John asks…

How to remove my website from Google Blacklist?

My website is KlangProperty.com . Which is very new. I buy the domain 3 month ago. I didn’t play SEO trick or exchange link. I found out my domain was banned 2 week ago, because I can’t use Google Adwords.
I appeal in Webmaster Tool. they still mentioned I violated “quality guildline”.
I found out this domain has been register May 2010. Previous owner might have some trouble with this domain and dump it 1 year later. Any one can help and tell me where go wrong? how to fix it?
Thank you.

admin answers:

1.Review Google’s Webmaster Guidelines to see if your site might be violating any of them. This is especially true of their quality guidelines.

* Avoid hidden text or hidden links.
* Don’t use cloaking or sneaky redirects.
* Don’t create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content.

2.If your site isn’t in Google’s Webmaster Tools, get it in there and verified. Google Webmaster Tools has a wealth of diagnostic information that can help you determine which problems Google might be seeing on your site. This will help when going through the Guidelines outlined above, as Google will give you the information you need to determine which of these your site may have violated in order to get banned.

3.once you have determined what’s causing your site to be blacklisted, you can send a message through Webmaster Tools requesting that engineers at Google perform a review of your site to make sure all of the offensive content/links/images/redirects/etc. Have been removed and dealt with. This can take several weeks to accomplish, but if you did it right, your site should be back in Google’s index before you know it.

Donna asks…

I have a website and right now I can’t really afford to start an ppc campaign?

could I use Goggles ad word tool just for plain organic seo keyword research? One thing I don’t understand about adword is if you are bidding for keywords and for example I bid 0.50 for a keyword and someone else offers a $1.00 that means that person wins the word and I could not use it when I started a ppc adsword campaign? It may sound like a stupid question but I just don’t know?

admin answers:

There are many ways to market on a small budget. I have encountered the same problem and would like to help.

Contact my business at ilahmer@cincymarketing.com

I won’t charge and would love to help you out. Helping network people are a great way to get your name out.

Hope to hear from you and good luck!

Paul asks…

is it wise to generate a robots.txt file even if you don’t use it?

I am doing work on a website, there isn’t a page that I don’t want the Google Spider to crawl. Is it wise for me to generate a robots.txt file behind webmaster tools even though I don’t plan on using the Robots.txt file to block any pages at the moment?

Is it better SEO wise to just have on active on your site regardless?

Many Thanks

admin answers:

Are you 100% sure that you want all your pages to be crawlable? Then don’t create one. But as Mitchell says it’s pretty unusual.

Directly from Google webmaster tools help (see the source link for details):

“If you want search engines to index everything in your site, you don’t need a robots.txt file (not even an empty one).”

    Donald asks…

    should I prefer to create sub domain to with old website or develop new site to target market in USA..?

    Hi

    I need advise from seo guru with god experience on this issue.

    I want to target market in USA and want to appear on first page on Google with Geo graphical location to USA. The keywrods are very high competitive to achieve. I am little confused with website selection to target market in USA..

    Consider the two sites

    1. www.example1.com

    This site has PR 5 but the language is Germany and geo graphical market is set to Germany.The major audience is also from germany.

    2. www.example2.us

    the above site is new one and has 0 PR. this domain is new one.

    I have two different view for this two sites.

    first I thought that I will create sub domain on the first website something like this us.example1.com to target market in USA. I will set geo graphical location to USA with help of meta tags and webmaster tool.

    secondly , I have second domain with country specific domain name( example2.us) . this domain is new one.

    so which website I should select to target market in USA and to get appear on first page for the selected keywords which are high competitive.

    should I create sub domain on the first site with native language of Germany Or should I focus on new site with 0 Pr and country specific domain name. the keywords are very high competitive.

    Please advise me which one Should I prefer..?

    admin answers:

    It is hard to say depending on the actual name of the pr5 compared to a more targeted name..

    It is really more of an opinion for this although a pr5 is always better than nothing.

    I would just buy a new domain and pay a little money to optimize it. Pleasing visitors is more important than the search bots. If you need some low cost seo my site has resources for it, and a content feed.

    Sharon asks…

    Do xml sitemaps need to be installed in Yahoo Site Explorer and Bing as well as Google Webmaster Tools?

