			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Q: Do i have to check my ranking in search engines and how this can benefit me?</strong> A: Always check your rankings in Search Engines because thats is the only place where you can see which SEO effort are working and then you can modified accordingly. If you know one of your website page is on second position in a Search Engine then you know your almost there you just have to see where you can improve this page to jump to number page number one in that particular search engine</p>
<p><strong>Q: Do i have to find out which website are ranking my websites?</strong> A: yes,find out the website which are linking to you and why they are linking to you and which pages they are linking ( link: www.domain.com; link: domain.com) second one will give you more precise results</p>
<p><strong>Q: Can i Automate my linking process?</strong> A:Well there are two thoughts on it, but every body is agree more link (quality) you have better they are for your website</p>
<p><strong>Q: Does Search Engines minds if i have errors on website?</strong> A: Always checks for erros and Make sure your website is error-free, there are different kind of errors (broken link etc)</p>
<p><strong>Q: Does hosting matter to my website ranking?</strong> A: Yes it does and make sure your host is ultra reliable</p>
<p><strong>Q: Do i have to check how visitor on my website behaving?</strong> A: Yes, alway try understand your site visitors’ behavior, check out your exit pages and analyze the exit pages to see why visitors are leaving. There are many reason which can cause this.<br />
<strong>Q: Your site map has more than 100 links to your pages, What is the best way to design link structure?</strong></p>
<p>A: Create a hierarchy of links, and split up the site map into multiple pages. Because search engines are hesitant to give any specific guidelines on how to optimize our websites, any small detail becomes very important. As far as site maps are concerned, this is an issue where it pays to listen to the search engines, especially since with large content sites well-designed site maps are a sure bet that your site will be quickly indexed.</p>
<p>Google’s Webmaster Guidelines clearly state that you should limit your sitemaps to less than 100 links per page, and that it is better to use a hierarchy that signifies the site structure and the importance of these pages. It is good advice to follow, especially when a search engine says that “look, this helps us index your site better”.</p>
<p><strong>Q: For optimization purposes, how should you use images on your site?</strong></p>
<p>A: Use the alt tag to accurately describe the each image, and include descriptive content around each image. At the very least, images should contain alt tags with one or two keywords describing that image, and you should try surrounding that image with relevant text. If the image is not used in context (i.e. it is not part of a content page or an article), you should add a couple of lines below the image describing it. In essence, what you would do if you were caring for people whose browsers disabled images and those who wanted some details about the images.</p>
<p><strong>Q: which is best website structure in term of SEO &amp; Usability ?</strong> here from structure i mean flat or directory</p>
<p>A: Please Help Me</p>
<p>SEO-Wizz Answer: Obviously make sure any site is xhtml compliant and that pages are no more than 3 clicks deep. Some other aspects are ensure title tag is first line of sode after the head tag, use headings to seperate content, try to use hyper text links over nav buttons or drop down menus, use keywords in your sub domain, ensure meta keywords are relevant and not spammy, use alt attributes with your images, minimise the use of flash and java to help content to code ratio.</p>
<p>Remember this is very long list i just try to touch some points here in first attempt. I will certainly try answer some more here soon and if you have please do ask me i will try to answer it best of knowledge, thanks</p>
<p>Mean while if you have time and knowledge do reply for my this question about SEO, is it science or art?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before now, creating and publishing websites on the World Wide Web weren&#8217;t as easy as they are today. This is good news anyway, because anybody that has access to the computer and the internet can make use of any of the free web design resources online and come up with something relatively decent. But the real issues begin with trying to let others know of such sites that were easily created. Creating the websites might not be quite hard but promoting and marketing the sites are different ball games entirely.</p>
<p>There is no way you should ignore most of the search engines optimization techniques and hope to get the best from your website. This is because it is only when you site is optimized for search engines&#8217; visibility that you will start getting traffic and business activities. Searching engine optimization[SEO] are the process used to make sure that one&#8217;s site or blog is ranked in the top pages of the Google search result pages. Using Google here is figurative because it includes all other search engines especially the top players such as Yahoo, MSN, Bing and so on.</p>
<p>The tips, ways, and methods of search engines optimizations abounds on the internet but one that has stood the test of time with proven positive results is link building. Link building entails linking with other websites in order to gain more link popularity that is needed for higher page rankings. These links will become more valuable if they are pointing back from top ranking sites that are operating in the same niche as yours. You may not be able to get one way backlinks from your competitors but you can easily get that from those sites or blogs that are offering complimentary products or services. For instance, if your blog is on &#8216;How To Stay Away From Or reduce Personal Credit&#8217;, you can get quality one way backlinks from other blogs that are themed on issues such as &#8216;Personal Loan Experts, Personal Insurance, Tax Advisor, Personal Budgeting&#8217; and so on. You just have to be creative and search for other blogs that are offering some other services or products in your niche.</p>
