It is not quite as scary as many of us thought and for the most part will have little to do with SEO, nor will it change the way that web site optimization is performed.  Now, unless things change that is, we only have the facts provided in the video below for right now.  Many think that the way Google is gathering information is part of a bigger conspiracy, but we are going to take it for face value until we hear otherwise.

The video we found is created by Google so you know that the information is straight from the horses mouth on this one.

Leave any comments and questions you have about the google social search feature below and leave a link to your Google profile too if you want others to find you!

Looking forward to all the other new cool stuff from Google,

The tool that we are talking about has been released recently by seomoz, now there is a paid version of the tool that is provided by the named company, but this tool is fully functional and free to use as it is. The tool allows you to do a couple things that are very useful as far as seo goes. You can check a few different back link counts on various search engines, you can see an overall authority presence on your selected keyword terms and you can even check out your competition.

This is one of those tools that is as relevant for search engine optimization experts as it is for the newbie to the industry!

So if you are looking for the next search engine optimization tool to give your the upper hand on your competition this tool may be just what you were looking for!

Here is a direct link to the Open Site Explorer seo tool.

Take a look at it and let me know what you think in the comments section below.

If you are not a paid member you can only run it 3 times a day, so make sure to get a good screen print and you will get plenty of bang for your buck out of this one, well really its free so maybe not for your buck, but seo experts are going to love this one!

Yep, you have heard about it, you have read about it and rather you like it or not, the Google real time search is live!  This is one of the many changes that google has been going through for some time now and don’t worry there are many more to come.  The full roll-out of the Google Caffeine Engine is still mid-swing and will not be totally complete until  after the first the year.

The newest addition to Gooles standard search is a “real time” search of the most popular social networks on the web.  The new “by the second” search will include results from Facebook, Twitter and Myspace. It is rumored that Google has struck a formal deal with all the companies we just listed, so this means that there is some money getting thrown around.  I for one think it is about time Twitter found a way to make a dollar, but at the same time I am not so sure how I feel about the twitter results showing in Google.

As the emensely popular google search continues to evolve, there are many new things for webmasters to take into consideration when they are working on their sites search engine standings.  How this addition will effect your sites standings is still to be determined and may not really become a factor, besides these “real time” results may bump all results down a small way on the page.

The main concern that this new section on the SERP (Search Engine Results Pages) is that by showing constantly updated results from all these sites, it may be in effect rewarding those who are constantly spamming these same social networks.  I am sure that Google has something in mind to fix this issue, but for the time being, don’t be surprised, if you start seeing a million tweets of the same content while people try to sneak there way onto the first page of google!

Keyword research has many different facets and a lot of the time people become confused when trying to pickup many common keyword selection techniques. The image above is a great example of a key concept about choosing different “types” of keywords.

As you can see there are certain types of keywords that will produce instant or immediate results in some cases. There is nothing wrong with keywords like these because everybody wants traffic “now.” On the flip side, as you are building a site up and trying to build long term viewership and readership to a blog or website, you many also want to focus on some of the keywords that will continue to convert even down the road a few months or years.

Many times people get caught up in immediate results or instant gratification, when in all actuality most people are truly looking for long term results, especially when it comes to the game we call SEO.

We hope you enjoyed this image, it is shared from flicker, so make sure to go there and rate the image if you found it useful.

Many web site owners will pay good money for others to write a press release about there new product or service and then they will submit the press release to top Press Release distribution sites.   This is a great service, can really help give any web site a boost in traffic and conversions and really is worth every cent that they cost.  Most sites that have a good reputation for this start around $80.00 so they don’t come cheap!

So What Are Press Releases?

Well, a press release online is much like one that is let out on radio, television or any where else.  When you have a press release done correctly, you have a professional copywriter make your press release, he or she will take time, much like an seo expert, to make sure the ad copy speaks to the demographic you are targeting and that your juicy keywords are all in there too.  Then this will be submitted to press release directories, much like article directories most of the time you get one back link for each submission.

If you have any luck at all, other websites will see this and help spread the word even more!

The concept is to grow back links, brand awareness and hopefully drive much web site traffic back to your main website in doing so.

So How Do I Get A Free Press Release?

There are many sites that will offer this service for absolutely free.  Some of these sites are new and some simply make money other ways and the service is the draw for new members and viewers.  Either way, view seo is proud to present the list of our top 3 Free Press Release Websites to it’s readers, just bellow!  Please take your time creating your own press release to assure the highest quality and most return from you effort and enjoy!

Well we have to start somewhere and we think that taking the time to define your business/website/goals is the only place to focus until we can answer some simple questions to give us more direction.

If you already have a website up and running and you don’t know what it does, what it offers, or what the purpose of the site is when a new visitor comes to it, the odds are the new visitor does not either.

So clearly stating your goals, services or simply what you plan on a visitor doing on the site is not only important on the site itself, but it is important to know this, so you can better market and promote your site correctly as well. We suggest sitting down with a piece of paper and pen to write out what your website offers others, every website should have a defined purpose and goal.

If you do not have a website yet, maybe you should start with what you think you would like your website to offer the visitors that come to it. Maybe the purpose is to teach people how to market there website better, that is our goal of course. You may want to show dog owners better ways to train their dogs, or help people get out of dept.

These are some examples of a purpose driven site, without a purpose there is no way to focus on serving your customers better, so you must make this “Mission Statement” right off the bat, so you know how to proceed to successfully develop and market your website.

At this point it is also a good idea to walk through the same steps you plan on your visitors taking as they visit your website. If you have a sales page, Is it easy to buy? If you have a email list, Is it easy to sign up? If you have a ebook product that is free to download, is it simple to find?

These are the questions that many times lead to website re-design, you must see the path of a visitors clicks and make sure that you make the process of getting from your homepage to where ever you want your targeted visitor to end up, is an easy one to follow or simply put, You Will Lose People!

So your homework for the night is defining who you are as a “Website” and as a “Business”. If you can get this down on paper tonight, you will be ready to pick up tomorrow with the next lesson, “Finding Your Niche”.
