The Myth of Guaranteed #1 Ranking in Search Engine Marketing

Sat, 27 Feb 2010 00:37:24 -0600

You've seen the ads: Guaranteed Ranking! There are no guarantees in search engine marketing and website promotion. If anyone tells you different, you should check quickly to make sure they don't have their hand in your wallet.Suppose you sell widgets. You want to sell more widgets, and the way to do that is to make sure that more people know about widgets, and that you are the place to buy their widgets. You might decide to buy a half-page ad in a national magazine to tell your story. When you place that ad, you are "guaranteed" your position.With a magazine advertisement, you know what the magazine's circulation is, who reads it, and which page will feature your ad. The magazine can guarantee all that, because they own the medium.Search engine marketing is qualitatively different. When you work with a search engine marketing firm to promote your website, they cannot guarantee where your listing will appear. Certainly there are types of online ads where there are guarantees in...

Sun, 21 Feb 2010 01:03:24 -0600

The first question that most people usually ask themselves is what a directory is and what its purpose is. To simply put it; a web directory is a listing of websites which are broken down by categories and once more, by subcategories. Every listing usually also includes a description of a website, in addition to a link which leads people towards the site. This may sound very similar to a search engine; however, it is quite different.

Why Link Building Is Tough, Slow And Perilousby ChristopherIt's a shame the internet is full of junk info about linking practices. Most of this info is either too slow for minimal gain, or it's the same old stuff doing the rounds. I just checked about articles about link development from About a resource I usually find respectable and wasn't surprised to find the same link advice doing the rounds - justlike the rest of the web. These articles are written by non-experts in marketing, pr, communications, advertising etc, and are still believed, and labelled as experts when quite clearly their not.These articles are full of damaging, unproductive and overused 'techniques' which will outgrow their usefulness once they've served the very basic purpose -and that's a fact.I've read them and that's why I can say this.I've thought about this quite a lot, and think the main reasons why anyone would use these time consuming methods are because they don't know how else to do this, or t...
