PPC Myths and Truths

1. PPC is only short-term until organic rankings arrive – Pay per click can integrate with your SEO campaign. Test and measure individual and aggregate campaign data – If the PPC campaign delivers the right ROI then why stop?

I think this one is clever myth. Why stop what’s working.  If you can sustain the PPC budget then you should be all means. If you can find a cheaper and better way to gain the same ROI then you should seek out those. I do understand that there are short-term benefits to PPC. It’s the fastest way to the top of those SERP’s for your keywords.  With a little effort and time the same results can happen.

2. PPC has a bearing on natural rankings – No, no, no. It doesn’t. The javacript does not act as anchor text!

This one I had not even thought of. I would think that this is something that a dimwitted marketer would tell a client to get them to buy into PPC…

3. Adwords / Yahoo! / adCenter hates me – Maybe, but before complaining and going completely mad, make sure you read the help center. I mean r-e-a-l-l-y read it.

This myth is funny to me. It like reading the instructions to building that bicycle after struggling for hours… You need to understand that each of these companies offer and have different rules and regulations. You need to understand how each works to benefit your ad campaign,

 

Again like all campaigns you will get what you give. If you do the research for your campaign then there is no doubt it will be successful.

 

 

 

SEO for Blogging!!

For this weeks post I “Newbie Blogger” for FS SEO Consultants have been asked to tell you my “Audience” the in and outs of SEO for Blogging. Well Blogging and SEO are no secret to me. I still find it somewhat difficult to show my readers my passion in my writing. So bear with me, we will get though this and you will have a better understand in the end. I promise!

So SEO in general is the way one would organize online content for proper distribution. It’s taken keywords from any niche market and adding them to your site, so when Google’s little spiders crawl your page. They take notice and then make note and drive the traffic to your site. SEO for blogging has a more social aspect of it.

It also involves link building. Link building involves networking. Just like networking, we want to be networked with those that are influential, right? When you build links with trusted and strong links you add value to your site. There are also many more strategies to SEO to make sure you are able to target your audience.

Ok, so I pretty much told you already that SEO is to help YOU target your audience. But also it there to make sure YOUR audience finds YOU. So you see it works both ways. It’s like creating a directory for your site on the Internet. We create a sort of table of contents for the Search Engines. And then the Search Engines decide based upon relevance and authority where to rank you in the SERP’s.

So to help make sure your Blogs content is feasibly searchable. You need to organize it first. You need to tell those all those Search Engines what your content is and where it is and always make sure to highlight you brightest content. That is you need to make best use of what’s working for your Blog. Tag all your items and pages. Make sure to do the Keyword research and put those keywords in your titles and headings.

Most of all you need to create content that asks your readers to interact with you Blog. Search Engines react in regard to content being adding to sites. So a blog with content being added daily will rank higher then those that sit idle for months or weeks.

Beyond the traditional ways of SEO. You know have Social Networks. Facebook, Twitter and other like LinkedIn. Allow for you to optimize in new ways. We now can show proof of how great your product is. Allowing Social Networks to build strength in your blog.

So with that I hope you now have a better understanding of How Blogging and SEO mix. If not tell me below!!! Wink!! Wink!!

Little Kid plays Jason Mraz – I’m Yours

Ok so who says you need to be able to sing. To have a top video in the charts. Just be cute! But yeah so check out this little tike he straight shreds this guitar and even has some good humming going on. Just thinking about how happy he is doing all this got me thinking. What other things make you feel happy when you do them wither your really good at it or not?

Hey so whats up with live?

Recently i have began to see that msn is putting general news stories on video marketplace. So… idk, its different i had never once thought to my self while on dashboard wondering why a kid has over 50 needles inside of him…What???? Yeah, stories like that and Tiger Woods (go figure) and other things also. Now there has always been gaming news on Live, but that would be normal for a video game console.

But then i think maybe I’m just fortunate enough to have a laptop to check the news… An Xbox 360 maybe the only Internet platform that some may have. So i welcome the news to my Xbox… And so I feel very thankful for my family and fortunate enough to have the support of my family. So with this inspiration i search the web and found some interesting moments on Halo 3 and MW2.

5. Wow better duck…

4. Ummm ok…

3. Can you say, No Scope!?

Where’s the Petrol??? -no gamer content-

I just read something and i feel everyone else should no… Nearly 17 million gallons of gas are split every year filling up our lawn mowers every year. Yeah I’m sure your jaw dropped just as fast as mine did. I shake the damn handle at the gas pump just to get every drop out of the bad boy… So in honor of the lack of carefulness I have come up with some numbers!!!

The average gallon of gas is at $2.59 right now so that would equal about a little over 44 million dollars. I have over 150K miles on my car right now that’s about the average life of a car… So, with the price of a gallon of gas and taken in to the account of how many miles of gas my car gets. My car has used about 6521 gallons of gas so far in its life. That equals roughly 16,889 dollars in just over 9yrs. Now 9 years is just about the average age of a vehicle on the road right now. So with that 17 million gallons of gas split every year carelessly at whim we could have fueled over 2,600 vehicles for 9 years or over the life of them. Or 23,400 cars for a whole year so think about this next year when you’re mowing
your lawns….

The old days…

What a good weekend. Got quite a bit gaming in. Had a unexpected NCAA 10 tournament at my house. Had 6 players, 2 t.v.’s, 1 champ… So we ran 3 min quarters with winner advancing to next round. Championship game was #1 Florida vs #6 Ohio State with the Gators crushing the Buckeyes. But nothing as crazy as this. But ended up the night playing MW2 and have a good night. Best game of the night was 35-6 it reminded me of this guy. So i see lot of games coming out that have that old feel to them the new Super Mario?? Younger kids have no idea what anyone born before 1995 have gone through… I still remember grandstanding in one of my favorite NES games Excitebike… What was your favorite old-school game???

Message from Microsoft…

I received an e-mail from Microsoft today telling me that they just received my console. Well ok considering i sent it out over a week and half ago thats not to bad. But thing is they had it on Monday. I received an e-mail from UPS saying the package was delivered on Monday. I also received a reference number from Microsoft to look up my repair status… I did so on Tuesday and after searching it stated that my repair was underway as of Tuesday. So which is it did they get it today or did they start the repair today? Just makes me wonder why with such a large company that has been dealing with recal can’t get their stuff together….
