Blogging and SEO - A perfect Small Business Internet Marketer Match

It has become pretty obvious that blogs have been become an important part of marketing for almost any type of online business.  They are unmatched resources when it comes to connecting with customers and potential customers.

But, there is an additional benefit that shouldn't be over-looked:  there impact on your Search Engine Optimization efforts.  Blogging can greatly enhance any websites natural search results through regular postings, and natural keyword placement. There in fact is no stronger way to market ones website for free than by blogging with natural keywords.

Similar to article marketing, posting daily blogs with the keywords of your business included can have remarkable effects on the ranking of your site in any given search engine, and thus net you more traffic. One key to gaining more traffic from keywords is to use ‘niche’ keywords. These are keywords or keyword phrases that may be searched for less often, but that have less competition. This means you may be able to rank much higher for these keyword. An example: The keyword term “baseball” is certainly searched for often, but there are millions of websites optimized around this keyword. However a keyword phrase like “Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz news” would have fewer competitors. The longer keyword also increases the likelihood that your blog contains exactly what the visitor is looking for.

Getting picked up in search engines can lead to increase volumes of traffic heading to your site every day. There are top keyword placers that use blogs to retain huge amounts of daily traffic to their sites just by integrating a variety of niche keywords into their posts. The amazing thing about blogs is they are often picked up by the search engines almost as quickly as one posts to it, which makes it an even more powerful tool for SEO purposes.  Our experience has been that blogs that take advantage of Google's Blogger or Wordpress are quickly indexed. 

Another way blogging can help your site’s search engine ranking is by the quality score. Most search engines, including Google rank sites with a quality score, the more unique, user provided content, the higher it appears the quality score becomes. If a website is just a sales page, and a few pictures, the quality score will most likely be low. But if a site has a blog on it, with fresh, daily posts, the quality score becomes much better, and thus the site gets ranked much higher when people are searching for your niche, or keyword terms.

If you haven't considered a blog for the pure marketing aspect of it, it's probably time you considered it from the SEO perspective.  You've got nothing to loss but website visitors.

Get free advertising while helping MWR grow!

In the hopes of increasing the terrific momentum that MyWebResource has gained, I'm posting this announcement offering free advertisement to all webmasters who publish their content on MyWebResource.  It's free, it's easy to do, and the natural links back to your site will more than make up for the five minutes it takes to post your content.
MyWebResource is a site that was initially published to list all my favorite webmaster resources.  At first, it was more of a personal site where I kept all my bookmarks and projects I've worked on.  Surprisingly, the site started getting a ton of hits. I found that people actually enjoyed browsing a site that had usable information about web design that is not loaded down with a million ads and is not a "free for all" link directory.

Seeing this trend inspired me to develop MyWebResource further.  Several months later, MyWebResource has become a terrific resource for any webmaster where they can read articles about web design, search engine optimization, web hosting, or any other topic related to web design.  Our directory of links has grown leaps and bounds.  There are now over 300 reputable links in our directory that are actually useful! Our downloads section is growing too!  There are now several free website templates, XOOPS themes and XOOPS modules that all are welcome to download, free of charge.

In the hopes of increasing the terrific momentum that MyWebResource has gained, I'm posting this announcement offering free advertisement to all webmasters who publish their content on MyWebResource.  It's free, it's easy to do, and the natural links back to your site will more than make up for the five minutes it takes to post your content.

What we are looking for
We have opened up submission of quality web design related articles, links, and downloads.  All you have to do is click on the appropriate link under "Add A Resource", fill out the form and submit it.  One of our moderators will review your contribution to ensure that it is of good quality and will publish it as soon as possible.

How you benefit
By including a link to your website when publishing articles, links and/or downloads on MyWebResource, you receive natural links to your website with no reciprocal link required! As we all know, relevant, natural, one-way links are what feeds search engine spiders and boosts page rank and SERPs (search engine results pages). TIP: To improve the benefit of listing your content on MyWebResource, include a natural link to your site in the text.  For maximum benefit, turn a primary keyword into a text link!

How MyWebResource Benefits
By contributing your content, MyWebResource will continue to grow as a noted webmaster resource.  A personal benefit to me is that I don't have to spend hours looking for good information on web design, it comes to the site.  This helps everyone by centralizing information and making it easier to research your design projects. 

Another issue that effects page rank and SERPs is content; fresh, relevant content to be exact.  By keeping the content on MyWebResource fresh, it helps boost our standings in search engines, which in turn helps increase the value of the link back to your site.  As you can see, this is a mutually beneficial arrangement. ;-)

What is the catch?
There is none! MyWebResource doesn't require membership. There are no fees associated with publishing anything on MyWebResource. There are no pop-up advertisements. In fact, we have intentionally limited the number of advertisements on the site so as not to distract from the content too much. We only have enough advertisements to cover the cost of keeping MyWebResource online!

