SEO Tips

1. Give stuff away. Does your company offer free samples of its product? Do you have any handy applications or an ebook you can let site visitors download for free? There are few more effective ways to get people to link to your site than to offer something for nothing.

2. Share useful information. Links are commonly used to share information, so putting useful information on your site, such as articles or how-to guides will help draw links.

3. Connect with your community. This can be either your geographic community or a community based on your industry. Sponsoring an event at a local charity, interviewing an industry expert and posting the interview on your site or writing articles and blog entries for others to post can all bring inbound links.

4. Reach out to the blogosphere. Bloggers are always looking for new ideas, new websites to link to, and new products to write about, and they can be a great source of link love.

5. Use good old-fashioned PR. Getting mentioned in the press is good for your company in many different ways, and one of them is that online publications may include links to your site or your information if your company is mentioned in an article.

How to Hurt your SEO

It’s important to be aware of what hurts SEO. For one, using “blog blasting” or other Free-For-All link services are poison for your reputation – don’t use them. As we keep mentioning, don’t purchase backlinks- search engines are known to blacklist entire networks of purchased backlinks. Also, doing anything deceptive or tricky (Black Hat) in anyway will result in your site becoming penalized, or worse, banned from the search engines entirely. Having pages with weak or minimal amounts of content also hurts the overall equity and value of the website. Every page should be valuable and interesting to the visitors who see it. We’ve also learned (from experience in the late 90’s) that keyword stuffing doesn’t help either – keep it legit and real and you’ll get real result.

Stupid SEO company also can ruin all your good work, trying to save money by hiring offshore company will ruin your SEO plan.

We keep telling Jordanian e marketing managers, google ..Read ..Learn then give us a call , and you will totally understand the bill plus our rate.

Remember : if its so good to be true,then there is something wrong !

why i will charge you 100jd per month, when all others charge 500 jd ?

Scamming Jordan companies for SEO services

Morning Jordan, ( 6:37 am ..been up from 2  hours, ask Omar Shobaki from imagine )

When we started business in Jordan that was Nov 2008, in that time when we started calling to know the interest in SEO or social media , %95 of  companies we call were like hearing Chinese talking to them !

Feb 2009, when we established the company ( official papers ), 1 from 25 companies, somehow got what we were offering, and these end to be our partners, which we until now do business with.

August 2009, we start hearing some companies, trying to get money from their clients by offering what we call SIMPLE SEO PLANS.

But as usual if you are not good in building sites ! or lets say it: you are web1.o company how the hell you will sell SEO !

Fast track to This day ! the le web shipping of companies , we know will not come in good !

Guess what ? the headache didn’t come from these companies ! it was from abroad INDIANS ! YEP Because we didn’t have enough of them in Europe or America ! they are landing in JORDAN .

BRING IT ON LOSERS ! IT’S SOMETHING YOU CAN’T BEAT US ON ..BECAUSE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE LACK OF IMAGINATION

Future of the web and SEO

Search engine optimization may become less important in the future as Internet users rely more on recommendations and social media to find information. Already, people are asking questions on Twitter and Facebook instead of Google. This means that high-quality content and usability will become ever more important, because users are more likely to recommend a website if they have found it easy to use and useful. Also, search engines themselves will be smarter, meaning they’ll be able to better discern a Web page’s usefulness to a particular user.

I ran today by this quote, it’s kinda true if you run scam business ! or you push scam sites by doing blackhat methods !
But let’s compare 2 companies offering business card , both real , both legitimate business,
How you will bring B on no.1 and A down of it ?
Some people don’t get the full case..and that quote with respect didn’t get real case of SEO !

  • Some thinking have title ..voila we are done.
  • Some think adding couple of lines or stuffing on each page ..voila so so seo.

Some don’t even think!

Criticize SEO !

WHO ? WHAT ? HOW?

BUT ..
They’re listening to the wrong people. It’s easy to form a bad opinion of just about anything if you listen to the wrong people. Just as in social media, there are plenty of people in the SEO world who promulgate myths, misstate facts and make sweeping proclamations. These things aren’t always done intentionally but the harm is done regardless. Unfortunately, the people who are most apt to do these things are often the ones who have the time to hog the spotlight and are most visible to newbies.

They’re lazy. SEO is hard work. From learning the basics to staying abreast of the latest trends to actually applying your knowledge in practice, SEO, like most things worthwhile, requires hard work and an investment of time. Out of all the people who criticize SEO, how many do you really think have actually made a reasonable effort to see what SEO can do for them?

They’re full of nonsense. A lot of the people who criticize SEO don’t really believe what they say. Take Jason Calacanis, for instance. He’s said some pretty mean things about SEO yet his company, Mahalo, is basically an SEO play. And uses some pretty aggressive tactics at that.

If you can’t convince them, confuse them.

