Get Links For SEO The Right Way

• By Donny Kemick

You know you need to be focused on ranking better in search engines. The major engines still value quality inbound likes highly. Your first thought may be, "OK, how do we get links for SEO?". Sure, you want a bunch of links to your site, but you don't want just any links... They need to be HIGH QUALITY links. What Are High Quality Links? Isn't a link a link? NO! If they were all made equally, there wouldn't be so many website owners scrambling to get junk links to their site removed. Those junk links were often created by a linking company that they hired to get as many inbound links as possible. The missing element for most of the links built by these companies is relevancy. The relevancy of the inbound links to your site is REALLY important. For instance, a marketing blog that links to one of our posts is a highly relevant link.

• By Josh Curcio

To increase search engine rank for a brand new website, you are presented with slightly different challenges than a business with a website that's been around for awhile.

SEO Statistics That Should Motivate Your Business

• By Donny Kemick

I'm sure you've been told that you need SEO to be successful online. You may even intellectually know that it will help your business. Often though, that's not enough. We still see major website redesigns by non-clients that have completely overlooked SEO. In this day an age of the web, that's simply unnacceptable. Here are some excellent SEO statistics to consider and hopefully motivate your business to act. On Average, 12 BILLION Searches are conducted online per month in the U.S.. (Comscore) There are approximately 318.9 million people living in the United States. That's about 38 searches per month, per person. Since most babies, small children, and elderly folks don't do a lot of searches, I'd guess that number is much higher per online person. You have to ask yourself, what percentage of those searches are people looking for the solution you provide. Where are you in the rankings? 60% of all organic clicks go to the first 3 search results. (Business2Community) Organic results are ...

How to Rank Better in Google

• By Josh Curcio

If you have a website, you've no doubt asked yourself at one point in time, "how do I rank better in Google". If you don't quite understand, by rank I mean showing up when someone performs a search on Google.

To be aware of losses in traffic you must first be monitoring the activity on the site (likely using Google Analytics) and if you want to catch something like this quickly, you must know what the trends in your website activity look like.

How Inbound Marketing Changes Keyword Research for SEO

• By Josh Curcio

When I first entered the online marketing world one of my first tasks was keyword research for SEO (search engine optimization). Back then nobody was talking about inbound marketing. We were primarily focused on getting more people to the site. We'd start by researching the business itself, the products/services, the business' website, the industry, the competitors, and the business's website.

These keywords were primarily focused on what the business had to offer or the industry. Some of the keywords were short, broad, and general while some of the keywords would be long tail keywords. Example: refrigerator vs energy efficient refrigerator.
