			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody">
<p>For most web surfers Search engines are the gateway to the Internet; they are the first tool your potential customers are likely to use to find the products and services they need. So part of your internet marketing strategy must be improving your search rankings. Increasingly search engines are looking at Link Popularity to measure the worth of your site. This is why link popularity is so crucial to climbing up the search engine results.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Search engines are discretionary, giving status and ranking to sites that have links to their pages from related, quality sites. It&#8217;s a simple formula, but a very important one. More links to your site from &#8216;authority sites&#8217; = greater link popularity = higher position in search engine results. Google created the system, and now virtually all the most popular search engines employ it to rank your web pages in their indexes.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The more commonly used your keyword is, the harder it will be to achieve link popularity, but without achieving this step, it is almost certain your site will never rank highly on any search engine. But don&#8217;t be discouraged; there are tried and true ways of achieving link popularity using the most competitive keywords.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
There are a few things you should be aware of. The first is that just linking up with a large number of other websites will not achieve link popularity. In fact, it may have quite the opposite effect. This is particularly true when pertaining to websites that are nothing more than &#8216;link farms&#8217; &#8211; pages containing line after line of indiscriminate links. Search engines may aggressively discriminate against your website if you are associated with a link farm, so steer clear of them!</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The next thing to bear in mind is the quality of the site you are linking to. Never link to a page you have reservations about your visitors seeing. The last thing you want your website to appear as is indiscriminate and cheap. Linking to sites of poor quality will only lessen your link popularity, if not completely destroy it.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
So let&#8217;s get to what you need to do to achieve supreme link popularity and improve your rankings to stellar status on all the popular search engines.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The first step, and the fastest way to get your foot in the door, is to get a listing in a popular directory, such as Open Directory Project and Yahoo. If your site is business-related, you will want to be listed on Yahoo, and despite the fact that it will cost you around $300 a year, it will be money well spent. If your site is non-commercial, the listing will be free, but it will take time and follow-up to actually get it listed. Open Directory gives you a free listing whether you are business-related or non-commercial, but be prepared to make a lot of follow-up inquiries before you see your site listed.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
You are aiming to get listed in the highest level of appropriate category, and this just takes some common sense. For example, if your company ships Alpaca wool from an Alpaca farm located in the middle of Nowhere, Tiny State, do NOT submit your listing to &#8216;Retailers from Nowhere, Tiny State.&#8217; BIG MISTAKE! All you have to do is look a little deeper and submit your listing to the &#8216;Fine Alpaca Wool&#8217; category. You will not only associate yourself with culture and quality, but you will be listed in a national category.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The next step after you have attained directory listings is to locate other quality sites that will increase your link popularity. Try to find sites that are in some way related to yours, so not only will your link popularity increase, but your customer base may also be expanded. You want to avoid your competitors and look for sites that are useful to your site&#8217;s visitors. Let&#8217;s look at the Alpaca Wool site example. Linking up to a site that sells knitting supplies would be helpful to your visitors, and the chances of the knitting supply site wanting to link up to your site are also greater. By linking to a related site that will be relevant to your website&#8217;s traffic, you are increasing both of your site&#8217;s business prospects and both of your sites&#8217; link popularity.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Not all sites want to link to other sites, so you will have to do some research when you are looking for possible linking partners. Google is an excellent starting place for your search. Make sure you enter keywords that you think quality customers will also enter to find your own site. Remember, your criteria are quality, highly ranked, non-competing websites that have a links or resources page. Go to these sites and objectively assess them. Look at the quality of the product, the graphics, and the ease of use. Then check out the other sites they are linked to, and determine if your own site would fit in with the crowd.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
