Google Base & Its Benefits

Today I am going to be having a good look at Google Base for one of my clients and this means formatting correct an excel document so that I can upload a big amount of their products onto Google Base so that we can hopefully see a big increase in visitors from that.

The good thing with Google Base that makes it such a cool thing is that it means for certain keywords you can essentially get a top position on Google for free. Formatting the document is not an issue as I have studied it in depth and done a few practice runs before I commit to a big amount of products. What I will say however is that optimising the Google Base document is something that I will have to look at and I think it is done through good descriptions and URLs - which we have both of.

Needless to say this is a big deal especially in the run up to Christmas and if done correctly it could have massive potential traffic increases for my client. I will try and get this done by Wednesday so that it is taken care of and so that we can hopefully start seeing some good results from it.

Google Base is something that can really turn around the seo results that we could get this client in the first month and hopefully make such a big impact that we can secure this client for the foreseeable future.

Guest Blogging Effectively

Hello everyone, today I just want to run over how i think guest blogging should be done so that it is effective and worthwhile for your business. Many people allow you to guest blog in random website all over the Internet however while they are sometimes worth doing so you can get a good anchor text link from them, I feel that you should try and focus on a few well known blogs that are directly related to your market, so that you can get a good following on there and earn some good link juice to.

For example being in the affordable seo services market I have found that I know a good few web companies that all have bogs on their website and for me to request to guest blog for them once a month would be more than welcome. This is a really good relationship to develop as it allow them to get some good content on their website but also I will get a good link back to my own website. So if you can build up a good amount of blogs to be able to get these guest blog slots on then you can definitely get some good links and traffic from them.

Also do not be afraid to let someone guest blog for your won website either because the same thing goes here again. Firstly it allows you to do something else with your time instead of blogging which can be a nice change of pace and also having someone else write a blog post can add a new twist to a topic and make your blog more diverse.

Yahoo Site Explorer Suggests Google Un-indexing Pages

Well I have been keeping a close eye on my website as it is relatively new and so I want to see how Google treats it. I have found it to be quite strange because on one hand Google has allowed me to get some great results on the competitive term 'affordable seo' which I am now on Page 2 for and trying to close a Page 1 top5 5 rank as soon as possible. I am also doing quite well with the term 'seo wiltshire' which I am trying to close to a top 5 page 1 position as well.

Also I have been increasing the number of pages on my website from 5 up to 12 and over the weeks I saw Google begin to index them one by one. However the other day I noticed it go down from 12 to 11 and now 10 indexed pages on Google using the yahoo site explorer tool. I think that I will not take too much notice of this as I can still find the pages on a Google search which suggests that I might just be seeing a slight variation in my statistics and also as my web site is new it is not uncommon for Google to start applying stricter measures to it.

I will be no doubt keeping a close eye and hopefully will not see the amount of pages decreasing as it is quite worrying. I do feel however that I am keeping to close an eye on it all and as a result micro managing data that is more of an estimate than a definite answer.

Work is going well and I am looking at taking my first ecommerce project on which I feel will greatly help the websites seo rankings especially if it is all done correctly.

A Few New Ideas For J21Media

Well this is going to be an informal post mainly because I am really tired and I have a lot of blogging to do today where I have to remain professional and interesting. So being able to blog in a relaxed way is a welcome task. Luckily the weather here is beautiful and there isn't a cloud in the sky, so I must say I am happy as a result of that.

I am doing very well for the key term affordable seo and also for seo wiltshire, which I am looking to lock down to a top 5 Page 1 position by the end of the month. I have also secured some pretty good seo accounts which is keeping me nice and busy with plenty of link building, press releases and article marketing. Ideally I would like to get another 2 or 3 decent sized seo accounts and then I would be quite happy. I think if I can get to Page 1 Pos 5 on Google ready for the new year for affordable seo, I could score some decent business early 2011 as people will be looking to start fresh with their seo strategies.

On the note of Christmas shopping I have been looking around for a football shirt or maybe even a football kit. The Soccerbox is an extremely cool website that I have been looking at and I must say they offer some pretty good prices - might have to buy myself an Arsenal Kit for Christmas.

