			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you have a website online it is absolutely essential that you optimize the website. Without the optimization the website is simply a shell. Think of your website as a car, without an engine it can&#8217;t run, right? Well that&#8217;s the same way your website is. You can spend thousands of dollars getting it designed, making a personalized logo and you can sit there and wait for traffic as long as you want; but it might never come without the proper optimization.</p>
<p><a href="http://jay-henry.com" target=_self>Search Engine Optimization</a> allows your website to show up on the search results of engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. Without it you&#8217;re just a sitting duck. With it, however, you will receive better PR (page rank), visitors, views, and potential sales depending on what your selling. By definition, Search Engine Optimization or SEO is the process of improving incoming traffic to a website from Search Engines. This can be done naturally or organically.</p>
<p>One of the most important things that involve SEO is content on your site. As the professionals say &#8220;Content Is King.&#8221; You want your site to be content rich with many different keywords within the site and through the content on your site. For instance, if your website is about electronics, then you would want to include keywords about DVDs, MP3s, TVs, etc. Of course SEO goes a lot farther than just the actual content on your website, it also has to do with the tags, meta tags, titles, and coding on your website.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have the right keywords or tags on your site, you can never be found. Unfortunately a lot of people have no idea how to do these types of things so that they will show up on the results of the search engines and this is where the professionals come in! Last month I was looking around online for a few businesses that could actually do the <a href="http://jay-henry.com/rssbot">SEO process</a> for me on my website because I am absolutely clueless when it comes to that stuff and I found some really cool sites that can seriously help you out.</p>
<p>These optimizers won&#8217;t only help you optimize your website so that you become indexed, show up on search engines, and get a better page rank but, they also introduce something called localized search engine optimization which allows you to place keywords and tags on your site that will bring localized users to your website.</p>
<p>This is terrific if you have a website that is localized and want to receive people that are specifically looking for you. So instead of having tags like &#8220;Electronics&#8221; on your website, you can do something like &#8220;Electronics In Vegas&#8221; or &#8220;Electronic Stores In Vegas&#8221;. This will not only bring you visitors from around the world but it will also bring fellow Vegas people directly to your website. Plus you can better PR with something that has a localized tag rather than a broad tag like Electronics.</p>
<p>This will bring you a ton of business! If you have a website and you are not getting traffic, views, sales, etc; you might really want to consider hiring someone on. These optimizers are cost efficient, time efficient, and they could raise your profit margin within your business! This is something you really need in order to &#8220;make it&#8221; in whatever industry you might be in as of now. I know for me personally, it has helped me out tremendously.</p>
<p>First off I didn&#8217;t have to do any hardcore reading or researching and I didn&#8217;t have to go through the headache of trying to figure out SEO by myself which also saved me a lot of time. Secondly, I may have spent a few bucks to pay the master optimizer but in turn I ended up making threefold simply because my website shows up on Google a lot more now! And lastly, I finally have the comfort in knowing that I can count on someone to make my website &#8220;work&#8221; for me, instead of the other way around! In the end, this could really take a lot of stress out of your life so you can start focusing more on your business and less on your website!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://jay-henry.com" target=_self>Search Engine Optimization</a> or SEO is the method of bettering the level and standard of traffic to a website from search engines through &#8220;natural&#8221; (algorithmic or organic) search results. Usually, the sooner a website comes out in the search results page, the higher number of visitors it would get from the search engine. Search Engine Optimization might aim towards various types of search, such as local search, image search and industry-wise vertical search engines.</p>
<p>SEO is an important Internet marketing plan. It reflects on what people look for on the Internet and in what manner the search engines function. To optimize a website, it is very much essential that its HTML coding and content is revised for both enhancing its significance to particular keywords and getting rid of obstacles to the search engine indexing activities.</p>
<p>The short form &#8220;SEO&#8221; may also denote search engine optimizers, an expression that is assumed by an industry of advisors who perform optimization tasks on their clients behalf and by employees who carry out SEO operations on an in-house basis.</p>
<p>Search engine optimizers might provide <a rel="dofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.onpointesolutions.com">SEO</a> as an independent service or as a segment of a wider marketing drive. Since efficient Search Engine Optimization might necessitate alterations to the HTML source code of a website, SEO strategies might be included into website design and web development. The expression &#8220;search engine friendly&#8221; can be applied to delineate content management systems, menu, website designs and shopping carts (software applied in e-commerce) that are simple to optimize.</p>
