Seo writing and Importance of anchor text in obtaining link juice
While obtaining blog reviews, it is essential that you specify the keywords that need to be linked to the URL of your choice in other words get a crisp piece of SEO content to promote your products and services. In case you are focusing on the key phrase gift baskets for sports, using the exact phrase to link the web page will place your website on top positions in search engines when there is a search for the term.
There are many advantages in using the specific keyword as anchor text. For this discussion, I would like to take up the ShopWiki a revolutionary website for online shopping site for various products including sports gear. In fact it is similar to the popular search engine Google when it comes to finding the presenting online stores in the internet. To increase the SERP of a page that deals with sports for kids, the anchor text should also contain exactly the same key phrase to provide full link juice.
While the above mentioned keywords and phrases are generic and have relatively low searches, they have good KEI. It means, for searches done using the above keywords and phrases, your website will rank high in search engines even with limited backlinks. The key phrase ‘inline speed skates’ on the contrary has some competition but the number of searches is also relatively high and optimizing for this keyword is the wise thing to do. It will give you higher search engine rank as well as drive potential customers to your website. When it comes to optimizing your web pages for highly competitive keywords like the golf or tennis, care should be taken that the keyword is present in the title of the website, and that it comes as a part of the URL as well as has a good number of backlinks with exactly the same keywords.
When there is a heavy competition for the keyword, it takes a lot of time, money, and energy to make it obtain desired position in search engines. But well researched keywords with good KEI can naturally rank for searches with a limited promotion campaign. Doing so greatly reduces cost and energy and brings in targeted traffic to your website. This is the secret that SEO writers adopt to be successful.

The Role of Blog Reviews in SEO and Website Promotion
When it comes to promoting your website through articles, you have a number of ways to do so. Article submission being the most exploited one certainly pays off for your efforts. However, in this article, I would like to brief on blog reviews as one of the most effective SEO strategies that can give the never before impetus to your website. ‘Content is the King’ is a common slogan among search engine optimization professionals. It is true that optimizing textual content is the only way for websites to be found among the millions.
Blog reviews are a kind of article marketing. Blog reviews usually review a product or a website in positive light. You can find a slight marketing tone in the blog post of paid blog reviews. The truth is blog reviews are worth the money you pay because it not only escalates the image of your products and services to its visitors but also provides you with valuable and permanent backlinks, which other wise is impossible to get. There are websites that sell textual links but doing this will be viewed seriously by Google!
Whereas blog reviews provide the full link juice using keyword as anchor text in a very natural way making it the most efficient way of article marketing and web promotion. What are you waiting for? Get your products and services reviewed by SEO writers and reap the harvest doubly.

Article Marketing Is the Trump Card in today’s SEO
In today’s internet marketing both onpage and offpage seo are vital to obtain huge targeted traffic to your website. Unique and relevant articles are the most valuable tools that could enrich your website as well as bring in good number of visitors. This process is known as article marketing and articles used for the purpose is termed as marketing articles. Marketing articles are also the best means of obtaining quality backlinks to your website. Expert SEO professionals know that an anchor text link with a relevant keyword in marketing article is more valuable than the links provided at the footer or at the side bars. Even in article directories the one has to place in-content links in order to obtain the complete juice of the backlink. Placing your links at the resource box do have their value however, are not as valuable as in-content links in the sight of search engines.
There are a few things to note while using marketing articles as a tool to generate traffic to your website. The first and foremost point is that the marketing article should be unique. Unique refers to both semantics and ideas. Although it is not always possible to generate new ideas, expressing the same points in a different style would certainly help because search engines do not actually understand what the central theme of the article is. Search engines are capable of only comparing words and phrases to declare contents as unique or fresh. This weakness of the search engines can be manipulated to attain high ranks in search engines with a different set of semantics for the same theme.
Google especially loves fresh content and gives importance to original and unique contents with proper keyword density. This is why the phrase content is king rules the web world. When it comes to article submissions, it is not unusual for the webmasters to submit a single marketing article to hundreds of websites to obtain backlinks from the resource box. However, they little realize that the value of these links can be drastically improved with a slight change in vocabulary. The sad truth is most webmasters that are SEO experts do not have great language skills and for the fear of messing up things, submit the same article to various article directories making it a duplicate content in the eyes of search engines and greatly reducing the value of article submissions.
Yep, it is indeed a tedious work to make the articles at least 30% unique for every submission but it certainly pays off.

