<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://farm9.static.flickr.com/8263/8649824812_aaf031a02a.jpg" align="left" width="270" style="padding:10px;" /> <br />txt file and adding it to your root directory. What this does is it disallows the search engine from accessing certain files on your website.</p>
<p>Exercise caution on a shared server. Be certain not to use the same proxy that a banned website has used. Sharing a server with a bad website will lower your rating, and negatively affect your traffic.</p>
<p> <a href="http://senukereview.weebly.com/">Read more news about senuke xcr review</a> It is important to understand that web crawlers have a difficult time recognizing videos on your website. Providing a site map with descriptive keywords for your videos will allow the crawler to access this information and will greatly improve your search engine optimization efforts.</p>
<p>To raise your search engine rankings, keeping your content unique should be at the top of your list. Interesting, original content ranks higher on search engines because it attracts more traffic. Readers tend to come back and visit often when you give them content that is special and even helpful to them.</p>
<p> Avoid filling your entire page with links. You should try to incorporate links into your content in a way that appears natural. Visitors are unlikely to find link pages very interesting, and search engines do not rank such pages very highly. You can have more professional content by relating your content to the text.</p>
<p>This will seriously improve the ranking given to your site by the search engines. In many search engines, the meta description appears right under the hyperlink for the website, so make it inviting for searchers to click onto your site. Many content management systems give you the opportunity to adjust your meta description in the editing area for the individual page.</p>
<p>For a good affiliate marketing strategy set up pay-per-click advertising. This is the easiest service to provide to affiliates, so the pay is correspondingly modest, but it can rapidly build up.</p>
<p>Try adding a survey or questionnaire to your website to help you discover your target audience. You will find consumers enjoy taking surveys that tell them more about themselves. Question them about their shopping habits and interests. You will learn a lot about your target group, and your visitors will enjoy participating in your surveys.</p>
<p>Those websites which are set up the best way possible for search engine optimization don&#8217;t use image links. Only the URL is offered for the search engine index when there is an image link.</p>
<p>Even if your articles, topics or pages are about the same general subject, the titles and names should each be unique and interesting. Titles should be short and sweet. If a title is too lengthy, it loses its importance. The title is the first impression of an article, therefore making it very important to the reader.</p>
<p>Image links can be optimized for search engine ranking by adding an &#8220;alt&#8221; tag to each image. These tags will replace the images, should the visitor disable images on their end. Search engines read these tags and index them, so you can boost your page rankings by having keywords in them.</p>
<p>If you want to improve your rankings, this article&#8217;s tips are a valuable source of knowledge. You want the highest rankings possible, and that can only happen with solid, effective SEO practices.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SEO elements take up most of our concentration when we put efforts to make our websites search engine friendly. The On Page Elements extend beyond the Meta Title Tag, the Meta Descriptions Tag, the URL structure and the image optimization. We are, today, going to study an onsite SEO element that helps a great deal in search engine optimization.</p>
<p>Heading – (H1 to H6) Tags</p>
<p>We know that creative content has a big role to play. Neatly paragraphed text on the web page looks similar and uninteresting to the readers if the type style, fonts, sizes and color or the text are all the same. We also know that seldom few people read through the entire web page content. We need to mark the lines according to their importance; this will gives us two (2) benefits:</p>
<p>The website visitors can read through the important lines and decide whether to read further or not<br />The search engines crawl to index and read through the important areas of the text.</p>
<p>The H1 tag has its own importance. The characteristic of the written text, whether we are writing for the magazine or the newspaper, the people look for the headlines, these are generally the H1 tags in the terms of SEO.</p>
<p>H2, H3 to H6 are categorized with the level of importance these heading get from the search engines. Optimized H1 tags play a vital role. While building the script and while deciding upon the H1 tag, do consider the use of relevant keywords, so that the page being optimized gets its desired position on the search engines.</p>
<p>Google SEO best practice guide, guides us through the SEO science. About &#60;H&#62; tags it says, “Heading tags (not to be confused with the &#60;head&#62; HTML tag or HTTP headers) are used to present structure on the page to users. There are six sizes of heading tags, beginning with &#60;h1&#62;, the most important, and ending with &#60;h6&#62;, the least important.</p>
<p>Since heading tags typically make text contained in them larger than normal text on the page, this is a visual cue to users that this text is important and could help them understand something about the type of content underneath the heading text. Multiple heading sizes used in order create a hierarchical structure for your content, making it easier for users to navigate through your document.”</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s important to understand what keywords or keyphrases can yield that greatest impact to your goal of increasing site traffic.  Too often, clients have already built their online presence only to find out afterwards that they best solution is starting over.  Sadly, I&#8217;ll admit I&#8217;ve made this mistake far too many times to not know better.  Shall I be noted as insane?</p>

The guide covers 4 simple easy to understand steps used to select what keywords and keyphrases will suit your site best: 1)  Brainstorming, 2) Analyzing, 3) Distribution and 4) Evaluation.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://myleftone.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/social-seo.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1063" title="The New SEO: Social Sharing and Sentiment Matter" alt="The New SEO: Social Sharing and Sentiment Matter" src="http://myleftone.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/social-seo.jpg?w=300&#038;h=234" height="234" width="300" /></a>By now you&#8217;ve heard of Google+, right?</p>
