How to Rank Higher in Google Local Business Listings

Google offers a free business listing to small businesses at the top of most local search results pages. Local Google Advertising is what we’re after when we talk about Google’s local business listing center. Anatomy of a Google search result page:

• Listings on the right side bar are paid advertisements, often called “sponsored links”
• The main body of a search result page are called the “organic” or “natural” search listings
• At the very top in a colored text box are also paid advertisements, sponsored links
• Above the organic listings are “Google Local Business Listings”

This wiki deals with only with the Local Business Listings

You will notice a map associated with each listing, this is because Google used the existing infrastructure of Google Maps to implement the free business listings. It’s generally thought that Google offered this free service, and gave its location on a search result page prominence above the organic listings because of the popularity of Google’s AdWords program.

AdWords is a PPC (pay per click) advertising system where keywords and keyword phrases are bid on in an auction like system. The immense popularity of AdWords priced smaller Mom n Pop stores out of the market due to the ever escalating costs of certain keywords. Google became fearful that it’s search platform would be return search results of the “rich and famous” thus reflecting only what the rich and powerful wanted seen on Google search results.

How does Google determine which website should rank higher than another?

Google uses a computer program algorithm based on hundreds of factors as the vast size of the internet precludes any human capability of keeping the listings accurate or current. That algorithm is a closely guarded trade secret within Google. Search Engine Optimization Consultants learn what Google apparently likes and doesn’t like from the observable behavior of search results.

Local Business Listings IS Googlemaps

Google Maps algorithm is different from the algorithm that anoints one site over another. It’s also slower to update. If your customers leave glowing reviews of your product or service on the link provided your site will climb in rank. You are permitted up to 10 photos of your product or service, use as many of those slots as possible. Fill out as much information about your business as space allotted provides, being verbose is better than being succinct when it comes to Google Local Business Listings

Many small businesses get leads and interested inquiries from a local business listing even if they don’t have a website URL. Still other small businesses find it unnecessary to have their company listed anywhere other than the top local business listings. If your listing falls in ranking or is bumped out of it’s spot by a newcomer and you find your company losing sales because of it, you may want to outsource your rankings management to a local search engine optimization firm.

The fees involved for a local business listing may be less than the fees for improving your company website’s organic listing.

What Determines Rank?

Ever wonder why your companies listing in Google does OK in the main body of Google’s search results page but is not in the top 10 of those pesky Google Local Business Listings?

Ultimately what you want is to be found in BOTH sets of listings, the net effect of which would be to drive home in your prospective customers Mind’s Eye that Google apparently thinks pretty highly of your company if Google is displaying YOUR company listing in the Local Business Listings and in the Organic Search Rankings.

Well, people’s perception and Google’s reality are far, far apart.

Google didn’t *pick* you to be #1 and your competitor to be #11

A computer program picked you over the hapless fella you compete with. A person did not visit your site, take notes, compare notes, make a decision, hear the belly aching and whining of the poor fool who got bumped off of his front page listed by a website that ranked better than his…

nope, an algorithm picked you over them.

Think about it… there are what? a Gazillion webpages already indexed in Google? And how many tens of thousands of new webpages being created as we speak? Some of those tens of thousands are being “generated” by a “bot”.

There is no way on God’s Green Earth a staff of humans could possibly keep up with that kind of volume. An algorithm did it. The robot that scours the Internet (in the SEO industry we call that “spidering”) is titled GoogleBot GoogleBot Can’t Really *Read*

GoogleBot can NOT read… but it CAN count

Googlebot counts the words on your webpage, it counts the keywords and keyword phrases you use in your copy. Is y0ur company website a little light on copy? Too bad for you.

It matters little to Googlebot if the fancy flash graphic and dramatic digital photos depicting your most important product are… well the damn thing can’t decipher a photo! but it CAN read text.

What ever makes your photos good, better or best and likewise your competitors photos crappy is subjective. Art is subjective, math is not.

