Seo For Soho: Great Free Keyword Tool

I found a very interesting free keyword tool today that gives you another perspective on keyword focused webpages. Apparently this strategy has been used with much success by Wikipedia. Since Wikipedia comes so much at the top of any search, they are either owned by Google (which I don't believe they are) or they have got Google all figured out. The seo technology used is called LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). This technology considers highly related other words besides your keywords and although very much related to your keyword they are not your keywords. I don't think Wordtracker can help you here but http://www.quintura.com definitely can. When I go to this website and type in the two keywords for my SEO website http://www.seosoho.net which are obviously "seo" and "net" I get a field of words that I wouldn't necessarily think about: "prospecting", "services", "marketing", "business", "optimization","search engine", "tools", "software", "free". Well some I would think about but not all. Once you have this list, you should the incorporate these words in your web pages. Getting to the top of Google just got easier.

Seo for Soho: Your Website

Sometimes when someone else designs and writes your website for you, whether it be friend or so called expert, you are at their mercy when it comes to some details that really matter when it comes to search engine optimization. If you don't see the website program or know how it works you may think everything is ok but be sadly disappointed when you get no website traffic or even get found by the search engines.

Having your own website design software to do the job yourself is still the best option but there are questions you can ask your website designer which will demonstrate to you how competent the person is. The first question is "What keywords are you using?" Is the main keyword in the page title? Is it in the meta tags and page descriptions? I remember looking at an early version of my Bread Roots websites and found these sections to be blank on some pages. Every page should have different keywords, meta tags and obviously page descriptions. All photos should have "alt text" to tell the web spiders what it is because they don't read images. At least one photo should have the page keyword in the photo. Has the website been submitted to Google and MSN? As mentioned in the previous blog, does your website have your blog feed.

After paying out hundreds of dollars to a "webmaster" and waiting sometimes weeks before changes to my website were implemented, I decided to do it myself. It took a while because I had to learn a lot. I used a variety of website design hosting options until I finally settled on my XSite Pro website design program which works just fine. Each page can be analyzed by the program to make sure everything is done as it should be. Now I can get a website up in and running in a day depending on the number of web pages. The flexibility to change a website yourself in a moment is probably the biggest benefit.

Seo for Soho : The Competition

The new search engine Cuil (which is the Gaelic for knowledge) boasts 121,617,892,992 web pages for you to browse. You could say that's not much because it's a low number compared to the national debt of the USA which stands at 500,000,000,000. and the Republicans may get elected for this?

Anyway getting back to Cuil. 121,617,892,992 represents the number of web pages you are competing against when you launch a website. It's a good thing entrepreneurs have a positive outlook or they might decide those odds are a little high. Of course, they are not all in competition with your website but there are lots who are. If you are a home based business owner without the resources of even a small corporation you might get the impression you cannot compete. Let me tell that you can and you can be number one. It will take your time, study and a small monetary investment but it can be done.

Seo for Soho: Blogging

If you have a small business website promoting an opportunity, product or service, you definitely are missing the boat if you don't have your own blog. If you are in an mlm company that has replicated websites, a blog is a great way to let you shine through your blog. Yo certainly won't shine much from the company replicated website. You can get a free blog from Google at blogger.com or Wordpress.com or Veretekk. Blogs are easy to set up, and won't cost you anything. It's simply a great way to promote your business. After a while you will develop a readership if you have a compelling blog. These readers could become prospects for your product or your business.

If you do have a website with your own domain, then a blog is even more important. Make sure you have a feed to your blog on your website. Everytime you blog, which should be daily, your website is updated. Google likes websites that are constantly updated so you will get higher search engine ranking. Final word for today. Blogs should appeal to human interests and not simply used for blasting out a sales pitch.  People want information on how to solve their problem or issue not a sales pitch. You want people to be drawn to you so that they will call or comment on a blog post . It's all about creating relationships.

Search engine optimization for Soho depends heavily on the number of back links you have. In other words, how many other websites are linking to you. Google gives a lot of weight to back links when ranking a website. For seo, the number of back links is definitely not he only factor that matters but it is an important measure that cannot be ignored.

