We know you’ve been waiting minutes, hours, and even days for the release of the Rock Em Sock Em Robot’s Fight from the SES conference. You can all rest better now because the much-anticipated rumble is up and ready for your enjoyment.

The first battle begins with a match-up between MSN’s Kelly Thomas and Yahoo’s Jim Lampley. By winning the best two of the three rounds, MNS takes the victory and is ready to take on reigning champion Vanessa Fox of Google, who won the sumo wrestling championship fight at the SES conference in San Jose.

It is common for Web sites to rank very well for certain keywords but not very well for others. This makes sense since the competitive landscape changes from one keyword phrase to the next. There may be 300,000 search results for keyword A and 1,000,000 search results for keyword B. Presumably, it would be harder to outrank a million results than three hundred thousand, but this is not always the case. There may be a greater number of optimized pages in the smaller results set, making it more competitive than the largër set.
While it is nice to know why a certain keyword phrase is more competitive than another phrase, it does not really help us formulate an SEO strategy to rank well for that keyword.

If you have just started an internet home business opportunity with a duplicate (look-a-like) website, then it is the first task to do is search engine optimization (SEO). SEO is what internet home business owners use to get their websites to rank high with the major search engines in order to get traffic from them and boost sales. Because more than 90% of the traffic will come directly from the major search engines Google, Yahoo or MSN search results, effective SEO is of vital importance for every online home business owners.

Many people involved in SEO marketing quite often forget that getting your site right to the top of the top ten results for your targeted keyword phrase is only half the job done. There are a number of issues that will still end up impacting tremendously on the final results that you achieve. These issues are as important if not more so than all the wonderful SEO work you will have done up to that point.

Thinking of outsourcing your reciprocal linking? Think again. There are more benefits to linking than just getting links. Consider doing at least some work yourself.

First let’s make a master list, all the usual ways we can think of to get quality, relevant links back to a website.

1. Fill out a form or email a webmaster, asking for a reciprocal link.
We’ll assume for the purpose of clarity that we mean exchanging links to post to a traditional directory page.

2. Deep linking.
You embed your partner’s link into relevant text on a page other than your directory page, and your partner does the same with your link.

Here’s why: making any amount of monëy on the web from a free site is quite rare.

At least this has been my experience. Others will no doubt disagree and argue otherwise, but I have found very few free sites worth pursuing. Google’s Blogspot using Adsense is the only other exception that readily comes to mind.
Not that I haven’t tried looking for these free sites in the past. When I first started exploring the web around 10 years ago I tried out a lot of foolish ‘make-monëy’ sites like getting paid to read emails, paid-to-surf… etc.

Recently I had a conversation with a voiceover expert who had paid a good chunk of change to Google for his Adwords campaign. His complaint? He got lots of traffic (and paid Google for lots of clicks) but none of them turned into clients, or even into prospective clients, for that matter. I took a quick look at his website and quickly realized his problem — a major website sin committed by online business owners everywhere. He expected that the visitors to his site would take him up on his invitation to contact him immediately to hire him upon learning about his services.

Let’s strip away that idea of failing, for a moment. Let’s modify it to ‘launch fast and cheap’. Many small businesses and start-ups soon get carried away with launching and lose sight of how they should be spending their budget.
