Google Releases SEO Beginners Guide

Google.com has released their first ever SEO Guide for sites that want to rank higher in the Google SERP's. All the info is pretty basic, but it's always nice to make sure your site is properly optimized for the google index. After all, ranking high in Google is every internet marketers goal (besides making sales).

Our Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide covers around a dozen common areas that webmasters might consider optimizing. We felt that these areas (like improving title and description meta tags, URL structure, site navigation, content creation, anchor text, and more) would apply to webmasters of all experience levels and sites of all sizes and types. Throughout the guide, we also worked in many illustrations, pitfalls to avoid, and links to other resources that help expand our explanation of the topics. We plan on updating the guide at regular intervals with new optimization suggestions and to keep the technical advice current.

Squidoo Needs To Impose Affiliate Link Limits

Think I'm crazy? Go to Squidoo.com and just take a look at how many Lenses are FULL of affiliate links.

Guess who's going to get slapped soon...yes, Squidoo will.

Google is in the business of promoting unique, creative and informative user experiences. Google does not reward sites that are poorly written pages with affiliate links after every 4-5 sentences.

Hopefully Squidoo will impose some outbound link limits like Hubpages. Link limits ALWAYS increase the quality of the content.

Research For Unique Content

Have you ever had a profitable niche that is just...well...boring? You've been there before...every internet marketer has (and you probably there right now). I'm going to tell you how I write for subjects that I know very little about.

It's quite simple. I go to ezinearticles.com and search enzine for the topic that I need to write content on. I'll read about 3 articles and then write an new article based on what I learned from those 3 articles.

It's that simple. Now you have no excuse! Get out there are write some new content for you sites.

Want Massive Amounts of Traffic For Free? Here's How!

I'm going to tell you how I get 2500 unique visitors a day to my 4 blogs....I write interesting and unique posts every day and Google sends me traffic...that's it. Getting traffic is not a secret, although many (if not all) internet marketers would like you to believe it is.

Getting a lot of traffic is not an overnight process...it can take months. When starting a new website or blog think of it as a bare field. Each post you write is essentially a seed being planted. A few months later...HARVEST TIME!!!

Google Giving Affiliate Stores The Boot!

Uggg...I'm frustrated today. I have 4 BANS stores that used found on pages 1-10 and 10-20 for their optimized queries for 9 months....now...all queries to those stores are found on the 100+ SERPS.

Let's look at these stores stats:

-5 content pages with 400 word articles.
-content on the main page (about 500-600 words).
-no ebay feeds on the main page.
-100+ solid back links.
-low competetion (about 10,000 competing pages).
-PR2's

So, looking at the stats above it would appear that i'm being "targeted" as a thin store affiliate. Are my sites thin? No, they have a lot of content. So why do I think they are thin in googles eyes...simple...people cannot make their final purchase on my site and are thus forward to another site for check out. Therein lies googles issue with my sites.

While this is frustating I understand Google's point. People come to a store expecting to buy a product there...not to be redirected.

So, what's the solution? Probably ditching the whole store thing and starting wordpress blogs with phpbay pro for each niche. Now we are just talking about products instead of selling them in a store environment.
