How Its Work- on Google Help

What Matt Cutts say about new Google Changes.




What other says?

Personalization and localization are here to stay, it will provide a better user experience. It’s relatively easy for the SEs to do. They already do IP mapping. Listing the cities, counties, states and countries in the service area will be more important. I’d like to see a “Turn It Off” checkbox though.

Placing higher weight on sites that contain Flash or Video is also easy for SEs. However, pulling apart an SWF file for all the different content that can be clicked just isn’t that easy. Harder yet is performing voice recognition on Video. I’m sure they both can be done but I’m thinking about the processor power required to do it. Even Google will be hard pressed considering the quantity. If the SEs rely on Meta Data, Alt’s or Comments, they open themselves up to keyword stuffing and the like. I just don’t see it happening, in the near term, on a large scale. I swap out content through scripts and AJAX so a good sitemap with all the content is very important.

This slide show is good to know more information about social media marketing.

See my squidoo love is not still decrease. Again one more post on squidoo. Today I am going to talk about Squidoo Lens Indexing problem in Search engines. Not only Google but also Yahoo is not indexing lens.

Now first I like to tell about lens and some SEO activity I did for it. The lens is one month old (and still not indexed). So if your lens gets index quickly then you lucky. After long talk in squidU I come with this “being lucky” conclusion. Since a week I am submitting lens in directory and book marking sites. Even I Digg it also. And also did some small activity. But till today its not indexed.

As SEO what is the solution for this? I am still searching. As I had started building links and didn’t get indexed. I also don’t trust with this building links and getting index with squidoo. Because lots of my lens gets index without backlinks and even you have also experienced that.

For short solution I am trying to get lens in top 100 positions I reach till 320.

Really this fastest way to lose weight is taking out my patience.

Researchers take a peep into bloggers' world

Thu, Apr 10 11:44 AM

Washington, April 10 (IANS) Researchers have turned the spotlight on a fascinating community of bloggers who exchanges ideas, information and knowledge on the web.

A University of California team examined the reading habits of 15 bloggers of various ages to determine how they consume content and interact with blogs and other blog writers.

Previous studies typically centred on blog writers, largely overlooking those who go online to read, comment and participate. Blog readers feel a responsibility to make insightful contributions.

While bloggers are expected to deliver frequent, high-quality posts, readers also place pressure on themselves to produce coherent, worthwhile comments in response to good blog posts.

'With the increased popularity of blogs, various tools like Blogger and Movable Type have made writing a blog easy for a wide audience,' said Eric Baumer of the University. He studies informatics, a discipline that focuses on the use of information technology in real-world settings.

'But, until the technology embraces the role of the audience, the full social potential of blogging remains untapped. One of the goals of this research is to stimulate the development of tools to foster that social potential in terms of both readers and bloggers,' he said.

The timing of a blog post is not nearly as relevant to readers as its position among the other entries. Readers are more likely to peruse the most recent posts at the top of the screen, and are generally less concerned with the exact age of a post.

A vast majority of participants said they were not bothered when they were not able to read each and every blog post, challenging a common theory that users tend to feel overwhelmed by the need to remain constantly up to date.

A better understanding of the reader-blogger connection could lead to new, advanced features that would enable richer interactions between the two groups.

For readers, an installed add-on could enrich their experience by tracking blog habits of which they might not be aware. For bloggers, a logging tool could help them easily distinguish between different types of readers and allow them to better connect with audiences.

Website Marketing Strategies

While I am surfing in linkedin (my profile sweta shah) question answer I come with this question “How do I market a website?” Is the big question for website owner. So I am giving all juice of that question with additional way of website marketing.

5. and many more

Some of them want to do website marketing by own self.

So here are some tips for this to market your website in easy way.

Know your target market? And reach to them

To find targeted market for different product is different so you need to work more for market research. You need to know the environment where this market exists and the channel which leads to this market. Dig on search engine find related website and do some market research. Then try to find how you get market from this website. Try not finding topic specific, social media community or blog related to your topic. Try to search in local website too.

