It really is a conversation starter which can lead to more of an  in-depth analysis leading to  an effective strategy to take the prospect's website to the next level on Google. It's almost impossible to rely on software alone to do an analysis of a website in terms of Google visibility or authority. An analyst (a human being) must look at the data and review the hundreds of elements that might play a role in the custom strategy to be proposed for the business’ website.]]></description>

It’s speculated that their algorithm underwent more than 600 changes in all in 2011.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Search Engine Marketing is a necessity not only to businesses but also to the World Wide Web as a whole. Good SEO makes for a well established, well crafted, organized, informative, useful, and reliable web site; am I right? However, to understand SEO, one must also understand and see SEO as an ever-changing and ever-growing set of elements. What worked and benefited a web site a year ago, may no longer have the same effect today.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Website search engine marketing and SEO are a priority when starting a business website. While some think SEO and search engine marketing will turn their brand new website into a top ranking Google hit in a few days, this is simply not how SEO or search engine marketing works. SEO is a process that requires time, commitment, and patience. A number of marketing and SEO techniques can maximize and expedite improved website ranking in targeted search results, but SEO does not make any website magically appear at the top of a Google search in 2 days. There are some main ingredients, however, that help to market your website with search engines more quickly and effectively.]]></description>

After all, what good is trying to have a presence on the Internet if your website isn't presented in a manner that allows your image to be maximized? Isn't being seen the whole point of it?

Though there are many obvious benefits to selling online, it is not necessarily easy to do so successfully. Many businesses are learning of the benefits of selling online which forces the pool of online sellers to grow more and more each day. This is not a bad thing as online selling is a logical and potentially very profitable outlet but there must be clear acknowledgement of the new found competition that accompanies the new craze.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Internet marketing (also known as online marketing) is exactly as it sounds, a way to market your products or services on the internet. Many make the mistake of believing that all it takes to be considered an internet marketer is to have a  live website . That is far from the truth. There are millions of websites added online every day. What makes a website adequately compete in internet marketing goes far beyond registering a domain name and uploading content.

		<description><![CDATA[Business owners who advertise with pay per click advertising (PPC) must stay constantly vigilant of click fraud, an internet scheme which can quickly deplete your advertising budget. Also known as click spam, click fraud involves a false inflation of the number of clicks on an ad. Fraudulent clicks are any clicks on a pay per click ad that happened where the intention is not interest in the ad’s content, but to cause a charge to the advertiser. Often these false clicks are automated, but sometimes the clicks come from individuals (occasionally paid). Click fraud is criminal; however, this hasn’t stopped the proliferation of increasingly sophisticated click fraud schemes, and it can be a hard crime to prove and prosecute. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To understand why a website needs backlinks, you must know what a backlink is. A backlink is an incoming link posted or created on another site resulting in a clickable link that leads back to your website. A good example would be a backlink that is created from entering your webpage information on an online directory. Other backlinks could be found in the form of linked text inside content such as articles. Backlinks are also how a website is measured in terms of popularity and page rank. That is why the generation of backlinks is emphasized in SEO (Search Engine Optimization).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The General Motors Corporation emerged in 1931 as a leader in the US Auto industry. GM represents brands such as Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac, and Hummer among others. In earlier decades, GM was responsible for introducing the world to iconic cars like the Camaro, the Corvette, the Seville, the Firebird, and most recently, the Escalade. The problem with these cars is that although they are beautiful, they do not appeal to consumers that are feeling the effects of the economic and environmental problems that we face in our current world. GM's lack of focus on engine efficiency and keeping customers coming back has finally, after years of inattention to market focus and overall poor management, has finally sent GM into a much publicized and very controversial bankruptcy. Innovative and dependable car manufactures like Honda and Toyota have been taking a large portion of their US market share for many years and the bankruptcy is only adding to this long standing trend.  The service, reputation, and quality of GM's cars in recent years have declined forcing loyal US buyers to take their business elsewhere.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For anyone who runs a business of any kind, you'll know that the true question is not whether we need marketing, but how much do we need? A store owner can have the best products available on the market, and a top notch staff, and they will still flounder financially if no one is able to find their product. Even word of mouth is a form of marketing. It's impossible to simply put out a great product and expect to get financial rewards. As with any business, it takes money to make money. An investment in marketing is equally, if not more important than, the investments you make inventory and staff.]]></description>

