                    The 
                  Changing Face of Search Engine Optimization 
                  by Bobby Heard
                  
 
                  Abstract: With the ever evolving internet market for 
                  just about anything you can imagine and Googles index 
                  growing to almost 9 billion pages, and counting, there is little 
                  dispute amongst search engine optimizers that our job is getting 
                  much harder. From linking to articles, and density to ontology, 
                  our industry changes as fast as any other. The search engines, 
                  especially Google, seem to be on a daily diet of change and 
                  their algorithm seems to be growing at the rate of their index.

                    Would 
                  You Let A Dog Or A Butler Market Your Website? 
                  by Michael Cheney 
                   
                  Abstract: The latest news to hit the Internet's 'water 
                  cooler' is that Lycos and Ask Jeeves are to begin their own 
                  SEO services. Search engine optimisation (or SEO) is any practice 
                  related to the end goal of improving your websites positioning 
                  in the search engines. The brief history of SEO is that it first 
                  started out solely as the remit of the developers themselves. 
                  This was back in the day when one person designed, built, maintained, 
                  hosted and marketed a website. Read

                    Google's 
                  New SEO Rules 
                  by John Metzler 
                   
                  Abstract: Google has recently made some pretty significant 
                  changes in its ranking algorithm. The latest update, dubbed 
                  by Google forum users as "Allegra", has left some 
                  web sites in the dust and catapulted others to top positions. 
                  Major updates like this can happen a few times a year at Google, 
                  which is why picking the right search engine optimization company 
                  can be the difference between online success and failure. However, 
                  it becomes an increasingly difficult decision when SEO firms 
                  themselves are suffering from the Allegra update. Read

                    What 
                  to Look for when Shopping for an SEO Specialist 
                  by Joe Balestrino 
                   
                  Abstract: When, shopping for a Search Engine Optimization 
                  (SEO) company/specialist you need to be aware of a few things. 
                  If someone offers you fast results they may be pulling your 
                  leg. If you aren’t listed on search engines the average 
                  time to be index takes around 4 weeks. Someone offering submissions 
                  in less then that is coning you. Websites that are already listed 
                  and are just being updated will have a faster result.

                    To 
                  Pay or Not to Pay for Professional SEO Services 
                  by Matthias V. Pupillo 
                   
                  Abstract: All websites need to be professionally search 
                  engine optimized (SEO). It is one of the most overlooked services 
                  even though it is one of the most needed and critical to a successful 
                  website. Without professional search engine optimization a website 
                  can not receive free search engine traffic. Another reason a 
                  web designer must select a professional seo company is because 
                  of the nature of search, an amateur can not keep up with all 
                  of the changes. Finally, the cost of professional search engine 
                  optimization is much less over the long run than marketing a 
                  website. All web site owners need to hire a professional search 
                  engine optimizer. Read

                  Back to Basics in SEO 
                  by Shawn Campbell 
                   
                  Abstract: There has been a lot of talk about Google and 
                  MSN's new algorithms and Yahoo's search engine changes. When 
                  these changes finally do occur, it is always important to remember 
                  the number one rule in SEO: DON'T PANIC! Read

                  for beginners 
                  by Lee Rixon 
                   
                  Abstract: I had a learned marketing friend of mine comment 
                  that the information on SEO on our blog was ok for a propeller-head, 
                  but didnt really help a business owner, so this article 
                  is intended to set the stage for information contained in the 
                  related articles. Read More 
                    
                   
                   
                    SEO 
                  and the Title Tag 
                  by Dave Felts 
                   
                  Abstract: The Title Tag not only communicates the theme 
                  of your web page to the human visitors but is also considered 
                  very important by the Search Engine crawlers. The Title Tag 
                  is the most important of all Tags. Almost all crawler based 
                  search engines use the Title Tag to gather information about 
                  the page. Search engines use your Title Tag to evaluate the 
                  page's relevance to its content, inbound links, outbound links, 
                  alt tags, and a host of other factors. A carefully constructed 
                  Title Tag can have a large positive impact on your page's ranking 
                  with the search engines. Read More |