When you decide you have found a good prospect, you must set out to woo them. The first thing to do is to add a link on your own links page to their site. This is an essential first step; it shows good faith, and ups your chances significantly of their reciprocity. After you have added their link, you must contact the webmaster of their site. Since this is almost always done by email, you want to make sure it is immediately clear that your message is not junk mail. This requires that you tell them right off the bat that you have added a link to their page on your site. A hook like this almost always insures the reader will read on.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Next, be sure to be flattering and let them know how much you appreciate their website. Make sure you emphasize that you have actually visited their site, and that their site is not just a random pick. Give them the address of your links page, and ask them to check out the link for themselves. It&#8217;s a good idea to mention that they will not only benefit from the increased traffic your website will direct their way, but you will also increase their link popularity. Briefly, explain why link popularity is so essential, but do this in a sentence or two so you don&#8217;t sound like a professor! Finally, tell them you would greatly appreciate if they would reciprocally add a link on their own links page to your website.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Go through this process with as many appropriate sites as you can find, bearing in mind the criteria of quality and non-competitiveness. After you have emailed all relevant sites, be sure to check these website frequently to see if they have added a link to your page. Give it about a month, and if no link appears, try another charming email. Then give it another month, and if your site is still absent from their links page, it&#8217;s time to remove their link from your own links page. The only time you want to pursue a link further than this is if you believe a site is crucial to your link popularity and your business needs. Just remember to keep all your communications complimentary and cordial.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Then set up a schedule to check your ranking in search engines frequently to see if your link popularity has improved. This is not achievable in the blink of an eye. It will take some time and a good deal of work. There is no way around the labor-intensive quality of improving your link popularity, which is why search engines regard it with such importance.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
By the way, make sure you have a beautiful, streamlined site or you will never persuade anyone to link up to you. Be prepared to keep plugging away at this process, as long as it takes, until you achieve link popularity stardom!</p>

<p>As the world economy experiences a gloomy backdrop and continues to be on the brink of recession, its time to position yourself to a stand where you can still hope to profit from the recession.</p>
<p>There are several options you can consider to rise up in the shrinking economy, but an option that can really show remarkable results in every stage of your business lifecycle is search engine optimization.</p>
<p>SEO offers a platform for corporates, entrepreneurs, as well as individuals to promote their products and services across the web by helping them rank on top of search engines. The real essence of SEO is to ensure that profitable results are achieved regardless of the financial crises broadening and intensifying at every stage and suffocating the global economy.</p>
<p>Amidst all this, the point to focus is the SEO company one might open doors for as their solution provider. It may be a cake walk to hire one in no time, but, definitely not when you have to make sure the genuineness of the company which is a must.</p>
<p>With the right choice of an SEO company to work for you on an ongoing basis, you can expect better search engine rankings, which in turn compliment your SEO efforts with increased traffic. Long term sustainability and profitability are two factors that any company or individual will look forward to, and this is precisely what SEO can achieve if done the right way.</p>
<p>SEO done on a continual basis can help you beat your competition and gain more visibility and exposure by showing on the top of SERPs. Increased visibility creates more awareness about your website or blog and drives more targeted traffic which would otherwise be lost without SEO. Search engine optimization can help you plunge into a more comfortable zone by penetrating your target market and making the most out of your advertising dollars.</p>
<p>During economic recession, advertisers are more bound to find different means (online and offline) of advertising and promoting their products and services in order to sustain their business. However, these offline marketing mediums require a huge amount of money to promote a brand which may not be feasible for every person. It is at this point where one can hope to cash in on SEO which provides an opportunity to make all ends meet with affordable costs that are way less than offline marketing mediums.</p>
<p>If you are still considering your options to beat the global recession, its time to move forward with hiring an SEO professional who can potentially improve your ranking, performance, and save you time. However, it is important that you do not risk your company&#8217;s success with SEO practises that are questionable. Therefore, you must conduct a thorough research on SEO companies to avoid any damage some of them can cause to you by employing unethical techniques that are penalized by search engines.</p>
<p>So make your hiring decision today! Spot your SEO company, relieve yourself of the economic backdrop that can or has affected your performance and look over to the greener side of the fence &#8211; SEO Traffic Spider &#8211; a solution provider for all your SEO needs.</p>