I also for see my next move being involved in ecommerce solutions and that means ranking for a keyword such as 'ecommerce solutions' which could seem me getting a few decent sized jobs each month and then I obviously have the option of seo to offer as well. I am just running these ideas over in my mind, but I will make my decision in the coming weeks on the next seo move.

Article Marketing Is A Great Seo Assett

I wanted to share a quick blog as to why I think and feel article marketing is a good seo technique and one that I will keep employing for my seo needs and strategy. One of the main reasons I like it is because you actually can offer some useful information to people who are actively researching a subject, and secondly you get topic related anchor text back link to your website which is great.

People talk of this type of marketing to be an area of seo that will eventually perish however I try to not get to wrapped up in that debate because truth is seo will keep changing and that means at some point even link building might not be a necessary seo practise. At this second in time article marketing is a good tool and it is a good way to get a website out into the article directories and also to get solid back links into your website.

I must say though that article marketing in general is not easy to do because it takes a lot of time to create an article that is a decent read, which then takes me on to any companies that do try black hat seo practises do not tend to like to do anything that requires time or effort - they are all about the quick fixes. This says to me that bad seo companies will avoid article writing and marketing because to do it well takes a lot of time and effort.

Anyway many people have conflicting views on a lot of aspects of seo and this is just one of those conflicts explained in a way that does favour article marketing as a good thing. You then also need to think about distributing the articles into many different article directories so that you get a good spread of inbound links and are not just getting all your links from one place such as Go Articles.

Original Content Is King

Well guys and girls, just a quick post on why I think content is king in terms of successful seo. The bottom line is Google is looking for fresh and original content when it is processing its algorithm however as coming up with original quality content is not an easy task and takes some time and hard work, many people choose to try and skip this step and do not put as much emphasis on it as they should and this same point goes for original article writing and marketing.

Any new account that I get I do recommend a blog whether it is on their website or off their website, I always think a good company blog is essential to success. Firstly because it is a great source of inbound links to your website and also to other people websites. Secondly their is a lot of relevant content getting put on a blog especially if it is kept up to date each day. Finally people often search for what we in the seo game call 'long tail keywords' and these can be covered by doing blog posts on quite popular phrases or on various topics.

Take this blog entry that I am putting in now. If I get a few links coming into this particular page then I could end up ranking quite well when someone types in the key phrases, original content is king. Simple.

For my business I have 2 blogs, one is more formal that when I get sometime I will incorporate into my actual website and this blog is a little more informal, where I can write about topics and then go off on a tangent and discuss the fact I am just about to go to the gym (see what I did there).

Anyway if you want to be a success in seo, start at the basics, and get your content original and regularly updated - the google gods will appreciate it and reward you well.

Sunday Morning Call and Birthday Blog

It is Sunday and officially my birthday today. Somewhere along the way birthdays just stop being exciting and big events of the year and just become another day. Anyway I am just updating my blogs today then I am going to shut my computer down and leave link building, blogging, forums and all affordable seo word alone.

I have had a good few days and have got a few decent clients on board lately so in many ways that is a nice birthday gift for my business. I have also come to Page 2 on Google for affordable seo and to be honest I am going to lock down Page 1 by the end of the month. Then I will move my attentions to article marketing and I think I will have that keyword locked down perhaps after the new year. I am also ranking on the first page for the term 'seo wiltshire' which is great but I am hoping to get to the top 5 soon, however I have not been putting the effort into that lately.

I need to put some good effort into that and get a Squidoo page, a Hub page and then a good 20 articles submitted and I would like to think I would be seeing a decent ranking. Once I lo0ck both of those 2 terms down I will have a think about what else I want to achieve but I think as long as I do 5 article per keyword each month and go some blogging then I should hold those 2 keywords relatively easily.

In good old fashioned ambitious style my mind has already began thinking about big key terms such as seo services and online marketing where these keywords have something around 40,000 searches each month and online marketing 70,000 searches per month. Anyway I will take my time and lock down affordable seo and then article marketing first and secure some more accounts.

