There is a fable about the best way you can get top ratings in the world of search engine optimization. Some have stated that the best way you can get your website at the top of the page ratings is to get edu backlinks – using the additional credibility that a site with a dot-edu extension provides. The domain extension edu is known as a top level domain. It is one of the first six best level domains this included.com,.net,.org,.mil and, lastly,.gov. the edu site has been derived from the fact it absolutely was initially meant for the use of United States Academic Corporations. Some of the first websites to utilize this kind of site includes cmu.edu, berkeley.edu, UCLA.edu, Columbia.edu, Purdue.edu, and rice.edu.

The various search engines, nevertheless, take a look at just how the links are utilized in the edu site. The website you are trying to enhance through the usage will benefit more if the subject material is highly relevant to the edu domain. For instance, a link to a posted study on the origin of the species would be relevant if it is linked to a scheduled exhibition of early works of Charles Darwin.

Many writers on Internet know how important is it to optimize you articles not just for the eyes of readers but also for the search bots. Writers need to make use of keyword properly. Bloggers and all writes on Internet know it as Keyword Optimization.

SEO People and SEO Company (the people who charge money for doing simple things which a fool can do too) put a great emphasis of Keyword Optimization. They say it is a time taking and difficult work. It needs lot of attention. And I say they are right but (yes there is a ‘but’ everywhere) you can do it too. It is easier done then said.

Yes it is the truth. The only reason these SEO people make money is because either you are too lazy to do the work yourself or too rich not to do it yourself (Did I said rich, yap! those money waster). Anyways I am not rich and even though I am a little lazy, I play smart.

How to play smart in SEO Oops! KO (knock! Knock! There is nothing like this). Oh! Sorry I meant Keyword Optimization of your post. Before you read this article further read the paragraph below carefully.

First of all Keyword Optimization is as easy as easy but can be as difficult as difficult. This line may sound stupid but the thing is it is sometime difficult and sometime easy. It depends on what you write and how you write. The tip I am going to give is risky. It may even do negative effect. So use it at your own risk. It needs to be implemented with care. And most importantly this is done after writing and publishing your article or post. If you do Keyword Optimization before publishing then this may not be for you.

So you have decided to read on. Congratulation this 99$ valued SEO or KO (whatever) tip is free for you.

What you need?

An already written and published article. A little bit of brain for deciding what is good and what is not. A cup of coffee or Tea and if you like some snacks (we are going to enjoy and do our work). A Keyword Research Tool which can extract and suggest keywords from a given URL. I advice use of Google Adword Keyword Tool.

What to do?

I am assuming you are using Google Adword Keyword Tool (you should use this as Google is Google). On the Google Keyword tool you have two options to generate Keyword Idea. Choose the “Website Content” option. Now enter in the Permalink/URL of the article/blog post. You will get many suggested Keywords and Key Phrases. These suggested terms mostly used for searching by we people. Our work is to tell Google and other Search Engines (Yahoo, Bing, Ask, etc) we want to bid (no money involved) for the terms, for our article to appear in top search engine results.

Now that you have clearly understood what is our aim, it is time for action. Now here the brains are needed. There will lots of suggested Keywords and Key Phrases. You have to choose the Keywords which match your article idea/theme and which are lucrative (with more daily searches). It is advisable to choose some of the Long Tail Keywords from the list. Make a list of 10-15 good Keywords.

If you are blogger, using the list for SEO is very easy especially if you use WordPress. You need a well known plug-in called “All in One SEO“ (I believe most of you already have this plug-in). Go to your blog Dashboard and edit the post for which you searched the Keywords. Now you just have to put the list of selected Keywords in the appropriate place i.e. Keyword option of  All in One SEO on the Edit Post page of the article/post. Now the keywords you put in become Keyword Meta Tags and suggest bots to concentrate on those keywords.

If you are on other blog platform then you have to figure out some way to put the Keywords in the Meta Tag of the article/post page. If you have a static html page then you can put Keyword Meta Tags manually. If you find/think using Meta Tag is not very good idea then use Keywords as simple post/article tags. If you use simple tags you may not be able to target the Long Tail Keywords.

Now there is an advanced tip for better use of the suggested Keywords too.

This is not for people who do not have time and are not good at writing or reverse engineering articles (article modifications).

Here is how it works.

Some suggested Keywords may be lucrative but those words may not be in your article. But you want to use them in your Meta Tag or as Post Tags. Now what you have to do is add or rewrite some of the sentences using the keywords. Mostly you do not need to do much change. Only small changes will work perfectly. This also ensures that Search Engine do not think that you are just stuffing Keywords. For example you wrote an article on Money Making and you got a Keyword suggestion “Free Money Making” then choose few sentences where you used “Money Making” and just add “Free” to it.

What are the advantages of this?

First of all you do not have to waste time on Keyword Research before writing your article. Secondly this tip is useful for less smarter people too. You get ready made Keywords and Key Phrases (Long Tail Keywords) from Google itself. You do not have to think much. You can write your article from you heart and are not forced to make use of keywords.

What are the disadvantages?

Doing Keyword research is a very good idea. It results in a better Search Engine Optimized article. Writing article without keyword research may put you back in the competition. Your article may need to be edited if you want to target the keyword you discovered during this process. Keyword Tools are not perfect they many a time miss crucial Keywords.

What do you think of the tip I provided? How many of you have tried it or heard of it? Do you think it is risky? Do you think it is a good way of optimizing article for Search Engines? Can you call this a SEO? Share your opinion and lets us know.

