Gotta admit, I’m TOTALLY addicted to this web forum!!

Digital Point Forums is by far the best place to get free help and low prices for all webmaster needs. I just purchase a web directory for $40 BIN (buy it now). And it’s a PR1 with about 200 websites already listed. I had my eye on 2 others before I grabbed this one; probably best to start with a super low priced site. The other one was a smackin’ deal, too: a PR4 directory with 4,000 listings, AdSense, and a small revenue for $249 BIN. You can’t make a website for that let alone market it to be grow to this size!

Right now, as I write this post, I’m downloading 28,000 Wallpapers I purchased for seven bucks. Total file size is 2.84GB, downloaded from 3 800MB zip files.

And if you have a problem with coding, HTML, CSS, SEO, or anything related to webmastering, you’re likely to get help within the hour. They also feature a “Review Websites” spot where you can get members advice on your own website. All members have to post 10 times there before being able to use the better features of this forum.

Need to buy/sell web services? Go here 1st! You can find super prices (and freebies!) for programming, web design (Web Design by Steve included), link and traffic purchasing, content creation, and more.

But can these member services be trusted?? This is up to you; there is no control on quality. But you can get a good evaluation of the goods/service providers/buyers by viewing the feedback from other customers/sellers. Just click on their iTrader link.

Now for the super addictive function of this web forum: on the top navigation is a link, “Fun Stuff.” On the drop-down click on “Spy.” This takes you to a page that continuously loads with all new postings and listings. You can be the 1st one there to grab the deal you’re looking for.

… but maybe this is bad advice: you’ll likely get as addicted to this as I am!

From: Directory Maximizer
Getting top SERP (search engine results position): no one can be really sure just what it takes. There are SO MANY things you need to implement. But it is known fact that all search engines value the importance of links. Can it be all that simple to use a directory submission service? Read more…

SEO: Search engine optimization -techniques that enable your site to appear higher in a list of search engine results.
SEM: Search engine marketing - the practice of marketing and advertising through the search engines.
SEP: Search engine placement.
SERP: Search engine result page - this is the position you web page gets in a search engine.

FACTS:

• There are 300 million searches carried out every single day.
• A great website with great SEO/SEM is a powerful combination.
• Most web design companies do not optimize for search engines.
• Most SEO companies do not design websites.
• If your website was build prior to 2004, chances are that it is not optimized or needs new optimization.
• SEO is not and will never be an exact science.

Even though webmasters are getting search engine optimization services, there is still a lot of misunderstandings:

• How can I get on Google front page?
• Who can I go to that will bring me valid results?
• Should I go with a company that guarantees results?
• How much will it cost me?
• Do I need an ongoing, continuous SEO service?
• Is it possible for anyone to get Google front page?
• Will I need to re-design my website?

Getting on Google front page (in the top ten organic results) is actually a simple task for professional SEO companies. But what you have to realize is that many of these companies will optimize for irrelevant or uncommon search terms. Some will guarantee Google front page but actually mean within the first 100 results (a user’s search option).

So, what if you’re on Google front page for a term that returns 2,000 results? And what if the search terms are don’t properly represent the product you offer? What type of return will you be getting?

I’ve seen many SEO companies that guarantee Google front page and was always leery of such a statement. Then today I entered the search term, “guaranteed Google front page” (without quotes), and could not find one legitimate company (on page one) actually offering this.

You also need to be aware of Google personalized search. When you are logged in to your Google account, you will receive personalized searches. This means that your searches will be modified by your search history - not displaying what everyone else necessarily sees.

What you need is a company that will allow you to see it happen before you pay in full.

SEO services are usually sold as an ongoing continuous service. I can see this as being valuable, as you wouldn’t like to one day wake up and notice your site dropped to page 147. But I offer an alternative where changes are made only if it is necessary. And this is the SEO service I offer all of my clients, included in all new design work.

For an initial website search engine optimization, I have been charging $500 or less, depending on how many pages you need done. But from the big SEO companies you can expect to dish out between $3.00 to $6.00 PER DAY … and then some. With a required one year contract, this represents a minimum of $1095.

How do I know when it’s necessary to re-optimize my website?

Through the free services offered at sheerseo.com. At Sheer SEO, you list all of the keywords you are targeting along with the web pages you want to keep track of, and whenever there is a change in SERP’s, you will get an email notification. They also supply a chart showing the history of each key-phrase/keyword.

But not all websites can be SE optimized. A few examples:
Websites that are incomplete or display “Under Construction”
Affiliate program sites (you do not have access to alter these)
Google AdSense sites (has 3 or more AdSense displays)
Sites that contain nothing more than links to third party websites.

Often it’s required to redesign or at least add more content to the web page being optimized, especially if the text is inside of an image. This is why you should use a designer that also optimizes for search positioning.

For an outstanding web design with SEO, I charge around $600 for up to five pages and $800 for ten. For SEO added to an existing website, the rate is between $200 and $500 for up to ten pages … another reason to use a designer that includes SE optimization.

I also offer link building campaigns and marketing services.

Defining What is Displayed

What’s it all about when you view search results? Where does the content displayed come from? Is it from the website being displayed? Is it meta-data?

 

 

Matt talks about the anatomy of a search result, and gives some useful tips on how you can help improve how your site appears in our results pages. This talk covers everything you’ll see in a search result, including page title, page description, and sitelinks, and explains those other elements that can appear, such as stock quotes, cached pages links, and more.

Take a view at this video and see. You’re bound to learn something here, as I did also.
