Written by Tom Henricks


This article is actuallyrepparttar summary to a book soon to be released byrepparttar 132665 author, titled “Guaranteed Website Success”. Opinions are quite often controversial. Such isrepparttar 132666 nature of this one.

There a many opinions and conclusions being expressed by so called “experts” at this time. We can’t turn a blind eye to all this information but nothing will replace our own logic and powers of observation. I would like to take a minute to summarize and express my own observations. Some will obviously disagree with these statements and views. Such isrepparttar 132667 nature of free speech and our ability to draw our own conclusions. I suggest that those that disagree arerepparttar 132668 ones that are reluctant to use their own logic and change withrepparttar 132669 needs ofrepparttar 132670 present time.

Google is presently in a state of change. Their objective is honest – to produce valid results for your searches. However inrepparttar 132671 quest to do that they may stumble a bit inrepparttar 132672 process. That is a big challenge. They are presently consideredrepparttar 132673 number one search engine and want to stay there. Their processes would seem a bit unstable atrepparttar 132674 moment but they must and they will stabilize to maintain their own position. There will be changes and modifications aimed at improvingrepparttar 132675 whole exercise. Be observant and move withrepparttar 132676 needs ofrepparttar 132677 present.

If you visitrepparttar 132678 forums you are going to see a lot of chatter and a lot of views about what is going on. Thoroughly discussed issues revolve around keyword placement and a term some ofrepparttar 132679 so called experts are abusing “search engine optimization”. Some of these so called experts are in my opinion misusing that term “search engine optimization” They are claiming that they would never participate in that dastardly practice. Well, just look atrepparttar 132680 term. What does it mean. To me it simply means putting together your website so that people will find it when they search using their favourite search engine. If these guys aren’t doing that, they aren’t going anywhere. Of course they are participating inrepparttar 132681 practice. They just prefer to call it something else. I can’t figure out why though. The term doesn’t indicate anything under handed when used in itself. We all practice search engine optimization, it’srepparttar 132682 difference in success and failure.

Much is being said about “keyword over use, stuffing” blah blah blah etc. Many are claiming keywords shouldn’t even be used here and they shouldn’t be used there. Wake up you “experts” that are making these crazy claims that google doesn’t want you doing this. Yes, you can produce a few results that will support that stand. I can produce my own results very quickly. Pick a dozen search terms out ofrepparttar 132683 air. Do a search on each in google. Go viewrepparttar 132684 source code. I will guarantee you are going to see plenty of first page results that exhibitrepparttar 132685 so called practice of “keyword stuffing” So what are you guys going to do? Are you going to shunrepparttar 132686 practice because “some expert” has told you google doesn’t like, it even though google is obviously rewardingrepparttar 132687 practice. Better not paint yourself into a corner. Use your logic. Observe and move withrepparttar 132688 market. Nothing is more valuable than your own powers of observation and ability to change to reflect those observations.

Follow Up –Is reciprocal Linking Dead

Follow Up –Is reciprocal Linking Dead Well it’s time for a follow up! A few months back I wrote an article titled “Is reciprocal Linking Dead?” Still available at several locations including http://www.ideamarketers.com/library/article.cfm?articleid=23275

At that time I was determined that I could produce a competitive website with solid content and search engine friendly construction. I had decided that this issue of crazy and excessive reciprocal linking had gone out of control. It’s was my belief then and remains my belief now that this cannot remain a valid method forrepparttar search engines to judge a website’s value. I also stated that I would not become a willing participant in this madness. Well some time has passed and I’m afraid I must back-pedal a little bit. I still believe thatrepparttar 132662 value of linking will be looked at carefully by big brother Google. You don’t need to look very far onrepparttar 132663 net to see thatrepparttar 132664 issue is far from stable. Many website owners are complaining that Google is not acknowledging their quality links. I can personally confirm that fact. Many websites, upon checking are showing links inrepparttar 132665 thousands and even hundreds of thousands. Unfortunately though, google obviously doesn’t have a procedure to recognize all linking structures. This is understandable. Website owners are using a wide variety of paths and methods to link to their partners. Many of these links will not get picked up byrepparttar 132666 search engine. These links get buried in exotic site mapping structures and huge databases under various categories. It is my own observation that a true quality link should be directly linked to your partner’s homepage and should contain at least one of your keywords. This is assuming you wish to benefit from that website’s page rank. I think this isrepparttar 132667 primary objective of most linking today. The thought that we may improve our traffic has become secondary. If those requirements are met and your partner has a good page rank, I believe that you will benefit in google’s ranking system. Anything that strays from those two points might diminishrepparttar 132668 benefits ofrepparttar 132669 link for page ranking purposes. I must say that my ego was far bigger than my power and I have found it essential to go link hunting. You just won’t get any page rank without some GOOD QUALITY, RELEVANT links. I tried unsuccessfully. Other factors contribute to page rank also but in our competitive market, we just can’t afford to give ground on any one factor. Sorepparttar 132670 bottom line is -I am link searching. Where can you get links. A variety of places that I will briefly express my own opinion regarding their value.
