SEO Page 1 Blog

We have been experimenting with various image optimization techniques for search - specifically we have been attempting different things in order to come up on the first page of Google’s image search.

Lately we have noticed a significant amount of search traffic from images.google.com. Searching for the term “SEO” on Google image search has confirmed that we now come up on the first page of Google images. Here is a link to view the search results yourself - http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=seo&gbv=2

On that first page of image search results is the image from our homepage, which is this:

Because of the eye catching nature of this image, it seems to be getting a lot of clicks from image searchers. Most of those searching for SEO on Google images are probably those that are setting up their own SEO websites, so they aren’t the greatest leads or traffic from us, but the end goal and confirmation is the same - we know what we are doing when it comes to search engine optimization and now,  image SEO as well.

We also see a lot of traffic from other SEO companies doing searches for SEO proposal formats, SEO invoice examples, etc. It seems that everyone is trying to start an SEO company. My advice to you all is to outsource your SEO work to someone that knows what they are doing. This practice is called Private Label SEO. You can visit our niche site for our Private Label SEO Services at http://www.privatelabelseo.net to learn more about how this works.

Matt Cutts, Google’s SEO liason, has just posted an entry about Improved SEO Documentation on his blog. As always, a very informative read and highly recommended.

To say that Search Engine Optimization is an industry in constant flux would be an understatement. Since we provide bi-weekly search performance reports for our clients, we continually monitor thousands of keywords across hundreds of sites. The one thing that is consistant is that search results changes. The main goal for us is to be sure those changes trend upward instead of downward.

I’ve always been curious just how often Google makes changes to their algorithm, and now I know, thanks to this article - Google Tweaked Search 450 Times in 2007.

In Google’s continuing quest to organize the World’s information, they have now added WhoIs lookup. Looking up WhoIs information reveal “who is” the owner of a domain name. This is especially good news given the recent front-running of Network Solutions (in a nutshell - if you look to see if a domain name is available on Network Solutions, they quickly register it so that you have to buy the domain from them at a ridiculously high price).

Simply type “whois” in the search field in Google, followed by a space, then the domain name in question. So for example, “whois Google.com”.

 Kuddos to SearchEngineLand for alerting me to the Whois feature now in Google.

Matt Cutts writes about how to report websites that have paid for links to their sites. I encourage anyone interested in SEO to read this article - because it will help in understanding why Link Exchanges and Link Buying are not worth the risk.

Matt Cutts, Google’s SEO advisor, provides insight on how to get links to your site. An interesting and informative read.
