Redesigning a Website without Losing Traffic

First of all, the most important issue to consider is whether your site actually needs a redesign. Can you just do away with the content that doesn’t work, and keep the content that does work? If you’re not getting contacts through the web, could you just add contact information or a button that leads to a form on each page? If visitors bailout quickly, is it because your home page isn’t any good and not necessarily because your entire site isn’t any good? Identify the faults of your site and try to keep changes small. Making small changes is always better than overhauling an entire site if you want to retain the search rankings you already have. The reason is simple: search engines have a record and history for the pages that already rank well. If you change the structure of your site, that record will either be completely lost or it will take a good amount of time (perhaps, at least half a year) before it will be reassigned to the appropriate pages. Whenever you change the URLs of your sites pages, you can expect a loss in traffic at least temporarily (unless the pages never received traffic in the first place).

Article Submission

Article submission relevance has risen in popularity in the recent years for a couple of reasons. Keyword driven anchors, linking relevance and inbound link PageRank weighting all plays a role in this vital SEO technique. When you market an article to an external or internal page for ranking purposes, whether it be a topical hub or article directory, many facets of the article must be considered: where (what site) the article is submitted, where in the site (category relevance) it is submitted, what keywords are used, what anchor text is used and where it links to in your webpage. All of these factors can greatly increase or decrease ranking efficiency when you submit an article.

SEO-e blog Potential New Google Ranking Factor – Site Speed

Intense lobbying within Google recently has prompted Matt Cutts, Google’s spam chief, to announce a potential new addition to the search algorithm next year.

Speaking at the Pubcon conference in Las Vegas that just concluded, Cutts says Google’s co-founders want search to be real fast – like flipping through a magazine. They would like faster web pages to rank better than slower ones. It’s already a factor in the AdWords quality score, but there is now a big push to include site speed for the organic search algorithm as well.

Search Engine Optimization is an Integral Part of Search Engine Marketing

The dividing line between the descriptions 'search engine marketing' and 'search engine optimization' is not sharp and clear cut. The latter is in fact a form of the former and the former cannot exist without the latter. The two expressions are like conjoined twins who are different and same at the same time.

search engine marketing, commonly known as SEM, is the marketing of web sites to get them a sought-after place in the results that search engines spew forth in answer to every customer query. Different online and offline marketing tactics are used to grab this right place in the search engine results, known as search engine ranking. The more common of these online search engine marketing methods are search engine optimization of the site, blogging, article writing, pay per click advertising, and paid inclusion.

When search engines became popular, search engine optimization was born. SEO refers to the techniques web site owners employ to ensure their site ranks well on the search engine. This is important to anyone trying to build an online business because consumers are now accustomed to finding what they are looking for through search engines and if your page is not ranking near the top, you are dead in the water.

If you are looking to create a great website that will rank well in the search engine results you are better off playing by the rules. Good SEO practices will take your site to the top and keep it there for the long haul. This can be difficult at times but it will be worth it when your site becomes profitable.

What is search engine optimization?

How will it help me?

I am writing this article for those who are serious about getting their site to the top of search engine listings like Google, msn, yahoo etc. Don't read another word if search engine optimization is not your priority now. Those who are interested promise me you are going to use my guidelines on your pages to reap financial benefits. Then lets get to the big question.
Lets begin with our primary question. What is Search Engine Optimization (SEO) ?
As per wikipedia :- “Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results for targeted keywords. Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the search results or the higher it "ranks", the more searchers will visit that site. SEO can also target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines.” In short this is what you need if you want your site listed when some one searches for a particular keyword in the top search engines. From now on when we say Google it will refer to all major search engines that use organic search method like windows live search, overture, yahoo etc etc.

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. SEO is one of the best methods to generate targeted traffic to your website. Traffic comes from organic search engine listings and from my own experience, this traffic is the most targeted and hence valuable. Conversion rates are far way better from organic traffic than from any paid advertisement like AdWords. Nowadays internet is flooded with swindlers and scams, that’s why paid ads are getting less and less trusted...

Twitter Trending Topic Spam

Today I am left wondering… How effective are Twitter trending topics? Trending topics used to be a place to look for the latest news, events, or information on a specific topic. Lately, it seems to be more of a place where spammers hang out and hijack the trending topics. Now, when viewing any given trending topic you are presented with irrelevant information and spam from people who are attempting to get their message seen by riding on the popularity of the trending topic.

Bot network uses Twitter

Apparently, the current hype about Twitter has not passed malware writers by. Jose Nazario of Arbor appears to have discovered a bot-net that users the Twitter micro-blogging service for its communication. In a blog entry, Nazario tells of a Twitter account "upd4t3" (leet-speak for "update") whose messages seem to be Base64 encoded. He suspects the account may be used to control a bot network through allowing its clients to pick up orders. The concept is not entirely new; in 2007, The H reported on a trojan using Web-2.0-sites like MySpace for communication.

Security firms discover botnet on Twitter

A Twitter account can be used as the command center for harnessing a "botnet" of virus-infected computers, security firms Arbor Networks and Symantec reported.

The account has since been suspended by Twitter.

Right Now: A Twitter/News Mash-up

Many people will turn to Twitter to break and discuss news. However, I feel as-if Twitter, on its own, is not a great medium for distributing and discovering news and events. Although there exists a ‘Popular Topics’ feature, there is no obvious attempt to actually connect with the news and events; rather, there is just short, vague and duplicated statements, lacking the editorial quality we are accustomed to from respected news providers.

However, it was uncertain at the time how iTunes would integrate these popular social media services. We speculated that sharing music via iTunes could equate to an increase to revenue for the iPhone and iPod maker.

Facebook @Mentions: Five Ways They Could Impact Twitter

Facebook just sent shockwaves through the social web with its announcement that they will be supporting @mentions in status updates . The feature, which Facebook calls tagging, allows you to not only reference friends, but groups, pages, and events.

Facebook Lite Goes Live - More Twitter Imitation

A month ago we reported that Facebook was beta testing a 'lite' version of its popular social networking site. http://lite.facebook.com has just become available to U.S. users.

Twitter Changes TOS, Opens the Door for Ads

With Twitter growing so dramatically and in so many directions over the last few months, it’s probably no surprise that they have decided to expand their Terms of Service – the core rules that govern the use of Twitter. The company announced the changes today in a detailed blog post. The new TOS, which is far more expansive and specific than the old one, not only addresses privacy concerns, but ownership, spam, rights, and links.

AdWeek 2009 Is Upon Us: The Future Is Here, It’s Just Not Widely Distributed…..

“The future is here, it’s just not widely distributed” is a quote one of Microsoft’s Research guru’s Bill Buxton uses a lot. I believe he attributes it to William Gibson, a science fiction writer…at least Bing says he’s the originator…anyway, with Advertising Week coming I was reminded of it and looking forward to hearing the industry luminaries talk about what is coming, only to realize it’s already here.

SEO is no place for amateurs

How Come everybody is nowadays an SEO Expert?

Let’s face it; not a day goes by where we don’t see someone offering their services as a Search Engine Optimization specialist.
