Search Engine Optimization Analysis

Analysis is the process of breaking a complex topic or substance into smaller parts to gain a better understanding of it. The technique has been applied in the study of mathematics and logic since before Aristotle, though analysis as a formal concept is a relatively recent development.

I spent a good part of the last six years posting on forums and blogs and trying to help others make money as well as learn new techniques for myself. The one thing I have come to learn and understand is that people in the search engine optimization industry love to attack other people that are doing search engine optimization. It’s a lot easier then listening to new ideas or a different way of doing things.

When I first started reading and posting on forums I was new and had no idea were doing. I could understand the attacks then but over the years we have managed to rank for just about ever competitive keyword within this industry yet the attacks continue.

The funny part is that if you do a search for their sites you find most barley rank for a couple non-competitive keywords. Maybe I just need to find a better quality of forms to post in.

If you are trying to make money online, you do not need to understand how the search engines work you need to understand how the people searching work.
Focus on them and not the search engines, and you can make money online.

I want to start by saying anything I do to my website, that can be physically seen is done so for the site visitors. I would never put search engine rankings or search engine manipulation above what a site visitor would see.

After all, it doesn’t matter how many visitors we can get to our websites, if the website want convert them it want matter.
With that being said I would also like to say that the search engines are changing daily, therefore just because something works today doesn’t mean that it will work tomorrow.

I do use header tags on my websites, but it has nothing to do with the search engines. I use them so I can control the size and look of the text in different parts of my sites.

I have tested the use of header tags and have not seen them affect the ranking of a website in the last year or more. I know that many SEO’s still preach the use of header tags, but something’s never change in their minds.

Search Engine Friendly Web Development & Optimization

I had some friends come in late last night from the US who wanted to talk with me about making Money online. One of the topics that came up was doing online marketing. We talked about the shape of the economy and the fact that online marketing was one of the few businesses that should get better as the economy gets worst.

With that being said I explained that the most important part of marketing was to make sure that your client was about to get a return on his investment and that you were able to show him the return.

Marketing a website about making money online is easy. Hit the forums hard and brag about what you’re able to do however, when it comes to marketing a website that’s selling an actual product all that changes. Bragging or in some cases even posting on forums is no longer an option.

I do believe that Google has gotten complex enough over the years that what works to rank one set of keywords want work to rank another. It’s the ability to be flexible and change directions at the drop of a hat that allows any SEO to become successful.

A couple years I jumped into the world of Plastic Wrist Bands. and what I thought was a market with very little competition. Over the years I found that competing in the silicone wristband market was a lot more competitive then I had first thought. However, by aggressively increasing our conversion on the site as well as trying to rank the site we were always able to show the client a return on his investment.

Making money online is never ending and people whom claim it’s a 4 hour work week are not making money online. Things that work today may or may not work tomorrow depending on so many factors that one would have to write a book just to explain it all. However, by the time the book was published it would all be obsolete and they would have to start over because of the rate at which things change in the search engine friendly web development & optimization industry.