So, why are you doing this?
Pure and simple, I love web design!  I want to learn as much as I possibly can about all aspects of web design and development and I want to share that knowledge with like minded people.

So what are you waiting for?! You can start getting free advertisement for your site, while contributing to a rapidly growing resource of web design knowledge right now!

I look forward to sharing knowledge with you.

How NOT to Publish an Ezine

I have written several articles on how to publish an ezine, so this time I thought it might be interesting to write an article on how NOT to publish an ezine.

I have written several articles on how to publish an ezine, so this time I thought it might be interesting to write an article on how NOT to publish an ezine.

Sometimes it helps to learn things when you can look at both sides of the prices - the right way and the wrong way.  So here goes - what NOT to do when publishing an ezine.

1. Leave out your name and contact info - Who would want to get in touch with you anyway.  Your readers don't care if there is a real live dependable person writing the ezine.  NOT!

Your readers definitely want to know that there is a real person there that they can contact if they want or need to.  This helps establish trust.

2. Put as many squiggles and decorations in your ezine as possible - So, your readers get a headache while trying to read your ezine, deal with it.  NOT!

Squiggles may look cute, but they could make it hard for many people to read your ezine.  Keep the design neat and clean for easy reading.

3. Load the ezine with ads - I mean after all, isn't that why you are publishing your ezine.  NOT!

No, you are not publishing an ezine to run tons of ads, you are publishing an ezine to build that important relationship of trust and respect with your readers.  This helps build your business and your reputation.

4. Don't bother sending it out regularly - After all, most people can't read it every time anyway.  NOT!

How can people trust and believe what you say when they can't even depend on you to send your ezine on schedule.

5. Don't add any original material - Just use all the same material other publishers are using.  It works for them, why not for you.  NOT!

Always have original material in your ezine, even if it is just an editorial or some tips.

6. Why bother with a disclaimer or privacy policy - Readers know their email is safe with you.  They also figure if it is in your ezine, you recommend it.  NOT!

Never assume anything.  Your readers want to be assured that their email is not being handed out for profit or promotion.  Also, you want your readers to know that they should check out all offers, opportunities and ads. Just because it is in your ezine, does not mean you are recommending it.

7. Content is content, right - As long as your ezine is full of "stuff", it is helpful.  NOT!

Try to give your readers basic, straightforward, helpful information that they can actually use to benefit them.  Don't use hyped up ads disguised as tips or articles. Quality content is key.

8. Don't let your readers get to know you - They are interested in your ezine, not you.  NOT!

Your readers need to know you so they can trust you and know that they can depend on you to publish a consistent, quality ezine.

9. Don't bother formatting the ezine correctly - Who cares how many characters are in each line, it all reads the same.  NOT!

Definitely format your ezine uniformly and evenly.  You want to produce a clean, sharp, professional ezine.

10. Don't waste time proofreading.  Everybody makes mistakes, right?  What is a mistake or two - nobody is perfect.  NOT!

Take the time to make sure all spelling and grammar is correct in your ezine before you send it out.  After all, you are a professional, right?

I hope these tips have given you a good idea on how NOT to publish an ezine and a fresh perspective on how to correctly publish an ezine.  Producing a quality ezine that your readers can depend on will be a very big business booster!

How to blog your way to success?

