A common question I receive is, “what if I don’t have time to write articles?” This is a difficult situation many of us face in these extremely busy times. I have found blogging a great way to share information and much less time consuming than writing articles.
So you might be thinking, “what if I don’t have time to create blog posts?” Well all I can say is you need to find the time and if you want people to come back to your blog you should post at least five days a week. A useful tool I have found for finding good content to post on blogs are Google Alerts....

Link baiting is a technique used to draw traffic to your web site or blog to create a network of inbound links. High quality one-way inbound links are probably the best way to improve your search engine rankings at Google over time. Gary The Scuba Guy who writes the Pay Per Click Manager blog that appears in my blog roll, has created this superb article about Link Baiting. Hmmm…..it looks like he practices what he preaches!

I’m back on my high horse again today. I want to talk about what the realistic chances for a website to appear in the top rankings at Google. This is a very complicated subject, so I won’t go into all aspects of it. My goal here is to make sure people don’t get ripped off by so called “SEO Specialists.”1. You need a professional to give you a free evaluation of your organic search potential. We actually do that at www.internet-search-marketing.com.2.

Everyday I receive emails and/or calls from people looking for information they can trust and use about search engine optimization. Although their web site is really cluttered, I think Search Engine Watch is truly the industry leader in unbiased information on this subject.
Sorry for my late post today, it has been a really busy day!

One of my clients called me and told me he was approached by a company claiming to offer SEO consulting services. This company claimed they could do a better job than I was doing. Apparently the owner of this company recently completed the Search engine college’s course on SEM and was now ready to get into the business of finding new customers.

Needless to say, I explained to my client that the proof is in the pudding. What is this person’s rankings for their...

One of the more common posts around various search engine forums is, “my rankings at Google have gone down, can someone please explain why?” People who watch their search engine rankings on a hourly or daily basis should spend more time on building backlinks and providing linkable content (my opinion). I posted this comment which includes a quote from a Google public relations person recently at SEOChat last week and again today.
I’ve been reading the book, “Winning Results with Google Adwords”. This book was published sometime in what appears to be late in 2005....

This article by PC World is a perfect tie in to my recent posts about Google Adwords. Online ad spending in the U.S. grew 34 percent in 2006, compared with 2005, as marketers continued expanding their use of the Internet to promote their products and services, according to a new study. With an estimated US$16.8 billion spent, the U.S. is a “healthy environment” for online advertising, the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) said Wednesday.
