<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000;">A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words.</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;">Discover How Relevant Images Boost SEO</span></h2>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-714" title="SEO Boost Image" src="/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/SEO-Boost-Image.jpg" alt="SEM, SEO, Google, Internet, marketing" width="350" height="364" /><strong>Images </strong>aren’t just there to spice up your posts. They can also draw in traffic as well. Search engines like good images if put into your web page the right way. The Search Engine Bots will reward you with higher relevance and more traffic.</p>
<p>When properly used, images can help your blogs search engine optimization. You’ll need to pay attention to two attributes/HTML tags: <em>alt </em>and <em>title</em>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>The <em>alt</em> attribute stands for “alternate text”</strong></span>, which stands in for the image when it can’t be displayed properly. The alt attribute is a pillar of website accessibility, and is a big plus for the visually-impaired users and those who use speech synthesizers. But aside from this, the <em>alt </em>tag is the most important part of image SEO.</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>By adding an <em>alt</em> tag that is keyword specific</strong></span> will in fact strengthen your post and your blog in the search engine rankings. While keywords are important, don’t forget that <em>alt</em> text is primarily <strong>descriptive</strong> text — don’t get carried away with too much spam. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>The Search Engines are not stupid learn to work with them.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Next, the <em>title</em> tag</strong></span> tells what text is to be displayed when a user hovers the mouse over the image. It can be less descriptive than the <em>alt </em>text, a long description will not be displayed in full when used as a <em>title</em>, but that doesn’t mean you can’t put in some keywords. Of course, you can’t use these attributes if you don’t have any images in the first place.</p>
<p><strong>When writing your article, a story normally develops, finding supporting images that helps to tell the story should be your goal.</strong></p>

<h2><span style="color: #ff0000;">Your Own Secret SEO Tool!</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;">Quality Content Rules, Become The King!</span></h2>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-698" title="Behind The Mind Of A Warrior RSS 3" src="/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/BehindTheMindOfAWarriorRSS31.jpg" alt="Behind The Mind Of A Warrior RSS 3" width="360" height="270" />RSS FEEDS &amp; SEO</strong></p>
<p>Online content rules! It’s the very thing that makes people come to your website. It’s what keeps them coming back as well. Good content is what brings the search engine bots to your site over and over and gets you into the various search engine indexes.</p>
<p>Good content is the most effective way to get top search engine results. Producing very good content can be time consuming however. Fortunately, not all your content needs to be generated solely by you individually.</p>
<p>Blogging has become popular in recent years, and professional bloggers who produce great content have become more and more common. RSS newsfeeds have become a great tool for automatically importing content into your website.</p>
<p>RSS, short for really simple syndication, is a feed channel generated by blogs and other sites containing links to new content. This can be a great tool to automatically import new content into your website.</p>
<p>The main purpose of RSS newsfeeds is to make it easy to syndicate content, or publish it on other sites. This is how newspapers pick up and publish stories from the Associated Press as an example.</p>
<p>RSS newsfeed channels are data feeds that are generated by blogs and other sites containing links to the newest content on those various sites. Typically contain a headline a summary and a link to the content. Also other data like the date it was publish and who the author was.</p>
<p>You might think a blogger would object to other people syndicating their content, and some do. But those who understand the benefits of being syndicated usually welcome it with open arms, as long as it’s done properly. When syndicating others content you should always link back to the publisher. And syndicated content should not be the sole content of the page it’s displayed on. This is only ethical.</p>
<p><strong><br />
Benefits of Syndicating Content</strong><br />
Syndication is a benefit to both the publisher of an RSS feed and also to who syndicated it. The publishers benefit is getting links to their website. The visitors who come to a syndicated site may click through to read all the great content by a good author. The search engines count the links as votes for the publisher’s site, which moves them up in the rankings.</p>
<p>The syndicator benefits by getting fresh new, auto updated content for their website. This is good for the visitors, since it helps them find good related content. Of course you need to pick a feed that actually does have good content. This can help with search engine rankings too because the search engines will see fresh content being added to the site regularly. This suggests that the site is up to date and well worth sending visitors to.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em><strong>Now let’s look at just how to maximize the Search Engine Optimization value of a syndicated RSS feed.</strong></em></span><br />
<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Use feeds that are relevant to your keywords</strong><br />
Auto updating your content is much like an SEO tool all in its self. Because search engines reward sites that are updated on a regular basis. It is also true that search engines may consider older content more authoritative, especially if a lot of sites are linking to it. Fresh content is ranked high because it’s usually more current.</p>
<p>One other benefit of frequently updated content is that search engines will visit your site more often, so when you post new content or links on a page that is frequently updating using RSS feeds, they get picked up and indexed faster.</p>