Artificial SEO

A search engine optimization company using “artificial SEO” will ask, “How can I get links pointing to this site without adding anything of value to it?” The latter approach usually leads to reciprocal linking schemes, link farms, the purchase of text links, and more—anything except making changes to the Web site that entice others to link to the site without the link being reciprocated, without paying the Web site owner, or without asking “pretty please.” There is a stark contrast between “Organic SEO” and “Artificial SEO.” Of course, any decent search engine optimization company will make certain that a site is listed in all the popular directories, such as the Yahoo Directory, the Open Directory Project, and Business.com. A good search engine optimization company will also continually seek any industry specific directories where your site should be listed. But truly using “organic SEO” means evolving your site into something that holds actual value to your prospects. In my opinion, this is much more beneficial in the long run than the artificial methodology of trying to garner incoming links that the site does not truly deserve.”

A word on Nofollows

Nofollows

nofollow is an HTML attribute value used to instruct some search engines that a hyperlink should not influence the link target’s ranking in the search engine’s index. It is intended to reduce the effectiveness of certain types of search engine spam, thereby improving the quality of search engine results and preventing spamdexing from occurring

We never used it , we will never use it. and if you can get over giving too many links ,then you are good.

SEO & project managment

In general we have these rules :

  • Goals/Objectives

  • Getting everyone on board

  • Develop Indicators

  • Delegate tasks

  • Actions

  • Reviews

I will talk about getting everyone on board, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

for us it’s the most hard thing specially when you deal with 30+ employees client!

SEO isn’t rocket science but if your client’s/boss’s expertise lies elsewhere then it’s really worth making sure they understand what you’re trying to do and why you’re trying to do it. Make sure someone (and it can be you) really believes in the strategy and can champion it to whoever needs convincing. It’s important that this person can communicate the overall idea as well as go into the specifics.
 

Always look for that one who have the passion to do, always work for us ;)

Google ‘Caffeine’

As you may have heard, Google recently announced testing of a
new, more powerful version of their search engine technology.

It’s code-named “Caffeine

Now, as business people who rely on SEO, any time Google gives
us some insights into what they have planned for the future, we
need to pay attention.

So what can we learn from what Google is telling us about the
future of search?  Here’s a quote I think is particularly
telling:

“It’s the first step in a process that will let us push the
envelope on size, indexing speed, accuracy, comprehensiveness
and other dimensions.”

I think that one sentence tells us all we need to know about
where we need to be moving, and here’s how:
1. Size and Indexing Speed: This tells us that Google is going
to be crawling more pages and indexing them FASTER.  This
continues Google’s focus on fresh content – so many new pages
are created every day, they can’t keep up.

2. Accuracy: This indicates that the sites that will continue
to “win” the search game are going to be the ones that can
correctly match up the searcher’s keywords with the content
they were actually looking for.  Google indicates that they’re
interested not only in what sites people click on, but what the
searcher’s behavior is once they arrive.

With that in mind, success will come from testing and adjusting
your pages to better serve your visitors.  It will no longer be
enough to focus on the keywords alone, but on actually making
your content relevant to what those searchers want.

One way to do this is through careful organization of your site
structure, organizing information in ways that people will find
useful, not just search spiders.

3. Comprehensiveness: To me, this indicates that Google will
continue to heap love upon “authority” sites – ones that do a
really good job of completely covering their selected niche.

In Google’s never-ending quest for relevance, Google wants to
see sites that can indicate a thorough and comprehensive
resource for what people are searching for.  This is why it’s
important to continue to build pages that rank for ALL your
relevant keywords.

It’s not just about the individual SERPS, but the “profile”
that a comprehensive site creates.  I can imagine that this
focus could be partly to combat “SERP Spamming” tactics where
results are flooded with multiple, largely identical copies of
the same information spread across multiple Web 2.0 sites.

More and more, it’s going to be important to create sites with
larger and larger collections of content in order to really
dominate the listings.

Once again, Google shows that they prefer larger, older sites
that are packed with useful information.

So even though there’s been a lot of buzz around this
announcement and lots of speculation, I don’t think you need to
change too much if you’re already doing your SEO the StomperNet
way.  What’s working in Google now for us appears to be exactly
what they want to encourage.  In fact, they want MORE of it,
FASTER.

So get started today, so by the time Caffeine comes out of
BETA, you’ll be so far ahead of your competition they may never
be able to catch up…call

SEO : If You Can’t Be First, Be First In A New Niche

You’ll face the problem of not being first whenever you enter an existing niche. And on the internet, that’s “most of the time”

Look at the top sites in your chosen niche. If they got in early enough, chances are they enjoy the linking benefit that comes with being first. Typically, Google’s linking algorithm favors long established sites, as opposed to newcomers.  Those who are first to occupy a niche have a much easier job of getting links because they are remarkable, simply by virtue of being unique.

So what to do if you arrive late to a niche?

Invent a new niche, and be first in that.

Say you sell holiday rental accommodation in Palm Springs. Unfortunately, there are a lot of holiday rental accommodation services in Palm Springs. So to differentiate yourself, you might decide to focus on “the cheapest rental accommodation services in Palm Springs”. Or “the most upmarket rental accommodation services in Palm Springs”. Or “the best rental accommodation guide for solo travelers in Palm Springs”.

Focus on a new angle that your competitors aren’t targeting. This is called market segmentation.
