The Importance of Determining SERP Competition

Great detectives are timeless and now is a great time to start stepping up your SERP sleuthing :)
SEO has long been a process in which instant financial gratification has been hard to come by (especially on a brand new project). I believe the "patience" trait required by the nature of SEO is what causes many projects to fail due to a couple of different things:
  1. Many people getting into SEO get sold on "make a lot of easy money working from home" mantras and are lured in by otherwise dishonest marketers.
  2. SEO has a lot of upfront cost that may not be recouped for months (or years)
As organic real estate continues to become more elusive and expensive inside of Google (and harder to evaluate thanks to *not provided*) it really has never been more important to appropriately evaluate your competition and your keyword market.

Web Design that Gets Visitors

A good design has a soothing affect while a great design can have a mesmerizing one."

Easily said than done! When it comes to deciding on a remarkable design for a website, the best place to look for is the web itself. The online environment is a constantly evolving entity that offers a barrage of refreshing designs that one can look in order to gain worthwhile inspiration from. This however, doesn't suggest blatantly copying someone else's design. It should rather be taken as an unlocking shudder to the creative senses that are locked deep inside our mind. Developing a visually appealing design is usually a combination of this and the use of skillful craftsmanship. The eye-appealing beauty of any web design needs more than a well defined layout, engaging graphics and an easy to grasp message.

Google Penguin Update Means No SEO?

White Hat SEO is the soul of search engines. Search Engines need SEO equally as your websites need it

Google-Penguin-News

We had posted an infographic earlier this month which referred to the words Matt Cutts’ (Head of Google webspam team) where he had mentioned that the Google Penguin update is not targeted on SEO but on webspam. However, with many of the webmasters Googled-SEOout there who thought they were doing white hat and safe SEO got their websites penalized by the penguin update. This has created a general panic among all whether it is safe to use any SEO strategies again? Now I emphasis the word “THOUGHT”. They just THOUGHT that they were doing white hat SEO. More than half of all the SEO works done today across the planet is outsourced to freelancers and novice SEO firms who doesn’t understand the search engine algorithms but just focus on building as many anchor text links as possible. They convince their clients that they are performing safe SEO while they themselves are not sure about that. The result, penguin doesn’t make the mistake of ignoring your website. While I was creating this infographic using all the comments and reactions from webmasters after the penguin update, it was clear to me that most of the frustrated webmasters  just THOUGHT they were doing safe SEO, while in reality they were unintentionally spamming the web.

Without SEO, no website would highlight in the search results and would eventually be hidden for eternity. Say “YES” to whitehat SEO and don’t just THINK it is white hat, instead “MAKE SURE!”
