Search Engine Optimisation: Felix and his amazing underpants!

Well I am called odd by all that know me, not least her indoors :) And you would'nt click my posts if I used crap titles would you?

So what's the SEO lesson for today then?

LINKS
LINKS

and more

LINKS

Yep whatever anyone tells you, at the moment links is the game my man. The more you have the higher you WILL rank! All talk of algorithms and keyword density blah blah is so much balderdash piffle and popycock!

However in a competitive market where your aiming for say

"internet marketing" or perhaps "web design" then you have to be much more technical with your on page optimisation techniques. Refine Refine Refine.

Oh yes and dont listen to so called "internet marketers" that tell you traffic isnt everything! What they FAIL to tell you is that for them with huge email lists it isnt but for you my friend it is because you dont happen to have lying around a huge list of previous buyers who drool over your every word :)

You have two options only, well maybe three but essentially PPC or SEO and then later when you have links you will get number three which is non search engine traffic from your links. Hmmm there might be a 4 which is hit exchanges but im not sure how much of that traffic translates to hard cash to be honest! Number 5 the email list only comes later once you have had the traffic (and sales)

I predict that this will change! The reason for this is because reciprocal links are not natural and the engines know this (they aint stupid) they know we are all AT IT like mad things! So they will adapt and then we will have to adapt back. It's a game. Learn to play it well and you will earn lots of money :) Dont play and noone will know your there!

Mark - you are funny and right... but how come no links in the post? :) - meg

HI Meg

Mark - Just noting that in that whole post you didn't link to anything... for example, another part of your site, or another site as an example. I find my blog helpful to build page rank on my other sites/blogs, and frequently inter-link. Perhaps I am just crazy to obsess so much - it just seemed logical that you would link from a post about linking,
Ok, another question, do you link to this page from other sites/blogs?
- thanks, Meg

Ah meg

Now I understand Meg. My Blog itself links to my whole site and as such my whole site gets spidered daily so I sometimes dont bother with specific in post links thats all.

As to whether I link to the blog from other sites? Yes in short. The blog has been heavily promoted and listed in ALL directorys and feed sites.

We are as you know undertaking our own SEO now and have already started coming up for some nice terms. I think we are page 7 for Niche marketing now in Yahoo and this will only get better as we improve our linking and on page stuff. Its all about work time and refinement with SEO. (and a few secrets of course :)

Mark... just giving you a hard time :) I can see you are well positioned and ranked.

I find that I tend to throw all my energy at my SEO customers and then miss a few months of tuning on my site just when google decides to change things up a bit. I just realized yesterday our main comapny site had slipped... (we also do web site design, development, SEO, internet marketing, hosting, etc. - over in Upstate New York)

I would love to pick your brain a bit though, no need to share any secrets, just as to how you think your blog helps your business... we are trying to market blogs as a vehicle to better traffic to main sites, but are looking for some solid success stories before we implement it.

Take Care, Meg.