Then I will look at doing a monthly article push for one of the bigger terms and attempt to lock down a big seo term. I am aware that these will take time but if I implement a strategy of 20 articles per month, some blogging when I can, 10 organic links per month and just stick to that over say 6 months, I am sure that I will start closing in on the first page on Google.

Anyways ambition aside everything is going well and I will be starting my new clients seo work tomorrow which is exciting stiff.

Online Marketing Market Development

I have been spending quite a bit of time in the blogosphere contributing and reading articles and I have read quite a few lately on the fact the online marketing is on the rise among high street retailers. More over it seems that this fact is being backed up by more solid figures and data than ever before which is a superb for seo companies.

This increase means that people are going to not only be developing new websites but now looking for quality affordable seo companies to deliver them good online marketing results. So how do we as seo companies capitalise on this I hear you ask? Well simply we need to not neglect our own seo campaigns and keep on developing links, articles, blog comments, directory listings and link bait for our own companies and websites. This is where the retailers are going to be searching and this is where they are going to be doing their business.

I speak to many seo companies and the funny thing is the best seo companies i.e. the ones who are the busiest do not have the time to invest into their own seo strategy or online marketing presence. In many ways they do not need to because they are up to full capacity, however then it comes down to growing your business and that is when you should be taking on new accounts and out sourcing the work to other seo consultants and taking a nice percentage for doing nothing but managing the account and making sure that the correct strategy is being employed. This takes great organisation skills but delegation is essential for business growth.

For J21Media I intend to always have at least 10 articles a month, a daily updated blog each day and some links from directories and forums to keep my online presence growing. I think this can be done quite easily, you just have to go the extra mile but if you are determined to grow your company and its seo rank then it should come quite easily.

Informal Post - It's Friday!

Well like the title suggests this is going to be a nice informal post but we will touch on some seo topics. Just to add I went to my new gym yesterday - the 24 hour gym it is called - and submitted to this new workout programme which involves quite intense weight lifting. I woke up this morning and I literally cannot straighten my arms and my chest is very painful not to mention my calves as well. Needless to say it is days like these I like the fact that I can have a hot coffee and the most active part of my day is making lunch.

Enough about my physical pain and lets get on to how business is going. To sum up I am doing pretty good with some steady orders coming in and also one big account sounds like they will be on board with money paid today/ tomorrow. I am happy with myself for getting 20 articles done all around the key term affordable seo and I have distributed them across 3 article websites so far and 3 other article websites are pending. If I can get 5 good sites for distribution then I will be happy as it gives a nice mix.

Unfortunately I have been cut short because I thought i would have more time this month to produce another 20 articles and target 10 of them on article marketing however by the looks of this big order I might not be able to do that as i want to focus much of my time on making that a success. It will not be easy because in my opinion the customer is trying to spread his budget over to many keywords and that in my opinion is why he is not having great results. I will endeavour to do my best and go the extra mile for the first month and see how I do.

Alas (bit of Old English there) it is time to finish this extremely informal blog post and get cracking on 1 article and some research for the weekend. My birthday is this weekend as well so might be taking the whole day off and that even means no blog postings!

General Ramblings Of A Hard Day

Well it is 7pm and I am officially beat mentally and physically. I have been up since 7am link building for my terms affordable seo and article marketing. Then I went to the gym and was put on a program that I cannot feel my muscles with and so understandably am tired. Also I just finished my last article for tonight and now just need to update this blog and my day is done.

I sent an invoice out today and it is looking pretty good the new design of the invoice in pdf format. I have stopped using word for document because they sometimes do not open on apple macs and so a nice pdf looks nice a professional. Think I could be busy over the next month so that is why I am pushing my articles now as I will not have as much time if I get this big order in. Currently on page 6 for affordable seo and have not even looked at where I am for article marketing. I will try and keep pushing though and make time for my own website because that is what is going to keep the bread on the table. To many seo companies neglect their own seo ranking i think because they just get to busy.

