    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.

    November 16th, 2006 Yahoo! Google, and MSN will agree on the Sitemap protocol previously supported by Google alone. We all know what a sitemap is, and how it helps your site getting indexed.

    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. Alysson is the writer, we are the nerds, so please don’t hold the very poor grammar against him. 🙂

    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…

    November 2nd, 2006 To continue with my recent rants on alt tags, their importance, and proper use, I wanted to further my stance on this subject with Google backing me.

    Google has been, and continues to work on “Google Accessible,” a Google search engine built specifically for the seeing impaired. It will rely a lot on the same…

    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.

    It is not only my…

    November 16, 2006 Yahoo! Google, and MSN will agree on the Sitemap protocol previously supported by Google alone. We all know what a sitemap is, and how it helps your site getting indexed. If not read here. The protocol is basically an XML file uploaded to your root directory, mapping your site and giving a little information on how often it changes, when it was last updated, etc. Though it will not improve rankings in a search engines, it will help with the search engine’s attempt at crawling your site, thus increasing it’s index potential.

    From sitemaps.org, the site released by all of the search engines:

    “Sitemaps are an easy way for webmasters to inform search engines about pages on their sites that are available for crawling. In its simplest form, a Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL (when it was last updated, how often it usually changes, and how important it is, relative to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site.

    Web crawlers usually discover pages from links within the site and from other sites. Sitemaps supplement this data to allow crawlers that support Sitemaps to pick up all URLs in the Sitemap and learn about those URLs using the associated metadata. Using the Sitemap protocol does not guarantee that web pages are included in search engines, but provides hints for web crawlers to do a better job of crawling your site.”

    This marks the second time that the three big guys teamed up for a common, and greater benefit to the online community. The first was with the recognizing of the ‘nofollow’ tag.

    February 20th, 2007 This is a big giant collection of SEO tools and references. I want to give a great deal of credit to Webnauts of www.webnauts.net. He put 98% of this stuff together. Enjoy. I’ll try to update it as new and cool stuff comes 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….

    December 1st, 2006 Well, I’m back from vacation and getting back into the swing of things. Over the large feast, a friend of the family asked about link popularity and what the best method of gaining quality links would be. I offered the advice of link baiting.

    Link baiting is the method of providing relevant and “buzz worthy” content or subject matter on your site, inducing the desire of other…

    November 3rd, 2006 I often speak of the importance of content on a site for SEO. In these talks, the question of placing a certain term on a site a certain amount of times to prove relevancy comes up. This usually sparks in interesting conversation that I will share here…

    November 3rd, 2006 I can’t express how many times the ‘SEO / Flash’ subject has come up. It’s a very valid issue, and carries a lot of debate. The problem with Flash is the inability for the SE’s to read the text in the movie or animation. Well, there is a way to make this better.
