<description><![CDATA[<p align="left"><font size="2"><strong>Guaranteed SEO Services and solutions to improve the ranking of your website <br />
</strong><br />
When a prospective client approaches us for our SEO services it is quite obvious that they want to improve their website ranking so that they can outdo the competition. While we specialize in all kinds, there are a few guaranteed SEO services that will definitely give you the kind of results that you are hoping for. <br />
<br />
<strong>Keywords and site content <br />
</strong><br />
Competitive keywords and interesting content are a must for any site to succeed. In fact both keywords and site content go hand in hand. Our team of professionals will analyze your market and come up with a list of keywords that are competitive. They will then utilize them in the appropriate density to create content that is unique. Once this unique content is uploaded onto your website, you will find that its ranking has improved automatically as search engines favor new content. <br />
<br />
<strong>Social networking, article marketing and URL submissions</strong> <br />
<br />
Social networking sites are one of the best ways to optimize your site. In addition to this we also recommend article marketing and URL Submission. To begin with our team will make sure that your website is listed with all the major search engines. Once this is done, we start submitting articles with new content to article directories. These articles will contain back links that lead to your site. In addition to this we will also submit your articles to social networking sites as they can play a significant role in traffic increase as well. <br />
<br />
Building a phenomenal web site is only half of the picture. You have to use your marketing abilities to bring traffic to that web site and this is where search engine optimization services come into play. <br />
<br />
<strong>SEO Services Incorporate: <br />
</strong><br />
* Detailed Keyword research <br />
* Creation of relevant Meta tags &amp; other html tags <br />
* SEO content copy writing with optimizing of site text and creating additional text as needed <br />
* Creation of Sub Domain <br />
* Site navigation &amp; control flow optimization <br />
* Developing theme based site architecture <br />
* Link Building services <br />
* Dynamic Search Engine optimization <br />

<br />
<strong>What are Search Engine Optimization Services? <br />
</strong><br />
Search engine promotion services are designed to promote improved rankings for web sites. Basically, the term refers to a wide-range of activities which are combined for the sole purpose of securing top spots at major search engines, such as Google, Yahoo and Bing and boosting the size of your web site's traffic. <br />
<br />
These services typically include researching keywords extensively so that the best are chosen for your site. The development of SEO content, including tags, and link building are also important aspects of search engine promotion services. <br />
<br />
<strong>Why Use Search Engine Optimization Services?</strong> <br />
<br />
Using Search engine optimization services is important for one because of all the new technologies being incorporated by leading search engines. For example, Google is now using a process called Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) to help calculate the page rankings. This technique involves the use of language and the relationships between words. The purpose is to weed out sites that are merely fluff content wrapped around keywords. <strong><a href="http://www.seo-specialist-online.com">SEO Specialist Online</a></strong> has now begun incorporating this same technology into their search engine promotion services to ensure continued high rankings for our clients. <br />
<br />
LSI is only one example. The search engines are constantly changing their ranking methods in order to create the best possible experience for users so using professional search engine promotion services is the only one way to keep up with those changes without losing your ranking. <br />
<br />
<strong>Choosing Search Engine Optimization Services <br />
</strong><br />
If you decide to use search engine promotion services, be sure to find out what is included in these services. <strong><a href="http://www.seo-specialist-online.com">SEO Specialist Online</a></strong> can help you through every step of the process: researching keywords, writing the content, even updating the optimization periodically. This is the type of service you want so that you can sit back and put your web site's future on the search engines in the hands of trusted, experienced professionals who will generate the results you want. <br />

<h3>Local Searchers are Ready to Buy</h3>
<p>Wouldn&rsquo;t it be great if everyone who came in your store was ready to buy, <br />and not just there to browse or kill time? </p>
<p>One reason the yellow pages has such a strong hold over small businesses <br />is that when Joe Consumer opens the yellow pages, he&rsquo;s almost always ready <br />to buy. <font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">(Have you ever known anyone to read the yellow pages casually?)</font></p>