    I always register and validate my website in Google webmaster tools and submit my sitemap however I never do it for Yahoo and Bing.

    Does this only impact on my rankings and indexing for Yahoo and Bing? Or do Google pick up on it as well? I notice if I look my website in Yahoo and Bing I see different meta descriptions than I do in Google.

    Obviously Google is the main search engine so I’m not as bothered about the rankings in Yahoo and Bing but If registering and submitting a sitemap with them help increase my rankings I will do…..especially if it affects my Google rankings.

    So in a nutshell….does not having a sitemap submitted to Yahoo and Bing affect my overall SEO or just to those search engines?

    Many Thanks

    admin answers:

    You are seeing different metas because the way SEs compile meta snippets may differ. Best way out is to write a custom meta description and kind of take control of what SEs display in SERPs this way you are in control and you can write a pitch type of description compelling users to click through and find out more about your site or whatever it is you offer on there.

    Regarding Sitemaps, people will tell you that Sitemaps are great, and another group will tell you that they are worthless. Both are kind of untrue – they do help, in certain conditions.:

    - Your site has dynamic content.
    - Your site has pages that aren’t easily discovered by Googlebot during the crawl process—for example, pages featuring rich AJAX or images.
    - Your site is new and has few links to it. (Googlebot crawls the web by following links from one page to another, so if your site isn’t well linked, it may be hard for us to discover it.)
    - Your site has a large archive of content pages that are not well linked to each other, or are not linked at all.

    So if you fit into those cases, then why not create a Sitemap for all the search engines that you are targeting.

    If you aren’t to techie or if you have a big and dynamically changing site, you may want to take advantage of special tools that create sitemaps and automatically submit them to search engines – Google Yahoo Bing and Ask.com

    Linda asks…

    Does having .php or /index.html affect your SEO?

    I have a couple of websites. They all have sitemaps and are registered with webmaster tools.
    A couple of my website domains have .php at the end or .index.html

    IE – www.domain.com/index.php

    Does this affect my SEO ranking?? or does it not matter? I don’t know if it will affect the Google spider crawling my site.

    If it does affect my SEO – how can I rectify this?

    Many thanks

    admin answers:

    Google doesn’t seem to care about these but for users’ sake, for the sake of conformity and as a good practice, it is best to do a redirect

    from

    www.domain.com/index.php

    and

    www.domain.com/index.php

    to

    www.domain.com

    In other words, select one URL and stick with it, redirect all others.

    Jenny asks…

    Video Marketing SEO……………?

    I keep hearing about Video marketing and how it is becoming increasingly important for SEO

    Can anyone give me more info
    How can I start this? What tools are recommended?
    Any good website where I can get more info

    admin answers:

    Make sure users can comment, rate and provide feedback on your videos. Allowing users to provide feedback results in greater views for your video. Users who provide comments are also those who usually take action – these are good people to be engaging in conversations.
    Create a video sitemap for all your video content. Search engines can read these well and will easily and quickly index all of your video content.When people use search engines to find videos on particular topics they commonly use the word ‘video’. Make sure you use the words ‘video’ and ‘videos’ in your meta data, description, text and title

    William asks…

    Recommendations for a great SEO program?

    I’m trying to find a highly efficient and reputable SEO (Search Engine Optimizer) for my website. I’d like to improve traffic flow and customers. I’m tired of the marketing schemes that purposely mislead buyers. Are there any software programs that have proven results for increasing web traffic? If so, what are they?

    I know the tools provided by Google are effective, but I need a program that goes in-depth and tells me which pages need fixing, which keywords are effective, etc. I’ve researched SEO Suite and IBP, but those also came with negative views.

    Software with a consensus on its reliability would be greatly appreciated. If it works, then cost isn’t a factor.

    admin answers:

    Getting SEO Software? Get ready to learn SEO a-to-z!

    If you have already made up your mind about doing SEO yourself with SEO tools, then get ready to learn SEO the way that you’d never have to if you hired an SEO consultant. Note that I am not pitching for consultants here – unless you have a solid referral for an SEO service provider – stay away from them as the risk of being misled (and ripped off) is so much greater than with any SEO tools, even most expensive ones.

