Private: Top 10 Results On Sear Engines. What Difference Do They Make?

Started by Vlad Zablotskyy · 1 year ago

Today, not without influence of people like Seth Godin, many people say that search engine optimization is a waste of time. I think it is based on misunderstanding of what SEO really is. This misunderstanding is often a result of negative users experience as far as relevancy of the search result ... Continue reading »

    Absolutely! SEO is all about the "O"- optimization! that is being clear to dumb bots what the topic is so it has the best chances of indexing it correctly.

    Check out the eye tracking research at www.enquiroresearch.com, the Google Golden Triangle study in particular.

    You're absolutely right, that once you fall of the first page you're kind of toast if it's not a high traffic keyword.

    Many people do the SEO only concentrate on the SERP. I do agreed that SEPR might bring you the trafic but not the quality link

    This is so true, and will remain relevant for a long time. If you are redesigning your website you should definitely find a designer who is at least a little keen on SEO. I have been looking into this lately and I couldn't agree more with the post. Also, right now sites built using Flash, while they may look really cool, are not really able to be read by the search engines. A little research can really help your cause. Thanks also for the analytics tool!

    Thanks for stopping by. I can't agree more with you regarding Flash designs. While you can take extra steps to make a Flash website SEO friendly, I think it's just unnecessary. Specially with the abundance of Content Management Systems out there.

    If you have time take a look at Hittail.com as well I have been using it for last two years with a great success.

    Again, thanks for stopping by.

    Vlad,

    thanks for the tip on HitTail- it looks like it could be a good tool, and I'm always looking for ways to help my site stay relevant on the search engines!

    Kelli,

    I use paid version of Hittail, but I believe that they may still have a free
    version. I would advise you to star with that.

    I think you have positioned your website well, if I had to offer you a
    suggestion it would be to start a BLOG - coincidently it is also acronym to
    Better Listings On Google... :)

    I've always told people this! Great post! Furthermore, if you can claim a spot in the top 3 listings, you will get 50% more clicks.

    Jeff,

    I think it is also important to understand that one should target the "long tale" keywords to begin with.

    Thanks for stopping by.
