my huge SEO projects.

A simple optimizing technique

If anyone knows how to optimize a site in a simple technique, there's one thing. This tool is very simple if you want to optimize your site as simple. I'm talking about a Google tool called the Google Webmaster Tools. All you need to do is to add a URL, and choose either of the two options namely, the meta tag verification and the HTML file verification. For me, meta tag verification is so easy when it comes to Blogger and other sites with "Edit HTML" feature. If I want to give you a recap of the HTML format for verification, here's the guideline:

Look for the head part in the HTML file, and put the meta tag below the HEAD one.

SIMPLE AS THAT!

It's easy right, just find it in the "Edit HTML" menu. If it's hard to find, just open the blog first and right click and select "View Page Source", then click Ctrl+F, and type or . It's just for HTML type editors like Blogger, but for Yola (formerly Synthasite), you can use the second option, which they have a bar menu of putting your verification file.

Sounds easy and simple right?

Guiding people through SEO

If there are some newbies that need help from the SEO experts, then all we have to do is guide them according to plan. We will teach them step-by-step process on how to do the real SEO thing. If we will not concentrate on what we're teaching to the people, then their impression to you will not be satisfied. It's such a bad way just to let them test the difficult process than the wasy ones. If I am the teacher of SEO, I would say that I shall start teaching from the very beginning till the end, so that all of them may understand what you mean. We must always entertain their questions, but if they are just asking and asking without applying what you have teached them, all you have to do is let them write notes on what you discuss and explained about the SEO process, and treat them like a student or helping a friend. That's the way we guide people through SEO.

Discussing search optimization

Discussing other things related to you and your family, might be a daly habit to ourselves. But when discussing SEO with your family, they might have less interests on it. Target people who are interested about thosse things can be discussed by you in terms of professionalism. When discussing search optimization, we must be sure that professionalism is always at present, and we should always know what were talking to. It's just as simple you know? Talking such search optimization topics like link building, web directories, social bookmarks or press releases has some points and matters that we may be able to know about these things. This topic discussion is so cool, only for those who have interests.

My all-new weight loss blog

I decided to start my all new weight-loss blog, which is Jeff's Diet World. I set aside my forex blog for now because I now follow the guidelines of the Millionaire's Guide E-book, which weight loss and diet are the main topics I will focus for my blog. I will use keywords with such low competition than any highly competed keywords. I know what to do and I always search in a broad way, just to find unique low competitive keywords, which are similar and also synonym for weight loss and diet. I also started a few SEO on my blog through the top social bookmarks like Digg, Delicious, Technorati, StumbleUpon and many more. I also submitted my blog to Jayde and planning to make an article about this and submit to Ezine.

For now, I have one follower in my blog. I promoted the "Simple Diet Guide" in my featured links and within my blog posts, to test if I generate more sales on Clickbank. I assure you that my own blog, the Jeff's Diet World will last longer, and soon be upgraded to a real domain name and be appearing on the SERPS.

Huge web directory project finished again!

Last night, I have accomplished another huge project on web directories. My client paid me $25 to complete 1,000 web directories in a week. Once again, I'm proud of myself of what I've done, and he given me an iTrader on Digitalpoint. I do the same to him and also giving him a good reputation. Web directories are one of the easiest SEO jobs I have done, and I have never been so good in this job. Soon, I will apply this to my own blogs or websites in the near future, when I'm ready. My target for my own blog is to have more than 10,000 backlinks in a year, and I haven't started yet. I submitted his web directory report through MS Excel file, and he says that I am really professional in terms of submission service and reports. Now, I can go back SEO again on my own!

What is web optimization?

I am not really familiar about web optimization, but I am willing to learn this thing. Web optimization is a term similar to search engine optimization, but this more unique than any other optimization activities. Actually when SEO focuses on search engines, web optimization focuses on websites. Meaning, if we do SEO on our sites like link building, forum posting, social bookmarks, etc., we can do web optimization in just one thing. We will optimize our sites not in search engines, but within websites. Professional websites are a good example for web optimization. If we can ask the web owners to optimize our respective sites to them, based on the niche of interest, it's up to the owner to decide if he approves it or not.

I hope we learn something on what web optimization is all about.

