What Do You Mean Hosting is not Hosting?

Remember that famous TV advertisement for Castrol Oil, ‘Oils ain’t Oils Sol‘. Were the Mafia Boss demonstrates that the effectiveness of the oil is more important in the long run than the cheap upfront cost that Sol paid for a budget oil.

Hello Dave,

Thank you very much for the eBook. Thankfully I had done a lot of this work last year and am on the front page of Google (position # 4) under “Gold Coast Airport Transfers” and “Airport Transfers Gold Coast”. I’ll still be refining the other details to ensure I maintain/increase the ranking as high as possible.

Cheers and thanks again.

Creating a Google or Gmail account

If you are setting up a Google Account for business so you can use Google Services like Google Places / Maps, You Tube, Panoramio etc. The best option is to sign up for a Google Account using a business email address with your domain name eg admin@yourdomain.com.au. The reason for this is that this gains more Google trust, as the email address matches the business & your website address.

If you just want to have a personal Google Account separate to business, an account you can use to make Reviews on other Google business pages or have an email address that has webmail with ample storage then set up a Gmail account.

All you need to do here is register a Google account or Gmail account, which takes about a minutes. Just Google search for “Create a Google Account”or use these links.

• Create a new Google account
• Sign up for Gmail

Here is a tip for those who have a WordPress CMS website

If you want to add a Google Map to a Page or Post go to desired Google Map, click ‘Link’ > ‘Paste HTML to embed in website’

Open the Page or Post in your website Admin area, click ‘HTML’ then click the curser where you want the map located & Edit > Paste > Update

If you want to change the dimensions of the map, change the “width” & “height” in the source code. > Update

Note: if you change the view of the editor from HTML back to Visual & then > Update (save changes) you will probably find that the embedded code will change & the map will NOT show.

So when editing you Location Page do all the changes to content in HTML view & Update or be prepared to copy & paste the Map source code from Google back into the HTML view before Updating.

On Site and Off Site SEO – part 2

As explained in Part 1 - Now there are two areas of Search Engine Optimization

• ON Site SEO that is what we can do and you can do on your website to help your Google or other search engine ranking and
• OFF Site SEO which is what is done around the internet and not on your website to increase your search engine indexing.

So to continue on from there talking about both On Site and Off Site SEO we need to remember that Search Engine can’t see pictures they only index text the wording content of a webpage. Now that is the words you can see and the words in the source code that you can’t see but Search Engines can.

So with images if you can add a title, description and tags (keywords) to them then the this give more for the search engine to index.

A tip is to try and  include the  relevant key words or key phrases in the first part of the text in regards to Titles, Descriptions and Page content.

The reason for this search engines topically only look at the first 60 characters of the Title and about 160 characters of a description, in relation ship to web page titles and descriptions.

With page content it is more beneficial to have all the fluffy descriptive non relevant words after the keyword text. So try and think like a information gathering robot and not like a fiction novelist. You can still make the content sound great just use the key words instead of Then they, the owners, etc.

These tips apply to you writing an article on your website uploading an image to your website Which is On Site SEO. With relationship with Off Ste SEO if you are uploading articles and images on Social Media websites like Twitter and Facebook or adding comments or articles on Forums or News sites.

Also relevant to both On & Off Site articles try to use correct English. This is not always possible as times you may want to catch the attention of the reader or especially spell something wrong to use the wrong spelling as a key words as well as the correct spelling.

Here is an example if you are writing an article on SEO you might consider spelling it both ways Search Engine Optimisation and Optimization. Now the largest group of people and computers think the correct spelling is IZATION and the minority would search using ISATION. This is particularly important on a .com website where color is the correct spelling, on a .com.au it is more acceptable to spell it coloUr.

Case Study of Hope Island Online 1st 30 Days

Don’t Miss the SPECIAL SEO Program below

Just to prove what we say and do works for real I monitored the first month of www.HopeIslandOnline.com.au. We uploaded this website on the 1st of March 2010 as a brand new website. The previous 2 weeks (last 2 weeks in February) we had the .com version as the testing and development site.

The first 30 Days we had total hits of 123,318 which is a daily average of 4,252 website hits

We all know that a hit is just when a page, image or file is clicked on and is not the number of unique visitors, just the same it is very impressive when we had NO PPC Pay Per Click or other paid Search Engine priority. It was all organic traffic.

