The Right Pointers for SEO and SEM

An optimized website is a website with purpose. Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a website or a web page in search engines via the "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results.

SEO Shortcuts ~ Links for Launch

Ahmed Bilal in his Life and Marketing Blog writes:


"The right links will check all the boxes that make up an ideal link - they will be from relevant sources and pass PR, trust and authority to your website.  However, some elements of trust and authority can only be earned over time. Your links will need to age, your domain name will also need to age.  Do not let this deter you in acquiring quality links. Rather, use this as an incentive - the earlier you get those big-hitting links, the quicker they will mature and help you get those top rankings...[more]."

P.S. If you buy something from this page...

Acumen FundSave The Children... you'll automatically be making a donation to Save The Children, working to solve global poverty. As a matter of fact, all of our lenses donate to Save The Children or The Acumen Fund.

Doesn't that feel good?

Order Matters, Says the Sandbox

Or, where to start in a link building campaign.

Andy Hagans from his Link Building Blog writes:


My recently published article, 101 Ways to Build links, shows that you have many, many link building tactics at your disposal. For any given website, you probably need to use at least a few dozen link building different tactics over the course of a year or more to rank for anything remotely competitive.


One thing I didn't mention in the article, though, was that for a brand new site you need to build certain types of links first. Why? Thank TrustRank/the sandbox. To even get fully indexed (now that we have sandbox crawling), let alone ranked, you'll need to get the domain some trust right off the bat, and this is only going to happen by building certain types of links in a certain way. OK, so what is "certain types of links in a certain way"? Basically, we need trusted links to happen first, and then a "natural growth curve". Want specifics?...[more]"