Building back links to your website can be tedious, and time consuming especially if you attempt to contact other website owners to exchange links. Sometimes the requirements they demand in exchange for the privilege of linking to their website can be onerous and not worth the effort. If you are seriously interested in seo for your website you might want to consider using Veretekk's Seo Portals where you can populate 40 odd websites with links to your websites and that's just the beginning of what can be done. http://seosoho.veretekk.com

Home based business is all about achieving the American Dream or The Promise of America. It is all about the realization that whatever negative circumstances you are in right now can be changed for the better. The right home based business gives you the vehicle (and money) you need to get from "out under your circumstances" so you too have a shot at achieving whatever the American Dream means to you. It can be done with sweat equity, part time and on the internet and it won't cost you much money.

Our home based business options presented here are all legitimate, respectable and do-able money -making businesses. Do as much research as you like, and at the end, I am sure you will agree with my assessment.While they all require a relatively small investment to get started, they are no where near what even the cheapest franchise would cost you. One, in fact, can be done for $10 per month. No we don'y have any for no money down. The fact that you can easily do it from home avoids the high start up of most traditional, conventional businesses: money for office/warehouse/workshop space and all the money required for overhead that comes with this space like electricity, heat, municipal taxes and telephone/internet connections.

The "Democratization of Wealth", a new term coined by Paul Zane Pilser, using the Home Bsed Business model is unfolding all around you and me. Technology has leveled the playing field so that we all can have our shot at sharing the wealth. In the early years of the 20 th century only the wealthy drove cars. Henry Ford caused an economic and social revolution by making cars for the common man. This global HomeBased Business Model does the same for business as Henry Ford did for the automobile. This Home Based Business is revolutionary because businesses including franchises are usually reserved for people with money.(lots of money) What if there was something the common hard working average Joe or Josephine could do without a heavy investment? There is.

What's soho? Soho is anagram for "small office,home office" or home based business. It's also a trendy district in New York and London where it has nothing to do with real business except perhaps retail.

If you search SOHO websites on Google, you will find lots of trendy shops, galleries and similar kinds of business all with very expensive looking websites. You will also see websites related to home business development and that's where we come in.  

You either have a soho business website or are thinking of a website that has something to do with monetization and marketing. Websites are wonderful information tools for both employees and customers. Websites can attract new business and make you money using appropriate marketing. That's the popular line anyway. Problem is finding your website in the literally millions of websites out there. The solution is good website marketing. In all the work you have to do to think about what the website should be about, the domain name, the actual design of the website and the optimization of a website, the actual job of attracting new customers (website marketing)can easily get lost in the gobbledeguck. It's quite disappointing to have done all the work and get no results because your website address might as well reside in the graveyard as on the internet:the result of poor website marketing.

If you are new at this, you may just throw your computer out the window except then you wouldn't receive your email. If you've been doing this a little while and are determined to make a go of it, maybe there's hope for you. You may have to start all over from scratch. Having done this multiple times, I am becoming quite an expert in starting over. Hopefully, I am learning a little more each time I do this. Richard Kyosaki says 1 in 10 businesses fail which means you have to start 10 businesses before you are successful. Some people use this as an excuse not to start at all, others see this as a challenge. The alternative is getting a job and that doesn't interest me much. But it might be fine for you.

If you've got some kind of business on the internet, and you are interested in website marketing, we may be able to help you but you must be willing to learn and have "stick to it ness". Think of it as university course in online business taught by people who make a living online. When was the last time you made money taking a university course? Unfortunately, many people never make any money from the degrees they paid for and worked so hard for. That well may happen here but here you won't pay nearly as much for the education and the work you can do part time whenever you have time. If you are an insomniac, it beats late night or midlle of the night or real early morning TV. In fact, it beats TV most days.

Some people will have you believe my Home Based Business Blog is a cure for insomnia. If that doesn't work, try Montmorency Tart Cherry Concentrate featured on "my favourite products" page of http://www.healthwellnessopportunity.com

The main link to examine is http://internet-marketing.veretekk.com  This will give you an in depth overview and may cause some confusion. That's normal. It's a very sophisticated internet marketing plan that needs to be studied somewhat. Don't get discouraged. It's like a cafeteria: you don't have to consume or use everything all at once. You will most definitely not learn everything at once. Just like in college, it takes months to take a course and learn what you need to learn. Here, it's the same. Once you sign in for a free silver system, you wil see on the main page a bar at the top with the headings: Veretekk,Veremail,Veretraining and Platinum. Click on Veretraining, the click on calendar on the left. You will see all kinds of on line seminars listed for the current date and future dates. If you actually go to these free on line seminars you will save yourself a ton of time since you might even do it the right the first time. You may realize by now that I haven't visited these seminars as much as I should. Something I learned at school about skipping class doesn't work well at Veretekk

