How to Check Your Search Position on Google

If you want to check your search position on Google DON'T use any piece of SEO Software to do it!! Google specifically Objects to the use of this software as it uses up their bandwidth and points at the users of such Software as someone who is trying to Game or Cheat their system. Google could well punish your website by having it De-Listed. So if you want to check how well you are doing on Google Search it's best to do it the long way by using Google. This may be slow, but it will be accurate (Most SEO Software isn't) and frankly if you are not appearing in the first ten pages for a search term you are working on, then you know that you need to work harder at it. It really isn't worth searching past page ten. Also.... add Google Analyticals and Google Web Tools to your site. This will provide you with a host of information legitimately from Google. Google want you to reach your audience (legitimately) so they provide loads of help. Lastly if you are using an SEO Firm ....... ask them if they are using SEO Software on your site ...... if they are .... ask them to stop NOW!!

Google Doesn't Panda to Over Eggers

At the end of the day Google doesn't like to get fooled. Overly optimized sites will be targeted by Google more and more in the future. If they suspect that a site is over optimized for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) then they will de-rank that web site from their Search Listings and who would blame them as they are trying to get relevant information to their customers i.e. you and me. Let's face it, we're all sick and tired of searching for something and having to wade though no content spam sites!! Modern SEO has to be about making your site visible through engagement with your customers and the people that you want to be your customers. If you are a business considering using an SEO firm to improve your rankings you must ask them and be reassured that they are not going to use traditional back link spamming that so many SEO firms have relied on in the past and are still trying to sell today. THESE WILL BACKFIRE ON YOUR BUSINESS!! sooner or later. Your approach must be one of honesty and a genuine desire to provide a quality internet experience for your customers and a genuine desire to engage with your customers. JUST THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW. Yours Dave.

Focus on your Customers for SEO Keyword Selection

When choosing the SEO keywords that you are going to focus on in your SEO (Search Engine Optimization)campaign, think about the keywords that your customers would put into Google to find you. Don't think about the keywords that you would use. You are an expert in your business and probably use insider words and specialist words when talking about your business. When interacting with your customers there is no harm in asking them ... "what keywords would you put into Google to find me? .... if you didn't know of my business already?" List these words over a period of time and you'll probably get some very effective keywords for your SEO campaign.

Social Shares are Better than Back Links for SEO now

Google have introduced a new search algorithm called Panda/Penguin. Which is looking unfavorably on web sites which overuse back-linking as a means of upping their search rankings. Recent online research shows that Social Sharing of your internet presence is now far more favourable to your search rankings. So if you want to improve your search rankings on Google then think ....Facebook Shares ... Facebook Likes .... Facebook Comments ... Tweets and Re-tweets for SUCCESS!

SEO and You Tube Visibility

Getting your You Tube videos find-able by your audience is an incredibly important aspect to SEO. Use the You Tube Keyword Suggestion Tool to get the right keywords to promote your videos. Also get suggestions for keywords from the auto complete function when you put in keywords. Lastly, use all the available space allocated to each video, for Title, Descriptions and Tags. Say as much about your video as you can and pack it with relevant, keyword rich, content.
