The Affordable SEO Guide

admin — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 18:07:57 +0000

Over the next few weeks, I will be delivering a fairly long and dragged out introduction to the SEO basics for those who are either SEO Experts, those who are new to SEO, or those who are simply looking to touch up on their SEO.

Purposefully, I will be dragging this one out. You see, my realization is that you can not learn something as complex as SEO within a matter of a day, it is something that you need to drip and work with, and the only way that you can succeed with your own SEO efforts is with time. And lots of it.

Affordable SEO Package Keyword Research 101

admin — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 05:19:35 +0000

Let me be as upfront about this as I possibly can. A long time ago before Affordable SEO Package was even a thought in my mind, keyword research was not a huge problem for me. Not at all. Much later on, I found out that the reason for my “assumption” was because I was not doing it right, and as a direct result of not researching keywords properly, my search engine results suffered terribly. Now I am here at Affordable SEO Package trying to teach you how to avoid what I went through. How ironic!

From my past experiences, keywords were too broad, too many long tail keywords, and I was also selecting keywords that were already heavily dominated in the search engines that would either take far too long to even begin to dominate, or were just not profitable at all.

Keyword Research is always the beginning of your project, it is what will not only define your site content, but most importantly, the kind of visitor that you are wanting to attract to your website. And these keywords can determine anything from site content, to whether your users are readers or buyers. Keywords are simply that powerful!

One mistake that I see far too often is that people just randomly pick a topic and try and work with it. Bad move!

Let’s say that Joe, who is a fanatic for Hiking, and loves to travel the Tasmanian South West Wilderness (If you haven’t seen that place yet, you must see it sometime, it is amazing!). Joe would like to create a website about his travels, so as he is in a hurry, he chooses the keyword “South West Tasmania” and works around that.

Can you see the problem here? Well, for one, it is a very broad keyword. In South West Tasmania, there is a lot to see, there are wineries, snow fields, waterfalls, old rustic townships, and some of the most rugged terrain that you have ever seen. If someone found Joe’s website in Google, they may be looking for wineries, but have instead found a website detailing his travels along the Western Arthur Range. By the way, if you havent seen South West Tasmania yet, believe me, its worth it!

There are plenty of tools available out there that will allow you to do good keyword research. On the free side, you have Google AdWords Keyword Research Tool, which although it is not highly detailed, it is handy to see what kind of competition there is amongst keywords, and what kind of demand there is for a certain keyword in the search engines. I personally don’t use this tool as it is not anywhere near as detailed for my needs.

On the other hand you have tools such as Market Samurai which offers an up to date examination of keywords and their popularity. There is also “Brainstorm It” which is included in the Site Build It (SBI!) package, which is second to none in comparison of keyword research, giving accurate and up to date results for keyword popularity, keyword demand and profitability. Tools like these do indeed make keyword selection a bit harder (as a lot more thought is involved when you know what you are up against), however the efforts do not come without reward. There is no chance competing in a niche if you can’t balance the time and effort that you want to put into dominating your niche.

Some resources for you with relation to Keyword Research:

Site Build It – Contains the Brainstorm It Tool, plus other researching training material and resources

Market Samurai - Dedicated keyword research tool. Free trial version available, software is pricey but is very worthwhile.

Google Keywords Tool – Free service provided from Google Effective for very basic keyword research, but extremely limited information to work with.

As always, if you have anything to add in relation to Keyword Research, just comment below, and I will look into it. You can also join the mailing list for more regular info on topics such as these!

Good luck!

The Affordable SEO Package guide to Article Marketing

admin — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 07:16:33 +0000

At Affordable SEO Package, we like to stress that the strengths of Article Marketing are very clear. A brief note for those who are reading who aren’t already looking into article marketing, you need to read this post!

What is article marketing?

Article marketing is when a webmaster will create their own articles for public release and republishing on article directory websites. From these websites, other webmasters, or those in need of content, will re-use these articles on their own websites or newsletters, and as a condition of use, they will include the authors credit text.

Of course, this can work as a benefit to you in many ways. First and foremost, every article that you publish on an article directory will gain you one quite strong backlink. You can also use anchor text in your links, which will work great for the spiders and bots when associating keywords to your website. Third benefit is that as your article is distributed to many other websites, your backlink will remain intact, thus giving you an unlimited number of backlinks to your website.

