Join our Community Blogs @MyTypes.com Social Networking for bloggers. We chose the Wordpress blogging platform over the others like Movable Type, Blogger and Text Pattern. Because it has a great template system, it’s easy to use, and great for SEO. We’ve taken Wordpress from okay for SEO to super for SEO. Most Wordpress Free Blog templates were not fully optimized, therefore we decided to do it our self.

We also wrote a complete guide on how to fully optimize your copy of Wordpress including optimizing the templates, robots, click on the Menu Above, the simple SEO book, or click on the Orange Graphic to purchase Marketing Book Now!” by V.K. Singh and MyTypes.com.

Should we offer our SEO and Internet Marketing book for free, obviously the free version would be in the eBook format? Three months ago we made the decision to not do so, why? Well, we already offer so much free stuff such our Free Blogs, free advice on how to create a blog, free SEO blog templates on this site. Even a free ebook on how to SEO  Wordpress. Would it be a better idea to offer our marketing book for free? Maybe, and that is why we are reevaluating the concept. We think this will help us to promote our brand of free blogs, SEO, Create blog, and obviously help sell more copies of the SEO and Internet marketing book. To be honest with you, the sales have been pretty dismal as we have not promoted or tried hard to sell it except for make it available on Amazon and promote it across our blogs and websites.

What makes our SEO and Internet Marketing book different than all the others. First of all, we have heard that it’s super easy to understand and makes it very easy to apply skills. It talks about blogging, and it teaches you how to write an effective blog. We would also like to make it available through our blogs, so here is the Introduction. We will try to promote the marketing book through our free blogs, and make the topics the topics of our blogs. We had done it when we wrote the drafts, but actually removed the content, when the marketing book actually got published. So here is the introduction, by the way, the book is titled “Marketing is a contact sport: make contacts through blogs, search, and social marketing”.  Click on the Link below to download the file:

Mark Warner spoke tonight at the democratic convention, he was great and just like a successful marketing campaign, he was forgotten about just Hillary Clinton spoke. In marketing we have short attention spans, and if you don’t keep top of mind you loose. Just like a successful ad campaign, the hall mark of a successful marketing campaign is in the longevity of it’s message. What was Mark’s message? I think it was about moving forward in the next generation of this country, to take us in to the technology age. But, just like any other better marketing campaign, that does not make the big story, he got out done simply by the circumstances of the Hillary Clinton speech.

I don’t have much else to say, but to remind you that you should blog often with a consistent message of your marketing campaign. You need to hammer the message in to your clients and users heads. This site is about SEO, Search and Social marketing in the new Internet Era. In case you were wondering, hammering your message is called branding and marketing that works.

7 ways SEO consultants rip off their clients - iMediaConnection.com

Ok this author is quite funny and actually makes great points of things to watch out for when looking at SEO service providers.  What I like about his writing is the British humor, but he makes great points such as  links and penalties by Google. He is clearly not one of the best SEO experts in the world, and he gently rips on India (not too cool in my book).  Regardless it is a worth while article to read.  We have a blog on SEO Truth, I started a few years ago, and we essentially want people to know about what people should focus on.

As some of you know we are too busy to blog a lot with our day jobs now days.  But, we do blog for fun or vocation through out travel blog and vacations focus.  We also have a client in the VRBO and Vacation rentals business.  They were actually advisors to us in all things technical, and we do SEO for them.  We also have been doing SEO for infrared heaters, for GreenIsBetter.org, but that is our own site.  We actually were distributors of the comfortzone infrared heaters last year, and will probably sell more infrared heaters through our ecommerce and SEOed site GreenisBetter.org.  The oil prices are certainly higher this year, and these Infrared Heaters actually help people save money, so we shall see how good of a year they have.  And, i can’t leave this free blog, and simply not plug in our marketing book, do buy it and review it on Amazon.  We are selling some copies on Amazon, so keep that up folks and thanks again for your support!

The title attribute vs the alt attribute which is the better choice for SEO? most individuals in the SEO arena know about the importance of the alt attribute for images. It describes what an image is to a search engine and is useful in creating better accessibly for text based browsers by providing information that make contextual sense instead of completely ignoring the image.

The title attribute is used to hold the “tooltip” in a link or image.

