Choosing an SEO Service Provider

February 24th, 2010

Search engine optimization-it’s every web masters most time consuming, on-going job. Simply keeping up with the latest search engine algorithms is a full-time job, let alone writing content to match. Link building and social networking can also be full-time jobs. When SEO takes a back seat to other web master jobs, it’s time to find a company to provide SEO services. After all, what good is a beautifully designed website if no one visits it?

SEO services come in many forms. The best SEO packages combine continually updated fresh content with link building services. Not all SEO services are created equal. Finding the best SEO packages takes time, but it is time well spent. Look for a company that can provide fresh content, not re-printed articles that are already plastered across the Internet. Link building practices should be closely examined as well. Links should come from relevant sites with a PR3 or better. Links from unrelated websites tend to look unnatural and do not really help much.

Last, look for an SEO service provider that specializes in your area. If you have a health or medical related website, look for a Medical SEO company. A Medical SEO company will know exactly where to place contextual links in order to optimize their importance to search engines. Why settle for anything less than a specialist for a medical related website?

When Google Local Gets it Wrong

March 1st, 2010

Now, don’t get me wrong. Google Local and Google Maps are extremely valuable tools that I use a few times every week. But every so often they get something wrong–so wrong, in fact, that I’m not sure where the wires got crossed

Hey! Editors! Leave Them Links Alone!

February 26th, 2010

There’s a trend of editors in the SEO world uptight about linking out. A friend in the industry who guest blogs recently told me that he was told by his editor he couldn’t promise links to contributors who participated in guest interviews. Others have been seeing the same, and writers I work with have seen their editors take forever about updating bios [with the attendant links] … WTF?
