I am hoping you can give me some help. I am a sales rep in Chicago for Waste Management and I've decided to create a website to help generate leads. My website is www.wmchicago.com - Here is my question (I hope it makes sense). My keyword phrase is going to mainly target businesses in Chicago. I feel there are a few key phrases I want to target because I feel potential customers can "google" a few different phrases. If they are new customers looking for garbage service, they might type in any of the following: Waste Management Chicago waste removal Chicago garbage hauler Chicago garbage service Chicago trash hauler Chicago trash service Chicago Waste Management Recycling Chicago Recycling Service Chicago My Home page Title - Description - Content is really focused on the keywords of: Waste Management Chicago waste removal Chicago - Here is my question: - On the home - do I want to key in all the key word searches on my home page: i.e recycling services chicago, garbage hauler chicago, trash hauler chicago, Waste Management Recycling Chicago, Compactors, Green etc. or do I want to target certain keyword phrases only on particular pages on my website. EXAMPLE: Home Page - Use only keywords such as Waste Management Chicago, waste removal chicago - Recycling Page - Use word only associated with recycling in Chicago - Waste Management Chicago Recycling, Recycling Service Chicago. Hope that makes sense - I leaning towards using keywords only for the particular page since the CONTENT will be there - i.e. If I make a recycling page and use recycling words - the Search Engines should see the content is about recycling. I think if I use recycling keywords and the content is about compactors - then I would guess the search engines would not give me as high of a ranking. Thanks for the help - New at SEO - Thanks for all the tips. Rob 6. Push Button Money - A Home Business Dream Come True!! If you can Push a PLAY Button then you can make money with this...

