SEO Rulebook Creates It's Own Rules
SEO Rulebook Website Optimization Software
Press Release by: Net Business International
(openPR) - SEORulebook can help your website follow the complex and changing search engine algorithms at a blink of an eye. Best of all -- the software is completely Automatic. - The summary should arouse curiosity in the reader to read the rest of your press release. It is very important to make it interesting and not dull.
Being on top of the search engines means big business when it comes to Internet marketing. How to get on the top is a whole new story. Many people fail to understand onsite optimization in the SEO formula. To reach the top you must do more then just build incoming links and create more pages.
Keyword density plays an important and vital role to reaching the top. You always hear individuals saying "pick your keywords wisely" and "keywords are very important". Let me take a minute and teach you what they are talking about but first let me get you caught up to date about current keyword technology.
Things To Know And Remember
1. Search Engines No Longer Use Keyword Meta Tags
2. You No Longer Submit Your Keywords To The Search Engines For Ranking
Search engines use Keyword Density to determine your websites keywords. Keyword density is the number of times a specific keyword appears within your site.
If you have 100 words on your website and the word "mortgage" appears 4 times then you would have a keyword density of 4% for the keyword mortgage.
The most important keywords on your website are the Top 5 words with the highest density on each individual page as well as a collective summery of every website on the domain.
Things To Know And Remember
1. SEO Rulebook solves your keyword density issues.
2. Keyword density should fall between 3% to 4.5% per keyword.
3. The Top 5 Keywords are very important to your SEO efforts.
4. Your targeted keywords must be bolded or 'tagged' for the most ranking benefit.
5. Each individual page must have an optimized title that matches its keyword density.
6. Each title must meet specific length critical which Rulebook manages.
7. Each title must contain the targeted keyword.
8. Titles can contain no words in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.
* Rules & Concepts According to SEO Professionals
Rulebook Saves Time & Does The Impossible
Imagine having to rewrite your website using all of these fundamental rules. Bolding every keyword. Rewriting your content until your targeted keywords have between 3% and 4.5% density each. Calculating page density to determine the best TITLE to use on every single webpage.
SEO Rulebook solves all of these problems for you at a click of a button - instantly. Even if you do it by hand you are bound to look over keywords to bold and make human errors while Rulebook is analytically perfect.

[Editor's comments: In my opinion, most of what this company is saying is either misleading or just plain wrong. If someone can show me a "before and after" example not owned or controled by the company, I would be interested to hear about it, but in general what good information they offer is available many other places for free.

Republican Domain Re-direction Looks Stupid, Petty
I just got a message that someone had posted on a forum:
This fall's US Senate campaign in the state of Tennessee will likely be between Republican Ed Bryant and Democrat Harold Ford Jr. Both are currently in the US House of Representatives.
I just read that Bryant's campaign registered the domain name www.FordforSenate.com. If you type that in you go to the Bryant campaign web site.
If you're so inclined to complain, here's Bryant's contact info:
Ed Bryant for Senate
5214 Maryland Way Suite 304
Brentwood, TN 37027
Phone: 615-373-2327
Fax: 615-373-9851
Email: info@edbryantforsenate.com
Leave it to a politician to make themselves look stupid. Do they think that someone looking for Ford will then be interested in Bryant? Do they think this will sway voters? I think the petty meanness of this action WILL help to sway voters, but not as intended.