Either the keywords are on your webpage (Prominently placed at the top of the page I hope) or the keyw0rds are not.

He who has the most keywords (elegantly, tactfully and deftly constructed with proper enough grammar for the spell checking programmed Googlebot to index). Wins that coveted top spot!

But… the Google Local Business Listings are a different story. The algorithm that runs it is different.

What Google is looking for and rewards when it sees it for the organic search results page (the body of the page) is one thing. What Googlebot is looking to see in the Free Local Google Advertising Listings is quite another.

I’m not about to reveal the entire loophole in a “Google Secrets Revealed” post, not even for a hefty 00 fee for an ebook (I’d do it for that price if it were ticket sales to a seminar and I got a couple dozen of you to buy 00 tickets to eagerly learn how I do what it is I do) (that’s in the works by the way)

No, I’m not telling, not the whole thing but I will give you a hint, and I’m giving said hint in the form of my own Maryland search engine optimization results. This is not theory, This is not alleged, What follows is battle tested.

I’m competing against the best of the best, the top guys and gals in Maryland: other SEO professionals. Link building technicians like me:)

If your customers leave glowing reviews… and they leave them USING a gmail account, and that Gmail account is associated with a Google Profile, and the person leaving the review has a picture or avatar uploaded to that Google Profile… Your Google local business listing will climb in ranking.

There are things you can do to improve your ranking

Many of you know you have to do something, you’re reading this to research if there’s anything you can do to “make the phone ring” in this challenging economy. More than a few of you will learn that you know you want to do something about SEO (search engine optimization) but simply don’t have the time… and you’ll hire me to get YOUR company website dominating the local Google search results!

Increase Your Chances of Pulling More of Higher Paying Google Adsense Ads!

Increase Your Chances of Pulling More of Higher Paying Google Adsense Ads!

There are no guarantees in life, so I don’t guarantee that following these tips will bring you more money every time. However, I do guarantee that they will greatly increase your chances of pulling more of the top-paying AdSense ads to your site than if you don’t follow these suggestions.

Enough with the disclaimers, let’s get down to the business of making money. Google lets advertisers bid anywhere from a minimum of .05 per click right up to a whopping 0. It should be pretty obvious that you’re not going to get rich running .05 cent ads on your site, for more details visit to www.instant-adsense-dollars.com but getting a few 0 ads, or even some , , or ads can’t be a bad thing, right?

Now the problem is, Google is pretty closed-mouthed about who is paying what for their ads, and there is no real way to determine which words pay the most per AdSense click.

But ah, far away in a parallel universe we find another Pay-Per-Click provider called Overture. It seems that Overture is less sensitive about releasing their top-priced words and anyone who cares to find out what web sites are paying for words and phrases can do so by simply using Overtures tattle-tale special pricing tool And it couldn’t be easier to use. You simply type in a key word or phrase and the tool returns a list of advertisers using that word and how much they are paying. It even shows you the actual ad.

Oh what a treasure trove of wealth-grabbing results this can be if you know what can be done with that priceless information.

Consider this possibility

Any key word or phrase that’s worth big bucks on Overture is probably worth big bucks on Google as well, maybe even more, right? So try this experiment:

Enter the phrase “SEO Services” without the quotes in the Overture tool when I entered that phrase on the day I wrote this article, for more details visit to www.adsense-income-exposed.com I was found a company called SEO Inc. that was willing to pay .01 per click, followed by SEO Advantage at .00, and Online Web Consultants at .50. Other bidders appeared below them in the .00 range straight on down to some who wouldn’t pay more than a dime per click.

Now, if a company is willing to pay that much money for a click on Overture, it is probably willing to pay that or more on Google. Even if that particular company isn’t advertising on Google, you can be pretty sure that the same key phrase is drawing near the same bid price from other companies who do advertise on Google. So what that means is there is no way that you can possibly afford NOT to have some web pages posted somewhere that are targeted to those sweet-paying words.

