Seo - How To Get Into About.com

About(dot)com is a very comprehensive index that combines site listings with reviews and editorial content. An editor or guide runs each category, and they are the individuals that you have to appeal to in order for your site to be listed. The easiest way to get their attention is a direct email, as opposed to using the "Feedback" link on the pages. Usually it takes ages for about.com to get back to you as they are looking for bigger sites or sites that are very specific to what the articles on their site are about. One way to get their attention is to give them a link that leads them to your offer as an affiliate program. This is because most of the articles on there are accompanied by index after index of affiliate sites.

Your best plan of attack to getting listed in About (dot)com is to:

1. Pick an "about" category that suits your site.

2. Submit an article that you have written on one of your domain pages.

3. Offer a link back. Put a link to their site even before contacting them and said, "I find your site such a great resource that I've listed you in our links page.

The guides at about.com are also looking for what they call deep links. This may not necessarily be your homepage, but rather an article that you have written from an "expert" point of view. These articles are used to search engine optimize about.com’s site. Once your article is added it is reciprocated to the about.com site, which is a monster site in the eyes of the search engines. Even getting just one article published on about.com can boost your search engine rankings substantially. This works because as you will recall, exchanging links with a site that is much bigger than you is a crucial strategic tactic when it comes to following the principles of excellent search engine optimization.

A Quick Look At Search Engine Optimization

Search engine optimization, also known simply as SEO, is the practice of improving a web site’s ranking in Google, Yahoo, MSN and other search engines. The goal of SEO is to optimize a web site (on and off the page) so that it ranks well for a specific set of keywords. Although this may seem like a simple enough task, it is actually a very complicated and challenging one. Not only do you have to compete against other web sites, but you also have to deal with the search engines. Every major search engine has a different algorithm, and what may improve your ranking in one search engine could potentially lower your ranking in another one. Although there are many factors and practices within the search engine optimization community, here are some of the more common on page search engine optimization techniques:

Meta Tags-Although they used to carry much more weight, meta tags should still be optimized as a part of basic on page search engine optimization. Every web page on your web site should contain a unique meta description, along with several meta keywords which describe the content of the web page. SEOs should avoid “stuffing” meta tags. Stuffing meta tags is the practice of using tons of meta tags on one page. Although this used to be considered a “Black Hat” technique, it is now nothing more than a foolish attempt at improving your search engine ranking.

Header Tags-H1 and H2 tags should be optimized in the same fashion as the meta tags. If possible, the header tags should be slightly different than the meta tags. However, they should still contain the same important keywords that you want your web page to rank well for.

Out of all the on page SEO factors, the most important is original content. When writing content, try to write in a normal conversational tone instead of writing systematically for the search engines.

Seo - Exclusive Blog Content Enhances Seo

As you may or not be aware, some search engines search for exclusive, specific or rare content. They look for content on your site that is not available from other sources and once they find it they then rate your pages accordingly. The beautiful thing about blogging is that your content does not have to be long or elaborate in order to get across a unique, point or piece of information that will impress the search engine. In fact the basic structure of your log should consist of about two hundred and fifty words of commentary and server who link or two to some interesting sites (including something on your own!)

There are individuals who write longer blogs but instead go to other sources on the web and rewrite articles that they have found. The problem with this tact is that a search engine spider may be able to note if it has seen this type of information before and not rank your blog page very high.

It is also a good idea to lure the search engine spiders by adding material frequently to a blog. When you continually refresh material it keeps them coming back. For instance if you have a 1200 word article on search engine optimization you would like to post on a blog you are better off to divide that article into 400 word pieces and have each of them discussing a different virus. Dividing longer articles into shorter pieces is a way of making the most of its marketing potential.

It also helps if you think of your blog as having a specific goal or purpose that it must achieve. This is what will possibly make your exclusive content different then any other type of information that the search engine spiders and robots may have run across while searching for material to index. The more focused your goals are the more unique your blog content is likely to be.

Revealing The Affiliate Residual Income Marketing Secret

Marketing is the foundation for any successful business. Marketing involves bringing across your ideas to others, getting them interested in these ideas and then selling these ideas to them. Successful marketing arouses a person's interest to find out more about your program or products.

Affiliate programs usually are centered on a website, which is the knowledge base for the program. Visitors of the website may choose to buy or sign up. How can you secure a successful hit then? This is difficult because there are so many similar programs on the internet. The visitor may choose to ignore and move on because your website is no different from other websites.

YOU NEED TO CATCH THEIR ATTENTION!

Your ad must be unique and your website must contain comprehensive information to attract the visitor's attention, and his willingness to find out more on his own. This is what residual income is all about!

To begin your marketing campaign, you need well written ads, eye-catching ads that make a person want more information. Your ads must arouse a person’s curiosity and generate an interest in him to spend time learning about the product or program. So, first you make a person curious about what you are selling, and then bring him to your website to learn more about it. It is very critical that your website has all the information ready for him, such that it makes him want to either sign up as an affiliate or buy the products. You would have then earned yourself an opportunity to make residual income.

You only need to place ads and the website will handle the rest. That is the goal in residual income – ongoing income with a little work. You can build a stable residual income through Affiliate Program if your marketing campaign is successful.

Is Ebook Protection Really Necessary?

I hear many people stating that we should not worry so much about protection and focus on our customers. Documents will be misused and that's that...you can't do anything about it!

Those saying this must not have much to lose or risk by this type of thinking. Or they have never really had their information stolen, distributed or otherwise exploited in a manner beyond their control... at least not to any large degree.

Because once it happens to you - once you see your file being passed around on illegally, it's not so easy to ignore - or turn the other cheek. Especially if the material contributes largely to your income.

It is possible that if you are only selling a few $14 ebooks a month, misuse of your document is not as critical or important. But this thinking is not for everyone.

So the truth is, YES we should focus on our customers. But protecting your information does not mean ignoring, or lack of customer service.

The level of protection you must strive for should be tantamount to the perceived value and critical nature of the information. In other words, the more important the information, the more protection is warrants.

If you are lawyer sending a critical brief to your legal team, you can't turn a blind eye if they document is misused.

If you are a designer sending your proprietary designs to a client, you can't afford to have that document misused.

If you are a ghost writer and you send an unprotected manuscript to a client, you can only hope that they don't take the information without paying.

So first consider the value of your material. Next ask yourself what kind of damage it could do to your company if that information or material was available freely.

Based on those answers, find a protection solution that fits your needs.
