So what DOES SEO stand for anyway? 5 years ago I’d EASILY tell you it stands for Search Engine Optimization… but not any more… SEO NOW stands for internet marketing strategist as there is just WAY MORE going on now than 5 years ago. Google Search is constantly adding (and subtracting) new stuff, Facebook is now uber-important, and Google Plus is on the way. The below linked is a great article attesting to my feelings on this very topic.

I totally agree with Joe Laratro here! Having a website is not enough. Having a plan and working it consistently (daily!) is the REAL plan for SEO! A website has to be able to ALLOW for this to happen easily however… These recommendations are good, smart and solid for SEO.

What are 3 things marketers can do RIGHT now to improve their organic rankings?

Have a solid technical infrastructure that is search friendly

Have an ongoing content development plan to add new and useful content to the Web site

At last, FLASH is now visible to the all powerful Google. Been looking at this for a few months with some oddities appearing at the top of search that were flash files, now if only people with flash based sites would actually ADD more content then they might be in luck. There are many more little issues regarding this that a Flash programmer would want to know about. But, as you all know, I am NOT a FLASH person anyway, so it is not a big deal to me, but now I can at least instruct others on how to SEO their FLASH programming

“Is Content Still King?”

Google, the world’s wealthiest media company puts a great deal of importance on webpage content. The importance of good content is one of the keys to page ranking. Updating your content once a week or once a month is important to keep the page fresh. The more a search engine detects change in your website, the more it will consider it relevant and important hence, it will help the page to go up in the rankings. Spelling and grammar are also very important. With spell check andgrammar check available in the most basic systems there is really noexcuse for a poorly structured page. I can’t tell you how many times I have read articles, adds and webpage content with bad spelling and poor grammar that just puts me off. Regardless of how good the information is, if it is flawed by mistakes, it loses credibility. Paragraphs must be primarily brief meaning, 1 to 4 sentences. If areader sees along paragraph, they may be deterred from reading it.Lists with bullets or numbered can form a large part of the text. Sentence length should be kept to 10 or fewer words and medium to longsentences, if used, should be spread throughout the text. Buzz words ortechnical terms, although they may make you feel superior to your reader, may confuse and discourage the reader from reading on. Remember, you should write your content as if you were writing for a ten year old. Most important of all, contextual relevance must include your keywords as well as variations of them. Don’t ever lose sight of the quality of the content. This will keep your visitors coming back.
