We have finally gotten some relief from the awful heat

and humidity, yesterday's high was under 90 AND today,

at 4pm central USA time, I think it is still about 80!

 

We had three, I think, 3 digit days already in JULY

and it is bad enough that August is pretty much all

3 digit days. The coolness was apparently brought on

or at least contributed to by the terrible storms we

have been having but I guess it is a fair trade off, lol.

 

Funny how quickly this old lady can move when the first

sound of thunder or *feel* of lightning comes - I unplug

everything but freezers and refrigerators and live with

the fear that one or more of those will get hit by my

NOT doing so. But I admit happily to being quite paranoid-

over the 24 years I have lived in this old house, so far

2 refrigerators, 2 TV's, a computer, a laptop, a DVD player

and 5 phone lines along with the cable FOR my laptop that

fried and 2 answering machines connected TO phones that

were struck, HAVE been struck. They say lightning will

not hit the same place twice, exactly WHAT place do

"they" mean? I am here to tell you that it can and does!

 

I want to welcome quite a few new subscribers since last

Thursday's mailing, you are very much appreciated and

I sincerely hope you will find some value in OUR ezine

and will stay for a long time.

 

Happy August, everyone, hard to believe it starts

tomorrow, whew. This year is flying by. :-)

What Are The Benefits Of Optimizing Your Website

 For Search Engines?

 

Search engine optimization (SEO) is very essential

if you want to successfully earn money online.

 

Because of the importance of SEO, many website owners

spend a lot of money and effort improving their website

ranking on search engines. This article outlines the key

benefits of SEO to your website and to your online

business’ success.

 

*  SEO helps to increase the ranking of your website

on search engines. When your website ranks high on search

engines, it means you get high volumes of traffic that is

directed to your web site through the search engines.

More traffic means more sales.

 

*  SEO helps you to save money on paid advertising.

If your website is well optimized and receives large

volumes of traffic through search engines, you get

a large volume of traffic coming to your website

through organic links on the search engines.

This means that you do not have to spend money

on other advertising tools such as Pay Per Click (PPC).

 

*  Optimizing your website for search engines and using

your keywords and phrases in this process ensures that

you get targeted visitors on your website. If you use

all your keywords and phrases in your articles and website

content, it means that your website is visible on search

engines for your relevant keywords. When people type your

keywords on search engines, your website ranks high on

search engines.

 

*  SEO helps you dominate your niche. If your website

ranks high on all major search engines, and for all your

keywords, you soon dominate the niche and become an expert

in your niche or topic. This builds a good reputation for

you, which further drives more traffic to your website.

 

With all these benefits of SEO, it is important that you

start to optimize your website for search engines today!

The Key SEO Mistakes That You Must Avoid

 

 

Optimizing a website for search engines requires a lot

of consistent effort. Many internet marketers expect

immediate success in ranking high on search engines,

and they soon realize that this is not possible.

 

This article presents the common mistakes which people

make in search engine optimization (SEO).

 

*  Failure to apply constant effort in optimizing

a website for search engines. SEO involves continuous

effort in carrying out all the key activities that can

help you rank high on search engines. Many people fail

in their efforts to rank high on search engines because

they expect overnight success, and they soon give up

when they fail to see immediate results. It is important

for you to gradually add new content to your website so

that search engines visit your website more often.

 

You also need to steadily build links to your website

in order to improve your ranking on search engines.

 

*  Failure to use different SEO strategies and tools.

It is important for you to use different tools for

optimizing your website. You must also aim to rank high

on several major search engines. Choose about four main

search engines and aim to rank high on them. Write and

submit articles, participate in relevant forums, submit

your website to many directories and search engines and

exchange links with related websites that have high

popularity rank. List the strategies that you intend

to follow in optimizing your website for search engines,

and make sure that you carry them out on a regular basis.

 

*  Lack of a good understanding of your niche’s keywords

and phrases. If you want to successfully optimize your

website, it is important that you know all your keywords

and it is also important that you use these keywords on

your website content, in your articles, and in any other

content that you use to promote your website. Many people

make the mistake of using untargeted keywords and phrases

on their websites and other content that is meant to drive

traffic to their website. Some internet marketers and

website owners also fail to use their keywords on the

title tag of their website.

 

*  Lack of patience. Many web masters get impatient

and they want to see their website rank high on search

engines immediately. They fail to apply constant effort

in implementing their SEO strategies. SEO requires that

you patiently use your selected strategies and tools in

optimizing your website for search engines.

 

If you want to succeed in optimizing your website

for search engines, it is important that you avoid

the mistakes outlined above.
