Black Hat SEO/PPC Really Bad For Your Website?

Overnight success on Search Engine Optimization are best demonstrated in those Fly-By-The-Night pharmacies on internet. If you have previously requested a quote for your website's SEO, you would be knowing better that Internet Marketing Experts call SEO as a patient process.

It is frustrating for both the Service provider as well as buyer to bear the Search Engine's Latency in digesting SEO efforts to propel websites on internet. For the ones who don't like to wait, Black Hat SEO is the way!

So what kind of websites go ahead opting for Black Hat SEO? Mostly Online Pharmacy Affiliate Webstores, Lead Gen Websites from Mortgage & Loan realm use Black Hat SEO to go fly overnight and then end up getting their domains slapped. Switching on to another domain, cashing it out and then another one.

Google has been fighting the spam microsite issue that plagues its Search Engine Result Pages frequently. Whether Black Hat SEO is good or bad, depends on ones perspective and business needs. Black Hat realm has a few aspects which are detested globally.

For instance, some Black Hatters use SQL injection trick to place their links on high PR websites which would otherwise not allow links to these websites. (per Google's Webmaster Guidelines). Its a coding issue which is inherent in Wordpress weblogs where 'comment's section' is exploited and feasted upon by Black Hat SEO experts. To fight this, most of the blogs now allow 'No Follow' links only which restrict link juice to flow to these fly-by-night websites.

A live example of Black Hat SEO can be seen on the following Google's Irish Search Engine Result Pages.

Personally, I have no hard feelings for BlackHat SEO or BlackHat PPC until it goes out of the way to hurt other's websites or hampers web surfing experience. Safe Black Hat is an aspect which is now termed as Gray Hat SEO or Gray Hat PPC.

Link Building is probably the most profiting aspect of Internet Marketing. Almost 40% of world's Link Building work is carried out in India & China.

As I look at Link building, its Google's MLM strategy where websites compete with each other to have the maximum links to them. Google claims that Link Building is the only way how its search engine can decide which websites are legit enough to climb on top of its ladder for the respective keywords. No denying the fact that there is nothing else you can do to get your website on the top of Google for your Business Keywords. (The Golden Spot!)

Bing's Edge Over Google - Ties Up With Twitter & Facebook

Microsoft's Qi Lu announced yesterday at Web2.0 summit in San Francisco that Bing has finally made a deal with Facebook & Twitter to show real time status and updates in its Search Results. Definetely a smack too hard in G's gut?

Rumors were that Twitter was trying to have a deal with Google and Microsoft since past few months. But then yesterday at Web 2.0 summit, Bing took an edge over Google by being a pro in giving vantage to Microblogging in its Organic Search Engine Results.

Though Twitter - the mega microblogging tool is way less populated than Facebook, it indicated shooting off a Real Time Search Engine by geling in an Algorithmic Search Engine in Twitter's user's interface.

Facebook, as we know it from years ago - a temple of Social Networking - used to keep all its traffic activity behind a secured login wall. But off late the Facebook Posts along with Events pages have started floating in Googlosphere. A clear indication that how Twitter and Facebook were throughout tilling to be a part of Search Engine Traffic share.

For Internet Marketing Experts, definition of SEO and Social Media Optimization would change as now for optimizing a website they would definetely also need to have good Twitter and Facebook activity for boosting a website's SEO on Bing!

To interpret better, whilst searching for a keyword like "SMX conference" you will also find tweets and facebook status updates speaking about "SMX" showing up on Bing search results.

This partnership should defientely put some good pressure on Google as it is a clear indicaton that Google's search index would lack real-time information.

Now the question is WHY DID GOOGLE NOT TAKE ITS INITIATIVE?

To me, it seems, Google still wants to see its sacred organic results undiluted and trusts its algorithm better than Social Networking veto to a web load of information.

Off the topic, Facebook has also started showing up Bing's ads. This is a clear indication how cordical the Facebook and Bing relationships are. Facebook is next most popular search keyword after "Porn" on internet and the traffic on Facebook is unmatched. Bing would have definetely gone an extra mile to get that valuable E-space off Facebook's traffic basket.

Bottom Line? Microsoft still has a long road ahead to catch up with Google. We can only keep our finger's crossed that Bing's algorithm would be mathamatically and analogically well programmed to identify which information snippets to pull out from Twitter & Facebook. In saying this, its a fact that Rumor's and Misinterpreted information soaps are a necessary part of Tweets which makes its digital enviornment very virally chatty!

NetApplications and StatCounter later yesterday announced that still Google sits atop with 84% of the Search Engine Market share. Only the time will tell if Google would consider allowing Social Networking updates in its Search Results.

Within minutes of your ad campaign setup, you can see the clicks on your ads making cash for you and if you have your goal conversion funnel set right, you can track it well too.