All you have to do is use Overture’s pricing tool to find the highest-paying key words that are related to your site and then optimize those words to start pulling similar ads. If all goes to plan, you can perhaps double, triple, or even quadruple your AdSense revenue without needing any increase in traffic or click-through rate.

Should Original Content Get Higher Rankings in Google?

admin    Google     Content, Google, Higher, Original, Rankings, Should

In late February, Google made some changes to it’s algorithm, which was rumoured to assist Big Brands in achieving search rankings. Of course Google denied this vehemently, saying their algorithm doesn’t even consider brand, and that instead it is still largely based on trust, authority, reputation, high quality and page rank.

In late March, Search Engine Land and AdAge reported on a coalition of big brands (The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time Inc, Hearst, ESPN), who want Google to go further and actually explicitly help out with their rankings.

All the above brands are members of the Google Publishers network, and as such, may expect to have some clout with Google. One of their main gripes is that they resent the components of Google’s algorithm, for example, Page Rank, as they think this criteria enables “parasites off the true producers of content” to benefit disproportionately.

The report by AdAge describes an example that these publishers used – When typing in Gaza into Google, they were unhappy that Wikipedia entries, BBC articles, The CIA Factbook entry on Gaza, a Twitter entry (bizarre) and a YouTube video ranked ahead of a Times news story on the conflict.

They were also outraged that all these results were presented in an identical manner, so that their brand could not easily be identified. Although complaining about the uniform presentation of results and the Google algorithm, (both of which aim to show no preference other than ‘relevance’ to a query), seems to be immature and displaying a lack of knowledge about the point of a search engine, the very basis of their complaint did not seem unreasonable to me. That is, that they think the original publishers of content should be rewarded for publishing it.

However, this then becomes an argument between the relative value of original and derivative content. Of course original content is necessary, because independent bloggers don’t necessarily have the clout and budget to have reporters everywhere (or even anywhere sometimes). However, derivative content often has a lot of added value which might mean that searchers prefer it to the original content. For example:

* A derivative article might summarise and link to an original article, making it more digestible.
* It often has differing perspectives, and could be seen as more impartial, when not associated with a big brand or politically friendly publisher.
* Writers of derivative content have more time to consider arguments, positions and facts due to the fact that they aren’t fighting to a deadline, so have the advantage of timely consideration.
* They are more likely able to link to many other published pieces on the subject and be an all in one resource (for example, Wikipedia).
* Derivative articles often offer interaction, allowing comments and participation.

If Google does try to continue to develop their algorithm so that original content is given a bit more help (which of course is what they are doing), that is fine, as long as it also continues to value other aspects like those listed above, that searchers also like to view.

These Big Brands could also help themselves somewhat, by doing some more SEO for their sites. One of the publishers listed in the Ad Age article acknowledged this through the following comment:

“They don’t owe us that we show up a particular way. They do publish a whole lot about how to make your site show up as much as possible. If people haven’t taken action on it, that’s their own damn fault.”

Get Higher Search Engine Rankings Tricks

admin    Google     Engine, Higher, Rankings, Search, Tricks

If you’re building a new website, or just wish to ameliorate the natural search results of an existing web site, there are some web marketing secrets you need to grasp – especially those that may offer a heavy boost to your positions.

Marketing mavencks begin with Google

I’ve seen assorted stats, but one thing is obvious, Google is the major player of search – commanding roughly 60% of all search site traffic volume. Ask any marketing professional where she or he would spend their search engine optimization efforts and they will definitely say’Google’. Do your maximum to rank well on Google. If you’re an established business, possibilities are that your internet site has been up for at least a year. Google enjoys seeing lastingness and responsibility. If you plan to be around for some time, register your domain for 3 years and show Google that you are in business to remain.
Optimize your default page for a Keyword Phrase

You have got to use the right keywords if you want your site to arise at the head of any search result list. This can be tricky because most individual keywords are very competitive. What should be done then? Another internet marketing tip is to use a keyword phrase, not simply a single keyword. To do so, pursue these easy steps :

