SEO for Time Sensitive Pages

Time sensitive data is always difficult to deal with, especially if you are running a blog or site that is based around information or products that are only searched for once a year. Holiday blogs and sites are some of the first things that come to mind for time sensitive information. Ranking number one for the search term Christmas decorations doesn’t do much good in August if you fall to page two in October, November, and early December. Ticket vendors also know the trials and tribulations all too well when they have a limited number of time to sell tickets, and they’re competing with a large crowd on the SERPs.
When to Switch Focus
A client of Page One Power is based out of New York and sells tickets to all kinds of events, but he wanted his landing pages for the Super Bowl and The US Open (tennis), and to rank highly. Rather than split up our man power and offer weaker results for both, we focused on building relevant, keyword heavy links for The US Open (which happens in late summer) after the Super Bowl finished. Once the US Open got under way we shifted our focus to getting links on NFL related sites pointing back to the Super Bowl landing page. Granted, this works well for us because the two events happen far apart from one another and we have enough time to get their rankings up. Not everyone has such luxury.Don’t Wait Too Long
Yes, they might be lyrics found in almost every teenage angst song from the late 90s, but seriously, don’t wait too long before ranking up the link building and SEO efforts. Some people think that waiting until a few weeks are left before the event (when sales and searches are typically highest) is the best time to strike because you can jump pages with a few quality links. However, this strategy only works somewhat predictably with long tail keywords and uncompetitive niches. In a competitive niche, the keywords are much harder to rank for and if you aren’t already near the top, your last minute SEO efforts could easily be overshadowed by sites with a stronger SEO campaign. Google’s crawlers don’t scan over your site every day either, so it can take longer than you think for some of those great backlinks to start bumping you up the SERPs.Keep Conditioning During the Off-Season
Just because there are no NFL games from February to September doesn’t mean the players sit on the couch all day and relax. Athletes keep their bodies primed and in top condition in order to keep their edge and your site should follow the same example. Don’t shut down a Valentine’s Day url just because it is March 1st. Keep the site up and active with ways for people to request notifications, place orders, or to post a little blurb every so often. Once that special time of year gets closer, turn up the heat and bring the simmer to a boil. This helps you to keep a high ranking if you’ve earned one, or gives you the option to do some light link building throughout the year to gain an advantage.SEO for time sensitive pages can be tricky. You don’t want to waste your efforts on ranking for keywords that no one will be searching for anyway; that’d be like trying to sell wine to a vineyard. But care needs to be taken in order to ensure that you can and will rank highly when you want to.

Do you what is ailing the SEO industry at this moment? No, no it is the Penguin or Panda updates. They are doing a great job by demolishing those common SEO myths that visibility can be achieved by doing some absurd tasks like directory submissions, article syndications etc. No, what is plaguing the SEO industry is the reputation. Its reputation is getting tanked everyday because of some people who are masquerading as SEO professionals and fleecing customers in the name of offering SEO services. These snake oil sellers are giving the entire SEO industry a bad name and creating loads of confusion among those who are in genuine need of online marketing services. So, it is becoming all the more difficult for small business owners who are looking for a genuine SEO company to get more leads from their website. Though there is no such hard and fast rule to tell which SEO company is genuine and which one is another Sneak Oil Seller, SEO sneak oil sellers have some characteristics that set them apart from the genuine service providers. Wondering what they could be, here they go:
You get a mail from an SEO Company
Great SEO companies never send you email or spam your inbox out of blue. They know how to market their products and for that reasons they know they will never resort to such menial things. So, whenever you get an email that says that your website is not listed in major search engines or your website is missing out on a large number of visitors, you should be apprehensive about the company and its intension. In majority of cases, you do not even have to submit your website to search engines; they are quite capable of locating your website.They Guarantee You First page rank
Some SEO Sneak Oil sellers go extreme and they claim that they have personals associated with Google. Though it may sound ludicrous to you but some people do fall in prey. So be aware of these nonsensical claims. Sometimes, they claim that they can make your website top in the SERP in some competitive keywords. This is simply misleading. No SEO Company can claim that it can make your website appear in top in some premium keywords. Just stay away from them.They are not willing to tell you what They are doing
If the SEO Company that you have hired is genuine, they will not mind sharing you all the details they are doing. But SEO Companies that employ unethical practices like creating doorway pages only for the sake of boosting the rank of the main money making website or stuffing keywords in the web pages, creating pages only for the sake of building links etc. You need to press them to show you what exactly they are doing.They want to Insert a Link of their website
You need to avoid those SEO companies who try to convince that submitting your website in thousands of directories and article directories will eventually help your website securing higher ranking. Participating in link scheme is the last thing that you should do. Google has already waged a war against the blog networks and link scheme and therefore, there is no such reason why you should be making your website vulnerable to algo updates. And never agree to their proposal to add a link back to the SEO company from the footer section of your website.Check where your money is going
Some SEO Companies are into the habit of misguiding people by combining PPC and organic web strategy. They try to misguide people by showing that they actually control the search engine by making their website at the top of some less competitive keywords in Google Adwords or any other marketing platform. So don’t fall prey to this kind of claims. You need to figure out where your money is actually going. Temporary top spot is not going to save you in one way or the other.About Guest Blogger