The World Blog Center (www.worldblogcenter.com) launched officially on 10th March 2006 and aims to bring together the world's greatest blogs within the span of one million square feet of virtual office space represented on its homepage as an office floor canvas.
The world's best blogs in the fields of Business, Marketing, Media, Marketing, News, Computers, Software, Health, Travel, Culture, Entertainment and other industries are to occupy space in what is a highly prestigious virtual office location. There is a review process for all applicants in order to maintain quality and the Center aims to represent a broad range of industries and personal interest topics that will appeal to all website visitors.
Business Week Online is the web version of the well-known and excellent periodical Business Week magazine. BusinessWeek was first published in 1929 and is owned by McGraw-Hill. The publication provides in-depth coverage of the latest trends in technology, finance and management. It reports on news, ideas and trends affecting industry and the economy for those in business management, with national and international coverage. Each of the blogs in its current network has its own individual office spacelet at the World Blog Center.
Blogging Systems (www.bloggingsystems.com) is a blogging platform provider serving real estate brokers, and it recently announced the availability of it's newest version of Community Publisher, its flagship blogging platform. The platform facilitates turn-key community blog networks for the lending and real estate industries.
Richard Nacht is the founder and CEO of Blogging Systems. Richard has over twenty years in the real estate, finance and technology development industries. Dr. Rafiq, who operates the Center, stated "We are very happy to accommodate Blogging Systems at the World Blog Center. The company is at the forefront of pushing blogospheric expansion and provides a great service for the real estate sector. We are particularly looking for companies that are contributing to Web 2.0 and which have a unique angle in their approach."
RealtyBlogging (www.realtyblogging.com) is an online community powered by the Community Publisher platform and provides tips, advice and guidance to the real estate sector on how to blog effectively.
21Publish (www.21publish.com) is an application hosting provider for blogging communities. The company was founded in 2004 and maintains operations in the United States and Europe serving customers like Amnesty International, McGraw-Hill, Mercury Interactive, leading German airline HLX, and thousands of small- & medium-sized communities. 21Publish was founded by Stefan Wiskemann who formerly co-founded both 20six and ricardo.de, the European Internet-Auction company that went public in 1999, before merging with QXL to become QXL ricardo plc.
Travellerspoint (www.travellerspoint.com) is an online blogging community website. The idea started in an MSN Messenger discussion in mid-2002 between Samuel and Peter Daams, and the site was launched only three months later. The goal of Travellerspoint is to create an international meeting point for travellers worldwide, whether they are planning their travels, currently travelling or have returned from their travels and want to stay in touch with (or find) those travel friends they met while travelling in the past.
Center manager, Dr. Rafiq stated, "We are really pleased with our new tenants. All of them are focused upon promoting social marketing and either use or offer state of the art blogging platforms."
The Center is expecting many other big blog names to be taking up occupancy very soon and indicated that there has been a lot of interest in the idea. The Center offers virtual floor space at a rate of $1 per 100 sqare feet, and has already filled a tenth of its capacity.
Tenants will benefit from the prestige associated with the virtual office space on a premium domain name, and for many up and coming blogs it will be a valuable source of traffic. Other benefits that the Center has outlined on its website include the acquisition of peerage by lesser known blogs by being associated with more popular blogs from similar industries, and also becoming a part of Internet history by being one of the 2500 or so blogs that will eventually make it into the Center. Blog office space in the World Blog Center is expected to be full by November 2006.
If you want some high profile exposure for your blog, it might be an idea to go to www.worldblogcenter.com and reserve your blog office space now as this is showing the signs of becoming a huge success.

[Editor's comments: My god, I just looked at this site and it's just a variation of the pixel ad sites...! What's funny is their claim that "you cannot buy your way in." to make it seem like it's worth their excessive fees for advertising.
Like the other pixel ad sites, the small blocks are $100 each. What's also funny is that they make it seem like they already have a number of paying advertisers, but I doubt that most are... (hris ]______________________________________________

