SEO Tools Snap Shots:

With the latest Caffeine update from  Google and the overhaul of Yahoo! some many webmasters are getting hammered in search engines. Search engine rankings and traffic are down on Google for many sites by more than 30% in the last month.

A lot of the posts I read were about changes and how to fix the  problem. My thoughts are don’t do anything yet and wait to see if it stabilizes. Usually will when it is this crazy. Well it looks like it has. Most terms like long tails are still showing a little off but 2 and 3 word terms are coming right back.

When search engines are updating I believe it is always better for your website rankings. To hold off on search engine optimization and link building until it settles down. Basically, always know what your doing and why your doing it. SEO and link building never stop so enjoy the break!

Well it looks like Google has updated again. Have you been watching your back links or Page Rank lately? You may have seen changes in both in the last week. I think this is from another Google update. Although who really knows besides the people at “G”.

If you have been looking at you links. You will notice the back-links they used to show do not show up anymore when you do the link command in Google search. Just put the command in the search box we used our site below.

(Example: link:http://www.seocompanyservices.com)

(Result String http://www.google.com/search?q=link%3Aseocompanyservices.com&num=100)

The other thing we is Page Rank has been jumping around and has now changed  a number of our web pages. I know that PR is always flowing but we normally don’t see those changes in the bar so when we do it usually means an update. Watch the search engine rankings and i bet you will see a few changes as well!

I Would hold off on adjustments until we are all sure that this is an update and the algorithm has been analyzed by a few seo’s. Many times fluctuations settle down after a week anyway so there is need to do a lot of until then.

Blogger, Yahoo and My-Space Blogs don’t even compare to Word Press, so don’t even waste your time with them. Sure they are popular websites but do nothing for your SEO efforts. If you do choose one of the other three then I would go with Blogger. Google tends to favor it’s own blogs over Word-Press, Yahoo and Myspace, but WordPress can be optimized more than any credit given to Google’s own Blogger platform. That is only the case when you host with them. Remember, WP and Blogger need to be self hosted to get the most out of your seo and search engine marketing program.

Do search engine rankings really matter anymore? The answer may sound surprising coming from an SEO but the answer is NO! Yes, I said no, but it is not that simple. The real measure for success in my opinion is website visitors and you can get that without natural search engine rankings. Then I look at the quality of the traffic coming to the site (conversion rates /sales). People just put way too much stock in rankings. Remember number of times a particular term is searched in the natural results changes all the time, that’s another reason why we do keyword research on regular basis.

So should you stop trying to rank your website. No, not at all. Just focus on more on quality traffic. Here are a few ways to boost website traffic if your rankings are good or bad.

Social sites - Sites like Twitter, Facebook and other networking websites can bring just as much traffic if not more than a search engine can. If do a big social media campaign you could blow away your past records for unique visitors. Also, these sites tend to bring repeat visitors witch is another overlooked benefit. Return visits or visitor loyalty can also help tour natural search engine rankings as well.

Advertising – Another way to get good traffic is to advertise on other websites. Running ads can help but only if you choose the correct places to run the ads. I prefer content related sites using text links ads, no not the company. Finding the right sites and a good deal can be challenging but you can reach a lot of people and boost your organic rankings. Banner ads also work as long as they are do follow links and the website has good stats!

If you work hard at social marketing and advertise on the right sites you will find success. Not to mention reduce your stress level. I hope this helps you build your website traffic and visitors to record levels.

SEO Cubes - Search Engines

Why are we only offering this for new SEO Service for local clients?

The reasons for this are simple.  First, Atlanta and the entire state of Georgia has been hit harder than other parts of the country by the slow economy. We want to be a part of helping companies hit hard in our area rebuild.

The second reason is obvious.  It is easier to work with clients when you can actually meet with about seo, internet marketing and seo web design projects.

The final reason is we have neglected the local seo market for the past two years and allowed other seo companies to get a footing in the local Atlanta seo market. I didn’t care for a long time, but now I do. I look at it as a challenge that I am confident we can handle!

The Affordable SEO ads will only run until January 1st 2010. By then we should dominate once again and I will produce the scans to show it.

