    The SEO Factor Blog is a supplement designed to provide up to date information on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Website Promotion. As a compliment to our promotion and optimization services, we also like to keep others informed so as to spawn a greater understanding of SEO and search engine placement. Read more about SEO Factor here.

    Or goal with SEO Factor is to provide an affordable service with real results. We certainly don’t mean to speak in ill manner towards other companies specifically, but there are some that are charging a lot for submissions, or some other service that doesn’t require an exchange of funds. Our goal with the blog is to share information. SEO almost sells itself in complexity and importance. Anyone can do it. But to be effective you need experience, proven methods, and time to spend on it. Most business owners can not neglect their business to achieve these. With the blog, we have an avenue where we can fully disclose any news, methods, and ideas. There should be no secrets in SEO.

    November 22nd, 2006 In light of the coming holiday, I thought it would be fun to show some of the similarities between SEO and cooking a turkey. 1. You usually wait until it’s crunch time to get started, then run around frantically getting all your priorities and methods in place. 2. You spend more time online reading about what to do than actually implementing.

    It’s Veteran’s Day, so we will be taking thing a little light out of respect and reflection. I’m just gonna give a little week in review on some highlights in the SEO news.

    November 9th, 2006 In continuing introductions to the SEO Factor team, we will showcase Aaron Smith. He is versed in SEO, but handles a lot of the logic and landing page layout for optimal marketing and conversion for us. I am the SEO Specialist, he is the layout guy….we fight a lot.

    November 6th, 2006 So often I speak in first person. Not really known by the public, the SEO Factor team is actually more than just myself sitting in my underwear smashing away at the keyboard. So I wanted to shed some light on other members that make up this family, and give them a chance to let their voice be heard.

    First up is Alysson Fergison. Some background. I have spoken time and time again…

    October 27th, 2006 If I have to talk about alt tags one more time this month….I will have to….talk about alt tags one more time this month. But I’m not happy about it. Maybe it’s my geographic location, maybe it’s poor training, maybe it’s a shift in the space / time continuum, but whatever it is, we can’t seem to settle on this subject. Well, maybe this will help out.

    February 6th, 2007 Ok, so we all know how important IBL’s are for ranking in Google. I’ve gone over the importance and what factors are taken into account, but one of the most frustrating thing was the idea that you never really had an idea at how many links you were getting credit for from Google. The ‘link:site’ operator was never all inclusive because of the metric’s weight in determining your ranking….

    October 9th, 2006 Sitemaps are becoming ever important to a website’s success. Generally speaking, a sitemap is just that, a map of your site. Today I will shed a bit of light on what a sitemap is for, and what it should include.

    At a minimum, your sitemap should link to ever major page or section on your site, but preferably an all inclusive link list. This can get quite large, and a page with…

Tools for SEO are online and rely on information given by different sources. For example, there are tools that check link popularity. Google will not ever let you know how many links they consider. This would give a little info on how they…
