Search Engine Optimization. SEO For Facebook from Jay Mock on Vimeo.
Brief History of Relationship between Bing, Yahoo & Now Facebook
Facebook & SEO
Facebook pages, as a community management tool have become very important for a few reasons. In the last part of October 2010 Facebook pages started receiving first page ranking form Google organic listings.
Benefits:
-
Pages Get Internal Promotion on Facebook.com
Facebook Page updates will show up on your fans' page feed when they "Like" it -. Page updates are promoted on the right hand "suggestion" column when your friends join them. *( How to get people to like you is discussed below)
-
Search Engine Visibility
When it comes to getting visibility off of Facebook: Pages now can be seen by non-Facebook users, and can be crawled by search engines as any other static page would. It's also important to mention that Facebook
Pages can have a "vanity URL"
Here is mine, http://www.facebook.com/commercial.lighting.
Click Here To Claim Yours. This can only be done once and cannot be changed.
-
Search On Google for “Discount Ramps” renders a page 3 ranking on a Facebook “Note” & Twitter page.
A Facebook Page is kind of like a blog. It gets updated by you, just like a website would. Use it to make broad product categories (like Commercial Lighting, Sport Lighting, Outdoor Lighting, and Residential Lighting).
1. Facebook pages & notes are now visible to search engines (notes are not visible in business account).
2. Each Facebook page is like a subdomain in functionality.
3. Each page has its own wall.
4. Creates a community mailing list that you can reach out to at any time!
5. Should put up both types of pages.
Two Kinds Of Facebook Accounts
There are two kinds of Facebook accounts you can have: personal and business.
1. A personal account is what you get when you sign on as a regular user, and create a profile for yourself: an individual. A business account is what a personal account can be converted into.
2. A Business Account is limited in the sense that search engines can only view ad placements and Facebook Pages, but nothing else.
How To Create A “Page” (A Facebook Page Is Like A Main Category Page On A Website).
-
Join Facebook
-
Login to Facebook
-
Create a facebook page by typing “create page” in FB search window.
-
On the right side under “Official Page” select the brand, product, or organization radio button.
Under page name enter a category main keyword. Example: “Commercial Lighting Fixtures”.
Facebook User Application Levels
1. Business has no website & no blog will have to enter all information manually using simple HTML code:
<a href="http://www.rlldesign.com">RLLD Commercial Lighting Fixtures</a>
End Result: RLLD Commercial Lighting Fixtures
Allowed HTML Tags
http://www.facebook.com/help/?page=817#!/notes_cheatsheet.php
Example Page 1: Link done with HTML
http://www.facebook.com/notes.php?id=184409798251065¬es_tab=app_2347471856#!/notes/jay-mock/tennis-court-lighting/169034489807095
Example 2: Link done with page address:
http://www.facebook.com/notes/jay-mock/tanamatsu-tagawa-japan-tennis-court-lighting-case-study/169323209778223#!/notes/jay-mock/tips-on-buying-commercial-lighting-poles-light-fixtures/168830376494173
2. Business has website with xml or rss but no segmented feed and a blog will have to enter all notes manually along with importing blog feed to facebook notes. Word Press does a good job of segmenting out categories. Example: Each main category has its own rss feed button: http://rlldesign.com/blogs/category/commercial-lighting-fixtures/
3. Do Not Pull A lot of posts in one day, you may get blocked for pulling to many feeds.
4. Business has website with segmented xml or rss feeds and a blog feed.
All website feeds are pulled to Facebook dynamically.

| | | Diversification of Back Links ( 0 ) | |
Google & Link Diversification
Panda Update. The first thing Google/Panda did was to employ live human value raters to study thousands of websites. Machine learning computers are then employed to emulate the human raters. A computer score that becomes satisfactory at predicting how humans scored is then applied by Google/Panda to millions of websites. Googles spider may be digital but it gets its behavior from live humans.
Some rumors are floating around that Panda will not penalize entire site is not true. If a certain percentage of your pages fall below a certain quality level Google will punish the entire website. Correcting a number of these pages might be enough to recover your sites ranking.
Things To Avoid
· Pages that is void of useful, helpful or quality content.
· Make sure unique content is located above the first fold of the page.
· Pages that just have internal links to other pages and no original content. Try adding quality content to offending pages.
· Not delivering a different topic on every page.
· Creating many pages that are recycled using different versions of the same keywords or auto generated content (spinning programs) that produce a high bounce rate.
· A page full of adds
· Too many affiliate links
· Creating pages or sites that are built for search engines, not humans
· Inbound links that are not diversified is the most important of all.

| | | Reputation Management ( 5 ) | |
Reputation management services by SEO411 protects you from the inevitable criticism of those who are envious and malicious. We live in a world where certain individuals attempt to make themselves look better by making you look bad. Such tactics have always been common, but they have become increasingly prevalent in this civilization ruled by the Internet.
