1. Change you login name to your name, don’t use the ‘admin’ name to post articles.
Seeing your name makes it more personal.

2. If you have uncategorized articles. This is bad SEO and anyone with basic knowledge on SEO will call this out.

3. Make a blogroll. People that come to your site will leave. No one gets to one site and remains there for the rest of their life. With a blogroll you can at least point your visitors to places that you like, those sites may point back to you.

4. Link to other sites. I found you through another site, cybercashology, but you should not just make comments on blogs, but write articles and reference them. Then go to the blog you reference and in your signature link back to your post and not back to your home page. A link on a blog should end with “.com/?page_id=2″ and not just a .com as most people do.

5. Write all your own articles - or most. Using other sources is fine when you have a blank and can’t write one post. Don’t use them for your core.

Another thing, when writing a post and you don’t have a topic in mind you can go to someone else and give pointers….that makes a 5 point how-to article.

Touch as many of their senses as you can
**Seo Marketing or Music Marketing?

**No Matter…It is Brilliant Marketing. -SKY-

TOUCH as many of their senses as you can.

The more senses you touch in someone,
the more they will remember you.

BEST: a live show, with you sweating right
on top of someone, the PA system pounding
their chest, the smell of the smoky club,
the flashing lights and live-in-person performance.

WORST: an email. a single web page.
a review in a magazine with no photo.

(Lets say that “emotions” are one of the senses.)
Whenever possible, try to reach as many senses
as possible. Have an amazing photo of yourself
or your band, and convince every reviewer to put
that photo next to the review of your album.

-Send videos with your presskit.

-Play live shows often.

-Understand the power of radio to make people hear
your music instead of just hearing about it.

-Get onto any TV shows you can.

-Scent your album with patchouli oil.

-Make your songs and productions truly emotional
instead of merely catchy.

(Touching their emotions is like touching their body.
If you do it, youll be remembered.)

Traffic to the largest classified advertising websites has
grown by almost 70% in the last year, according to new
research.

Research says 57.4 million US users visited the top
consumer-to-consumer ad sites in August,a rise of 57%
over the same month in 2007.

Craigslist was the most popular, doubling its unique
visitors to almost 16 million during the month. Trader
Publishing , the leader in July 2007, ranked second with
17.2 million visitors (up 25%), while AutoTrader ranked
third with 8.4 million visitors (up 24%).”
While online classifieds are not new, it appears that
internet users are really beginning to catch on to this
phenomenon.With nearly 60 percent growth in the past year,
online classifieds are growing at a rate that surpasses
most other categories.

As the category leader, Craigslist has clearly impacted
the way in which new and traditional media companies
approach the classifieds business. Research said a higher
than expected proportion of visitors came from among
younger professionals. People between the ages of 25
and 35, and those in households making at least US
$90,000 annually,were each 27% more likely than
average to visit classified sites.

Classified advertising is a truly great business building
tool you can use to generate dozens and dozens of leads
for your service business.

Whether your target market(s) is based locally or further
away there are publications, trade magazines, newsletters,
and newspapers that will be read by your prospects. Placing
small ads in the classified advertising section of these
publications will generate leads for you.

The great news is that classified advertising even with
large publications is relatively inexpensive.
But of course it’s not how much it costs that’s important.
What’s important is how much profit you generate from using
classified advertising.

Want to know the basic rule of marketing
and promoting your music?

Constantly ask, “What do they really want?”
(“they” being who you are trying to reach)

Think hard, and dont take this one lightly.
Thinking of everything from the other persons point of view
is one of the best things you can do in life. If done right,
it will elevate you into the clouds along with a few select
immortal beings.

Every time you lift up the phone. Every time you write an
email. Every time you send out a presskit.
Think why people in the music industry are REALLY working
this job. Try to imagine them as just a well-meaning human
being who is probably overworked, looking for a little
happiness in the world, and likes music (or the music world
itself) enough to do what they do, even though they could be
doing something else.

Think what their email “IN” box must look like, and how it
would be unwise for you to send them an email with the
subject of “hey” followed by a 7-page email detailing your
wishes for success.