<title>Is Google Jumping into the Social Media Waters?</title>
<link>http://quikonnex.com/channel/link.php?id=34987</link>
<description><![CDATA[<img style="WIDTH: 208px; HEIGHT: 150px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 10px" alt="Google is Jumping into the Social Media Waters" align="left" src="http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee118/JimGras/JimGrasNews/storygmailcourtesy.jpg" width="100" height="100" />
<h3><font size="5">Is Google Jumping into the Social Media Waters?</font></h3>
<p><font color="#0000ff" size="4"><strong>Facebook, Twitter and Now Google!</strong></font></p>
<p><font size="2">Just reported on CNN <strong>Google</strong> is Jumping into the <strong>Social Media</strong> Waters!</font></p>
<p><font size="2"><strong>Google</strong> is expected to plunge into the world of <strong>Facebook and Twitter</strong>, using its popular <strong>Gmail </strong>service to allow users to post status updates and items.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">The <strong>search-engine</strong> giant, which recently tweaked its search function to allow easier access to <strong>social media</strong> results, has planned an event for Tuesday at 1 p.m. ET at its California headquarters.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">That comes a day after the Wall Street Journal quoted <strong><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff99">&quot;people familiar with the matter&quot;</font></strong> saying the feature would allow <strong>Facebook-style status updates</strong>, <strong>as well as pinging</strong> when users post something to affiliated sites like <strong>YouTube or Picasa.</strong></font></p>
<p><font size="2">If it appears as described, it would be a sort of <strong>anti-Twitter</strong>, making a user's updates private by default, as opposed to open, as they are on the <strong>micro-blogging</strong> site.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">The hands-down leader in the <strong>search engine</strong> world, <strong>Google</strong> has been branching out on projects that include its Nexus One smartphone -- the company's first foray into hardware marketing.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">Late last month, <strong>Google</strong> announced that people could tweak their accounts to make results related to friends, co-workers and other members of their <strong>social networks</strong> appear above all other results.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">The <strong>Social Search</strong> feature was introduced to a limited number of <strong>Google</strong> users last year and was made available to everyone in beta status on January 28.</font></p>

<title>Food For Thought</title>

<description><![CDATA[<p><font size="3"><img style="WIDTH: 231px; HEIGHT: 205px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 10px" alt="SEO Consultant | The Wooden Bowl | SEO Specialist Online | SEO Chatter" align="left" src="http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee118/JimGras/JimGrasNews/the-grandfathers-table.jpg" width="100" height="100" />As a <strong>Senior SEO Strategist</strong>&nbsp;with <strong><a href="http://www.seo-specialist-online.com" target="_blank">SEO Specialist Online</a></strong> I receive hundreds of emails a day. It's Not often that one catches my eye like this one did. You see at closer to 64 </font><font size="3">years old then I like to admit, when I read the <strong>Wooden Bowl,</strong> &nbsp;I realized that children are remarkably perceptive<strong>.</strong> </font></p>
<p><strong><font size="3">Their eyes ever observe, their ears ever listen, and their minds </font><font size="3">ever process the messages they absorb. </font></strong></p>
<p><font size="3">If they see us patiently, provide a happy home atmosphere for family members and friends, be honest and imaginative and polite to our clients, they will imitate that attitude </font><font size="3">for the rest of their lives. The wise person realizes that every day the building blocks are being laid for the child&rsquo;s future. Let us be wise builders and role models.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">As time passes from today, I guarantee you will remember the tale of the <strong>Wooden Bowl</strong> tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now, a year from now, Enjoy!</font></p>
<p><strong><font color="#993300" size="5">The Wooden Bowl</font></strong></p>
<p><font size="3">A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson.The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered</font></p>
<p><font size="3">The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he </font><font size="3">grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. 'We must do something about father,' said the son. I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food </font><font size="3">on the floor.'</font></p>
<p><font size="3">So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or </font><font size="3">two, his food was served in a <strong>wooden bowl</strong>.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions </font><font size="3">when he dropped a fork or spilled food.</font></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">The four-year-old watched it all in silence.</font></strong></p>
<p><font size="3">One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, <strong><em>'What are you making?'</em></strong> Just as sweetly, the boy </font><font size="3">responded, <em><strong>&quot;Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up.&quot;</strong></em> </font></p>
<p><font size="3">The four-year-old smiled and went back to work..</font></p>
<p><font size="3">The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be </font><font size="3">done.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some </font><font size="3">reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.</font></p>
<p><strong><font size="4">On a positive note, </font></strong></p>
<p><font size="3">I've learned that, no matter what happens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles four things: a rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a 'life..'</font></p>
<p><font size="3">I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back sometimes.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you But, if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and doing the very best you can, </font><font size="3">happiness will find you.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">People love that human touch -- holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">I've learned that you should pass this on to everyone you care about .I just did.</font></p>
<p><font size="3">I am not going to be the one who lets it die. I found it believable -- angels have walked beside me all my life--and they still do</font></p>
<p><font size="3">May God Bless You,</font></p>

