To get the most out of it, you need to define the role of the person or business handling the seo.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">What You Should Expect From A SEO Professional</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Speaking as someone who provides search engine optimization services, I can tell you there is a lot of confusion regarding the role of a seo professional. Much of this results from the acronyms and phrases used in the field. Businesses will pick them up and throw them around without really knowing what they mean. Even worse, many businesses do not know what the really want or even that they should be asking the question.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">A seo professional can fill a number of roles for a business. The simplest situation is one in which the business simply wants the seo wizard to crank up the rankings. This sounds obvious, but rarely is the case. Instead, the business is really looking for improved rankings and a little more.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">It never fails to occur. A client just wants you to move them up in the rankings. You come to an agreement on price, suggest some changes to the site and then head off to build links, etc. A week later, the client is calling with questions on conversions, purchasing banner ads and so on. Next week, they call with questions about pay-per-click and so on. This is all fine, but the hand holding can be very distracting and frustrating.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">When retaining a person or business to handle your search engine optimization efforts, it is important to step back and think about what you really need. Are you looking just for top rankings or do you want insight into your site? Are you, in fact, willing to take some advice, particularly if it is critical? Clarifying this with the seo person from the outset makes things run much smoother and keeps feelings from being ruffled.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Some companies believe they are retaining a person to simply get them high in the rankings. Others believe they are retaining a person to get them high in the rankings and advise them on their products, site, etc. The only correct answer is what you agree to when the pen is put to paper at the outset of the agreement. As a person on the seo side, I only ask that you be clear in indicating what you want from the outset.</div>

Any or all, or some of these strategies can be integrated to help increase traffic, and drive more people to your site and make it more attractive to prospective customers.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">As a marketing strategy for increasing a site&#8217;s relevance, An SEO considers how search algorithms work and know what people are lookingfor. An SEO’s efforts may involve a site&#8217;s coding, presentation, and structure, as well as fixing problems that could stop search engine indexing programs from fully spidering a site. Other, more helpful stuff may include adding unique content to a site,and making sure that the content is easily indexed by search engine robots, enabling the site to look more appealing to users.</div>

However, due to this portent for the lack of guarantees and certainty, a company that relies much on search engine traffic could suffer major losses if the search engines stop sending or attracting web visitors. According to notable web analysts, operators should liberate themselves from dependence on search engine traffic. A top ranked SEO blog, Seomoz.org, has analyzed that &#8220;Search marketers, in a twist of irony, receive a very small share of their traffic from search engines.&#8221; Instead, their main sources of traffic are links from other websites.</div>

The important term here is relevant. Content that isn’t related to your products could work against you, as it may confuse the potential customers and gives search bots the impression that you’re tricking them. A better method to add relevant content to your site is to add descriptive paragraphs about each of your products, which are placed next to your photos.