Pundits Poo-Poo Google Print, Possibly Prematurely
Whoa, it seems that Google's first attempt to enter the print advertising world was not a hit right from the start.
My, how quickly we are to condemn a first effort...! I was just reading an article today in 2/7/06 DM News about this and realized the vast potential of what Google is trying to do.
They should have purchased ad space in the same style as their on-line ads and put that up for bid right into AdWords. Small, deftly-worded ads that move from the online world to the off-line world complete with the Google brand. Once they make this kind of adjustment and stop trying to fit into the existing format they will have another winner, IMO.
It would be SO AWESOME to have our AdWords ads start to appear in newspapers and magazines like they do now on the content networks, and aside from the additional exposure, there's NO CLICK FRAUD! Plus we get to reach all those people that don't mind killing trees to get their daily fix of news.
I webmaster for a small Minnesota newspaper, The Watchdog News (http://www.watchdog-news.com) and I am going to suggest to the editor that we adopt the same type of ad format with content-related ads that you see from Google and other providers. Don't tell me I'm the only one that sees the potential here and the slap-your-head, simplicity of the concept...?
Hey, I dusted off the crystal ball, and guess what I just saw? HDTV sets in just about every home. No surprise there, but what DID take my breath away was seeing some content on those beautiful screens along one site of the screen and it looked to me to be damn 160x600 skyscraper ads!!! I couldn't make out if it was Gooooogle or Yahooooo! but I would lay some money on which one it will turn out to be... :-)

March 29th clinic will discuss how online marketers can combat click fraud when running pay-per-click campaigns
[ClickPress, Wed Mar 22 2006] How can a company combat click fraud when running pay-per-click (PPC) marketing campaigns? How can it minimize the chance of being targeted and find out if it has already been paying for fraudulent clicks?
These questions and more will be answered at the next MarketingExperiments.com (MEC) Web Clinic, to be held Wednesday, March 29, 2006 at 4:00 p.m. EST. The 60-minute teleconference is offered to interested parties free of charge, with prior registration requested.
The genesis of this Web Clinic came when we at MEC thought we might have been victims of click fraud ourselves, said Nick Usborne, senior editor at MEC. We set out to answer some serious questions about click fraud and found answers that we think every online marketer should know about in order to protect themselves and their business. PPC campaigns can be an integral part of a marketing plan, but as awareness of click fraud grows, it is becoming necessary to learn how to protect both the integrity and the return on investment of online campaigns.
During the Web Clinic, MEC analysts will share the findings of their research as presented in a 10-point plan. This plan offers information on minimizing a companys likelihood of becoming a victim of click fraud and also provides instructions on identifying click fraud attacks as and when they occur.
Those interested in attending the free clinic can sign up at www.marketingexperiments.com/webconf or by e-mailing editor@marketingexperiments.com.

