Meta tags no more for organic search optimization

The days are a changing. Yahoo, announced at SMX that they are no longer using meta keywords for ranking. They are the last of the "BIG 3" to do so. While it may still be relevant for paid search, for organic it is not.

Remember the days, when SEO was much easier. Now, bloggers and content providers have to genuinely create relevant content and include the keywords directly inside the content. Don't get me started on the FTC's new rules. But... it also brings out those that create content specific for SEO keywords and not for content relevancy. What you then get are paragraphs of incomprehensible garbage. "SEO experts" you are not. Fear not, there are plenty of us that still believe in doing organic search the proper way and guys like Chris Brogan that have no problem calling you out which is why I think he is so wonderful.

I do find it interesting, that Yahoo didn't even announce it publicly. Its been a few months even. NO press releases. NADA. It was announced during a Q&A session at SMX. Danny Sullivan was even a bit surprised by it as I'm sure where the audience. To me, that is something I find "relevant" to knowing as an online marketer. Mainly, because even if one of the three is doing it then you still include it in code. I like to know when did they plan on letting us know?! If it wasn't for that Q&A how much longer would have Yahoo kept us in the dark?

So, now what shall I do with the few extra minutes we've been spared?! What will you do?

Going Global... search engine optimization helps you get there

Going global? Have you ever thought about taking your business global? Its a scary thought but as I am a thrill seeker, I look for those scary thoughts to get out of the comfort zone.

When I decided to take on a new arm for my marketing company, I knew it was going to be a lot of work. It was and still is. I knew that search engine optimization was a must have in my arsenal of services. SEO is now becoming a must have for all businesses. Because I have decided to offer this service. I know attend more conferences, read more articles and have the need to update our site and marketing materials. The end result of web site optimization though is amazing. If you really think about it, there is no end result; its always continuing to the next level. It is what helps you go global. I had a client that was a local builder, they never even thought about the benefits and the people they can reach through SEO. Even if your business is in one county or one state doesn't mean that other businesses or consumers won't be looking for you in their state. Maybe they are looking to move, start another location, or even attend a conference. Its all relevant to search engine marketing and your web site.

Global is big and scary but its an opportunity for growth and increasing your income. That's what all of us strive for. Why not have your site working for you when you are sleeping, when you are on vacation or on the weekends when you are spending time with your family...

We can help you with your fears and turn them into dollar signs. We love roller coasters and will be there right there with you with our hands up in the air screaming, THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!!!
