Keyword Research starts with a general list of keywords that you want to target. We process this list and find out if people are searching for these terms. The goal of our keyword research services is to identify the specific terms or phrases that get people to your site (the niche terms) for example “stock market analysis” would be a better term to go for then “stock market”. The right terms make all the difference because if you have the specific terms or phrases, you will most likely capture your target audience. Read more…

If you browse the internet alot then you really can’t help but notice all the spam that is floating around out there.  Most of the sites are the ones just looking to make a quick buck off  viagra or some other quick buck scam. It’s a really sad story that there is so much of this stuff out there, but what is alot more sad is to see to the local search results flooded with  duplicate listings. You would think that google would have this under control by now, but from the looks of things it just keeps getting worse and worse. I understand that some seo companies are trying to do what ever they can to get traffic and potential clients but putting 2 or 3 listings in every local search is going a little over board right?.

I often get asked about the google sandbox and the main question is always “how do I get out of the google sandbox”. This is a fair question, but first you need to know for sure that your site is really in the sandbox.

Some of you may have already heard of this guy but it is my first time hearing about him so my blog post is a little late. At first I thought this would be corny, but Charles Lewis, also known as Chuck The SEO Rapper is actually pretty good at rapping. These raps are not just creative, they are very educational and instructional as well.

If you listen carefully to the lyrics you will find that this is not just some mumble jumbo, it is in fact an actual seo guide on how to implement some of the basic and advanced seo tactics into your website. I thought that “Paid Search 101″ was awesome and very well put together, and “Online for Hours” had a really cool twist at the end.

I recommend that you check out The SEO Rapper, you don’t need to be a rap fan in order to enjoy these lyrics. Check out The SEO Rapper website http://www.theseorapper.com to learn more.

Google’s new search version better known as “Caffeine” is now open to the public for testing. Google says that they are interested in feedback but only want feedback on the differences between Google’s current search results and their new system.