Download My FreeSEO eBook while it's still FREE 16. do the search engines treat different domain extensions differently? I've got one website on a .info domain - and I'm having difficulty getting this one particular website ranked for the keyword phrase it is build around. I purchased this domain and created this site particularly to get positioning on this one phrase. The strange thing is that its got a google PR4, so it should be doing much better than it is. So my question is "do the search engines give any different weighting to different domain extensions .com, .net or .info etc?" 17. FREE domain hosting and SEO. Hi aPaul -Michael from Toronto here again. I'm wondering if you could answer a question around domain hosting and SEO. I have signed up with a free hosting provider (doteasy) that supports full custom domains but just realized they do not offer static IP address with the free package. Will this affect my SEO efforts? 18. H1, H2, H3 etc. tags... Are they really that important? My question is this. I have read varying opinions on the use of H1, H2, H3 etc. tags and their impact on the search engines. Are they really that important? And if they are, does it matter if I alter then using CSS instead? Lastly, do they impact just Google or others as well? 19. 2 blogs share nearly 100% of the same content I have two blogs: If you look closely, you'll realize that both blogs share nearly 100% of the same content. I did this so that I could further develop the LOCAL blog (since I was trying to get better placement for local potential clients). Indeed, the LOCAL one took off and is number 1. The other blog is not doing nearly as well (more competition for the state-wide search term). Though I'm convinced that I'm doing something else wrong that keeps me buried - I KNOW my content is newer and fresher than much of my competition. 20. How do doorway/gateway pages work with blogs? I have 4 wordpress blogs which I host myself. Only one of my sites is a "static" webpage, although it does have a subdomain which is a wordpress blog as well. In any case, I have applied a setting in Wordpress that turns the title of each blog post into a full text descriptive name (including date and category). Does this count as a doorway/gateway page? 21. A question about Keyword order Keyword Ordering - When creating keyword tags, is it necessary to come up with every possible permutation of the same string? For example, if I have 'florida probate law,' must I also have 'probate law florida' or 'law probate florida'? Or does Google get the picture? 22. What would you add to make these 2 URLs better? Here's my question: =============== Since the sporans are made of either "fur" or "leather." What would you add to make these 2 URLs better? ------------ http://www.sporans.com/fur/fursporans.html and http://www.sporans.com/leather/leathersporans.html ------------ I was thinking ------------ /fabrics/ (but, sounds like cloth) and /materials/ and /type/ (but, both sound too vague or general) /please-suggest-a-more-descriptive-directory-here/ to become /X/ below. So, the 2 URLs will become: ------------ http://www.sporans.com/X/fur/fursporans.html and http://www.sporans.com/X/leather/leathersporans.html ------------ 23. I'm on the 1st page of Google but not getting traffic. Why not? I've followed your advise and managed to get a 1st page placement of Google... But my website traffic doesn't seem to be increasing much. Any ideas why not? 24. What if I only do business LOCALLY? Can SEO help my business? OK, lets say you ONLY want to do business in your LOCAL Area, in your particular City, County, State, Country or Region... Can SEO be used to advertise your business to just your LOCAL market? 25. What about SEO for a site with quite a few images that read as text? If you were 'maintaining' a Web site that you had no hand in its original design and there were quite a few images that read as text, but were really just text made into the image... How would you make text (ie. 'more than 75 members') search-able in the Search Engines? 26. A question how domain names can have a play in an SEO campaign If I have a business that sells chocolate ice cream and my domain is chocolatedelights.com would it be wise that I purchase a domain (such as chocolateicecream.com) that matches one of my keywords and then point that domain to chocolatedelights.com? What would be the potential result in Google if someone searches for Chocolate Ice Cream? 27. Question about domain names, directory names & page names. Say you're using a similar version of your example about Chocolate Ice Cream... If you were launching a totally new Web site with a fresh/never been used domain name, ... For example, if you had just bought icecream.com, and you wanted to start simply at first by using only Chocolate and Vanilla flavors of ice cream and you also wanted to sell Baklava, and maybe Napoleans ... ( Makes ya hungry just thinkin' 'bout 'em all, don't it? :) LOL ) Knowing that your URL get crawled by the search engine spiders,... Which of these URLs would be the best SEO solution, if you had complete control of all the names, and would some/any of them be sorta SPAM-ish or OverKill to the search engine spiders? 28. Another question about 'fresh content'. I am currently developing content for a web site and have a question that hopefully you may be able to answer. You frequently state that adding 'fresh content' to your site is one of the best ways to increase your page rank with the major search engines. Unfortuately most of the pages on my site will contain evergreen content with little need to add fresh content... For example, assume my site was all about furniture refinishing. It might have a page on how to sand drawers, a page on how to repair wood gouges, and a page on how to apply stain. Let us also assume this content is the best written and most comprehensive ever written on the subject. There would be no reason to ever add fresh content to these pages, right? Sure, I could spend lots of time re-writing/re-phrasing/re-structuring copy, but this seems to be to a huge waste of time that adds no value to the user. 29. How can I get listed in regional directories? 1.) Do you need to and should you submit your Web site to Google UK, Google Ireland, and what amounts to Google Scotland and similar branches of Yahoo? Or does the general submission to Google and Yahoo (worldwide) 'cover all the bases'? I'm also interested in learning more about domain names with 2-letter country code endings (like: .co.uk and .ie)..... 2.) On the search engine form, how do you go about getting listed in the results for 'pages from Ireland' or in the Google regional Directory for 'Search only in Scotland'? Would you *have* to have a '.ie' or '.uk' domain name respectively? And, is it possible for an American citizen to purchase a '.ie', '.uk' or other international domain name? And, if it is possible, would it necessarily be considered Black Hat to do so, or would it be just another form of 'covering all of your SEO bases'? 30. Part 3 & 4: Link Ranking & Hosting your Blog 'outside' your main domain? 3. I use the 'link' command to see who's linked to me. Is there a 'rank' command to determine how many pages deep my site appears on google? -- 4. I have been talking to other legal bloggers who say that I should host my blog OUTSIDE of my main domain. That is, don't put my blog as a subdomain of my main site. Any SEO effect to that? 31. Part 2 of 4 - How can I tell if Google has Blacklisted my site? Here's a simple way to tell if your site has been blackilsted by Google & other search engines. 32. 1st of a 4 part question: I use adwords. Is that BAD for SEO? I use adwords. Is that BAD for SEO? What interest does google have in bumping up my positioning, if I'm paying for it! 33. Common/uncommon spellings and singular/plurals of a domain I am developing a Web site for a client, and I have a question for you. Say I am developing www.wheelbaRowS.com (a fictitious site). If other common/uncommon spellings and singular/plurals of a domain (such as: wheelbaRow.com, wheelbaRRowS.com, and wheelbaRRow.com) came up for sale, should I buy them up to eliminate the competition? And, if I'm mainly interested in developing just the 1st site, what's the best SEO solution for using or not using the other 3 (for instance) domains? 34. My question is about sites with a focus on photo/illustrative content My question is about sites with a focus on photo/illustrative content. I know content is king when it comes to winning the search engines' favor.and that fresh, up-to-date content is necessary for good placement. But if your site deals with visual over written content, what is the best way to generate enough relevant content? Are image alt tags enough or does one need to Come up with continuous copy for the site.even when the site's image content might change only a daily basis? 35. I was listed in Google & changed my Title Tag & dropped off. I had positioning in Google & then made a change to my Title Tag & dropped off. How can I fix the problem and get re-listed? 36. Using Forum Posts to boost search engine placement. Posting to Forums can be a great way to quickly boost your search engine rankings... If done the right way... It's almost SNEAKY! 37. Issue regarding multiple words used in domains, directories, and filenames. I have been listening to your podcast(s) for a while and was wondering about a particular issue regarding multiple words used in domains, directories, and filenames. Here's the question: If you had to rank these choices from best to worst, in terms of good SEO, what would your order be? Say you had a person's name (or multiple keywords making up a new domain name) that needed to be used in a directory name and also a filename inside that directory. If the person's name were: Mary Virginia Smith-Collier (as an example), what is your opinion on using the "%20 space character" vs. the hyphen("-") vs. the underscore("_") vs. just running all the names together in one long string, and possibly eliminating a hyphen in a name? I heard that if the one long string created another "undesirable" word when joined that that would confuse the Search Engine spider and therefore, you should *never* join multiple words as one long string. For instance: Pleasant Hill Estates would give you the obvious: pleasANTHILLestates.com as a sorta funny example. 38. FOLLOW-UP to Minimizing the Risk when switching to Wordpress A brief follow-up in regards to Linking and the previous lesson. 39. I have the number one ranking for a HTML Site but... I am in the process of changing to wordpress for the some or the entire site. I am concerned I will loose my top ranking by changing the site. Is there anything I should be doing to minimize the risk? 40. How to get new web pages crawled almost instantly. Here is how to get NEW web pages crawled really fast... Within ONE Day! 41.