<p>But auto updating content for its own sake is only the beginning. The first optimization you need to make is to choose a feed with content that’s relevant to your site.</p>
<p>In the early days most feed channels were about technology, politics, or some lone bloggers personal life story. These days, chances are good that someone (<span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>not your competitor</em></span>) is publishing a feed more or less focused on the exact topic and keywords of your website. Now if this content comes from a website with a higher PR than yours all the better.</p>
<p>If you find a feed that you like that covers your information and keywords but also publishes a bunch of irrelevant information, here’s what you can do.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><em>Syndicate a category feed rather than the site’s main feed</em></span>. Many blogs, WordPress for example publish separate feeds for each category. But it’s not always easy to find the category feeds. In fact most bloggers probably don’t even know that their blog has category feeds.</p>
<p><strong><br />
Here&#8217;s how to find the category feeds in a WordPress blog:</strong></p>
<p>1) Find a list of categories in the blogs sidebar or under a blog post&#8217;s<br />
headline (each blog is different, and on some, you may have to look around a little to find the category listings).</p>
<p>2) Click on the desired category to go to the category page.</p>
<p>3) If the URL in your browser&#8217;s address bar looks like “http://example.com/<br />
blog/?cat=3”,  the address of the category RSS feed will look like<br />
“http://example.com/blog/?cat=3&amp;feed=rss2”  (just add “&amp;feed=rss2” to the end of the URL).</p>
<p>You can get the feed in Atom format by adding</p>
<p>“&amp;feed=atom” instead, like this: “http://example.com/blog/?cat=3&amp;feed=atom”.</p>
<p>4) If the category page URL looks like</p>
<p>“http://example.com/blog/category/seo/”,</p>
<p>then the RSS feed URL for the category is</p>
<p>“http://example.com/blog/category/seo/feed/”,</p>
<p>and the Atom feed URL is</p>
<p>“http://example.com/blog/category/seo/feed/atom/”.</p>

<h2><span style="color: #ff0000;">Visualize With Purpose, Increase Your Mental Strength</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;">A Warrior Mindset is The Key To Winning</span></h2>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-615" title="Arnold-Schwarzenegger-California" src="/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Arnold-Schwarzenegger-California-Bills-300x300.jpg" alt="Arnold-Schwarzenegger-California" width="300" height="300" /><strong>Governor of California and multimillionaire</strong>, successful real estate tycoon, movie star, body-builder and five-time winner of the Mr. Universe title, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has it made.</p>
<p>But it wasn&#8217;t always so. Arnold can remember when he had nothing except a belief that his mind was the key to where he wanted to go.</p>
<p>&#8220;When I was very young, I visualized myself being and having what it was I wanted. Mentally I never had any doubts about it. The mind is really so incredible.</p>
<p>Before I won my first Mr. Universe, I walked around the tournament like I owned it. The title was already mine. I had won it so many times in my mind that there was no doubt I would win it. Then, when I moved on to the movies, the same thing. I visualized myself being a successful actor and earning big money. I could feel and taste success. I just knew it would all happen.&#8221;</p>
<p>The technique Arnold is talking about, the technique that brought him so much success is called visualization. Visualization is using your imagination to see yourself in a situation that hasn&#8217;t yet happened, picturing yourself having or doing the thing you want, or successfully achieving the results you desire.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s say you want to be more confident. Using visualization you picture yourself working, talking to people, all with great confidence. You imagine yourself in situations that normally give you difficulty and you see yourself in these situations as confident, at ease, and performing well. You might picture your friends and associates complimenting you on your newfound confidence. You feel the pride and satisfaction of being a confident person and in your mind you enjoy the things that happen to you as a result of your confidence. You visualize everything that would or could happen to you and live as if it really is happening to you.</p>
<p>Any thought put into your mind and nourished regularly will produce results in your life. What is it that you want in your life? Better health? Then get health consciousness. Greater prosperity? Get prosperity consciousness. More spirituality? Get spirituality consciousness. Everything exists as a possibility. All that&#8217;s required is for you to feed in the necessary energy until your objective becomes your own.</p>
<p>How reassuring it is to think that no matter what a person&#8217;s past or present situation, no matter how many times he or she has previously failed, if that person would but regularly feed his or her consciousness, his or her situation would change! This remarkable ability has been given to each and every one of us to use or to ignore. It costs no money. It takes no special talent. It takes only the decision on your part to take the time and put forth the necessary effort to develop the appropriate consciousness. That&#8217;s all! Everything else will automatically fall into place.<img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-616" title="Arnold Schwarzenegger" src="/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/arnold-schwarzenegger-20060109-99173-300x300.jpg" alt="Arnold Schwarzenegger" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p><strong>The Subconscious</strong></p>
<p>In order to understand how the conscious and subconscious minds work together as a team to create your reality, let me again use an analogy. Your subconscious mind is like fertile soil that accepts any seed you plant within it. Your habitual thoughts and beliefs are the seeds which are being constantly sown within, and they produce in your life what is planted just as surely as corn kernels produce corn. You will reap what you sow. This is a law. The conscious mind is the gardener. It is our responsibility to be aware of and choose wisely what reaches the inner garden. But unfortunately for most of us our role as gardener has never been explained to us. And in misunderstanding our role, we have allowed seeds of all types, both good and bad, to enter our inner garden. The subconscious will not discriminate. It will manifest failure, ill health and misfortune just as easily as success and abundance. It works to reproduce in our life according to the seeds we have nurtured within. Your subconscious accepts what is impressed upon it with feeling and emotion whether these thoughts are positive or negative. It does not evaluate things like your conscious mind does, and it does not argue with you.</p>
