Giving a good SEO and SEM education

If you're a graduate of Information Technology course, what would you suggest to your beloved university? We'll for me, I want to implement a course subject called SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and SEM (Search Engine Marketing). I really don't know where I could find such SEO books there, but only e-books I have in my database, which are free to download.

I want to buy a real book related to SEO and SEM, so that when the time comes if this subject is for real, I could be a part-time instructor there in the university I will soon graduate this October. If Management Information System has a topic about SEO, no problem but I think it only ends up on basic and advanced HTML. I will wait for that day.

Implementing a study about SEO

Are you interested about studying SEO? We'll for me, it's a yes. What happens if I want to conduct a basic research study about SEO, it could be obvious for us and it's imposible. If you are taking up Information Technology course, is it possible that one of the professors in the IT department are gonna discuss to us about SEO? It is an interesting subject you know, unless you can organize it to make it as one of your subjects in a semester.

In basic study relations, if you're going to put up a SEO company, can you follow the exact format of your plan? We'll I think it is difficult and challenging, but more interesting for the students as well. If we are using SEO on educational purposes, SEO will grow more in the near future.

What's so special about shopping bookmarks?

As many people were attracted through social bookmarks, why is it so special anyway? What is the specialty of a shopping bookmark compare to social bookmarks? Is it a good chance for SEO purposes to promote your products? Or can you make good friends with other shoppers all around the world of shopping bookmarks? We'll thr truth is, all of them could be the reason. It's difference is to form a community of shoppers who wants to buy and sell their own products.

But what about the other sites that lets shoppers unite in one place? Places like eBay and Amazon are for bidding who will be the winner of that item base on the price they want. Shopping forums may also be a good source when they want to buy and sell their own products, especially shopping blogs. They can do SEO there if they want. But through shopping bookmarks, one place not you could share and express what the products you want to buy and sell, but also SEO is a part of it.

A great social bookmarking offer like no other

I think about two days ago, I saw an ad on DigitalPoint that he will pay $0.10 for every shopping item submitted both Kaboodle and StyleHive. So I sent him a personal message about this job, and I am interested on it and he hired me. Right now I’m focusing on Kaboodle, and in just one day I completed 249 submisssions and only 251 to go before I get paid $0.10 x 500 submissions = $50.00. Then I can go to StyleHive which also pays me the same rate after my Kaboodle work is done, and again the same $50.00, for a total of $100.00.

I did suggest to him that not only Kaboodle and StyleHub were the shopping bookmarks existed today, but there are so many of them. I asked my client if I want to do more in other social and shopping bookmarks, he’s very interested to pay the same rate. So meaning every bookmark which I submit 500 links = $50.00. That’s big bucks for me, and doing the SEO way! It’s a big offer for me like no other!

Apsense is an attractive social networking

Have you heard about Apsense? It is a social networking community not only lets you enjoy making friends there online through joining groups, posting blogs and classified ads, participating on any events, create your own business store, but also you make money there. But how can you possibly make money there in Apsense? And speaking of profiles, business store, blogs and classified ads, you can do SEO there by placing your links or banners direct to your website as a backlink.

You will earn money through blog viewing, which I forgot about the rate and it pays per impression, which means you are only paid every time your blog is viewed 1,000 times. If you have more attractive blogs, the more chances you can generate traffic and visitors as well, and then you earn money. Minimum payout is $50 through Paypal, and many got paid already, only once a month. This is another place for SEO strategy.

Shopping bookmarks are really attractive after all

In a challenging but easy task on submitting products to shopping bookmarks, you can be easily attracted because of the shopping items you ever seen, and not only that, it also acts as a social networking or community company like MySpace, Friendster, Facebook and Twitter. I’m currently submitting different salon products I was paid for to Kaboodle and StyleHub, and soon to other shopping social bookmarks, which are many of them existed.

Their script and template are very attractive, together with their menus and features. It’s so easy to submit a link to Kaboodle and StyleHub, and if I am obliged to do 500 links submitted, I would have done that in a day or two. Since I have a busy schedule, at least three days will do. Anyway, shopping bookmarks like Kaboodle and StyleHub makes me attracted after all.

Creating your own shopping bookmark?

Is it possible that we can create our own shopping bookmark? I think so, but how? We might learn from the experts about it? Or can we just learn it from ourselves? But for me, yes! Anyone can start their own shopping bookmark site! Shopping bookmarks functions like eBay and Amazon, which allows you to sell and auction items in a free way. But there's a catch! There's no such bidding here, because you only submitting the complimentary one which redirects the visitor to the original site.

This is another way of doing SEO and it's considered a social bookmark too. All we have to do is learn how to do it from the very beginning, together with Adsense, Clickbank and other revenue sharing sites, shopping bookmarks are more marketable and more viewable by most users, especially when you do the SEO thing!

