Member You - Relevant? More Often Than Not... No
Internet has made the transition from Web 1.0 which is html and static links to interactive, dynamic and user driven sites called Web 2.0. Web 2.0 sites are now the highly traffic spots that had been used by a lot of online marketers to boost their sales or services. Online video distribution & sharing is one of the key web 2.0 tools to expose your business to the world.The use of vide
So, how relevant are your searches? If you're like me it's becoming more and more a game of who's willing to pay for placement (whether they belong there or not in most circumstances), and those who've been working their little fingers to the bone to be in the right spot, for the right keywords to
Trade shows, conventions and conferences are very different animals, so it only makes sense that choosing promotional conference gifts should highlight different priorities than choosing trade show gifts. Think about the purpose of a conference – to share information, network with other providers in the business that you share and learn about advances and research in your field. That differs
In doing so, I had a thought to check out a service that, as ezine readers, we often see. I speak of the service tinyurl.com, a good service where you can take those really long links and tighten them up.
First let me start by saying it is a good service, and based on how often I see them in use, you'd think a very popular one, right?
Well, not according to Google...
I've been driving myself nuts over the last few months trying to figure out, or stay ahead of, Google's algorithm changes (and I dare say many of us are doing something similar, yes?).
So, instead of looking at my website, http://www.mywizardads.com, I decided to check out something I was 100% positive would appear in its rightful spot on Google, tinyurl.com
I typed in the following using my Google toolbar:
Keywords: Shorten url
No evidence of tinyurl.com in the 1st 10 pages of Google - at least as of this writing (August 2004).
Keywords: tiny url
You’d think that would do the trick, right? Well you’d be wrong.
One reference to an About article but not the website itself, along with a geocities free website with an inside page link to this service. No domain name in sight.
Keywords: how to shorten a long url
Finally, the site itself turns up on page three of Google, but it's use and popularity suggest something isn't quite right about this placement. And we all know what that is, right?
Google suggests at that point that I type in:
Keyword: tinyurl
Only if I specifically typed in tinyurl (as one word) could I find it listed in the Number 1 spot at Google. Well duh!

Have you ever been tired of being pushed around by your direct superiors to meet deadlines and having to work long hours, but at the end of the day all the credits and promotions goes to them? Have you ever thought of starting your own business so that you can stop all the nonsense of working for your superiors and increasing their fat pockets instead of yours for all the credits they have t

Negotiating online is different from communicating in person. First of all, it is not done in real time. Communicating online is by definition a delayed process. One party sends an email and then waits for a response. Since you cannot see or hear the other person, you are getting all your cues from the online message. Because you are typing and thinking at the same time, it is easy to make mi

PPC advertising or article marketing? Tough call, eh? PPC advertising is fast, that is for sure. And it creates response for sure. And it is easy - just set up the account and send them your money.But article marketing is time consuming, is not fast, you cannot predict how many subscribers you will get per day until you get past 2-3 hundred articles published in the right article d

Popular, oh yes! But is Google (or Yahoo or MSN, etc., for that matter) currently the best way to get the best results?
Evidence says no.
What I have found is that the obscure search engine (as long as it is not "pa'id to place") returns the most relevant results I'm looking for when I go hunting. There are a ton of them out there (type in search engines at Google and see for yourself, but if you're looking for the lesser-known ones, start at page 6 and higher, LOL!).
Someday it would be nice to see a mainstream search engine tweak its algorithm to the point where both the keywords and the content have something in common - and the returned results are targeted.
I know it's impossible, but it sure would be nice to take the insect out and put the human-touch back into search engine searches.
I know I’d be able to locate what I’m looking for a heck of a lot faster.
In the meantime, the frustration continues.
