About three years ago, I first looked at my computer as a way to generate income. Because I do not have money to invest into my adventure, I tried to research Google about how to make money online and just simply taught myself. I spent a lot of time to learn the curve, though I wish I had invested a nit more to save time. Fortunately, it did not took me long to realize that I can make money online for free. Though, the word ‘free’ is exaggerated and is overused online, yet it is true that you can really make money on the web for free. I started a blog site on blogger and I set up adsense for it. With my blog site, I did not only earn money, it also directed me to potential clients who pays me write articles to their sites. The only biggest investments that I placed on to make money online were my time and my patience.

Our Organic SEO Process

Filed Under (Blog, Search Engine Optimization) by admin on 14-09-2009

Organic SEO consists of many elements, both on-page and off-page.

Site Analysis

We first need to determine if your site has bad SEO, or zero SEO. We evaluate the negatives and positives in order to determine if we can help your business achieve organic web traffic. We look at the age of the domain name, design factors, HTML source code, incoming links, link structure, meta tags and titles, directory listings, on-page content and competition.

Competitive Research

We take a look at your competitors online, to see what they are doing correctly and incorrectly. Our research gives us insight into how much competition your site will be up against, and some target rich key phrases we want to rank your site for.

Targeted Keyword Research

Just because you get a top placement on a particular keyword doesn’t mean that you will be flooded with web traffic. We do in-depth keyword research to find the highest traffic key phrases for your industry and area.

Meta Tags and Title Optimizations

Each web page has a title (located in the top browser) that is the title of the search result when your site appears on the search engines. Each page should reflect unique titles with terms and geo-targeted locations. Titles should be constructed to brand your business name as well. Meta tags are hidden keyword tags within the source code of each web page that need to be written and optimized for the terms you wish to target. Each page within your site should have different meta tags.

HTML Validation

Most websites are written in a computer language known as HTML. This is the language that is picked up by the search engines. Just like any other language, the HTML language has rules. Inproper HTML can be negative to your SEO. Our Orange County SEO specialists ensure each page on your website is validated with an HTML validator.

Keyword Density and Placement

Titles, meta tags, links and written on-page content of each page require proportion and positioning to ensure the search engines understand and value your site according to the keywords for your campaign. Placing keywords in certain spots on a page, in the titles and meta tags have an affect on how your site will rank. In addition, the density of keywords compared to the density of non-keywords plays a part.

Link Density and Placement

Just as with keyword density and placement, link density and placement plays a role in SEO. We ensure your outgoing and incoming links to each page are correctly constructed and placed to help the search engines understand how to rank your site.

Photo/Video Optimization

Images and videos cannot be read by the search engines unless they are optimized. Without optimizing your photos they will not appear in the image search listings on the major search engines. Optimizing photos consists of giving each photo a an ‘alt’ tag with keywords. The ‘alt’ tage is picked up by the search engines and allows the search engines to rank your photos in image search.

Internal/External Linkings

Internal linking consists of designing linking strategies within your own site. Links need to convey keywords that show the search engines what the page is about it is linking to. These links can be created within your own site, from page to page, and also outside of your website, linking into your pages. External linking is when links link out to another website. This gives ‘power’ to the other site, and diminishes power from your own site. We can put ‘nofollow’ tags on external links to retain the power of the links.

Directory Submissions

Online directories are not search engines. Directories are sites with business listings, much like your local classified ads. There are many free and paid directories, some are good for your site, and many are actually harmful because they are low value directories. For each client, we place a free directory listing in DMOZ.com – Google’s directory. DMOZ is a human edited directory that may take up to 12 months or more to be listed. The significance is in the long term results. Once DMOZ lists your website, it gives your website authority, which means you achieve better rankings and more traffic. Google also pings your listings to dozens of other directories for free, expanding your web presence.

Local Business Search Inclusion

Google, MSN and Yahoo! each have a local business search program. We will list your website and business information with these programs. The benefits of having local search is that your website will appear in Google Map listings and certain search strings. Have you ever searched for a local pizza place online and a map popped up with listings beside of it? Well, those are local search results. You want to be seen.

Geo-Targeted Landing Pages

If you have a business that has customers outside of one particular city, we want to make sure people can find you. Depending on the scope of your SEO campaign, Clark SEO will construct ‘portal’ pages that help capture market share from County terms, city terms, community terms, and zip code searches. For example, lets say you own a catering business in Irvine. You may want to rank for Orange County and Irvine based keywords, but you know that you get business from Costa Mesa and Newport Beach as well. We will make sure you are being found when consumers search for catering in those surrounding areas, as well as the zip codes you do business in and community names.

