I did my masters in IT and now I have started learning search engine optimization on my own. I know a little bit about SEO. But I want to master it by all means.

Do a search for Brad Calles "SEO made easy", it is a free ebook. It is a great e book that explains the basics of SEO. There are some outdated methods for getting links, but the basics still apply and always will when it comes to SEO.

As an IT pro, you have to remember that we are dealing with computers, they work by running a program or algo that dictates what it does and how it does it, and Google is no different. Google does not wake up mad and treat your site bad, it does not prefer one color site over another, it just runs it’s program and ranks sites accordingly.

I can tell you this up front, 80% of top rankings is based on incoming links. the Title of each page plays a good portion of onpage, and properly anchored links from related "PAGES" not sites is what makes up the mass majority of SEO.

I already know backlink.com Let me know what you recommend.I want to buy links. What is the cheapest search engine optimization company?

I suggest you to try some Dofollow blog commenting to get good Backlinks. I found a good dofollow blog commenting service. Not many but just 30 links you can buy from them. But all will be good quality backlinks to your site. I think the price is not too high.

Do search engines take the names of DOM elements like divs and tables into account. So for example would a div called "some keyword" be better than one called "body"?

Search engines don’t index elements. When the page is spidered the tags would be removed (and possibility the content within the tag ie: <script>) and the straight text parsed and indexed. Otherwise scripts, styles, etc would be indexed and yeild unfavourable results.

They could however use them to navigate the page and well formed HTML will parse better and yield better results. Image tags could be indexed for image searches and links could be spidered.

I have an existing website with a combination of html and php pages. I want to optimize some of these pages for search engines. Will the same techniques (keywords, descriptions, etc) that work on html pages work on php pages?

You optimize .php pages the exact same way you optimize .html pages. The search engines NEVER see your PHP code… they see the resulting HTML that gets rendered server-side by the PHP. It’s the HTML that is returned when the crawler requests the page that gets indexed and used for ranking.

As far was "what" to optimize, there is basically two types of optimization… on-page and off-page optimization. On-page optimization means using elements ON the page to help your page rank. Off-page optimization is using elements OFF the page (on other pages of your site as well as on pages on other sites) to help your page rank.

Overall, it is off-page factors that carry the most weight… i.e. inbound links from other pages using your targeted keyword phrase or slight variations as the link text… preferably from pages that are relevant to the topic you’re trying to rank for and pages with high PR or link popularity. It’s estimated that off-page factors might influence 70-80% of your overall ranking while on-page factors might influence 20-30% of your overall ranking.

Here’s a quick rundown of on-page factors:

Optimizing the title element is very important since it’s generally the most important on-page ranking factor for most search engines ranking algorithms. The title should target a single keyword phrase (possibly 2-3 IF they are VERY similar… almost identical in meaning and keywords). Minimize "fluff" words in the title element as they reduce the keyword density within that HTML element and thus make the real keyword phrase(s) you want to rank for seem less important. Put the most important keyword phrase first in the title element if you have multiple keyword phrases in the title. Avoid putting your site name in the title as it only hurts your page’s ability to rank.

The h1 element is generally the 2nd most important on-page ranking factor. It should reinforce the keyword phrase(s) targeted in the title. Since it’s less important from a ranking perspective, it’s ok to add a few fluff words to give it more pazzazz or marketing flair. But again keyword density withing the h1 element does affect rankings slightly. Every page should have a single h1.

The h2 element is generally the 3rd most important on-page ranking factor. If your content lends itself to have sub-headers, then use them… again targeting keywords from the title element.

Words that are emphasized using bold or strong/italics or em are given a little more weight than words that are not. But I avoid this as it tends to make pages look spammy.

Using keywords that your title is targeting in the page name is also useful. It’s a very minor ranking factor but MOST ranking factors are minor. It’s rarely any single thing that you do that makes a page rank well. It’s the sum of lots of small things that you do that when taken as a whole leads to good rankings.