Important Facts about PageRank
Do not feel bad as it is apparent that globally the web has had a drop in PageRank. Now PageRank isn’t as important as it used to be, incredible? This article is intended to be an eye opener for many who experienced a drop in PageRank.
There has been a general drop in the PR status of websites globally, and this essentially doesn’t mean that the quality of the website or the search engine ranking or the traffic it drives have come down. In fact, there has been a great change in the way search engines rank a site. The importance of PR in search engine algorithms have been greatly reduced, while other metrics of the website are aggregated and given equal importance to get the required search engine ranking.
A decade ago PR was the most important metric to many webmasters. They used to wait for the monthly Google PR updates any small increase in the little green bar could enthuse the whole team, while a drop in PR seemed to doom their world. Now Google has changed the trends by reducing the importance of PR in the ranking algorithm.
This fact becomes obvious as the monthly updates were changed to irregular quarterly updates of PR by the Google. Now the webmasters have started to rely on other metrics for search engine ranking and traffic that promote sales, which is the bottom line. Placing undue importance on PR even after the most desired change prevails among most website owners.
Google still takes into account the value of relevant links in its algorithm. However, the Google PageRank value (between 0–10) displayed in the Google toolbar is not the one used by Google internally for ranking purposes. It means that a page where the toolbar shows ‘0’ as PageRank might really have internally a much higher PageRank, such as 3 or 4.

Australian English versus American English
I have been writing articles for both US and UK clients quite for a long time. Today one of my new customers asked me if I can write in Australian English. I was surprised to learn that there is a term called Australian English. I agreed to do the job for him and went on to research what this Australian English is all about.
As an Article writer you might have known the existence of British and American writing styles. Have you ever heard of Australian English? To my surprise there weren’t much explanation in the internet about the Australian English. However, I was able to browse through a few websites that provided me with a clue about Australian English.
At this juncture I would like to remind you that Australia too was under the British Empire. This gives you the clue that the so called Australian English is much closer to the British English. I found out that certain spellings and sentence structures and grammar were just like that of the British English. I am also in the process of creating a detailed article with examples of contemporary Australian English.
However, in my opinion, if you target global audience then the American is by far the best language suitable for websites. I will be posting the new article on ‘The difference between the Australian English and the American’ once I complete my research. Do keep visiting my blog and suggest articles on topics that you like to know about web content writing.

Benefits of Directory Submission
When it comes to off page SEO, directory submission is one of the important things in website promotion. Search engines first look for the content of your website and relevant internal links to rank your website. The next thing it considers is the number of external links that point toward your website.
One way links are valuable in the eyes of search engines. Expert webmasters purchase relevant links from high PageRank websites to increase their traffic as well as PageRank. While these links could cost somewhere from $10 to $3000, manual directory submission can provide you with high quality links that can improver your website traffic as well as PageRank for a trivial sum.
You can submit your website URL to directories either manually or using software. However, manual directory submission is preferred by many webmasters and directories because automatic submissions at time do not place in relevant categories and result in rejection of your website.
If you wish to build thousands of links and if your sole aim is to increase your websites’ traffic, automated directory submission can be very helpful. Imagine building 50,000 links within a short span of 30–40 days! This type of link building is not possible manually. However, when it comes to submitting your website to high PR directories, manual submission is a must.
There are also cheap directory submission services like what we do. Our webmasters provide 100 quality one way links through manual directory submission for a fee as small as $25. There are a few websites that provide the service free of cost but requires a backlink from your website.

What is off page seo?
Earlier I had mentioned about the two parts of successful seo. While the first article is about onpage seo, this article will provide you some useful details on off page seo. To put it in a nut shell off page seo is nothing but link building.
Although it sounds so easy, in reality it is a tedious job. While building backlinks for your website, you need to understand that the links are viewed as votes for your blog by the search engines. The truth is not all links have the same value. A link from PR5 web page is has more value than a link from PR0. At the same time if a link is obtained from PR5 web pages that are not relevant holds no value.
This is why relevancy is very important when it comes to link building or off page seo. There are a number of strategies for link building. I shall discus each one of them in detail. Do visit the site often to learn more about off page search engine optimization.

What is SEO writing?
I had been so far writing about good content writing. For a while I will be posting articles on SEO writing. Search engine optimization (SEO) of a website can be rightly divided into two parts for our convenience as seo writing and link building. While seo writing involves the use of relevant keywords and phrases in various parts of the website, link building is the process of acquiring relevant backlinks that point toward you site. The technical term for seo writing is onpage optimization. And link building process is popularly known as offpage optimization.