<p>Spamdexing or black hat SEO is another category of methods that applies techniques like keyword stuffing or link farms that deteriorate both the user knowledge of search engines and the significance of search results. Search engines search for websites that make use of these methods for the purpose of eliminating them from their indices.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you have a website, blog, squidoo lens or any other type of site? Are trying to make money through natural search engine positioning? If you are then you better learn how to get quality <a href="http://jay-henry.com/Backlinks" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://jay-henry.com/Backlinks';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">backlinks</a>, and lots of them. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
I build small niche websites, and then count on search engine traffic to sell products/services from my sites. To do this I have to do some keyword research to make sure it&#8217;s possible to dominate that term. I also have to do some great SEO tactics on my page. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
More than that I have to build <a href="http://jay-henry.com/Backlinks">backlinks</a> and tons of them. I do a variety of things to build<a href="http://jay-henry.com/Backlinks"> backlinks</a>, some are boring and tedious and some have been outsourced so I can focus my time on more profitable endeavors. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
I know there are some basic ways to build links and I have been brainstorming some other ways as well.  I think I have come up with some interesting ways to build some links, so I&#8217;m going to share them with you.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Free Link Building Ideas</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
<a href="http://jay-henry.com/ArtBot2">Article Marketing</a> ~ add your link with keyword anchor text in your resource box</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Forum Posts ~ add your link with keyword anchor text in your sig file</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
<a href="http://jay-henry.com/BlogBot">Blog  Comments</a> ~ keyword in the &#8220;name&#8221; area, and then your url. (will create a hot link with anchor text)</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Comments at Ezine Articles ~ this one just occurred to me recently. I checked the source code and they do not appear to use the &#8220;no follow&#8221; attribute, so google should count these links.  You may even get traffic from these too.  I just enter my main keyword, and add a relevant comment to the article.  I use this like I would a blog comment with my keyword in the name area and then my url.  You have to wait for EZA to approve your comment, but it&#8217;s worth it.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Set up Google Alert for keywords ~ each time I set up a new site I also set up a google alert for the keyword. I only choose to get alerts from blogs. Now each time someone posts a blog on my keyword I know about it and can get over there and add a comment.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
<a href="http://jay-henry.com/BlogBot">Build free Blogs</a> ~ Build a blog at wordpress.com, blogger, tumblr or wherever. You can do this blog on a related topic and add your site in the blogroll. This will give you a link for each page you publish on this blog.  I use PLR for these blogs, and just change up the articles a little bit so they are more original. You can also add links within the articles to your blog for added links.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Hubpages and Squidoo ~ build pages at both of these free sites.  Make sure to add a link to your site using keywords as your anchor text.  At squidoo you can also add a link to your product or service you are promoting.  Depending on how you want to use Hubpages I would be careful adding links to affiliate products over there. I just use hubpages as a way to get one more link from a quality source to my new niche site.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Myspace ~ set up a myspace profile and only add friends that are related to your niche site.  You can quickly and easily do this with myspace friend adder software like Friend Blaster Pro.  You can then use any/all the article you have written for your site and/or blogs as bulletins to send to your friends list or on your myspace blog.  This will get you nice <a href="http://jay-henry.com/Backlinks" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://jay-henry.com/Backlinks';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">backlinks</a> as well as targeted traffic.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Zimbio ~ this site is new to me. I have used it for my squidoo lenses, by adding my lensmaster <a href="http://jay-henry.com/rssbot">RSS feed url</a> from Squid Utils it will post each new lens I write on Zimbio.  You can do this with the RSS feeds for each of your sites, including your main niche site, as well as any free blogs you set up. Make sure to do this first so it will catch all your articles as you put them up.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
<a href="http://jay-henry.com/dirbot">Directory Submission</a> ~ there are tons of directories you can add your site url to.  I set the timer for 30 minutes and just go as fast as I can submitting. I do this at least once a day for 30 minutes.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Wis.dm ~ A fun little site where you can ask a question.  There is space for you to submit a url where people can find the answer. Just think of a question that relates to your niche and then add your site url in the space provided.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Twitter ~ not sure how good this is for <a href="http://jay-henry.com/Backlinks" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://jay-henry.com/Backlinks';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">backlinks</a>, but if you have some people following you, it might be worth sending a quick tweet about your new site.  You might just mention you found a cool site etc, so as not to give away all your niches <img src='http://jay-henry.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