Think what people are REALLY looking for when they go out to
a club to hear music. For some people, its just a way to be
seem to increase their popularity. For some, theyre
searching for some music that does something completely
original and mind-blowing. Some are looking for total visual
entertainment.

Nobody owes you their attention. Not your audience. Not a
person you happened to call or email. Not even the music
industry.

Let go of your ego entirely. Think of everything from their
point of view. Be their dream come true. Do what they really
want.

(This even goes down to the smallest levels: what kind of
phone message you leave, what kind of cover letter you write
in a package, what kind of subject header you put in your
email.)
And maybe, just maybe, theyll be or do exactly what you want.

An SEO marketing company would like you to know that they
can DO IT ALL – Large And Small. I do not see that
happening. I think they try something and wait and see if
it works. About 3 months to a year later they find out they
did good and they work that magic on their clients. But
what if the knowledge is out there about how to build a good
ranking website, and they are busy with customers and miss
the boat?

I see that happening. I know one true SEO expert that skips
over the practical applications and just teaches Googles PhD
level insights. Lord knows there are enough PhDs there to
learn from. But what about “rubber meeting road?” If
something works, it should be followed. You dont see any
adsense on this site.

And it seems to be doing OK. Is there a connection between
ranking and having adsense on your website?

What should be the primary focus of SEO Marketing? Getting a site to show well in searches. “Short Tail” are the most common and popular searches and “Long Tail” are the less popular searches.

People seem to forget….they BOTH need to rank well in
order to be found. Ranking well for keywords is the main and
only thing. Conversion of traffic to customers is a whole
nother specialty. Seek out a “Conversion Expert” for that. There is a new breed of “Low Key” conversion experts out
there.

Your sick of “Hype” and so is every consumer out there.
Play it cool and see the benefits for yourself. But for
crying out loud, FIND somebody who knows how to build a good
ranking website for you. Thats a good starting place.

A Search marketing company performs certain tasks for
your website like keyword research, copyrighting,
development of Meta tags, website optimization and linking
campaigns.  New aspiring internet operations and beginners
in the online business need the guidance of search engine
marketing company to accomplish their online goals and
objectives.

Search engine marketing company can offer unlimited range of
search services and advise to their prospective clients and
customers. Selection of search engine marketing company is
not an easy task and it should also be given due preference
by the new entrants who enter the world of online business.

A good SEO search engine marketing optimization firm can
offer you wide
utilities. They can help you to submit your website in major
search engines directories, increase the traffic of website,
and improve the keywords rankings and thus putting your
website in the top of search engines. They can offer

engine optimization.

would positively increase your web rankings in major search
engines. They can generate a better business search result
and enhance the customer base for a particular website.

They can provide you with updated technology and skill to
provide accurate and practical keywords to the clients. With
these utilities a search engine services company can prove
to be your best guide to achieve higher search contact with
customers.

rules for website promotion.  Incorporating these basics in
the promotion of a website is a great effort for beginning
the optimization process for a website. The company’s
professionals can integrate these features in the site to
start an optimization process.

The Secret In SEO Marketing
What is in SEO marketing that makes it so interesting and
people are doing anything to keep it up and come up with
newest strategies?

In the organic type of seo marketing, there are greater
click-troughs. A lot of people market this because of the
organically grown search results that do more than what they
were supposed to do with the sponsored results.
While the other search engines business is supported by
some of the paid ads, there are many consumers who would
choose the organic search results. The listings they provide
are more related and can offer great depth of choices that
are truly manageable.

While the paid ads can play a very vital role in seo
marketing strategy, the organic search will be able to add
to the greater click-through rates when all the things get
equal. This makes the websites meet their targeted traffic
in the search engine rankings.
Seo marketing is very important because it is where ideas
are being created by the people doing the websites. They
must come up with great marketing ideas in order to compete
with the thousands of websites in the different search
engines.