Title attribute in a link: <a href=”http://linkurl” TITLE=”LINK TITLE” />
Title & Alt attribute in an image: <img src=”/path /to/image/image.jpg” TITLE=”LINK TITLE” ALT=”ALT TEXT” />

compare the alt attribute to the title attribute you can see that both provide information, but which one is more useful for SEO? Aaron Wall from SEO book has written an article where he relays his experience with alt and title attributes. His assessment is that that alt attribute is weighted more heavily than the Title attribute

No we have not been on vacation, just not blogging as much as we use to, we do wish we were on vacations though.  We even started a travel blog for that, in case we ever go on vacation.  We have a lot more to do now days than just write seo blogs, we wish we could write more of them.  But, there is no better advice we can give you to seo your websites and blogs, than to get lots of high PR links. We have written many blogs on the subject and we think writing professional Press Releases is still a great way to do that. Don’t forget to keep blogging as well. Enjoy the previous article we wrote:

Ethical SEO way of getting thousands of Link in a week, PressReleases but how?

I have been a fan of PRWeb for more than two years, because we received thousands of links with our Press Releases and quickly got a good Google page rank for our previous blogs and real estate websites. Every SEO expert knows that sending out a professional Press Release through a wire service is the best way to get thousands of contextual links. One of the other things you can do, is to go to our b2b and online marketplace and submit your business information. While it won’t give you thousands of links, it does get get good traffic and it’s a sure way to promote your businesses!954165_dusk_photo-blog-seo.jpg But recently I learned that PRNewswire says that they SEO press releases, but they did not provide contextual links within their press release, in fact they only provided one link. I had my client check with his PRNewswire rep to make sure that he got what he paid for. He paid the extra $250 but never got the links, his rep said that they SEO but don’t provide links. This was the silliest thing I have heard.

But, I wanted to do some research and make sure that PRWeb and PRNewswire were fully researched before I provided my SEO and Internet Marketing verdict. I read a few blogs, I did some research and my past experiences to make my judgement, which is. PRNewswire is an old company, with old ties and if you want to be seen as a Fortune 500 company, use them. They are expensive and worthless for SEO, because they don’t provide any contextual links back. PRWeb is the #2 company for Press Releases and does so much to SEO your news that it actually helps you get thousands of links in a week or less. The online tools for PRWeb are not super easy to use, but who cares, they give you THOUSANDS OF contextual links from news sites, which is amazing for SEO. Every business should do press releases, but only when they have news. B2b marketing finding customers is now much easier, so you don’t have to constantly push, sites like Alibaba and Trade Key are great sites for b2b Exchanges and online businesses to promote themselves. 941940_friends_people-seo-photo-blog.jpg

Every SEO expert also knows that you need more Contextual links than your competitor, especially from news worthy sites, and blogs. Well guess what folks, PRWeb delivers, thousands of links for the price of about $130. But don’t take my word for it, spend hundreds of dollars, lots of time, and than you can email me later saying, YOU WERE RIGHT Vipin. No, don’t do that, take my word for it, and read the following links and search results:

Geo Targeted SEO

Using SEO to target a specific geographic areas are key in hitting some niche markets, especially for small SEO campaigns competing against large players in a market. lets look at one way to do this.

we’ll assume that is an established company out there who was running a website selling Vacation and Vacation Rental packages. The company is based in California and is currently running a national SEO campaign. for Vacation Rentals They recently found that there was a particularly large market of people in St. Louis, MO who were buying up vacation and vacation rental packages. now what could they do to enhance their SEO campaign in St. Louis, MO. **sponsored by VRBO, Background Check, & Website Design St. Louis**

Lets get Relevant!

the company is planning to create a dedicated page that only deals with vacations packages and vacation rentals in St. Louis to increase their relevancy.
Their keyword research shows that the best set of keywords is “vacation rentals st. louis”
create a new page to hold the relevant content the page
1) The new page has the URL of http://companysite.com/VACATION-RENTALS-ST-LOUIS/

2) Next they tweak the pages title tags, they add some location information to their TITLE meta tag with their keywords
<title>Vacation Rentals St. Louis, Mo - Company Name</title>

3)they now create content that is relevant to vacation rentals in St. Louis they figure out what vacationers are looking for when they visit St. Louis and present that content, perhaps weather, the favorite local spots, tourist attractions, etc. The page essentially becomes a real resource.

4) they link to this new page from the homepage of the current site with “Vacation Rentals St. Louis Mo” as the anchor text of the hyperlink. The company also starts a local link campaign for the same set anchor text. they target local businesses that are related to vacation rentals, restaurants, transportation, tour companies, etc.

this would be a great start to creating a geo targeted SEO campaign. I encourage YOU to comment on this post!
