			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-104" title="SEO" src="http://philoseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/seo1.jpg" alt="SEO" width="525" height="300" /></p>
<p><strong>Here is what good idea of the types of conversations a sound SEO company should be talking about with you.  Others will simply take your money and run!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Keyword Identification &amp; Research</strong> - The first thing a good SEO company will do is discuss your proposed keywords andsearch phrases.  Using keyword research tools they should discuss and recommend the most appropriate keyword andsearch phrase selection for your business.  There&#8217;s no point having a website at the top of Google for a phrase which no one ever searches for is there?</p>
<p><strong>Website Analysis</strong> - Is your current website<strong> search engine friendly</strong>?  Website structures and how your website is built, plays an extremely important role in a good <strong>SEO strategy.</strong> Having the ability to program a website to tell the <strong>search engines</strong> who you are, what you do and where you do it, is just as important as the search engines being able to read and index content on your website.  A quick online analysis will help identify what they have to work with and will tell them what work needs doing to your website either ‘on&#8217; or ‘off&#8217; page.</p>
<p><strong>SEO Copywriting</strong> – After assessing your website, a good SEO company will mention this to you as they will have identified what SEO work is needed on your website.  If a so called SEO company doesn&#8217;t touch your website then you can&#8217;t be getting proper SEO, it&#8217;s a fact.  There are two types of SEO copywriting ‘on&#8217; and ‘off&#8217;.</p>
<p>On page copywriting is the use of appropriate keywords on a website that the you and I the user can read and off page SEO copywriting is what programs website to tell the search engines at back end of a website [predominantly what the user can't see] who you are what you do and where you do it.  A large part of off page copywriting is programming what is called ‘metadata&#8217;.  Without this, your website will never be indexed by thesearch engines.</p>
<p><strong>Competitor Analysis</strong> – An excellent indicator of what level of <strong>SEO</strong> work is required in order to achieve your online marketing objectives is to always analyse the competition.  The amount of time, effort and money that your competitors have invested into<strong> SEO including link building, article writing and submission,</strong> will always influence and determine how much you have to in order to achieve similar results.</p>
<p>SEO Link Building – Once your website has solid foundations, your SEO company should be talking to you about your link building.  Your website will rank higher up the search engines the more one way, incoming links from high other ranking website your website has.  This is often a very time consuming process and should never really stop.</p>
<p><strong>Feasibility Study</strong> – A <strong>SEO</strong> expert will be able to quickly tell you how feasible your objectives are.  Even if they find that your online goals are unrealistic and unachievable given either time, website structure or budgetary constraints, they should always be able to provide you with an SEO solution which often involves a staged approach in terms of both time and investment.</p>
<p><strong>SEO Proposal</strong> – After discussing all of the above with you, an SEO company should be able to provide you with you with an approximate quote for your SEO Solution.  As long as an SEO company is open honest and transparent with what they are doing and how they are going to do it, you shouldn&#8217;t go too far wrong.   The moral of the story is, if your so called SEO Company has not talked through any of the above with you, then it&#8217;s highly likely they&#8217;re not a proper SEO company and simply want your money.  What you do need are proper SEO experts from a proper SEO Agency.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-100" title="seo" src="http://philoseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/seo.jpg" alt="seo" width="300" height="224" />First, The definition of SEO</strong></p>
<p>SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, also it&#8217;s worth knowing that when talking about it you say the letters S.E.O rather than trying to pronounce SEO as a word.<br />
Search Engine Optimization is actually optimization of your website for the sake of search engine rankings: i.e. to make sure your website shows up high in results for relevant search terms that people are looking for. Also worth knowing when looking for a good affordable SEO company is the difference between On-page and Off-page SEO: On-Page SEO is what you do to the pages of your website to increase your search engine rankings. Off-Page SEO is things you do elsewhere such as building links to your website.</p>
<p><strong>Second, The impact of SEO on your business</strong></p>
<p>Search Engine Optimization comes under marketing but is an indirect way of getting traffic to your site, what SEO is good for though is getting targeted traffic to your website. SEO is compared to many types of marketing and even compared to other online marketing very affordable if you find the right affordable SEO company. The effects of SEO though do sometimes take some time to work and it is an effort driven activity mainly: though of course skill does come into it as well. SEO by making your website appear on Google and other search engines in the first few results for search terms that are highly relevant, and which a lot of people are looking , is a great way to promote your business: highly targeted and to people already searching for what you are offering.</p>
<p><strong>Third, Importance of On-Page SEO</strong></p>