Visit the Google search tool. This particular tool provides accurate info on how many individuals typed in a specific search term for the month before.
Type in your keyword and pay attention to other keyword recommendations. Choose some of the keyword phrases to evaluate. The higher number of people looking on a keyword phrase typically means that it’ll be harder for you to get excellent placement for that phrase. A good number to target, re monthly keyword phrase searches, is around one thousand – 2000 per month.
Type in Google the keyword phrase you’ve chosen. After that, notice the total number of results which appears in the right side after your search. This is the quantity of net pages that are related to this keyword phrase. You want to find the keyword phrase that commands the biggest number of monthly searches ( step two above ) and the smallest number of rivals.

On Page Optimization

If you’re planning to rank high for any keyword phrase, you need to create your on page optimization. Specifically, your use of H1 and H2 tags, page title, alt images, bolded text, italicized text, underlined text, and keyword vicinity. The web promoting secret here is to copy your competition and do things a little better. To do so, type in your keyword phrase in Google and visit the top five sites ranked one by one. Have they included the keyword phrase in their page title? Does the keyword appear in bolded text? Italicized text? Underlined? Is the phrase placed in the first twenty-five words on the page? How about the last 25 words? You’ll need to replicate what the best competitors for that keyword phrase have done and develop upon it. You do not want a promoting savvy to show you how to do what I’ve just told you, simply replicate the best and evaluate each point noted. Shape your website to make an appeal to Google and other key search engines.
Off – Page Optimization

The final online marketing tip you need to learn is the significance of off-page optimization. This refers back to the number of backlinks pointing to your website, the PR rank ( coming from Google Page Rank ) of the websites linking to you, and the anchor text of the link. There are a few straightforward things you can do to start developing an aggressive link campaign targeting those sites that link to your competitors – for the keyword phrase you have chosen. The best advice I can offer you after all is to research SEO and link building software on the internet. This will permit you to make the best of your time and target the best sites to boost your link popularity. I’ve certainly learned over the previous couple of years that your efficacy in this area is ultimately determined by the tools you use and effort you exert. Take my word for it, you do not want to build your links by hand you can never get ahead – so research options online. You have some tips on my sites. Once you begin developing links, you’ll need to monitor them on an ongoing basis.

Directory Submission For Higher Rankings And More Visitors

admin    Google     Directory, Higher, more, Rankings, Submission, Visitors

Directory submission is one of the best methods to receive one way incoming links to your site. This is one of the most significant parts when it comes to your link building strategies. It is the cheapest way to build huge number of back links to your website, which helps to improve rankings.

A listing is how you get increased targeted traffic and hence increased business. A paid web directory offers a premium service with faster approval times. Owners are extremely dedicated to creating a quality directory and not solely interested in making money. A web directory is something akin to a huge reference library.

Directory listing are a good start to promote a new site. Do not disguise your listing and submit the same URL more than once. Persistent automatic submissions may force to ban you. Avoid using the same title, description, and keywords, it may look a bit unnatural to the search engines to receive one way links from different sites using the same link text or title of your submission. Listings could be done only in those directories which are indexed by the search engines and search engine friendly. Do not submit sites consisting largely of affiliate links.

You should not ignore the importance of doing keyword research before using directories. Develop keyword rich titles and descriptions for each of your listing. For that reason, it is important to find the keywords that work best for your business. Also the ability to use multiple titles and descriptions helps maximize search engine optimization efforts.

Niche listings from niche directories can provide you with great related links. You get two core benefits: Additional targeted traffic from these directories. Quality one way links improves your site ranking in search engines.

Submission of your sites to search engines are not required, if your site has been listed properly in directories then search engines will crawl and index your site. Before submitting a site do a prior check to ensure your site is not already listed there so as to avoid duplication. Each directory has a different way it likes the content to be formatted and submitted. Placement is more effective when proper title and descriptions are selected to relevant categories.

