3:41 am - Not Ranking High Enough On Search Engines?

Link-Pop.Org|Link Exchange|SEO Articles|Link Building:Not Ranking High Enough On Search Engines?
Jason DeVelvis
Search engines are frugal things. (Froogle, too, haha! Sorry, lame joke) They take many, many things into consideration when ranking your pages. Below are some things you should do to be sure you’re ranked as high as possible.
Keywords
Go for keyphrases, not single keywords. Unless you want to spend the next 3 months trying to break into the first page for a single keyword, focus on keyphrases. Besides, most searchers search for two or more words. Single keywords just don’t provide the targeted results searchers are looking for.
Focus on the keyphrases that you can take over. Keyphrases like “Exit now” or “Exit Here” or even a keyword like “Exit” will be next to impossible for you to get a top 3 ranking, because of the overwhelming popularity for porn site landing pages to put a link to Yahoo, Google, or Disney with the anchor text of one of those keyphrases mentioned above. Go ahead, try it out – type one of them into Google and see what you get. Funny enough, Disney recently took the lead over Yahoo for the keyword “Exit.” Go Disney go!
Site Focus
Don't allow your site to focus on more than 1-2 different things. Create separate sites for each product or service, and if you’d like, a main site to describe your company, and have it link to all of your products. This will allow you to better target your pages, because a user looking for widgets isn’t going to stick around long on a page for a company that sells widgets and woozles, when they don’t see information about widgets (even if it’s blatantly obvious) Think about it this way: You’re always one click away from losing a customer on the internet. Do everything you can to eliminate that one click.

2:30 am - Get a top 10 ranking without paying a cent

Posted By Link Pop
Get a top 10 ranking without paying a cent By Glenn Murray | SEO Copywriter & Article PR specialist *
If there's one thing that Google loves, it's content. Done right, a content rich website is almost guaranteed to rank highly. But how to get that content? You can write it yourself, but that takes a lot of time. You can pay an SEO copywriter to write it for you, but that takes a lot of money. If only there was another option...
What if you could get your content for free? And not just a little bit of content; a lot! What if you could get an almost unlimited supply of keyword rich, expertly written content, specific to your subject matter, absolutely free of charge? Would you snap it up and upload to your site in an instant? Of course you would! Well here's the good news: you can! Read on to find out how you can get a top ten ranking in the search engines without paying a single cent...
YES, CONTENT GIVES YOU A GREAT RANKING
Content is king. This is widely acknowledged as fact, but if you need further convincing, consider the following two points:
Point 1 - In Google's own words, one of the keys to a high ranking is to "create a useful, information-rich site" (from “Google Information for Webmasters” - http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html).
Point 2 - Google insider, codenamed 'Google Guy', advocates a list 26 steps to building a high ranking site. Step 5 of the list says, "build one page of content and put online per day at 200-500 words" (from Brett Tabke's "26 steps to 15k a Day" - http://www.searchengineworld.com/misc/guide.htm, advocated by Google Guy in a WebMasterWorld QA session - http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum30/29727-6-10.htm).
BUT WHY DOES CONTENT GIVE YOU A GREAT RANKING?
I won't go into any further detail about IF Google loves content. I will, however, briefly explain WHY. Google's love affair with content is based on two key attractions:
1) Google loves sites with a lot of content because it assumes they provide a lot of useful information. And remember, that's the whole reason Google exists - to help people find useful information. The more helpful Google's results, the more traffic (and revenue) it gets.
2) Google loves sites that have a lot of links pointing to them because this means other webmasters hold your site in high regard, and Google assumes this means the content is useful. And naturally, if you create a useful site, other webmasters will link to it because this makes them useful to their visitors (thereby developing site loyalty), and they gain credibility and authority because they're associated with you.
SO HOW CAN YOU GET FREE CONTENT FOR YOUR WEBSITE?
Three words: 'free reprint articles'. There are hundreds of thousands of people out there writing high quality, helpful, informative articles on virtually every topic imaginable, then giving these article away to any webmaster who wants to publish them on a website. In exchange for the article, the author asks only that you retain the author bio at the end, complete with all links (e.g. "Glenn Murray is an SEO Copywriter and Article Submission Specialist...).
To find free content for your website, simply visit any one of hundreds of 'article banks' on the Internet such as http://www.ezinearticles.com, http://www.goarticles.com, or http://www.articleblast.com. Browse or search for the subject you're interested in, then take the article(s) for free. There is absolutely no charge. Some of these sites will even send a regular stream of articles direct to your website (using RSS).
Alternatively, you can sign up to any number of article distribution lists and get articles delivered direct to your email inbox. Again, it's absolutely free! Some of the better known distribution lists include http://groups.yahoo.com/group/article_announce, http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/Free-Content, and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Free-Reprint-Articles.
TIP: The article banks and distribution lists mentioned above are just the tip of the iceberg. There are hundreds more - just do a search for "free reprint articles", "article submission", "article submission site", "submit article", "article submit site", "free articles", or "free content". You may even find a site or list which only deals in articles relating to your particular subject matter.
WHY IS IT FREE?
Why are these authors giving their articles away? Because it helps the author's own search engine ranking. It's a promotional activity known as 'article PR'. As explained above, Google loves sites with lots of links pointing to them. Every time their article submission is published, the author gets another link to their website. In fact, if the article is really good, it may be published hundreds of times. And each time, it's another link to the author's website. Put simply, article submission is a writer's free pass to the top of the search engines. (In this sense, the "PR" in article PR stands for PageRank.)
Furthermore, like traditional public relations, article PR also conveys a sense of authority because your articles are widely published. And because you're proving your expertise and freely dispensing knowledge, your readers will trust you and will be more likely to remain loyal to you. (In this sense, the "PR" in article PR stands for Public Relations.)
HOW DO I KNOW IF THE QUALITY IS GOOD?
It's a process of natural selection. The better the article submission, the more often it will be published, so it's in the author's interest to write and submit articles of the highest quality. Of course, this doesn't always happen, but in most cases, you'll be reviewing the articles before you post them anyway, so if you discover one that's not up to scratch, don't use it.
In time, you'll become familiar with the authors who consistently put out good quality content - you may even find enough of them that you don't need to go looking for content from anyone else...
WHERE DO I PUT THE FREE CONTENT
Most people put the articles in an 'Articles' or 'Resources' section on their website, but you can put them anywhere you like.
HOW MUCH FREE CONTENT SHOULD I USE?
As much as you want or as little as you want. It all depends on your needs and the needs of your audience. If your audience expects that at least some of your site is original content, then give it to them.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE DUPLICATE CONTENT ISSUE?
It's not an issue!
There's a lot of a talk about how Google penalizes duplicate content. The theory is that when the majority of the content on two separate webpages (on different sites) is the same, the one with the higher PR will be shown and the other one will not.
Whether or not this theory is true is still a hot topic in search engine circles, but regardless, it doesn't affect people publishing free-reprint articles. When you publish the article, just make sure you have unique content around it. Generally, it's enough to have your own unique introduction to the page (which may be common to all pages), and your own navigation elements, headers, footers, sidebars, logos, images, etc.
CONCLUSION
Free reprint articles are a great way for you to achieve a high ranking. And you don't have to pay a cent! So what are you waiting for?
Happy reprinting! Article Source: http://www.link-pop.org/articles * Glenn Murray is a director of Divine Write. He is a renowned SEO copywriter and an article PR specialist. For more information, please visit www.DivineWrite.co

