Does your SEO have heart? - 
The insatiable appetite for fame and for instant
gratification has
taken us by storm and we don't even notice it. Does your website have
the SEO heart beat of your business in mind? I was born in the
60's
and there was a place in my heart for peace, love and laisser faire
attitude. As with all artists the thought was that one-day the world
would become more acceptable of change and diversity.
No matter what the price today it needs to happen
right away. From Blogging,
You Tubing, Facebook, MySpace, etc. Now the latest thing Twittering. And if you
are in the Internet industry SEO is
the heart of that business.
When I was growing up things were different, as I am
sure they are with any generation. However I was raised in Lebanon
millions of miles away from the US including with a different culture a
different language with different values. That's not to say it was
better or worst but at 9 years of age I still genuflected when I met my
parents friends and called all adults "Madame and Messieurs."
There was never a need to stand out in the crowd nor
was there a need to become better than others, you just had your
instilled values and parents to guide you through the hard times and
your girlfriends to discuss boys. Since talking to your parents would
ensure you never seeing that boy again.
You are probably wondering what does that have to do
with SEO? Plenty, if you read anyone's blog, articles, websites
about
SEO they will more often than not tell you PPC and link backs should be
part of your efforts in Search engine optimization in order to have a
better PageRank. They will
also tell you that the age of your website
has a lot to do with your each ranking. So if you are just starting you
make sure you buy your domain name for 10 years rather than just 2 or
5. It will cost a few extra dollars but like everything else. With age
comes wisdom, and search engines will give your site more weight than a
newer domain name.
But as a child of the 60's I still refuse to believe
I have to spend so much money in order to make money. If you are in the
SEO industry
I am sure you are well aware that in order to get a better
page rank your first priority is the back end of your web site. From
Meta tags to headers and to your Meta descriptions. But what if you are
not a huge company with a lot of money set aside for expert opinions.
Well then you start reading and hopefully you will find useful
information regarding how to take the bull by the horns and do your
own SEO.
I must read more websites with more information about
SEO and have yet to find anyone who has a different strategy. The one
thing I can add to everyones guru advise is don't stop doing what you
are doing. That is if you are following my advice and you can even hire
a smaller SEO company that knows what they are doing. Keep in mind SEO
is all about
adding continuous sizzle before you fizzle. Don't just add a list
of keywords hoping your readers will find you. But look at keywords
phrases; those seem to get more hits than just keywords.
I have found several sites that give you new
information and can actually fix your
code if you follow their
instructions.
