Bigger Nerd Than You

Just for the sake of argument, I thought I’d drop a quick post in this particular blog about being a being a bigger nerd than you or for that matter, pretty much anyone else I know.

I did a quick Facebook post about 10 minutes ago and am now timing how long it takes for this term to get indexed and rank by the mighty Google (update, it took 6 minutes from posting this and after 2 days, I’m now #1 in all Google regions as being a “bigger nerd than you). For those of you that have stumbled on this blog, I’ve been ranked #1 (as well as #2) as the “smartest guy on the web” since last January. How? or perhaps more appropriately – WHY?… Read more of Bigger Nerd Than You

Search Ranking Factors

I’ve been asked a few times from subscribers and in a couple forums what are the “most important” factors to consider when trying to rank for any particular keyphrases. I’ve demonstrated with this blog that with a little bit of work and common sense, it’s not *that* hard to rank for even fairly competitive terms. Don’t let the “10,000,000″ competing pages fool you! Chances are, 99% of them aren’t fully optimized and can be easily outdone in the search engine ranking battlefield…

Here’s a top 10 list as compiled by 37 of the world’s authorities on search engine optimization

1. Keyword Use In Title Tags
The title tag is probably the single most important HTML tag, not only because Google considers it to be a very important ranking factor, but also because Google uses the title tag text to create the listing’s heading (the blue link) on the search results. It is therefore equivalent to the headline of an ad inciting searchers to visit the site. … Read more of Search Ranking Factors

SEO Equalizer by XyberCode

SEO Equalizer Ticks off Two Major Search Engines!

I have to be very careful because what I’m about to tell you. This has upset the two biggest search engines and a major affiliate company in just a few months.

You see, SEO Equalizer really takes the mystery on how to get good generic, no cost rankings from major search engines and even the smaller, second tier ones as well.

I have used this for several months and generated literally tens of thousands of visitors to my sites… Best part, I don’t have to pay for those visitors. In fact you may have landed on this very page because of a couple of my promotions for various product launches.… Read more of SEO Equalizer by XyberCode

Tavis Explains Search Engine Optimization / SEO

Following up my last post about the “Smartest Guy On The Web” experiment, some people have emailed me and asked what exactly is SEO or search engine optimization – in simple terms.

In a nutshell, it’s basically the process of selecting the most appropriate targeted keyword(s) and keyword phrases related to your product, service, article, promotional offer, etc etc and ensuring that this particular phrase is going to actually appear in the search results when someone searches for your stuff. There’s absolutely no point in having the prettiest/coolest/most colorful/(insert appropriate adjective here) website in the world if nobody is ever going to find you.

Is Tavis The Smartest Guy On The Web…

I’m sure there are a lot of people who would strongly disagree that I could be in the running for the title of “Smartest Guy on the Web“, however the mere fact that I appear in the top results of Google for that particular term must mean something (?)… or should it?

First and foremost, ranking on the search engines – using VERY SMART algorithms I might add – is not exactly rocket science.  It really comes down to understanding that Google and most reputable search engines simply want relevant content that relates precisely to the search term that someone is looking for.  Remember how frustrating it was as recent as 3 or 4 years ago when you would type in a search term and the first 3 or… Read more of Is Tavis The Smartest Guy On The Web... | 1 Comment