Christoph Puetz
Many webmasters are obsessed with the Google Page Rank. Articles and books have been written about Google PR (Page Rank). Forum postings cover the topic over and over again and about every 3 months tensions are rising when a possible Page Rank update is eventually happening. Page Rank updates are an interesting experience watching a small group of webmasters go a little crazy.
It all starts with somebody noticing the PR update in progress. This event will find its way into forums and newsgroups fast. Within minutes and hours the Internet community becomes aware of a Page Rank update. As Google.com uses several different data centers for its search engine services and also updates them in different intervals webmasters all over the world will see different results when looking for Page Rank results.

10:00 pm - Are You Hung-Up On Page Rank And Back Links?

Are You Hung-Up On Page Rank And Back Links?:
Tony Simpson
It's unfortunate that many website owners are so hung-up on Page Rank, they'll rarely if ever, link to a site with a page rank lower than their own.
I'm frequently approached by other website owners who it's clear want to exchange links with one of my websites for no other reason than its Page Rank and so they can get more back links to their own website.
That's my experience with quite a few of my own websites. It's not until you get around a Page Rank 4 do back links come without you having to go and find them.
Back link requests tend to come more from sites with Low Page Rank wanting to improve search engine ranking by getting back links from higher ranking websites. They're also frequently from websites that offer no relevant content to your visitors and are from totally unrelated areas.

Search Engine Submissions That Boost Link Popularity!:
Lil Waldner
�Submit to 10,000 Search Engines� or �Submit to over 200,000 <div align="left"><blockquote>Search Engines�. This kind of ads should attract customers. It looks great to submit to so many search engines. Submission software is offered that helps to submit hundreds of websites to hundreds of search engines during several hours. What is a realistic, possible result of all these nice tools? The achieved link popularity is near Zero, but the mail box is filled by the autoresponders from the mass of FFA (Free for all) search engines.
Which Search Engines count?
Only a few of the many search engines really count! 99,9 % of all those who go on-line to find something use one of the 18 top search engines. Scrub The Web provides this information in it�s member area. Yahoo, MSN Search and Google are the top three search engines according to Alexa Ranking. Alta Vista and AllTheWeb � also famous search engines - belong to Yahoo and are supplied by Yahoo.
If Link Popularity of a website is measured by the services that provide this information, only the Link Popularity of a website at Google, MSN, Yahoo, AllTheWeb, Alta Vista or Hot Bot is displayed. This shows that only a few search engines really count for Link Popularity. It is not necessary to submit to thousands of search engines, but to the few important search engines in the right way.