How Google Penalize Website with Penguin Update

Seven months ago Google rolled out Penguin update to fight against SEO spammers. A roactive step from google to clean search engine ranking results from aggressive search engine optimizers trying hard to improve rankings in Google through building the low quality links.
The aftermath of Penguin was a total disaster for small business owners who relied heavily on Google. Recently, a month ago, two small business owners who shut the office down forever. Even after I promised in helping to recover from penguin, these SMEs forced to close business as the nature of business was not allowing run the trade with lack of time limit.
The sole intention behind this post is to educate business owners on the main causes of penguin hit to the websites. The below points answers what tactics and techniques lead to penguin penalty.
Keyword Resemblance in Anchor Text, Title Tag and Web Page:
There is a classical misconception about Penguin update: getting low quality links of same anchor text. Google goes one step further by analyzing the keywords between anchor text and title tag. The co-occurrences of same keyword in web page and anchor text. It’s quite simple for the Google spider to analyze the above. For Example: If you are targeting the keyword Real estate agent in California and the same keyword is mentioned in title tag and repeated many times in web page as well as got many anchor text of the same phrase through low quality sites. Then it’s easy for Google spider to find the pattern of spam.
Not just repeated phrases or keyword stuffing in the web page alone leads to penalty. Keyword stuffing in the web page indicates Google that website has shallow content. But aggressive search engine optimization is more than that. Here search engine optimizers are playing hard with the rules set by Google and not for visitors.
Google won’t penalize the website by analyzing one side of the story. If a webmaster made an offence in all the three aspects: repeated phrases in title tag, web page and anchor text means web master is not ignorant of search engine optimization. Webmaster is well aware of SEO and deliberately optimizing for the sake of ranking. Hence the combination of all the above techniques leads to Penguin penalty.
Usage of Same Content in link building:
This may include one of the panda characteristics but not a panda update. Google won’t manually penalize penguin update for millions of web pages. Google spider must follow a process to identify the certain patterns of fraudulent techniques incorporated by seo. One of the common factors is using same content in multiple websites. And classical example is submitting the title tags and meta description of web page in various directories. This is an easy way for Google to automate for finding the low quality links.
Even seo professionals have used different content other than existing content in web page but same description in many directories is definitely a link building form for the sake of rankings.
One more common spam technique is article marketing. 500 words or same article submitting in many article directories. Here it is easy for Google to find out the same content and same resource box with same anchor texts. It is fine same anchor texts with same bio but articles must be different. With different articles in other websites webmaster is contributing to visitors and in return he is getting links which won’t come under the radar of Penguin penalty.
Google is always smart. But Google also has weakness. It cannot rank manually every websites or cannot penalize every websites. Google need to automate. Once web spam of Google team identifies the common abuse followed by SEO industry it will come up update. Follow the best practices of link building and on page optimization and learn process of the new updates.

