Day 195: SEO and Keywords

June 24, 2010 by Mister Viddy

Does Google ever use the “keywords” meta tag in its web search ranking?

And Google replied, no.

And there you have it, keywords are not the magic beans that some “experts” would have you believe. Content is king. Plain and simple there is no way for you to avoid the fact that in order for your website to perform well in any search engine you must provide good, relevant page content.

SEO is not an exact science but there are plenty of search engine optimization experts that will sell you on all sorts of tricks that they claim will put you on page one of Google, Yahoo and Bing. Do your research. There is no easy fix when it comes to SEO but the web is filled with tons of good sites that will educate and enlighten.

Day 107: T-Mobile myTouch 3G – White

March 29, 2010 by Mister Viddy

You have a T-Mobile myTouch 3G cellphone in white. This is a popular Android cellphone and many T-Mobile customers will want one. So if you are selling a T-Mobile myTouch 3G with a white case and you want to target Android users then what do you do? Do you plan to offer an image of an actual T-Mobile myTouch 3G or will you simply describe the cellphone? And what about price? Have you compared the current retail price for a T-Mobile myTouch 3G on other sites to make sure that your price is competitive? Are you hoping that this item will find its way to Yahoo Shopping and Google Product Search? In addition to describing the technical specifications of a T-Mobile myTouch 3G, such as the Android operating system will you be offering any accessories such as a case and charger?

These are just a few things to keep in mind when getting ready to post any item on your online store. Competition is fierce. Not only do you compete against other websites but you have to consider the fact that people can also find a T-Mobile myTouch 3G in a T-Mobile store or mall kiosk. Do your research. Let your competition guide you and before long you will become a master at selling the T-Mobile myTouch 3G or any other item.

Day 73 (Google and SEO)

February 23, 2010 by Mister Viddy

Well I dinged myself when I should have known better. Google does not like the fact that I have been use the phrase “A Post A Day” in each of my recent post a day posts. As I said, this little slip should have been apparent to me but I chose visuals over good SEO practices. So for now I am dropping the words “A Post A Day” from my post titles to see if that appeases the SEO gods. In general it has been interesting to see how the content of each post has helped rank the pages within the Google search engine.

People, if there is one thing that you have to remember is that it is crucial for you to always provide good, relevant content on your sites. Keywords alone are not going to do it for you. If you aren’t a natural writer then look online for tutorials that help teach you how to write content. It is not as difficult as you think and only requires a little bit of work and dedication on your part.

To help get your started I am going to direct you to the following sites which will help you understand search engine optimization and web content writing:
