What are the Poor Quality Links?

Poor quality link building, also known as black hat SEO, involves numerous forms of spamming and is designed to artificially inflate a website’s search engine rankings. White hate SEO, on the other hand, focuses on more relevant and authoritative link building by building relationships with clients.

What does poor quality link building involve?
  1. Spam forum posting
  2. Excessive keyword use (a common theme in the early days of SEO but now considered spam)
  3. Fake websites and profiles
  4. Excessive submissions to directories
These methods can sometimes give companies a ‘fast-track’ boost to the top of Google temporarily, however, they are very risky and unethical.  Certain SEO agencies use these methods to make a quick profit before moving on to apply their deceptive tactics to new customers.

10 Reasons People Hate Your Website

There are a variety of reasons why a website does not behave how it should and oftentimes website owners are not really aware of all of the possibilities that could slow down the growth of their website over time.

Here are my top 10 reasons people hate your website:

1. Too many Google Ads: Trying to monetize your site is perfectly fine, but covering the entire homepage with Google ads is not going to make you successful.
2. Poor Load Time: You don’t want your audience to sit there for a minute because the load time of your website is very slow. They will leave.
3. Poor Graphics: Your graphics need to appeal to your audience and if yours do not you might get people leaving your website fairly quickly.
4. Confusing Layout: Your website needs to lead your traffic down a path and a confusing layout might turn them off or really confuse them.
5. Poor Navigation: Your website navigation should be laid out thoroughly and in a fashion that is not confusing to your audience.
6. Too Much SEO: Nobody wants to view a website that has more links than content so make sure that it is first readable by your audience before you SEO it to death.
7. No Blog: Believe it or not there are certain people that will not engage with your website if it doesn’t have a blog.
8. Lack of Contact Info: Visible contact info is something that allows website visitors to feel warm and fuzzy in order to make further contact with your company.
9. Broken Links: Always make sure that the links on your website are working and not broken. People really don’t like clicking on links that lead them to nowhere.
10. Lack of Information: Your website should have the proper information to answer any of your website visitor’s questions. A lack of information could cause them to go elsewhere.


Make sure that you go through your website with a fine toothed comb and clean up any of these Website Building 101 concerns that sometimes plague website owners from growing their business well into the future. Make sure that people do not HATE your website!

Get Top Rank On Google By Simple SEO In 2 Days

Trust that, it’s a simple task to put on a high place on Google in two days. There could maybe be a variety of SEO techniques around, but here's the one that works best for me.

Most people that work online must have heard about Alexa. Alexa is usually a web-site by which you'll find out the traffic ranks of any site in a snapshot. Basically, this allows you a good measure of simply how much traffic a site is getting. Now, which websites will allow you to get your pages to rank high in Google in two days?

There are numerous article websites online (articlebiz, ezinearticles etc). You can get articles from there, which are ranking, simply by searching for article on google. You can do it by simply entering your search keywords (articles sites, article submission etc.) in the Google search bar and click enter. Have a good look at the search engine results that appear when you enter your keyword or phrase. The articles that came on the front page are vital; probably beating countless other results for that keyword.Now modify these articles to make it unique but avoid changing the keywords, if possible add some more relevant keywords or phrases.

Okay, now submit your articles to high ranking article sites and provide links to your web-pages, will likely have a very good chance of getting near the first page of Google. For those who have doubts about website traffic rank, use Alexa. There are many other factors that play a role here, but this is one helpful hint to how you can get a better chance of ranking high on Google fast and easy.

Here is a brief description, what I use to do.
1) Open Google Adwords Keyword Tool
2) Enter the keywords which are relevant to your subject
3) Find out the keyword that has very low competition
4) Those keywords should be used as the article title(this is very important). Likewise incorporate those keywords in the article post a few times (this is also essential).
5) Now go to alexa or google and search article sites. Once you realize which sites rank the top on Google, join those article sites and submit your articles sticking with the same keywords in your title, and the same keywords in your article a few times
6) Submit your article.

After 2 or 3 days, go to the google and type in those keywords you used. Scroll down the search results to see your article in the first 1-3 pages.

Please note the fact that this method works according to which keywords you use.
All the best!

Keywords Optimization

An integral part of any campaign in support of search engine optimization (SEO) is the research and choose keywords for your website. It is essentially words or phrases that are trying to defend in the search.

Do you Sell PEZ dispenser? You can then use the "fish", "service providers" , or the most popular items, such as "Star Wars Pez." When you decide on these keywords, you must enter keywords in the content and identification of the site is considered relevant for search engine placement for your site.

This includes the copy on your site, and all page titles, heading tags and links. This is not an easy process, but necessary for SEO.

When you insert your keywords throughout the content of the on-site, it is vital to understand the density at which the keywords are optimized on a page. The "keyword density" is referring specifically to how often a keyword is used in your copy of the in-page. Search engines compute the percentage of keyword density, and found the more often a search term in content, most will think that your page is relevant and should be ranked higher. However, there is a fine line between having an optimum density of the keyword and over-stuffing your content with keywords and terms.