<p>Once you grasp the fact that your subconscious will bring to you whatever you need, and you begin working, daily projecting the thoughts and images of what you want, seemingly chance and fortuitous events will begin to happen to you. Your powerful inner collaborator, working with your instructions, will bring to you the people and  circumstances you require to meet your goals. &#8220;A thousand unseen hands,&#8221; as Joseph Campbell describes them, will come to your aid. Synchronicity appears to the uninitiated to be coincidence or luck, but it is neither. It is simply the operation of natural laws which you have set in motion with your thoughts.</p>
<p>Modern physics now sees the universe as a vast, inseparable web of dynamic activity. Not only is the universe alive and constantly changing, but everything in the universe affects everything else. At its most primary level, the universe seems to be whole and undifferentiated, a fathomless sea of energy that permeates every object and every act. It is all one. In short, scientists are now confirming what mystics, seers and occultists have been telling us for thousands of years we are not separate but part of one giant whole.</p>
<p>We also now know that everything in the universe is made up of energy. The chair that you&#8217;re sitting on is comprised of energy. The walls of the room that you are now in, your computer, the events that happen to you are all made up of vibrations of energy. And our thoughts, too, are vibrations of energy. Our thoughts are of the same substance as the building blocks of the universe. Once we become aware of this remarkable fact, we can use it to our great advantage.</p>
<p>When, for example, you begin imprinting success upon your subconscious mind, it sets up a continuous vibration of energy that resonates upon the whole. The subconscious works day and night with this success vibration, attracting to you the people and circumstances necessary for your success. And remember that the subconscious will work equally hard to attract to you the circumstances necessary for your failure if that is how you habitually think.</p>
<p>We are fortunate that the laws of physical reality and the laws of the mind are now beginning to be understood. In years past, it might have seemed incredible that we could create our reality through this process, yet now, with these new insights, we understand how it works. Our thoughts being energy, it only makes sense that our repeated images, affirmations, visualizations, deeply held beliefs, fears and desires, vibrating within the larger web of reality, would have an affect upon that reality. In fact, when you stop and really think about it, since we are all connected, how could it be otherwise?</p>

<h2>Things to Know Before Installing  WordPress</h2>
<p>Before you begin the install, there are few things you need to have  and do.</p>
<p>You need access to your site and its directory and software to  proceed with the installation. These are:</p>
<ul>
<li> An access to your <a title="Glossary" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Glossary#Web_server">web  server</a> (via <a title="Glossary" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Glossary#Shell">shell</a> or <a title="Glossary" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Glossary#FTP">FTP</a>)</li>

<li> Your web browser of choice</li>
</ul>
<h3>Things You Need to Do to Install WordPress</h3>
<p>Begin your installation by:</p>
<ol>
<li> Checking to ensure that you and your web host have the <a title="http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/" href="http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/">minimum requirements to  run WordPress</a>.</li>
<li> <a title="http://wordpress.org/download/" href="http://wordpress.org/download/">Download</a> the latest release  of WordPress.</li>

</ol>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000;">Famous 5-Minute Install</span></h2>
<p>Here&#8217;s the quick version of the instructions, for those that are  already comfortable with performing such installations. More <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Detailed_Instructions">detailed instructions</a> follow.</p>
<ol>
<li> Download and unzip the WordPress package, if you haven&#8217;t  already.</li>
<li> Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as  a <a title="Glossary" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Glossary#MySQL">MySQL</a> user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.</li>
<li> Rename the <tt>wp-config-sample.php</tt> file to <tt>wp-config.php</tt>.</li>

<li> Place the WordPress files in the desired location on your web  server:
<ul>
<li> If you want to integrate WordPress into the root of your domain  (e.g. <tt>http://example.com/</tt>), move or upload all contents of the  unzipped WordPress directory (but excluding the directory itself) into  the root directory of your web server.</li>
<li> If you want to have your WordPress installation in its own  subdirectory on your web site (e.g. <tt>http://example.com/blog/</tt>),  rename the directory <tt>wordpress</tt> to the name you&#8217;d like the  subdirectory to have and move or upload it to your web server. For  example if you want the WordPress installation in a subdirectory called  &#8220;blog&#8221;, you should rename the directory called &#8220;wordpress&#8221; to &#8220;blog&#8221; and  upload it to the root directory of your web server.<strong>Hint</strong>:  If your FTP transfer is too slow read how to avoid FTPing at : <a title="http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Step_1:_Download_and_Extract" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Step_1:_Download_and_Extract">Step  1: Download and Extract</a>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> Run the WordPress installation script by accessing <tt>wp-admin/install.php</tt> in your favorite web browser.
