Increase Your Rankings With Custom Content Solutions

There is a mantra in e-commerce that content is king. Content isn’t just a way to inform visitors coming by the site, it’s a way to draw in those ever-present mechanical insects, search engine spiders. The key to knowing if you’re making nice with search engine spiders is if you have a good page rank: Google page rank is the holy grail of search engine ranking.

Page rank and content go hand in hand. There is a misconception that the number of links coming in to a site is the main thing that determines page rank. While links are obviously important, content is vital as well. In fact, they are intrinsically connected. If you have quality content on your site, more sites will link to you as a respected authority on a given topic. If those sites have a good page rank, it can only help elevate the page ranking of your site.

First though, you need to create articles that are worth reading. A poorly written article with legions of typos and inaccurate information isn’t going to fool web surfers or search engine spiders. Poorly written content full of keyword-jamming and other outdated SEO techniques are going to be virtually ignored. In the age of Web 2.0, web content needs to have a purpose. Only web content that is useful and informative will help a website move forward in the rankings.

This is easier said than done, however. Many small, medium, or large business owners are not professional writers. Furthermore they just don’t have the time to write quality, custom content. Merely cutting and pasting someone else’s content is not the best solution. New and updated content is important to keep a site relevant and fresh, it might amount to hundreds of new articles. Site owners just don’t have the time, patience, or even the skill.

The hardest part about getting a good page rank may be writing the content itself. As a result, outsourcing custom content is common. It is as integral to setting up a website as web design. There are a number of content writing solutions available. Make sure to find a content writing company with a qualified and talented stable of writers who have the ability to write on a variety of subjects.

Quality content will keep people on the site. It has been shown that the longer a web surfer stays on the site, the more likely it is that he or she will make a purchase or become a repeat visitor. Customers and clients trust a company with a site that is well written and informative. As the vast majority of web surfers use search engines to find products or services, it is necessary to have both quality content and a good page rank.

The widespread use of web to search for the content, products, services and information has immensely increased traffic load on the net. Besides this, the ever increasing numbers of websites on the net, point out to the fact that more people are trying to capitalize on the lucrative online business opportunities available on the net. To stand apart from the crowd and get easily noticed, it has become necessary to employ techniques that help in optimizing the web content of site and enjoy a higher page ranking in the search engine results.

Writing a High Quality Content

Writing a rich and original content is a primary requirement to qualify the site to earn higher page ranking with engine spider. A good content attracts both, readers and engine spider. The prime objective of the content should be to convey effectively the message of the website in such a manner that audience is able to relate well with it. Maintaining high degree of relevance between the keywords, content, title and what is advertised about the site is crucial in attracting the internet traffic to the site. If the content is successful in attracting readers to the site and able  to keep them engrossed in it for longer period of time, the engine index the site and allot it higher page ranking .

Using the Keywords in the Right Places

SEO writing is an art because it requires lot of writing skills to prepare content that should appear to naturally flowing and have main keyword and the related words or phrases in such a manner that the readers have a good reading experience. Distributing the keyword and related terms in the title, content body, subheadings, in bound links help the crawler to locate and crawl in and out of the site easily, without any resistance. The smoother the navigation, higher the page ranking, the site gets. Maintaining the right keyword count is crucial in properly optimizing the web content because overuse or misuse of keywords degrades the SEO value of the content, in eyes of engine spider.

Search Engine Optimization: SEO Content and Page Rank

SEO Content and Page Ranking

Everyone on the internet trying to explain what makes a good site will say to you, ‘Content is King’ and ‘You need good content’. However, not every website owner understands how content affects their rankings in the natural organic search results of search engines. In fact, if you look around the web you will notice tons of sites with no real content, duplicated content, or that bore you to tears. What most people don’t realize, though, is that good content does more than just keep your visitors interested and give you a good site. It will also help you promote your website.

Many search engines ignore the traditional method of reading META tags for keywords and descriptions, as these are often abused by users. Instead, search engines like Google now read the whole web page and use it to generate matches. It stands to reason therefore, that your website needs quality, keyword rich content, not only to keep the interest of visitors but to increase your search rankings as well.