<p>Keyword research is important, some companies will try to get you to the top of search engines for the wrong keywords. A good value and affordable SEO company though will focus on keywords that are very relevant to your website&#8217;s individual pages, don&#8217;t have so much competition that you will never get to the top and do have plenty of traffic, if this research phase isn&#8217;t done you could just be wasting your money. These keywords are then put on to your website&#8217;s pages, ideally not too many on each page and repeated a few times on the pages they are on. These search terms tell Google that your website is related to what people are searching for. Also important for on-page SEO is that the pages of your site are well designed and easy for search engine&#8217;s software to read when they analyze your site.</p>
<p><strong>Fourth, Importance of Link Building</strong></p>
<p>Off page Search Engine Optimization comes down to link building almost purely. An affordable SEO company will ensure that you have plenty of links built from relevant websites that are well thought of by Google and other search engines themselves. A poor SEO company may build you a lot of poor quality links that could actually damage your website&#8217;s position.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google has confirmed reports of a Panda update with us. Thye company told us they have done a data refresh of the Google Panda algorithm about a week ago, and added that there were no additional signals or algorithm changes. This was only a data refresh.</p>
<p>According to the company, the update was mostly an adjustment that addressed some issues in previous updates. While some sites have reportedly been negatively impacted, many marketers who notice a change in their site activity say traffic levels have been restored to near pre-Panda levels.Moreover, there have been no changes in terms of ranking signals, so Google suggests this is a fairly minor but important update.</p>
<p>To date, this is the 10th Panda update since the initial iteration on February 24, 2011. For SEO, the most recent is minor, but the company’s goal to make as many as improvement as possible this year should have every marketer with SEO atop the priority list on the lookout throughout the year.</p>
<p>A minor Panda update was issued at the end of 2011, but the most recent major Panda update came on September 30 of last year, Brafton reported. Like earlier Panda iterations, the change wiped out the traffic of many websites that produce low-quality content. Even some of those sites that had regained a portion of the traffic initially lost to Panda saw organic visitors plummet, which should remind businesses that content marketing efforts must by constantly updated to offer value in the changing search environment.</p>

<p>“I have heard from the critics and I take seriously their concerns regarding proposed legislation to address the problem of online piracy,” Smith (R-Texas) said. “It is clear that we need to revisit the approach on how best to address the problem of foreign thieves that steal and sell American inventions and products.”</p>
<p>Smith also released the following statement on Friday:</p>
<blockquote><p>“We need to revisit the approach on how best to address the problem of foreign thieves that steal and sell American inventions and products. “The problem of online piracy is too big to ignore. American intellectual property industries provide 19 million high-paying jobs and account for more than 60% of U.S. exports. The theft of America’s intellectual property costs the U.S. economy more than $100 billion annually and results in the loss of thousands of American jobs. Congress cannot stand by and do nothing while American innovators and job creators are under attack.”</p>
<p>“The online theft of American intellectual property is no different than the theft of products from a store. It is illegal and the law should be enforced both in the store and online.</p>
<p>“The Committee will continue work with copyright owners, Internet companies, financial institutions to develop proposals that combat online piracy and protect America’s intellectual property. We welcome input from all organizations and individuals who have an honest difference of opinion about how best to address this widespread problem. The Committee remains committed to finding a solution to the problem of online piracy that protects American intellectual property and innovation.”</p></blockquote>
<p>The move comes after widespread protest on the Internet on Wednesday by Wikipedia, Reddit and others. The sites signaled their displeasure with the bill by going dark. That day, several Congressmen dropped their support for SOPA and its Senate counterpart, PIPA. The latter bill has also been taken off the table for now.</p>

<p>Hacktivists with the collective Anonymous are waging an attack on the website for the White House after successfully breaking the sites for the FBI, Department of Justice, Universal Music Group, RIAA and Motion Picture Association of America.</p>
<p>In response to today’s federal raid on the file sharing service Megaupload, hackers with the online collective Anonymous have broken the websites for the FBI, Department of Justice, Universal Music Group, RIAA, Motion Picture Association of America and Warner Music Group.</p>
<p><em>“It was in retaliation for Megaupload, as was the concurrent attack on Justice.org,”</em> Anonymous operative Barrett Brown tells RT on Thursday afternoon.</p>
<p>Earlier, federal agents shut down Megaupload, which represents 50 million daily visitors, and four people &#8212; including founder <strong>Kim Dotcom</strong> &#8212; linked to the website were arrested in New Zealand. According to an indictment, Megaupload makes more than $150 million in subscription fees and an additional $25 million in advertising. It is said that Dotcom made up to $42 million in 2010 alone.</p>
