Google & Matt Cutts Lie Again!!
Link Sales Are Fine After All
I checked today and the selling link spanking must be over.
Matt Cutts in an e-mail to Loren Baker clearly stated that Google was giving out PageRank reductions for selling links.
Matt Cutts to Loren Baker: The partial update to visible PageRank that went out a few days ago was primarily regarding PageRank selling and the forward links of sites. So paid links that pass PageRank would affect our opinion of a site.
Do a search on Google for ’sell text links”
Sounds ominous doesn’t it? Makes lots of people scared. But in all actuality it is simply Google Propaganda.
I found a lot of sites in the organic results and in the paid results with high PR and there are sites listed in the organic positions 1 to 10.
So whats going on?
Take a look at these sites.

http://www.linkworth.com/ PR5 Organic
http://www.authoritydomains.com/ PR 5 Sells via Adwords
http://www.textlinkbrokers.com/ PR3 Organic
Google is the mother of all corporate propaganda boys and girls and it’s high time we put a stop to it.
I guarantee this is a ploy to move the stock market in their favor.
More to come…

Okay one thing you need to be aware of is the fact that many so called SEOs (cough) are not capable of SEO for terms with competitive pages of 1,000,000 or more.
This company for example seo-1-marketing-services.com/company.htm claims to have 15 years of SEO experience…yet you cannot find the site in the top 100 results for seo keyword terms and you would have to think that a site with 15 years SEO experience would be at the top of Google.
Another issue is it is 2007 and 15 years ago 1992 few sites were online and I am not sure a search engine existed at the time, certainly nobody had heard of SEO.
The other reason you should be aware of so called wolves in SEO clothing, is a little research goes a long way in detecting bullshit.

15 years experience and yet the site was created less than 6 months ago…….
It’s the BS Zone and were not having it boys and girls!!
Here’s some more, the same SEO company cannot write about SEO itself it needs to hire someone to do it for them.

I need 15 Internet Marketing/SEO Articles Rewriten
Basically it will be be covering general internet marketing/webdesign/SEO concepts and be written on a “how-to/guide”
(See: http://ezinearticles.com/editorial-guidelines.html )fashion so that it tells the reader enough to help them understand the direction of their strategy to improve the traffic of the readers’ site and position me as an expert to motivate them to use my services.
Well if an SEO needs to be positioned as an expert I have to wonder how much of an SEO the person is.
This would be like going to an auto mechanic for your mint condition 1963 Chevy Corvette and him telling you he is an expert Mechanic and finding out he knows nothing about cars and hires a guy from the neighborhood who restores classic cars as a hobby.
Always talk to prospect SEOs first via IM or phone, and find proof of front page results on all three major search engines for keyword phrases of two words or less.
Title Tag
One of the most important things you can do to rank well in the Google organic search results, is to be sure every page of your website has a different title tag<title>.
Here is the title tag from my website Sem-Advance.com home page
<title>Internet Marketing Search Marketing Optimization Promotion By Clint ;-></title>
As you can see my title tag focuses on my primary keyword term - Internet Marketing and my secondary term Search Marketing and uses related terms Optimization & Promotion.
Now if you visit the Natural Search Results page you will see the <title> tag reads;
<Title>Natural Search Results Listings Search Engine Marketing By Clint ;-></Title>
It uses the theme of the page and primary keyword term I would be targeting for Google rankings Natural Search Results and my secondary term Search Engine Marketing which ties it back to the index page title tag Search Marketing.
Another thing I have done is added some other high competition keyword terms to the title tag using just one word which is ‘listings’
If you take the words ‘Search Results’ from the primary keyword phrase Natural Search Results, and add ‘Listings’ the new phrase is “Search Results Listings” and two additional terms “Search Results” and “Results Listings” are built.
By building anchor text links using my keyword terms, and pointing them to this page, it is possible the one page could rank for between 1 and 5 different keyword phrases on the major search engines.
That is what I call the Weed & Seed SEO technique. Hope you enjoyed!
Keyword Research
One of the first things anyone should do when thinking of having a website optimized or completing SEO for your own website is keyword research.
Without the proper time spent in research of targeted keyword terms you could waste months or even years chasing the wrong consumers or possibly a keyword few people use to do a search.
Here are two tools I recommend to be used for keyword research.
Keyword Discovery
WordTracker