<p>It is important that you get link backs from sites or blogs with the same niche as yours because they are the kinds of backlinks that are mostly valued by the search engines&#8217; algorithms. The question now is; what are the best ways of getting relevant one way backlinks?</p>
<p>You can get these quality and relevant backlinks by commenting on related blogs. All you have to do is determine the relevance of such blog and its page rankings. Create your account with your keyword-rich anchor text link as your signature and begin to add valuable comments in the posts.</p>
<p>You can also get valuable backlinks by writing and submitting articles to various articles directories online. This is because, there is an area where you will put the link to your site in any of such articles and if the contents are qualitatively unique, there are chances that it may go viral online carrying your link to any other related blog that chooses to republish it on the internet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is summer and you are planning for your perfect vacation since almost a year. You have saved up enough cash, but with the economic recession, you must be finding it hard to travel with frills. What you need is a perfect, summer getaway with sun, sand, beach along with world class shopping and five star dining and that too through a highly affordable package. What you need is travelling to Dubai, not only is it great fun but the attractions are innumerable. Ranging from scuba diving to visiting museums, desert safari to shopping the in best malls, Dubai has it all. If you are travelling with children you will find many attractions to pacify their excitement craving streak as well as your own.</p>
<p>Dubai is famous for shopping. So much so, that even the celebrities from Hollywood, prefer a touchdown in the great Arab city. There is the world famous Dubai Shopping Festival which attracts around 3.3. million visitors from all over the world and the number just keeps rising and rising with each passing year. In case you are thinking that taking children along is a bad idea then you are definitely mistaken, it is an enormous hit with the families because there are fun filled activities for the children. For adults, tax- free shopping is a lucrative deal and there are many exciting prizes to be won every day. These prizes vary from luxury cars to winning cash prizes. If you are going at a time when you have missed out the Dubai Shopping Festival you can most bask in the comforting glory of the Gold souk and let your eyes absorb all the man made wonders. Not only is it the best place to purchase gold of very good quality, you can also find myriad designs. The quality control is monitored by the UAE government. Here, you will find gold but platinum, diamonds and silver as well.</p>
<p>Shopping is a high on its own. Retail therapy is a wonderful thing, after that in order to strike an internal balance you might want to escape from the thronging crowds. The best solution would be to get away from the city into the desert on a camel or jeep safari, the ride can be of your choice depending upon how adventurous you feel at that particular moment. You choose from a range of activities, the most popular ones are sand skiing, dune or wadi driving. The experience will culminate with a desert, nocturnal picnic feast. The desert picnic feast involves eating as the night breeze caresses your cheek, under that star spangled sky, you will be served roasted lamb fresh of the fire and hubble bubble pipe. This makes the event, a rather exciting yet romantic one.</p>
<p>For those of you who want to keep their children entertained, you might want to see some exciting adventure parks. You can start out with Dubai Wonderland where you will find from relaxing to adrenaline pumping rides, to Wild Wadi, this is a popular water park situated near Jumeira Beach.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some website owners feel that they really don&#8217;t need to get an SEO services provider. This is mainly because there are tons of free stuff that you can get online that can provide you with optimization techniques and strategies. It&#8217;s about time you found out though that getting expert help still really makes a lot of good sense. There are some outstanding benefits to getting an expert on board.</p>
<p>Organized Campaign</p>
<p>The first advantage to having an expert handle optimization is that you end up with a far more organized campaign than if you did everything yourself. Sure, you can get loads of free information online about optimizing sites. Reading about countless strategies and pieces of advice however is like collecting shrapnel. Without the help of an SEO services company, you will end up having to pick up bits and pieces you can&#8217;t put together. You need an expert to help you stitch a coherent and organized campaign.</p>
<p>One crucial fact you should keep in mind is that the so-called experts out there who give you information don&#8217;t always agree when it comes to theories and strategies. This will make creating a clear campaign plan difficult for you especially if you aren&#8217;t passionate about optimization as a topic or area of concentration. You need one expert who eats this field of expertise for breakfast to give you one clear direction for optimizing your site.</p>
<p>Optimization Updates</p>
<p>Every good SEO services provider keeps up to date on the latest news about their field. This is another important reason to settle for an expert. Optimization is not a static field. It isn&#8217;t like history where you can keep on repeating the proven details of an event and never go wrong about your facts. Optimization keeps on evolving and if you aren&#8217;t in the know about the changes adopted by the big search engines, you will be left to bite the dust.</p>