<ul>
<li> If you installed WordPress in the root directory, you should  visit: <tt>http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php</tt></li>
<li> If you installed WordPress in its own subdirectory called <tt>blog</tt>,  for example, you should visit: <tt>http://example.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php</tt></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<p>That&#8217;s it! WordPress should now be installed.</p>

<h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Search Engine Marketing and PPC</strong></span></h2>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Another Form of SEM</span><br />
</strong></h2>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-411" title="PPC" src="http://rdshoop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/PPC-300x298.jpg" alt="PPC" width="300" height="298" /><strong>Pay-Per-Click advertising</strong> is another form of SEM. SEMPO defines Pay-Per-Click Advertising as a model of online advertising in which advertisers pay only for each click on their ads. These ads direct searchers to a specified landing page on the advertiser’s website.</p>
<p>Charges per click-through are based on advertiser bids in hybrid ad space auctions and are influenced by competitor bids, competition for keywords and search engines’ proprietary quality measure of advertiser ad and landing page content. (If that sounds confusing, just bear with me and it should start to make sense.)</p>
<p>While it’s not necessary to participate in PPC, it’s an affordable, easy-to-manage form of search engine marketing. Also known as paid search advertising, PPC account structure can be broken down in this way: Main Account, Campaign, Ad Group, Keyword, Text Ads. Within each account you may have several campaigns, and within a campaign you may have several ad groups, within each ad group, several keywords and so on. This SEM technique works like this:</p>
<p><strong>*Open an account with your selected search engine’s PPC program (AdWords for Google, Yahoo! Sponsored Search, Microsoft adCenter.)</strong></p>
<p><strong>*Build your account beginning with keyword research and round up related keywords together into keyword groups (or ad groups.)</strong></p>
<p><strong>*Bid upon particular keywords relevant to your website using the search engine’s keyword tool.</strong></p>
<p><strong>*Set targeting- Each search engine allows you to target by search or content.  Search targeting means your ads will only appear in the search results located on the engine’s homepage.</strong></p>
<p><strong>*Content targeting means your ads will show up in articles, blogs or other websites that contain the keyword you are targeting.</strong></p>
<p><strong>*Write relevant, keyword-rich text ads that center around your ad group- These ads are free until a searcher clicks on on Bids are entered into the search engine for your keyword, and the search engine displays your ads in their sponsored results section.</strong></p>
<p><strong>*Each time a visitor clicks on your ad within the search engine, you are charged by the search engine Your ad positioning within the search engine’s sponsored listings is determined by your bid price, the quality score of your ad and the performance of your ad relative to the performance of your competitors’ ads.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Pay-Per-Click ads</strong> allow advertisers to deliver targeted results within each of the search engines based upon the visitor’s search query.</p>
<p>SEMPO defines a search query as the word or phrase a person types into a search field, which initiates search engine results page (SERP) listings.</p>
<p>Utilizing advanced analytics and reporting with Google Analytics, Yahoo Web Analytics or other third party tracking software allows advertisers to understand the behavior of the visitor by analyzing the origin of the search and the patterns of activity on your website. Each search engine has a graphical user interface (GUI) where you can adjust your campaigns keywords, text ads, bids, scheduling and more.</p>
<p>You can choose to invest a small amount in PPC, which will enable you to test the keywords, ad text and conversion rates for your site before spending too much.</p>
<p>Pay-Per-Click is an essential advertising medium for most verticals, especially when selling products. Most businesses find that utilizing this form of SEM is essential to their marketing campaigns.</p>

<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000;">Understanding SEO Can Increase Your Rankings</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;">Doing Things Right Online Can Make a Big Difference</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-406" title="Searching" src="/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Searching.jpg" alt="Searching" width="450" height="405" /><br />
</span></p>
<p><strong>On-site SEO</strong> includes any changes you can apply <em>to </em>a website to increase its search engine friendliness. Some of these modifications include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Editing HTML titles, H1 tags, and content to include keywords that describe your product or service to the search engine and its visitors</li>
<li>Writing keyword-rich metadata to accurately reflect the content that is visible to the search engine and its visitors</li>
<li>Optimizing alt attribute tags for images to include keywords that describe your product or service</li>
<li>Creating .xml and .html Sitemaps- Sitemaps are created so that humans and search engines can navigate your website. An HTML Sitemap provides a map for your human visitors. An XML Sitemap provides a map for search engine robots or spiders to enhance the search engine’s ability to crawl and index your site</li>
<li>Changing hyperlinks to include quality anchor text- Anchor text is the words or phrases used to link to a page, and is a strong signal for search engines to determine a page’s relevance</li>
<li>Editing site architecture or internal linking structure to enhance usability for visitors that enter through search engines</li>
<li>Delete duplicate content and check for broken links/page errors- Duplicate content and crawling errors can affect your ability to rank well in search engines</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Off-site SEO</strong> includes activities <em>outside of</em> what occurs on your site to help boost your search engine rankings. These techniques typically take time and effort, and off-site SEO is an ongoing process. Some of these search engine marketing activities include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Submitting your site/RSS Feed to relevant free and paid directories</li>
<li>Soliciting links from related sites</li>
<li>Social bookmarking</li>
<li>Article and Press Release marketing</li>
<li>Promoting through social networks</li>
<li>Being an active forum member</li>
</ul>