    Think of it this way: now I am an SEO consultant, now it’s ME who is in charge of my site’s SEO and I need some tools to help me with that. I also need to learn about SEO principles to take full advantage of these tools and make some sort of site promotion strategy (as SEO tools are merely tools, they don’t decide for me – I do).

    Getting SEO software? – Make sure you set your expectations right!

    Next, if you are already shopping around for SEO software, you will notice that nearly all providers tell you that it will be easy to do SEO with their products and that you will have top rankings very soon.

    When you read such stuff, please understand that it is no more than marketing speak. Of course software providers won’t go out and tell you “pal, our tools take time to get used to and you have to spend quite some time learning about SEO”. But that’s the reality – any SEO program that has lots of features demands lots of mental effort on the user’s part – otherwise you end up spending money on a program, miss out on more than half of its features simply because you don’t know how to put them to use. Soon enough you become disillusioned with the program because you aren’t seeing your site ranking #1 for your target search term as the marketing copy promised.

    Getting SEO software? – Get ready to invest!

    And my last word of advice: good SEO tools are not cheap – get ready to spend if you want results. The key thing to understand is that SEO software is tied to search engine algo’s. And search engines are one of the most complex mechanisms ever created.

    The more search engines the tools support, the harder it is to maintain them. Why? Because it’s been tested and documented that search engines change their algorithms approximately 400 times per year. On average, that’s more than one search algo change per day. Multiply by all the search engines that the software supports – and software providers have quite a bit of work to do to keep the software working, and working accurately at that.

    So yes, accuracy is the key when it comes to SEO tools, and accurate tools that support various search engines cost quite a bit. Now, they are cheaper than consultant fees but they are far from free.

    Also, as you will learn, there are online and desktop SEO programs. There are pros and cons to using either of these but while all online tools have monthly online subscription fees, many desktop tools have them too. Why? Because both cloud and desktop based tools still have to interact with search engines and the upkeep costs to keep this interaction (and accuracy) going are still high hence the monthly fees.

    Which brings me to your point on “negative views” – quite a few customers fail to understand that no matter if the tools are online or desktop based, search engine updates are vital for the tools’ accuracy and you have to PAY for this accuracy, each and every month. Owners of of desktop tools seem to get especially irate about such monthly costs and “rebel” when learning they have to pay for them.

    So if you are saying that cost is not really a factor, and if you understand the reasoning behind monthly fees, now you are ready to shop. I am almost evangelical when I recommend SEO PowerSuite tools (all desktop based). I honestly think they are great at what they do (keyword research, rank checks, onpage seo and link building): free version to try for as long as you want, paid versions with extensive features and clockwork accuracy (and paid monthly updates), and other bells and whistles. They go above and beyond IBP in many respects: interface/usability, performance speed, features, accuracy, search engine support. Download both and see what I mean.

    Also, the “Whats in your SEO toolbox” article listed in the sources has some great software recommendations and brief reviews of each program.

      So if you fit into those cases, then why not create a Sitemap for all the search engines that you are targeting.

      If you aren’t to techie or if you have a big and dynamically changing site, you may want to take advantage of special tools that create sitemaps and automatically submit them to search engines – Google Yahoo Bing and Ask.com

      George asks…

      Does having .php or /index.html affect your SEO?

      I have a couple of websites. They all have sitemaps and are registered with webmaster tools.
      A couple of my website domains have .php at the end or .index.html

      IE – www.domain.com/index.php

      Does this affect my SEO ranking?? or does it not matter? I don’t know if it will affect the Google spider crawling my site.

      If it does affect my SEO – how can I rectify this?

      Many thanks

      Google doesn’t seem to care about these but for users’ sake, for the sake of conformity and as a good practice, it is best to do a redirect

      from

      www.domain.com/index.php

      and

      www.domain.com/index.php

      to

      www.domain.com

      In other words, select one URL and stick with it, redirect all others.

      Video Marketing SEO……………?

      I keep hearing about Video marketing and how it is becoming increasingly important for SEO

      Can anyone give me more info
      How can I start this? What tools are recommended?
      Any good website where I can get more info

      admin answers:

      Make sure users can comment, rate and provide feedback on your videos. Allowing users to provide feedback results in greater views for your video. Users who provide comments are also those who usually take action – these are good people to be engaging in conversations.
      Create a video sitemap for all your video content. Search engines can read these well and will easily and quickly index all of your video content.When people use search engines to find videos on particular topics they commonly use the word ‘video’. Make sure you use the words ‘video’ and ‘videos’ in your meta data, description, text and title

      Recommendations for a great SEO program?