Managing more social bookmarks than one

I have browsed all over the internet to search some of the huge list of do-follow social bookmarks and I found a database site which I'm yet to mentioned about that, which has over 200+ do-follow social bookmarks existed, even MySpace, Facebook and Twitter were included on the top results. I saw some sites which they also have more than one social bookmarks being handled, but I don't like to mention their name.

Why is it that they won't stick to just one social bookmark? Ah I get it! Notice that all of them uses revenueads like Google Adsense, Clickbank, Chitika, Bidvertiser and other clickable ads, every time I visit pages of their stories together with the links, a revenue ad appeared between or within the post. It is part of another SEO strategy which they have to strengthen their revenue income which two or more social bookmarks are worth to be one of your own, but could be difficult in maintaining them.

Teaching SEO to others could be hard

If someone is interested about SEO, do you have the guts to teach them one by one? Or you would rather let them research what SEO is all about? As for me, I think both options are quite necessary enough. Let's take a look on how we compare teaching SEO manually and learning SEO online.

In manual mode, when you want one on one, you have to know what SEO is all about, and the ways of doing it. You haqve to be expert in doing that, and you will be getting paid for coaching them about SEO, but it's quite hard to teach them manually but good enough. On the other hand, if they self study on what SEO is all about, there's nothing to be paid but some terms which are not understood to you might confuse you a lot and you need a lot of research about the terms.

It is how the nature of teaching SEO manually and learning SEO online.

iTrader being trusted?

Have you been so familiar about the so-called iTrader? In DigitalPoint forums, they have enabled iTrader and what could that mean? It means the number of good and bad feedbacks are being recorded. If you have a positive feedback from your client, then your iTrader will be added +1, but if it's negative, your iTrader will be deducted. Why is it even you have a lot of good feedbacks rather than negatove ones, or even no negatives, why would still sensitive to them?

They are considered strangers you know, because you deal with the person whom you don't know. As for me, even I have 32 good and only one bad, my client still won't trust me to pay in full, instead he pay me half upfront, and another half when I'm done with the report and submit to him successfully. That's life you know, it depends on the attitude and sensitivity of the person, whenever the work is related to SEO, content, designing and other freelance related jobs.

GPTBoycott banned my account!

I don't know what the hell did they ban my account? They suspected that my IP address was the same as other people who are involved about this, and that's why I get banned. I don't know if this forum is do-follow or not. But the thing is, we always follow the rules and as so far I know, I really ignored them. I'm just doing SEO there on GPTBoycott because I wanna increase my backlinks and my others' backlinks which they paid me for doing that.

The rule as a beginner is not to make your own signature until you have 10 legitimate posts, and I ignored them about it and just keep posting with backlinks which I assume that below my text is a signature before the underline word. The easily detect that because they're smart when someone wants to do SEO here in GPTBoycott. In the end, they banned my account and would never lift it again.

I'm firing up on SEO!

Looks like this is gonna be a challenging day for me starting today, both in SEO and in school. Why? Because starting today, I already have 3 huge projects to work on for SEO and one in school. What are my big three SEO projects anyway?

1. Client 1 = 100 Press Release Submissions + 300 Article/Blog Directory Submissions + 3 Contents for each SEO category.
2. Client 2 = 1,000 Forum Signature Backlinks + 1,000 Web Directories + 100 Social Bookmarks
3. Client 3 = Submitting 500+ products to StyleHive and Kaboodle

On the other hand in my school, we will have our pre-oral defense this week about our business plan study about our resort. Can I handle this and survive? We'll find out soon enough!

Shortcuts on DigitalPoint are very amusing

I can see why most thread starters are using shortcuts when they want to buy, sell and trade their services before their title of the thread. This is a thing which is very unique and innovative as well as DigitalPoint forums is now popular worldwide for webmasters, SEO and freelancers only. So how could we define like these:

1. [WTB] - it means a client wants to buy services from sellers depends on the job he wants them to do.

2. [WTS] - it means a client wants to sell services to buyers depends on the job they offer him to do.

3. [WTT] - it means a client wants to trade his services for another client's services depends on the job they both want to do.

4. [WTH] - it means a client wants to hire someone to do jobs for him.

This is also applied in any SEO, webmaster and freelance related forums like V7N, Netbuilders, WarriorForum, NamePros and WickedFire.

Do-follow researching job?

I saw a thread in Digitalpoint today that a guy wants a researcher on do-follow forums on different niches, and it's a long term job. So how can we determine if the site is do-follow or not. Simple. If you are running Mozilla Firefox, you can just download the Do-Follow add-on and it simply detects the links whether they're do-follow or not. Blue highlighted links represents do-follow, but red highlighted links represents no-follow at all. If I were to apply with this guy, since he doesn't state on how much charge do I want for him, it's very hard to find do-follow forums than no-follow.