Optimizing the meta keywords element is virtually worthless. Google and most search engines ignore it in their ranking algorithm because it has been sooooooooooo abused by blackhats and spammers over the last decade. Yahoo! is still using it to rank pages as Danny Sullivan (a renowned SEO) proved just days after a Yahoo! exec announced at SMX that Yahoo! did NOT use it. I include a meta keywords element in all of my pages just for completeness (not for rankings). I use 5-10 keyword phrases and ONLY words/phrases that appear on the page.

The meta description is also ignored by Google and most search engines for the same reason… it is not displayed on the page so it has been abused by spammers and blackhat SEOs. BUT optimizing the meta description element is VERY important since having a good meta description with a call to action can greatly improve click-thru-rate when your page appears in the SERPs and the meta description is shown as the snippet of text for your organic listing. At Google they only show your meta description if all keywords in the user’s search phrase appear in the meta description. So I recommend including all keywords from your title in the meta description since the keyword phrases in the title "should" be the pages most often used to find your page if it is well optimized. This will maximize how often it is shown as the Google snippet.

As far as off-page factors (which are the absolute MOST important ranking factors at almost all engines):

The link text used in hyperlinks pointing to your page give the search engines STRONG clues as to what your page is about. Using "Click here" as link text for a hyperlink is worthless… it only helps you rank for the keyword phrase "click here". Be very cognizant of how you link to your pages both on your site on from other sites where you might drop a link.

Inbound links from relevant and/or high PR pages on external sites with your targeted keyword phrase (from your page’s title) or slight variations are the MOST important thing you can do to help your page rank for its

I have heard so many bad horror stories about some of these SEO firms ripping people off and costing them a fortune, but not getting any better rankings in return. Are there any legitimate, reputable firms out there that anyone can direct me to?
I’ve read all about SEOs, ranking, optimization, etc. I have optimized my site the best I know how, but I think it still needs a lot of help and I dont have the know-how, time or interest to delve into that area on my own.
I only will want to pay for a service if it will truly help get me into the top 10 or so that some of these firms claim. Is this realistic…or are all these firms bogus? Thanks

You are right there are thousands of rip off merchants who could not SEO themselves out of a paper bag!

To find a professional SEO company use http://www.seoconsultants.com/ and draw up a shortlist.

When you interview your shortlist ask them for 5+ references from current clients and make sure you follow them all up. Also ask to see a sample contract.

Unfortunately the most reliable and best SEOs are expensive which is why a lot of people end up trying to do it themselves.

I have two websites, www.howland.ws and www.dennishowland.ws. How can I get them to show up on a Google web search? When I google these, no links are returned. I am new to internet marketing, so please excuse my ignorance.

I’d suggest you download the ebook about internet traffic here:http://tinyurl.com/237cvqj .
It’s a simple and straight-forward ebook with step-by-step instructions that can produce a lot of traffic, leads and income for you if you’re willing to put in the small amount of time and effort to do it.

The truth of the matter is that the ebook is proven to be effective when it comes to ranking websites. So if your trying to build an online income without a powerful Marketing System you will always be climbing a slippery slope.

Most people put a website up on the internet, put their website address on all their promotional advertising like business cards, flyers, etc. and then sit back and wait while they fantasize about all the money that will soon be rolling their way. The problem is that the money never comes. So what are they missing? The answer is search engine optimization or SEO. You see, your website has to rank high in order for people to be able to find it among the thousands or hundreds of thousands of competitors you may have on the internet. The following basic terms may help you understand the need for and basics of SEO.

What is search engine optimization?

There are certain techniques and tactics that can help your website get higher rankings. Using these methods with that end in mind is known as search optimization or SEO. One of the most important parts of SEO is including high-quality content on your website. Your content or articles should be relevant to your topic, rich in the right keywords and informative to the reader. The search bots crawl your site and then complicated algorithms are used to rank your site.

What are search bots?

Search bots or spiders are computer programs that scan the content of your website and then relay important information about it back to the search engines. They look for consistency between your Meta tags, titles and keywords. They also check your keyword density, sitemap and other website features.

What is an algorithm?