<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">1. Get listed in more search engines. There are tons of them out there. There are also many free services that will help you get listed. Or just set aside some time to get it done yourself. Here is a free search engine submission site that will let you cycle through the top 100 search engines and get your site submitted.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">2. Get listed in more directories. Again, there are a lot of them out there. Look for higher pagerank directories. Improvingrank.com has some listed by pagerank. Look on the left side of the homepage.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">3. Clean up your html and check your links. You want the bots to have smooth sailing through your site. Use the tools on W3c.org and have a real person check them over too.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">4. Get a few more links to your site. Make them relevant and at least the same pagerank as you.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">5. Make your page filenames descriptive and keyword rich. Naming your page new_page_1.html is wasting an opportunity to do some SEO. Use names that describe the content and keep the keywords flowing.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">6. Check your Title tags. You can use 90 &#8211; 100 characters in the title, so add some keywords. We know Google looks at them, and so do many more search engines.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">7. Check your ALT tags. Searchbots can’t see pictures. Make sure you have ALT tags on all of your pictures, and make sure they are descriptive and keyword rich.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">8. Rewrite your URL (anchor) tags. Good anchor tags (the text between the http: and /a tags) reinforce the message and key words of your site.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">9. Go post in a few forums and put your website in your signature. Forums are a great place to put one way links. And you can help somebody out at the same time.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">10. Put together a text based sitemap and put it on your site. There’s a lot of navigation that spiders can’t understand, such as flash, forms, java and javascript. Putting together a text-based sitemap gives the bots a way to navigate around the site.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Fifteen minutes every couple of days will make a huge difference in getting your rank higher.</div>
<p>You know all that extra time you have to work on Search Engine Optimization? [A little sarcasm there] Actually, I tried to put together a list of quick things you can do that will help you move a little higher in your Google or Yahoo results.</p>
<p>1. Get listed in more search engines. There are tons of them out there. There are also many free services that will help you get listed. Or just set aside some time to get it done yourself. Here is a free search engine submission site that will let you cycle through the top 100 search engines and get your site submitted.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It sounds like some place you go after dark that you shouldn’t go. But, backlinks are actually a good thing as far as getting noticed on the Internet goes. Keep reading and you’ll find out all about them and how they can be useful to you.</p>
<p><strong>Backlink Basics</strong></p>
<p>To put it in the simplest terms, backlinks are links from other websites and blogs back to your website. They increase your visibility on the web and also make the search engines really happy with you. It sounds easy, but getting links can take some time and effort.</p>
<p>Also, did we mention the spiders and bots? They work on behalf of the search engines. These technological marvels crawl not just content but also inbound links (backlinks) to your website. So, you’d probably figure that you can go to every website you can and post a link back to your site, wouldn’t you? In the grand scheme of things, this is not always a good idea.</p>
<p>Here’s why. Those bots are smarter than you think. They even evaluate the types of backlinks you get. For instance, let’s say that you are just beginning and are trying to establish yourself. You go to other sites and ask to exchange links with them for free. Some are readily eager so you do it. As it turns out, these sites are offensive, plagiarize content and don’t know the first thing about keyword optimization.</p>
<p>Now, all of these things won’t be true at the same time but it goes to prove a point. A poorly kept website or even a troublemaking one can lower the quality of your backlinks and thus your favor with the search engines. What you want is backlinks that are of the same or preferably better quality as your site.</p>
<p><strong>Quality Backlinks</strong></p>
<p>How do you determine quality? One way is to look at their following. Do they have a lot of readers? Are their articles rated on the first page of search engine results? Does everyone know their name (just like “Cheers”)?</p>
<p>Keep your links within your chosen niche. While there may be some gardening websites with a high search engine ranking, linking here won’t do you any good if your website sells crafting supplies. The bots look at that too.</p>
<p>So, what criteria do you need to consider when approaching the subject of backlinks?</p>
<p>• Choose similar or better quality websites to use for your backlinks<br />
• Choose websites and blogs with similar topics of interest as yours<br />
• Ask friends and family members with websites (of good rep, of course) to exchange links with you</p>
<p>Get the word out about your website. Use any resources you have available to you first and then go searching for other high-quality sites to bring you more traffic.</p>
