If you are interested in achieving success in the virtual business world, it is absolutely essential to have high-quality, keyword rich articles that will result in targeted traffic. I like to refer to articles as the “seeds of success”. The right content, coupled with the right marketing strategies, assist in generating the “buzz” your business needs to succeed. Many entrepreneurs simply write an article or have articles written for them, post them and then leave them to sit. By comparing the articles to seeds, you quickly realize that it takes a bit more work to ensure that they reach their level of financial maturity. When planting physical seeds, you must take several steps to ensure that they meet and/or exceed their physical growth potential. The same holds true for articles that you use to draw attention to the products and/or services that you offer online.

 

If you are interested in cultivating physical seeds that will grow into trees, vegetables, fruits or flowers, there are numerous steps that must be completed in order to ensure that those seeds physically mature. You know that it takes a lot more than simply digging a hole large enough for the seed, covering it with soil and giving it a little bit of water. In order to successfully cultivate the seed, you must ensure that it is given the proper amount of room to grow, it is planted in the right season, it receives the right amount of sunlight, it is provided plant food and water, and it is consistently evaluated for potential complications that could hinder its overall growth success rate. The same holds true for articles – which, in the virtual world, are considered to be YOUR seeds of success.

 

The following steps may be taken to ensure that your seeds of success are properly nourished and growing in a manner that is beneficial to your online success:

 

1.         Promote Your Content – One of the most successful ways to ensure that your article stays healthy and continues to bring you the financial success that you desire is to promote that article. The most productive means of doing this is through virtual syndication. By engaging in syndication with major social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and others, you will quickly discover that you have the ability to experience high levels of success. Syndication results in high levels of targeted traffic, offers you up to 200% more visibility in major search engines such as Yahoo and Google and allows you to acquire a high level of inbound links from other relevant websites quickly.

 

2.         Expand Your Content – In order to properly cultivate your seeds of success in the virtual world, you must expand your content. Not only will this increase your search engine rankings, it will assist in helping you get a healthy amount of inbound and relevant backlinks and assist in displaying your expertise in your niche. However, it takes a bit more than simply spinning or rewriting your original content in order to succeed. You must actually add a higher level of value and use unique spins on your original work. The goal is to provide the highest level of value to your readers. When a seed starts to grow into a plant, you may take pieces of that plant to make a new plant. However, it is not the same exact plant. It is a life form of its own. When expanding your content, simply take a piece of the original in order to create completely new pieces that are a unique life form of its own. By doing so, you will be respected by search engines and your readers.

 

3.         Update Your Content Regularly – In order to successfully cultivate a plant, you may experiment with different fertilizers, or even move the plant into a highly decorative vase or other type of container in order to make it more attractive. In order to successfully cultivate your articles and make them appealing to readers, it is essential that you consistently update your content and make sure that it remains highly relevant. By doing so, search engines will rank you higher and individuals will continuously return to check on updates. You may simply rewrite the content, add to the content, or syndicate the content to new locations online.

Learn How to Harness The Power of Google PANDA!

Written by Angela Shiflett

On February 24th 2011, the first Google Panda Update was released. Millions upon millions of website owners quickly found themselves dropped by Google and receiving generously lower amounts of traffic.

Many questions started swarming the internet – “Why was my website hit by the Panda Update?”, “Why did my page rank drop?”, and “What can I do to get my website back in the top rank of Google searches?” If you have a website, it is likely that you may have been targeted by the Google Panda Update.

While many webmasters, marketers and businesses were not impacted by Panda, there are many that are still struggling to get their website back on track. If you are reading this, it is quite likely that you have experienced the helplessness and devastation associated with this vicious update to Google’s search engine algorithm.

Prior to the radical changes imposed by the Google Panda Update, many websites that were once ranked on the first page of Google search results have now been dropped below the top 100 websites of the same niche in search results. This means that many of you have seen traffic drops of up to 85% or more!

We all know when our website rank drops, our income drops. This is especially true if you sell products or services in a certain niche or depend on Google AdSense for your income. If you are reading this, it is quite likely that you are suffering to one extent or another because of the Google Panda Update released in the early part of 2011.

If the bills are piling up, your money is low and your financial situation is bleak, this information is for you. If you are tired of scraping pennies and wondering if your website will ever be successful again, I am here to tell you – it WILL! I am going to share some simple secrets that will improve your website ranking with Google in a short amount of time.

Stop Watching Helplessly as Your Website Rank Drops – The Secret to Overcoming the Detrimental Effects of the Google Panda Update is to Update Your Website with Fresh Content on a Regular Basis!