On Google there are only 2 ways to make the first page: you either earn this right by doing everything right on your website to attract the search engine spiders or you pay for Google ads. The former is a lot more work but it is also a lot cheaper. It helps a lot if you a website design program that analyses your website for keyword density, headings etc as you go. But even if you have a great website, you are left the the problem of marketing this website. This is where a company called Veretekk can really help you out. Originally started as an internet marketing company for small business, it promises big results even for experienced seo consultants. If you want to get exposure/traffic/ranking, then consider using Veretekk. The key to using Veretekk is your user name. If you go to my Veretekk home page http://seosoho.veretekk.com , you will immediately hear instructions re the username being a keyword. This part of the process is critical because everything you do later depends on this keyword. Best to call me so I can explain in more detail. For a test drive though, you can pick your best shot(after you decide on the right keyword you can create another silver system in Veretekk), sign up for free Silver system, then configure this system using the Affiliate Portal. If you do this, you will see keywords figure prominently in the "Configuration section" .They also are important in your Title tag, and your Meta tags, as well as your Description section.  All these sections relate directly to your Veretekk user name which should  be the keyword that best describes your business. At the same time you should not be too general or too specific. Read my last blog about the importance of Word Tracker. If your keyword it too general, you may have a ton of competition which means it will take a long time to get to the front page of Google. Once you get there, the results can be worthwhile.If you are patient and keeping doing the work required without seeing immediate results, then that's ok. If you want a quicker fix, chose a keyword more specific to your business without being too specific. If you are very specific, you will get to the top in Google with Veretekk very quickly. Problem is you won't have a lot of traffic because people may not search for you using your keywords. So its a balancing act and trial and error. It's been said that using Veretekk is like drilling for oil. You will hit some dry holes especially at first but you will always be focusing on finding the gusher. Once you find it your internet presence will pay off, big time. Veretekk requires work and study but it is a serious tool that's available to you so you can improve your business. It also has a built in affiliate marketing program so that when you get results you can happily promote it to other people and develop another income stream for your company.

The Importance of Wordtracker

Way too many new internet marketers use the wrong tools, me included, when deciding on website names and  keywords. In the past I  would simply go to Google, type in a word or phrase and see the page counts. I would then design my website names and keywords based on this information. I can tell you that this is absolutely the wrong way to do this. Take "leads" as a catagory. Using key words such as "create leads", "most leads", "more leads" , and "free leads" all look good on Google but they are basically time and effort wasters on the Internet. A simple check of Wordtracker free keyword help reveals this words or phrases as very poor draws. A newby might think "wordtrackers no good". An experienced webmaster knows that the "keywords no good". Big difference and a big difference in success and failure.

You can save tons of time and money just by using this simple tool. More info http://www.seosoho.net

In the home business arena, many new entrepeneurs get stuck in a rut promoting only one opportunity. It's "an all your eggs in one basket" approach. This is fine if it works. You also don't want to be seen as promoting numerous opportunities so you start looking like a junkie. The emphasis should always be on a coherent plan working towards a common goal.

The "'Triple Threat" that I have developed revolves around 3 areas : an excellent heath and wellness opportunity to serve an ever growing market for the forseeable future; a low cost but effective lead generation system to feed this health opportunity; and a search optimization strategy (seo) that works towards getting the primary business website ranked highly on the search engines so there is a constant supply of new customers. All 3 areas are profit centres and all work towards the common goal. All accept the current reality of the internet and its role in helping home business achieve it's obvious potential in the market place. At the same time, this overcomes many of the hurdles that many people face in attempting to build a new lifestyle for themselves via a home based business opportunity.

The good thing about this  "Triple Threat" is that you can pick and choose what's best for you. You can adopt the wellness opportunity program, use the leads program or the seo program all independant from each other. All of these programs come with a heavy investment in training and education. This is definitely not a get rich quick scheme but a thorough business like approach to creating an income stream on the web.
