What I learned today

    Learning is a lifelong process and that is never more true than in online marketing! With that in mind, here are a few things I picked up today that may also be useful to you… Email Marketing Avoid using a free email account address as your reply email for your email autoresponder messages or campaigns. Use your own domain name email rather than eg a gmail address. It improves deliverability. If you don’t have a website, spend $10 and buy a domain name just for using as an email server for your email marketing. I recommend and use NameCheap. When you are… Read More »What I learned today

      Getting Indexed in The Search Engines

        Being indexed in Google, Bing and elsewhere is one of the key things you need to do to get some traction under your spanking new website or blog. I have a little site on one of the grab-and-drop self-build-it sites. It has worked fine until I mucked it up today and inadvertently enabled redirection on my domain manager. Brian not engaged.

        Where to Use Keywords

          Use keywords effectively enhance your search engine ranking and get better organic search results.

          Here’s where you can use the words to best effect:

          1. Your title page – plug them into your title tag
          2. On the first and last line of articles, or as phrases in articles. Google doesn’t read punctuation so if your keyword phrase is marathon training, you can end one sentence with marathon then start the next sentence with Training. Perfectly acceptable.
          3. In your anchor text such as links to other pages and in your photo or image tags, use your keyword phrases – they get good attention from search engines.
          4. In the title of an embedded video, in the filename of the video or in the alt tags

          Don’t overdo it and stuff your content with your critical keywords or you may just do the opposite of what you’re trying to achieve. Go easy but be intelligent about how and where you useRead More »Where to Use Keywords

          SEO and Rankings

            Finding the ‘best’ ways to get your site ranked in search engines is like a dark art in many ways …  so much advice, and much of it dated.

            Today I came across these guys who seem to have cracked the jackpot for one their sites.

            http://www.the42ndestate.com/how-page-rank-5-two-months/

            They give some of their tips and techniques but a fair bit is missing like the intricacies of how they tweaked the Thesis theme to get the most juice from it.

            Me?

            SEO is not one of my strengths, I’ll admit.

            Every day is a learning opportunity.

            Learn a bit. Apply a bit. Learn a bit more. Apply a bit more.

            At the end of the month I’m going to run a webinar asking two guys who have a solid grip on SEO for their best knowledge and ideas.

            Get Better Ranking in YouTube: SEO Trick

              Here’s a really cool technique to increase the chance of getting your YouTube videos to page one in Google. I’ve heard of this method before but now the steps are clear in this video:

              1. choose a four-word keyword phrase that has thousands of searches
              2. make a short 2-3 minute video on the topic with a call to action to go to your website
              3. upload the video to YouTube
              4. do something special with the title, description and tags
              5. add some more seo, get likes, shares, ping etc
              6. sit back and see if it works!

              My notes from the vid:

              • Title – up to maximum of 12 words in title. Use the 4-word keyword phrase AND 3 word keyword phrase repeating 3 of the 4 words AND another 3 word keyword phrase repeating 3 other of the 4 keywords . Example BEST JALAPENO CHILLI RECIPES – BEST CHILLI RECIPES – BEST JALAPENO RECIPES
              • When producing your video, include Captions and Callouts –Read More »Get Better Ranking in YouTube: SEO Trick