<p>Get an expert on your side to make sure the techniques used on your site are in line with the latest developments. Consider for instance that the age-old method of article marketing is no longer the only top strategy to follow to rank sites. A good SEO services company would know better than to base a campaign solely on this method. Now, the trend is to add video and social marketing into the mix as well.</p>
<p>Direct Coaching</p>
<p>One more advantage of getting a specialist is direct coaching. Usually, when you research on your own, hundreds of questions pop up in your mind. You can spend hundreds of hours more trying to look for the answers to your questions or you can save time and just ask a seasoned practitioner instead. The insights that you get from a specialist might help you develop your own optimization skills and point you to the right direction in case you want to try your hand at optimizing your sites on your own in the future.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s easy to get lost in the virtual world without an SEO services provider to help you out. If you want an organized campaign that will work the first time you run it, you need to ask a specialist to lend you a hand.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="body">
<p>The end for the year 2010 is fast approaching. It may be an end to what has been a good year or a not so good year for your SEO business. You may have hit the big time this year, getting a lot of new clients, raking in the profits and enjoying the fruits of your labor. On the other hand, your company might not have done so well this year. Whatever happened this year, this is a good opportunity for you to look back and analyze where your company is right now. Take in what is good and throw away the bad. Further develop strategies that worked and learn from your mistakes. The good thing about a year that is about to end is that it also signals the beginning of another. A new year is a promise of another chance, a chance to do things better. So how should you prepare for the year 2011? Make a New Year&#8217;s resolution for your SEO Company.</p>
<p>With New Year&#8217;s resolution, what I really mean is a business goal. Every business should have a goal and your company should have one too. Behind this goal is a business plan. This is the perfect time to do it because it allows you to prepare for next year. What do you want to achieve? What do you plan to do? Where do you want to go? How do you plan to get there? What changes do you want to implement? These are all legitimate questions which can help you set your goal. Let us take a look at some important considerations which can be the basis of your business goal.</p>
<p><strong>Profit</strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s face it; businesses operate to earn a profit. That is the ultimate goal and you should not forget to put this into consideration. Having a clear view of how much you expect your company to earn within the next year gives you a basis. From this, you can more or less forecast how many new or existing clients you expect to do business with, how much you plan to earn from each client and what product you can offer each client to yield the desired results.</p>
<p><strong>Market Positioning</strong></p>
<p>Market positioning may mean a lot of things and in the world of SEO; it means a whole lot more. To be clear on what I&#8217;m trying to say, I&#8217;m referring to this term from the point-of-view of a marketer in general and not SEO or SEM specifically. Where do you want your company to be by the end of next year? The SEO industry is a saturated industry and the only way for your company to survive is if you develop a market plan. With this plan, you should put the following into consideration: Market Penetration, Market Development and Market Leadership.</p>
<p><strong>Growth</strong></p>
<p>You should also have a growth plan for your company. A successful business is a growing business.</p>
<p>These are just some of the possible considerations you can include in your business plan. In the end, it is really up to you. You have to set your own goal for your SEO business. Nobody else can set it for you. The important thing is that you enter the next year with a goal already established. That way, you give your company a direction and all efforts will contribute to the achievement of that goal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;ve heard it before: starting a business can be one of the most difficult yet rewarding things you will ever do. Considering these four responsibilities before you start a company will help minimize the difficulty and enhance the rewards.</p>
<p>* Product or Service Development. Every business starts with a core offering and builds the company around it. What is it that you want to present to the market? How long will it take to produce these goods or services? Will you need a manufacturer to help with production? Do you have the expertise to create whatever it is that you want to sell? If you produce a service, do you need a legal contract specifying the roles of your business and your clients?<br />
* Sales and Marketing. Once you have established your offering, you will need to price it for a profit and get the word out to your target market. How will you price your items? Do you want to differentiate your company by price or are there other ways to set yourself apart? Who will you sell to? How will you draw the attention of those consumers? Once they have expressed interest, how will you keep it? How will you develop relationships with clients?<br />
* Accounting. When clients begin paying you, you will need to keep records of each transaction. Do you have at least a minimal amount of knowledge related to spreadsheets and financial statements? How will you record your earnings and losses? How do you plan on filing and paying for taxes?<br />