• Do you want your website to appear in Google’s top search results?
• Are you tired of being outranked in search engines by low quality content farms?
• Are you ready to start experiencing the financial success that you deserve?

According to various research efforts, the Google Panda Update concept is really quite easy to understand. Google is all about creating a unique and valuable user experience.

Based on data derived from these efforts, it appears that the basis of the Panda update involved the large-scale “Content Farms” that wrote a large variety of articles and posted them online with information that lacked true value.

As a result of the volume of articles created in these so-called “Farms”, the companies started making a lot of money that was considered to be undeserving. Internet users started to discover that when they searched for topics that they were interested in, one page after another came up with the same type of information. As a result, they were left unsatisfied and issued their complaints to Google.

The ultimate goal of the Panda Update as a search engine algorithm was to eliminate the websites that contained a large volume of content that added absolutely no value to the internet user’s overall experience. When the Panda Update was released, it engaged in several different activities:

• It searched the internet for websites that provided content that was considered to be exceptionally low in value for internet users.
• It searched for websites that included information that had taken content – directly or indirectly – from other websites. Essentially, “Copy Cats”.
• In addition to the above, it engaged in the task of lowering the search engine ranks of websites that simply did not prove to be useful to those that stumbled upon them.

Website hosting is when you make your own website accessible to other people through the Internet. When you have your own website, it is imperative that you keep it as secure as possible. These days, the Internet is rife with malicious dangers of all kinds, which can adversely and seriously affect the running of your own website. Site security deals with making sure that your website is protected as much as it possibly can be from these external threats.

Website hosting is made more challenging by the prevalence of all these threats. However, there are some simple and common sense measures that you can take to ensure that your site security is solid.

One of the simplest ways of keeping your website secure is by not sharing your log-in details with anyone. Giving this information out to anyone else besides only you and maybe one or two other people who absolutely have to know this information for work on your site is risky and not advisable. This straightforward piece of advice can go a long way in protecting the integrity of the security of your website.

Adding plugins to WordPress is another simple but effective strategy for keeping your website secure and also making your website hosting a lot easier. These plugins are software pieces that help add functionality to WordPress’ blogging platform. As a result, they have the effect of also increasing the security of your website.

Regularly updating your software is an oft-repeated piece of advice that many people hear, and with good reason. Regularly updating your software—such as your anti-virus protection program—ensures that any new threats and viruses are recognized by your software. Consequently, if such external threats should attack your website, your software is able to detect them and prevent them from doing damage to your website.

Hackers are a threat to site security and have been for the longest time. Using a firewall to protect against these hackers by shielding your website is a smart and necessary precaution. The purpose of a firewall is to disallow unauthorized access to your website. It accomplishes this by way of denying network transmissions based on a predetermined set of rules.

Website hosting is made tougher due to all the threats that exist on the Internet. With the right precautions and strategies like the ones outlined above, you can still host your website, but do so securely.

Google recently unrolled some amazing new algorithms that bring us full circle. The Google algorithm that we’re talking about of course, is the huge hit that sites such as Ezine Articles took when Google decided that sites which house vast storehouses of articles, which are merely copies of the original and don’t really bring any inherent value to the internet, are lower in worth than sites which house original, creative content, thoughtful commentary and outstanding worth.

These things such as research, reports, original writing and worthwhile, thoughtful articles are going to be seen more fully and rank more highly for the keywords that they present.

We say, it is about time. Content is once again king and long live the king. Herein, excerpted from the articles which is located at the MARK FLAVIN BLOG are the very words used by the Google staffers and the explanation they gave for the hard hit that Ezine articles and may others took this past week. Here, in Googles own words…
“In the last day or so we launched a pretty big algorithmic improvement to our ranking—a change that noticeably impacts 11.8% of our queries—and we wanted to let people know what’s going on. This update is designed to reduce rankings for low-quality sites—sites which are low-value add for users, copy content from other websites or sites that are just not very useful. At the same time, it will provide better rankings for high-quality sites—sites with original content and information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on.”

So the results are in and Google thinks it’s time that we get back to content that will educate, inform, entertain, delight and offer enlightenment to the masses. Maybe there is hope for the internet after all.

If you were in a cave or on duty in another country, here is the original article so that you can check out what it means to Ezine and other article directory sites.

As a content writer, the desire or need to expand one’s vocabulary and knowledge becomes a given. Many writers here on the site have become quite accustomed to writing on a variety of topics.