Online Reputation management uses the truth to overcome any negative statements about you that may appear on the front page of Google and Bing. Forget about the possibility that something negative about you may be based upon a mistake you made. Mistakes do not detract from the core truth of who you are. Mistakes do not diminish one iota the value you deliver to your clients. We are not here to put mistakes on trial and determine guilt or innocence. Rather, we are here to promote your value production to such an extent that the negative reviews are pushed down in the search rankings. In their place, a new vision of the results you produce emerges in the mind of the reader. After this step we recommend that preventative maintenance of your reputation be an ongoing task to prevent future issues.
In its simplest form, online reputation management creates URL domination on the front page. URL domination means that every listing that pertains to your organization points to a URL managed on your behalf by SEO411. This domination is achieved by making a number of strategic moves to counter any negative commentary that may be floating your way in cyberspace.
The most straightforward method of achieving this is to purchase multiple URL’s that reference your company name or something that your company offers. This essentially amounts to a form of brand positioning, with who you are and what you do being placed at the top of the search results every time a key phrase related to your organization, your offerings, or your particular industry is typed into a search engine.
Another tool a reputation management service will use is the strategic application of content. Domain names in and of themselves are empty containers that must be filled with intelligent content that itemizes the results that people can expect from doing business with you. People want to save time, which in turn saves them money, which in turn makes them money.
Clear expression of what you have done and continue to do along all of these three lines is published in the form of feature articles, business blogs, testimonials, and press releases. Each of these media requires the ongoing publication of content to maintain brand positioning. Equally important are the facts that each piece of content communicate to the world. Most slander and criticism you may receive is emotionally charged drivel published in the form of some kind of rant. Compare that to a matter of fact itemization of benefits, and like the old saying goes, your reputation will once more speak for itself.
To ensure that reputation management delivers results according to your expectations, we strictly monitor everything from web traffic to your many URL’s, blogs, social media sites, and any feedback with which readers respond. Proper online reputation management services keep a finger on the pulse of your marketplace, and it sees to it that your position in that marketplace remains in the Alpha position of dominance no matter what smaller beast creeps up your name in a vain attempt to take you down. | |
| | | Search Engine Optimization ( 12 ) | |
Search engine optimization is the heart of what we do for each and every one of our clients.
Our clients benefit from organic listings that maintain consistently high positions in Google and Bing. This is due to the ongoing efforts of copywriting staff that consistently work to develop a robust presentation of content across the board.
Key phrases are carefully researched that pertain directly to what you offer as an organization.
A variety of written tools is then developed around each key phrase that makes an intelligent presentation of facts and values to those who find your site.
Over time, constant writing based on these search engine optimization methods results in a saturation of terms across the spectrum of your value production.
Pages from your site, describing what you do from many points of view, populate the rankings. People begin to see you everywhere, and they will read what they see when they find it.
Such market exposure gives you an intelligent advantage over competitors who take SEO shortcuts.
While some people believe that a few brief pages is all they need to get their point across, our clients soon realize that marketing is more than making a point. It is consistently discussing actions and results in a tangible ways that people can grasp.
With concrete information, people who read the material on your website are more likely to be motivated to trust you and invest in your services.
The reason for that is simple. You are the one company, standing out in the crowd, who explains in plain terms exactly what they can expect for their money.
Search engine optimized content is developed in many forms on your site.
The most important pieces we create for you are articles that explain in detail what prospective clients can expect from working with you. Articles are targeted toward search terms that are researched and determined to bring the greatest possible exposure on a given topic.
By targeting the many key phrases that pertain most to your company offerings, we create the equivalent of a net to bring in as many unique visitors to your website as possible.
This gathering effect is further reinforced by other forms of content that are added to your site on a daily basis.
Blogs are always included in our search engine marketing plans.
Blogs offer a short, condensed presentation of your value in very readable forms that can be varied in length, style, and level of conversational speech. Blogs improve search engine optimization by creating a more robust content offering that gives the search engines—and the mind of the reader—so much more to grab on to.
Article publication services are also a very necessary component of our search engine marketing initiatives.
This drives additional market penetration and creates back links pointing to your site from all over the Web. Reciprocal links are also pursued with other companies, when appropriate, to help generate even more links and to offer you the opportunity for referral partnerships such link sharing creates.
As your relationship with SEO411 grows, systemic application of all of these search engine optimization tools takes your website into an entirely new domain of Internet marketing.
Dialogue, social networking, community management, and client empathy become the very essence of your new revenue streams. | |

Is Naming Your Images Correctly Important?
Google Plus is now open to the public. No sign-up required. Just go to google.com/+ and join the party.
Google has nine new features for Google Plus.
