Could be. I know it has a lot going for it. The biggest thing it has going for it is it’s owned by Google. If Google can’t help you with search problems then who can?

Blogger on Google, or Blogger on my host?

I want to try out the totally free Blogger software hosted by the Blogger site. I am doing this because I want to see how Blogger handles everything. A lot of times we are our own worst enemies when it comes to Search Engine optimization on web pages. So many thing available to do to your page, and all we end up doing is splattering page juice all over the place, or worst yet, to other sites.

Indexing on Blogger

I have heard that if its a new site, and its on Blogger there is a good chance it will be indexed. We’ll see. I do feel that if it is on Blogger, the search engine Google, will know it’s not spam.  I don’t want to have anything to do with spam, so this is a good thing.

The Blogger subject

I picked something that would take me a very long time to get recognized for in the search engines. I picked Real Estate.  More specifically, Philadelphia PA Real Estate. More specifically, Metropolitan Philadelphia Real Estate. The blog is Philadelphia Real Estate. Thats the only link I am going to give it. I want to see what will happen.

Additions to the blog

I am going to limit any additions to the blog. I want to see what the software can do for me. I will keep writing articles on the blog and well see if Blogger Software is really the best software. Actually, it’s Blogger Software, on the Blogger Site.

Filed Under Progress Reports | 2 Comments

Paul Lamach, the owner of this BLOG has been selected as a participant in the Mission Possible Make Money Online Competition. There will be 100 participants.

The winner of the competition will win a trip to Las Vegas. As unbelievable as it may seem, I could care less about the prize. The prize is just an added bonus. What I am really looking forward to is the education I am going to receive. Not only is it a competition, it is going to be a learning experience. Luckily I will be learning from one of the Most Experenced Internet Marketers Online. If you’ve never visited his site, I highly recommend it.

My entry web site will be about The Real Estate Agent Online. I plan on really setting the record straight on how the real estate industry, and all agents involved are really missing a big opportunity in the real estate industry. This is going to require me to really sound off an piss off some real estate people. Oh well, the truth is the truth.

Search Engine Optimization

After you read this Popular Mechanics article, you’re going to know why you should consider a search engine optimization consultant, and what makes good web site design so important.

Search Quality is the goal

The Vice-President in charge of search quality at Google is Udi Manber. Veryrarely does he say anything at all about search engine results, or how to achieve the top listing in the search engines. Well, he did sit down for an interview the other day. You can read the article about the interview and immediately understand how hard it is to keep up with the search engine algorithm. The algorithm determines the top listings on the search engine results page.

What I learned about the Google Search Engine

I learned two very important things from reading the article:

1 - Google changed its’ search engine algorithm over 400 times last year. Ok, so if they work a normal 200 day year, that means they change their algorithm an average of two times a day. Now do you understand why most small business owners who have a web site don’t have a chance without an SEO consultant?

2 - Google can’t manually go in and make certain web pages show up better on the search results page for certain keywords. They can change their algorithm, which changes for all searches, but they can’t take one instance of a keyword search, and place or remove any one web page. They can’t say hey, let’s change the results for web site design, lamach web site design is showing up at 2, they should be at number 1.

Summary of the Google Search Engine Algorithm

This just confirms what I’ve been trying to say for a while now. The search engine results and the techniques used to get those results, by way of search engine optimization is constantly changing. Not only constantly changing, but changing at a fast pace, usually a couple times a day. Do yourself a favor, get a search engine optimization consultant to look at your web site. It will save you from wasting all kinds of valuable resources.

Site Review - Drexel Hill, Pa. BLOG

Posted on April 4, 2008
Filed Under Case Study, Web Site Design, Web Sites, Wordpress | 1 Comment

This is a website review of the Drexel Hill, Pa. Blog. I will be looking at the search engine optimization of the website. The Drexel Hill, Pa Blog is one of the many local websites that Rental Websites owns and runs. All their websites are considered local because they are geared toward locations. In this case the location is Drexel Hill, Pa.

Let me be right upfront - I own Rental Websites. Even though I own the site, I will be as objective as I possibly can be. I have my reputation to consider.

