Casual Articles - Blogging - Quality Fresh Content - Key SEO Strategy
Have you seen any ads or promotions for the instructional ebook on making 'desperate' money? It's a group of several different marketing gurus that are issued a challenge...they have a couple hundred bucks, no list, no web site, and they have to make $1000 bucks in 48 hours or something bad happens to their families...Sound familiar? Well if not, don't sweat it. The point of bringing that to your attention is that it is both possible and relatively easy to turn nothing into something, and make money very quickly once you have the knowledge. Now, I'm not going to promise that if you dropped me in the middle of the Amazon, in the midst of the rainy season, with no guide, and a tribe of man ea
It was found through what looks like some pretty good testing, that it varies quite a bit between the different search engines. Yahoo seems to see only the first 210k of text on a page. Google sees approximately 520k, and MSN sees a whopping 1030k of text.
Admittedly that is a very large amount of text, probably more than most web sites would ever put on a single page. Let’s consider what the spider sees, when it looks at a blog like the one Butch Hamilton has created here. The titles for all of the blog archives are listed on the right. There are less than 100 posts now, but eventually, there could be thousands of posts and their corresponding titles listed as well.
I brief test of several popular blogs indicated that most had text from 10k to around 30k. This leaves plenty of room for additional links, and content before the spider limit would be reached.
Each post on a blog can be like an article, with it’s own title and content. This is the very epitome of what search engine spiders are looking
Your business website is the virtual equivalent of your bricks and mortar reception area. Your potential clients get their first impressions of your business in about ten seconds’ perusal of your home page. It is vital therefore to have your home page, and the rest of your website, looking as professional and polished as you would like your business image to be.Proofreading the text meticulously is essential of course, but you need to go further than checking just spelling and grammar. Websites can be complex organisms and you need to ensure that all the internal and external connections are functional.A specialist website proofreader and copyeditor will check links for you. This is some
I have a theory that you may or may not agree with. I believe that blogs rule on the Search Engines due to one main reason, fresh content. There are endless debates among SEO professionals over whether quality content or back links are the most important to Google. These discussions miss the point if they are talking about quality content without taking into consideration content freshness.
Quality fresh content will win every time over and above any other consideration in Search Engine Optimization. The freshness of content is something that Google can judge quite easily whenever a web page is reindexed. It merely compares the current content with the index of the content from the last visit. I would submit, that the Google Spiders will require a much more sophisticated algorithm to judge quality content than freshness, and this is the main reason why freshness is all important.
After all, human editors frequently disagree concerning content quality. How could software robots be any different ? Any robust SEO Strategy should be based on not only quality content but fresh content as well. I believe that that fresh good quality content will win out over stale excellent quality content. It seems that the Google Spiders like fresh food even more than Subway Sandwiches does !
CNN is even ahead of Google News for a “news” search. Pretty amazing isn’t it, since Google News is indexing every one else’s news ? The New York Times is listed on page 4, and where is the Wall Street Journal? It is hard to find. I went to the first 10 pages of results and couldn’t find the Wall Street Journal anywhere. Here is a simple demonstration that will support my point about the value of freshness, Let’s do a little SEO Strategy research. Check the page rank of each of the following sites using the Google Toolbar.
CNN http://www.cnn.com Page Rank 9
The New York Times - www.nytimes.com/ Page Rank 8
The Wall Street Journal - Page Rank 8
Not to dish CNN at all, but if Google Page Rank were only concerned with content quality, don’t you think that the prestigious New York Times and Wall Street Journal should have at least as high a page rank as CNN ?
What about incoming links? Another SEO philosophy says that back links are the most important factor to achieve Page Rank and search engine position. Let’s look at incoming or back links using Google’s Advanced Search.
CNN – 205,000
The New York Times – 702,000
The Wall Street Journal – 66,000
If back links were the main criteria, then certainly The New York Times would be have the highest page rank, and not CNN. Note: one reason that that Google may be reporting such a small number of back links for the Wall Street Journal, is because much of the Wall Street Journal’s content is subscription-based, which requires a user name and password, that could stop the Google spiders.
The approximate size of each of the sites is reported by Google Advanced Search, as CNN – 1.3 million pages, The New York Times – 930,000 pages, and The Wall Street Journal – 859,000 pages. Sites of this magnitude will most likely garner a high page rank on Google, due not only to content, but shear size.
If you do a Google search for news, and variations such as financial news, business news, current news, CNN comes up number one every time. Why does this happen? It is safe to say that it is due to fresh content.
CNN’s site is updated on a minute by minute basis with content, unlike either the New York Times site or the Wall Street Journal’s site which are probably updated on an hourly or even a daily basis. Google simply loves fresh content, and search results would seem to contend that CNN is one of the absolute masters of fresh content on the Internet.
From this simple comparison, we can see how dramatically fresh content affects page rank and search engine position.
I ran across a rather fascinating SEO strategy article recently, called "Where the bots stop". This article focuses on the question of how deep spiders dig when they index a web page.

One would think with all the resources provided by technology that customer service would not be an issue in today's business world. At any given moment, there is survey after survey showing what customers want and the impact when customers don't receive what they want. With outsourcing being rampant, having an organizational culture where excellence is a habit seems to be a no brainer.Common sense suggests that if I want to keep my job that is based upon a continual stream of customers then it would be extremely beneficial to deliver professional customer service. Unfortunately, customer service still appears to be a significant issue and millions, if not billions, of dollars a

It has been said that no business can survive without a strong and in demand product, and this is certainly true in the world of the internet. When the internet first burst onto the scene, many well meaning but uninformed would be entrepreneurs felt that all they had to do was put up a web site and wait for the money to roll in.
