Is Google Wave Beneficial to SEO?

Internet User’s these days are going crazy over Google’s latest cutting edge communication tool, Google Wave. And millions of users are eager to test this new web communications platform. It is coded in JAVA OpenJDK and trendy interface called Google Web Toolkit. It is amazing and innovative but no one seems to be talking about its impact to SEO or search engine optimization service.

Google Wave has 8 important features and will be able to provide the following:
•    Real – time communication between users
•    Embeddability
•    Applications and extensions
•    Wiki functionality
•    Open Source code
•    Wave playback
•    Natural language correction
•    Drag and drop file sharing

These are promising helpful features and have potential to knock off twitter and would likely put google up with facebook as one of its useful social networks in the internet today. And about SEO, threaded conversations similar to a forum would provide SEO since forum threads are beneficial to SEO purposes. It is possible that google wave could end up being a web-based application rather than intra-based application.

Google applications and gadgets could provide SEO benefit. But If you allow webmasters to place your google wave applications on their site then you’ll get a link back. Google wave also provides Wiki functionality too.

Bottomline is that Google Wave is definitely not an effective SEO tool, and I don’t think most of the web developers and webmasters will find ways to improve its SEO functionality. It’s a matter of time to update the tool making it the best search engine marketing in the web today.

Guide In Promoting Websites

Most website owners spend more time in developing and designing a new website before submitting it to a web server for public views. You may have the right combination of colors and design, plus an interactive and interesting site but how do you let people know your business is there?

Search engine optimization is the key to make your site visible to the public. A simple way of doing successful search engine optimization is link building. It is a powerful strategy to let people know that your web site does exist.

The most familiar method of link building is social bookmarking. Promoting a web site by leaving a link or bookmark at social marking sites. It is the process which you leave your URL, title, description and tags about your site. These social sites are visible to search engines.

If you have products and services, being active in question and answer sites is one of the easiest way to promote your site. You can get in touch with other people by showing that you are an expert on a particular topic. Give an intelligent answer and leave a link that makes your site as a source. Being active in forums and blog helps your site to interact with different websites. Sharing ideas and opinions will make your site as a reference to others.

Making a video tutorial for services offered is also an effective way of promoting a website. Video streaming sites such as youtube and crunchyroll have more traffic than plain text sites. The more traffic, the greater the chance your site will be visible.
Promoting a website does not end here. There are other several techniques that can be used in search engine optimization.

Black Hat SEO: Doorway Pages Technique

In order to get higher search rankings, website owners are tempted to apply black hat SEO on their sites. There are many black hat techniques that you can use to optimize your site. One of the known methods is the creation of Doorway Pages.

So what are Doorway Pages and how is it done? Doorway Pages are also called ghost pages or fake pages. They are used to get your page indexed easily by Google. There are invisible page intended just for optimization. Usually, it is just a simple HTML page filled with keywords and phrases that targets internet crawlers and engine spiders. With keyword rich pages, there is a big tendency that web spiders will mistake it as relevant and credible for a certain topic.

However, internet crawlers and search engine spiders are more intelligent and intuitive these days. As such, spiders are now ignoring doorway pages and getting your sites banned because of use. Though there is still a chance for your site to get high ranks out of this endeavor, it probably won’t stay as is for long.

Having doorway pages will necessitate you to update every keyword and phrase you use that is related to the hottest keywords of the day. This will include Meta tags, which you need to fill up in higher density. Doorway pages are very tiring to maintain then. But if you’re willing to do that work on doorway pages, why not use up your energy on the correct SEO techniques and optimize your site in an ethical manner.

Since website owners often have dilemmas over their site’s lack of keyword dense content and effective Meta tags, they will be tempted to buy a software which will aid them in creating doorway pages. My only advice is, instead of wasting money on a strategy that will only lead your site to banishment, the best thing to do is to hire someone who specializes on SEO to optimize your site. Aside from assuring yourself of safe, quality optimization services, you will also be saving you and your site form a whole lot of trouble.

On page and off page optimization

I’m sure that you’ve come across the terms “on page” and “off page” optimization before. In this blog, I would like to point out the important facts regarding each of these two Search engine optimization techniques. First we start with on page. This is actually the first step of search engine optimization and basically involves the structure and content of a website. Search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing usually maintain a huge database of websites which a user can access by typing specific keyword on the search box located in every single search engine page. To manage this database and keep it organized and responsive to search queries, search engines rely on programs called robots and spiders. These programs crawl across the web,  from site to site, inspecting and indexing each site as they visit. And in doing such, robots follow a unique set of criterions mandated by search engines. To be index in the right category, the correct page structure and strategy should be applied. Here are some On page structures that site owners must pay careful attention to for optimization.
•    Alt Tags
•    Image, multimedia, content placement
•    Title tag placement
•    Meta tag description
•    Keywords In url names
Having done all of the on page optimization activities, its now time to market your website. This is where off page optimization is called for. Off page optimization is a search engine optimization strategy that is done externally to the webpage. Gone are the days that television and radio are the only mediums of advertising. Off page optimization involves social bookmarking, press releases, directory submission and many more. Through this, the site gets more traffic directed its way and consequently gets higher page ranking and search engine visibility. It is clear why off page is important. It is another way to make your website popular.

Keyword Research

Keyword research is the process of finding the right keywords for ad campaigns. This process requires keyword tools such as Google Adwords and is generally done to help businesses find the right keywords to attract an even greater number of potential customers.

According to Google Adwords, keyword research tools are important and helpful in three situations:

• When you first create a new group;
• When your current keywords are performing poorly and you need to find better options, and;
• When you have one keyword that really works well and want to find more like it.

Keyword research tools make it easier for advertisers and website owners to identify competitive keywords related to their business. In Adwords, for example, finding the right sets of keywords is simple and easy to do. Keyword researchers can generate competitive keywords based on their site content. Though this method, a researcher is able to access the URL of the business website. Adwords then automatically scans the website and suggests relevant keywords.

Now perhaps you are asking if keyword research really works. Without batting an eyelash, I will proclaim that it really does. Keywords research helps businesses increase leads and sales in the online market.

A keyword research tool provides an estimated search volume for a keyword phrase. It also provides an estimated number of competitors for every keyword phrase. Keyword research also offers Keyword Effective Index or KEI and estimated Cost per Click (CPC) figures which can help online entrepreneurs decide on the keywords to use for their website.