So you want to know how we did this and how you can too

• Find enough spare time to run a few new and relevant news items every day a simple equation, no relevant content = no traffic = no website return. You have to put it in to get it out and it is all proportional to the quality and relevance of the content (the website copy)
• Link your website to every thing relevant and get back links where possible
• Link content to other relevant websites
• Submit news article snippets to Search Engine feeders
• Link images and use keyword in the title, description and tags
• submit links to social media websites like Twitter and Facebook
• upload videos to You Tube with good title, description and tags (Google owns You Tube)

Now there are more things that can be done and they all take time. It is not one thing that alone drags the traffic unless you are running a PPC Campaign.

PPC Pay Per Click is when you pay Google for a priority position at the top or right hand side of Google. Every time someone clicks your link you pay Google any thing from .25 cents to $15 this is calculated on the demand for the keywords you nominate to be linked to, the more you pay the higher your website link.

Search Engine Optimisation is the most important part of having a website, so many people get a website developed and then do nothing to promote it, like having the best store in the world and have it in the middle of the desert. no traffic = no value.

With millions of web pages wanting to be on the first page of Google, you need to take action.

If you want your website to be ranked well you can pay an SEO Company for there time and if you use a western (Australian, USA, Canada, UK etc) SEO Company you will be paying 10 times plus more than using a SEO Company in say India.

Be Warned Do Not Do It Alone, you will certainly end up in grief.

Use a reputable SEO Agent like Find Net Solutions to find the reliable service provier as we can make them accountable as we have the leverage of being able to continue to send then business, where as a one time client doesn’t have that commercial clout

On Site and Off Site SEO – part 1

This article was prompted by a few good customers enquiring about SEO Search Engine Optimisation. The are getting marketers trying to push different SEO packages on them, from India, Asia,UK & USA just to name the main areas..

Before you just sign up with anything Please Call Me, a two minute phone call could save you thousands and make you money. A phone call to me is a good investment, like that !!!

Most of these spammers sent emails from a yahoo or gmail account (or similar) which shows straight away they don’t even promote there own domain!!

Now there are two areas of SEO

• ON Site SEO that is what we can do and you can do on your website to help your Google or other search engine ranking and
• OFF Site SEO which is what is done around the internet and not on your website to increase your search engine indexing.

Here is a brief example I launched a website 4 weeks ago to help our local community groups and promote local businesses. The spin off for me is that we pick up local businesses that want website or email marketing solutions that are effective and affordable.

Any way http://www.HopeIslandOnline.com.au has at least one new news item a day. They are all recent and relevant & because they are Google, sends out alerts within hours in some cases showing that that article, keywords and web links have been index already. Now that is remarkable for such a young site but I am doing constant ON Site SEO. The more I submit the more the Search Engine lap it up. I also have key programming installed for SEO which is an added search engine listing accelerator.

Now one example of OFF Site SEO is that all those relevant blogs, forums, membership and news websites that are, either relevant to you because of the industry, their product or there location. Use them submit a suttle articles and make sure you have a link init back to your website.

Now if you do that with a weak, non relevant website you will get a weak result. So pick them well. Find a go getting news or blog site be part of the community and then make sure you do ON Site articles about them creating back links.

This is a key point it make them (the other website) stronger at the same time, self praise means little but when others are saying the praise it makes stronger.

Now that is just one simple way. So make the time you spend on line more productive, don’t waste it all on Facebook as every little article and back link really counts.

Good Content is Important

Good Content – is important for two reasons, Relevance to Search Engines and Relevance to website visitors.

Good Content is probably the single most important point you should remember when doing SEO, especially if you want your site to be found on the web. Although your site may be technically perfect so that the search engine robots find it, you will find that it will not help if the actual content of your site is not good.

For the content of your site to be good, it should be factually, as well as grammatically correct. But this is not really necessary for every site that is on the web today. However, what is important is that whatever your site is about, the content actually needs to be unique and specific so that it will appeal to people and search engines, as well as being relevant to the search words used. Moreover, it in fact needs to be particularly appealing to those people looking for information or who wants to find your site.

By having good content on your site, visitors will return and eventually these visitors who return are more likely to link to your site. Having lots of
inbound links is not only great for your site, but for search engine rankings also. It is even better if those links are from more highly ranked sites than your own.

Also, not only do you need to have good content on your site, you also need to have fresh content also. If you add new content to your site on a regular basis, you are giving your visitors more reasons for returning to it. Because of this, search engine robots will also visit your site more often as soon as they notice that you are updating it regularly. So what this means is that any new content you add, will then be indexed much quicker in the future.