Blackout tomorrow! No time for SEO!

Here in our area, it was announced in the newspaper that our electricity generating company, CENECO (Central Negros Electric Cooperative) will shut down all electricity to all areas of Bacolod City. Why? They have a full maintenance on their system, so that it may continue running smoothly on Monday. This means, I cannot open my computer and internet as well, meaning no SEO for tomorrow. This is not only brownout, it's blackout all over the place! It's just for one day only, and it might not last long. This is for our own good, because they have recent problems on their electricity status and machine generators. But there's an option, me and my family could go to the malls because they have generators. Malls have internet cafes, but I think it's time for some long break and to be back working my SEO on Monday.

I'll be back on Monday guys! Cheers!

Managing my own SEO hours

If we want to manage our own SEO hours, this is indeed a good idea. As I have mentioned about avoid getting tired eyes, this is a great help for all of us! If I were to share about my ideas of managing my own SEO hours, here are some few points.

1. In the morning, don't do SEO in the early morning. You can start at 9AM to 12NN, but with at least 30-minute snack break. Always eat breakfast and take a shower before accessing your computer.
2. Eat heavy lunch at around 12NN to 1PM. Talk with your family and friends. After eat, rest for about 30 minutes. Vegetables and fruits are more preferred for this job to increase good eyesight.
3. In the afternoon, start around 1:30 to 5:00 PM, with at least 30-minute snack break within the hours of work. Don't forget to bring along cold water or softdrinks, it may cool you up to continue your work.
4. Take time to go outside of your house or office around 5PM, and go malling and bonding with your friends. It may help your eyes and body to regain strength for the evening session.
5. When at home, let's say around 7 or 8PM, eat heavy dinner first before continuing your SEO job overtime. Work only 2 hours from 9PM to 11PM, and then take a half-bath and go to sleep for another day. This may help your body to gain full rest and regeneration.

How to avoid tired eyes while doing SEO?

In order to eliminate of being tired in doing such SEO services, there are things which we need to apply before it's too late.

1. Eat breakfast and take a shower first before starting your SEO job.
2. In the morning, work at least 3 hours, try to rest and take a break for at least 30 minutes.
3. In the afternoon, work at least 3 hours, try to rest and take a break for at least 30 minutes, and if you have time for malling and leisure, it's good.
4. Always eat vegetables and fruits, also taking vitamins and minerals to maintain a good eyesight.
5. In the evening, work at least 2 hours after you eat your dinner.

I hope this one helps you a lot in order not to suffer vertigo and tiredness of your beautiful eyes, especially in SEO jobs!

24-Hour SEO? Is it possible?

Are you taking your risk in SEO for full 24 hours? Non-stop doing SEO? For me, possibly yes and no. Why? If yes, you should hire a team both in the day and night zone. What are these zones anyway? Example, if I'm from the Philippines and those who are in the day zone are from US, UK, Brazil, etc., while the night zone will be consisted of areas that are connected with our country like most Asian countries and Australia. Team play is good in SEO for 24 full hours. But if we disagree, then we assume that you are working by yourself. Your eyes could be tired and it may result to vertigo. Always remember that every person needs hours of rest and leisure, not by just doing SEO the whole day without rest.

A new Clickbank opportunity has arrived!

I have been browsing all over Digitalpoint forums in the Clickbank section, and searching keywords that I find relevant to products that are being most target to sell. I read their messages until one person have a signature of the latest product being released last September and can earn 75% of their retail sales. It's a full detailed report about making money on weight loss topics. Is it possible? Yes! The download is free of charge, and the report inside is very attractive. It may teach you step by step in order to gain control of your content by writing specific keywords and ads to your site. Through this Clickbank product, you have huge potential sales because a lot of Americans now are overweight, and weight loss products are the things they need. This is a great Clickbank opportunity, and hopefully I could earn more here.

Traffic exchanges do last long

I wonder why there are thousands of webmasters have maintained their traffic exchange sites for the years to come. Some traffic exchanges like StartXChange and EasyHits4U, started way back in 2002 and 2003, respectively, until now they're still going strong and have lots of members online and registered. In forums like Digitalpoint, V7N, NetBuilders, WickedFire, NamePros and WarriorForums, they usually sell their traffic exchanges for those who are interested to do business with them. They might cost you around more than $50 and up to $100+, depending on the site's uniqueness. It simply drives traffic to your site and increase your SERPS, but definitely called a "BlackHat" type.