Search Innovation: Froogle, Video Search, Live Search, and Mindset
The Bold And The Beta: Two Approaches To Search Innovation
by Gord Hotchkiss, Thursday, March 16, 2006
AS SEARCH INNOVATION ROLLS OUT to the user, the beta release has been a tried and true way of testing the waters. Currently, there are dozens of different flavors of search in beta, including a significant portion of Google usability. Beta releases were originally a quality assurance exercise, allowing real users to identify bugs in a new product.
Today, the advantage of beta in search is that it's a relatively low-risk way to test the appeal of new search functionality and interfaces with real users. Beta release is to technology as a test market is to advertising. A beta interface can be thrown up without impacting the main site, which continues to produce the bread and butter revenue. The hope is, of course, that word of the beta will spread virally through the Internet, and the developer finds its beta release turn into the next big thing online. You pretest with users, find you have a home run, and when the time is right, you throw the switch, incorporating some or all of the new technology into your mainstream product.
The beginning of Google was a classic study in how a beta release can introduce a hot new upstart. Google was in beta forever, and had attracted a significant chunk of the search market before it ever was officially released. Use of Google spread virally like wildfire through the academic and journalist communities, eventually cracking the mainstream as the word spread. The beta campaign worked like a charm, and by the time Google was mainstream, it had so much momentum it never looked back.
Since then, every search player has thrown new technology up as a beta, to see what sticks, and hopefully, takes off to become the next flavor of Google. Notable beta candidates currently are Google's Froogle (another perennial beta release) and Video Search, Microsoft's Windows Live Search and Yahoo's Mindset. Each hopes that it will be the next big thing. Given the stakes that are up for grabs in search, I'm not sure beta release is the best way to get the next big win. Here are some reasons why:
Beta Users Are Early Adopters
The beta user is not your typical animal. They tend to be more risk tolerant and patient with bugs, and are the early adopters. This audience works well if your beta release objectives are bug tracking, but not so well if you're trying to gauge a potential market buster.
Search is now mainstream; it's crossed the chasm. The classic Google success story took place when search was still in the domain of the early adopter. Today, to gain market share, you have to introduce technology that appeals to everyone. I tend to be an early adopter. My wife is a classic online pragmatist. I'll fool around with new technology, and I think some of the stuff in beta is pretty cool. But it's not my loyalty you have to win, it's my wife's, and she doesn't even know Google Labs exists, let alone is willing to take the brainchild of a Google engineer for a test drive. If you're using beta users to pretest market potential, you're probably getting the wrong feedback.
The Competition Can Peek Under Your Kimono
Search is a hot space now. In the original days of Google, search had the advantage of not being under the microscope, so a beta release of a new engine had a chance to build up some user momentum before it was attacked and reverse engineered by the competition. In Google's case, not only was it not reverse engineered, but Page and Brin couldn't even sell the technology to the competition. The same is not true today. Literally weeks or days are all it seems to take before the competition jumps on a new development and introduces its own version. As an example, Windows Live Search has its own version of Google Earth satellite imagery built into the interface.
When you're penetrating a mainstream market, every day you can hold an advantage over the competition is significant. The longer something remains in beta before it becomes a significant advantage to your main user base, the longer your competition has to even the playing field.
There's Too Much Beta And Too Little Innovation
A beta product will only become a blockbuster if it significantly ups the ante in terms of just plain coolness or usability. Today, everything gets thrown in beta, and, in many cases, there's just not enough motivation to cause even early adopters to give it a second look. We're being inundated with new beta releases and I personally can't keep up. The chance of one of these spinning enough momentum to gain market share is infinitesimal at best. There's very little that's really buzz-worthy right now. The last thing I saw that was pretty cool in new search interfaces was Yahoo's Mindset, but that's generated virtually no attention even in the search biz. After taking Windows Live Search for a test drive, I found it reasonably buzz-worthy as well, but time will tell if it will gain much attention in its beta release.
It's Time For Boldness, Not Beta
This might not be the time to play it safe in the search biz. It's time for locked doors and midnight brainstorming, huge leaps forward and blow-your-socks-off functionality. It's time for monumental, not incremental, improvements. Spoon feeding us innovation through never-ending beta releases might not be the way to go. The irony is that now, when there's significant dollars at stake and risk is greatest, the only way to win might be to take that risk head-on and gamble big.

