Over the past week I've been developing a game plan for my latest site for the World of Warcraft Guides. I have two blogs for this purpose. Each blog will cover various things that relate to WoW guides and tips and strategies for the game in general.
If you want to draw attention to your sites you'll need to be creating outside resources. This is done through a variety of ways. Blogs are one of them. I have a part time job so I've been outsourcing my work to various people. So far I have almost fully trained one person to do about 80% of the chores that need to be done to get your site more traffic from search engines.
If you want help with your site and you would like to have your business gain more attention from the Internet, whether that may be Google or other search engines, you may want to consider outsourcing your work. That is where people like me can help you.
Visit my site reddingseo.com if you want more details and are interested in contacting me to help you build more online traffic.

How to Build PageRank in Google
Building a high PR in Google is not hard. It does require patience. You can read more about this subject on my site, ReddingSEO.com. While having a nice PR is Google is a nice thing, it is nothing to obsess about. The reason why you should become overly concerned is because if you manage to pick keywords and search terms that are not extremely competitive, you can rank well, meaning you can get your site listed on the first page search results for many keyword search terms.
In order to build your PR up in Google, you'll need time, good back links, quality content, and a site that others are visiting regularly helps.
What you do not want to do is consider black hat or illegal methods and techniques to get your site ranking high. These methods can get your site banned from Google, which means it will be de-listed, no traffic ever coming from Google searches and that means hardly any traffic at all.
As time goes by Google continues to look for these "cheating" ways of ranking well. New ones come out all the time, but Google is always updating their algorithms so keeping ahead is not going to be easy.
One way to help you with all the chores of maintaining your website is to pay someone to help out. That's where people like me who specialise in search engine optimization come in.

Grid Free Living
It's time to introduce another website. This one is all about Grid Free Living. Learning how to build solar panels, wind power systems and more. I've recently learned that you can build an electric car for about $300.00 with the right tools, a solar panel for less than $200.00 and a wind powered system for about $100.00.
Lots of great ways to go living off the grid. The website Let's Talk Reviews is a newer dot come giving reviews on a variety of downloadable guides and manuals, mainly the step by step how-to kinds.
I read an article recently in the National Geographic about a family that took on an adventure in lowering their energy consumption on-grid by 80%. It was not easy and it wasn't something that everyone would be motivated to do, but we have been motivated to get started on a little energy consumption diet.
It can start with as little attention as turning off your PC or laptop when you're not using it.
Until next time,
Chrisi D.

Two New Sites Added
Well, it's been awhile but I've been busy designing a few websites and delving into some new areas. One of the more difficult ways to drive traffic to your site is through Pay Per Click. Google is the toughest PPC advertising to learn. It is a lot of trial and error.
The two new sites I have recently created at:
http://www.abprogramsreviewed.com - Bodyshaping Review site.
http:/www.ezipps.com - XBOX 360 Repair Reviews
Ezipps.com has been around for a few years. I have only just decided to upload a website on it. The domain name is short, this is one reason I selected it. It is going to help me in my testing. I did not use the usual methods to create this site at this point since I am not seeking organic traffic at the moment.
Gaining search engine traffic organically requires a lot of time and patience. PPC can drive traffic instantly to your site. However, it can be very costly. Especially if you don't understand how Google things.
Without any knowlege in PPC you most likely would be extremely frustrated. Google has two things that often drive people nuts within the first day.
The Google Slap and the Google Quality Score.
I am new to PPC, but I have an expert coach. I'll keep you up to date as I can to let you know how my own personal experience with PPC is going.
Until next time,

Google Slap What is That
Perhaps you've heard the term, Google Slap. Sounds rather brutal doesn't it? Well, it actually is pretty brutal if it happens to you. The Google Slap will only happen to you if you're working in PPC or pay per click advertising.
A long time ago PPC was very simple. You placed an ad, paid for a position and that was about it. The better the keyword, the more money the ad costs for a higher position. The problem with this came over time as too many people were placing ads that lead to the very same website. The other problem was ads that lead to very poorly designed websites. Sites that had horrible content and sites that were trying to make money on Adsense, the opposite of Adwords, by something that is a little complicated to understand. The bottom line is that Google decided to take a stand and stop all the poor advertising so that both the advertiser and the person seeking to find related content to their search a good experience.
So, what exactly is the Google slap? Google slaps an advertiser that does not meet with their criteria in advertising. If you are going to use Google's Adwords, or PPC, if you are paying someone to advertise for you, you MUST know what's going on. You can become banned and your domain will reap heavy penalties that can cost you a lot of money to advertise even in places where no one else is placing any PPC ads if you don't please Google and follow the rules.
These things are too complex to explain in my blog, but a word of caution to those using Google for PPC. Make sure you or your PPC manager knows exactly what they are doing and if you are using a PPC manager, get a FULL report on your PPC costs per keywords used, clicks successfully bringing in traffic etc... the more you understand the better you'll be.

Blogging and SEO
Are you blogging? Do you own a business? Did you know that blogging can help your site become more active with viewers?
How?
Blogging can help you increase the activity of your website by selecting specific keywords and linking them to your site. This is what I do with every one of my posts. I am always creating "tags" and live links to my www.reddingseo.com. I want to make sure that the keywords I'm focused on are in line with getting a first page ranking.
In the beginning my reddingseo.com was listed on the first page for the keyword search term, "Redding SEO". The other two keywords I have been working on are, "Redding search engine optimization" and "Redding search engine services".
If you type in redding seo, redding seo blog, and redding search engine optimization into Google's search box you should find all three of those terms on page 2 for the most part. The first two keywords are on the first page almost all the time, the third is on page 2 most of the time.
My second site, the Pond Ideas website has many first page keyword listings. It receives daily clicks from Adsense. My third site about reverse mortgages has the first page listing for the main keyword I've targeted.
With proper SEO you can gain traffic to your sites. I'll be listing a new site soon...

New SEO Creation
Today more than ever more people are seeking to make a living online. I'm one of those people. It's hard for me to make the time to work on my online projects, but every week I try to get as much done as possible.
If you're wanting to build your business online it is important to understand that you must set up goals. You will need to set up short term as well as long term goals. Everyday I actually try to do something positive toward my online business. It is not always possible to get a lot done, but even writing just a few paragraphs and updating this blog is helping me with my SEO online.
How? Well, this is my launching site. This is the place where I have established enough activity, via a blog, to get my other websites attention. In the beginning it took a week for me to have my first website listed in Google. Once this blog became active it set in motion something very important.
What? Google and other search engines like Yahoo love blogs. Blogs are the most updated and active sites online so the search engines want to come and check up on them as often as once or twice a day. It depends on how often you are updating your blogs. The more you update your blog the more activity it creates and the end result is a lot of "slurping" from Google and other search engines.
So, the goal here for me is to update this blog as often as I can. Which should be at least 2 or 3 times a week. Lately it's been harder to do that due to a couple of my workmates becoming disabled and having to cover work for them.
I'll be back soon, I have almost finished creating my new site. Once I have it finished, I'll announce it in this blog and enter the Google map into the BIG G. The last site I announced was listed in less than 2 days. I'll try and keep a closer watch this time to see how fast my next one is listed.
Until then...
Happy Blogging,
Chrisi D
