Making Money Resources

I have been creating and operating web sites for the past 3 years. I have developed a proven method of getting the sites I run into the search engines quickly. I then use that proven concept to aid in achieving high rankings for a small number of keywords, allowing the buoyancy effect to increase the rankings for the other keywords when one or two keywords ranks very high. This is the cornerstone of my search engine ranking strategy. In the event you did not know, when one or two keywords rank well within a given site, many secondary keywords enjoy a buoyancy effect and are lifted because of the nice rankings of the main keywords. This cost effective keyword marketing has allowed my clients to keep for themselves a large dollar amount in SEO fees over the years while receiving terrific organic rankings.

When preparing a site for launch I will initially review a few characteristics of the site. The first things I look for on the main pages are the use of H1 and H2 tags inside the actual text on the home page. The reason for the tags is that the search engine spiders will instantly look at text contained inside of the tags to determine the overall theme of the web site. When the correct process is used to highlight the text and tags are used to support them, the search engines have a very easy time determining what the site is about and itcan more easily include or exclude if the site should be included when they encounter users looking for terms that are on your website.

As an additional part of the keyword ranking factors, I always like to see the use of anchor text in the text on the home page. I have helped many website owners to achieve better rankings by having them remove images where the important message of the site, what it is all about, is embedded in the image. The simple fact is that, while the images may appear to offer a better look and feel for the site, the search engines cannot read images and pull text away from the image, so it is not worthwhile to put the important message of the site in the image. I always suggest that they use an image with less size and that text be in a prominent position so that the user can click and go instantly to the point of interest.

I like to have a page contained in the site for each keyword being used. The search engines like to be able to specifically go to pages that are called the same as the keyword they are targeting. A page written for a wedding photographer should place some text in anchor text links on the main page for a wedding photographer leading them to a page called www.anysite.com/wedding-photographer.htm. The search engines will be able to process that link in short order and can quickly give it the right theme to work with.

The very next task I undertake it remove all underscores and replace them with dashes. I have heard, seen and witnessed countless examples of pages not being indexed as well because of the use of underscores. I cannot explain why (I do not know) but I am aware that this issue exists and should not be challenged. Two pages that have almost identical names, wedding-photographer.htm and wedding_photographer.htm , will not score equally in the search engines, all else remaining equal. It is proven each and every time I test it so please stay away from it.

Wouldn’t it be valuable to know what the search engines think the theme of your site is? The most consistently proven method of gaining this information is to use the Google Keyword Tool (type that phrase into a search engine). You will quickly be granted inside information as to what Google thinks your site is about when you look at the terms it returns. Many customers that I work with are shocked to gain the knowledge that the search engines do not think the site is even remotely close to what they intended and we go through a process of fixing the view from the search engine’s perspective. We do that by using links that contain no follow terms built into them and by highlighting keywords with H1 and H2 tags. The site can be easily and quickly repaired to provide the correct theme so please do not worry if your site is not what you think.