Further, good content will often attract other websites to link to your content and this will bring in even more visitors to your site. Links to your pages will also boost your page ranking on Google. That’s importance because page ranking is one of the criteria by which Google decides where in the natural organic listings your site will appear.

Choose Your Keywords

Choosing keywords is more than picking search terms that receive heavy search traffic. An effective keyword will have relevancy, high search rates and most importantly the people searching will be interested in your product or service. There are a number of free keyword tools that can help you research keywords and phrases more effectively. One such tool is available at http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/ and will query both Wordtracker and Overture.

Both Wordtracker and Overture gather data from the search engines and can tell you how often a particular keyword is searched. An excellent starting point is obviously finding a highly searched phrase. Though, remember numbers alone don’t equate to quality. Your keywords must be targeted towards two audiences. The first is the market you are reaching for while the second is the search engines themselves. That being the case you want to carefully choose keywords that will allow you to rank highly in the search results for phrases that are being used by buyers to find the products and services you offer.

Write Keyword Rich Content

The cheapest way to generate content is to write it yourself. Writing quality content takes a lot of time, and you will need thorough knowledge of your subject to be able to write effectively on it. If you have the skills and time to generate content, though, this is really the best route to take. Alternately, you could save time by having someone else write your content but you would lose a certain amount of control plus may incur high cost. Whichever method you eventually choose the one thing you want to do when writing content is focus on your keywords and phrases.

Search Engine friendly content will directly target a keyword or phrase. You start by using keywords and phrases in the title. In the contents body you will also want to repeat the keywords and phrases you are focusing on. The last thing you should do and something many websites fail at is narrowly targeting your pages content. By that I mean choose one or a few keywords and phrases on a page and build the content around them. By doing this you will see more of your pages index and they will index at a higher rank.

Conclusion

Originality and keyword density in your website’s content will ensure that your website indexes well on the search engines. Good content should also help your website increase its amount of back links and conduct other important parts of a successful Search Engine Marketing Campaign. However

good your design or however fast your site, people and increasingly search engines come for content, and that is what you should be giving them.

Content is Just as Important on Social Media Profiles as it is on Blogs

With social media being the new phenomenon online today it would be ludicrous for any internet marketer to ignore it when it comes to formulating a strategy for an internet marketing campaign. As with most marketing promotions your success or failure is usually determined by your approach. The most important part of a successful socialization plan when it comes to MySpace and Facebook, for example, is the content on your profile page.


Content drives traffic which drives sales when it comes to your Blog as well as your social media profile page. The richer and more varied the content the more people it will attract and the faster word will spread about your page and what it has to offer. Try to make it entertaining in terms of what’s available for visitors to interact with and adding a touch of humor helps because everyone likes to laugh.


For interactivity you could have your favorite music highlighted for them to click on and sample. You could add a music video or two as well as some comedy clips or maybe implement a joke of the day feature. One important factor not to ignore is your own personal story. The objective of these sites, after all, is to meet and get to know people, and most everyone likes reading or hearing about someone else’s life experience.


This doesn’t mean you have to reveal all of the sordid details but try to convey your likes and dislikes in your own style. Don’t try to be someone you’re not. People want to get to know the real you. Also try to make your profile informative. Everyone has an expertise in some area, so share this knowledge with your guests and before you know it you’ll have more online friends than you know what to do with.


If you keep giving people what they want they’ll keep coming back for more and the best way to do this is to write about what you know and what you are comfortable with. Pictures are also a great way to attract visitors. You can demonstrate some of your interests through photographs of some of your favorite activities. Pictures also add a more personal element to the page giving the viewer a better chance to get to know you and appreciate what you do.


If you’re an avid reader, for example, you could possibly start a book of the month feature where you discuss or critique a particular book you may be reading. You could ask visitors, who are also readers, to leave comments and maybe start a book of the month club. With any relationship, be it online or in your day-to-day life, the important thing is to maintain contact. On any of these social media websites this means visiting on a regular basis to let people know what’s happening in your life. It also means updating your profile page on a regular basis.


