Before showing the importance of deep linking, perhaps an understanding of its nature will help us our quest.

Deep linking refers to links pointing to other places than the index page itself. Let’s take an example: a link to somesite.com will direct to the index page, while a link to somesite.com/somestuff/morestuff/neverknewthispageexisted.htm would be considered a deep page and linking to it would be considered deep linking.

With the example fresh in our minds, you must understand that Google’s PageRank does not apply to the website as a whole but to each individual page. So when it comes to SEO (search engine optimization) and you focus only on the main page alone, you will potentially lose traffic. Another reason to pursue deep linking is also SEO related. It makes sense to optimize a page for only a few keywords, so you can more effectively build your own SEO campaign. This means that each page on your website would be targeting different keywords and each page would require a linking campaign.

Deep linking does not come without controversy though. This is especially true for large, popular websites. An online newspaper will frown upon on this practice, as it would potentially lose money from the ads posted on the front page. There are even a few lawsuits going on, on this topic. A darker version of deep linking is that associated with hacking. Many websites have a rather low security and many e-commerce that offer downloadable products only require knowing the link in order to download the e-book, mp3 or database. Obviously this comes as a result of faulty programming and bad security practices.

From the search engine point of view the situation stays slightly different. Google for example does not have any official policy, which left the SEO experts doing a lot of educated guessing. Among the most optimistic views is the one that sustains that deep linking actually builds the credibility of the website as a whole and thus creates a better SERP, the skeptics on the other hand think that deep linking is no more important for search engines than plain linking.

No matter of which side you think it’s right it only makes sense to develop deep linking even if for remote, long term goals. A good link remains a good link no matter if it points to a deep page or the index page.

I’m finding, through personal experience, that SEO is not that important to a lot of companies. I believe this is because there is no tangible immediate gain. There is nothing that your company’s decision-makers can put a finger on that can be labeled as a tangible benefit. SEO also takes time to show a result and a lot of businesses want to work on things that show an immediate benefit to the exclusion of SEO. Instant gratification has positive gains now, but no gains (and sometimes negative gains) down the road.

SEO is very important. If you want a mediocre site that just barely gets by with low ad revenues and minuscule traffic numbers, stick to the status quo. If you want a site that rocks with high traffic and high ad revenues, work on your SEO.

SEO, however, does not have to be the only priority. SEO can actually be done in a relatively short amount of time each day. A couple of blog posts, a couple of comments on other blogs, and some forum posts can be enough for a day’s work. There are even passive approaches, such as using the Alexa toolbar. These are just some simple examples. There are a lot more SEO tasks that can be done. It really could be a full time job in and of itself.

When writing this post, I’m reminded of a quote from the movie The Cheetah Girls, which is “Sometimes, you have to walk alone.” Maybe, when it comes to SEO, “Sometimes, you have to walk alone”.

So what’s it gonna be?

One of the most fun activities in web business, right up there with checking your traffic statistics, is monitoring your backlinks to see which sites are linking to you.

You must keep a close eye on your backlinks for a few reasons -

  • To see the calibre (quality) of the sites linking back to your site.
  • To see how high a PageRank (PR) these sites have.
  • And to view what keywords are used to link back.

Article Marketing For Backlinks

A few months ago I started testing article marketing. Since I write articles for my blog I thought it wouldn’t be hard to re-post an article now and then at an article repository/distribution site.

The idea behind this is that people replicate your article on their own site or newsletter on the condition that they include your author biography with a link back to your site (you create your own author byline). If you write a popular article you can create hundreds of backlinks in a short period of time, not to mention increase your profile, as your article is distributed around the web.

Backlinks Are Constantly Changing

It’s important to remember that whenever you assess your backlinks you are taking a snapshot in time. The Internet is quick, darn quick. You might experience two seconds in the spotlight when a prominent site links to yours, enjoy a traffic spike and gain a few new subscribers and backlinks. This is great when it happens but it’s rare and only the most unique content or the most famous writers will produce this kind of result.

More often your backlink campaigning will bring in links on sites that, just like yours, not many people know about. However you shouldn’t be discouraged. If the owners of these sites are, just like you, committed to a long term strategy of producing a great website resource or blog their site will also accumulate backlinks, gain exposure and rise in PageRank, which will in turn benefit your site. In this sense quality sites help each other rise together over time.

In a lot of ways the Internet is also very slow. Information dissemination may occur quickly but by design, search engines will not quickly drive traffic to your site. Steps you take today to improve your site’s search engine performance will not necessarily have an impact until months later. Unique content, celebrity status and good networking can bring you quick traffic but if you are like most people you fall into the majority “working class” online and you will have to earn your rewards over time through hard work.