Search Engine Submissions

Once the initial SEO work is completed, we will submit your optimized website to Google, MSN, Yahoo! and over 100 minor search engines for inclusion. Search engines take time to update the changes. Within 2-6 weeks the search engines will index your website and your listings will appear on keyword searches.

Ranking Reports/Monitoring

Our customized SEO technology and tools allows us to run reports on your keyword positioning on Google, Yahoo! and MSN. Each month we will send you a ranking report that displays where your site is ranking. This helps us monitor activity, and make adjustments to keep your rankings high and watch for negative changes. Keyword rankings fluctuate from other online competitors and search engine updates. If a set of keyword rankings drops, we will be able to catch it quickly, and adjust the SEO in order to get those rankings back.

Google Analytics/Site Statistics

Each client will be implemented into Google analytics to monitor site performance. With analytics, we can understand how people are finding your site, how long they are staying on your site, and what regions the visitors are coming from. This helps us understand your consumers better, and allows you to coordinate changes with us.

Bluetooth technology is by far at the front of the technological train. Bluetooth has changed the way we talk to people on phones from where we work. Some new products from Bluetooth have proved unique in that there are few like them.

Cell phones with bluetooth technology are completely wireless and compatible with your computer, PDA, Mp3 player, and now navigational system in your car.

The New Information Technology Marketplace

This article is also available as a Podcast on “The RootCause” podcast series available on iTunes.

As our country begins what I can only hope is a new era, I find myself wondering about the future of our industry. Information Technology took a very hard hit in the Dot Bomb Crash of 2000. I was under contract to Lucent Technologies at the time and the impact there was enormous. Jobs were lost by the thousands, and so were retirements. Now, in 2008 and 2009, we see another financial bomb–but we also see a new vision.

In 2000, the world discovered that just being on the Internet did not guarantee success. Prior to that, business was doing well at moving money around, if not actually producing much. The cash had to keep moving or it would settle to the ground and people would notice that there wasn’t that much new money–just the same funds moving in circles–redistributing. Maybe that is what finally happened. Maybe the music stopped and everyone realized that there weren’t enough chairs for everyone–and panicked.

The financial bomb this time is a bit different and as I am not a financial consultant, I will not try to explain it–even if I fully understood it-which I do not. My concern here is the impact of this market on my industry, the Information Technology Industry. This time it seems, we are not dead center on the bull’s eye–instead we are the arrow point. We went through our decimation and many of us retired, retrained in other fields or just gave up. Others stayed on and have continued to grow with the technology. It’s leaner and meaner and there are far fewer of us to do what needs doing. But, it is also the foundation of the new economy to come.

New energy systems and a rewrite of the way that the Health Care Industry does business will be heavily steeped in Information Technology. Our skills are going to be in more and more in demand as companies around the world, and here in the United States, scramble for ways to create a sustainable future for our planet and our respective countries. We will be right in the middle of it. Are you ready for that? Are you really?

One side effect of the trimming down of our industry has been reluctance to invest in upgrades, to improve efficiency of systems and, most importantly, to create. Older equipment and technology are often still in place–in mission critical positions. Products at the end of their support cycles, that are still working, are still in place. After all, why fix what isn’t broken? Money is tight.

Here is why you should fix it while it is still working.

(1) Because it IS still working. Once a component fails, you will end up scrambling to replace it–making bad decisions and building sloppy installations.

(2) Because new software tools, operating system manufacturers, (think patches), and other manufacturers of equipment, do not perform regression testing back to the beginning of time. If your operation system or other software tools are past that magical line in the sand, new-supposedly helpful-patches and upgrades could break your systems in unforeseeable and unsupportable ways.

(3) Because it is not about keeping your position in a company or in a market. It is about creating new technologies, processes and markets. The old ways don’t cut it anymore and whoever creates a solution to a problem, regardless of country or marketplace, will drive the economies of the world–and of their niche in the global marketplace. If your company creates products or provides services, you need to be on the crest of the wave.

President Obama has asked us to be willing to make hard decisions and to work to create the new technologies that will drive the world’s economy. I for one, embrace the call. Let’s stop trying to make our money by moving money from one pocket to another and begin once again to create. You, the people of the Information Technology Industry, are going to be right at the heart of it. Technologists, look for companies that want to be there too. Information Technology Managers
, look for people with passion. Let the wonder that first led you to master an aspect of the magic of technology once again inspire you. This is our moment. This is our challenge. It’s time once again to have some fun with this stuff!
