			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What works best for great ranking in one search engine may differ from that of another search engine.  Yahoo, Google, and MSN are currently the top searching sites used by Internet users.</p>
<p>Yahoo isn&#8217;t in and of itself a search engine, rather, it is a directory, and therefore, a site&#8217;s rank is not primarily influenced by the words that are on your pages.  The words that matter are those that are on the listing that you submit.  Search results come from a few sources including those in the Google database, sites in the Yahoo index, and Yahoo categories that match a query. Just because your site may show up in the search, doesn&#8217;t mean it is indexed by Yahoo.  If Yahoo doesn&#8217;t have it indexed, matches from Google are displayed.</p>
<p>To get listed and achieve a high rank with Yahoo, there are some tips to think about:</p>
<ul>
<li>Construct an aesthetically pleasing website</li>
<li>Choose the most appropriate category for your website</li>
<li>Include keywords in the title of your site</li>
</ul>
<p>Yahoo and many other search engines offer a new search engine marketing method called &#8220;Paid Inclusion.&#8221;  The company charges fees to a website owner for a guaranteed inclusion of the website in the search engine&#8217;s index.  Depending on the search engine, a pay-per-click fee may also be charged.  Yahoo mixes paid inclusion with results from web-crawling to determine rank.  Controversy is alive about paid inclusion.  The argument remains that the most economically well off sites remain at the top of the rankings, rather than the most relevant of sites to a specific search.  There is a great deal to consider before using this tactic, primarily a close look into your budget and intentions for your website.</p>
<p>Google has its own unique criteria for ranking websites.  One way to stand out is to utilize a Google Sitemap.  Visibility is improved because you are able to log in and inform Google of changes made.  This allows for fresher search results for Internet users.  You can also inform Google about how often a page is changed; this all helps to improve the ranking of your site.  Another way to increase your ranking is to grow the number of high quality sites that link to your pages.  Use rich and accurate content that utilizes vocabulary appropriate for your site and its intended users.  Don&#8217;t get bogged down in repeating certain words throughout the pages.  Google goes beyond how many times a word appears by looking at all aspects of the page&#8217;s content and the content of the pages linking to it.  Together, it is determined if and how important and relevant they are to a specific search query.</p>
<p>Aside from tactics used by other search engines to determine rank, MSN uses various &#8220;web catalogs&#8221; for its search results.  Along with specific algorithms (or criteria the engine uses to rank) applied to your page, a ranking is given to your page for the search engine.</p>
<p>Regardless the search engine, there are motions a web owner can make to help them stand out in rank from their other counterparts such as link development, an extremely important part of getting your site recognized.  You need to have quality sites linked to you, and you need to link to quality sites.</p>
<p>HTML META tags help engines determine what your page is all about and can therefore help increase your visibility and rank when accompanied by other SEO tactics.  These tags must be carefully made so that they fit the parameters of the algorithms specific to the search engine.  Always use the best keywords possible in making tags.  This will help ensure that work being done behind the scenes to do with your META tags is to your advantage.</p>
<p>SAMSA can help you achieve great ranking in search engines with our <a href="http://www.samsa.com/internet/seo/">Internet Marketing</a> Services.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A class-action lawsuit, Lane&#8217;s Gifts and Collectibles et al. v. Google, Inc. et. al. is in the process.  The plaintiffs claim that Google has breached its contracts, unjustly enriched itself, and engaged in a civil conspiracy by failing to detect and stop &#8220;click fraud&#8221; and other improper clicks on online advertisements.  Google denies the claims saying that all payments received for online advertising were legally and properly charged and that they haven&#8217;t breached contract.  Google also says that a majority of invalid clicks are detected and filtered before they reach an advertiser&#8217;s bill, and if an advertiser detects additional invalid clicks, Google&#8217;s click quality team investigates and provides refunds when appropriate.</p>
<p><strong>Anyone who has purchased online advertising from Google between January 1, 2002 and the present is considered a class member in the lawsuit.</strong> The court will decide whether or not to approve the settlement.  If approved, Google advertising credits will be awarded to class members who certify that they have been victims of the alleged fraud and improper clicks on advertisements during the specified time period.  If an appeal occurs, credits will not be awarded until the appeal is resolved.  The hearing for this settlement is scheduled for July 24th and 25th.</p>
<p><strong>What Would You Receive From the Settlement?</strong><br />
By submitting a valid claim form in a timely manner, the percentage of ads that you believe were affected by &#8220;click fraud,&#8221; you will be awarded with a percentage of the total available credits based on how much in total you paid to Google for the ads.</p>
<p>What Your Options Are:<br />
<em><strong>Remember, your legal rights are affected whether you choose to act or not</strong></em></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Do Nothing </strong>- You will automatically be eligible to submit a claim form for Google advertising credits and will give up your ability to sue Google over the subject matter of this case.  Between June 19, 2006 and August 4, 2006, visit www.clicksettlement.com to submit a claim form.</li>
<li><strong>Exclude Yourself </strong>- You will not be able to submit a claim form for Google advertising credits and will retain your ability to bring or participate in another lawsuit against Google about the subject matter of this case.  To opt-out from the class, mail a signed letter asking to be excluded postmarked no later than 30 days after the date the Notice was sent to you to:Google Settlement Opt Out<br />