Overall Search Engine Optimization of Drexel Hill, Pa BLOG

The Drexel Hill, Pa. Blog is a wordpress blog. As a blog, this site has many advantages over a static website. I wrote an article about the advantages of blogging on the Drexel Hill, Pa. Blog. To review, here are some of the advantages of using a blog:

LIKES

Local - The entire site is focused towards one location. Anyone attached to this local website will be known for that location. The pages are strong with the keywords Drexel Hill, Pa.

Posting - Posting of content is easy and quick. If you can type you can add copy. Posts usually get indexed within minutes. Try that with your static website. I will put forth a warning. WordPress can be very difficult if you try to be tricky. Photos are sometimes a challenge, but basic link techniques are pretty simple.

Search Engine Optimized Pages - The pages are loved by the search engines.

Categories and Tagging - Categories are all geared toward the resident, or the business. The business is not mentioned in the categories. This is good. The industry the business is in is mentioned as a category. The business name gets put with the tags. As long as a business puts their name in the tag section of the post, all their posts will be in one place.

Hierarchy set-up - The Drexel Hill, Pa Blog will be linked to from the Pennsylvania blog, and the national blog. It will also be linked to from the Delaware County and Philadelphia Blog when they are completed. That’s a whole lot of power being traded.

Can be used as a web site, or to help market an existing web site - Sometimes you don’t need a large web site. The way the site is set-up a business could use its’ First post as it’s home page. An existing web site could use this web site for marketing and adding fresh content to their customers. All they would have to do is link to their tag, or link to their articles.

Price is right - Compared to having a website design, being part of this website is extremely attractive. It is even the right price for marketing your web site. Under $500 per year for most sites.

Dislikes

Long Address of site - WOW! all local sites use the ismylocationonline.com domain. The address for this site is drexelhill.pa.ismylocationonline.com/blog/. Thats quite a mouthful.

Age of site - The site is only 2-3 months old. In a year, this will be a non-issue, but for right now, the search engines are holding back authority.

Competition for being on front page - if there are 30 businesses and each posts 1 post a week, that means about 5 posts a day. That front page may change so much, that the audience misses the content.

Limited Locations - Right now there are only a few locations, less than 20. More is coming, and quick. But, for now, the locations list is limited.

Overall

I tried to be as objective as possible. If you disagree, please let me know. I’d be glad to change this copy to make it more accurate, I’m looking for accuracy here, not promotion. Thank you for your time.

Get listed on front page of BloggingZoom - PR4

Posted on March 6, 2008

If you’re not a member of BloggingZoom - You should be

BloggingZoom LogoBloggingZoom is a social website used to help bloggers get their articles promoted. It is a very useful tool because it is a PR4 with a lot of power. If you don’t belong to this FREE web site, I strongly recommend it. If you do, then here’s how you can get listed on the Front Page.

The Front Page of BloggingZoom is where the action is!

It is very beneficial to be listed on the front page of BloggingZoom. Let’s face it, that’s where all the action is. It is possible to get listed on BloggingZoom’s Front Page in three areas.

Upcoming Posts

Articles that are NOT published yet are Upcoming. BloggingZoom presently has a policy of NOT publishing a post until it gets 15 Zooms. Zooms are votes from other people. To get your article listed here, wait till you have about 9 or 10 zooms. OK, let’s put our plan into action. Click on Upcoming Posts on the top of the page. Then click on Most Popular. Now, zoom every post on that page! Every member of BZ should be doing this everyday, if not twice a day!

Here’s what happens when you do this. It adds zooms to the articles that are not published yet! When they get to 15 zooms, guess what they are removed from that section. They are now, Published Posts. Your article moves closer to that list of Upcoming Posts. When you get to the Most Popular Upcoming Posts page everyone will be zooming you! You should have this bookmarked, or as a favorite!

Published Posts

And guess what happens when you get published? You get listed on the Recently Popular Published Posts page, which is the default content page for BZ. You are on the front page again!

Recently Saved Articles

Here’s another trick. When your post gets about 8 or 9 zooms, save it. You can only save an article once, so when you save it is very important. When you save your post it gets listed on the front page! It gets put under Recently saved posts on the bottom of the right sidebar.

The Perfect Plan to get on the Front Page of BloggingZoom

Follow this plan and before you know it - You’ll get published on the front page of BloggingZoom!