Assessing Your Backlinks

Google only updates PageRank every three months at best and during this time millions of new webpages are born that start off without any PR at all. When assessing your backlinks and you come across a page that appears to have a PR0 that has linked to you remember to check the PR of the home page because the subpage may have been created after the last PageRank update and consequently won’t show any numbers on the green PR bar. You can expect once Google updates that the PageRank of the subpage will be one or two points below the main page and in fact once it is indexed by Google, which happens constantly, not every three months, will have SERP results way before it shows any visible PageRank.

When assessing your new backlinks be sure to browse through each site linking to you and check out the following points:

  1. How good is the content? - Is it original or all reproduced (you can spot reproduced content from the author bylines everywhere).
  2. How much activity is going on in terms of new topics for blogs (monthly, weekly, daily, multiple times a day) or new articles for standard websites. Also check out how much community activity is happening in forums and comments made to blogs.
  3. Lookup the backlinks of the site that has just linked to you to get an indication of it’s popularity. Make sure you do this in Google, Yahoo! and MSN search if you want a good spread of data.
  4. If you are really doing deep research, conduct a history search in the Web Archives (http://web.archive.org)and see how long the site has been online and how it has changed over the years.

You can spend hours checking your backlinks so remember to return to productive work and not spend too much time indulging your ego by seeing who has linked to your site. Backlinks play an important part of a search engine optimization strategy providing one of the best metrics for assessing the results of your hard work.

The federal government has a program of offering guarantees for loans. The easiest type of real estate mortgage loans to qualify for are Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans. The FHA guidelines for loan qualification are more flexible than other mortgage loans and require only 3% down payment or less.

FHA Loan Qualifications

You must document 2 years of steady employment, preferably with same employer, with the last two years showing the same or increasing income. Your credit report should have less than 2 dings showing 30 day late payments in the past two years. Any bankruptcy must be at least two years with no credit problems since then. You must have three years of good credit since any foreclosure. Your mortgage payment can only be about 30 percent of you gross income.

Benefits for FHA Mortgages

It is easier to use a gift towards the down payment and closing costs. You will find there is no prepayment penalty. Sometimes an FHA loan is assumable provided the new owner qualifies under FHA guidelines. It is possible that the lending agency will be more lenient, in times of financial distress.

Why an FHA Loan Might Not be for You

There are dollar limits according to the local area of how much mortgage FHA is willing to guarantee. If you need a large mortgage, this might not be the right program for you. Additionally, upfront federal mortgage insurance premium and ongoing premiums is often more costly than private mortgage insurance. If you are a home buyer with a good credit school, you may easily find standard loans with very little down that are more competitive than FHA loans.

As always, you should compare FHA loans against other mortgage options. FHA loans appeal particularly to home buyers with less cash reserves as FHA does not require borrowers to have reserves of up to three months of payments after closing. Lenders want to make sure that you will get off to a good start making your monthly payments.

I have been in real estate for the better part of 10 years now and I have never experienced a market where its very hard for sellers to entice buyers. In fact I have noticed that the “trickery” has increased substantially over the last year with no end in sight. What sellers need today to get thier homes sold is an open mind with respect to pricing. Homes that are priced correctly will still be selling while the ones that are over priced or not competitively priced will not see activity.

We are in the meat of a buyers market, where you don’t always have to give up your price….but it helps. Adding value can be as easy as staging your home for sale, doing some fix-it work around the house before listing it, or as simple as having your home inspected by a professional and including that with your listing package.

Any way you look at it you must add value, or the price will go down. The value in todays market is receding at an alarming rate, 11.4% in some areas over the last couple of months, which means you have to add 11.4% more bang for that buck, or reduce your price.

If your a buyer this isn’t always good news, however, its more favorable than just a short year ago.

Is now the time? I believe that there has been no better time in my lifetime to buy real estate and over time I am sure we will see another upward move in values and after all owning a home is still the American dream and always will be.

Here are additional tips to help you be successful when getting ready to put your house up for sale.

Get The Word Out:

The first thing to do is put up a sign in the front yard. Tell your neighbors. They may already know of someone looking in the area, maybe even a family member. Let people know where you work, a church group or club. If you want to go further, put up notices on bulletin boards. Last but not least, run a classified ad.

Showing Your Home:

When you have an appointment to show your home, open the windows and air out before any potential buyer arrives. This will get rid of any last minute unpleasant odors that might be lingering. It’s always a good idea to have the scent of pleasant aromas in the house. Things like fresh bread,cookies, the smell of cinnamon or vanilla.

Open House:

An open house can be very effective in promoting your house.
For Two reasons:

1) You can schedule the open house at a specific time and day and you will be attracting a lot of people at the same time.

2) This creates a spirit of competition. Competition produces action that ends up with a sale.

Place a welcome sign in your front yard or by the front door.

For security reasons, I would recommend having visitors sign in before they go through your home.

Have a information circular or flyer on your home that visitors can take with them. The information flyer is good for people who call on your newspaper ad. You can take their address and even mail one to them.