I am going to review some advanced link building techniques so that I am up to date with some better techniques and then I can utilise this in my other day to day activities. Seo is proving to be an exciting mistress and I am happy that I set about this venture. Just need to secure 2 to 3 more regular accounts and I will be financially sweet for the foreseeable six months.

Anyways sorry for the short blog post and the lack of interesting content but I need a shower and some dinner - early night for me because tomorrow we start it all again!

High Authority Links Are Achievable But Difficult

I recently had a look into a website that was ranking on the first page of Google for a competitive keyword but was not in the top 5. The chap asked me to have a look into it to see what I felt was the reasons and what I would do to counter act it and climb the ranks.

It is a very tough call for an affordable seo company like me to make because essentially much of the hard work has been done and completed because they have achieved the 1st Page but then taking them up the final stages is sometimes just as hard as getting to the first page. The key thing to remember here is it possible but you need to be thinking about quality of links and not quantity.

When i did my competitor backlink look up I noticed some pretty great links coming in from some big websites like The Guardian, ESPN and the likes of those which will carry a great amount of authority with them. To be able to increase this position we would need to look at establishing similar authority links as well as trying to acquire links from the same websites. This is not an easy fete and would take a lot of time trying to work out how to achieve it, but it is possible.

Next I would want to start trying to get links from semi popular websites because I also noticed that the websites that were out ranking him had a greater volume of links as well. In my opinion we need to increase link volume and link quality and then in the space of a few months we should see a positive move in the rankings.

Taking on an established company is always tricky because you do not want to be in charge if it drops off Page 1 and take the blame when in reality it is probably more to do with the last seo company removing backlinks because they have changed companies.

Either way high authority backlinks is key to locking down a top 5 position in my opinion.

Becoming a Guest Blogger Has Its Benefits

Blogging is a great way to engage in the web design and seo market by being able to leave comments publicly and also to see what other peoples opinions are on a particular subject or topic. When you post a comment on a blog normally they are nofollow links which is completely understandable otherwise people would be spamming every blog form here to the edge of the world.

Still engaging in the community is a great thing to do and it really is a vital part of being a good seo professional. Also the nofollow links still do carry some weight with them and it has been suggested that a person who regularly engages in many blogs over a long period of time can acquire some good authority from the many nofollow links as it clearly shows he or she is an active member of the online community and is not bothered about just dofollow links.

Anyway this brings me to my point of guest blogging on other web designers or seo consultants blogs or news feeds on their websites. Why I hear you ask? Simply because they know that having their blog updated is a good thing for their website as it fresh content to be crawled. Also updating a blog on a daily basis is time consuming and after a while is a pain to do especially when you are very busy. This form of blog writing is a mutation of article marketing, as you are writing an article for someone else but distributing it on their blog.

The beauty of it really is that the website gets fresh content for free but also your guest blogger will be able to have one anchor text backlink going back to his website for 'payment' for doing a good article post on your blog.

The issue here is it is better if you know the person who wants to guest blog or you have had professional dealings with them before, but I am confident that if you email 20 web small companies who understand good seo, then you should be able to get one or two of them saying yes to you doing a guest blog for them perhaps once a month.

All in all we are after dofollow anchor text back links and what better way than getting a few sneaky links from websites related to seo for free.

The Three Biggest Areas Of Good Seo

Well it has been about three weeks getting on for a month since I have began this quest to learn seo in more depth and to get my website J21Media to start climbing the search engines for that elusive number one spot that every one on Google, Yahoo and Bing want to achieve.

Good seo comes down to a lot of things but one thing for sure is that it can not be easily faked or manipulated which is why you need to be quite skilled in what you do when looking at optimisation. The biggest factor really for any seo company is to keep learning and reading and digesting the new theories and applying them to what you do.

Like I say it early doors for my rankings but I am making exciting progress on affordable seo which I hope to do even better with by pushing article marketing this month. In the short time I have been looking at seo in my opinion good seo is made up of the following 3 areas - do not get me wrong there are many more areas however I think these three are main stream and essential.