<p>Of course if you are too busy to build your own backlinks or just don&#8217;t know where to start you can hire us to create High PR backlinks on our <a title="Buy Backlinks" href="http://www.vladworks.com/seo/seo-services/buy-backlinks/">buy backlinks</a> page.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; line-height: 19px;">We know the power of onsite seo, backlinks and other search engine optimization methods. They get you to the top of Google. Depending on how well a campaign does the higher your search position ends up being.</span></p>
<p>So you end up on the first page of Google for your highly researched keywords and you are just waiting for the traffic to roll in and make you all that money. Then you start to wonder &#8220;How many people actually click 1st place, 2nd place and all the way down?&#8221; and &#8220;Does it really make a difference to be 1st or 2nd or 3rd as far a traffic goes?&#8221;</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at those numbers and answer those burning questions.</p>
<p>There are no current stats to show what has happened in the last few years but a study in 2006 showed that the difference between positions is enough to open your eyes and work extra hard to achieve first place. Now these figures may have slightly changed since we live in a world of multi-tab browsing yet they do show just how proper SEO of your website is.</p>
<p>If you reach 1st place in Google Organic search you will receive approximately 42% of all the clicks. This number was surprising low when you think about. One would have guessed this number to be in the 80% range or so.</p>
<div id="attachment_104" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://www.vladworks.com/seo/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/google-click-through-rates.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-104" title="google-click-through-rates" src="http://www.vladworks.com/seo/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/google-click-through-rates-450x284.jpg" alt="Google click through rates based in 2006" width="450" height="284" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Google click through rates based in 2006</p></div>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; line-height: 19px;"> </span></p>
<p>The next staggering result is the google click through rate for the 2nd position. You would think that if 42% percent click on 1st place than 2nd would give at least 30%. In today&#8217;s multiple tab browser&#8217;s it is all too easy to open the top 5 searches and find the one that suits your needs best. Again this is not the case. Only about 12% of all users will click the 2nd search position. That is a 70% drop in traffic from first to second. That is astronomical when you consider popular search terms.</p>
<p>After that the drop off is quite proportionate:</p>
<ul>
<li>#3  gives you 8.5%</li>
<li>#4  gives you 6%</li>
<li>#5  gives you 5%</li>
<li>#6  gives you 4%</li>
<li>#7  gives you 3.4%</li>
<li>#8  gives you 3%</li>
<li>#9  gives you 2.8%</li>
<li>#10 gives you 3%</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family: Georgia; line-height: 19px;"> </span></p>
<p>Interest thing to note here is that 10th place gets more click through than 9th place and equal to the clicks that 8th place gets. Marginally but still when you deal in volume it can matter alot.</p>
<p>Now what about 2nd page and beyond?</p>
<p>The same study showed that 11th place or 1st place on second page received only 0.66% of all traffic and it really gets ugly after that with less than 0.4% of all traffic. Unless you are dealing with search volume in the millions 2nd page really doesn&#8217;t get you anywhere.</p>
<p>What this tells us is that it really pays to take the time to do proper SEO and get yourself as high as you really can. Obviously 1st place on Google is the holy grail but anywhere on the first page will get you some good targeted traffic.</p>
<p>If you need to <a title="buy backlinks" href="http://www.vladworks.com/seo/seo-services/buy-backlinks/">buy backlinks</a> or an <a title="affordable seo company" href="http://www.vladworks.com">affordable seo company</a> do not hesitate to contact me for a free consultation and let&#8217;s get you to that 1st spot on google now that you have seen the Google click through rates by position.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Free High PR Backlink comes courtsey of Xoops.com today.</p>
<p>Xoops is a CMS platform kind of like Joomla or Drupal or the sort like that. This means that they are open source and highly used on the internet. That of course means that Google has shown them much love and given them a solid PR 8 which is great Google juice for your website.</p>
<div id="attachment_100" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://www.vladworks.com/seo/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/free-high-pr-banklink-xoops.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-100" title="free-high-pr-banklink-xoops" src="http://www.vladworks.com/seo/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/free-high-pr-banklink-xoops-450x239.jpg" alt="Free High PR Backlink from Xoops" width="450" height="239" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Free High PR Backlink from Xoops</p></div>
<p>To get this high PR backlink just create an account and add your links and anchor text to your signature. It&#8217;s as easy as that.</p>
<p>Now I often get asked what if my website has nothing to do with software or blogging or anything like that. Well it has been proven over and over again that Google will take a authoritive backlink over a lower PR niche link. That means you could spend hours digging for obscure blogs that are in your niche and post tons of comments with your anchor link while somone uses this free high pr backlink and they will get more Google love than you will with blog commenting.</p>
<p>Now I am not saying you shouldn&#8217;t blog comment. There are many great links to be had but never discount the power of a free high pr backlink like this one.</p>
<p>For those too lazy or busy to create the profile and post their backlink you can always buy baclinks packs from my site and have them outsourced from just 0.50 per link.</p>