An algorithm is a complicated mathematical formula that allows a variety of data (from your website) to be used in order to assign a particular value to something. So for your website, the algorithm is going to take a variety of seemingly unrelated factors and can combine them in just the right way to give your website its search engine ranking. The items mentioned above like keywords, keyword density, your sitemap, ease of use as well as other factors like how many backlinks to your site exist on the internet are all taken into consideration.

What is a search engine “ranking”?

Basically, this is what determines how much money your website is going to make. When a person puts a keyword or phrase into an engine like Google, they get back a page of results. Where your website is in those results is your ranking. For instance, the top result in the search has the number one ranking for that keyword. If your site is not on the first page of results the odds of anyone clicking on your site are dramatically reduced.

Hopefully these definitions have given you some insight into the complicated world of SEO. Sometimes it is best to simply hire an SEO expert, especially in the beginning and then you can kind of learn as you earn. SEO is a complicated game, but the rewards are great for those who break the code and remain persistent.

I have a website, just want some pointers on how to get more traffic and show up in the search engines

http://homebizseo.com/SEO/Backlinks.html Creating back links is the #1 way to increase rank. Get you metatags correct for easy searching. Inbound links accomplish 2 things for a
website, increase traffic
and helps with Search Engine
Optimization (SEO).

Backlinks increases traffic. Just think of
all inbound links as a
commercial on the web that drives web
users to your site. When then links are
clicked the user is in your website.
Backlinks are that effective. If TV
advertisements were that effective you
would literally see a commercial and be
instantly transported to a fast-food
restaurant, car dealership or fashion
shop.

This article which you are about to read has been written because of a growing interest in search engine optimization, and I want to try and answer some of the questions currently being asked.

E commerce is a cut throat business. You have to arm yourself with the proper know how and the tools to make your site a cut above the rest. Each day, more and more sites are clambering to optimize their rankings in websites and if you lose your guard, you may just get trampled on and be left in the abyss filled with so many failed e commerce sites.

Search Engine Optimization or SEO is a term widely used today by many e commerce sites. For the past few years and the next ten years or so, search engines will be the most widely used internet tool to find the sites that surfers need to go to for the product or information they need.

Most people that use search engines use only the ten top search results in the first page. Making it to the first page, more so to the top three is a barometer of a sites success in search engine optimization. You will get a higher ratio of probability in being clicked on when you rank high. The more traffic for your site, the more business you rake in.

But, it is essential to grab a hold of that spot or make your ranking even better. As I aforementioned, each day is a new day for all e commerce sites to make them selves rank higher using SEO. It is imperative to make your site better and better everyday.

So just what is search engine optimization and do you have to use it? The answer to why you have to use it is an easy one. You need SEO in order to be number one, or maybe at least make your site income generating.

With this system you can get the benefit of generating a high traffic volume. Lets just say you get only a turn out of successful sales with 10 to 20 percent of your traffic. If you get a hundred hits or more a day, you get a good turn out of sales already. If you get only twenty to ten hits a day, you only get one or two if not any at all.

Now before you read any further I just want to jump in here and say that I really do hope that you are finding this article helpful. At the end of this article I will be giving you some ideas on where you can gather more information on this subject, but for now, lets continue.

So once again, what is search engine optimization? Put simply, it is a means of utilizing tools and methods in making your site top ranking in the results of search engines. Getting yourself in the first page and better yet in the top half of the page will ensure that your site will generate public awareness of your sites existence and subsequently generate more traffic, traffic that could lead to potential income and business.

Search engine optimization requires a lot of work to be fully realized. There are many aspects you have to change in your site or add as well to get there. These will include getting lots of information about the keyword phrases that are popular in regards to your sites niche or theme.

You may also need to rewrite your sites contents so that you could get the right keyword phrases in your site without making it too commercial but light and informative. There are certain rules and guidelines to be followed with making your sites content applicable and conducive to search engine optimization.

You will also need to collaborate with many other sites so that you can get link exchanges and page transfers. The more inbound and outbound traffic generated by sites among others are one of the components search engines uses to rank sites.