One of the keys to growing your presence online, is establishing yourself as an expert in your industry. This can be done in a number of different ways, but all of these ways require networking of some sort. You become an expert, by getting other experts to acknowledge that you are in the same class as them. You can establish yourself as an expert in your own industry by creating high quality and insightful content, answering questions about your industry around the web, and also releasing your own webinars and seminars on a variety of subjects that are related to your overall niche. In doing these things, you prove that you have the knowledge within your industry to become an expert, and are able to establish credibility through the sharing of other information.
High Quality, Insightful Content
The first thing that you need to do to establish yourself as an expert within your industry is to publish high-quality, insightful content on the subject. This content, should not be published on any of the other websites, and should be completely original in nature. Try to analyze the subject as in-depth as possible, and an effort to display the level of knowledge that you have on your industry. The higher-quality the content, the more believable it will be that you are an expert within your industry. Also make sure that you are participating on other websites that are publishing insightful content as well. By linking to insightful content, you not only prove that you can identify worthwhile content to your visitors when you find it, but it allows you to make connections with others that are considered experts.Answer Questions Where Available
It should also be your goal to answer questions where available. There are number of questions and answers websites online, such as Yahoo Answers, or other industry-specific question and answer websites, in which you can create an account, and answer questions that individuals have about your industry. In doing so, you will build credibility with a range of different people, and have proof that you have been able to help dozens of people with questions about what you do. You can also answer questions over social networks, which can be an excellent way to gain traction with others, as they can see exactly what you have answered.Webinars and Seminars
nother excellent way to establish yourself as an expert, is to hold either seminars, or online seminars, known as webinars. This allows you to put your knowledge on full display, and also help others to learn information about your industry. Try to plan ahead, and an effort to create as good of a webinar as humanly possible. Make sure that you are answering any common questions are misconceptions that people have about your industry in a straightforward and professional way, and also look for opportunities in which you can promote your website or service through these webinars.Establishing yourself as an expert in your industry can be very difficult, but with the little bit of hard work and determination, you can prove that you have the knowledge to be considered one, by providing high quality information and helping others to gain knowledge as well.

This is guest post by Michael Evans
So, your website has been tanked by the vicious penguin and even after giving your hundred percent to get rid of the spammy links that are making your website bleed, a vast majority of them remain there intact and making your feel totally helpless. But fear not dude, the disavow link is here and hopefully it is going to exonerate you from the sins of your past spammy marketing initiatives that might have probably cost you thousands of SEO dollars. Yeah, yeah it is not that easy otherwise we could have had innumerable number of success stories to share by now. As there is no such great news to relish, we can safely assume that not many people have got benefited from it but that does not necessarily mean that it is not that effective. Nope, probably you do not exactly know how and when to use it [no offense plz]. So, here it goes –
Actually, the concept of online marketing has been hijacked by some shrewd marketers who have been engaged in doing sneaky things to get to the top in some competitive keywords in no time. They were using bulk article submissions, article network sites, massive directory submission and other sneaky stuffs. So, Google has to intervene and now we have got penguin update. But as negative SEO is on the rise and as Google is working on the biggest ever penguin algo update [as news is doing the round], it launches Disavow Link option so that it can avoid the scathing criticism of the webmasters whose websites might be wrongly affected by the upcoming algo shuffle.
Who should be using this tool: As Google is reiterating the fact that this is an advance tool and average webmasters need not have to use this because if used wrongly, it could back fire. So, here are the few hypothetical situations when you should be thinking about giving the Disavow Link a try:
However, this does not mean that you need to remove all the links and turn the clock around. Nope, do not make such foolish thing because you will just be shooting yourself in the feet. You need to create a list as mentioned below:
Create an excel file just like above. Add column like – PR, anchor text, Type of website, quality of the content, number of outbound links, Moz etc. You are free to add more columns. When you are done with this you need to figure out which links are affecting your website and which links are adding value to your website. Try to remove as many bad links pointing to your website as possible before, you send a reconsideration request. When you are done with this, the time is up for the Disavow links option.
Select the website you want to apply this Disavow link option.

Click on the red button and it will then ask you to upload a txt file containing list of sites that you wish to disavow.

The format of the text is plain and simple. All you got to do is to create a txt file and it may look like the following -
Just make sure that you are keeping the file short. It should not be more than 2MB.
Just want to reterate that if your website is affected by manual penalty, you need to do both, try Disavow Link option and wait few weeks before sending another reconsideration request.
I am happy to share this information. Let me know how fare with these tips.

Nope, probably you do not exactly know how and when to use it [no offense plz]. So, here it goes –
A Little bit of background story
There has been a bit of confusion surrounding the concept of Disavow Link. The building block of web is links; no amount of spam can undo this. So just because a search engine named Google has launched something called – Disavow Link, it does not mean that you should be giving less attention to acquiring links naturally and put all your efforts to monitor and police each and every link that comes along the way and get them down just to be in the good book of Google.Actually, the concept of online marketing has been hijacked by some shrewd marketers who have been engaged in doing sneaky things to get to the top in some competitive keywords in no time. They were using bulk article submissions, article network sites, massive directory submission and other sneaky stuffs. So, Google has to intervene and now we have got penguin update.