Alert: If you did not read the post clearly/properly you may end up getting yourself banned by Google.

I bet all of you answered the above questions with positive response i.e. YES!

As opposed to my previous reviews this is going to be smaller. I can end it by just giving you the link to the website and its over. But It will be no good for this blog, me and you reader. So we will talk little about Directory Submissions and just have a summary of the service I am reviewing.

So first lets talk about Directory Submission. You must have been advised by many including me that you should submit your blog or website to directories. Its good for SEO and all other stuffs. We all agree with this statement. When you submit your blog to web directories you get quality back links. I say quality back links because the page linking to you is backed by your blog title, description, niche and even keywords. These things make the back link very important. So we have got the point that we need to submit to directories but the real worry is how to submit. There is no way I am going to submit my blog to 1000s of directories by myself. It takes at least 30-40 minutes to submit to one directory. Now calculate for 1000s, well first for 100 – it will take at least 3000 minutes which equals to 50 hrs or roughly 2 days if you work without sleeping.

So what solutions do we have. There are some software (I have used one) or plug-in (I think some Firefox plug-in) for easying the submission process but they still need you to work on them. It may decrease 70-80% of the workload but still it is time waster. Looks like we are in a pinch. Here is the role of our service comes in.  The service we are to review is very simple service of directory submission. They offer submission to 150 directories for free, you choose your category and get a professional report of submissions. Using a web based service is easy and do not need much time. You save  days of work. I see you are getting excited about the service. No worries my friends just go to Reseller Go – Directory submission and enjoy free directory submission to 150 directories.

 

They also have paid services. One is silver plan which costs just 4$ and other is Gold Plan which is 49$ per month and allows multiple domains. I advice you to go for Silver Plan. It is just 4$ and you submit you blog to nearly 4000 directories. It is like almost free. There are other services like article submitter and Fast Approval service.

NOTE:  I always advice to use Directory Maximiser for directory submission. Tested and Verified service.

Did you ever realize that your Twitter Profile is one of the best places to get a quality backlink? Well I didn’t realize it until yesterday. Yesterday I was on twitter for a whole hour and I learnt one thing, “Your Twitter Profile has got a Page Rank, utilize it“.

Page Rank, what’s so new about that every page has a Page Rank? Yes, you are right, all pages of a website have some PR and really there is nothing new about it. But did you ever imagine it as a nice place to get a backlink. I bet you didn’t.

 

There was one useful observation by Gabinator @SEOcopy of Level343, that every Twitter Profile had different PR. Now in general a page gets better Page Rank if there are quality links linking to it. Now here the case looks different to me. Now as per my experience you at least need 1000 backlink to get some PR. OK if not 1000 than at least 500. But I was thinking how PR of Twitter profile is 2. I certainly know it has not even 100 backlinks. I imagine who is linking to my Twitter profile. But the main things you need to know is that you can get quality backlink to your blog by linking to your blog from you Twitter Profile. I believe most of you already do so. If you do not, then do it.

There was one observation by me too. Its not related to Twitter but related to Page Rank. I found this particular thing about Page Rank tools, that they act different from each other. As I was having talk with SEOcopy, I asked her what is the PR of my profile as my PR determination tool (IE7pro Plug-in) told me it was 0. She told me its 2 by using SEO Quake. Why is the difference in result? I checked my profile PR today with the same tool (IE7pro plug-in) and I got the result as 2. Now this is not the only example to be astonished. @SEOcopy PR at that time was 2 and now it is 0 according to my plug-in. Now these result left me thinking which tool to trust.

Below is the conversation I had with SEOcopy. Some dialogues are missing I am sorry for that.

Situation: SEOcopy was talking about PR of Twitter Profile.

By Me: @ SEOcopy Each profile on Twitter has different PR. Mine is 0 yours is 2. I didn’t knew about it before.

Conversation Missing: SEOcopy told that you should link to your blog from your profile. It is nice way to get backlink.

By Me: @ SEOcopy I do link to my blog from my profile. Now thats a good idea to give your Blog quality backlink.

By Me: @ SEOcopy I have a plugin installed in IE called IE7 Pro. It says @ Burnsie_SEO has PR 0. How is that SEO Quake shows 3 and my plugin 0.

By SEOcopy: @ bloggeragent001 Good question that should give you an idea how important PR is..Not very important. It’s about Ego & less about ROI

By Me: @ SEOcopy Check my PR too. My plugin IE7 pro says it is 0.

DM to me by SEOcopy: Odd I see a PR2 lolol Funny thing with PR is one tool will tell you one thing while another tells you something different. not worth it

By Me: @ SEOcopy OK. I have a theory about the diff PR. It may be due to presence of Different Google Datacentres.

By Me: @ SEOcopy @ jagadeeshmp These diff tools are querying different Google Datacentres for PR. So we are getting diff PR. Whats your view?

By SEOcopy: @ bloggeragent001 Good theory since I have yet to comprehend how they can give diff PR depending on tools for the same page. Blahhh

In the above Twitter conversation you might have seen one more example where @Burnsie_SEO PR by my Plug in was 0 while by SEO Quake was 3. I tried to formulate one theory about this particular behavior. My theory is that these PR tools query different Google Data centers to get the PR. I may be wrong though but it’s just a theory. What do you think about this problem? Which tools do you use to determine Page Rank? What is the PR of your Twitter Profile? Do you link to your Blog from your Twitter Profile?