<p>One of the most important search engine marketing activities you will perform is link building, or building link popularity. When all of the top sites are properly optimized, how does a search engine ‘rank’ them? Essentially, links are the “currency” of the web. Each link acts as a ‘vote’ for a site, as far as the search engine sees it. Now, it should be said right away that more links doesn’t necessarily equal better ranking. The reigning cliché here is “quality over quantity.”</p>
<p>You may hear a lot when it comes to search engine marketing and link building, but always remember that it takes time. Some things to aim for when building link popularity for <a href="http://rdshoop.com/sem/">SEM</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>High PageRank</li>
<li>Sites/pages that are extremely relevant to your website or the page being linked to</li>
<li>Quality anchor text that is relevant and/or contains keywords</li>
<li>Few other links</li>
</ul>
<p>With this ‘voting’ system, there are plenty of ways to campaign for a vote, and you won’t always have control over the sites that link to you, the anchor text used or where your link is placed. The best links reside on high PageRank sites and are surrounded by relevant content, have few links on the page and use relevant anchor text. Each search engine counts these ‘votes’ differently, and therefore, your ranking might never be the same from one search engine to another.</p>
<p>Votes aren’t all alike, either. A link can have more value depending on the PageRank of a site, the number of links on that page, and whether or not the content is related. A link from IBM.com or Amazon.com will carry much more weight than unknown sites. 1 link among 5 will carry more weight than 1 link among 100. A link to a ‘save the turtles’ site from a blog post about the turtle life cycle will give more weight than the same link from a ‘going green’ blog post.</p>
<p>What you should learn about link popularity in respect to search engine marketing is that more, higher quality links will begin to raise your clout in the SERPs; thus giving you more exposure, higher traffic, more leads and more sales!</p>
<p>All of these SEO techniques, when combined, should effectively boost your website’s rankings in search engines. Although you won’t wake up a day later to own the number one spot in Bing, <a href="http://rdshoop.com/google/">Google</a> and Yahoo, you should see a steady rise as long as you keep on top of these search engine marketing activities. One thing to ultimately remember, though, is that pleasing the search engines is about pleasing the people. If you overdo it, your site may read like a technical volume written by a monkey. Search engines praise sites that make it easy for people to read and use.</p>

</span></h2>
<p><img src="http://www.jerryrlucado.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/bigstockphoto_Too_Much_Work_1277524.jpg" border="0" alt="smarter-than-google" width="190" height="190" align="right" /></p>
<p style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12;">In today’s world of internet marketing, there are entire tribes who believe they are smarter than Google.  They are perceived to be <a href="http://www.jerryrlucado.com/personal-development/internet-business-gurus/" target="_blank">Gurus, coaches, and the gifted ones.</a> They constantly craft, devise and deploy methods to circumvent the “Google Rules”.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue;"> Are These Young Punks Smarter Than Google?</span></h2>
<p style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12;">It is so unrealistic to think you can effectively fool Google.  Sure you might utilize deceptive marketing practices for a while, but Google will eventually uncover your dishonesty and slap you as they have warned.  New FTC rules are supported by Google and trying to deceive these two giants is futile.  From the beginning, Google’s motto has been, “<strong>Do No Evil</strong>”.  So accept that and do no evil yourself.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12;">I mean, after all, we are talking about the largest Internet <a href="http://rdshoop.com/sem/">search engine</a>, with robots crawling on the World Wide Web, looking for your content.  You cannot hide.  You are smaller than a flea on a dog’s back and you are not smarter than Google.  So why try to be a giant killer when Google really wants you to succeed?</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12;">Your Internet audience is more intelligent than you give them credit for anyway.  There is so much hype about making money online.  Is any of it true?  I can tell you it is possible, but it is not that easy.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue;">Be Smart With Google</span></h3>
<p style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12;">If you want to be successful online and be someone who is followed, you must separate the facts from the fiction.  You must offer real value.  You must build trust before people will believe in you.  And you must abide by the rules.</p>
<p style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 12;">The smart approach is to follow the rules and work with Google. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em> Don&#8217;t try to be smarter than Google</em></span>.  Google has so many tools designed to help you. Simple searches are only the tip of the iceberg.  Visit Google’s Webmaster Tools and educate yourself.  Google is there to help you.</p>

<h2><span style="color: #ff0000;">Are You Looking To Change Your Life?</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;">Discover Your Authentic Self</span></h2>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-318" title="IMPOSTER by BKHook" src="http://rdshoop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/file_1737921-300x300.jpg" alt="IMPOSTER by BKHook" width="300" height="300" /><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>If you want to make changes in your life</strong></span>, you must look to the cause, and the cause is the way you are using the conscious mind.  The way you are thinking. You can&#8217;t think both negative and positive thoughts at the same time. One or the other must dominate. The mind is a creature of habit, so it becomes your responsibility to make sure that positive emotions and thoughts constitute the dominating influence in your mind.</p>
<p>In order to change external conditions, you must first change the internal. Most people try to change external conditions by working directly on those conditions. This always proves futile, or at best temporary, unless it is accompanied by a change of thoughts and beliefs.</p>
<p>Awakening to this truth, the way to a better, more successful life becomes crystal clear. Train your conscious mind to think thoughts of success, happiness, health, prosperity, and to weed out fear and worry. Keep your conscious mind busy with the expectation of the best, and make sure the thoughts you habitually think are based upon what you want to see happen in your life.</p>