I launched a new site a couple of weeks ago but do not have positioning yet I followed your instructions from previous lessons & submitted my site to google, they said they crawled it, but I have not gotten positioning yet. Any suggestions? 43. What are Link Pages? I know linking plays an important role in search engine optimization but how exactly are link PAGES used in SEO? 44. Follow-up to Domain Names & Page Names - Directory Names & SEO In the previous lesson we talked about how domain names, and also page names, can play an important role in search engine optimization BUT sometimes that just is not possible for several reasons. I will cover some of those reasons in this lesson and show you a way to get around it and/or enhance it with Directory Names. 45. How do domain names and page names effect SEO? I have heard that the name of my domain, and also the names of my web pages, play a role in search engine optimization. Just how big of a role do they play and why? 46. Using Press Releases for Search Engine Placement is EASY! Getting to the TOP of Google, Yahoo!, etc. is EASY to do with Press Releases. Here's what I mean... 47. What is the MOST important component of Search Engine Optimization? Of all the things you have covered in previous lessons, what is, in your opinion, the #1 most important... The make-it or break-it thing? 48. Are there other things that search engines will ban me for?

Are there any other things that search engines may ban or black list my site for? 49. What is meant by search engine black listing? I have heard that sometimes search engines will black list websites. Is this really possible, and if so, what would cause it to happen? 50. What is meant by search engines Feeding off of each other?

Should I use meta keywords and descriptions on my blog? A service like Blogger would put the same keywords and description on every page. 53. Should I put keywords or meta data in the Whois Database? I have seen sites that put keywords or meta data in the whois database for their contact info. Is this a good strategy or will it cause me problems? 54. Is it true that Flash will hurt my search engine positioning? Is there a way to use Flash on my Website that won't conflict with SEO? 55. How many search engines are there & how do I submit to all of them? I've seen ads that say things like "we'll submit your website to 800+ search engines" etc. Are there really that many & where do I find them? I've also heard you recommend submitting manually instead of using a service to do it. Wouldn't it take a long time to submit manually to hundreds of search engines? 56. What is Daisy Chaining? What exactly is a Daisy Chain and how does it help with search engine optimization. 57. How often should I submit my website to the search engines? I've heard that you shouldn't submit a website to the search engines to often. Is this true and if so, why and how often do you recommend? 58. Can I get search engine placement for my replicated Affiliate Site? My company provides me with a replicated affiliate website, just like thousands of others that are exactly the same.

If not, then why not? 62. Will using RSS Feeds boost my rankings in the search engines? Are RSS Feeds helpful for Search Engine Optimization? If so, what's the best way to use them? 63. How important is link popularity for SEO and what exactly is it? I've heard that link popularity is an important part of search engine optimization. How important is it really and how do I go about getting it? 64. What is a 404 error page and should I make a custom one? If I do make a custom 404 Error Page will it benefit my search engine optimization & placement? 65. What is a robots.txt file and do I really need one? I've heard it is a good idea to have a "robots.txt" file. Is it really all that important and if so, just how important is it? 66. Is it worth it to buy search engine ads like Google AdWords? Is it worth it to buy search engine ads like Google AdWords? Why or why not and how much would you spend on them if it is worth it? 67.
