…is GBuy going to be a good move?

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

While today’s Wall Street Journal “story” on Google’s projected release of its GBuy online payment system tomorrow reads more like Google’s own press release (a Google tradition is to pre-announce via “briefings” to favored publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post), an impending Google strategy to use GBuy to further strengthen its hold on its advertisers and to usurp online consumers from e-commerce companies, such as eBay and Amazon, now competitors, can be gleaned.

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

Cost-Per-Action model lessens click fraud, makes sense to Google, the most-used search engine in the world.

Mission Viejo, CA (PRWEB) June 26, 2006 — The owners of www.AmericanLifeDirect.com, www.LibertyDirect.com and www.SpectrumDirect.com websites are happy to see that the number one search engine on the internet, Google, has finally decided to explore Cost-Per-Action (CPA) advertising. “We’ve been utilizing the CPA model since 1999” said Spectrum Direct CEO, Christopher Snyder. “It’s worked for us – we are the largest seller of E-Commerce Life Insurance, and have been utilizing CPA for over half of our transactions, so it’s great to see Google come around to what we’ve been proving for years!”

Basic On-Page Search Engine Optimization Pt. 2

Sunday, June 11th, 2006

This next one is the part I’m going to have to leave in your hands. If you haven’t got any content on the page, then you need to write it. Try to include the keywords about 3 times in the top third of the page. Only put them where it will read correctly. For example don’t put them all in one sentence because it will sound silly. Try to make your content an absolute minimum of about 400-500 words.

Want More Visitors?
Some of the world’s best meta search engines rely on Entireweb.
Make sure your site is not left out!

Do you have images on your webpage? Then you need to give them “alt” tags. These are just incase a user cannot display or chooses to not display images for whatever reason. Instead, they will see whatever you place into your alt tag. Only put in your keyword as part of the alt tag if it is relevant. The alt tag should be descriptive to the image.

Make the above changes to your webpages and you should see a nice rise in your search engine ranks when they next index your site. It will definately pay off in the end. Best of luck!

Link Trades That Waste Your Time

Saturday, June 10th, 2006

Never has competition been so difficult in the Internet world. Google and Yahoo keep indexing more and more pages, into the millions upon millions, and yet more and more people are creating super quickie links pages that are supposed to get other webmasters to want to trade links with them.

I still trade links with other webmasters, but I’ve gotten more particular as the link trade offers get worse and worse.

First of all, nobody uses title tags correctly anymore. Just for example, a directory page for cars should have a automotive keyword in the title tag, not “ACME Soap washes your odor away guaranteed!”. Would I want my hot rod site listed on a page with that for a title tag? Remember, if by some miracle that page got listed in Google the link would read “ACME Soap washes your odor away guaranteed!”. More than likely the page wouldn’t even come up under any searches for cars or hot rods, even if all the links on the page were automotive related. Now, this example was a good links directory compared to most today. (more…)

Thursday, June 8th, 2006

There are 2 different types of search engine optimization, on-page and off page. Here you’ll learn the differences between them, and basic tips to getting your website optimized for the search engines.

What Is The Difference Between On-Page And Off-Page Search Engine Optimization
The difference is that on-page optimization involves changing elements of your actual webpages that most visitors to your site wont even notice. For example, having your keywords in specific places or writing the title a certain way. Basically it’s tweaking all elements of a page which are a factor for ranking well in the search engines.
