Link power

Link power is important to make rank gains. SEO gurus call it link juice. Will the link bubble pop soon? Well, some say in 2010. The world will experience some changes and that is no lie guy.

Content Farms

Remember the banner farms of the 1990's - well, welcome to the content farms of the 2010's. This is not a drill. There is an attempt to over power search engines. These sites have mountains of text the is gibberish.

AOL to cut staff 1/3

Giant AOL will cut staff by one third of norm. This is terrible news. Feel sad for those losing jobs this holiday season. Things are not rosy. Sadly, many other people will lose jobs at the big search engines.

PPC prices

The good news is PPC prices. They are falling. Of course this means there is no recovery. I fully expected the price for each click to go up. However, I see that is continues to go down and now for big keywords that bring in a lot of traffic that were 38 cents I am paying only a mere 20. Talk about the future that never was.

Jump to links

Google is using jump to links. This is new. It makes for a richer user experience. For example, use Google search engine to find - black nano.

Monetizing your blog

There are many monetization methods for your blog. Sadly, many blogs are not making you any money. However, this can be changed. For example, using adsense, or aff marketing. The key is to get traffic then convert it into money.

Long Tail Search

OK one way to get more traffic is to use Long Tail Search to drive users. It is easier to rank for long tail keywords in the search engines. People focus on high traffic max pop words and since long tail is hard to figure out, they will often overlook certain segments of their viewers.

search marketing predictions

Here are five search marketing predictions for 2010. Well, those are his. Actually my three are -

1) more movies
2) more music
3) more copy

We will see a lot more movies as broadband get easier and cheaper. The days of the 56K modem are over.

Blogwalking can lift your page. It will help you rank higher in the search engines. This is a simple low cost technique. Get use to posting comments on other blogs that are dofollow and you will get more attention as well as link juice.

pay phone model gone

The olskool pay phone model is gone. That is a model where people pay you per hour and you promise great returns on their expense. OK now people want results and they are less happy to pay. If you promise a lot, you must be able to produce. It is like before using the pay phone model even if your results were less than stellar the customer had to pay you for your time anyway. Well, now the customer only pays if they sell and you must optimize landing pages.

Creating Linkable Content

Hey, we all want more traffic, so one way is. Creating linkable content that is easy to use. This way we can get more back links as well as exposure. The key is to go after high KEI keywords and talor make your content in their service.

page speed a ranking factor

Search engines want to your pages to speed up. OK we all have a need for speed. Still, it might be time to get rid of excess. For example that big flash nav. Google is adding page loading speed as a ranking factor. This means if you want you rank to increase. Well, you might want to make your website lean and mean.

Getting Links

The KEI can weed out overcompetitive keywords that get very little hits. It can help you concentrate on keywords that have few competitors, but lots of buyers who are eager.

Testing anchor text

Testing anchor text links is important. Ken says Google does not count nofollow. Well, that may be so. I feel that some nofollow links like from WIKI have more weight than other, but not sure.

Anchor text is very important in the links you get so try to maximize. By that I mean tell friends not to use click here, but to descrive your site so it helps you.

Trust economy

What we have is the evolution of a new trust economy. This is very important in social networks. People often are soaked with knowledge, but they need to classify the date as trust or no.

It is important for you to establish yourself as a trusted resource. This may take some time and effort as well as other expenses. However, you will retain the gain.

Call To actions are important

If you want sales, and most of us do - you need a compelling call to action. Well, not something trite like - call now. However, it must stimulate the buyer to click that big buy button. Hey, you know that garish red bod block that has BUY in huge letters. If you cannot get the users to whip out their credit cards and buy your mix. Then you are out of the game.

Speed important to Google

Search engines put a premium on speed. Google wants sites to load fast. This is a metric in ranking your web site. Please optimize for quick loading pages.