<p>Water takes the shape of whatever container holds it, whether it is in a glass, a vase or a river bank. Likewise, your subconscious will create and manifest according to the images you habitually project upon it through your daily thinking. This is how your destiny is created. Your life is in your hands, to make of it what you choose from.</p>
<p>One of the #1 strengths a good business person can have is a Warrior Mindset. Read Further on my <a href="../wordpress/">WordPress</a> Blog and see if you agree.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Authentic Self</strong></span><br />
Any child recognizes their power to create. Most even realize the power to mold their own destinies. Children know when they&#8217;ve done something &#8220;wrong&#8221;, even when they&#8217;re<br />
doing it in most cases. They also know the &#8220;destiny&#8221; that awaits them in the form of dad coming home from work! Perhaps they do not know the particulars, but they get the basic idea.</p>
<p>Somewhere along the way, someone or something talked most of us out of the idea that we have anything to do with our destiny, let alone that we can manifest our moments, literally creating our destiny by existing fully within the moments we are given and making the most out of them.</p>
<p>To some, this sounds as if one is trying to play God, but this is not true. Instead, I believe that we are called by existence itself to manage our lives and our destiny through the application of powerful, truthful thinking that inspires consistent, Core-motivated action.</p>
<p>That was a long sentence, but an important one. Let&#8217;s break it down. The Warrior Mindset is founded on several principles including a person’s core ethics. This applies to your body, mind, relationships, you name it.<br />
<strong>Core ethics is a combination of three crucial and universal truths:</strong><br />
1. Truth<br />
2. Responsibility<br />
3. Abundance<br />
More specifically, truthful thinking, strict responsibility, and flowing abundance. These are the key distinctions.</p>
<p>First, by thinking truthfully <em>as opposed to &#8220;positively&#8221; or &#8220;irrationally&#8221;</em>, one can see that words become our world. James Allen took a passage from the Bible to clarify this in his book, &#8220;As A Man Thinketh.&#8221; What we think produces a conversation with our self &#8212; the most important of all conversations, as it&#8217;s by far the longest. This produces the words we say to ourselves and to others. These words are either based in truth or based in fiction.</p>
<p>Saying, <em>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to die if I don&#8217;t get some ice cream&#8221;</em> is, of course, fiction. Yet most people use this type of language all the time. The opposite is the<em> &#8220;positive thinking&#8221;</em> camp. The ones who look in the mirror and say, <em>&#8220;I&#8217;m fit, and I&#8217;m beautiful!&#8221; </em>When they&#8217;re not.</p>
<p>The alternative, and the way to begin manifesting your destiny in the moment, rather than in some far away, mystical &#8220;someday&#8221;, is to say this:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;I am in the process of learning what I need to know in order to become more fit, healthy and attractive every day of my life.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>This is not a false statement if you are so much as reading this!</p>
<p>Remember this scientific fact: any form of energy that is non-truth creates dissonance, and dissonance remodels cellular structure. That sounds kinda complex, but all I&#8217;m saying is this: You lie, you die….Really.</p>
<p>Photographs of water prove this point. Saying things that are not true to the speaker changes the structure of water molecules. Speaking words of hate do the same. You are programmed to live in harmony with yourself, and the language we use on a daily basis is often the opposite of harmony. It is the creation of dissonance. And we wonder why we have all this mental and physical disease in our world!</p>
<p>Your very cells scream out, <em>&#8220;Take responsibility!&#8221;</em> Speak in truth, both out loud and to yourself, and watch what happens.</p>
<p>This level of accountability to yourself will produce flowing abundance, or wealth in every area of your life that flows outward rather than remains bottled up inside of you.<em> &#8220;Canning abundance&#8221;</em> as I call it is a sure-fire way to total overwhelming abundance in life. You must share it, and by doing so, you reap more.</p>
<p>Manifest your moments; moments that add up to the time of your life.</p>

<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000;">Provide Users With The Most Relevant Results</span></h2>
<h2>Webmasters Do Have Influence</h2>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-286" title="google" src="/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/google-48x48.png" alt="google" width="48" height="48" />Google&#8217;s goal</strong> is to provide users with the best and most relevant results for their query. While your search is completely algorithmic and automated, webmasters do have quite a lot of influence over how their site is listed. However, Google does not guarantee whether or how any site will appear in our search results. A good understanding or search results is important in most <a href="http://rdshoop.com/sem/">SEM</a> projects.</p>
<p>The first line of any search result is the title of the web page. This text is generally taken from the contents of the  tag for that page (which is also the text that appears in the title bar of your browser. Occasionally (generally when the title tag is not meaningful or the page is not crawlable) Google will pull the title from the anchor text of a link to that page, or from the Open Directory Project (www.dmoz.org).</p>
<p><strong>Your page title</strong> gives Google additional information about the content of the page. Relevant, useful titles also help users decide which site to click in the results page.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-279" title="title" src="/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/title.jpg" alt="title" width="555" height="72" /></p>
<p><strong>A description</strong> of the content of the page. Google automatically attempts to extract the part of the page that&#8217;s most relevant to the user query. The snippet can be taken from a number of sources. Body text. DMOZ if we can&#8217;t find anything else. We pick the best information we can find for the user query, and search terms are highlighted in bold. Good meta descriptions make users more likely to click on your page in search results.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-281" title="discription" src="/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/discription.jpg" alt="discription" width="569" height="74" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Watch a video on how Google displays search results. </strong></span></p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="350" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vS1Mw1Adrk0&amp;feature" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vS1Mw1Adrk0&amp;feature"></embed></object></p>
