It is good that you have in mind that everything you can do to improve your web traffic you have to do it. Why? It is simple. Traffic is the most significant result for you before the dirty work is done. In SEO you must decide if do yourself the dirty work or paying for that.

The reason why I believe that is because they sometimes reject submission if you don’t comply with all the requisites they require. But if you never submit your site you’ll never know if you qualify. It is good do the double job –submitting your site to search engines while you optimize your site for the moment crawlers intend to index your website.

Search Engine Marketing Company

What to Look for in a Search Engine Marketing Company

A Search Engine Marketing company or SEM company is one that can help you promote your website by increasing their popularity with the search engines. In order to do well in your business nowadays, you need to have an online presence–and not just any online presence. You must have a strong online presence. The reality is that most consumers are searching online for the products and services that our businesses offer. They are not looking in newspapers, or in the yellow pages, or at the advertisements on the street. They are looking online. And if you want to survive, you need to come up when they search for the products or services that you sell.

A Search Engine Marketing company can help you with this. Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is what we use to get customers to our site when they do a search in their search engine (like Google, Yahoo, or Bing). It is what will get your site to come up instead of your competitors’ sites, for example. In general, it involves using both paid search engine listings and submitting your website to the various search engines and directories. The main goal of SEM is to increase your reputation and brand awareness. This not only increases the amount of visitors to your site, but also the likelihood that the visitors will buy from you.

Those who work with you in SEM will first tell you that there are really no free links. One of the main activities of SEM is building one-way backlinks to your site as this is a powerful way to get your site ranked will with the search engines. While there are ways to get one-way backlinks for free, these do take precious time. And time is money. How much time you spend on your link building should vary according to the profits you will make when you achieve top rankings in the search engines. So ask yourself if your time invested is worth the amount of sales you will generate when you get to the top of the search results. You also want to take other aspects into consideration, such as the demand for the product you are offering your competition — that is a big one. You’ll have a hard time competing as a newcomer if your competitors are spending thousands of dollars each month in link building.

An SEM Search Engine Marketing company can help free up your time and catch you up to the big guys in your market. Or, if you don’t have big spenders on link-building as competitors, then you’ll have more of a chance to shoot up in search engine rankings and sales. Take the time to analyze what you want out of an sEM company and how much you have to spend. Be realistic about your goals and the resources that you have available to you, and make sure you pick a company that allows you to be involved in the sEM process.

9 Great WordPress Plugins For Your WordPress Blog

9 Great WordPress Plugins For Your WordPress Blog

WordPress itself is a great platform to run your own blogs but WordPress plugins make it a lot easier to control spam comments, SEO, check for broken links, place revenue generating ads and to back up your WordPress database to name a few. Without these plugins you would require technical expertise way beyond the average blogger, not to mention the time plugins save in doing things like creating a “”Contact Us”” page and sorting out all those spam blog comments.

Here are the 9 plugins that I now use on all my blogs.

Akismet is a popular plugin that checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not. You can review the spam it catches under “”Comments.”” Without such a plugin your blog could easily become full of undesirable comments that you certainly do not want your readers to read.

All in One SEO Pack is Out-of-the-box SEO for your WordPress blog. You can use this plugin to tweak the default options for title, description, keywords and duplicate content.

Broken Link Checker checks your posts for broken links and missing images and notifies you on the dashboard if any are found. There is nothing worse getting traffic to your blog and then sending them to a web page that no longer exists. Without this plugin it would takes quite some time to regularly check all the links on all your blog posts and pages.

Google AdSense, Chitika and Kontera plugins allow you to monetize your blog and make an income from an information blog.

Contact Form 7 allows you to create a “”Contact Us”” page with a form people can fill in for further information or questions about your products.

Google XML Site maps plugin will generate a special XML site map which will help search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask.com to better index your blog. Another time saving plugin.

Pretty Link will shrink, track and share any URL on the Internet from your WordPress website. No more ugly affiliate links that you have to hide under hyper-linked text.

StatPress gives real time stats for your WordPress blog. This is my preference for displaying my blog stats.

WP-DBManager manages your WordPress database. Allows you to optimize database, repair database, backup database, restore database, delete backup database, drop/empty tables and run selected queries. Supports automatic scheduling of backing up and optimizing of the database. This is probably one of the most overlooked plugins for WordPress as a backup is only needed when your blog has been hacked or has failed due to technical issues. Relying on your hosting account for backups may not be a good as you think because blogs need to be backed up regularly as they are constantly changing with new posts being added regularly.

These are only a few of the many plugins available to use on your blogs. You need to consider the nature of your blog,the niche you are blogging in and other things like are you using you WordPress blog as a blog, a sales page or just a website?

You must also be aware that some plugins for WordPress can conflict with one another and cause problems with your blog. From my experience I have had I am yet to have a problem using the above combination of plugins but one must remember that plugins are always being updated and conflicts may arise with future updates.