Blog is a short of "weB LOG" or a method of storing any kind of information online. Such organized informational posting and archiving was named "Blog".By the form Blog represents an updated web-site of current and archived posts. A dead-simple concept turned out to be extremely powerful in terms of satisfaction of Internet community needs.
Blog is a short of "weB LOG" or a method of storing any kind of information online. Such organized informational posting and archiving was named "Blog".By the form Blog represents an updated web-site of current and archived posts. A dead-simple concept turned out to be extremely powerful in terms of satisfaction of Internet community needs.
People online look for fresh, relevant information on a certain topic and this is where Blogs come into arena and win that battle for a visitors' attention hands-down.
They give you exactly what you need - targeted, updated information on any given topic, with an access to archive, search functions and even some sort of interactive experience as you can usually read comments of other visitors and participate in a small discussion like on a message board.
Why Blog can be just the perfect solution you have been looking for and how it can solve massive publishing problems at once. Here is why Blog can be your website and money-making system in one:
1. Blog is a simple CMS (Content Management System). It helps you solve hundreds of little hassles webmasters were forced to waste months before in order to solve each of them such as means of easy creating new pages with automatic cross-linking and archiving functions, installing visitor feedback script, managing and updating navigational menu, republishing RSS feeds and creating own feed and so on.
2. Built-in promotion. RSS feed is also a great viral marketing tool by itself. You don't have to stuff your head with "how-to-make-my-content-viral" problems any "traditional" website webmaster faces.
As a Blog publisher you use the same RSS feed as a way of syndicating your Blog content for any other websites. What they need is adding your RSS feed to their Feed rendering software. The technology is highly popular, so you will not have any problems with that.
Just add your RSS feed to a number of Blog Directories, ping (notify) Blog servers each time you make a new post (a common built-in feature for almost all Blogs) and in 90% case it will be enough to start your marketing ball rolling plus reassure fast search engine indexing.
3. Built in RSS (Atom) feeds are considered by many to be the ideal solution for all SPAM and filters problems of "traditional" email marketers.
RSS feeds are updated automatically as soon as you make a new post to your Blog. No more troubles with managing "email lists", subscribers, unsubscribers, email filters, HTML forms, SPAM complaints, follow-ups and so on and so forth. Forget about it. RSS will help you do everything, including follow-ups and even email courses publishing.
The difference, and many consider it to be the true benefit, is that RSS uses so-called "pull" method of delivering a message. Unlike "traditional" email, you don't have to send (push) anything to anybody. When you publish a new post, your RSS feed updates automatically, pings syndicating websites with a new Blog post and notifies (or not) your RSS subscribers about your new post, so they can load (pull) it and read.
That is how RSS solves SPAM emails and SPAM filters problems with one stone. Your subscribers just don't receive anything to be complained or worried about. They just personally subscribe to your RSS feed (no one can subscribe for them) with their special RSS reader program (RSS aggregator, available free everywhere on the net). Then they periodically and mostly automatically load your new Blog posts. If they don't like it, they just remove your RSS feed from their RSS feed aggregator software and that's all. Unlike email you cannot "push" your post to their RSS soft without their wish. Depending on set options, they need to manually, semi-automatically or automatically load your Blog post themselves.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against email. Quite the contrary, at some point, when you feel that you have a lot of spare time because of advantages that RSS brings, I strongly advise you to add email marketing to your arsenal. It does help you out in some special occasions. It is just you won't rely on email as the only money-making resource and will use it professionally as a great add-on instrument, limiting its possible negative effects.
From what you can see, blogs are perfect and simple software machines to run and maintain your informational business. They proved their efficiency in small niche markets as well as multilevel blog systems generating stable income for their glad owners. You can be one of them.

Online press release can provide considerable platform to reach huge online community. This article will provide complete guidance to make out well optimize and well written press release for PR distribution through the press release network. A well prepared press release would attract journalists and is also well optimized for distribution to targeted audience.

Proper keywords: Selecting key word is the most important part of press release optimization. Be very careful while deciding on a keyword phrase that is pertinent to the product or service you are offering. The best recommended tool to search keywords is wordtracker.com.

Keyword or phrase position: Place key phrase into the headline and the title of your press release. Try to repeat it nearly 2-3 times in the content of the release.

Starting should be solid: Remember to make your title and initial lines cover that you want to express. The remaining part of your press release should depict the detailed information.

Use product name repetitively: Repeat placements of the name of your service or product to make it eminent. For example, write “Search Engine Optimization” instead of writing “SEO”, this would make your product name much popular.

Draft it for Journalists/Media agencies: The media agencies and journalists would grab your press release and publish it in their publications; they may slightly edit your press release.

Consider viewer’s interest: You should consider to whom you are targeting your press release, and what is their interest. Think, if you were a part of audience, would you like to read the press release you have written.

Make your press release appear practical: Point out real facts of your company/organization, as readers are already so scholar enough to find out ‘what’s true and what not’?

Make your story that includes real facts: Avoid untrue examples and add-ons. If you find the content using much added extras, make it natural and real. Your press release should be in active voice, not passive. Verbs in the active voice makes your press release live.

Use only sufficient and essential words: Avoid using superfluous adjectives, extravagant language, or unnecessary expressions like “The most powerful”. Tell your story with lesser words, as verbosity distracts from your content.

Avoid usage of terminology: However, a limited use of terminology would be allowed if required, if you aim to optimize news release for internet search engines. The finest technique to communicate your press release is to speak neatly, using regular language.

Keep away from too many exclamations: Too much usage of exclamation point (!) may harm your press release. But, if you have to use an exclamation point, use only one.

Get company permission: Companies are very self-protective about their recognition and credibility. So, get written permission before putting in any information or quotes about the company.

Company Information: The press release should include a short description of company, which depicts your company, products, service and a brief history of company.

Pick precise PR distribution network: Deciding on press release distribution network is also an important. There are hundreds of free press release distribution networks exist so it is critical to select on whether to go for paid services or free.

Propose RSS feeds: Assist journalist by offering RSS feeds so that they haul to your website. Through this interested parties will get known that you have relevant release on the topic for, which they are searching for.

Publish releases often: Try to publish press releases frequently to be recognized as news source for news agencies such as Yahoo news and Google news.