Page Optimization

Social Media Marketing

Try to find similar group in social media community or create your own. So you can get user from their. Try to make it active. Some big communities are facebook, myspace, orkut, friendster etc

PPC – Pay Per Click

You can go for an AdWords campaign. There are lots of ppc program and best of them are yahoo, google and Microsoft. Take care in choosing keyword for your campaign. Also consider bidding competition and traffic for that keyword.

E-mail Marketing: Use your network

Find writers and designers who are willing to lend you a hand or higher them or you can also do it by your self. Ask them to write and design an (HTML email) email. Purchase a targeted list and send your email to them. Be sure that you have the resources to receive the responses - because this is a proven method. Try to locate the Venture Capitalists, especially tier 2 and tier 3 types and start sending mails to them about your site and explain them clearly the kind of help you can do. However, please note that you may send the correspondence like e-mails in a crisp fashion and never send so many to your target people as it may make such mails as spam.

Market Research

1. If you want to do marketing, you have to do research on it. For this, the best way to do this is to do Internet searches. If you type in the keywords "business marketing," you'll come up with a myriad of resources that can give you more information on this topic. Other terms you can use include "business research," "business-to-business marketing research," and "business marketing research." This is also known as "problem-identification research" If you want to find out more about this kind of research, you can also use those words ("problem-identification research") to simply find out more about the topic.
2. To test the effectiveness of advertisements, you do research in advertising. This also lets you know how efficient ads are when they are placed in any medium. It also tells you how much customer attention each it gets, the message it really delivers (as opposed to the one you intend to send, perhaps) and whether or not it motivates customers to buy the product and how strong this urge is. "Commercial eye tracking" helps advertisers understand the visual behavior the customer is exhibiting.
3. Web sites, ads, and the like are analyzed for these characteristics. Before an advertisement is placed into the market, advertisers can project its performance by using copy testing. This measures the customer's level of attention, motivation to buy, whether or not they like the brand, and whether or not they are entertained by the ad into consideration.
4. When someone buys something online, he usually weighs the pros and cons in order to make his decision. This is one area in which consumer decision research is done. You can also do surveys and interviews to determine how satisfied customers are; this is called a consumer satisfaction study. Segmentation research studies the demographic and psychological makeup of those living within a particular geographical region.
5. If you want to analyze brand recognition, brand preference and awareness, or brand performance, this is when you do ad tracking. Brand equity research helps you determine whether a customer has a favorite brand. And name testing actually measures what customers think about a particular brand name. Whether or not a brand is in demand is measured by using brand estimation.
6. Since you also have to measure the quality of a given product from time to time, mystery shoppers employed by research firms do this particular type of measurement. A mystery shopper will buy goods through a salesperson and take down his experience. If a mystery shopper, for example, buys competitors' products, then he or she can also measure how effective a rival company's products are, thus helping to determine what and how strong the competition in the marketplace is.
7. Before you take a concept into actual application, most marketing research companies do concept testing, to determine whether the target audience will like the idea. This type of test marketing is done when a product is introduced in limited numbers in a particular market. Then, results are observed via sales. If sales are strong, then the product is launched on a large-scale basis.
8. After this first phase, the company may think of increasing the price of the product to more profitable levels (as opposed to simply getting people to try a product that is very modestly priced); then, a price elasticity testing is done. This shows whether customers will accept price fluctuations, namely, price increases. Marketers also have to test what retailers and distributors feel about a particular product. This is when distribution channel audits are conducted.
9. Finally, a great tech savvy form of marketing research is called Internet strategic intelligence. Through this method, customers' likes and dislikes are measured by visiting chats, blogs, and forums to read what they actually say a particular type of product. Another way to do Internet strategic intelligence is to conduct online panels with a group of experts that accept marketing research done online.
10. All of this type of research carried out firsthand is classified as primary research. This is original research gathered at its source. Secondary research is research that has been taken from primary research but not done firsthand. This costs less than primary research, but it's not as effective because it has been distilled from primary research.
11. Research designs used by marketing research either comes from questioning subjects or from observational data. Quantitative and qualitative marketing research utilizes questioning to gather information. Quantitative marketing research uses questionnaires and surveys to draw conclusions from data. It usually utilizes a high number of subjects to gather the information. Qualitative marketing research uses in-depth interviews and projective techniques to gather in-depth information from a few subjects.
12. If marketing research is based on observational data, this is called experimental techniques and ethnographic study. Test markets and purchase laboratories utilize experimental techniques by measuring the factors responsible for a product's success. This is done by using one set of factors, observing results, changing a specific set of factors and then observing the result obtained by the change. With ethnographic studies, observations are done over time, longitudinally, or with several subjects cross-sectionally, at one particular time.

