Happy Thanksgiving from SEIM, The Tucson Seo
Just thought I’d wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving. A time for old traditions as well as new. I’d like to also say, “Chin Up” to all Detroit Lion Fans. 47-10, Ouch. My brother-in-law is a die hard Lions Fan. Although I have nothing against the Lions, I’ll have to make some smartass comment when I go over to visit. Maybe a sympathy card or something. Anyhow, I just wanted to drop a line and for my next post I’ll be discussing Google Adsense, Adbrite and other CPM and CPC advertising options for Local Businesses online.
35 Seo Tips, Design Guidelines
Today I figured I’d throw down some seo tips, ideas, questions; basically just a list of random thoughts on my mind. Some of these thing I have ironed out on this blog, some still need to be addressed.
- NO duplicate title tags, Title Tags 8 words max Preferred.
- NO duplicate meta information.
- NO duplicate content.
- Use H1 and H2 tags on all pages.
- Make use of <em>, <i> and <b> on choice key phrases, subtitles, etc.
- It’s not bad to link out, I will avoid linking out to direct competition.
- Target Keyphrases should make up no more than 6% of total word count
- Each page should encourage the reader to visit another (good content)
- External Homepage links should never pull more than 5% of your total traffic away
- This also goes for advertising programs like adsense (always should be a users last option)
- Shoot for four page views minimum per visitor.
- Give reasons to re-visit, consider the use of “the daily picture, video, comic or joke”
- Provide something nobody else provides, push past the competition
- Sensitive form data should always be protected with ssl
- Nofollow or 302 redirect obvious link purchases.
Comedian’s Commercial Video
I’ve always been a commercial buff. As a marketer you kind of need to pay attention to the advertising strategies these large companies use. Not to go be a copycat but to get the wheels turning on developing a great advertising pitch. Popular commercials are often times funny or have a cool tune. An affiliate manager of mine sent me the video below of a comedian who shares his idea of what commercials should be like.
Invite Guest Writers, Become a Guest Writer
Guest writing is the process of providing a website with a freshly written article in exchange for a bio. or resource link to your own website. There are benefits to both posting guest written content on your own blog as well as guest writing for other blogs. I personally believe posting a useful article can be just as rank beneficial as building a link. Read this post

When investing in CPM advertising, clicks matter. CPM or cost per thousand views is a well known method of advertising used by companies online. Whether it’s CPM or CPC, choosing persuasive keywords or a catchy tag line is necessary for attracting a higher volume of visits.