To be successful, these directories must deliver good Google Page Rank or high quality traffic. Niche directories usually do a good job of sub categorizing within the main topic area, making them more useful to the everyday user. Most are older that tend to carry more weight with major Search Engines and have a larger human user base.

If you do not sufficient links pointing towards your site, your website most likely will never be found, that is why should place your site into these directories. Today every business or firm compete with one another in order to generate more and more profit or sales through their websites.

Link Popularity is one of the main factors which tell them how popular or important a website is, therefore it ranks your website accordingly. To get high rankings and more targeted traffic to your web site, it is essential to work out a focused linking strategy to establish link popularity on the web. Obtaining inbound links or back links in quantity and quality can influence your search engine rank immensely.

How to Get Higher Search Engine Rankings With Useful Articles

admin    Google     Articles, Engine, Higher, Rankings, Search, Useful

When we talk about search engine rankings, we can’t help but talk a little about search engine optimization. What most people know about search engine optimization, is that they need to get as many back links as possible. Half the number of these people know that these back links should come from authority sites (like sites having a high Google page rank).

So when you go to an SEO online forum, you’ll hear many people talking about page rank. But the problem is, that’s all they ever talk about. They keep focusing on the page rank, and talk about nothing but page rank. How did these authority sites get a high page rank in the first place? Here’s where 99% of the people in these forums get it wrong. They think that by having tons of back links on high page rank sites, they will eventually achieve high page rank themselves. Maybe that’s true, especially if the site is new. So what exactly is wrong here? Let’s take a closer look at these high page rank sites and see what they have in common.

The first thing that you should observe is that many of the sites that rank well in the search engines have a large number of pages in them. Not only do they have a large number of pages, these pages contain valuable information. It doesn’t matter if these content are usually user generated, but the fact remains that these sites are extremely useful for their visitors. In other words, they bring value to the table, not just thousands and thousands of pages of useless content.

I’m sure after the above paragraph, you would have guessed that many of these successful sites have figured this out long ago. They focused on generating useful applications and content. Sure, they may start out like every new site and buy some links here and there for promotion but they never lose sight of the ball. Some of these have gone off to be sold at six figures. Others have made millions for their founders.

So you see, the bull’s eye has always been generating useful content. Many people don’t really know this. So they spend all their time buying links, talking about page rank, and doing all that less important stuff when what they should have been doing is to create valuable content. Think about this. Even with tons of promotion, if your sites do not have useful content, you have to keep promoting it. And that means you keep paying and paying marketing dollars.

With a killer site, you can stretch that same marketing dollar because every visitor that comes to your site, will tell others about how useful your site is. Better still, they may link to you from their blogs. And that’s how links grow virally and naturally.

so if you’re going to write your next article, write useful articles. Post them on your sites and to article directories, and visitors will come to your sites again and again, boosting them to the next level of success.

Offpage Seo – What Is It And How Can You Rank Higher?

admin    Google     Higher, Offpage, Rank

There are many factors involved in offpage search engine optimization that, if done correctly, will help you get your site ranked by Google and the other search engines. Offpage website optimization includes the following:

Which websites that link to your page
How many other websites link to your competitor?
The Google page rank of the websites that link to yours
The page titles of the websites linking to yours
The anchor text used in the linking to you
The number and type of links linking to the website that’s linking to you
The number of outbound links on the website that is linking to you
The total number of links on the website that is linking to you
Are the websites linking to you deemed as an authority website by Google?

Essentially, what you want to do is study the top ranked website for your chosen keyword. You need to do exactly what they are doing – only better. Obviously, these top ranked websites are doing something right, so learn from them and then take it a step further. Google looks at all the factors mentioned above – and then some, so make sure that you study the competition in order to rank better than they do.

You don’t have to beat your competitors in every single category – just in enough of them to weigh more heavily in your favor. For instance, if your competitor has 100 links to their site from other sites, find out the page rank of these other sites. If they are all have a 0 or a 1 Google page ranking, then it’s going to be pretty easy for you to beat that. You won’t need 100 links to your site, just a few actually – BUT from pages with a much higher page ranking!

