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?

Is your web site up-to-date?

In the rapid pace rat race you need to have your web site updated on a very regular basis. What is a regular basis? Every other week, though weekly is much better. It only helps you but who has the time and money for that. To learn code takes weeks and to pay someone will cost hundreds of $$. Luckily through our new web site content manager, anyone who has internet access and knowledge of Microsoft Word can use it. No coding needed, no knowledge of HTML, ASP or PHP. That way when you have any last minute events, press or edits, you won't have to wait. The internet has made everyone need everything yesterday and we are here to fulfill that NEED. We have customized this product and put out what we believe is the most functional of CMS (content management systems) products.

But wait there's more!!!!

Not only can you edit the content in your web site with ease, you can also easily optimize your site with changing the titles, descriptions and keywords of each page.

Finally, a solution that will give you the control without the fear of putting your site offline with one typo. Now you can update your site and keep the search engines happy with fresh content. Because that is what it is all about. Pleasing the allmighty search engines.

Search Engine Optimization Works

Case Study 1:
For the past few months I have been optimizing http://www.print-it-quick.com. Print-it-quick.com is a web site where you are able to place an order for full color printing like cheap brochure printing, business cards, rack cards, ect. I was told that to get orders off the internet was extremely difficult. Naturally, I took on the challenge.

Getting the site listed in the search engines was tricky. Since a few sites now have to find you through other sites. The key words I have been optimizing are:

• Full Color Printing Florida
• Full Color Printing
• Business Card Online Printing
• Discount Brochure Printing
• Cheap brochure printing
• Business card printing service
• 24 Hour Turnaround
• 4 color printing brochure

As of yesterday, my rankings are:

	Total Number 1 Positions: 1
	Total Top-10 Positions: 6
	Total Top-20 Positions: 7

Google

24 Hour Turnaround -RANK 23- http://www.print-it-quick.com/

MSN
24 Hour Turnaround -RANK 4- http://www.print-it-quick.com/

4 color printing brochure -RANK 1 - http://www.print-it-quick.com/printing-trifold-brochures.shtml

Business Card Online Printing -RANK 4 - http://www.print-it-quick.com/printing-business-cards.shtml

Business card printing service -RANK 17- http://www.print-it-quick.com/printing-business-cards.shtml

Cheap brochure printing -RANK 3- http://www.print-it-quick.com/printing-trifold-brochures.shtml

Discount Brochure Printing -RANK 3- http://www.print-it-quick.com/printing-trifold-brochures.shtml

Full Color Printing Florida -RANK 8- http://www.print-it-quick.com/printing-posters.shtml

These are only for the top 20. We are listed with all the major ones like Yahoo, AltaVista, Alltheweb, but still climbing to the top on those.

This is a very tedious process. Choosing the right keywords and then what to do with afterwards. It is a science and we look forward to taking on more challenges for our clients. We have made money off of our SEO efforts and have processed quite a large order. We've recieved a lot of inquiries from all of the United States and even from Canada which we hope to process this week which could lead to printing of close to 1 million pieces. We wanted to make sure we could deliver for our clients which is why we have waited as long as we have to release this. We want to prove to you that we are able to deliver.

Stay tuned for further updates on our SEO efforts.