It is used by some Internet Marketers and Online Advertisers for what is commonly referred to as Paid Search or Pay per Click (PPC) vs. Search Engine Optimization which always refers to Organic Search Results. Optimum7 and many others use Search Engine Marketing to refer to all marketing methods and processes involving both organic and paid search results.]]></description>

The process is called "deleveraging" but really what this is the process of liquidating hard and soft assets to pay off what can be paid off in the face of never-before-seen lost bets on incredibly risky investments.

		<description><![CDATA[Search Engine Advertising is a term that is inherently confusing.  Some use this term interchangeably with Sponsored Search or Pay Per Click Advertising as in Google Adwords.  Of course, these are actual advertisements that are tied to specific keyword phrases.  As such they are targeted advertisements because they are only viewed based on the keyword itself.  Others use this term to mean Organic Search Engine Optimization or SEO which in fact are not advertisements.  Rather, these are listings based strictly on relevance as rated by the search engines themselves.  These listings are not purchased or bid upon like PPC; they are earned through highly sophisticated optimization techniques.  Successful Organic Optimization results in highly visible listings with no cost to the website owner no matter how many times the listing is displayed or clicked.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the time of this writing, the country is facing real and growing fear ... on Wall Street and on Main Street.  The Congress, without shame, has passed the bailout plan along with a whole bunch of pork.  In other words to get enough votes, individual members of Congress traded their "conviction" for their pet projects designed to do what ... get more votes and insure their own political longevity.  This is Democracy?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SEO (Search Engine Optimization), professionally executed, accomplishes an important piece of a very valuable puzzle towards a truly successful and profitable website marketing strategy.  Using strong research for the best keywords, insightful competitive research, onsite and offsite optimization using great content and careful management using sophisticated website statistics are key elements towards high organic rankings for targeted keywords relevant to your business.  Being easily found for these highly popular and competitive keywords generates huge amounts of traffic to the website.  Although all of this is a great accomplishment, page 1 Google rankings by itself doesn't put a thin dime into your bank account.  So we have reached an important milestone; but now what?  How do we generate business from all of this traffic?]]></description>

While grossly under-reported, business loans are still very obtainable as long as you have the same things you have always had to have to obtain a business loan from your community or area bank i.e. solid business plan, collateral, etc.  In other words, capital is still available to entrepreneurs as long as you aren’t relying on smoke and mirrors.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s always tough to create a team, a team of people who can communicate and identify opportunities as well as deliver promises. Employee turnover is one of the major issues at any company. So, how do you find the right kind of staff to create your Search Engine Department?

The first step would be to identify yourself; what type of an organization you really are.  Are you an internet marketing agency, a full service marketing firm or a consultant? Once you place yourself in the right category, the people you should associate with will be limited. ]]></description>

It is a mistake to believe that the “big boys” know what they are doing on the internet, at least not yet.]]></description>

Successful SEO gets the right user to the right page on your website.  Now your website must take over from there to grab the attention of the visitor and very quickly … 5 seconds.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever get the look …The look when discussing intrernet marketing and its potentialwith clients.  The look that says “what are you talking about?”  The incredulous look about what it really takes to be successful marketing on the internet.


Internet Marketing is nothing short of a big race.  If you are a brand new website, your competitors already on the web are already ahead of you.  If this race were across the United States and we are all trying to get to California from New York, your competition can be anywhere from Ohio to Nevada.  So by the time your website is created and launched, your competition still holds a wide advantage in the “race to California.”]]></description>
