Does Your Site Need An SEO Checkup?



Google Spot!





Since Google launched its Panda Update earlier this
year and all the follow-up changes after it, many people
believe that your site’s SEO has become more important.

That your “on-page factors” must be right or as best
as they can possibly be.

This all has to do with the quality of your site and your
webpages. It seems like Google is more forcefully judging
that quality and your site now has to pass a few more hurdles
or it will be lowered in the rankings.

Regardless of Google, having all your SEO factors done
“right and proper” won’t hurt your site. The faster your
page or site loads helps everyone. Making your site
easier to find by the search engines and your visitors
helps everyone. Having your site or page fully optimized
also helps everyone.

Besides, knowing everything you can possibly know
about your site will also help you, especially when
it comes to SEO.

Wouldn’t it be good to know these things about
your site…


– Number of Backlinks?

– Keyword Density?

– Right Meta Tags?

– Do You Have A Sitemap?

– Are Your Images Optimized?

– Is Your HTML Compressed?

– Do You Have H1 Heading Tags?

– Is Your Site Protected From Hackers?

… and many more factors or issues which
could determine the quality of your site
in the eyes of the search engines, especially
Google.

While not perfect, here’s a nice free site
where you can quickly do an SEO Checkup.
They will not only show you what’s wrong, but
give you concrete ways to fix the problems.

I also find it helpful to check out my main
competition in close keyword battles, when your
number of backlinks are just about even, sometimes
just improving these small SEO issues can raise
your site above your competition.

Google’s Panda Update and SEO

Google’s Panda Update and SEO




Google Marketing Spot!




Whenever Google does a major update to their extremely
complex algorithm, the mathematical formula which runs
their search engines and rankings, we have winners and
losers.

Most often it is the losers you hear about… crying
foul that the Big G is treating them unfairly with
the latest changes. Panda, which also has been dubbed
Farmer Update by many, since it supposedly deals with
“content farms” and “low quality” sites – has created
a lot of fallout.

But does new changes affect how you do your SEO?

Well, yes and no. Producing great original unique
content should still the main goal of any website,
and this has not changed.

What has changed is that webmasters must take
some steps to ensure their content is not “judged”
or “seen” as a content farm or of low quality.
In other words, you can have great content but
if it is splattered with ads and banners… this
could affect your SEO and rankings, at least within
Google.

In the same light, if your great content is poorly
presented with hard to read text… poor navigation
and loads very slowly, your great content can be
penalized by Google. You must give the searcher
coming from Google a good visitor experience or they
can lower your rankings.

Google has been very open to what they expect on your
site… but this hasn’t stopped the losers of this
recent update from complaining. In some cases, their
arguments are justified, they have been wronged, but
in many situations, the lowering of rankings worked
properly – not exactly what some webmasters want
to hear.

Google now be judging your whole site, rather than
each webpage separately. This is very important because
a few low-quality pages on your site, could lower your
overall site’s rankings… ouch!

You could have 90% excellent content but have 10% that’s
downright crappy – so it’s time to clean up your site
and present to visitors ONLY great content.

Now, I have written 10 extra points on the new update
which you should consider following. A lot of these
are standard SEO tactics which you should be using
anyway. Others are slanted to reflect this new
Panda Update.

Google at Warp Speed – Does Google Instant Change SEO or Online Marketing?

Google at Warp Speed – Does Google Instant Change SEO or Online Marketing?





Does the introduction of Google Instant Search
really change how one markets online…


The introduction of Google Instant took me by complete surprise, even
though I knew they were playing around with the logo in some very strange ways, I
still didn’t expect such a novel change to how they displayed their SERPs.

The speed was truly blinding, not to mention somewhat confusing at
first until you quickly got used to it. Experiencing Instant Search
for the first time sent shivers down my spine and probably not for the
reasons you’re thinking.

As a full-time online marketer, Google directly or indirectly, accounts
for around 80% of my online income.

Any changes within Google, even small ones, can sometimes have devastating
effects on that income. Such a major change as Google Instant may have long-lasting effects and may even be a total game-changer in regards to SEO and
online marketing.

At least that was my first gut reaction, but calmer heads do prevail after
the initial shock of this warp speed search wore off. For me, it is all about
the numbers – traffic numbers, subscriptions, page impression numbers, click-thru
numbers and of course, the most vital of all – sales numbers.

Throughout yesterday and today, I kept monitoring those numbers as if my livelihood
depended upon it, which it does. Thankfully, what I saw and am seeing does not
cause me to be alarmed – it’s business as usual. There is not much difference,
actually my subscription, traffic and sales numbers are up slightly since Google Instant
has gone live.

Of course, Google Live is only available in some countries yet so the full impact
can’t really be judged, but first impressions have me a little relieved. From
those first impressions, I don’t believe Google Instant will drastically change
SEO or even online marketing.

Sitepronews has a very good discussion of this question on their site, it might
be worth your while to get second opinions on this issue.

Does Google Instant Mark The End of SEO?


There are even some people saying it will kill SEO, which is totally ridiculous
in my opinion, any webmaster can still optimize his site/content to rank at the
top of Google. How and at what speed Google chooses to display those top listings
doesn’t really stop the flow of targeted traffic to your site – it actually speeds
up that flow of traffic.

Which can be very good news for those who have those top rankings in Google,
your listings will instantly appear, even before the searcher has finished
typing your targeted keyword phrase. More power to Google and to you!

Some observers are saying Google is displaying too many top brands in their
results – or they are favoring the top brands. I have seen this happen in many
of my own keyword phrases but to be fair, these top brands have not completely
dominated Google’s listings. If they did, I and a lot of other small-time
online marketers would have been driven out of business years ago.

Google seems to have found a balance or perhaps they’re just displaying
the true rankings which come to them from their many different ranking
systems and countless rules… stranger things have happened. These brand
names are becoming more important in Google, but in the back of my mind,
I am figuring this is because large multi-national companies are finally
seeing the true benefits of SEO and are putting more of their resources
into getting those top spots in Google.

As for Google Instant, it will benefit sites and marketers who have
those top listings in Google. It will display their listings much faster
and bring those visitors much quicker. Or at least those are my first impressions
but it will take days, even weeks before the full ramifications of Google
Instant will have on web surfers and how they do their searching.

I am such there will have to minor tweaking to your SEO and some adjustments
to your online marketing, but for now it seems like business as usual and
it’s all keywords on deck, or rather at the top of Google.