An SEO-content writer should be adept both in language and techniques
While anybody with great language skills can be a good article writer, to be a successful web content writer, you need to master many a thing. First thing a web content writer should understand is that the very purpose of Web content writing is to make the website visible when a request is placed for certain keywords. I have seen websites with little value rank higher in search engines because of the seo-content in it. Whereas, great product sites without any articles or seo-content never show up for the keyword searches.
In my two years of content writing career, I have come across many content writers who write for the web. I also have studied websites that rank top for certain keywords. Surprisingly a few websites with poor language had ranked in top positions for keywords, while some of the websites with great content never showed up for the same keywords!
Here certainly the first type of content writing is the most needed one for websites. Imagine you pay a good sum for an attractive content and if nobody reads it? On the contrary the first type although successful isn’t the right way either.
The truth is the first set of websites although well optimized for search engines will certainly not deliver the desired results because the seo-content is only meant for crawlers and search engine robots and not for humans. Whereas, the second set of websites with its truly scholarly content remain hidden and will not serve the purpose as well.
While the content writing for the first set of websites must have been written by an seo-content writer with poor language skills, the extremely well written articles of the second set of websites lacked the seo skills to make the website rank high for search engines.
It is a must that you have to be proficient in the language and in the subject matter in order to be a successful article writer for the web. However, only a good knowledge of the internet and search engines can help article writers to be successful seo-content writers.
How to become a great seo-content writer? What is seo-article writing? And why keyword research is important to make your seo-content writing effective? Soon I will be publishing articles on these seo-content topics.

Cheap content writer versus affordable content writer
During my research for keyword analysis, I found many of those in need of articles or website content use the term cheap content writers! Well I do understand they are really on the look out for affordable content writers who can write quality articles. Ironically the phrase cheap content writers gets more attention than affordable content writer.
While cheap content writer in English could mean that the content of the writer is not of high quality. But every content writer who wants to be visible in the internet has to go by the keywords that people search for! In SEO writing the term cheap content writer really works.
Well, how do yo find quality article writers? Indian content writers are categorized among the top writers for the web. While a native English writer can cost you an arm and a leg, Indian content writers provide high quality articles at highly competitive rates. However, some of them who tag themselves as writers are really not professionals.
If you like to hire an Indian content writer, it is wise to ask for samples so that you can check the flow, grammar, and writing skills.

Web content writer versus lecturer
I had earlier mentioned that writing for the web is very different from the English taught in your school or college. In this article I shall give you a few examples of language usage in the internet.
I had been working as a lecturer in English in Nehru Memorial College (Autonomous) one of the most prestigious institutions in Tamil nadu, which is a pioneer that introduced the popular computer science as UG degree course for the first time in India.
When I was a lecturer I used to insist on the so called Queen’s English, whereas, being a freelance content writer I prefer American over the British English. American English servers better when it comes to writing for the web.
One other thing is the use of pronoun. I have always told my students that repeating nouns again and again (excluding the ones used for the purpose of clarity) in writings will result in a form of error called redundancy, which is viewed seriously by some of the orthodox teachers of English. But when it comes to writing for search engine optimization you will have to repeat the keywords in order to attain the required keyword density. If you are new to SEO, a glance at my profile will really astonish you. [However, as a lecturer I would certainly not recommend this type of writing for your term papers. This is only for article writers who write for the web]

Effective content for brochures
The marketing strategy includes a definition of your business, a description of your products and services, locating your target users or clients, and your company's role in the ongoing competition. Some of the effective marketing materials include Brochures, Pamphlets, PowerPoint Presentation, Internet Ad Banners, Radio Announcements, Television shows, and Articles etc. Brochure is one of the time tested marketing tools, and this article attempts to make it more effective.
Avoid common errors in brochures
Marketing professionals write materials that emphasize the business background and brand rather than the benefits the company offers. This creates a challenge when these materials are given to the sales team as collateral. Brochures should persuade your prospects and inform people that you have something valuable to offer them.
To create marketing materials that sell, you need to incorporate the following in it.
•Define the nature of your product or service and specify all the features that would be of interest to the potential consumer.
•Position your product or service to define clearly how you are different from your competitors.
•Write your marketing content with your target audience in mind. Doing a demographic study of your prospects is always essential.
•Make your collateral easy to understand. It must be friendly uncluttered, persuasive, and involving.
Is it good to be unique?
Being unique is a good thing, but sometimes you can be too unique to be good. If you decide to create a completely new specimen, you may be attempting an experiment that many others had already tried and failed. It is sometimes better to copy successful models than to be original and sick.
Language and style
Identify your potential customers, find out the most effective way to inform your potential customers, Look closely at your target market, their age, sex, profession, income level and educational level. A positive approach always brings in a good catch. A simple language can bring better results; remember it’s for your customers to understand, and it’s not for you to expose your language skills.
Clarity and brevity
As the time taken by the average reader to glance at the cover of a brochure is less than 5 seconds your headline on the cover of your brochure needs to be eye catching. People are too busy to read and appreciate long essays that describe elaborately in a poetic language. Let your content be precise and brief so that it creates an impact at the first glance. As human nature is to be inquisitive a thought provoking content that makes them inquire is also an effective writing style for brochures.
Presentation
The most important part that makes the brochure an effective marketing tool is the way you present your subject. Balance your text with graphics, use appealing colors that will attract any one. A glossy look will enhance the beauty of your brochure. Remember a thing of beauty is a joy for ever. A sturdy brochure can make multiple impacts. Add aesthetics to your brochure and beautify your effective marketing tool.