<p>When Google announced its very own social platform earlier in 2011, the theories abounded: First, there was &#8220;It&#8217;s a competitor to Facebook and Twitter.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nope.</p>
<p>Then we heard &#8220;It&#8217;s for the geeks who use all of Google&#8217;s unique applications.&#8221;</p>
<p>Not quite, unless Google really wants to hang its future on all three of those folks.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Finally, &#8220;It&#8217;s a way to gather activity data that can be used to drive search.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now we&#8217;re talking. Google realized that SEO has changed severely because of social activity, and it happened while they were sitting around tweaking their obsolete code.</p>
<p>Okay, maybe that&#8217;s a bit harsh. After all, <a title="The New SEO &#124; Wordtracker Blog" href="http://www.wordtracker.com/academy/the-new-seo" target="_blank">Google&#8217;s algorithm includes user behavior data. </a>The company pioneered true organic search technology, and is still the standard setter that every webmaster strives to please. Content-based SEO strategies have long been a thing of the past, thanks to Google.</p>
<p>But there&#8217;s no doubt that Google noticed that more and more web activity was based on social sharing, and the associated data was owned by others. Google had your IP address and <a title="Is Social Media The New SEO? &#124; Business 2 Community" href="http://www.business2community.com/social-media/is-social-media-the-new-seo-how-content-is-set-to-take-over-the-race-to-the-top-073864" target="_blank">pretty detailed click data</a>, but Facebook had your name, favorite rock bands, activities, brands, and list of friends, among other items, much of it volunteered. The segmented advertising power this provides is staggering, and Google didn&#8217;t have any of it.</p>
<p>Can you say &#8220;Writing on the wall?&#8221;</p>
<p>In January 2011, Facebook was valued by investor Goldman Sachs at around $50B. Many wondered how the hell a startup with a bunch of pointless time-wasting apps led by a megalomaniac geek could be worth anything like that. For some of us in marketing, it was easy to understand. It was the data.</p>
<p>For the folks at Google, who know marketing better than just about anyone, it was a drop-dead cinch: Get Google+ out there, and quick.</p>
<p>So now here it is: The New SEO. You want inbound links? Social platforms give you an endless supply of them, should you be able to sway crowds to your cause. Which platforms should you use, you ask? How about &#8220;As many as humanly possible?&#8221;</p>
<p>Are you producing a ton of content on your website and blog but not getting it out there using social tools? Keywords alone won&#8217;t cut it anymore. You need activity, so use your content to create buzz.</p>
<p>Are you getting buzz, but it&#8217;s not all positive? Such is life, but you need to be online and ready with a social fire drill strategy. And you need to be thick-skinned but able to tread lightly in the social realm.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the customer&#8217;s world, you just live in it.</p>
<p>Google will be the search engine of choice for some time to come, so we&#8217;re all settled in for a long winter&#8217;s night with their rules, but if you&#8217;re sitting around waiting for content keywords to work their magic, you&#8217;re old school.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re long past the &#8220;Why should my company get social?&#8221; discussion by now, anyway. If your dead-in-the-water SEO strategy isn&#8217;t impetus enough, nothing is.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>by Jerry Sakala, Search Engine Marketing Advisor</p>
<p>Well now you know that Zambia&#8217;s Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) was ranked among the top 10 providers of investment advice on the planet by Google? Thats well ahead of 3,300,000 competitors in the world.Its a prestigious Google ranking that creates instant credibilty,brand recognition and trust that resonated with 27,100 ready able and willing unique investors searching Google  every month for &#8220;investment advice&#8221;.</p>
<p>So what was the problem?  where are the investors? Where are the enquiries, phone calls and emails from cash -loaded investors eager to get investment advice from Zambia&#8217;s SEC.</p>
<p>Like I said there is a problem that went unoticed for days by the SEC&#8230;AND UNLESS it is dealt with THE utmost urgency it deserve, THIS may well be dubbed the worst blunder in Zambia&#8217;s financial history.</p>
<p>Firstly you  need to appreciate the demanding skill,expense and expertise that goes into achieving such enviable position hat only the world major financial publishng houses are enjoying be it at HUGE costs; the likes of by Motely Fool,Forbes,Moneyweek,Investment U, street.com, investmentadviceonline.com and now SEC. As the saying goes the higher they go the harder they fall. Its a search engine marketibg disaster of 2009&#8230;</p>
<p>The implications are too disastrous to ponder.Once this overlooked problem hits the blogoshere, get ready to shut down the SEC,suspend trading on LSE, declare a bank  holiday in Zambia.Literaly suspend all electronic transaction until this problem is declared SOLVED.</p>
<p>In less than two minutes you are about to discover the BIGGEST risk facing financial websites due to poor adherance to SEO  best practice&#8230;best practice being the appliction of systematic holistic SEO marketing strategies and tactics that take into account Technical and coding considerations, indepth content analysis, key word and phrse analysis spam evaluation and risk assessment,searcher usability etc..</p>
<p>In short well trained SEO Marketers who care to understand and apply effective and ethical ways to increase site positioning and conversion for the whole site not . Only SEO Marketers who cre to protect ns preserve reputation can do this and are worthy of such startegic roles.<br />
 </p>
<p>Are you ready?</p>
<p>Before this post, when you typed in &#8220;investment advice&#8221; Zambia Securities and Exchange Commission &#8220;investor information web page appeared among the top 10.Now its been shunted to oblivion.</p>
<p>Search engine marketing Disaster of 2009 indeed.Now visit <a href="http://www.sec.gov.zm">www.sec.gov.zm</a>  you will find that an unscuplous hacker has removed the original &#8220;investment advice&#8221; page and written a mesage that says in part..&#8221; i have hacked your site&#8230;F**k</p>
<p>For a  Securities and Exchange authority site ,Government website (.gov) for that matter, this is tottally unacceptable level of exposure especially for financial related website.The damage to reputaion and ecoomy could take years repair. Where does that leave Lusaka Stock Exchange,Banks,ZRA&#8230;GO check t now&#8230; <a href="http://www.sec.gov.zm">www.sec.gov.zm</a> (you might find message &#8220;this website will be Restored but try navigating the pages). <a href="http://www.sec.gov.zm">www.sec.gov.zm</a></p>