Is MyLot good for SEO?

Have you heard about a unique forum discussion site called MyLot? It has been online for years now and still going strong. Usually, it is a paid discussion site which lets people discuss anything about their personal thoughts, news and current events and some opportunities that someone might give them for their future. You are paid for your activeness and paticipation on the forums either starting a new topic or replying with the other posters. This is one perfect place that people may express their own feelings through writing their own topics and let everyone response in your topic, if only catch up their interest. But is this also a place for SEO? Yes! You can do SEO on your profile page only, not on the threads and replies. The minimum payout is $50.00, and your earnings depends on the activeness of your account.

What is WebCenterSurf?

I have seen this advertisement on a blog which you can gain free traffic all you want, and the one I’ve been talking about is the WebCenterSurf program. What is that anyway? It is simply a traffic exchange site which deals more offers uniquely than the other traffic exchange sites. But the question is….are they good in terms of SEO. I’m not sure of that, but still traffic exchanges don’t allow websites or blogs with Google Adsense attached. It is a violation in which you only earn fake visitors, not a real human. They have a ratio of 1:1, even as a free member. There are few types of members, which is the free and upgraded. The upgraded one will have more benefits than the free ones. It may help your site increase to the SERPS, but generally does not use SEO. But I think this site is good, just for some traffic.

Purpose of paid-to-search sites

Can anyone tell me on what’s the real purpose of the paid-to-search sites? It’s simple. It’s all about competition, and getting up to the SERPS of Google, Yahoo and Bing. Since they were search engines, they are way down below because most people don’t like to search there; instead they mostly use Google, Yahoo and Bing. Paid-to-search sites wants searchers to get paid daily, but only centavos. As an affiliate, it’s better to earn little cents than nothing. They want to move up ahead of Google, Yahoo and Bing, but definitely no chance. These three websites have the best tools and services which satisfy their customers, and eventually have their own big companies. Paid-to-search sites are just making people attract by getting paid, but not good enough. Google already has Adsense, and perfect for SEO too. Most of the paid-to-search sites are not good at all, especially in SEO.

Why Ad-ventures4u is not recommended?

A lot of members right now have joined this revenue sharing manual surf program called Ad-Ventures4u. This is specifically a family business type of program, but not really recommended. Why? Although they have good menus and features, but their revenue sharing is quite low. Let’s say for example, if you invest $10 to them, you only earn $1.00 weekly until maturity. But there’s a catch! You can compound your earnings till you receive big amounts weekly. But still, I won’t recommend them. I have been inactive there and didn’t invest a single dime. Instead, I use it for traffic purposes just to make the viewers check out my blog which is to increase traffic and sales on my Clickbank hopad. Try other revenue sites, because this site is too low in sharing……but quite stable.

Are paid to search programs legitimate?

Are you involved in get paid-to-search programs? They gonna pay you for jus searching? Generally, I have two programs that I know which really pays members from limited countries only. The ones I am talking to are My Home Page Friends program and Scour. But I don’t like both of them because we will only earn a small percentage of their revenue sharing, which you’re not allowed to search in duplicate and suspicious. They are very low in contributing to pay members who are searching. They are paying you on a NET 15 basis, meaning you will be paid the following month on the 15th day since you started doing your activity. For me, I think they are a waste of time. They’re not really good in SEO you know, and they don’t beat Google.

Two types of forum posting jobs

If you are obliged to do some forum posts, there are two types of them. One type is to post on their forums alone. They obliged you to post at least 10 daily either threads or posts, until you reach 100? 200? It really depends on the forum owner, which updated forum posts are meant to increase their chances to getting up to the SERPS of Google, Yahoo and Bing. This is one way of doing SEO, which is to maintain your forum’s activeness to the public and to the search results. Page rank and Alexa rank are meant to be the important basis when you manage and maintain your forum. The other type is a link building strategy, which the client orders you to post threads and replies to different forums, along with the signature backlinks. They’re the common ones that a webmaster may increase his or her backlinks and generating traffic as well.