If you want to take things to the next level there are also <a href="http://jay-henry.com/Backlinks">services</a> you can join to build links. They work a few different ways. You generally pay a monthly fee to join. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
I keep remembering recently reading a comment that really stuck with me. It was said you should be spending 90% of your time building links. When I thought about how much time I was spending in this area it was probably about .5%. Stay focused, and set up a system for yourself and you too can build tons of great <a href="http://jay-henry.com/Backlinks" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://jay-henry.com/Backlinks';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">backlinks</a>.</p>
<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;">
<div class="text">
<p>If you need an <a rel="dofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.onpointesolutions.com">internet marketing strategy</a> to successfully set up niche websites and get the <a href="http://jay-henry.com/Backlinks" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://jay-henry.com/Backlinks';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">backlinks</a> to them, you&#8217;re not alone.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have probably been hearing a lot about SEO on the Internet these days. If you still have no idea what the fuss is all about, then you&#8217;ve come to the right place. Basically, <a href="http://jay-henry.com" target=_self>Search Engine Optimization</a> or SEO is one of many strategies website owners could employ to drive more visitors to their sites and boost their profits. SEO specialists apply various strategies to target the top spot, or the first page, of a search engine results page (SERP) when search engine users key in particular keywords in relation to the products or services offered by a website.</p>
<p>&#13;Search engine optimization could be targeted for any or a combination of the following types of search engines: crawler-based, human-powered, and pay-for-performance search engines. SEO has grown in popularity over the past few years because as studies indicate, online searches via search engine is the top activity online only followed by email and chat.</p>
<p>&#13;Google and Yahoo, both crawler-based, are the most popular search engines today, carrying the bulk of keyword searches on the net. They employ &#8220;bots,&#8221; which crawl all websites and index these sites in their repositories. Once a search is made using your targeted keywords, the engines pull out all relevant pages it could find. If your website ranks high and appears on the first pages, the more visitors your website is likely to get. This is why SEO specialists target the top spot of SERPs.</p>
<p>&#13;Search engine optimization could be applied on-page or off-page. Successful webmasters have learned to make use of the two aspects efficiently. To put it simply, on-page optimization involves tweaking your content and your HTML/CSS tags so that your pages are given higher ranking by the search engine bots. On-page optimization involves, doing keyword research and placing your targeted keywords strategically within your content and your HTML page.</p>
<p>&#13;On the other hand, off-page optimization involves link marketing, monitoring your search engine rankings, and paid online advertising. Link building is about building a link neighborhood with other pages or sites with similar content as yours. Having web pages with high page rank to post a link leading to your own page will help boost your page ranking.</p>
<p>&#13;Link building is also done by submitting your pages to online directories and ensuring the quality of inbound links, which lead from other sites to your pages. Link exchange., when done ethically, could reap huge benefits for a website.</p>
<p>&#13;Basic &#8220;good&#8221; or white hat SEO techniques focus on keywords and their proper use. You need to know the popular terms for your website topic. For this you can use keyword suggestion tools and your own familiarity with the topic. For a topic about SEO, possible search terms may include &#8220;what is SEO,&#8221; &#8220;search engine optimization,&#8221; &#8220;<a href="http://jay-henry.com/Backlinks">how to get more traffic</a>,&#8221; etc.</p>
<p>&#13;Avoid black hat techniques, as they will only lead to a bad reputation, suspension by search engines, bad karma or worse. Such techniques include keyword overuse or keyword stuffing, link farming or buying paid links, and duplication of identical pages. It would earn only short-term success at best, and at worst can get your site banned. Most successful websites have found success using pure white hat techniques and hard work. There&#8217;s no reason why you can&#8217;t do the same.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Building your website with search engine appeal &#8211; or search engine optimization &#8211; is more art than science but experience has shown that there are some very useful guidelines. The question is, why bother? With effective optimization you&#8217;ll attract free website traffic that the search engines will send you. Free traffic goes a long way towards not only making your site income-generating but, hopefully, profit-generating as well.</p>
<p>With search engine optimization you might even receive a high traffic volume. Let&#8217;s just say you have  a  conversion to successful sales with 5 to 10 percent of your traffic. If you get a hundred hits or more a day, you get a good number of sales already. If you get only twenty or so hits a day, you only get one or two sales if any at all. Higher traffic, especially if it&#8217;s free, means potentially higher revenue.</p>
