Building traffic is the ultimate goal with any SEO activity. Hands down- optimizing for a particular keyword is designed to gather as many visitors from as high up on the Results Page as possible.The side-kick to SEO is gathering Links.

Each formatting language has a distinctive characteristic that sets it apart from the rest, hence why designers prefer the visual stunning of Flash, and us SEO enthusiasts enjoy HTML/CSS for its inherent ability to control text.Using Ruby to build pages has with it a few issues with setting a style sheet (.erb) and modifying individual pages' meta descriptions, keywords and title.

Another development via Wordpress.com is their new usage of content to deliver "instant findability" once a new post is published.From what I can gather this would work something like this-Write your articleUse your content to relate to the topic/idea at handPublish articleUser will search for a term contained in your article/titleYour result is on top- near top.In the Wordpress blog they quote:

Last night at the new venue for WebWednesday HK, the diginerds in Hong Kong were graced with the presence of Matt Mullenweg (apologies for last night's tweet "Matt W"), founding developer of the Open Source blogging platform Wordpress. The night was hosted in Volar, giving what MC Napoleon Biggs says is "the only time you will be here unless you are a model or millionaire."That aside, it was

While analyzing a client's page for optimization, I noticed a large amount of traffic coming from China. Great news! Since this company is focusing on development in the Chinese market- traffic already coming in can't hurt. Or can it?As a popular topic discussed frequently by SEO's around the world, optimization of keywords is highly important, but when does that optimization become a

First off I want to state how I value certain analytic values. Traffic is a great indicator of overall site importance, and how SEO is working to bring in new traffic. I don't think that is much contested. However, for purposes of on-site sales and user registrations to build up a community different metrics are of a higher priority.Utilizing the 'Average time on site', 'Average Pages per

Every Monday is the same routine: Check media outlet statistics and traffic, automate some content to be delivered, and go over the heaps of data from the weekend with a fine comb.Why today's Monday was so different is because I was writing a program to automate the competitive ranking of a chosen keyword- then relate it to the current client page that is focusing on that keyword. Confused? Me

Previous digital marketing initiatives included email 'bombs' and paid banners for promotion and dissemination of hot deals. Now companies are utilizing the ease of web media to reach customers in real-time. Corporate examples of this in action: Dell Computers using Twitter to reach $1 million in new computer sales. By posting a deal on their Twitter account, they were able to pinpoint their

Recently during some modifications to Frenzoo's marketing push, we ran a few research tests to determine what drives user content in their industry of online games. We built a few blogs and websites to help gauge what keywords were important for us to focus on. The surprising result was that one of our blogs, and one of the static sites achieved page one rankings within a week! And neither

Typing 'SEO' into any search engine will give you hundreds of millions of results. Typing in 'Earth' will return a similar number (give or take a few million). I would say that one is more important than the other, but for argument sake we will consider them both equal. Part of owning a business is making sure that the business is seen by others. Since the beginning of civilization, our