1. Link building ethically and organically. There is some big debates over this however I do feel some good quality link building is still vital to success online. Anchor text links do gain good authority and these need to be pursued where ever possible.

2. Good on page seo and this involves basic elements such as good title tags on index page, h1 headers, good original content on the home page, good content throughout website, descriptive urls, good navigation system for robots and an updated blog. These are all simple elements to do but they are definitely essential.

3. Article marketing in my opinion is still a good marketing and seo tool to use as it gets the name out there in an original format and also it gets some anchor text backlinks back to your website. As long as the content is original then i think this will maintain as a good form of seo.

These 3 topics are what I see as important to seo but when the terms get more competitive then you need to start utilising link baits, high authority links, forums, press releases and pretty much anything that can generate more traffic and authority.

The Social Network & More

Having recently watched The Social Network I though that it would be a nice relaxing topic to blog on considering that it has in many ways revolutionised how we use the Internet and how people now interact. Many a night out has ended not with can I get your number but can I get your Facebook - both these questions are normally given a no but that is not the point. The point is that this website has changed the way we socialise off the Internet as well.

The film itself is a great screen play and it is deserving of all the hype that it has received in the press in recent months. They balance the drama and fact really well and it makes for one hell of a good watch. I was a little skeptical because I had read the book first and often you always prefer a good book to a good movie, but I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it just as much as the book.

I think one of my favourite scenes was when he found out that Mark had essentially diluted him out of the company so that he was no longer a part of Facebook and the brutal reality of how money and passion can destroy friendships. A very well put together film and if I had a star system on here it would be a solid 5 stars.

As I stated on my other blog post, I am rethinking my keywords which is a bit annoying because I thought I was sure however i have thought about what I really want to rank for in 6 months and the commercial appeal of the term copywriter. It is very appealing but I guess i am saying that ranking for a term more commercial such as seo services might be more exciting.

It is nearly double the search count and so double as competitive as the term copywriter but who cares. I need to be aggressive in link building and article writing with a good distribution network and maintain a solid work ethic to be successful with it. Fact is any keyword is achievable, just need to put the work in.

So the plan is to go after seo services and affordable seo as the two core terms and then focus on my tier 2 keywords that are content writing, article marketing and copywriting services that are much less competitive but are very niche so could result in some good search traffic results if I can achieve a Page 1 rank on  Google.

Importance Of Blog Updating

Updating a blog can be a bit of a long process and sometimes it is very difficult to write 300 words or so on a subject every single day. For J21Media I currently have 2 blogs going as I have a lot to say with the amount of articles and work I am learning and doing each day.

Also at the moment I am really trying to push the key words I am going for and to be honest the results that I am achieving in such an early stage are providing me with all the encouragement I need. The key terms are doing good and I do think the term affordable seo is going to be the one that I nail to Page 1 Google first out of content writing, copywriting services and copywriter.

Copywriter is going to be the longest and probably the hardest to nail down however I think if I can achieve some solid anchor text back links from some good sources then I feel this will get me ranking well quite soon.

Updating a blog each day however is important because Google will keep indexing your blog if it is constantly being updated because it sees it as relevant and new all the time. By having 2 blogs as well I can use one blog for targeting the index page of the back links and the other blog i.e. this blog at targeting my Tier 2 pages so that they get the variety and some link love as well.

My next big intention is to finish off my website as I have a lot more content to go on it and also to start thinking about exactly what services I will be offering. I think I will offer a link building services because I do think that is essential to successful seo and I do know how to do it as well.

Copywriting Services Strategy

Ok I wrote on my other blog about my success with seo wiltshire and the fact that I am now on the first page for that term in Google and the way things are going I think I can achieve a number 1 position for that term. Now this is a good success especially so early on in my attempt to be successful in seo. What I will say is that I know need to start focusing my abilities on to more pressing matters such as being successful for the term copywriting services.