Before we actually talk money, let us review an important issue which 'bugs' most of the affiliates - Getting there ads approved. Google adwords has strict guidelines for the affiliates who are looking to use PPC for promoting there pharmacy affiliate websites. The major problem ofcourse is getting ads approved.

When you are setting up an adgroup for your pharmacy affiliate program, you are prompted by Google to enter a Pharmacy checker ID. However, do you think that all the ads running on Google have a pharmacy checker ready? Lets go hush-hush and try searching for a few keywords ourselves and then click on a few ads to see what the real scene is like?

You'd be amazed to see that how smart keyword research and a few landing page tweaks are being used by smart PPC experts to promote their pharmacy programs via a PPC campaign. We also did a post earlier on how Pharmacy affiliates make MEGA $$$ using a PPC campaign and it got us a lot of inquiries from PPC campaigners, inquiring regarding bypassing Pharmacy checker ID? ;)

As for the Clickbank affliates. Though a Clickbank PPC setup doesn't deals with issue of a pharmacy checker ID etc, Clickbank affiliates also find it tough and struggle to have their ads approved because of the fact that most affiliates use the same landing page provided by the Clickbank vendors. As a result Clickbank affliates trying to use PPC campaign get Google slapped first hand.

Search Engine Reputation Management To Remove Bad Press

Search Engines Result Pages have an undeniable impact on your business and branding. Google has evolved as a powerful tool to find people and there businesses. If you do not remember whats your neighborhood laundry's phone number, you would immediately wire your laptop and search for its name and number on Google.

Web 2.0 and Blogosphere evolution has given enough power in the hands of every single netizen to express themselves. When this Web 2.0 element intersects with the Search Engine's far and wide reach it is inevitable that any page on forums and blogs remains uncached. This is where Search Engine Reputation Management comes into play.

Search Engine Reputation Management calls for an immediate plan of action to remove the negative bandwagons from the internet which threaten your online identity. This is not an overnight process but calls for ongoing hammering to outrace the negative links on the Search Engines.

In real world, people forget what they read in newspapers or watched on TV an year ago but internet it stays right there and becomes more authoritative if you dont take urgent action and impelement a Search Engine Reputation Management campaign. Sometimes, these negative search engine results move ahead of the original business websites which should ideally be ranking on # 1 position of Search Engines for the exact business keyword search. Nothing but poor SEO is to be blamed if such a condition arises.

It is not easy to remove bad press from the Search Engines because it doesn't just goes away. It calls for creating a lot of positive web pages and content and promoting them such that they are optimized to achieve top page ranks on Google. Sometimes while following Search Engine Reputation Management, there is an equal and opposite resistance from the opposite side too. There are times when while trying to remove the negative Search Engine Results your competitors also try competing on the same keywords to malign your brand by promoting the negative URLs by following one way link building for these negative URLs on the Search Engines.

Search Engine Reputation Management calls for time and well planned implementation. The biggest issue that we face in this whole scenario is managing client's expectations and tackling the search engine heat at the same time. We work under the radar and ensure that the quality results are delivered per the competition verticals on Search Engines.

Does Your Website Need Help With Its Conversion Rate?

99% Internet Marketers out there feel that they have a great product showcased on there website and there is no reason why they wont sell. Being optimistic is good for any internet startup's marketing. However, if you have a website, on which you have spent thousand of bucks, ensuring that you secure a top 10 position for your business keyword on the Search Engines and still aching to get a decent conversion rate for your website. There must be something wrong with the basics of your website's marketing punch. What could it be? Ask yourself this question. Its not people turning cruel to your services or products. It might just be that the wrapping that you are using terribly needs a change.

You are done with your Search Engine Optimization and now this is the time to consider Conversion Rate Optimization. (A term I cooked while writing this post). Yes! Thats what I am talking about, Conversion Rate Optimization. While you feel you have a great product or service to market to the people you are still note able to pass the USP to your audience.

Its like having your billboard up in Manhattan with an ebony model sporting a whiteness cream. Would you buy it? No you wont! You'd rather shun it for life. Wont you? I bet you would. Anybody would. Remember - Your prospective customers (the audience arriving on your website through top search engine ranks) are very very industry oriented. So get your basics right.

It makes sense to have a website setup with Google Analytics Conversion System. Google Analytics is an online marketers X-Ray-Goggles to help him see better where and how the traffic behaves on the website. You can see how strong your website's USP is by using Google Analytics. If you see a high bounce rate on your website, its about time that you give your website an oil change. Consider a redesign consultancy to boost your conversion rate.

You'd not like it if people land up on your website and you find them asking is it a Jewelry website or an Online Tomato Shop? Your website is your style statement where you can make sure that your devilish creative side is mischiefing at its best while having your eye on the bull. The conversions! Having a website redesigned to ensure that you sell would definitely require a professional redesign consultancy. Here are a few questions that we consider while redesigning a website to improve its conversion rate:-

• Can this website sell without a redesign?
• How much would a redesign effect the conversion rate of this website?
• What cost is anticipated while redesigning this website? What timeframe?
• Who is going to visit this website? (USP identification)
• What is the audience trying to achieve by visiting this website? (call to action identification)
• What action does webmaster want the audience to take once they arrive on the website? (Eye On Conversion!)

