10 Shortcuts for Getting Their Attention in Record Time

I believe content marketing is going to be the new SEO!  But first I think it’s time that all these SEO writers got a wakeup call.

I do a lot of reading.  I’d venture to say I read and write more than the average person.  But I hate all these 2,000 page articles.  All these SEO’s writing these complicated long ass articles in hopes of getting a link and a little Google love.

Then someone post a little cartoon and everyone on the Internet links to it.  Shorten your article and use the photos and content to tell a story.

Everything on that page should help me to understand what it is you are trying to convey in less than 2 seconds.

Since this is all about long content I’ll let you guys post the rest.

    It has become apparent to “me” (not necessarily everyone else) but when certain people find it awkward that companies are marketing Obama commemorative merchandise like coins, people just retort with the freedom of capitalism. Isn’t it just a little premature to be making coins and mentioning holidays for a man that was only elected and has not run in office yet? Should we not base his character on his actions but on his ethnicity and physical appearance?

    How are SEO articles usually linked back to the target site (where the actual product is sold)?
    When I look at samples, most of the times there is no link to the target site.
    Will the URL be only in the “bio” section of the author?

    Hi,

    I am confused when it comes to content marketing in Yahoo

    1 Does Yahoo have alternate report as like “placement report” Adwords ?
    2 Which one is best “content adgrouph targeting” or “content Campaign Targeting”?
    3 To show my ads globally, do I need to be set up separate account for each country as there is no country bundle in yahoo as adwords has [Only US and Canada shown]?

    Best regards,

    Ok, so it is obvious that spun content on one’s website is a no-no.

    But it is ok to spin an article and then publish it on multiple article directories?

    Not like 1000 versions, but let’s say about 20-30 of properly spun articles, something readable.

    Can Google penalyze for that or even know about it?

    I have an SEO job opportunity with a company that has 6 sites. One is the main company site that has links to the other 5 separate company product specific websites. This client would like a re-design on all sites to make the design cohesive across all properties.

    My question is should I; with the redesign also suggest that all 6 sites be consolidated to the single parent company site? Or is it better for SEO to keep all sites separate? Thanks!

  48. Lizzie Galatioto says:

    Today there are SEO promotion and consulting services for small businesses. They hire people with knowledge in search engine optimization and some time ago SEO wasn’t even known.

    With Google’s constant algorithm changes, SEO changes too. What will happen with SEO in the future? Will SEO keep changing or eventually bail out?

    Should i rely on SEO as a long term job once i am accepted and should i keep improving my knowledge there? Is SEO recognzed as a regular daily job in Ministry Of Labor?

    I enjoy television but I fear that the content is geared toward marketing. I think it would be foolish to put much stock in theories that televison programming has any political agendas but I could see it being designed around marketing pushes. I would like to think this is an overly cynical view however. Comment?

  52. Marcia Hester says:

    What qualification is needed to become a SEO professional?

  53. Gloria Hester says:

    Though I haven’t blogged/updated my website (www.writeffects.com) consistently lately, but have already been optimizing my website well enough for possible SE visibility for more than a year now. Was a bit busy for couple of months now due to some other important things (personal) that really needs my attention that’s why I haven’t had the time to really focus on optimizing (off-page optimization specifically) my website…
    I am really concern, because my competitors, I think, have that powerful secret in keeping their stability in search engine spots. Well, I am sure, one possible reason is because they have $$$ to pay for SEO services, pay for paid listing, outsource other SEO tasks.. I guess?

    Now, I just wanted to know if you’ve experienced this kind of situation when you first started your website? What have you done that made your website visible to SEs now? Well, aside from spending $$$, do you have any suggestions except of course, hiring new people to help me out? Are there any FREE SEO service who can help me out with my optimization? Or better yet, cheaper/affordable rates for SEO service that guarantees better ranking and search engine visibility? Really wanted to increase my sales, i guess everybody wishes the same..

    Would really appreciate all your help. I am really looking forward to hear your say on this. Thanks in advance!

    Have a happy weekend!

    I’m almost 31 weeks along and I have yet to buy anything for the baby. Stupid of me, I know.. I’m just not motivated to do it. I’m not complaining about having another baby.. I’m way excited about that. I just haven’t been motivate yet to get out and buy things. And no baby shower for me! My husband is in IRAQ and the drive to see our families is just too hard for me to make.

    So, my question is where are some really good, reliable websites where I can buy everything for baby and just have it shipped to my house. I have a few websites that I’ve already looked around at, but I was wanting other people’s opinions. Cheaper websites that sale quality stuff is great to know about too! So, thanks in advance for all your help!

I cleared my cache and the same questions are STILL showing in this spot.

    Hi,

    I am executing search engine optimization and I think it is too time consuming to build backlinks myself. I cannot do anything other than for backlinking the whole day, repeatedly, which is terrible.

    I need a professional link building service, to get high PageRank backlinks done for me. But yet the businesses I found are way very expensive, or they seem scammy, do not give reports of the links, etc.

    Is there any trusted company I could get backlinks done for affordable rates?

    Thanks!

    1 – Got a new MacBook (black) 2 days ago. I record videos on PhotoBooth, but whenever I play it back (videos i make usually last longer than 1min.) would only last 23secs max.?

    2 – When I first opened the laptop, photobooth wasn’t on the interface.. Particular reason? I had to find it then drag it on.

    3 – The interface doesn’t get bigger when I “swoosh” my mouse over it.. As in, the picture of a program wouldn’t get bigger compared to the other icons.. If that makes sense? How do i get to do that when i scroll over it?
