What does ensure the success of your SEO plan?

Posted by Neil Patel On October - 28 - 2009

Keep in mind the fact that pay-per-click is not necessarily a substitute for search engine optimization (SEO). Both should be employed in conjunction with each other to evaluate keywords.

To make sure that your chosen keywords target the right audience, it’s necessary to test their effectiveness. MSN adCenter, Google’s AdSense, or some other pay-per-click ad program can test keywords. This is to see if they fetch the desired traffic to your website.

To make Pay-per-click cost-efficient, you must be able to bid on right keywords and at right price (on per click basis). If, utilized correctly, the strategy sure will play a major role in bringing potential customers to your business site. Consider changing and churning keywords if results produced are not up to the mark.

Another critical aspect is to submit your E-commerce site to the leading search engines to ensure it duly gets indexed. The Web spiders will locate your website easily if it has quality inbound links. They regularly ‘crawl’ the Internet to update a search engine’s database.

It’s vital to periodically monitor the progress of your SEO plan. Of course, you need to be patient. SEO success does not happen overnight. It takes some amount of time for the results to be visible in form of improved page rankings. Trying to rush through your SEO campaign can backfire.

Conduct searches for your keywords with the major engines to check how your site ranks. Frequent checking will provide you with a reasonable assessment. If you notice a persistent downward trend, take corrective measures.

Well-optimized pages might bring traffic, but it’s only a good product that will convert visitors to actual customers.

Do you want your business card to go completely virtual?

Posted by Neil Patel On October - 26 - 2009

There are some excellent ways for you to share your updated social media profiles.

Retaggr creates a full-fledged social media business card (of course, virtual in nature) that you can easily share and embed. It includes links to your social profiles. The virtual card can even pull in dynamic content (such as blog posts and tweets).

Chi.mp will allow you to give very own (yourname.mp) domain name. It ably aggregates content from various socials sites you use. The feature that makes it ideal for business usage is its advanced privacy settings. The setting will let you create special profiles for the different sets of users so that your key business contacts never need to view pictures of your family or friends from your Flickr stream.

Google Profiles are pretty much basic. They serve as a simple albeit effective avenue for listing of standard biographical information as well as profile links.

Broadly speaking, each of your social media profiles tends to define your online identity, so you may well like to make them as part of your virtual business card. But sharing a whole bunch of different social media profile URLs isn’t easy. An assured way to deal with the problem is using a profile
aggregator.

If you dispatch your business cards to CloudContacts, they will be scanned and organized for you. In fact, you can see all the cards you have collected online from businesspeople, and download that data to desktop email clients such as Outlook, Thunderbird, Entourage, and Exchange. Once scanning is done, CloudContacts will either recycle your paper cards or return them.

There’s another app that lets you dispatch business cards over Twitter. twtBizCard ensures sending business cards via Twitter is easy. The most comforting thing about dispatching a virtual business card is that you can make use of the remaining tweet space to add a message about where and when you met.
