Practical SEO made easy for Small Business Owners

July 1, 2013 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

Over the last 10 plus years, I’ve been on a winding course of Internet entrepreneurship that has lead me to crash and burn a number of times with various ideas and concepts.

From printing and graphic design to IT consulting and support to web design and development to designing and selling t-shirts to women’s boutique to disaster and emergency communications to non-profit and religious websites, I’ve done it all.

However, the one constant in all of the businesses mentioned above was my reliance on effective search engine rankings and search engine optimization (SEO).

Overall, the experience was phenomenal and chock full of life and business lessons that small business owners and professionals alike could learn and benefit.

From search penalties to de-indexation to stupid and costly mistakes to the mountain-top of page one ranking for hundreds of highly competitive keywords and cash registers converting and ringing nothing but profitable success, I’ve knowingly and unknowingly have experienced my fair share of search engine failures and successes.

Today, as a seasoned SEO consultant, I’m privileged to consult and coach a wide variety of customers and the question I receive the most from small business owners is, “Are there any SEO strategies and techniques that I can implement myself?”

Understanding that small business owners are typically short on time and money in some cases, I set out to create a simple and easy-to-use guide to help lead small business owners down the SEO path in achieving sustainable and profitable SEO results.

Part Two: SEO Audit Increases SEO Effectiveness

A series about increasing SEO effectiveness by having a consistent SEO audit performed.
Written by: Alvin Brown

Welcome back to the SEO Audit series where I’ve been sharing very critical search engine optimization tips and insight to increase website rankings and traffic.

As a recap, Part One of SEO Audit Increases SEO Effectiveness, we discussed how the SEO audit should be performed when designing or redesigning a website.

We covered that a SEO audit can help to avoid, prevent and eliminate careless search engine optimization errors leading to search engine penalties that would otherwise go undetected for quite some time by the untrained eye.

So, I’m dying to ask, but have you had a SEO audit performed on your website?

If not, then I’m sure after today’s post you will want to have a SEO audit performed ASAP.

In today’s post, I’ll discuss how performing a SEO audit will help identify and verify indexing frequency, and off-page and on-page optimization strategies.

Let’s dive in, and pick up from where we last left off.

Series: SEO Audit Increases SEO Effectiveness

A series about increasing SEO effectiveness by having a consistent SEO audit performed.
Written by: Alvin Brown

Much like having your car’s oil changed or visiting a general physician each year to determine your health and well-being, it is recommended that your website receive an SEO audit. Why?

The easy answer is that an SEO audit is vital to help gauge and measure how effective or ineffective your search engine optimization strategies and efforts are for your website.

If certain SEO tools or methods were not consistently generating customer growth and revenue or keeping your from growing your business, wouldn’t you want to know about it?

Sure you would want to know about it.

Knowing about ineffective SEO efforts could save you time and money, and find another proven and sound internet marketing strategy and tool to invest in that will bring you results.

Although it is quite simple to push a SEO Audit to the back burner in sake of other bottom-line enhancing business activities, it’s actually worthwhile to take preventative SEO action versus reactive.

I can’t begin to tell you the number of times I’ve had customers frantically call or email me about lost or damaged search engine rankings.

Performing an SEO audit on the customer’s website, I discover a multitude of small SEO problems that have accumulated to gargantuan issues.

Sometimes these issues cause the customer’s website to be penalized or de-indexed from search engines altogether.

Other times it is loss of rankings without a penalty which takes less work to correct.

However, the common ground and conclusion for most of the issues and challenges I find is that they all could have been prevented or identified before harm was caused by performing a consistent SEO audit.

Personally, I perform monthly as well as quarterly checks on my own websites in addition to a variety of customer websites.

Thinking about the various issues I’ve encountered across a number of customer websites, I’ve developed a list of some top reasons to perform consistent SEO audits to increase and maintain website traffic and search engine rankings.

In today’s first of 3 series post, we’ll discuss two reasons you should strive to consistently perform SEO audits for your website.

  • Part Two: SEO Audit Increases SEO Effectiveness
  • Part Three: SEO Audit Increases SEO Effectiveness

White-Hat SEO or Black-Hat SEO: Which hat wins?

June 18, 2013 5 Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

The title says it all.  Not many knew the difference between white-hat SEO and black-hat SEO tactics until penguins and pandas brutally attacked them.

I can’t express the importance of knowing every detail about the type of search engine optimization (SEO) tactics deployed on your website to rank across all search engines. 

I’ve personally worked at and for companies as well as fielded calls and requests from customers in dire need of understanding why their websites have been penalized, lost traffic, or, worst, been de-indexed by all search engines (OUCH!).

Most of the time, many actions are in play that is quite detrimental to the loss of search ranking and organic search traffic.

Sometimes the customer is at fault due to a lack of search engine knowledge and experience to understand the difference between good and bad SEO tactics.

Other times, deceitful SEO consultants or firms take advantage of an unsuspecting customer.

Or the customer blatantly participates in bad SEO tactics, also known as black-hat SEO, for a variety of reasons.

No matter the cause for drifting to the dark side of SEO, most customers don’t want to take the time to perform good SEO, also known as white-hat SEO tactics.

The common goal of all customers seeking SEO is quite simple: increase website traffic and sales.

In today’s post, I hope to help you better understand white-hat SEO versus black-hat SEO and how both can make or break your website and business with a simple algorithm update.

Leased websites: Can they increase website traffic?

June 13, 2013 1 Comment
Written by: Alvin Brown

Leased websites are nothing new under the sun in terms of generating customer growth and revenue for businesses.

At its core, leased websites are nothing more than lead generation websites given a different name some would say. 

And if you have been around sales and marketing longer than 15 minutes, then you’ll appreciate and understand their worlds are built around an important business of concern: lead generation. 

And what are leads?

Simply put, leads typically refer to a person or set of persons who are ready to buy your products, uses your services, or simply shows great interest in your business.

Lead generation is a popular inbound marketing term used by businesses as a means of attracting new customers.

Businesses use lead generation as a method to achieve consistent and qualified sales leads which generate consistent streams of revenue and increased market share.

There are many ways to generate leads in business, such as through advertisements, phone calls, and word of mouth.

In today’s post, I will attempt to help you further understand the pros and cons of lead generation using leased websites.

I will discuss in great detail how leased websites could prove to be good or bad based on the type of business you own and operate.

Written by: Alvin Brown

Open any web browser and use the Internet, I’m willing to bet you will come into contact with pay-per-click advertising (PPC) at some point during you web usage.

You see pay-per-click ads on top, bottom, and to the right of all pages in search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo as well as social media websites, Facebook to be more exact.