Some do not even think of seo marketing as a marketing
strategy but a competition with the other web sites. Even
though it is a foul play, they would still continue as long
as their links and their ranks are increasing.
This is something overlooked by most marketers. Getting
links and ranks can be done equally and black hat seo may
never work at all because there are rules in putting up a
website that is user-friendly. They must not look at seo as
a competition because the quality of their services is
wasted and sometimes wrongfully understood.

The power of branding is one marketing strategy which is
practiced by large corporations. They are investing in this
kind of resource and organic search to gain a lot of seo
marketing benefits in order to promote their brand.
The keywords are important to keep the sites linked to and
visited by users. They need to know the best strategy on how
to increase keyword density therefore letting them show up
in the different search engines such as Yahoo, MSN and
Google. If your company and brand displays on top of the
search results, you can have the impression that your
company is getting a lot of viewers and that it is important.

In seo marketing, you need to get the trust of the viewers
and customers. If you get greater trust, then you will get
greater access and conversions. Most adults learn to apply a
healthy amount of doubt when they see a commercial shown on
t.v. The same is for when they see an ad in the website.

So in order to correct their doubts, do not keep promising
to them what you cannot do. Make sure that the services you
are trying to describe to them are essential and can be done
specially. You are paying high in getting links but be sure
that your services are guaranteed with full service. Once
you have gained the trust of your customers, you are sure to
gain their trust all throughout but if you do not, do not
expect that you are getting requests and orders.

Now, whatever seo marketing type or strategy you are going
to use, keep in mind that seo is a very aggressive and
competitive field. When you are using it with the best
technology, knowledge is always the key to gain a
competitive advantage.

If you are still new in the marketing field, there are a
lot of techniques to get involved with and you seriously
need to be creative so that you will rank in the different
search engines if that is your goal.

Do not let your self get behind because you will not be
ranking at all. There are thousands or even millions of
websites that are competing and you will feel a very small
grain compared to them but nothing is impossible if you will
try and think of marketing as a negotiable way to increase
ranking. Do not get intimidated by the other websites
because they will just pull you down.

Too many webpage owners feel that once they submit their
page a search engine they are guaranteed success. That is
generally not the case. Simply submitting your web page to a
search engine is not always enough to get any hits. Most web
pages require search engine optimization to become truly
successful.

Search engine optimization is the art and science of making
web pages attractive to the search engines. The goal of
search engine optimization is to have your website ranked in
the top ten internet search hits that appear on the first
page. Why is it important to be on the first page? It is
important because the average internet user does not click
on any of the sites listed on the second or third page. Out
of sight, out of mind. One website owner reported a two
hundred and ten percent increase on her e-commerce sight
when she had her webpage redesigned for optimal search
engine optimization.

You would think that the prospect of a two hundred and ten
percent increase in sales would be all the incentive a
webmaster would need to redesign their site. That is not
always the case. There are a variety of reasons people avoid
recreating their websites.

Some people believe that search engine optimization is too
difficult to understand. The reality is that search engine
optimization is fairly simple. All it takes is a little
research and most people are ready to rock.

Other people feel that there are simply too many things to
learn before they will be ready to optimize their website.
Search engine optimization is just like anything else. When
you first start out you know nothing. With some homework and
a bit of trial and error and you will know exactly what it
takes to make your webpage popular with the web crawlers.

Some people believe that search engine optimization will
take up lots of their precious time. People with this
particular fear should remember that old adage about time
and money. If time spent optimizing your website leads to an
increase in sales is it not time well spent? Besides search
engine optimization is easy, once you have the hang of it
will not add much to the time you would already have to
devote to updating your website.

You do not have to submit to gobs of search engines to reap
the rewards of search engine optimization.

If you have a large site you should not worry about spending
lots of time optimizing it and running the risk of never
finishing the process. If you have a large website just take
things one step at a time. Focus on optimizing on page per
day. Start with your most important pages and then
concentrate on the irrelevant pages. By using this one page
a day method you will not run the risk of sitting at your
computer until your eyeballs fall out of your head.

It might take some time and some trial and error to optimize
your website but you will consider it time well spent when
you see an increase in the amount of traffic, the increase
in traffic should lead to more sales.