Please note: Just because you have the right amount of keyword density in your SEO campaign, it means that the higher you will automatically align. The new Google algorithm favors really related terms to search only the keyword density. Focus also on the quality of its content, which only focus on your keyword density. If you exceed the optimal density of the keyword, you can face a penalty of over-optimization.

There's percentage of "perfect" in the keyword density in SEO, but strives to keep our Volacci density at or below 5 percent. The percentage of a page is relative to its length happy, so it is recommended that you know the formula for calculating each page. The formula for the keyword density is quite simple.

1. Count how many words you have on your page.
2. Count how many times you have used your keyword
3. Apply this formula

Keyword density = ([key word count]) * 100 / (total word count]
For example, let's say you have a 500 word article about PEZ dispensers, and you are optimizing for "FISH"

• - Total Word Count: 500
• - Applications of FISH keyword: 12

Density of "fish" = (12 * 100) / 500
The keyword density for "FISH" on page is 2.4%

SEO campaigns, have keyword optimization in content on-page is very important to be relevant to the search engines. However, if you focus too much on keyword density, you can potentially lose focus on other important elements in the dynamic approach to optimizing your site. Use the formula for keyword density to ensure that you are applying relevant applications of your keywords in quality content and links so that you are getting the most out of your research. If you abuse your keywords, Google will get you gods, so the stuffers are not saved.

Many SEO company is very passionate about their online success. By the end of the contract to have at least a lot more is spent on business services, your website ... or work for free until you.

What is Google Adsense

AdSenseis a Google service that inserts the administrator of a website-based text ads, known as AdWords, and get money for each click users click on the ad.

How does Adsense?: 

The operation is very simple. webmaster inserts JavaScript code that calls a Google server. This server parses the page where you insert the code, and depending on its content, generates a code that shows a series of advertisements for companies that are related to the theme of the page.

In this way, you get the 'clickthrough rate' (the percentage of visitors who click the link) is higher, since readers are more interested in the topic. Thus, the benefits are greater for the webmaster.
Moreover, the formats of the ads are highly customizable, both in color and size. Even you can prevent ads from your competitors web sites appearing in this advertisement posted.

What I need to participate in the service Adsense?: Only need to be the administrator of a website and make a request to the Google team. That yes, Google has some very clear rules with the quality of the websites, not to insert AdSense on pages that have pop-ups or dialers, for example.

Once your site has been accepted, you can start inserting advertising in minutes. However, it may be that the ads are not visible for a few hours since the Google ad server have to crawl your site.

How much money will I make?

Google does not have the money for each click, varies with each advertiser, and it is Google that decides what amount. But every moment you can see how much money you earn.

Google sends a check to your home at the end of each month if you earn more than $ 100 Anyway, the end of each year you send a check for the amount of money you will be.

Google Page Rank (PR)

Google Page Rank (PR) is a numeric value that represents the importance of a site is online. Google is the idea that when a website puts a link (link) to another is a vote for the latter.

The more votes a page that will be considered more important by Google. In addition, the importance of the page that casts the vote decides the weight of this vote. In this way, Google calculates a page's importance by the votes received, taking into account the importance of each page that casts the vote.

PageRankTM (developed by the founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin)is the way Google decides the importance of a page. It is a valuable data because it is one of the factors that determine the position will have a page within the search results. It is not the only factor that Google uses to rank pages, but it is one of the most important.

Keep in mind that not all the links are taken into account by Google. For example, Google filters out and discards the links of pages devoted exclusively to put links (called 'link farms').

In addition, Google admits that a page can not control the links that point to it, but you can check the links page to other pages in place. Therefore, links to a page can not harm it, but it links a page to place penalized sites may be harmful to your PageRankTM.

If a site has PR0, it is usually a site penalized, and may not be intelligent to put a link to her.

One way to know a page is PageRankTM download it the Google search bar (only available for MS IExplorer). Bar appears in the one shown in green PageRankTM value on a scale of 0 to 10. PR10 websites are Yahoo, Microsoft, Adobe, Macromedia, and Google. You have a full list of PR10 sites.

The google page rank Algorithm "PageRankTM" was patented in the United States January 8, 1998, Larry Page. original title is "Method for the position of the node associated with the database", and was appointed as the patent number 6,285,999.

Top 10 Seo tips For Web site Optimization

10 tips / tips to consider optimizing your site before sending it to Google. Following these tips can get Google to record better your website.