* Customer Service. How will you handle customer complaints or service requests? Will you proactively reach out to customers from time to time to make sure they are satisfied with their purchases?</p>
<p>It takes a large amount of time to develop and perfect these functions. In his new book, Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell explains the theory that it takes 10,000 hours of immersion to become an expert in a given field, unless you are a genius in which case it will only take you 9,000 hours. I tend to agree with his point. That boils down to about 3.5 years of 8 hour days, 365 days a year. But, as an entrepreneur you will be working more than 8 hours a day, probably averaging around 12. That reduces the number of years to 2.28 &#8211; lets call it 2.75 with days off, etc. Interestingly, that is about the same amount of time it takes many entrepreneurs to start making money.</p>
<p>Before jumping ship from your current job, get a head start by considering these responsibilities. You&#8217;ll thank me for it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have a website or business you are likely wondering whether it is worth outsourcing your SEO work to an agency and just how easy it is to do yourself. This is a very good question.</p>
<p>There are some advantages of outsourcing your SEO work if you do it properly however in order to understand what is needed you need to learn about SEO yourself.</p>
<p>There are 2 areas to having your website ranking well. The first is the on-site factors which concern how your site is structured and where you place the most important words on your web pages.</p>
<p>The other area is SEO off-site, which is about the strategies you can use to get visibility for your content. There are right and wrong ways of doing this.</p>
<p>And underpinning both of the above is a good understanding of keyword research. There are many keyword research tools which you can use to find out what your customers are searching for, and they don&#8217;t cost you anything.</p>
<p>Many people still think that SEO is for &#8220;geeks&#8221; and web developers but actually it is more of a marketing skill. It is all about getting visibility for your product or services.</p>
<p>SEO is also not just about getting listed in the standard web results. You will have noticed on the first page of major search engines, there are also blog results, news results, local search results, product results, video results and more.</p>
<p>You can double or triple your visibility by tailoring your search campaign to target more than one channel.</p>
<p>Therefore to get good search visibility you need to do an SEO training course so you can either do the work yourself if you are up to it, or else to understand what you need to outsource.</p>
<p>You also have to be careful on outsourcing because if you get a person who does not know best practice, you can destroy your company image or brand.</p>
<p>There are a lot of companies which spam you about building 1000 links to your site for little money, but how you build your links is very important.</p>
<p>It is much better to get natural links developing and pointing into your site by the types of off-site SEO strategy you decide to implement, rather than pay someone for links.</p>
<p>So if you have spent a lot of money and time on your website it is a very good idea to get a basic SEO training.</p>
<p>If your business relies on online traffic then it is probably worth taking your knowledge to the next level by attending a SEO training workshop / event or by doing some training over webinar if you can&#8217;t make the event.</p>
<p>You can often get a lot more out of attending a search marketing workshop because you get the chance to ask questions about your own site, something you can&#8217;t usually get from an online SEO course.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://hikmatshah.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/yahoo3.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-316" title="yahoo" src="http://hikmatshah.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/yahoo3.jpg?w=162&#038;h=113" alt="" width="162" height="113" /></a></p>
<p>In 2009, it was announced that internet superpowers Microsoft and Yahoo would team up to become partners in the search engine business. Having received clearance from the United States Department of Justice and European Commission, the two companies are now focused on implementing the deal. Per the agreement, Yahoo will be using Microsoft&#8217;s Bing algorithm to power its search results and paid listings. How will this new partnership affect SEO strategy for small businesses? Of course, all this remains to be seen, but companies will certainly need to start optimizing with the coming changes in mind.</p>
<p>Double Your Pleasure</p>
<p>Because Yahoo and Bing will be using the same algorithm, it is very likely that websites will achieve the same results on both search engines. So if you are ranked on the first page of Yahoo, you will probably be ranked on the first page of Bing as well. The interesting factor is that Bing strives to make SEO much easier for businesses and webmasters. For example, there is currently a number of tools, guides, resources and forums available for those who want to specifically optimize for this search engine. While Google is dominating the market by far, Bing is currently a fast growing segment small businesses definitely want to target.</p>
<p>Greater Reach for Search Marketers</p>
<p>Yahoo using the Bing algorithm means that sponsored results of both search engines will be pulled from the MSN AdCenter, Microsofts answer to Google AdWords. If you have been reluctant to advertise with MSN or Yahoo due to neither of them having the volume of traffic Google generates, the potential of this new partnership may change your mind. Bing and Yahoo already control roughly 25% of the search market, so with the two combining forces, the reach of MSN AdCenter will expand considerably, which could make it very well worth your time.</p>