The issue I have here is that it is not inlcuded in my Title tags on my home page otherwise I think I would have ranked for that by now. I think that perhaps I need to rethink where I point the anchor text backlinks too instead of the index page but direct them to the copywriting services page. This is an area of confusion to me which I might try to get some clairty on by reading some more articles around advanced backlinks.

Copywriting services is not a very competitive keyword and so I am quite confident I will be able to lock it down however I need to establish which is the better way to go about it. Especially when the keyword or phrase in question is not included in the title tag on the home page but is in the title tag on the Tier 2 pages.

Perhaps I will run it over my friend Martyn who can explain to me what would be the more sensible way to go about it. I am trying to limit the amount of advice I get from him because I want to try and study and arrive at the answers myself as I feel this will give me a much better understanding of seo and quality link building practises.

Some Positive SEO Results To Report

It is Thursday and the weather is nice and cloudy down in the South West of England and I have to be honest I am a little tired while writing this. Things have been going really well in my seo quest to get J21Media to rank well for the key terms I specified which were copywriter, copywriting services, content writing, affordable seo and a new recent addition seo wiltshire. Some of these key terms are not overly tough to achieve but some do have quite a high competition to them.

Affordable seo is the key term that is in the middle in terms of it is quite competitive but to be honest I am having some fantastic results coming in very early on from it. We started the week at Page 20 on Google, then achieved Page 15 and last night I couldn't believe we had got to Page 9. To me this is such a positive result because I have noticed Google beginning to pickup my backlinks which probably is resulting in this jump. the good thing is that I know I have about 20 more backlinks that Google hasn't indexed yet which makes me confident for a first Page within the next month.

I also intend to do some good article marketing around this keyword to get some good inlinks from these article directories. I have been working on my website as well, producing more pages on seo and copywriter topics so that my website is seen as relevant and useful by the Search Engines. I really want a content rich website so that I know that I am maximising my on page seo and then focusing on building a few backlinks each day, a few articles each day and updating my blogs each day. It is my belief that these techniques will yield great results for J21Media.

The term copywriter and copywriting services are remaining illusive at this stage as I do not seem to be within the first 20 Pages of Google for either. I am not worried as I know that copywriter is the most competitive word I am going for and so is going to take the longest and I also know that the term copywriting services is not in my title tag due to the length of it. I feel I will get somewhere with copywriting services when I start focusing my link building and article marketing on that specific anchor text backlink and I do not feel I will need it in my title tag.

My only question is should I put the back links to the index page of my website or the copywriting services page of my website?

Keyword Stuffing and Paid Links For SEO

A lovely Wednesday morning in the South East in Wiltshire and i am happier today firstly because the heating has been on meaning that I am not wearing three jumpers and secondly because the weather is quite nice out. Don't get me wrong it is still freezing but something about a nice blue sky even if cold that makes you feel better than a cloudy grey one.

Anyway today I have been working my way through Chapter 9 of my seo guide from Seomoz and it has been around seo myths and manipulating the search engines and general 'black hat' techniques. All the techniques at one point or another in my past when I hadn't a clue about seo would be ideas that have come to my mind. I am glad to see how the search engines handle these bad practises because at the end of the day, it makes for better search results and everyone benefits from good results. Also now i am pursuing a career in white hat seo work, it means that I can have some long term success in something. I guess the attraction to the 'black hat' seo stuff or 'the dark side' is down to the ease of doing it. I like to go to the analogy that if something were easy then everybody would be doing it. 'White hat' is the way forward - definitely.

My key words are going well and I have been doing some link building but I will begin this properly next week and also some article marketing as well. I will write an article around the keyword 'content writing' later and submit it to the article directory ezinearticles and hopefully i will begin to rank well for that keyword soon.

'Affordable seo'  is still doing OK but hopefully the more links that start getting indexed then the better that will do. I anticipate that over November if I push correctly on the article marketing and get 20 articles out there and also get some solid link building done i.e. 40 links, then I am hopeful I will be page 5 minimum for all my key terms and page 1 for my long tail key terms. I will use my blog posts to work on my long tail keywords and use them for the anchor text back links.