SEO Works, Is Fairly Easy, And Does Not Have To Be Expensive
When Time Is On Your Side: The Power of SEO
by Linda Fisk, Friday, March 17, 2006
ALTHOUGH PAID INCLUSION PROGRAMS AND paid search campaigns provide the most immediate marketing results, SEO strategies generally provide the most cost-efficient and the most consistent traffic. So, when you have only a modest marketing budget to work with, start by optimizing your site through smart SEO strategies. And, to maximize the visibility of your site in all search results--paid and natural--it's smart to implement both paid and natural search strategies.
Most marketers are aware that search is the No. 1 navigation method used by online consumers to find information on the Web. To be competitive online, it is increasingly important that marketers ensure that their sites are included in natural search results, as well as paid search results. And, with four primary engines representing 94+ percent of all search activity, it's not only a crucial part of a smart online marketing effort, it's feasible for all online businesses.
Organic, or Natural SEO: Because most search engine referrals come through organic, not paid, listings, online marketers cannot afford to neglect natural search engine optimization (SEO). In fact, JupiterResearch estimates that natural search indexes generate 87 percent of commercial referrals from search engines. So, although it requires a bit more work, ultimately, to maximize your site's accessibility as an information choice to consumers, it's important to take the time to employ smart SEO strategies.
SEO strategies generally include the enhancement of a site's architecture, copy, and structure to ensure that search engine spiders are more likely to see and select your site's pages for search requests. In 2005, Scripps Networks Interactive embarked on an ambitious project to significantly enhance the visibility of all our Web sites across all major search engines in natural search. Fortunately, with the guidance from our interactive agency, 360i, we quickly implemented a number of operational strategies to help the visibility of our sites' content across all major search engines.
The goals for Scripps Networks Interactive's SEO project in 2005 included:
Increase number of pages indexed in the major search databases
Increase the number of first page rankings across the major search engines relative to target keywords/phrases
Increase traffic to sites from the algorithmic (natural) search placements
Lower the cost of audience acquisition for all sites
SEO Strategies: A successful SEO project usually requires changing site infrastructure, content, and linking strategies. Some of the strategies we implemented to optimize the visibility of our websites across all major search engines included:
Keyword research: we learned what keywords are most often used to access our sites and what content people most often search for within the framework of our sites.
Tag Authoring: we created a process the ensure that the most appropriate keywords and phrases were included in all meta tags, alt tags and title tags.
Content Enhancement: content is one of the most important aspects of search engine optimization, and considerations included:
Keywords used in headings
Paragraphs or sentences used to describe various sections or services
Ensuring high-value keywords are used frequently
Placing keywords within hyperlinks
Creating themed pages or sections dedicated to particular topics
Integrating more targeted keywords in the title tags, meta tags and alt tag
Of course, with the help of 360i, we utilized specific techniques unique to our content management system and the content of our sites that certainly helped maximize our results. In fact, the list of specific strategies and tactics employed to ensure that our SEO execution was successful is about a 20-page dissertation. We started seeing small results immediately and, after a year of focused efforts, we are now reaping larger rewards
SEO Results: In 2005, our monthly average search traffic from the top five search engines on all sites increased by 27 percent from our benchmark measure. And, combined across all properties, search engine rankings improved 43 percent for the targeted keywords. And, perhaps most importantly, first-page rankings increased 48 percent. Of all the brands, DIYNetwork.com and FineLiving.com had the greatest gains in rankings, with increases of 70 percent and 63 percent respectively, although rankings increased or maintained position for 91 percent of all words across each of Scripps Networks brands online.
One of the most important and effective SEO strategies we implemented in 2005 was the creation of "content pages" for all sites. In September, following the indexing of content pages, rankings improved significantly across all properties.
So, although SEO strategies generally require changing site infrastructure, content, and linking strategies--which means quite a bit of work, and the full impact of results is not immediate--it's worth it. For the most cost-efficient and the most consistent traffic, you can't beat a smart program of SEO enhancements.

Search Engine Ranking Myth Perpetuated
49 per cent of SMEs might never be found online due to their disregard of the importance of search engines.
(PRWEB) March 15, 2006 -- Almost half of all small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) do not submit their web sites to search engines, research carried out by Fasthosts (http://www.fasthosts.co.uk ) has found. Additionally, a massive 66 per cent of internet users and potential customers indicated that they only looked at the first two pages of search results. These two findings mean that most small businesses may never be discovered online, resulting in loss of revenue every day they are not visible on the web. Fasthosts SMEs On The Web survey asked more than 2,000 SMEs about their search engine practices, attitudes towards sponsored links and favoured search engines.
In 2005, UK consumers spent £19.2 billion online on goods and services and that figure is forecast to grow by 36 per cent in 2006 (IMRG). Consumers use search engines as a first point of call to search for products and services, and 89 per cent of respondents stated that Google was their search engine of choice. However, companies need to ensure a high listing within the natural results on the left hand side, as 30 per cent of respondents indicated that they never click on sponsored links.
Our study once again shows the importance of search engines. In 2006, no business can afford to be invisible online, yet too many SMEs are, commented Andrew Michael, CEO, Fasthosts. I was amazed to see that SMEs are not considering how much they personally use search engines when it comes to the importance of ranking for their own company. If you are not listed on Google, your web site might as well not be online, he added.
Fasthosts TrafficDriver offers a free search engine submission service with its business web hosting package. The package includes an easy to use site creation tool and automated monthly search engine submissions - furthermore it has integrated advanced search engine optimisation to establish and improve sites search rankings. By using these Fasthosts tools companies can create an online presence and generate traffic within days.
2094 businesses participated in the online survey carried out during January and February 2006 by Fasthosts. 49 per cent of respondents admitted that they do not submit their website to search engines, which accounted for 1,026 votes. To take part in the survey, and to see the full results, please visit http://www.fasthosts.co.uk/poll/.