Your website is a platform from where you communicate with your audience and woo them to earn your conversions. It is not a land of hypnotizia where you throw your products at them and force them to buy your things. Having a website like latter, would be like letting the technology take over a mortal arriving on your website, which ofcourse would never happen. Probably by now you know how badly your website needs a redesign and what is it lacking in terms of marketing punch, which could get your conversion rates booming to new heights.

It is also very important that you have a good copy on your website too. Writing a copy that sells is an art and only a professional content writer would know how to write a copy that echo's with your audience's market conscience. 

Frankly speaking there is no magic stick to conversion rate optimization. It takes lot of trial, error and refixing to get a website that sells. So if you have a website which is not selling well, seek a website redesign consultancy but dont expect it to become an Ebay in a months work.

It takes time and ongoing efforts to bake accountability into the very fabric of your website. Thats what a professional redesign consultancy could do to your website's conversion rate.

We aim at allowing webmasters to have a better insight into there website's performance and to make them understand how our professional website redesign consultancy would help them improve website's conversion rates. The best part is that along with redesigning your website for having a good conversion rate, we will also help you have a strong on page search engine optimized website. 

In case, you are able to answer the questions mentioned above, yourself and if you have played an important role in getting your website designed for your business, it would mean walking away from a redesign project. All you need in this case is a little touch up here and there and then your website should be going good.

So if you are seeking to improve your website's conversion rate or need help with improving your website's marketing punch, feel free to drop us a line or two via our blog contact form. We would be more than happy to take it from there for you.

Assorted Hand Picked One Way Link Building To Boost Your Business

If you are looking to boost your website's ranks to get your business billboard beaming in the Vegas Of Google (Top 10 Search Engine Result Pages Of Google), then perhaps you need to start with getting your website an effective One Way Link Building Package.

The fact - you know that your audience wound not pain there fingers by clicking beyond the 3rd page of Google to buy / search for any service or products that they are Googling for. There are only a few quality Link Building Service Providers who guarantee that there links will certainly add mileage to the ranks of your keywords on Search Engine Result Pages. Why? Because they are probably busy 'selling' links quantitatively and not qualitatively.

Also, there are several link farms and link selling websites which offer cheap links for business websites. We have had clients who end up getting there more than a decade old, online business sacked by Google because they choose these online websites to get there websites a one way link building service. What they forget is that, there is a huge difference betwen - one way link building and effective one way link building.

One way link building is only good when it is carried out manually from relevant websites. It is very easy to have a bot finding websites and posting link of your website to a pre-feeded set of websites which are remotely related to your business niche. The relevance of links, however, can only come up and will only boost your website ranks if the websites belong to your niche and follows webmaster's one way link building guidelines.Quality link building services calls for a bit more time than automated link building, however the one way links that are prepared manually are long lived and they ensure that your website gets the SEO mileage you have been seeking in-lieu of a one way link building package.

Some basic guidelines that we follow, in offering our one way link building services are as follows:-


Link Age - We make sure that the links fly out of the websites which are relevant have good organic value. Our proprietary link building techniques have evolved over the age and we understand that the age of the website plays an important role. Hence, this is the first and foremost factor that we consider in our one way link building services.

Relevancy Of The Links - All the links come out of the website which are relevant and belong to your niche. So if you are a mortgage businessman, we make sure that the one way link building is carried out from the related mortgage and finance related websites only.

Page Rank - The well known one way link building parameter. Page Ranks is the quality benchmark for a website which is being used to fetch you one way links. I blogged about Google's Page Rank parameter earlier and also mentioned Why It Is Important.

Class C IP - Ugh! Are we going too technical here? I guess we are, but yes, this is an important parameter again which must be explained so that you have complete knowledge of classic one way link building practices. Class C IP is the 3rd octet of a website's IP address. Whenever you receive links to your website from a one way link building campaign make sure that your link building service provider is NOT B.S.ing you with links coming from the same Class C IP. Such links are not going to do any good to your website and once tracked by Google, will lead to a Google Slap! How to do this? Use this tool handy! :D

No Follow Tag - Imagine buying your coke can having no vent in it? No follow tag is a similar coke can. If you have links that you are coming your way with a "no follow" attribute, you are again not going to benefit from such one way link building. I have discussed No Follow tag in more detail, earlier.

Link Farms and Link Spamming are a strict no-no! After you are done with a one way link building for your website, do make sure that the links that you have got fulfill the above basic criterion of ethical one way link building services.

Please feel free to contact us, if you are looking to buy a one way link building package for your website or if you are interested in syndicating with us for one way link building services. Our business executives will get back to you asap. Cheers!
