SEO Tip: do you have any good content

Imagine 2 similar websites, they both sell quilts, site A is just a simple shopping cart with a list of quilts and their prices. Site B has the same structure but site B has some articles about quilts. Now, which one of them is going to get more traffic???

Here is the tip, if you sell something – let’s say quilts – write some articles about quilts, write about their history, about how different countries make them differently, and even how to make one!

The trick is to show your website to as many people as possible…

Write About The Solutions You Find; it’s good for SEO too

I ran into some issues yesterday and was searching for a solution and I was surprised by so many forum posts like this:

Thanks everyone for helping me out but I found the solution yesterday!

That’s it?! It would be nice if users would also take a few extra minutes to write about how they did it.

I get a lot of traffic to this blog and it’s because I write about these little solutions and surprisingly so many people are interested in them too. I don’t sell any ads or don’t have any sort of PPC on here and the only reason I did it was to help others and also keep my collection somewhere I can go back too.

But I was very surprised by the amount of traffic it started to bring to me, so many people who have the same problems are searching for most of the titles on here.

So however small your problem seems, THERE ARE people who have the same problem and searching for a solution every day.

And again, for me, it wasn’t about traffic but it’s bringing a lot of traffic, even more than a lot of our older websites that we also did SEO for and this proves again that the best SEO strategy is to write good content…

Good Luck :)

The perfect meta description for your site

You may have noticed that in search result pages (SERPs) of Google, there is a two line description:

Google uses (most of the time) your meta description (if it thinks it’s more relevant) and if your description is too long, it will cut it and show 3 dots at the end:

If you don’t want this ti happen, write a good description that is only 155 characters long, for example, in this case the description fits perfectly:

So when writing a meta description remember: (in no particular order)

1 – Write a meta description that is 155 characters long. (or less, obviously)
2 – Write a meta description that is descriptive.
3 – Write a meta description that is provocative.
4 – Use your primary keyword(s) in it, don’t write a stream of keywords, write something meaningful.

The perfect meta description for your site

Toolbar Junkies

One of my clients was buying Stumble traffic and as soon as he stopped doing it, Alexa rank for his site dropped by 1000s.
We think this is because users with Stumble toolbar tend to have Alexa toolbar too. (and probably other toolbars)