Are you looking for new keywords for your website? Try the new Keyword Index website. It is a new web tool that pulls search data from Google Insights, Bing xRank and Google Trends. The real benefit is it makes going to multiple places to find your keywords a bit less time consuming, leaving more time for other SEO tasks (  link building ). Below is a snapshot below.

Thoughts:

Keyword research is probably the most important search engine optimization. If you find the right keywords, you will likely get a high ROI or return on investment.

Do it wrong and you could end up losing a large amount of both time and money. You may even end up paying a consultant for SEO Services. By finding the top keywords that will deliver targeted traffic and that leads to an increase your sales without working more.

Google Insights for search now has graphs of your search results you can add to your own website. We also use scripts for presentations by creating special pages. We of course used the search term SEO for our sample. Click on the script below to take you to the actual Google Insights search for the term SEO.  You can add it to your iGoogle page if you wish to track term over a long period without having to constantly check. I prefer Insights because Google has tons of great data.

Well Yahoo and Bing stuck a deal to tackle Google together. The deal was approved about a week ago and it looks like Bing will be the winner. From what I have read Yahoo is going to be focused more on the paid search and ads space side of things. While Bing will lead natural search, witch makes sense.  In my opinion Bing’s search engine is better than Google for most searches, Google serves up way too much Wiki.

Even though the two pronged approach is smart Yahoo and Bing will have to step up the services to compete with Big G. Google’s services are just too good but Yahoo may be up to the services challenge. Anyway I think the competition will be good for users and a little healthy competition is always good for all parties involved.

We will have tips for how to optimize for the two after more light is shed on the deals structure.

SEO Services for Google, Yahoo and Bing.

Yahoo’s site explorer has always been a better source for information on website links. Recently I noticed that things are starting to change with Yahoo Site Explorer. It left me wondering if they might change the system? Maybe a potential partner, Bing or even Google working on algorithm? Who knows with the last few test. I am referring to Yahoo using Google’s search technologies for paid search. I hope that Yahoo and Bing combine but to really compete they are going need more than a search engine, tools, apps, all the cool stuff Google offers.

That does not appear to be the case. It was my tools being blocked and showing incorrect data. Search engines often do this when queries from seo’s cause a strain to the old system. I upgraded to the new FireFox today, updated plug-ins and SEO Quake. Everything is working again except the Yahoo index show zero but manual search shows over ten pages or 100 plus pages.

The links and link to domains show close to the same numbers but are a bit lower, somethings changed? We will see what happens over the next few weeks and write a new post on our discoveries.

SEO Marketing Purchases a New Website, Theappssite.com

We purchased a new domain name to put our test applications on for the Iphone. We got a great new domain name www.theappssite.com. We intend to make this a site not just for Iphone apps,  but hacks, tweaks and how to videos. The first couple of apps we develop will be free for testing and the rest we should have on our site as well as the Apple Store.

The design of the new site began today and will have that Mac / Apple feel to it. We are still evaluating the best software for developing iphone applications, Unity 2.5 seems to be our favorite so far. They have made a ton of improvements with Unity 2.5. Anyway, the software trial runs out this weekend so we will be started by then.

If you have an app request, an idea for apps or would like to be a contributor please use our contact form and tell us in the comments box. Check back next week for our video of IPhone 3G after jailbreak and unlocking.

After Google Voice my second motivation is to create a couple of  Iphone Apps. I am not quite sure if any will be SEO related but one or two SEO applications will come from testing the IPhone. We will need to get down the process of submitting applications to Apple’s iPhone App Store. Once we get the process down we will be uploading a how to videos and demo iphone apps.

Now I am not saying to forget the others just to optimize for Bing as much as you would for Google. As I touched on before Bing visitors and traffic will be significantly lower than Google but the quality of leads is much better. Google is great for bringing in the masses but you want sales not visitors. If you optimize for Bing and Google first and Yahoo and ASK secondary you should be fine.

The other big advantage besides the promotion aspect is it’s easy to optimize your site for both Google and Bing without conflict because their algorithms are similar. It has really us connect with quality clients that are great to work for and increase our overall sales. Try it for a month, it may help your business make it through these bad economic times.

We tied to use our back ups but lost the old posts because of another issue. To say the least it has been a major pain trying to fix multiple issues.

Here is what we did to fix our problem and plug ins we recommend every webmaster or WordPress publisher use for optimizing their blog.
