Google SEO Updates: Link Building And Content


One thing that is true is marketers want to rank high in the search engines, especially Google. Google is the dominating search engine right now and everyone wants to dominate within it. However, there are many people who are not aware of what needs to be done in order to make that campaign a success. Most of us want to take on this spirit of instant gratification and not do the things that will give them the best chance to get at the top. There are two main components that go into making SEO a success with Google. These two components are link building and content.

Link building is one of the most overlooked strategy in the world. you have to understand that without link building, you don't establish any credibility to your site. The more relevant sites you have in your website, the better off you will be in the long haul. However, if you have a bunch of sites that are irrelevant or they are just sites that are flooded with AdSense ads and low quality content on the site, then that will pull down the value of your site. In addition to this, your link building campaign has to be specific as well. In other words, you need to choose the most effective and the most convenient strategy in order for you to establish a system for your business. Even if you need to pay to share links through a link sharing site. Overall, link building should be something that all marketers take seriously because Google has tightened their terms and conditions as far as their spiders reading sites with not only good content but also relevant links on the site as well.

Whenever people think about content, the first thing that comes to mind is article writing, blogging and press releases and SEO. However, the first thing that you should be thinking about is the richness of your content. In other words, as the cliche goes, you have to write "good" content. But what is good content? What exactly does that mean for Google? Well the bottom line is you have to write to help Google, as well as other search engines be able to find your site through multiple keywords. If you understand how to utilize your keywords effectively, you will be able to add your keywords without making the content look like you are throwing the keywords in there. This is key because Google's spiders are smart enough to know how to identify when someone's content is just spamming the engines. That is probably why you don't see your articles or other content anywhere in Google, or it's on the 5th page somewhere.

The best thing that you can do for yourself is make sure that you are aware of the many SEO updates that are out there on the web. You can make this daily, weekly or monthly, but you need to keep yourself ahead of what is going on so you don't get caught in the web of confusion and frustration. In addition, you don't need to follow any guru that makes you pay for information that you can easily find online yourself. I know that this is hard to believe but you should think about all of the material that you have bought, telling you to follow each step to the thread, and you still haven't gotten anywhere. If you put some of these SEO Gurus together, you will find that they are all saying the same thing or in many cases either working together, or have copied material from someone else anyway.

So you need to have a source to go to so that you can get accurate updates on the internet marketing industry as well as technological information as well. My blog has plenty of this information and it gets updated everyday. You can leave comments and ask questions to me directly.

What is Social Bookmarking ?

Social bookmarking is a way for many internet users to save, organize and manage web page addresses for future use. This is done with the help of metadata.

Meta Data :-

Metadata is basically data about data, or as the online dictionary states: "Information that describes the content, quality, condition, origin, and other characteristics of data or other pieces of information"

Social Situations :-

In a social bookmarking situation, users can store information about a certain websites they want to remember or share with others. These links can be shared publicly, privately or between members of a particular group.Most of the social bookmarking administrators encourage users to organize their links with tags that they themselves create. These are informal tags as opposed to the browser-based function of folders and tags.

History :-

The idea of social bookmarks dates all the way back to 1996 when iList was launched. Over the next several years, the concept would become more and more competitive. Then in 2003, del.icio.us created tagging and the rest as they say is history.

Pluses :-

As the practice of bookmarking has increased, search engines are recognizing the benefits of bookmarking over other web crawling techniques like spiders. Spiders are an automated program, which tries to determine the usefulness of a site based on algorithms. A bookmark however is an actual human being who has visited the site and determined that there is something of value content wise and would like to visit the site again in the future.

Minuses :-

The down side of this method of determining a sites usefulness is ironically the same as its strength. With human users, you have a variety of language uses, misspelling of words, antonym usage as well as many other issues. For instance a user may use similar and alternating tags for the same site and there is no mechanism to differentiate between them.