<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="Search Engine Optimization Today" src="http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee118/JimGras/JimGrasNews/seotoday.jpg" /></p>
<p>Today Google Real-Time Search Changes Everything. Not being where your customer is looking could be costing you their business! Search engines are tightening up the loopholes to manipulate positioning.</p>
<p>So-called &ldquo;doorway&rdquo; pages, tricks with meta tag/keyword files, etc. no longer are effective. Keyword positioning, along with indexing, is the way to be seen on today&rsquo;s Internet.</p>
<p>&bull; The vast majority of clicks occur within the top 5 positions on a search page.</p>
<p>&bull; As a rule, the more competitive the business category, the harder it is to attain decent placement. Conversely, the more competitive the business category, the more important placement is to success of the business.</p>
<p>Entrepreneurs and small businesses constantly find themselves looking around asking themselves why they can&rsquo;t quite seem to find a good fit for what they need from service providers.</p>
<p>People do business with who they like, who they trust and who truly care about their business. In fact, a recent study by US News &amp; World Report revealed that when clients leave their current provider it&rsquo;s not because of a pricing or product problem, but a &ldquo;people&rdquo; problem. People that no longer value their business, or seem indifferent to it. A whopping 68% of them.</p>
<p><strong>&bull; A fractional 14% defected because of a pricing issue followed by 9% who were successfully wooed by a competitor.</strong></p>
<p><strong>&bull; With Google Real-Time Search the playing field has been leveled.</strong></p>
<p><strong>&bull; No longer can you or your competition sit back and think they own their TOP organic Google positions!</strong></p>
<p>Google search engine ranking factors are among the most important items to check in any SEO work. This will ensure that the strategies formulated are effective, current and optimal for the best search engine ranking results. Every search engine optimization analysis examines the website's performance against these important ranking factors. This article series will take a closer look at these factors and find evidence for their existence, so you will know that you are on the right track when performing SEO on your website. </p>
<p>If deficiencies are found in a site's Google search engine ranking factors, the SEO in charge will attempt to make some changes to the website in such a way that it will now become search engine friendly and compliant with SEO ranking factors. Taken from a broader perspective, these improvements cover three important aspects: </p>
<p><strong>&bull; Content (using optimal titles, checking content quality, focusing relevance to targeted keywords, etc). </strong></p>
<p><strong>&bull; Links (how other sites reference the website in terms of quality and quantity). </strong></p>
<p><strong>&bull; Technical aspects (i.e. crawlability of the website) to name just three.</strong></p>
<p>Are all big factor's in SEO, to improve Web Site Search Engine Rankings, with the Top Ten Search Engines, like Google, Alta Vista, AOL Search, Ask Jeeves, Excite, Inktomi, Lycos, MSN, Teoma and Yahoo. </p>
<p>SEO is the skillful art of placing researched keywords, that have a known searching audience, into various places on a web page that are known to be given weight by the ranking systems and algorithms of Major Search Engines</p>

<title>Google's Real-Time Search</title>
<link>http://quikonnex.com/channel/link.php?id=34809</link>
<description><![CDATA[<h2>Today Google Real-Time Search Changes Everything </h2>
<p>The real-time Web is here. Google has officially jumped into real-time search, taking full advantage of its recent partnerships and changing the face of search engine optimization. Conduct a search on Google and you might now see a sizable part of the page dedicated to real-time search. This is a scrolling, live update of content from across the Web about your query and one of the most significant public-facing changes Google has made in a long time. It's also one of the biggest changes to SEO (as it applies to Google) in recent history as reported by Website Magazine.</p>
<p>The real-time updates - or Latest results - take up a significant portion of screen space. After the sponosored listings at the top of the page, then the top organic result comes the real-time updates. In some cases, the box is also very close to the fold. In short, as it stands today, your company's organic listings might have already changed dramatically. While the total number of results does not seem to have changed, you might have dropped below the fold. That means checking your search positions immediately, and getting to work on improving them.</p>
<p>Below is a Google results page for Obama health care. The first result is the top result, then you will see the real-time results. The bottom result after the real-time box is just above the fold. This is a hot topic, so keep in mind that not all queries will produce real-time results, or results will be ordered differenlty. For example, a search for zhu zhu (a popular toy this holiday season) shows real-time results, but at the very bottom of the page. Also impacting the position of real-time results and normal organic listings will be the number of paid search results.</p>
<p><img alt="Real Time Search" src="http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee118/JimGras/PCP%20Blog/googlerealtime.jpg" /></p>
<p>One thing is for certain - Web professionals stock in Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, FriendFeed, Jaiku and Identi.ca just went through the roof. Those companies are now partners, waist-deep in the Google mix; and that's where many of the real-time results are coming from. In short, if you're not on some or all of these networks, its time to get started. And you must go beyond just making a profile. These real-time results will take into account your social graph - the connections you make and your authority in the space, as well as the content you provide on these networks. We're talking quality here. Businesses must provide value to their social connections. For example, if you tweet an important piece of information and it gets re-tweeted by your followers, you can bet Google will take notice. Google will be examining accounts' social stock and including those in the updates - on the first page of Google. You will also notice that real-time results are not limited to social networks, but include blogs and other websites. Content creation and optimization (creative copy, keyword-friendliness, etc.) becomes a mission-critical business objective.</p>
<p>It will also be interesting to see if these new partner networks get flooded with content noise, once publishers realize the opportunity. It's quite possible the personal space users feel they have within networks like Facebook will be come serious spam magnets.</p>