Marketing research can be compared to the exit polling done in politics. The market is studied exhaustively from different angles at different times, and under different circumstances.

Increase Marketing through Maps

So you have finally finished your website and you are ready to turn on the traffic and start taking orders. Usually you are cautious about buying traffic, so you search around for some free methods. You learn about traffic exchanges and banner advertising, as well as article marketing and directory submissions. As you work on these methods you start to notice something disturbing: your visitors come and go without buying anything.

Free methods can work with many different types of sites, but the common ones usually only work with sites of general appeal since it is difficult to target your prospects by demographics with the free methods mentioned above. Website owners who follow the demographics of their visitors are often surprised at who actually buys from their site.

A demographic map is one of the most important tools you will use in marketing your business both online and offline. What is a demographic map? It is essentially a breakdown of who your ideal prospects are. Any time I give marketing advice I always ask people to tell me who the perfect customer would be. Many entrepreneurs get excited about their products, but forget to think about who is going to buy, and that is the most important part of the marketing plan. The best direct response marketing companies in the world have demographic maps and use them all the time. The formula has been perfected many times because they know how to identify the target market.

Ask yourself if you know whether you would rather market to single or married people, to men or women, to older people or younger people, to which region of the world, and to which interests. A demographic map can help you find the perfect customers, as long as you know who they are. I can tell you one secret that you should never forget: you will convince more people to buy by being as specific as possible. What I mean by that is do not try to reach everybody because by doing that you will end up convincing nobody to buy. If you tailor your marketing messages for a very specific group, you will be able to match their profile on multiple points with just one advertising message.

Let us suppose you chose to target young single men in the western United States, and you choose California specifically since it has the largest population on the pacific coast.

Suddenly it becomes a lot easier to identify who your customers are and what their needs are. You can choose that you want to sell to a surfer who is interested in becoming attractive to the hot young beach bunnies. With a demographic map, you will be able to reach this kind of person and hit him full speed with your advertising, a very specific ad that talks about how your product makes life better for him. The buyers will come in droves and you will be smiling as you drive down to the bank just to look at the fat profits in your account.

Every now and then you might come across a seo company which would charge you for submitting your website to the search engine or making your site map etc. Well these are important but certainly not necessary what so ever. Below is a list of Ugliest SEO Myths that you should be aware of:

1. Submission to search engines by using their Add Url page: This is certainly never required. You can get indexed by only getting a link from a high PR website. If you manage to get a PR7 or PR8 link then you may get indexed within 24 hours straight!

2. Building a site map: Well the main purpose of a site map is to link all your web pages from a single or multiple pages, but if you have a good site architecture where all the inner pages are linked with each other then you don’t need to bother about it.

3. Content is the king so you need to update your site regularly: Well how many times we have to say that content isn’t the king at all. The only purpose of content is to get yourself notified and separated from the crew. So write unique and quality content for making reputation and not for search engines.

4. Using H1, H2 tags for higher search engine rankings: Well even if it adds up it is very small but that being said you must use them but be sure not every header be H1.

5. Keyword and Description tags are not useful: Well keyword and description tags have become less important lately but still every small thing adds up to a huge success. It is a good practice to use them on your web pages, and be sure to have them unique for every page.