I can charge him around $0.30 to $0.40 per forum researched, but I'm not yet sure of his budget. I deserve this kind of amount because its an effort that you put hard onto it. So I hope I know what I'm doing. Still part of his SEO strategy to build more backlinks in different forum niches.

Submitting sites to Kaboodle and StyleHive

I have given a task by my client Andrew to submit more than 500+ sites to Kaboodle and StyleHive worth $0.10 each. So if I submit 500 sites to Kaboodle and another 500 to StyleHive, it's a total of $100! Wow, so I took the job a day ago. I thought it was very difficult since I took time on how to add a site. First, I use Kaboodle to submit 500+ sites which my client gave me the list of items or URL to the items he sell. Then, I create my own list and see the "add new item" and it's simple, I just copy or type the URL and it automatically detects all the details and all I need is to put tags and comments which is optional.

Very easy job for me. Another SEO related job because this is a social bookmarking service. he wants to promote every item URL in one site so that many will be attracted, and it's all salon and parlor products. Piece of cake. Woohoo!

Bringing life to forums - Part 5

Now here comes the final episode of this topic, and after we applied what we have done, it's time to do the SEO way. That's right! It will build more backlinks to other sites. So how can we do SEO in your forum? There are lots of ways to do that, and here are the following:

1. Forum signature backlink, profile or avatar.

2. Web directories

3. Blog/Article/Press Release directories (you need to write a content for them)

4. Social bookmarks/media/networking

5. One-way permanent backlink to other high PR sites

6. Angela and Paul's backlink method

7. Deep link directories

8. RSS feed directories

9. Classified ads

10. Etc.

So now you know how to bring your forum to life, and you always keep doing that. Apply it for yourself!

Bringing life to forums - Part 4

So let's get back to our show shall we? Content is one way to lift up the image of your forum, and one thing for sure.....about the payments shall we? Let's say you want to pay them by Paypal for 10 posts each and they will receive only $1.00? Too bad for their hard effort just to make $1.00? If we go back to the first or second part of this episode, if that candidate wishes to go all alone and not hiring others anymore, he will take care of ther 100 posts and make about $10? Not bad actually. It's still a great SEO strategy, as you instruct him about the do's and dont's.

Another thing which reflects the image of the forum is the template and script. If you use phBB or vBulletin, no problem at all and the template you wanna use to be unique and hard to find as you need to pay them to match the uniqueness of your forum. It depends on the niche of your forum, and the template and pictures should be related. The structure and topics should also be observed in proper order.

Stay tuned for the last part of this exciting topic!

Bringing life to forums - Part 3

In the first two parts of this topic, we know how the rates are going and to build more members in the forum. We'll now, since this is the continuation, we now go to how well did your applicants posted in your forum. You can act as a juror or a judge because of what they posted, it may affect your SEO strategies. But how? It looks like as an owner of the forum, your posts from your members are in good quality and shape, or in short is a good content. What can we rely on to them?

1. Posts must not be spammy.

2. No copy pasting other's content in any forum, website or blog.

3. No such grammatical errors and punctuations, as English is the primary language.

4. Signatures must not be related to adult, gambling, steroids or illegal type

5. Members should not post anything out of the topic or not being relevant, or in a section which the topic is not appropriate.

Part four is coming right up guys! Stay tuned!

Bringing life to forums - Part 2

Going back to the previous topic in making your forum so alive and so destined, building more members needs to be achieved. What can we do in order to let them motivated? For example, if you have a budget of $100 to your clients, what would you do? And what kind of payment plan are you up to, since your SEO plan could be much worth? We'll let's see about this situation:

1. If you want the post to become $0.10, then you can only hire 8-9 applicants, for a total of $90 paid. But what about the $10? You can use and save it for future use of your forum.

2. If you want the post to become $0.05 to $0.08, then you can only hire about 15-17 clients, and the rest of your budget will be kept for future use of your forum.

We're not done yet, because we are still on the 2nd part, and 3rd part is coming right at you!

Bringing life to forums - Part One

Imagine if you want to start a forum by yourself, it's so easy to setup only you have some good knowledge and analyzation. When you want your forum to become alive, you have to prepare yourself. It's time to do your SEO thing! First of all, you need to build up members right? All you need to do is to have a little budget for yourself which you invested yourself in your forum like web hosting and domain charges and the templates and scripts you have bought. One way to do it is to find freelance jobs so that you can maintain your forum, or if you have a regular job, no problem.

Mostly, the applicants wants a rate of $0.10 per post, and others have a bulk price of $0.05 to $0.08 per post because of little budget. If we compare the bulk and the higher rates, you might be stunned of the advantage and disadvantage of the two types of prices.

Stay tuned!