Seo Thoughts and Progress with J21Media

Well it is early evening and I am shattered as I have been up pretty early the last few days but like a good trooper I am making sure that I update my blog so that I get that nice little seo backlink in somewhere. I have noticed today that the number of backlinks that I have been creating have began to be picked up by Google which is exciting. Also i managed to submit into about 6 link directories all with anchor text backlinks for my keywords, so hopefully they will carry some weight with them.

Also I completed 1 Chapter on my beginners guide that I have been studying so that I am happy with and it evolved around Googles Web Masters Tools which was very interesting. I installed Analytics today on my website and when my site begins to rank well it will be interesting to see the kind of traffic I can pull in.

I also intend to create another few pages to my website such as FAQ page, link building page and also an article marketing page. This should help me rank well with Google by having a content rich a relevant website. I am excited about maybe getting to Page 1 google for 'seo wiltshire' as I have been scattering a few links around for that term and I just now need to get that text on the home page and then I think I could nail it.

I have decided to keep log of all my articles that I create instead of just putting them up online because by keeping a nice spread sheet I can see how many I have done, what anchor text backlinks I used and where I placed them as well. Then this will help me gauge the results I get. I might try and get one more article done this evening for me and have it placed up on ezinearticles. I will be linking it for 'seo wiltshire' because I am waiting until next month before I start the article marketing push on my main keywords.

Indexed Pages On Google Has Weight

Well yesterday I had some pretty cool results on my key term 'affordable seo' going from Page 20 to Page 15 literally overnight. Now I kind of thin this is because Google is still getting used to my website as it is anew site but still I guess the links that I am placing around are beginning to give some good link love to J21Media.

Analysing some of the first page contenders for the term 'affordable seo' I noticed that while the top 3 to 5 had a large amount of inbound links, the sites lower on the page  had few inbound links but they did have a large amount of indexed pages on Google. Lots of the sites had up to 40 pages which made me think that they were ranking well as a result of the amount of information on the actual website.

My first reaction is to add more pages to my website which I think I will do but to be honest I think once I get up to around the 50 inbound links and start my article marketing, I do not think it will take me long to achieve a first page position for this key word set.

By including more pages as well it should get Google to notice me more as well especially in these early days. I think I will do a small page on some key seo factors such as link baiting, article work, press releases, social media and perhaps a FAQ page as well. Then I will start doing some inbound links to my Tier 2 pages and not just my Tier 1 page. This way it should help google pickup and index my copywriter pages and my content writing pages.

So essentially I want to increase my inbound links in general terms and have some solid anchor text back links for the key words 'affordable seo' and then I think I should nail a first page quite efficiently. Coupled with this I intend to increase the amount of pages on my website so that Google will view it as a content rich website like the others that are ranking highly on this term.

I think that I have got quite excited on this term because it is competitive but not too competitive and the fact that I have see some good results quite early on, it is making me want to really push this one and then go after copywriter next.

Second J21Media Blog Spot

Well hello people, this is my second blog that I have created for J21Media on the basis of venting my frustrations, my views on seo, what I have been learning and what my opinions are on various topics about e-commerce and online marketing.

 One of the reasons I decided to create this blog was so that I can get another batch of inbound links coming into my website from my own anchor text links. Also because I am learning so much in terms of seo and copywriting services it means that I have a lot of thoughts, opinions and energy to write about it all. This is good news for Blogging because the most posts I do and more regularly I keep them updated the better for my search rank and blog relevance.

So now I have 2 blogs I need to be aware to not over extend myself by writing too much in one and none in the other and vice versa. I perhaps need to think about exactly what I am going to write in each. Perhaps one can be more about personal posts and the other about business? Or I can just treat them the same and aim to include posts of 300 in each rather than 600 in one. Then I can get 2 lots of backlinks per day from 2 different blogs. Also it is a great place to get my thoughts and feelings on what I have learnt out of my system.

Well either way I work it out, the benefit of having 2 blog areas is very good and I am glad that I have got it. Not sure about the design I am going to use but I can ponder that over the next week or so and come to a decision another time.