Seo myth

1. The design and color combination is really good with architecture and navigation.
2. Having blog with the website is really good to increase inbuilt links and helps in updating website easily.
3. Putting gallery in side bar is also nice idea.
4. Having permanent link from footer to Design Diseases with no follow. (I hope its Gavin`s another website)
5. URL also well optimize (permalink)

1. Put some backlinks to your homepage with anchor text in your post.
2. If you want put bookmarklet.
3. Put one link to your home page with anchor text in footer also
4. In side bar you have tag widget but its didn't showing anything. Means you didn't tag your post. Give keywords to your post.
5. Use all in seo pack plugin to optimize every post.
6. If you going to add more Categories and sub categories then put related keyword.

I think this small review will be helpful to you.

I am glad to give review of this website.

I am also welcoming guest post to this ""Search Engine Marketing"blog

User-generated content has taken over the Internet and much of Google’s first page rankings.
To see just a quick example of their power, go to Google and search for “Google Assassin”, which is a product that was just recently released by Chris McNeeney And Ken X.
The front page results are dominated by sites like Blogspot.com, hubpages.com, and

Squidoo. “Web 2.0″ properties have enabled this kind of Google domination.
In future blog posts, I will be outlining exactly how to dominate the front pages of Google using social media sites. In the meantime, I’m going to give you a list of 100 Social Media Sites that Pass Page Rank so you can start playing around with them now.
These sites range from social bookmarking sites like Digg to blogging platforms like Blogowogo.com. They have been listed in order of descending Alexa rank.

Blog Marketing Tips

Here are 8 tips to help you grow YOUR blog as well…

#1 Put your blog URL in your email signature, so everyone you email with will be aware of it.

#2 Make sure aggregators and social bookmark sites such as Technorati, Digg, del.icio.us, and Stumble are aware of your site by opening accounts and marking your blog.

#3 Visit other blogs relevant to your target audience, and leave comments on the blog postings other people have created. DO NOT make these posts blatant invitations to your blog. Simply add useful, relevant information that adds to the quality of the original post, along with a link to your blog in your signature.

#4 Add the URL’s of other bloggers in your niche to your “Blogroll”. Then notify them that you have done so. Do not ask them to reciprocate with a link from their blog. If they like what you have to say, they will. If they don’t, they won’t. But at least adding them to your blogroll starts the conversation.

#5 Use a blog “pinging” service such as http://www.pingmyblog.com/ or http://pingomatic.com/ to let search engines know your blog exists.

#6 When invited to post or be interviewed on other blogs, graciously accept. Provide them with good quality content which will make people want to read more of what you have to say. Make sure they place a link to your blog in the post.

#7 Pick a niche (or not). Have you ever heard the quote “Get rich in your niche”. It means to focus on one area, and don’t get distracted by anything else, and you’ll be more successful. I’ve heard it related to writing, public relations, marketing, and blogging. Unfortunatley, in my case, I have multiple niches. So I blog about all of them. So far, it seems to have worked. My main areas of focus are business, DRTV, internet marketing, bringing new inventions to market, teleseminars, and customer service. Each of these niches are related, and each brings in niche specific traffic to my blog.

#8 Find a way to piggy-back on other media. On thing that has led to huge traffic on my blog was the TV show American Inventor. By blogging about the show from an Infomercial/DRTV perspective, rather than an entertainment angle, I received a lot of traffic from search engines and other blogs who recommended others read mine because of the unique twist. The millions of people who watched the TV show, then went to search about the inventors or inventions now find my perspective on business, marketing, and new products.

Squidoo is better place to create one profile page. Squidoo people always come with new and fresh ideas. I always look for new idea of one page which Squidoo display on dashboard user panel.

Its really great to be a part of squidoo community. There are lot other such website which gives you chance to create a page but the different creativity which squidoo give is best.

For example do you ever think searching for Who? or creating a profile page. Squidoo Who comes at that place. Where we can create page on us or friends or any famous person or a anyone. They make us to think in this way.

There is also best, worst, ever, good etc pages which squidoo providing. Which look like newspaper.

Squidoo ebay, Squidoo Video are other channels where squidoo give us chance to use our creativity through them.

I hope every one is agree with this. I wrote only brief....