  1. If your website has the Welcome screen
  2. make sure you have a text link that allows visitors access the site. It is common to see many sites with a welcome screen very striking and full of effects thrown into Flash but no other way to access the site. It is advisable to have a text link that gives access to the site traditionally because Google can not read Flash pages and therefore can not access the rest of the site.
  3. Sure not to have broken links.
  4. Sounds pretty obvious. But it's impressive the number of errors experienced by the Google engine daily due to broken links. So we would have to check all internal links on our site.
  5. Check the labels TITLE
  6. The title of the pages is very important to Google, so you should check that the TITLE tag is relevant to the content of the page in question. This does not mean you have to put a title of more than 20 words, but rather in keeping with the content and easy to read by search engines and surfers.
  7. Check the META tags
  8. Rumors that Google is not interested in the META tags are not entirely certain. Google uses these tags to describe a website when there is too much code to read. So enter some valid as META tags KEYWORDS and DESCRIPTION for keywords and site description respectively.
  9. Check ALT tags
  10. ALT tags should be the least likely used by webmasters. We add these tags to describe images for them. They are not a factor, but a plus for Google.
  11. Check your frames (frames)
  12. A frame is a frame or separate box in which we can load a web page. If you use frames that Google can not index us 100%. I personally recommend not using frames, but if you decide to use them read this article.
  13. Have you got dynamic pages?
  14. It is known that the web evolved greatly in recent years, and that more and more pages based on dynamic scripting languages (PHP, ASP, etc.).. But it seems that Google is limiting the amount of dynamic pages it indexes, so we could include some static pages ... when the momentum is not necessary.
  15. Regularly update
  16. This is a very important aspect that you should consider, as quickly Google indexes more pages that are updated with some regularity. Podes note that the number of pages indexed by the search engine is increased if you update daily, but may stagnate or decrease if not provide new content. I recommend you put a META option in the header to tell Google how often you should return to reindex.
  17. Robots.txt
  18. This file can be very helpful if we use it correctly. With robots.txt you can filter search engines recorded our website and to restrict access to certain URL's that do not want to be indexed (login page, file folders, etc.).
  19. Cahe Cache or not?
Google maintains a cache of some pages to have a faster access to them. Some webmasters prefer not to be cached, or Google cachee our pages all we have to do is place the following META tag between the heads:

10 secrets for search engine success

Just as doctors at parties often have guests request free medical advice, search engine whiz Luke Jamieson is regularly asked for gratuitous tips about how to grab Google’s attention.
“It happens all the time,” says Luke, director of Adelaide-based website specialist DBG Technologies. “The most common question is ‘how do I get to be number one on Google?’”
Although these questions are no show-stopper for Luke as he prepares for the Christmas party season, he has compiled a Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) cheat sheet to help get websites Google-ready. DBG’s 10 SEO Tips for a Google-friendly website are:
1/    Create links that lead to your site
The best way to improve your website’s visibility for Google is with links from other sites, which deliver a double benefit of more ways for people to find your content plus improving your search rankings. Link sources include social bookmarking sites, industry forums, blog comments, local business directories, suppliers and news media websites.
2/    Create fresh relevant content – and keep refreshing it!
Ensure your site contains relevant material because search engines prioritise unique, informative content. Also, highlight key points and keep text snappy as users tend to skim read online.
3/    Make each page attractive to Google
Remember that Google ranks a web page rather than an entire website. By focussing each page around a particular keyword and theme, you have a greater chance of ranking well for that topic.
Write pages around keywords your market searches for rather than using “spammy” jargon.
4/    Promote your website through intelligent use of meta tags
Meta tags are the snippet of text you see displayed under headings in search results. Use enticing descriptive text to encourage searchers to click through to your website. Also, ensure each page on your site has a unique title and heading.
Google rewards integrity in meta tags rather than indexing them indiscriminately: Thus, it’s better to focus on one keyword per page, with meta tags aligned around a particular topic.
5/    Keep it simple for the KISS of success
Use technology to make your website work better, not just to keep up with the latest fad. Tools such as Flash! and JavaScript can make it hard for Google to find content: If you must, use it sparingly.
Even your web server location can impact your site’s Google appeal: Offshore servers can undermine the effectiveness of “local” searches.
6/    Use online tools to make sure your website is trim and terrific
Free online tools such as Google Webmaster or Yahoo SiteExplorer identify problems with your website, such as crawl errors and broken links, and let you submit an XML sitemap of your site, so search engines find all your pages.
7/    Get into the habit of regularly using website analytics
Google Analytics is a free way to track your website traffic. Stats Analysis tells you which sites refer you traffic and which keywords find your site.
As well as measuring if your SEO campaign is working, Google Analytics lets you know where to focus your efforts by monitoring user behaviour, time spent on site, the number of pages visited and which keywords resulted in inquiries.
8/    Social media participation can promote your website
Share content on news or bookmarking sites for others to read and recommend. Build a community on Twitter and Facebook, so you can instantly alert people to updates on your site with a hyperlink to content.
As well as submitting articles that use your knowledge to help people, you can also create content on your site, such as videos, that others can share socially / virally.
9/    Optimise your site’s images for SEO
Use keyword-rich captions and descriptive alternate text tags for all your images and place images near keyword-rich text.
10/    Remember – a website is more than set and forget!
Your website is not something to put online and forget: Think of it as a child that needs ongoing care. SEO is the same: Setting up your website correctly is a start toward getting good rankings but to stay ahead of your competition requires ongoing work.

Now you should be ready to go through with SEO tips for blogging:

·         Blogging platform: When you start blogging on platforms like Blogger, Wordpress, Typepad or anyother platform for blogging, your 80-85% of SEO work is already done by these blogs.