<p>Search engine optimization involves a variety of methods for making your site appealing to the search engines, such as having relevant keywords, title and content.   It also helps to have other similar sites linking to yours. The aim is to have your site listed in the search engine results and apearing in, preferably,  the first two  or three pages. The higher the better. This will ensure that your site is displayed in answer to public inquiries as being possibly relevant. In turn, this increases public awareness and directs more traffic to your site &#8211;  traffic that could lead to potential sales, revenue and profit.</p>
<p>There are many locations on the internet that can help you improve <a href="http://jay-henry.com" target=_self>Search Engine Optimization</a>, including those that help in tracking keyword phrases.  For instance, the free Yahoo/Overture Suggestion Tool, as well as many commercial keyword analyzers. There are also some content writers and article directories that can provide suitable keyword-laden content for you. </p>
<p>However, most people performing a search examine only the ten top results, which are on the first page. Those entries further down the list languish, with little attention. So making it to the top three pages is a barometer of a site&#8217;s success in search engine optimization as you will get more people clicking through to your site when you have a higher ranking on these pages.  And, as mentioned, more traffic means more business for you. </p>
<p>As you might have guessed, search engine optimization may require a fair bit of work to be fully realized. For instance, researching the keyword phrases that are popular for your niche or theme. </p>
<p>You may also need to rewrite your site&#8217;s contents so that you get the right keyword phrases in your site without making it too awkward to read. There are useful guidelines that can be followed to assist with this.</p>
<p>Also consider collaborating with other web sites to obtain link exchanges and page transfers. Having inbound links definitely increases search engine appeal. Possibly the best way of gaining these is to write quality articles on the subject of your website and submit them to article directories for others to use. This generates desirable one-way links from those who post your articles on their websites, and they have usually  selected your article because of its  relevance!</p>
<p>When you need help just search the internet. Tips, guidelines and methods for search engine optimization are abundant and easily found. There are also many articles freely available that can help you optimize your website. Just posing the question on Google or inquiring at your favorite article directory will quickly locate some of these. The more informed you are the better. But resist the temptation to buy ebooks when so much free information is available. </p>
<p>This all helps in getting those high rankings. It may require a little time and effort but the benefits can be astounding. </p>
<p>E-commerce is a cut throat business. You have to arm yourself with the knowledge and tools needed to make your site a cut above the rest. Each day, more and more sites clamber for higher rankings and, if you get careless, you may just get trampled and be left in cyber dust. </p>
<p>In recent years, and in the foreseeable future,  search engines have been the most widely used internet sources of information. Use them well and prosper.</p>
<p>However, even with effective optimization in place, don&#8217;t just rest on your laurels; it is a continuing process. Check your ranking from time to time and also have a good look at what the top sites for a keyword are doing. Why do they have a higher ranking? What do you have to do to secure the top spot? Each day is a new day for all e-commerce sites or, as Scarlet O&#8217;Hara said: &#8220;Tomorrow is another day!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all have heard that search engines are the number one resource for consumers to research and buy products or services online. In fact, marketing studies have shown that over 70% of web surfers use search engines to locate online merchants. The ramification of this statistic is simple: if you want to reach the members of your target market you need to make sure that your business web site appears in popular search engines.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>Search engine optimization (SEO) can help you achieve this. SEO is a crucial online marketing technique. It helps you to get your web site to appear in search engine result pages (SERPs) for keywords that that are relevant to your business. For example, if you are a business coach, and someone is searching for &#8220;business coach&#8221;, it would be great for your business if your web site appears in the first 10 results.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>So what exactly is <a href="http://jay-henry.com" target=_self>Search Engine Optimization</a>? SEO includes selecting the best keywords for the body of the page as well as other page elements (the title tag, keyword and description meta tags, etc.) Carefully chosen keywords provide &#8220;hints&#8221; that search engines use to classify your site and to determine whether your site should appear for certain search keywords. On-page keyword optimization by itself will help your rankings. However, holistic search engine optimization is required to achieve optimal results. For the best placement, focus on SEO as a whole, rather than concentrate on a particular technique.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>Here are a few important elements of holistic search engine optimization:</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;<br />