Try to search the internet for many useful help and ideas. Tips, guidelines and methods for search engine optimization are plenty to be found. Read many articles that can help you optimize your site in search engine results. The more knowledge and information you gather the better. This will all help you in getting those high rankings.

Need to hire a search engine professional optimization firm can anyone recommend tips to avoid getting burnt?

Ask any candidate SEO firm a simple question:

Show me one of your client’s site which can be found using "generic" keywords [not a domain name] as a search query on google.com or yahoo.com search engines and limit the generic keyword query to no more than 4 words. The search result must show that the website is PageRanked within the top 15 search results.

If your candidate SEO firm says that cannot be done. Then perhaps consider spending $20 on Peter Kent’s "search engine optimization for Dummies.. which provides sufficient expert strategies to elevate your website to a greater audience on major search engines.

I’m considering the option of listing my website in the Yahoo! Directory. Before handing over $299, I’d like to know if it still has high value to search engine algorithms. I have heard that DMOZ.org has lost a bit of value recently, with the advent of social bookmark sites. If that is true, has anyone heard the same regarding the Yahoo! Directory?

Thanks!

well the yahoo directory doesnt give you a direct link to your site, so you dont get the seo benefit of that link.

It doesnt hurt, but is it worth it……. I honestly didnt see any changes to my traffic after trying it, and I still have less pages in yahoo than any other search engine.

Your home page is the crown jewel of your website. This vide is an excerpt from our ‘home page workshop’ which you can find on the JM Internet Group Website as a free video (www.jm-seo.org).

I’m kind of new to this and I’m curious how someone goes about doing this. Like do you have to pay Google to get ur site on the top of the list or what? And if it is at the top of the search, is it like that forever?

Hi,

No, SEO doesn’t cost anything, It’s how you organize and structure your site so that the search engine spiders come to your site and index it so that people can find it. Since there are billions of websites out there, you may get listed but you’ll probably just be added to the bottom of the list unless you use search engine optimization.

The way to optimize your site is to use the right keyword-focused content. If you want to know what that entails, here’s an article that explains it: http://www.simple-internet-strategies.com/search-optimization.html

There are ways to pay Google to get to the top of the list but you would be clearly marked as an advertiser and therefore, you probably wouldn’t get clicked on as often as the unpaid listings. I don’t have stats to back that up but it makes sense, doesn’t it? Who willingly listens to an advertiser?

In my line of business I get asked a lot of questions but one of the questions I have been asked lately is “Do you do geo targeting”. Recently Local Search Engine Optimization has been accepted by many of the webmasters and local businesses within the industry and people are really using the localized option to their benefit. The Local Search Engine Optimization option allows websites to be ranked high for localized search queries.

So for example if you were looking for an optimizer for your website before you may have looked up things like Search Engine Optimization or Search Engine Optimizer. I can bet you came up with like 50000000 results right? Well now you can do searches for things like Tampa search engine optimization and businesses and websites that have these phrases in their meta tags and title can be found on Google. This is a great option for you the user and for the businesses as well because it allows you to find businesses within your place of residence but it also allows the websites to make money off of localized customers.

Most of us already know how important SEO is to begin with but with the Localized Search Engine Optimization option this could also bring you more business, more visitors and more opportunities. Your website is made to be a communicative branch of your company or business. And the whole reason you have a website to begin with is to reach a wider audience online, right? I mean there are over 800 million people worldwide that have an Internet connection that is a lot more people than you could ever reach in the real world.

Plus with online services and advertising its much cheaper. I knew someone that thought it would be a good idea to do radio advertising, they spent about $10,000 on one “ad” that got put on the radio for a month, profit wise they actually ended up losing money rather than gaining it!

Just think you could spend a quarter of that advertising online, hiring an SEO to do your website, and you could actually make three, four, even five times the profit margin! If you have a website and you do some sort of a localized service it is absolutely essential that you check out localized search engine optimization! Make more, spend less! And with companies that do localized search engine optimization this process is simple, efficient and quick! Check it out today!