<p>Are you constantly blogging but the numbers you see in your traffic logs are embarrassingly low? It can be maddening to check your stats and realize that no one is actually stopping by. Don&#8217;t give up yet, because there are four great ways you can get traffic fast.</p>
<p><strong>Traffic Tip #1: Do Your Keyword Research</strong></p>
<p>Many bloggers make the mistake of thinking they can just throw some posts up there and expect to get traffic. There is a lot more to it than that! You need to make sure you are looking at the keyword data to find terms that are getting a lot of searches. Ideally, you want these terms to have low competition so it&#8217;s easier for you to rank. Once you start basing your posts around these kinds of keywords you should find that you&#8217;re getting a lot more traffic.</p>
<p><strong>Traffic Tip #2: Write Enticing Articles Off-Site</strong></p>
<p>Submitting to article directories isn&#8217;t just a good way to get backlinks to your site, it&#8217;s also a great way to get readers! Sites like EzineArticles.com have their own readership of people who are looking for the exact topic you&#8217;re blogging about. If you write a compelling article that leads into your resource box, people will be enticed to visit your blog.</p>
<p><strong>Traffic Tip #3: Give People a Reason to Come Back</strong></p>
<p>Getting traffic in the first place is one thing, but what you want to do as a blogger is have them coming back over and over again. The best way to do this is to create special offers or exciting events. For example, you can give away a prize each week to the new people who subscribed to your list or your feed. You can also run a contest for people who leave answers as comments on your blog posts. Make your blog a happening place to be and people will want to visit often and tell their friends.</p>
<p><strong>Traffic Tip #4: Create Linkbait</strong></p>
<p>Linkbait is when you write a blog post that is so exciting or controversial it gets people to come to your blog, comment, and link to the post. You may share some shocking news or offer an opinion you know is bound to stir people&#8217;s emotions. You do need to have thick skin when you write linkbait! Don&#8217;t expect everyone to agree with your opinion.</p>
<p>An example of linkbait is going the opposite way everyone else goes. For instance, imagine you have an electronics blog and you decide to review the iPhone. After reviewing the product you decide you don&#8217;t like it. You then write to tell your readers why. Since this was a product everyone was gaga over when it first came out the chances are good you would have gotten a strong reaction right off the bat.</p>
<p>There you have it! These are four solid ways you can start to increase the traffic on your blog as soon as possible. When you put these methods to work you&#8217;ll realize that the secrets to getting great traffic were in front of you the whole time.</p>

<p>&#13;<br />

farms&#8221; &#8211; pages containing line after line of indiscriminate<br />&#13;<br />
links. Search engines may aggressively discriminate against<br />&#13;<br />
your website if you are associated with a link farm, so<br />&#13;<br />
steer clear of them!</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The next thing to bear in mind is the quality of the site<br />&#13;<br />
you are linking to. Never link to a page you have<br />&#13;<br />
reservations about your visitors seeing. The last thing you<br />&#13;<br />
want your website to appear as is indiscriminate and cheap.<br />&#13;<br />
Linking to sites of poor quality will only lessen your link<br />&#13;<br />
popularity, if not completely destroy it.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
So let&#8217;s get to what you need to do to achieve supreme link<br />&#13;<br />
popularity and improve your rankings to stellar status on<br />&#13;<br />
all the popular search engines.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The first step, and the fastest way to get your foot in the<br />&#13;<br />
door, is to get a listing in a popular directory, such as<br />&#13;<br />
Open Directory Project and Yahoo. If your site is<br />&#13;<br />
business-related, you will want to be listed on Yahoo, and<br />&#13;<br />
despite the fact that it will cost you around $300 a year,<br />&#13;<br />
it will be money well spent. If your site is<br />&#13;<br />
non-commercial, the listing will be free, but it will take<br />&#13;<br />
time and follow-up to actually get it listed. Open<br />&#13;<br />
Directory is gives you a free listing whether you are<br />&#13;<br />
business-related or non-commercial, but be prepared to make<br />&#13;<br />
a lot of follow-up inquiries before you see your site<br />&#13;<br />
listed.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
You are aiming to get listed in the highest level of<br />&#13;<br />
appropriate category, and this just takes some common<br />&#13;<br />
sense. For example, if your company ships Alpaca wool from<br />&#13;<br />
an Alpaca farm located in the middle of Nowhere, Tiny<br />&#13;<br />
State, do NOT submit your listing to &#8220;Retailers from<br />&#13;<br />
Nowhere, Tiny State.&#8221; BIG MISTAKE! All you have to do is<br />&#13;<br />
look a little deeper &#8211; and submit your listing to the &#8220;Fine<br />&#13;<br />
Alpaca Wool&#8221; category. You will not only associate yourself<br />&#13;<br />
with culture and quality, but you will be listed in a<br />&#13;<br />