Have good content. After all, content is king (or queen, whichever the case may be). Without content there isn&#8217;t much of a site. The content must walk a fine line between providing useful content and including sufficient and relevant keywords for search engines.&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>Often it is difficult to optimize your product or service pages for search engines, since the main goal of these items is to showcase the benefits of your offer. On the other hand, it is easier to optimize blog posts and articles. In fact, you can create entire articles and blog posts around keywords that are popular with your target market.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>Have consistent navigation. Both your web site visitors and search engine spiders navigate your web site through links that connect different pages. Consistent navigation ensures that your visitors can reach every page on your web site from every other page. On top of that, you will you get the most out of your search engine optimization efforts.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Get links to your site. Links to your web site play a very important role in holistic search engine optimization. Many popular search engines evaluate your web site&#8217;s popularity based on counting the number of links that point to your site. The more popular your web site is, the better rankings it gets on search engines. The best links are links from reputable, quality web site that have complimentary or related content.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>You can get links to your web site by using a variety of techniques, such as writing articles, participating in link exchanges, and participating in online networking.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#13;</p>
<p>Take a holistic approach to web site optimization. Apply SEO to your web site as a whole, and always evaluate the overall impact of your marketing efforts. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a fine line between proper search engine optimization, and what a search engine will consider to be spam.  As we all know, not all <a href="http://jay-henry.com" target=_self>Search Engine Optimization</a> methods are ethical.  Search engines, such as Google, are making every effort to try to differentiate between ethical internet marketers and those who are simply taking the &#8220;easy&#8221; way out with spam.</p>
<p>The definition of spam, however, has been something of a debatable topic for many search engine optimization experts.  The reason that everybody is working so hard to define it is because when it comes time to search engine optimize, there is a grey area between what is spam, and what is not.  What is ethical marketing, and what is not.  For a word that is so commonly utilized, spam is a very difficult thing to pinpoint and around which to place boundaries.  An internet marketer would not want to inadvertently have their site penalized after all of the time and effort they have put toward making the site as search engine optimized as possible. </p>
<p>In theory, the difference is that a &#8220;non-spam&#8221; website that is truly meant for content, selling a product or service, and is optimized so that its content &#8211; which has value to the reader &#8211; is most attractive among search engines.  On the other hand, a &#8220;spam&#8221; website is created for marketing purposes only. It has no real informational value and its content is worthless except for its attempts to achieve a search engine ranking. </p>
<p>Such spam sites can include those that have pages copied directly from other websites that are not of public domain.  They might also include pages that are simply lists of keywords, instead of articles that happen to use the keywords among their information.  Another kind of spam site is one that appears to either be blank or have text or images on it, but it also has hidden text in the background that has keywords repeated over and over, or simply in lists.  This is done by making the text color and the background color the same color so that it is not visible to the reader.</p>
<p>However, some would argue that creating a site, such as one with keywords hidden in the background, is not unethical at all.  The reason they argue for its validity is that it does not try to fool the search engine in any way, and it is unobtrusive to the viewer.  Computers can see the text in plain sight, it is only the human eye that does not detect it.</p>
<p>However, by doing this, it reduces the chances of sites that are based on legitimate information and keywording techniques.  These have been carefully created to include the right words, without taking away from the information and appearance of the site.  It means that the sites for whom the keywords are truly relevant have a lower chance at achieving proper search engine ranking.</p>
<p>To prevent such efforts, search engines have employed such techniques as penalizing web sites and web pages that include information that has been copied directly from other sites.  They also penalize pages and sites that have the same word repeated too many times in its content.  There are other rules that are utilized as well, but they differ from search engine to search engine.  </p>
<p>Penalization from a search engine can mean anything from assigning a very low rank, to blocking it from being indexed altogether.  Naturally, when you are a legitimate site, you will want to avoid such punishment at all costs.  Therefore, when you are performing your search engine optimization, it is important that you take care not to break the &#8220;spam&#8221; rules of the search engines.  This includes one very important technique: when in doubt, err to the side of safety.  It&#8217;s much better to achieve rank number two instead of number one, when you risk being kicked out altogether.</p>
<p>It is not difficult to search engine optimize legitimately.  Simply create your own original copy, and write naturally, refraining from repeating your keywords so many times that things look a little bit &#8220;fishy&#8221;.  The same thing goes for repeating the same website under a number of different domain names.  Just keep yourself unique and natural, and all will work out in your favor with the search engines.</p>