Hangouts - the video chat feature - have come to mobile, currently supporting Android 2.3+ devices, and iOS support is "coming soon." Hangouts also now have an "On Air" feature, which allows any Google Plus user to tune in and watch. Furthermore, Hangouts now offer screensharing, a shared sketchpad, and names for Hangouts. But perhaps the killer app is Google Docs in Hangouts, which will open up the possibility of live collaborative work (especially once Google Apps accounts get access).
3. Finally, the update also adds native search to Google Plus, which turns up Google Plus content as well as stuff from around the Web for easy sharing. This is another avenue for creating traffic and back links.

SEO411’s high impact website design results in deep market penetration. Our goal is to create consistent, long-term lead generation for every client.
Our websites are aesthetically balanced and speak to the beauty of simplicity without busy overkill. The power of our approach, and the key to the success that we create for you, is the rigorous SEO initiatives our staff undertake on a daily basis.
Our core values mandate that what we build for you must be seen by your clients to be useful to you. We see little point in creating a website that no one ever sees.
We avoid wasting time on abstract theory, constant talk, and hypotheticals that waste time and energy.
If a tree falls in the woods, it has nothing to do with making you money. We avoid going down such nonsense roads in our negotiations.
Instead, we take the initiative in strategizing website designs that put you in the Alpha position of market dominance.
Copywriters are trained to speak on your behalf through articles and blogs that showcase the unique value production that characterizes your particular organization. We want your clients to feel familiar with you before they actually contact you. We want them to feel they know you well enough already that they won’t bother to call your competitors.
The importance of copywriting in our search marketing website design cannot be overemphasized.
Copywriting drives organic listings in search engine rankings that consistently put your website above that of your competitors. This establishes a long-term, consistent level of exposure that ongoing website management will maintain on your behalf.
Our copywriters are trained to promote tangibles. Generalities, clichés, and vagaries are rejected in favor of the clear, the simple, and the concrete.
Your clients need to be able to visualize the benefits of what you will do for them when they read the articles and blogs on your site. There is no point in hiding behind doublespeak or pompous language when the facts of value production and return on investment make a far more powerful statement on your behalf. The truth helps, the truth works, and the truth makes money in the long run.
Results are directly proportional to partnership, and expectations should be set for the long term.
Anyone who may have sold you website design as an instant money bag has probably, unfortunately, already taken your money. SEO411 makes no such ostentatious claims. Our professionals commit themselves to long term plans with great rewards at the end of the tunnel. As we labor, we do not cease to come up with strategies that can be executed on behalf of improving your revenue stream along the way.
We are candid about the hard work that is involved in making you money.
We neither rely upon the economy, nor do we cower down before its threats. Website design is an essential in this civilization no matter what flips the economy makes. With SEO411 as your consulting partner in business development, you can be confident that your organization will not flip, but instead will steadily grow through careful, deliberate, and systematic cultivation of your success. | |
| | | Website Development ( 0 ) | |
Every website development project is defined by customization to personal client need foremost in mind.
Sites are balanced and attractive, with a visual appeal that reinforces the value production that characterizes the nature of true business. These sites are also highly functional. Advanced internet marketing techniques, combined with the best in copywriting and web editing services, make your site easy for potential clients to find.
We consider it pointless to build websites that rival cinema if no one can find with pertinent search terms that matter to your business. Our website development gives you something far more valuable—concentrated, strategic search engine optimization methods to consistently generate qualified leads for your sales team.
This returns your investment in us, and it increases your profits with surplus revenues. We make no bones about this being a process. Nothing that good happens overnight. But for those who value commitment in consulting relationships, who are in those relationships for the long haul, good returns are sure to follow.
We never cease to emphasize how truly important the SEO aspect of web development truly is.
We hold ourselves to a very high standard that insists on keeping you high in the rankings. Our founding principle has always been websites have to be found first before they can be seen, and they must be seen before they can be admired.
With strategically targeted articles, blogs, and ongoing website development, we position you higher than your competitors in the search engine rankings.
We do this by telling the plain truth in a way that educates your clients in the nature of your services. We enumerate in plain English the tangible values people can expect to receive by doing business with you. We also help them see a return on their money at the end of the investment tunnel.
We do not write feel good material that says nothing when you read it, nor do we use glittering generalities like those used by other website development groups.
People already know you have “excellent customer service” and “quality” to offer.
It is so much better just to spell out the facts. Just tell people what they get, and how much money they can either save or make, if they make an investment in you. This gives you tremendous credibility in the eyes of the public when juxtaposed against the facades of those who avoid deliberately avoid speaking the substantial.
Time invested in your website development relationship is directly proportional to the payoff you receive.
Perhaps someone told you that a new site will brings buckets of money in the first 30 days. Then they took your money and you never saw it again.
We don’t do that. We are forthright about the amount of time and labor we anticipate will be required to generate the results you expect.
Our professionals commit themselves to a plan, and then they execute that plan with neither a fear of the economy holding them back, nor a cushion of economy holding them up. Variables come and go. Consistent partnership and community management never ceases to pay off. | |