<p><strong>Review information</strong></p>
<p>Some sites, especially large-scale review sites, use RDFa or microformats to identify structured information—such as reviews, product data, or contact information—in their content. Where available, Google may add this information to a search result listing. This can be very helpful to users.</p>
<p><img title="reviews" src="/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/reviews.jpg" alt="reviews" width="583" height="109" /></p>
<p><strong>URL structure</strong></p>
<p>The URL of your page. URLs that are intelligible to humans can encourage users to click on your site&#8217;s listing.</p>
<p>A site&#8217;s URL structure should be as simple as possible. Consider organizing your content so that URLs are constructed logically and in a manner that is most intelligible to humans (when possible, readable words rather than long ID numbers). For example, if you&#8217;re searching for information about aviation, a URL like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation will help you decide whether to click that link. A URL like http://www.example.com/index.php?id_sezione=360&amp;sid=3a5ebc944f41daa6f849f730f1, is much less appealing to users.</p>
<p>Consider using punctuation in your URLs. The URL <strong>http://www.example.com/green-dress.html</strong> is much more useful to us than <strong>http://www.example.com/greendress.html</strong>. We recommend that you use hyphens (-) instead of underscores (_) in your URLs.</p>
<p>Overly complex URLs, especially those containing multiple parameters, can cause a problems for crawlers by creating unnecessarily high numbers of URLs that point to identical or similar content on your site. As a result, Googlebot may consume much more bandwidth than necessary, or may be unable to completely index all the content on your site.</p>
<div id="attachment_282" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 578px"><img class="size-full wp-image-282" title="url" src="http://rdshoop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/url.jpg" alt="" width="568" height="65" /><p class="wp-caption-text">url</p></div>
<p><strong>Cached</strong></p>
<p>Google links to the current version of a page, and also stores a copy of a recent version of that page so you can see what it looked like recently, or view the stored copy if the current page is not available. You can also view a text-only version of your cached page. Because search engines crawl mainly text, this is a great way to see how your page appears to <a href="http://rdshoop.com/google/">Google.</a> (For example, if important content isn&#8217;t visible in the text-only version of the page, it may be because it&#8217;s embedded in an image or otherwise unavailable to search engines.)</p>
<div id="attachment_283" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 573px"><img class="size-full wp-image-283 " title="cached" src="http://rdshoop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/cached.jpg" alt="" width="563" height="73" /><p class="wp-caption-text">cached</p></div>

<h2><span style="color: #ff0000;">Give A Close Look At Your Thoughts</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;">Examine Your Feelings</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-248" title="The Unspoken by BKHook" src="http://rdshoop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/file_1430512-300x300.jpg" alt="Meditation" width="300" height="300" />Thoughts</strong></span> – You have thousands of them in a day. In your journey for truth it will be more productive to understand that there are no “good” or “bad” thoughts, only thoughts that are empowering or dis-empowering. Depending on your goals and desired outcomes, your thoughts will either be supportive or non-supportive.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Feelings</span> </strong>– Once you are conscious of your thoughts and their qualities you’ll then be able to access the unique feelings and sensations associated with them. These “gut feelings” are many times mislabeled, misidentified or simply dismissed. Once awareness is developed about your feelings, the connection with Action is easily related.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Action</span></strong> – A persons actions (or lack of) are fueled by their Feelings. You can be inspired to take action, afraid to take action or indifferent in taking action. But notice how there is a specific Feeling associated with each action. It is the Action that will create your results.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Results</strong></span> – This is where it all comes together…this is the reality YOU created. Funny thing about reality&#8230;to the untrained observer it appears that reality creates the feelings and then the thoughts follow. You need to take control of your thoughts…then your desired results will automatically follow. Thoughts and feelings are invisible, part of your “inner-world.” Your results are visible, part of your “outer-world.” Your action is the bridge between the two worlds.</p>
<p><strong>It can often be tricky</strong> getting to a belief directly. But through curious and direct questioning about your results, you can start investigating the thoughts around those results. This investigation of the thoughts will gently unfold the beliefs that support them, thus allowing you to determine if this belief is supportive or not.</p>
<p>In some situations we may also reverse the formula. If you know what results you want, we can then determine the actions to get you there. After identifying the actions, you’ll investigate the feelings behind the actions and uncover the thoughts around those feelings. Then, once the thoughts are exposed and examined the core belief will be revealed. If this belief is supportive or it it&#8217;s non-supportive. You’ll then be able to understand and achieving your desired outcome. A true Warrior Mindset requires you examine your thoughts and feelings.</p>
<p>One of the #1 strengths a good business person can have is a Warrior Mindset. Read Further on my <a href="../wordpress/">WordPress</a> Blog and see if you agree.</p>

<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-227" title="Google Girl" src="http://rdshoop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/google_girl-300x300.jpg" alt="Google Girl" width="300" height="300" /><strong>Following these guidelines </strong>will help Google find, index, and rank your site. And is another important aspect to <a href="http://rdshoop.com/sem/">SEM</a> that should be understood.</p>
<p>Even if you choose not to implement any of these suggestions, I strongly encourage you to pay very close attention to the &#8220;Quality Guidelines,&#8221; which outline some of the illicit practices that may lead to a site being removed entirely from the Google index or otherwise penalized. If a site has been penalized, it may no longer show up in results on Google.com or on any of Google&#8217;s partner sites.</p>