No Click Fraud Guaranteed By Advolution
Advolution, the next revolution in search engines, guarantees absolutely no click fraud for its advertisers.
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) March 10, 2006 -- Advolution (http://www.advolution.com), the next revolution in search engines, guarantees absolutely no click fraud for its advertisers.
With the recently announced $90 million click fraud settlement made by Google, advertisers are waking up to one of the main drawbacks of pay-per-click advertising.
Google and Yahoo have shown that the amount an advertiser is willing to pay to be associated with a search term correlates well with how valuable that listing will also be for the searcher.
However, under their pay-per-click systems, advertisers have to pay for each and every click and are increasingly victims of "click fraud" (competitors clicking on ads to deplete the advertiser's budget and/or search engine affiliate partners clicking on them to make money for themselves).
Under Advolution's pay-for-position system, advertisers pay only once to have a listing associated with a search term. Search results are ranked by the dollar amount paid for each listing. In case of a tie, the older listing takes precedence.
Advertisers (and searchers) receive the benefit of pay-per-click without having to pay for each click (or worry about click fraud).
Advolution listings are similar to the search results at other search engines, except that with Advolution advertisers have full control over:
* How their listing looks.
* What search terms it is associated with.
* Where it shows up in the search results.

Search & Directory and Mobile Company InfoSpace, Inc. is to use a viral marketing campaign to release its re-designed WebFetch.com Search Comparison Tool which now incorporates MSN search.
The Webfetch.com Search Comparison Tool can be added to Websites and Blogs from WebFetch.com for free by Website owners at http://comparesearchengines.webfetch.com/blog.aspx, by simply adding a small HTML code into their Webpages. The viral element to the tool allows the user to send an invite to a friend to experience the benefits of metasearch and try the service. It is the first use of viral marketing in the EU and UK by InfoSpace to create a word-of-mouth buzz around the products and services it delivers.
The Search Comparison Tool that drives its results from WebFetch.com for the EU and UK compares search engine results from Ask, Google, MSN and Yahoo! from a microsite that allows searches to be undertaken and then compared. By bringing search results together in one resource, InfoSpace illustrates how WebFetch.com delivers the most relevant results on the Web.
Dominic Trigg, vice president at InfoSpace Search & Directory explains, Only 1.1 percent of search results from the top four search engines (Ask, Google, MSN and Yahoo!) are the same. The WebFetch.com Search Comparison Tool shows what the different results are across these search engines and clearly explains their outcomes from searches. As a result of this, the tool demonstrates that business and consumer users can get more top results in one place using the WebFetch.com metasearch engine.
The new design and improvements take the user through a Flash demonstration and allows them to make real-time searches displaying the results that have been returned by each search engine. The tool shows how many results appear on the first page of that search engine, how many results are completely unique to that search engine and then moves onto the next search engine to do the same.
Once the tool has returned results back from all of the search engines, it then shows the Webs top results (using green buttons) and WebFetch.coms top results (using orange buttons). By hovering over the green and orange buttons the user is able to see the origin of each search result and if desired enables them clickthrough to see those results in that search engine. There is also a blue button with a down arrow that may be clicked on to allow the user to switch the results of the engines so that they can see alternative views of the results and overlaps.
The WebFetch.com Search Comparison Tool exemplifies how InfoSpace private labelled search can be used to increase loyalty and revenue across a business Websites by bringing more relevant results to their user-base from the top engines with just one click. It was a natural choice to use a viral hook to have Website owners and the users themselves tell their colleagues, friends and relatives about their metasearch experiences having used the tools. The bonus for Website owners is that the instantly tap in the power InfoSpace metasearch engine WebFetch.com presenting an alternative method to source more relevant search results to the Web audiences using their site for free, adds Trigg