Reciprocal Link Exchange � Getting The Killer Results:
Bill Smith
New businesses start out with a lot of vigor when it comes to website promotion. However, after a while, they tend to fall back and find it difficult to promote their website. This article details on how to tackle the reciprocal link exchange with ease.
Search for related websites: I use Arelis software to search the web for potential candidates. You can search based on your keyword(s) to find sites of interest. eg., if you run a business site, you can search for �Business link exchange� and pull the results from Arelis. Visit each site and make sure it has at least a PR or 4 or more. The higher the PR, the better your chances of being placed on a page which will have a decent PR. Remember it is the quality of links that matter, not quantity.
Request a link: Arelis can pull the email address from the sites. From within Arelis, it is easy to send a note to the webmaster requesting a link. Webmasters who agree for link exchange will either upload your link or send you their code. Promptly add their code to your link page and write back.

10:10 pm - Reciprocal Link Building That Works
|
Reciprocal Link Building That Works:
By: Posted By Link Pop Copyright � 2005 Shawn Pringle
We all know the value of getting links to our site. Links bring you traffic from related sites and boost your search engine rank, which brings you, umm, more traffic. So, basically, links = traffic.
However, gone are the days of simply asking for a link (in exchange for a link from your site) and actually getting one. These days, bland reciprocal link requests such as these almost never yield any benefit because they are simply ignored. Think about this old-school approach from the email recipient�s point of view to understand why your link requests are ignored.
Webmasters of quality sites, the ones you want to get links from, are constantly dealing with link requests. 9 times out of 10 the webmaster simply sees �Link Exchange� and deletes the email. I know I do. I have more important things to do than to entertain requests that are most likely for sites that are not even relevant to mine.

Multiple Methods for Cultivating Inbound Links to your Website:

UNDERSTANDING THE VALUE OF INBOUND LINKS ON YOUR WEBSITE
Besides search engines, the next most common way people move from one website to another is through links on other sites.
The reason that the Internet is often referred to a the "Web" is because it exists so much as a web of links running from one site to another in a maze more complex than the spider web from which it is named.
GETTING YOUR LINKS ON OTHER SITES
If you submit your site to search engines, provided you get good results on the keywords being searched for, you will get good results.

Links From Web Rings:
Henry James
As internet linking proliferates with multitude user database, the concept of web rings has gradually evolved. Basically a web ring refers to a group of sites which have identical content and subject matter. These sites are linked together to form a navigational ring.
The basic concept behind web rings is that the visitors can navigate from one site to another for more information on identical subjects. This makes the task easier for a visitor who is trying to gather information regarding a specific subject.
Web rings contain a lot of links on similar topics. Some of the famous topics are cultures, business, finance, religion and much more.
If you want to create your link on one of the web rings, you would have to go through a simple registration process. The registration involves submitting of your URL, your name, your website description and your email address. Then you would have to choose a web ring login name and a password. After confirming all these things, you would submit them to the main web ring site.

How To Check Your Link Popularity: Henry James
The link popularity determines the number of websites linked to your website(s). By building link popularity of your websites with the other quality websites, you achieve targeted traffic, site popularity and most importantly, the business.
Your links’ popularity is measured by the search engines on the basis of the links of other websites connected to your website. They give you a page rank and determine the popularity of your websites. All the major search engines use this criterion to place a website among the top ten results. Say, you have 200 other pages linked to your website, so your link popularity is 200. You can also be among the top ten websites, if you have achieved link popularity to your site aptly. But, how to check your link popularity?
The answer to this question is as simple as the concept itself. You can check the popularity of your link with the help of online checking services. You can subscribe for them online.The procedure is too simple in fact. You just have to log on to a website offering the online service for link popularity and fill the form in front of you. Submit the form and you are free to get the popularity check reports daily, weekly or monthly.
The service charges for each of these services certainly vary.

How To Increase The Link Popularity Of Your Web Site:
John Taylor
Link Popularity is the term used to describe how popular your web site is by examining how many other web sites link to it. For example, if you only had one other web site linking to your site, then your link popularity would be one. In other words link popularity is a measure of how may other sites are willing to 'vote' for your site by adding a link to it. Is Link Popularity Important? Yes. Search engines have a hard job when it comes to deciding what search results to return. They attempt to return the most relevant results that are contained in their database. One significant problem that the search engines have is how to decide which web sites are best, which they basically do by calculating both the relevance of a site and its popularity. To determine relevancy the search engines look at a number of on page factors, such as your title tag, your description and the keyword density. To determine the popularity of your web site they look at how many links point to it. Most search engines work on the assumption that the more links a web site has pointing towards it, the better it must be. How Do I Check My Link Popularity......