P.O. Box 808070<br />
Petaluma, CA 94975-8070</li>
<li><strong>Object</strong> &#8211; You will write to the Court and parties about why you disagree with the settlement no later than 30 days after the date the Notice was sent out.  Letters must be mailed to the following 3 addresses:Clerk of the Miller County Circuit Court<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SEO, a component of Internet marketing, is more than website layout, design, and putting &#8220;stuff&#8221; on your site.  The &#8220;stuff&#8221; is actually a crucial part of determining the potential level of search optimization your site has.  The major objective of search engine optimization is to make your site as search engine friendly as possible.</p>
<p>It takes a lot of hard work to get the results you want because there is no short cut to success when personal creation is involved.  A serious evaluation of internal and external resources must be conducted when deciding how your business will obtain its website text content.  It&#8217;s often beneficial to seek an outside professional who is specialized in copywriting.</p>
<p>The cost to seek assistance in writing content or having content edited is incalculable because in the long run you will not be risking such a high chance of teeter-tottering on the brink of failure and success.  Writing produced by an internal source requires immense devotion to &#8220;keeping it up&#8221;.  Because the web is growing and search results fluctuate, a business must keep up with the pace by adding new content regularly or it will fall in rank or disappear altogether on search engine results.  This is where an external source can be most helpful; a skilled copywriter is competent and will take on the responsibility of creating fresh text specific to your needs so you can focus on other tasks.  SAMSA offers a copywriting service to fulfill this need.</p>
<p>Focusing your content on your target market is first and foremost.  Attempting to reach everyone by blasting un-related popular search words will only be setting yourself up for failure in terms of low rank on search results and attracting an obscure market of visitors to your site.  Content must be unique, appealing, understandable, and pertinent to your market.  In drawing visitors, words that are important to strategically place throughout the site are ones that potential customers would be searching for to find what it is that you provide.  Bad grammar, structure, word choice, etc. defeats the intention of trying to optimize your site.</p>
<p>Because the Internet is a text-based medium, the information a site contains is what produces the site as a search result.  Graphics, flash, etc. are important in creating an aesthetically pleasing site but these components alone will not make your site show up in a search engine.  Tip-top text is the foundation for bringing traffic to your site and giving your site a rating in search engines.</p>
<p>With the popularity of search engines, it is possible to increase your businesses&#8217; visibility and traffic on the web provided you are committed to making the most of all that search engine optimization has to offer.  Don&#8217;t let your website become just another site floating out in space.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back in the early days of the Internet, the phrase &#8220;build it and they will come&#8221; was something many web site owners believed in. Many people thought they don&#8217;t need to market their site they just needed one built.</p>
<p>While the competition back then wasn&#8217;t as overwhelming as it is today, some site owners actually got lucky getting their sites listed in search engines. The Internet now consists of billions and billions of sites&#8230; just go and do a search at your favorite search engine and you will see for yourself. Now, even though the Internet is growing at lightspeed, many people still believe in that trusty old phrase&#8230;&#8221;build it and they will come&#8221;.</p>
<p>Wait!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to put this phrase to rest because this couldn&#8217;t be further from the truth! In order to be profitable with your site, you need a good solid marketing plan. This plan also needs to include a good plan for search engine optimization. Why? Well, you could just put up your site and spend money on pay per click programs to get traffic to your site, or you could optimize your site for the search engines and get free traffic! Getting free traffic to your site can save you tons of money! Don&#8217;t get me wrong, PPC is good for your sites plan, but it should only be a small part.</p>
<p>So where do you start with your marketing plan? If you are new to website ownership, there&#8217;s a vast amount of information out there that can help get you started, and it will probably take you a long time to learn by trial and error in order to find out what will work best for you.

<p>Which ever way you decide to go, the bottom line with selling your products and/or services on the web is that you need to have exposure for your site so that you get qualified traffic to your site. You can&#8217;t just build it and expect them to come&#8230; because they won&#8217;t.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone with a Web site should take advantage of the advertising on the major search engines using the pay-per-click model. The reason I say this is that advertising this way is very cost effective because you can set your own budget (most of the time) and drive qualified traffic to your site for pennies a day. Many times I have heard that site owners would rather rely on organic search results because it&#8217;s basically free advertising. This is true, however if you are not ranking in the first 3 pages of the search results, chances of getting traffic to your site is practically null. Then you have to get your site ranked for the keywords that users are searching on which is not always easy, especially if you have a new site. Pay-per-click is great method to use while you wait on your organic search rankings. You can read more about advertising on search engines here: <a href="http://www.sitepronews.com/archives/2005/oct/12.html">http://www.sitepronews.com/archives/2005/oct/12.html</a><br />