<p><strong>When your site is ready:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Submit it to Google at</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>http://www.google.com/addurl.html.</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Submit a Sitemap</strong> using Google Webmaster Tools. Google uses your Sitemap to learn about the structure of your site and to increase our coverage of your webpages.</p>
<p>Make sure all the sites that should know about your pages are aware your site is online. Watch the video below by Google on <strong>Discoverability </strong></p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="350" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Gl3fyqJ6whY" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Gl3fyqJ6whY"></embed></object></p>
<p>Making your site accessible is very import, next watch this video below by Google on <strong>Crawling</strong></p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="350" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GEbS0a2JcAo" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GEbS0a2JcAo"></embed></object></p>
<p><strong>Design &amp; Content Guidelines</strong></p>
<p>Make a site with a clear hierarchy and text links. Every page should be reachable from at least one static text link.</p>
<p>Offer a site map to your users with links that point to the important parts of your site. If the site map is larger than 100 or so links, you may want to break the site map into separate pages.</p>
<p>Create a useful, information-rich site, and write pages that clearly and accurately describe your content.</p>
<p>Think about the words users would type to find your pages, and make sure that your site actually includes those words within it.</p>
<p>Try to use text instead of images to display important names, content, or links. The <a href="http://rdshoop.com/google/">Google</a> crawler doesn&#8217;t recognize text contained in images. If you must use images for textual content, consider using the &#8220;ALT&#8221; attribute to include a few words of descriptive text.</p>
<p>Make sure that your  elements and ALT attributes are descriptive and accurate.</p>
<p>Check for broken links and correct HTML.</p>
<p>If you decide to use dynamic pages (i.e., the URL contains a &#8220;?&#8221; character), be aware that not every search engine spider crawls dynamic pages as well as static pages. It helps to keep the parameters short and the number of them few.</p>
<p>Keep the links on a given page to a reasonable number (fewer than 100).</p>
<p>Review our image guidelines for best practices on publishing images.</p>
<p><strong>Technical guidelines</strong></p>
<p>Use a text browser such as Lynx to examine your site, because most search engine spiders see your site much as Lynx would. If fancy features such as JavaScript, cookies, session IDs, frames, DHTML, or Flash keep you from seeing all of your site in a text browser, then search engine spiders may have trouble crawling your site.</p>
<p>Allow search bots to crawl your sites without session IDs or arguments that track their path through the site. These techniques are useful for tracking individual user behavior, but the access pattern of bots is entirely different. Using these techniques may result in incomplete indexing of your site, as bots may not be able to eliminate URLs that look different but actually point to the same page.</p>
<p>Make sure your web server supports the If-Modified-Since HTTP header. This feature allows your web server to tell Google whether your content has changed since we last crawled your site. Supporting this feature saves you bandwidth and overhead.</p>
<p>Make use of the robots.txt file on your web server. This file tells crawlers which directories can or cannot be crawled. Make sure it&#8217;s current for your site so that you don&#8217;t accidentally block the Googlebot crawler. Visit http://www.robotstxt.org/faq.html to learn how to instruct robots when they visit your site. You can test your robots.txt file to make sure you&#8217;re using it correctly with the robots.txt analysis tool available in Google Webmaster Tools.</p>
<p>If your company buys a content management system, make sure that the system creates pages and links that search engines can crawl.</p>
<p>Use robots.txt to prevent crawling of search results pages or other auto-generated pages that don&#8217;t add much value for users coming from search engines.</p>
<p>Test your site to make sure that it appears correctly in different browsers.</p>
<p><strong>Quality Guidelines</strong></p>
<p>These quality guidelines cover the most common forms of deceptive or manipulative behavior, but <a href="http://rdshoop.com/google/">Google</a> may respond negatively to other misleading practices not listed here (e.g. tricking users by registering misspellings of well-known websites). It&#8217;s not safe to assume that just because a specific deceptive technique isn&#8217;t included on this page, Google approves of it. Webmasters who spend their energies upholding the spirit of the basic principles will provide a much better user experience and subsequently enjoy better ranking than those who spend their time looking for loopholes they can exploit.</p>
<p>If you believe that another site is abusing Google&#8217;s quality guidelines, please report that site at https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/spamreport. Google prefers developing scalable and automated solutions to problems, so we attempt to minimize hand-to-hand spam fighting. The spam reports we receive are used to create scalable algorithms that recognize and block future spam attempts.</p>
<p><strong>Quality Guidelines &#8211; basic principles</strong></p>
<p>Make pages primarily for users, not for search engines. Don&#8217;t deceive your users or present different content to search engines than you display to users, which is commonly referred to as &#8220;cloaking.&#8221;</p>
<p>Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings. A good rule of thumb is whether you&#8217;d feel comfortable explaining what you&#8217;ve done to a website that competes with you. Another useful test is to ask, &#8220;Does this help my users? Would I do this if search engines didn&#8217;t exist?&#8221;</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t participate in link schemes designed to increase your site&#8217;s ranking or PageRank. In particular, avoid links to web spammers or &#8220;bad neighborhoods&#8221; on the web, as your own ranking may be affected adversely by those links.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t use unauthorized computer programs to submit pages, check rankings, etc. Such programs consume computing resources and violate our Terms of Service. Google does not recommend the use of products such as WebPosition Gold™ that send automatic or programmatic queries to Google.</p>
<p>Ranking<strong> </strong>is something every webmaster is very interested in. Watch this video below by Google on <strong>Ranking</strong>.</p>