This is great news right? Well, it doesn’t stop there. There are even more benefits to article marketing, some that not even the more experienced SEO enthusiasts aren’t entirely aware of.

Content Distribution services such as Content Spooling Network offer an article spinning service to their members. Article spinning is basically the process of spinning an article many different ways, as to avoid the duplicate content filter. Pretty self-explanatory, however, services such as Content Distribution Network don’t just automatically distribute to other article directories, but they also distribute to others within their network. Being that others on their network are experienced article marketers, the benefit here is plain and simple. You obtain more backlinks. Not simple low value links, but backlinks from reputable sites.

Article Marketing is not all rosy though. It takes time to write a good quality article, it takes some time to be able to develop a catchy title that is not only keyword rich, but that attracts viewers. It takes time to submit the articles, and in some cases, it takes a lot of time to have your articles approved.

For those webmasters who are pressed for time, there are always other options such as outsourcing. You do need to be careful in this respect though. In general, if a price is too good to be true, it IS too good to be true. Other services such as Need an Article offer very low prices but also carry a membership cost. The long term benefits are there though. Outsourcing in itself carries its own secrets, but you must remember at the same time that if you are spending money, you must be able to make it back again.

What directories can I submit to?

There are literally thousands of article directories out there, many that you can market your articles to. I am going to name my top ten directories for you in the hope that this gives you an idea. This is only a snippet though, and other options should be looked into. In the meantime, good luck with your article marketing! It really is one of those methods that you do need to implement now rather than later.

Article Marketing is the Best for Search Engine Optimization!

admin — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 19:48:48 +0000

Out of all the key Search Engine Optimization Services and tools that you can apply to your own SEO campaign, it is widely known that article marketing is the most effective SEO tool that there is, and comes recommended from many SEO Experts. Although, one of the keys of SEO and putting together a successful campaign is understanding why we do certain things. What is the outcome at the end of all of this? Why are we doing this?

The power of Article Marketing for SEO comes from your ability to place several keywords and phrases that relate to your niche in your articles. The more directories that you distribute unique articles to, the further your keyword spread. It’s easy. You can rank high on search engines based on your article keywords alone.

Article writing is what we also affectingly refer to as “White Hat SEO”, which is a sustainable method of Search Engine Optimization. This means that by you creating quality articles, you are in fact bringing in results that will last for your websites entire life. Articles are something that you can build on every day, and continue to develop on even after you dominate the search engines. Unlike many other methods, such as link exchanges, and blog directories, article marketing brings in long term results that will always count towards your sites rankings.

Of course, we cannot pass by the creation of backlinks. Link juice is as powerful to us as having a website is. Without link juice, or backlinks, our websites simply will not rank. Remember, in most cases, article directories will have great rankings in the search engines. Not only that, but you need to remember the main reasons that article directories exist. They are distribution sites, a site where other webmasters who are looking for content that they can publish on their own websites. The benefit of this? Almost all article directories require publishers to keep your credit link, which you really should include a backlink to your site in your credit or resource box.

Unlike a lot of other methods of Search Engine Optimization that cost several hundred dollars per month, or several hundred dollars to complete, article marketing is affordable. You can do it right now. Go on, give it a try. Open up your text editor and give it a shot. Anyone can write about something that they love, and anyone can submit their own content. Just do yourself a favour and make sure that it is informative though.

As what has been covered already, clearly, as a form of off page SEO, article marketing as an SEO Service is an extremely effective marketing and Search Engine Optimization Service. You are not only creating great information for other potential users of your site, but you are also having that content distributed to all corners of the internet. Try this. Create an article, just one article. Once it has been submitted, wait for 48 hours. Now, go into Google, and type in the name of your article. I can promise that you will be pleasantly surprised.

If you are looking at a way to distribute your articles to multiple services, we do recommend Content Spooling Network, it is simply next to none in its abilities as a SEO Service for article distribution. They currently have a 21 day trial, and we recommend that if you are wanting to take your articles to the next level, you should look into them asap. The results do pay off.
