Using the Cross Pollination Concept to Aid With Social Media Success!

by Jeff Quipp.

Its difficult isn’t it? When you begin in social media, you feel dwarfed by this immense creature called Social Media that stands before you. You think to yourself; how could I possibly ever tackle something this large and win … its just too big?

The truth is … its not impossible because of a little concept I like to refer to as cross-pollination. This is where two plants or media support one another, and the resulting whole is stronger than the mere sum of the parts. Another way to look at it is; don’t fight, but rather join forces.

Perpetuum Mobile SEO : Reaping The Benefits

by Ruud Hein.

Recently, as I’ve hit 40 and somehow my body has just realized this , I’ve been out of the running a little bit as my body seems to be falling slightly apart. As a mental case good SEO everything relates to SEO for me. And thus while giving my body the rest it needed I was thinking “this is why you need some kind of perpetuum mobile of SEO”. I might have mumbled it instead of thinking it as I distinctly remember a person of the medical profession going “come again?” but face it, that’s besides the point.

Website Transition Planning Critical When Making Changes

by Jennifer Osborne.

Picture this … you’re ranking really well for an important keyword(s). It’s driving a lot of traffic and life is pretty good.

You decide it’s time to take better advantage of that traffic by giving your site a face lift.

The next thing you know, you’ve fallen out of the SERPS and you’re left shaking your head, not quite knowing what happened.

It’s an all too common scenario. To us Marketing People it was just a “face lift” a “re-skin”. We didn’t really make any major changes that should matter to the search engines.

Pre-emptive Reputation Management (PRM) Comes of Age

by Jeff Quipp.

Have you ever considered the possibility that you have within your power, the ability to prevent most negative stories about you or your company from reaching the first page of the main Google search results?

Its true!

It just requires some effort in advance. Such actions referred to as “Pre-emptive Reputation Management” (PRM) techniques, are designed to prevent negative stories from ranking high for key terms before they are even written. Actions taken after the fact to ‘remove or push beneath the fold or first page’ are referred to as “Reactive Reputation Management” (RRM) techniques.

22 DoFollow Social Media Sites Offering Profile Links

by Jeff Quipp.

Are links your nemisis rather than a powerful tool?

In last week’s post I talk about 4 alternative uses of social media. Point #2 I mentioned in that piece talked about “generating direct backlinks”, though I wasn’t able to elaborate as much as I would have liked to.

Obviously there are many ways to get links from social media. One such technique is to establish profiles on various social media, and link from your profile on those sites, back to your web site. The key obviously is in knowing which social media sites permit links, and which permit DoFollow links.

Make The Links Come To You: New Image SEO

by Ruud Hein.

Links is what makes search really work the way it does: effectively.

Reciprocal links were all the trend, once.

“A reciprocal link directory if a vital part of having a good Google page rank. However there are ways to make it a useful and important part of your website for reasons other than a high ranking in the Google directory.”

Paid links became a fashion; did you know that before 2005, most of the time when people wrote or spoke about “paid links” they were talking about PPC?
