MSN Versus Google

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.

Competitive SEO Evaluations:

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.

Top Ten Tips for Getting Backlinks to Your Website

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.

How I Made 78 Cents On Squidoo!

Don’t laugh, this is not as insignificant as you might think at first glance. Not by a long shot.
Actually, it is quite significant.

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.

3 Must-Have Website Features that Convert Visitors into Customers

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.

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.

How to reduce risk when you start up online

‘Fail fast and fail cheap’ is a piece of advice that’s embedded in Internet culture. It’s also a piece of advice that many Internet entrepreneurs and established businesses fail to fully understand.

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.
