It is All in Keyword Research and Use

published by Dan in Blogs | Keyword Research | SEO with No comments

We are often told to make use of good keywords that are being sought over the web. There are various keyword checkers that can help us in finding out what keywords to use. Overall, they may seem easy to use but remember that word count also varies. The number of keywords used should be in line the whole post. Going over it may put your composition in the category of spam and hence kill your effort as trying to adhere towards known keyword utilization principles in line with your SEO efforts.

Keyword density is something that can help identify the amount of keywords you are using. At times, it seems that you are repeating so much. But again, it depends on how you use it in line with how understandable your post may be. In blogging or article writing, you have to follow a certain level of percentage in keyword density. For example, it is recommended that in 300 word compositions, a 2% keyword density is deemed as the most appropriate level to categorize your post as something that is acceptable. Going over that may place you under the category of spam and most probably a senseless write-up.

So what does SEO have to do with it? Well for people looking for information, Google for one has placed a certain medium to determine which are spammers who are abusing the whole effort of authentic bloggers and writers who want to do their contribution over the web. If you want your whole effort not to go to waste, then a keyword density analyzer is something you may want to utilize.

Social Bookmarking: Is it Worth the Effort?

published by Dan in Blogs | SEO | SEO Strategy | SEO Tools with No comments

The funny thing about the web these days is that once a new trend in social marketing is identified as an effective way to address the search engine optimization efforts, they will immediately be turned on to. Social bookmarking has been found to be a good way to do just that, a great alternative to the usual link building and directory submissions that are obviously targeted to get links that point back towards the mother site.

The number of links to a site is known to be a varying factor towards measuring the degree of relevance and importance that a site has. The thing with bookmarks, it is something that you can do by a simple sign up and then submit a site or certain posts of your site for others to read. Depending on how you look at it, it has two things that are trying to cover, namely:

1. To share information
2. To entice fellow bookmarkers to check out the site

As you can see, this is a good way to optimize a site and build on popularity. While it seems that bookmarking is easy, do not be misled by the ease of using it. For one thing, they still do not entertain spam and once you fail to read their TOS or Terms of Service, one violation can get your account banned along with the links to go with it.

No one loves spam. We all know what it is. While there are some people desperate for popularity, it should be done in the professional way to optimize promising sites that we have today.