<p>The Bing Algorithm Matters</p>
<p>In a very short amount of time, Bing has proven to be an efficient search engine small businesses need to pay attention to. Internet searchers have taken notice, and this means companies need to prepare. While a different algorithm is involved, many of the optimization aspects remain the same. Therefore, a good way to approach would be simply focusing on the basics and best practices of SEO. This includes updating your content on a regular basis, properly targeting and using keywords, building quality links, and making use of all the optimization tools available to you.</p>
<p>At this point, many things remain unclear regarding the Microsoft and Yahoo search deal. Though a lot has been speculated, no one knows for sure just how identical the search results will be, or whether the combined search advertising model will experience any significant growing pains. One thing is for certain &#8211; it will have a huge impact on SEO and search engine marketing. For this reason, small businesses should pay close attention to the coming developments to see how things pan out.<a href="http://hikmatshah.wordpress.com/"><br />

<p>Google is without doubt the most popular search engine however is it the only source for online marketing and to carry out search engine optimization, or is there a competitor?<br />
Well, for those who do not know, SEO Baidu can be a good option depending on the kind of product or service that you are marketing. Baidu.com is the most preferred search engine in China and the popularity is increasing by the day. In case your website has anything to with the countries in south-east Asia, SEO Baidu can play a huge role in your online marketing strategy.<br />
Google is also used in these regions but in certain countries, like China, Baidu is visited more often which means that you can reach out to customers better through Baidu. This can be a reason to have your PPC on this search engine rather than Google because it is cheaper and more effective. In fact the price you might pay for SEO Google for a particular keyword may be more than PPC on the comparing search engine. This goes to tell you the returns on investment options and benefits.<br />
However, there is a word of caution, don&#8217;t switch your online marketing without enough research going behind the scenes. It is very important to know if you site requires inclusion of SEO Baidu in you online marketing strategy or SEO Google is good enough. While some websites might need one of them, there are others that can do with both.<br />
You need your SEO Company to analyze your requirements and as per that devise a strategy for you. While there can be a lot of aspects to consider before opting for an SEO strategy however you have to be sure that you have the right guidance to help you. A professional SEO India company would surely come handy because the professionals in India are quite acquainted to the southeast Asian as well as global internet mentality and user behavior thus enabling better results that can make a difference.<br />
To sum it up all you can be sure that Google is and at least for quite some time to come will remain the top most and preferred search engine however the competition rising from Baidu cannot be ignored. But as for now, Google is till date the major player in the search engine marketing domain.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SEO Article Writing is not about having the most recent stories in the latest editions of the local newspapers. You don&#8217;t need to be a big name pro to get your writings favored and recognized.</p>
<p>SEO Writing is now a SEO Marketing Tool. Learning to write SEO articles for external SEO back links might help improve your business.</p>
<p>The internet provides many outlets for any amount of writing talent. An &#8220;article&#8221; can mean anything from your blog, home pages for internet sites, entire website content, sales letters, and also real stories and articles or reviews for online publishers.</p>
<p>There is a few options when you write for the net. Each one of these have their own advantages for amateurs and pros alike.</p>
<p>Take a look at some sites where you can submit content totally free. These usually offer more added benefits, too. At the conclusion of your SEO article you should place a hyperlink to your own website for the readers to either get much more information or become a paying customers. You&#8217;ll be looked on as a possible expert about the subject. That is, naturally, a principal advantage of SEO article marketing.</p>
<p>As an example, if you&#8217;re a sports therapist you might like to write an article how athletes can reduce injuries when doing exercises. At the end of every article you must add your bio and a link to your website. Your ultimate goal, of course, is to get exposure as being an expert in your field, and obtain customers as they flock to your website.</p>
<p>Other web sites do pay you. You might be able to obtain byline, and you may be able to add a connection to your internet site, although others will not permit that. Each of them differ from one another.</p>
<p>Very few people get wealthy writing. Even Edgar Allen Poe died a bitter broke man. With SEO article writing, it&#8217;s pertaining to marketing yourself as well as your business. Even though it&#8217;s not your personal business.</p>
<p>With the invention of internet based email came the thinking behind viral marketing. Hotmail was the very first to put ads on the bottom of each email sent utilizing their service. The theory caught on. Now, everyone that has anything to sell or promote should add links to every email they send.</p>
<p>Anyone can do this. Are you a stock broker? Hair stylist? Computer repair tech? There&#8217;s nothing like adding external links on your emails with either special promotions or a backlink to your website.</p>