national category.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The next step after you have attained directory listings is<br />&#13;<br />
to locate other quality sites that will increase your link<br />&#13;<br />
popularity. Try to find sites that are in some way related<br />&#13;<br />
to yours, so not only will your link popularity increase,<br />&#13;<br />
but your customer base may also be expanded. You want to<br />&#13;<br />
avoid your competitors and look for sites that are useful<br />&#13;<br />
to your site&#8217;s visitors. Let&#8217;s look at the Alpaca Wool site<br />&#13;<br />
example. Linking up to a site that sells knitting supplies<br />&#13;<br />
would be helpful to your visitors, and the chances of the<br />&#13;<br />
knitting supply site wanting to link up to your site are<br />&#13;<br />
also greater. By linking to a related site that will be<br />&#13;<br />
relevant to your website&#8217;s traffic, you are increasing both<br />&#13;<br />
of your site&#8217;s business prospects &#8211; and both of your sites&#8217;<br />&#13;<br />
link popularity.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Not all sites want to link to other sites, so you will have<br />&#13;<br />
to do some research when you are looking for possible<br />&#13;<br />
linking partners. Google is an excellent starting place for<br />&#13;<br />
your search. Make sure you enter keywords that you think<br />&#13;<br />
quality customers will also enter to find your own site.<br />&#13;<br />
Remember, your criteria are quality, highly ranked,<br />&#13;<br />
non-competing websites that have a links or resources page.<br />&#13;<br />
Go to these sites and objectively assess them. Look at the<br />&#13;<br />
quality of the product, the graphics, and the ease of use.<br />&#13;<br />
Then check out the other sites they are linked to, and<br />&#13;<br />
determine if your own site would fit in with the crowd.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
When you decide you have found a good prospect, you must<br />&#13;<br />
set out to woo them. The first thing to do is to add a link<br />&#13;<br />
on your own links page to their site. This is an essential<br />&#13;<br />
first step; it shows good faith, and ups your chances<br />&#13;<br />
significantly of their reciprocity. After you have added<br />&#13;<br />
their link, you must contact the webmaster of their site.<br />&#13;<br />
Since this is almost always done by email, you want to make<br />&#13;<br />
sure it is immediately clear that your message is not junk<br />&#13;<br />
mail. This requires that you tell them right off the bat<br />&#13;<br />
that you have added a link to their page on your site. A<br />&#13;<br />
hook like this almost always insures the reader will read<br />&#13;<br />
on.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Next, be sure to be flattering and let them know how much<br />&#13;<br />
you appreciate their website. Make sure you emphasize that<br />&#13;<br />
you have actually visited their site, and that their site<br />&#13;<br />
is not just a random pick. Give them the address of your<br />&#13;<br />
links page, and ask them to check out the link for<br />&#13;<br />
themselves. It&#8217;s a good idea to mention that they will not<br />&#13;<br />
only benefit from the increased traffic your website will<br />&#13;<br />
direct their way, but you will also increase their link<br />&#13;<br />
popularity. Briefly, explain why link popularity is so<br />&#13;<br />
essential, but do this in a sentence or two so you don&#8217;t<br />&#13;<br />
sound like a professor! Finally, tell them you would<br />&#13;<br />
greatly appreciate if they would reciprocally add a link on<br />&#13;<br />
their own links page to your website.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Go through this process with as many appropriate sites as<br />&#13;<br />
you can find, bearing in mind the criteria of quality and<br />&#13;<br />
non-competitiveness. After you have emailed all relevant<br />&#13;<br />
sites, be sure to check these website frequently to see if<br />&#13;<br />
they have added a link to your page. Give it about a month,<br />&#13;<br />
and if no link appears, try another charming email. Then<br />&#13;<br />
give it another month, and if your site is still absent<br />&#13;<br />
from their links page, it&#8217;s time to remove their link from<br />&#13;<br />
your own links page. The only time you want to pursue a<br />&#13;<br />
link further than this is if you believe a site is crucial<br />&#13;<br />
to your link popularity and your business needs. Just<br />&#13;<br />
remember to keep all your communications complimentary and<br />&#13;<br />
cordial.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Then set up a schedule to check your ranking in search<br />&#13;<br />
engines frequently to see if your link popularity has<br />&#13;<br />
improved. This is not achievable in the blink of an eye. It<br />&#13;<br />
will take some time and a good deal of work. There is no<br />&#13;<br />
way around the labor-intensive quality of improving your<br />&#13;<br />
link popularity, which is why search engines regard it with<br />&#13;<br />
such importance.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
By the way &#8211; make sure you have a beautiful, streamlined<br />&#13;<br />
site or you will never persuade anyone to link up to you.<br />&#13;<br />
Be prepared to keep plugging away at this process, as long<br />&#13;<br />
as it takes, until you achieve link popularity stardom!</p>