Begin by typing your keyword into Google and take note of the #1 result. Study that webpage for a while – check their own Google page rank, etc.

Now we want to check the links TO this #1 ranked site. Go back to google and enter in the search box the following: link:www.SITE (where SITE = the url of the site you are studying). This will return a list of all the sites that are linking TO your competitors website. From here you will want to check the page rankings of those sites and the anchor text that is used to link to your competitor.

This entire process can be very time consuming, but is necessary to properly optimize your own website to rank above your competition. Once you have completed your research you will know exactly what you need to do to get your own page ranked higher on the search engines.

How to Get Higher Page Ranking with the Help of an SEO Copywriter?

admin    Google     Copywriter, Help, Higher, Page, Ranking

Those who are aware of search engines would also have a clear idea about search engine ranking. And those who know about search engine rankings, for them SEO or Search Engine Optimization would never be a tough concept to digest! What is SEO then? Search Engine Optimization is a process through which websites are helped get good rankings in the major search engines of the likes of Yahoo!, Google and MSN. Getting decent ranking in the search engines mater a lot for a site because the higher the rank it achieves, the more is the chances of it getting clicked by visitors. And more clinks would obviously bring more profits. In today’s ever-growing competitive online business world, websites need to be made easily visible in the search engines so that visitors can notice them and come to them without having any difficulty.

Therefore, SEO specialists try their level best to make the websites search engine optimized by following several SEO algorithms. While carrying out any SEO campaign, these specialists heavily rely on keywords optimization. Keywords which are used in the contents of a website are the fuels behind any SEO campaign. Therefore, search engine copywriting specialists create keyword rich copies for websites. Copywriters are creative people and they are adept at creating fresh and original contents meeting all search engine parameters.

Copywriting SEO has now turned into a very important segment contributing to the success of any SEO campaign. Without neatly-written copies, SEO is not at all possible. Hence, an SEO copywriter pays attention to various factors while developing copies for websites. Keyword density and occurrence, visibility of them need to be completely examined before running any SEO campaign.

Search engine spiders always look for only relevant keywords and key-phrases while indexing webpages for desired information. Those sites which have done their SEO campaigns right, have a better chance to come into the highlight in this aspect. Until and unless you create your copies with the help of professional writers, you may not reach to that dream of getting to the top positions in the search engines result pages!

Avoid Hidden Text If Your Dream is to Get Higher Page Rankings

admin    Google     Avoid, Dream, Hidden, Higher, Page, Rankings, Text

In any Internet search engine optimization endeavor, hidden text has often been conceived as a challenge faced by search engines and webmasters. As spammers have shown a great inclination towards hidden text to stuff keywords into their pages to get high rankings on search engines, search engines are now figuring out when and how spammers do it. However, there are a number of hidden texts some of which are even tried by web designers for legitimate reasons that have nothing to do with the business of getting high ranking on a search engine like that of Google.

Also known as ‘invisible’ or ‘fake’ text, hidden text on a web page is visible to search engines but not to website visitors. Most commonly, hidden text is created by setting the font color same as the background color thus making the text invisible unless the user highlights it. There are some other ways to create hidden texts which are:

By setting the font size to 0 or to a negative number. By using noscript text like <script type=”text/javascript”> <!– [removed](“This text is not hidden”) //–> </script> <noscript>This is hidden text</noscript>

Often web sites use hidden text to disguise spoilers for readers who do not wish to read that text. Hidden text in online activity is also used to hide data from users who are less internet-savvy. And as it has already been stated, hidden text is one of the favorite tools for spammers that they implement to get higher ranks in search engines. However, search engine major Google has taken bold steps to prevent this spamming effort by parsing the color of text as it indexes it. Therefore a search engine optimization specialist will never encourage you to go for these tactics. Because of Google’s initiative against spamming, Search engine optimization companies are now concentrating on the genuine tactics for getting higher search engine rankings, not on hidden text.