The information flyer should include: Your name, address and phone number. Sales Price and if you are offering Owner Financing, the down payment you are requesting. Mention you will consider all offers in writing, with the understanding you will not take the home off the market until a legally binding sales contract has been signed and earnest deposit money is deposited with your attorney.

Respond to all offers and if they are too low, counter the offer.

Your information flyer should also include:Property taxes, insurance and utilities etc…and remember to list the features of your house:

Square footage, type of roof and age, kind of heat, air conditioning, schools, kind of water heater and age, the lot size, describe the structure, electrical system, bathrooms and kitchen, the rooms size and measurements and public transportation available.

Tell a little about the outdoor features and anything else you feel is unique about the home.
List any recent repairs or maintenance. When was it last painted or sided, new roof etc.
Have pictures on display during different seasons of the year. If you are showing your home during the fall or winter, show pictures during spring or summer. The pictures will show the flowers and plants in bloom.

Schedule your open house during peak hours when traffic goes by your house. Put a sign up where people will see your sign as they drive by.

To be found by your target group is the key to success in your online business. This is also what differentiates the gurus from the pack; they know what keyword to use and how to use them in their business website and articles for search engine optimization and PPC campaign.

This article is all about keyword research, I will outline here how you will can carry out your keyword research in order to get your site on the first page of the search engine when your target group, search for the service your business offers. This means free traffic and revenue, but when you get it wrong; you are lost forever.

HOW DO YOU START YOUR KEYWORD RESEARCH?
For you to have successful keyword research, start by seeing yourself as one of those people your product will serve and then proceed to the search engine to use those words that they are likely going to use when looking for service your site providing. When the result appears, I recommend you take a look at the first two website, peep into their keyword meta tag, this will help you see other keywords they are using, bearing in mind that they are the competition you will face.

EXPAND YOUR KEYWORD
Now you have your keywords that are related to your online business, is time to find other words or phrase that people are also using when the search for the service or product you are providing. Here you will need keyword tools provided by overture, Google AdWord tools, good keyword, and also word tracker that have 7 days free trial version and paid version. Each of this tool will help you generate other keywords that might be relevant to your business with the competition rate, search volume and conversion rate of each of these keyword generated.

SELECTING YOUR KEYWORDS
This stage is the most important in your keyword research, first thing you will do here is to export the result from the keyword research tool you to a spreadsheet in your computer to have clear view of each keyword and the search volume.

You will see that some of these keywords are not related to your business, those with much competition and low conversion rate drop them and choose those words that you have content for. Avoiding broad terms and focusing on longtail keywords that will bring quality traffic to your website; you don’t need people who search for words, what you need is people who are searching for your service.

USE YOUR KEYWORDS
There are many ways you can use this keywords to optimize your website. They are what you will use in your web content, keyword meta tag, and title tag. These keywords are also what you will use in your ads campaign, article writing and search engine submission to promote your online business.

Several weeks ago the question of a new Google case sensitive search started appearing in a couple of message boards. I’ve noticed this phenomenon myself especially over the last two weeks when working on a particular customer’s website.

This issue impacted communication with the customer. At first, I thought it was a matter of the client and myself looking at results from two different data centers. Then I realized that the client was using capital letters in some words but not in others while searching and this impacted the results in Google.

For years, Google and the other search engines have stated that their searches are not case sensitive. But, now that seems not to be the case for some keyword phrases. You’ll have to note, however, that not all keyword phrases are impacted by the use or non-use of capital letters.

I’ve experimented somewhat with this and the results are mixed. Those who have weighed in on the message boards have also reported mixed results as well. There is a thread on the Digital Point forum that talks about this issue and the use of “Cool Time” versus “cool time” while searching Google.

Some people report seeing different results while others don’t. I can verify that I do see different results from these two searches. For me, when doing this search, the first two spots in the SERPs are the same, while the third spot on down are a bit different.

There are also threads over at Search Engine Watch and Webmaster World that are reporting the phenomenon but not the impact of the same issue. Now, the first question that pops to mind is “why?” What is the motivation for having a Google case sensitive search?

Right now, I can only speculate. Perhaps this is one attempt to thwart blog comment or message board spam? Or, perhaps this is an attempt to differentiate between a company’s official name or a product name and a generic word.

The impact of this Google case sensitive search could be large for some sites. Perhaps their company name is part of their primary homepage key phrase and they rank well when using capital letters for their company name. But, suppose most searchers type in lower case and the same website doesn’t rank as well in lower case.

This also brings to mind another question. Will link-builders now have to use anchor text with both upper and lower case letters in order to achieve optimal results in the Google SERPs? Do capital letters now affect the title and meta tag areas?

For many business owners case sensitive search will be a non-issue. But, for those that are affected knowing the answers to these questions may have a very large impact on their bottom lines.