Any Internet Marketer who can follow these simple steps should enjoy great success in the new Web 2.0 or Social Media Market not only professionally but also personally, and always remember the old adage “Content is King.”

Search Engine Marketing – Google Content Network Vs Google Search Network

If you have heard of search engine marketing, I bet that you are very familiar with the search network. Today, Search is crowded with lots of advertisers and the days of getting a click for a few cents is gone. However, do you know that for some industries, it is better to advertise on the Google Content Network (CT) than the Search network? Let me give you a few examples.

Let’s say that you have a client who is in the yoga business. Which strategy do you think suits them better? CT or Search? To answer this question, we first need to understand the demographic of the client’s target audience.

Their target customers aren’t searching because they already know where to shop or hang out. If you bid on the word Yoga on Search, you will only get yoga beginners. You will not get hard-core Yoga practitioners because they would never search the term “Yoga.” This is also true of, for example, people who do Home School, or Martial Arts, music and art lovers, or devout followers of any religious or political cause.

In this case, the Google Content Network is better than search. A yoga business will want to reach hardcore yoga practitioners who hang out in yoga forums, websites for professionals and health related websites. So your conversion rate will be higher if you place your ads on these networks.

Another example is church. Let’s say that a church approaches you to launch a search engine marketing campaign on Google, with the objective of bringing more devout Christians to their church. In this case, advertising on the Google Content Network will perform far better than advertising on the search network.

A devout Christian would hardly ever type “Christianity” into Google. On Google, the word Christianity will only get you high school kids writing research papers. To reach that devout person, you would have to target hundreds or thousands of long-tail phrases, i.e. “purpose driven life by rick warren” or “pope Benedict” to reach her on search.

However, the biggest problem with Search is, if your product or service does not have anything to do with Rick Warren or the Pope, you will get lousy Quality Scores and Google will slap you. On Content, however, you find the places where she hangs out – and Google will help you put something she’s interested in, in front of her. Conversion rates can be high and the cost per acquisition low.

The Content Network is not for everyone. However, Search is tougher on some industries than others. So you may want to find out if Content Network is a match for you.

Blog Marketing: The #1 Source Of New Content For Business Blogs

Blog marketing or Blog advertising describes internet marketing using web blogs. Blogs have become the next generation marketing tool. Marketing blogs are basically websites that allow you to instantly publish content and act as a news source for prospects.

Blogging has grown exponentially in the last few years. New Media Lab in Austin, Texas reports that 356,000,000 people worldwide read blogs and 77% of active web users read blogs. Can you see the potential?

Blogging is the act of publishing content on your marketing blog, but publishing content with a blog and publishing with your regular website are as different as night and day because blogs are dynamic and allow two-way communication between you and your prospects. That’s why blog marketing and blog advertising should be completed on a regular basis and with a specific marketing strategy.

While no one knows what’s included in a search engine’s algorithms, everyone can agree that a site needs to have quality content in order to rank high; and one of the easiest ways to add that quality content on a consistent basis is by starting a marketing blog.

With the recent advancements and the growing popularity of social media sites, as well as the importance of back links to your website for search engine optimization (SEO) purposes, adding your social media profile links to your blog will also increase its popularity. Two of the most popular social media sites for businesses are Facebook and Twitter (visit our page on social media marketing here).

You may be asking yourself, “How can I constantly come up with new content for my blog…It’s going to take a lot of work.” Don’t worry, here’s a quick list to get you going:

– Create a top 10 list about your industry: Thanks to David Letterman, people love top 10 lists. They capture the readers attention and hold their interest..

– Ask a question and solve the problem: You know your prospects biggest problems, so ask it in a question form and answer it with good content.

– Take a poll: Polls are always a good source for unique and interesting content

– Post about growing trends in your industry: Prospects interested in your industry will most certainly be interested in new and emerging trends, so this is a great source of new content.

Blog marketing can be very difficult to set up, but very exciting at the same time. You should be committed to adding new and fresh content at least weekly, but the more you can blog, the better. It’s just like being on a diet, if you’re consistent, it’s less difficult. But if you take a break and stop blogging for a week or so, you’ll lose your momentum and often your followers.
