Video power
It is time to get with the program. Video is a powerful tool to get you more views. This is more than using Youtube to place a few mini movies. You can promote your site by using video and placing movies on your pages. It is important to use analytics to find out what effect they are having on traffic for you. The more videos you create the greater the chance that one will go viral and bring you a traffic in a massive wave.

Getting quality links
It is important to get quality links, not spam ones. This is what search engines use. For example, links from forums typically are low in value due to many being spammy. Robots are getting smarter all the time with better algorithms that can track you. OK this is one reason you need to go to authority sites to get high quality links for your pages. Place more effort into this as the results will make you rank high in the search engines.

Cell phone SEO
OK, you want people to find you. Well, it is import to have many links going to your name. Also, have at least nine links going to John Doe Phone Number or ron roe phone so they can find you. It can take a while, but eventually with cell phone SEO your main site will move up. Please place your cellular telephone number for you business because that way if you get too many junk calls you can get another number and keep going. Search engine optimization is important for small business, but many forget to optimize their number and name.

Google rules the world
Step right up. I have a tale to tell that is a most interesting saga. First of page rank refers to Larry Page a Google cofounder, not the rank of your web page. Also, the Google algorithm rules the world of search engines. In fact, we depend on it every day ever more. This is because the internet is gaining. It is being integrated into our lives as we became an information based economy.
SEO tips from Matt Cutts
Here are some SEO tips from Matt Cutts. OK many are things we already use. However, you might learn something new. It is a good read to see how we are looked at by the big search engines.
The algorithm is design to filter out spam. Which means we should put effort and quality into our pages. Simply creating filler content will not help us in the long run.
Google tries to see how long users linger on each page. If the quickly hit the back arrow. Well that tells search engines that your site may contain content that is poor. Also, that they selected your page in error. Hope all the very best for you and yours.

Yahoo soon gone
Yahoo is out of the search game. Folks, it is sad to see this old veteran go. Yahoo was one of the few olskool search engines. Remember, Altavista, Alltheweb, etc... There use to be many players in this movie. It is now a death watch with the merger of microsoft and yahoo reminds me of K-mart and sears. Those two losers still cannot take on Walmart and win.

PPC or PPO?
Selling product is hard work and then some. Instead of price per click (PPC) I prefer to think in terms of price performance optimization (PPO) and try to make my gain. There are many tricks to PPC optimization such as making your site relevant and putting the keywords in the body copy. What we try to do is craft the keywords to fit our selling page. Adwords gives me a lot of big ideas on how to compete on price.

Folks our prohibition will end and create ops for SEO's like you.

Landing Page Optimization
LPO or Landing Page Optimization is important to the max. If your potential customers do not buy your product, then all the effort is gone. What you need to do is understand the three key questions your page must answer. This is important even before you build the page. I focus on creating value for the consumer. Adding pics can also make the page more exciting as well as movie. The idea is to inform as well as entertain your consumer.

SEO Factors
There are new trends in SEO. Social media is taking off now. Video is big as people are using the internet to watch movies. Sadly, many of these methods are new ways to make more money. What we report is that many things that use to work, no longer do so. This is not because it was a poor choice, but due to greater sophistication of the search engines. If you use methods that use to work in the 90's your results will be poor.

SEO for profit
There are many ebooks that are long on promise. However, they are short on success. People are rarely able to wake up early and do the amount of work SEO requires. That said, I feel that most ecommerce sites can earn you money. Definitely SEO can bring you more than a regular job at a common wage.

That is because page rank influences buying decisions made by consumers. A higher page rank is associated with a bigger more legit page.

Well, you need will some links to your pages.