Who should be using this tool: As Google is reiterating the fact that this is an advance tool and average webmasters need not have to use this because if used wrongly, it could back fire. So, here are the few hypothetical situations when you should be thinking about giving the Disavow Link a try:
1. Your website has been manually penalized
It sucks when you receive a message in Google webmaster tool about violating Google’s policy or about Link Scheme. But do not jump at the gun at the sight of this message. This message only means that your website is manually checked by human quality raters at Google and they have raised their flag after checking the backlink profile of your website.However, this does not mean that you need to remove all the links and turn the clock around. Nope, do not make such foolish thing because you will just be shooting yourself in the feet. You need to create a list as mentioned below:
URL

PR
|
Anchor text
|
Moz rank
|
Type
|
Content Quality
|
Example.com
|
2
|
Exact matched

20
|
blog
|
Poor quality
|
Socialbookmark.com
|

|
Long tail
|
30
|
Social bookmark
|
NA

Create an excel file just like above. Add column like – PR, anchor text, Type of website, quality of the content, number of outbound links, Moz etc. You are free to add more columns. When you are done with this you need to figure out which links are affecting your website and which links are adding value to your website. Try to remove as many bad links pointing to your website as possible before, you send a reconsideration request. When you are done with this, the time is up for the Disavow links option.
Select the website you want to apply this Disavow link option.

Click on the red button and it will then ask you to upload a txt file containing list of sites that you wish to disavow.

The format of the text is plain and simple. All you got to do is to create a txt file and it may look like the following -
#This is spammy website, I do want to disaow links coming from this site:Text starting with # will be comment and Google will not be taken into consideration. If you wish to discard all the links coming from a single website, you can use the following parameter – domain:websitename.com .
domain:littlespammywebsite.com
#This article directory sucks, I asked them to remove the links, but they did not
Just make sure that you are keeping the file short. It should not be more than 2MB.
Just want to reterate that if your website is affected by manual penalty, you need to do both, try Disavow Link option and wait few weeks before sending another reconsideration request.
2. Your website is affected by penguin algorithm
If you saw that the traffic of your website took a plunge after a penguin refresh, you need to clean up the mess as much as possible. Do a background check of the links as I have mentioned above before using the Disavow link option. Since your website has got caught by algorithm update, you need to wait for weeks or probably for months until another penguin refresh goes live.3. You are a victim of Negative SEO
Sometimes, it might happen that your competitors are doing all they could to hamper the growth of your business. They may be doing sneaky things for your website like – spammy directory submissions, article submissions etc without your being aware of it. In that case, rather than wasting your time and money on trying to get rid of those links, you should be using this tool to make Google aware of the fact that you are not responsible for the crap links built by your competitors.I am happy to share this information. Let me know how fare with these tips.

This is guest post by Lisa-Anne Redwood on how to generate backlinks without using blackhat method
There’s been a lot of buzz lately regarding Google’s rankings and the SEO changes that ‘big G’ has been putting in place. Many private backlink networks have now be almost entirely de-indexed by Google. That means that countless websites that were enjoying the heady heights of search rankings are now almost completely invisible to search users. These developments have understandably unnerved legitimate website owners, many of whom may not have kept track of how their backlinks were generated.

This article was written by Anthony Benedict.
In the business world that doesn't involve coding, link building, programming, designing, writing for the Internet or one of the many other jobs that can be done with an Internet connection and a decent computer - all these jobs are grouped into one type of position. People with jobs like these are known to outsiders as the "computer people" and many of them think that all of them pretty much do the same things - which can be summed up for the most part as designing websites.
Although all of us that partake in these types of jobs know that this is not at all the case, there should be a little bit of truth to that claim, as every person involved in SEO should be at least a little bit involved in programming - and every programmer (well not every single type of programmer actually) should be at least a familiar with SEO.

Google made historic news yesterday by declaring they do not use the meta keywords tag. They haven't used the meta keywords tag for an incredibly long time and any "SEO" should know that.
I guess they want to focus on high-quality-posts ,and preventing low-quality post or copied posts trying to cheat ranking-system by any SEO method .
So there are official posts from Matt Cutts, the Google Blog and Search Engine Land .We can trust this information is true ,not a joke .
If you want to know which meta tags Google does pay attention to, see this FAQ. Plus, Googler's JohnMu tweeted that Google also does "not adhere to the "revisit-after" meta tag," if you wanted to know.
Finally, here is a video on Google Blog
