Search Engine Internet Marketing, Tucson SEO

So where did it all begin. Some of the first internet marketing I did was on Ebay back in the late 90s.  I began by selling odd ball things here and there and this worked great, up until I ran out of things around the house to sell.  I loved the new hobbie I found so it couldn’t stop there. The next move I made was getting myself set up with a drop ship company which gave me the opportunity to sell car audio supplies and other electronics online.  Let me tell you what a headache this was.  After selling a product,  sometimes I’d followup with the drop ship company who was supposed to ship it only to find it was now out of stock or discontinued. Great, I thought, thanks for the heads up pale.  Now I had to return the buyers payment and lose any credibility I had with that customer. Continue Reading »

A google bomb is done by pointing hundreds or thousands of links to a page to obtain great search results on a single keyword phrase.  One of the most famous google bombs was that of George Bush’s Bio page bombed in 2004.  Still till this day if you type in “miserable failure” in yahoo, it will come up.  Google fixed it, so they say… Continue Reading »

To stay in tune, I decided to do a free seo review on a local tucson mortgage consultant. When I did a search in Google for ( tucson loans ), I found this Tucson loan consultant’s website on page 10 of Google. When I did another search for ( tucson home loans ) he was found on page 1. Good for him. I feel he really stands a shot for higher rankings for great keywords as well as more keywords. I believe a few “primer” onsite changes could really benefit this site.

Sometimes its good to take a break off the computer, internet marketing and the whole seo addiction. I had to take my break this weekend due to some home maintenance issues. First thing I had to do was figure out every time I took a shower my whole bathroom would end up flooded. I sat on the tub edge, turned the faucet on and sat for a couple minutes. After some time went by water started gushing out the crack from the bottom of the toilet. The first thing we did was dig around for a cleanout but had no luck. It’s a pretty old build so who knows if there even is one. Im not sure what the development standards were back in the early 60s. Anyways, I figured I had something pretty badly plugged up down the line so my father, “the jack of all trades”, and I went down to home depot and rented a 75′ Snake for about $60 (4 hours). We then took the toilet up and started snaking it down the drain. Having to deal with too many corners we decided to pull the equipment onto the roof and snake it through that access.

An Seo will use a number of techniques to separate the mud from great link building opportunities. One way to do this is by learning how to search.

If you search for add link, your going to get a crazy amount of results and most will not be worth your researching effort. Start narrowing your results by placing terms within quotes.

“your keyword” “add site”

“your keyword” “submit site”

“your keyword” “submit article”

Now you can take it a step further and specify an extension. Links built on trusted educational websites can help give your rankings a nudge.

“submit website” site:.edu
“your keyword resources” site:.edu (find these and ask to be added, it’s worth it)

Since I’ve been learning more about PHP I decided to discuss one way I use it to help provide readers the code to link to a page they may feel is worthy of a link. With just a small snippet of PHP the code, linking code will update to link to the previous page or post the reader was reading. There has been a couple times I came across pages and debated whether or not to link out to it. If the website had a convenient “link to us” page for the specific page I was reading, im may of went ahead and placed the resource on my website. People are busy, lazy and sometimes just lacking the motivation to link out to you even if your page is a great resource. Convenience may be the one thing that can initiate a great back link.

Does the Title of your site contain related keywords?

Title tags will play a great role in where your website will rank for specific keywords.  Make sure your targeted keywords are presented naturally within your title.

Does the Title of your site have 8 words or less?

Having a title that is straight and to the point will increase click throughs from visitors who find your page within the search engine results.

Is the title of your site different on each page?
Having the same title across each page can get your rank penalized and lets not forget you will probably lose the opportunity to rank for more specific keywords relating to your products. For your inner pages, design specific page titles while keeping the above guidelines in mind.
