Search Engine Optimization/SEO for Online Women Entrepreneurs Part 9: Search Engine Current Tips, Tools & Techniques

[Update: Still working, and will continue to work on all these 'current/new techniques' as time allows]

Given Yaro’s success,

I was curious to see who’s on his blogroll for SEO Tips: Search Engine Weblog
This post is a hodge-podge of issues further justifying my past points, but I’ll just share the main “new” points below:

1. ) How Loyal are your Blog Readers?

The study also found that 67.3% of the respondents follow links to learn about new blogs while 22.9% of the readers rely upon recommendations on blogs. This number is greater than those who simply find a blog via a search engine (19.9%).

Ponn’s Personals: So, what’s all my fuss with this SEO Tips Marathon!? Wait…at the end of this post you’ll find out!

In order for a weblog to be a hit in the blogosphere, the study noted that it should be well-written and focused on specific topic.

[Phew--I'm saved here. ! I write unique, detailed, informative, helpful posts...don't I?]

2.) Things a SEO Consultant should do.

There’s a comprehensive list, but it all winds down to Numero-Uno:

1) Understanding Client’s Business Objectives & Strategic Marketing Plan. But I think the most important is task#1. It is always necessary to understand what the client’s business objectives are. Is it for branding, for lead development, for selling products..etc.

[What I appreciate in working with Jen, is that she understands my short and long-term goals. Whether related, or not, when it comes to business opportunities, I share everything with her...so she keeps in the back of her mind how the little pieces fit the whole. We have our brand, we're growing our network, we're developing product, and much more. What's perfect is, she has first-hand experience in all these areas in her own business too. Check her out here.]

3.) New School SEO Opportunities:

[We're just starting out sistahs! So don't be bummed out with all these "new school SEO opportunities". I wasn't "really" into all the ideas prior to this post. But, now seeing its SEO implications, I'll have to rethink unveiling some of these tactics within this upcoming year...what do you think?!

a. Social Media Marketing (SMM). The technique is to delve deeper to what social communities are searching for and applying it to the website for better SEO results and web traffic.

[I colleague/friend is gently nudging me to join myspace.com or at least linkedin.com]

b. Video promotion. Insert your url as a watermark in some online video websites like YouTube. The simple effort could mean more.

[There's so much room for your imagination! The ideas are endless. I particularly like the use of a PowerPoint presentation to make a slideshow of your main points.]

c. Onebox optimization. There is a good opportunity for websites to make it to the top of the SERPS and other online search niche areas using onebox optimization.

[Never heard of this...so, like my other examples, I checked Wikipedia.org found nothing...then, Yes, I did a "search" and found: The OneBoxer.com
Here's a beginners video (~5 mins...I didn't really time it).

Sweet! This is good for Product Sales only. So, I looked at keyword searches for my book...and, I noticed each book is a member of Google Books...I am too, but I haven't sent them a copy of my book yet to scan and post. On my "to do" list now!]

d. Society participation. Find a forte and become increasingly developing in that field. Bear in mind that credibility is not a commodity hence; the more you should value it.

[Due to health limitations, I'm forced to follow my own advice...so valuing my brand "empowerment" is dear to my heart...family and life in general. I will not jepordize this, nor do I recommend any of you should. Practice what you preach and admit when you are wrong. Honesty and humility goes a long way to keeping you "human" during your entrepreneurial ventures.]

e. Execute your own ideas. Concepts, ideas and innovations may just be floating on your mind. Never disregard them.

[Yes. I think I got this one down-pat to at least keep us on our toes for the next six-months! I'm so excited!]

4.) 5 Guaranteed Ways to Develop Quality SEO

a. Concentrate on your readers. One problem with keyword SEO services is the repetition of words that they lose the readability factor. When you write, consider both the readers and SEO. You can cater to both so why compromise?
b. Avoid using misspelled keywords. Though, there is the fat finger principle, preclude from using misspelled and intolerable words.
c. Proofread your articles. Be sure that elite keywords SEO are appropriately used so as not to confuse readers.
d. To make it easy for your online readers use headings and bullets in your keyword articles.
e. Make your articles relevant to your SEO keywords.

[The whole editing bit...this blog is my writing outlet. I don't edit like I would for a best-seller, and I appreciate spell check...but...hmm, I'll try better, I promise.]

6.) Search Engine Visibility Stripped

The fact is obvious: if your website does not show up on the first 3 pages of a search query, you won’t be yielding any traffic for that particular search. If your website is like that, it means you have low search engine visibility.

Another fact is that 80% of the web traffic goes to those on the first half of the natural search engine results on the first page. A recent study on Google found that searchers spend more time looking at natural search results compared to paid ones. Only 38% of the clicks generated were on sponsored or paid results.

Moreover, engine ranking search visibility is crucial to lure more web visitors. To improve visibility, excellent web site search engine optimization is necessary. Search engine rankings are important in the sense it give website owners to take advantage of the search engine rankings.

So, to end this post and keep my Marathon alive…W.E. (women entrepreneurs) must work on our SEO–together!
