How to look for a “Niche Website” Concept

March 15th, 2012 admin

A great “Site Concept” must…

  • be in demand. A reasonable number of people must be searching for information about your theme. If your theme is too narrow (ex., an unknown off-island-off-an-off-island in the Caribbean), there is not enough demand for you to monetize, even if your entire (too tiny) market finds you!
  • not be too broad. If your Site Concept is too broad, the competition will be severe. The number of competing Web pages (the “Real Supply”) is just too great, especially since broad themes usually have major competitors. For example, it is impossible to “own” the theme of “travel.” Leave those super-broad themes to companies like expedia.com. Even the Site Concept of “Caribbean” is highly competitive. If you have 60 hours per week and are ready to work for a year, you might succeed. But creating a site about one of the islands is your best opportunity…
    • You most likely know a lot about one island. And that goes for “islands of knowledge,” not just geographic islands!
    • The competition will be less intense. So it will be easier for your well-written content pages to rank highly with the free Search Engines.
    • Those who find you will be highly targeted. They will be much more interested in your Content.

8 General Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tips

April 7th, 2010 admin

1) Be Realistic
Everybody knows the “ideal” keyword that they would like to rank for, but the chances of ranking well for this keyword may be slim / almost impossible in competitive industries. Be realistic with yourself in terms of the amount of time, money and effort required to rank well for these search terms. Does the potential reward justify the time and effort? Are your competitors actively carrying out SEO work? Would the rewards of achieving 6th / 7th position justify the effort? Are you competing against big brands outsourcing their SEO to large search marketing companies? Prioritize your tasks and look at outsourcing opportunities if you do not have the time necessary to complete tasks. You should be asking yourself all of these questions before deciding on a primary keyword to target.
2) Short Term / Long Term Goals

Related to the point above, setting realistic short and long term goals are great ways of staying motivated. Keep the short term goals towards longer tail search terms. If you already have a relatively established site, which terms are currently driving significant amounts of traffic? How easy will it be to increase the ranking of this term? Use click through rate data to predict the number of clicks you can achieve.

How to practices and the abandoned SEO techniques

November 16th, 2009 admin
In the SEO world one thing is certain: the “best practices” come and go. Due to excessive spamming or because of the appearance of new technologies and methods, these practices are abandoned.

Most of the techniques in SEO are based on the following principals:

1. Spiders are stupid: Help them parse your site. Use the tools you have efficiently.
2. Spiders are clever: Create quality content and they will find you and rank you well. Do not use black hat techniques because you risk getting banned.
3. Focus on the user experience: Design the websites mainly (but not only) for users and give them what they need. This is how you will get links and receive more traffic.

In this article we will not elaborate on the details of the principals mentioned above. Instead we will reveal 3 practices that used to be very popular in the past, but now are abandoned or they do not influence the search rankings as much as they used to.
PageRank Sculpting by using rel=nofollow

This PageRank Sculpting technique was heavily used by many SEOs, as it helped them manipulate the PR flow of their sites. Google never recommended this technique.

Maximize CPM

July 28th, 2009 admin

One factor outweighs all others in achieving the best CPMs possible: quality high-value traffic.
In the current economic climate, the days of burning through end-of-quarter budgets from lofty advertisers are unrealistic. Advertisers are increasingly looking to achieve their CPA performance goals while spending less on pure branding campaigns.
Publishers need to adjust.
To maximize your potential and deliver high CPMs, you need to be aware of your click-through rates and improve the performance conversion rates of your users. Matching campaigns with your user demographics will help this. One simple example: gaming campaigns work well on gaming traffic. Ideally, advertising should be an appealing part of your overall site content.
Too many ads seen in one day by your audience also hurts eCPMs. Frequency cap your traffic to generate higher CPMs. The first view is always the best quality, so displaying the ads with a “freq cap” of 1/24 can be a standard request from advertisers. Keep in mind that certain ad sizes and placements always perform the best: 300×250 medium rectangles and 728×90 leader boards are often the best performing sizes. Picking obscure sizes can result in not having the creatives to run in the placement, as there is a lack of advertisers and, thus low CPMs.
Placement is critical to performance too.

Don’t write articles only for SEO purposes

May 18th, 2009 admin

I don’t mean to say you write articles only for SEO purposes: write articles to share knowledge. SEO is a just a beneficial by-product. Every website needs inbound links because search engines use the number of “valid” inbound links to evaluate your website and rank it accordingly. It is not the only factor but it is an important factor.
When people directly link to your website you cannot control what anchor text the other webmasters use. You can request them to change it but it is not practical to track every incoming link and then ask the webmaster to use the right anchor text. The best way is, submit articles that already have the right anchor text in the links.
Meaningless articles filled with loads of keywords are a strict no-no if you want your  article marketing campaign to be effective.
Often you will find publishers of article  directory sites rejecting them outright.  While SEO is an important goal for any  business owner to direct traffic to the site, it shouldn’t be the only goal of article marketing. The main focus should be on
imparting useful knowledge, ideas and practical tips that readers can use.
Only then will the publisher feel the article is of worth.

Does my article title use clear and concise wording?

May 3rd, 2009 admin

1. Consider expanding your article title by forty percent  (40%). Evidence suggests that longer article titles  produce more views per article vs. short article titles.
2. Longer article titles can also increase your reprint rate  and value. The narrower the focus, the more  specialized the reprint website and the more qualified  the visitor/reader. This results in a greater referral rate  of traffic to your website.
Tip: For EzineArticles.com, your article title can be up to 100 characters long. Make your article title just a little
longer than what might feel comfortable and you will often see a higher return from your article in terms of how much traffic it can attract for you.
3. A good article title length is greater than 70 characters   but less than 100 characters.
4. Get to the point. Do not use exclamatory wording like  “You Don’t Want to Miss This”  or “This is a Must Read”
in your article title to induce urgency.  It usually just  induces annoyance. If your article is good, you don’t
need it in your title. Focus on the article topic.
5. Rambling on and on in your article title shows a lack  of respect for your readers time. Most people make the
mistake of spending 99% of their time on the article  body and 1% on the article title.

How building an SBI (Site Build It ) site grows wealth

March 21st, 2009 admin

Most of us know what it’s like to work for others. When the work stops, so does the pay.
Having money in the bank, of course, is different. The bank pays interest.
That’s how money differs from wealth. Money changes hands. Wealth accumulates.
I have created wealth with our write at home websites. Every page we post (and we have posted over a thousand!) is a page that will be earning for us tomorrow…and ten years from tomorrow.
Try to imagine how good that feels. We could stop working on any or all of our websites and they’d still be working for us.

THAT’S how wealth accumulates.
Want to accumulate some for yourself? For your family?

I can’t recommend SiteBuildIt highly enough. Once you’ve used it you can’t fathom building a website any other way.
We want a business, not a lottery ticket. We want to be able to count on getting results for our efforts, rather than merely hoping for a positive outcome.
Now, you may not have as much time to spare for your new website as we do.
That’s okay. Lots of great websites are written slowly, over time. You’ll take comfort and have pride in knowing that your spare minutes are being spent building something for your – and your family’s – future.