      I’m trying to find a highly efficient and reputable SEO (Search Engine Optimizer) for my website. I’d like to improve traffic flow and customers. I’m tired of the marketing schemes that purposely mislead buyers. Are there any software programs that have proven results for increasing web traffic? If so, what are they?

      I know the tools provided by Google are effective, but I need a program that goes in-depth and tells me which pages need fixing, which keywords are effective, etc. I’ve researched SEO Suite and IBP, but those also came with negative views.

      Software with a consensus on its reliability would be greatly appreciated. If it works, then cost isn’t a factor.

      Getting SEO Software? Get ready to learn SEO a-to-z!

      If you have already made up your mind about doing SEO yourself with SEO tools, then get ready to learn SEO the way that you’d never have to if you hired an SEO consultant. Note that I am not pitching for consultants here – unless you have a solid referral for an SEO service provider – stay away from them as the risk of being misled (and ripped off) is so much greater than with any SEO tools, even most expensive ones.

      Think of it this way: now I am an SEO consultant, now it’s ME who is in charge of my site’s SEO and I need some tools to help me with that. I also need to learn about SEO principles to take full advantage of these tools and make some sort of site promotion strategy (as SEO tools are merely tools, they don’t decide for me – I do).

      Getting SEO software? – Make sure you set your expectations right!

      Next, if you are already shopping around for SEO software, you will notice that nearly all providers tell you that it will be easy to do SEO with their products and that you will have top rankings very soon.

      When you read such stuff, please understand that it is no more than marketing speak. Of course software providers won’t go out and tell you “pal, our tools take time to get used to and you have to spend quite some time learning about SEO”. But that’s the reality – any SEO program that has lots of features demands lots of mental effort on the user’s part – otherwise you end up spending money on a program, miss out on more than half of its features simply because you don’t know how to put them to use. Soon enough you become disillusioned with the program because you aren’t seeing your site ranking #1 for your target search term as the marketing copy promised.

      Getting SEO software? – Get ready to invest!

      And my last word of advice: good SEO tools are not cheap – get ready to spend if you want results. The key thing to understand is that SEO software is tied to search engine algo’s. And search engines are one of the most complex mechanisms ever created.

      The more search engines the tools support, the harder it is to maintain them. Why? Because it’s been tested and documented that search engines change their algorithms approximately 400 times per year. On average, that’s more than one search algo change per day. Multiply by all the search engines that the software supports – and software providers have quite a bit of work to do to keep the software working, and working accurately at that.

      So yes, accuracy is the key when it comes to SEO tools, and accurate tools that support various search engines cost quite a bit. Now, they are cheaper than consultant fees but they are far from free.

      Also, as you will learn, there are online and desktop SEO programs. There are pros and cons to using either of these but while all online tools have monthly online subscription fees, many desktop tools have them too. Why? Because both cloud and desktop based tools still have to interact with search engines and the upkeep costs to keep this interaction (and accuracy) going are still high hence the monthly fees.

      Which brings me to your point on “negative views” – quite a few customers fail to understand that no matter if the tools are online or desktop based, search engine updates are vital for the tools’ accuracy and you have to PAY for this accuracy, each and every month. Owners of of desktop tools seem to get especially irate about such monthly costs and “rebel” when learning they have to pay for them.

      So if you are saying that cost is not really a factor, and if you understand the reasoning behind monthly fees, now you are ready to shop. I am almost evangelical when I recommend SEO PowerSuite tools (all desktop based). I honestly think they are great at what they do (keyword research, rank checks, onpage seo and link building): free version to try for as long as you want, paid versions with extensive features and clockwork accuracy (and paid monthly updates), and other bells and whistles. They go above and beyond IBP in many respects: interface/usability, performance speed, features, accuracy, search engine support. Download both and see what I mean.

      Also, the “Whats in your SEO toolbox” article listed in the sources has some great software recommendations and brief reviews of each program.

        I don’t know crap about SEO.. Can this help?

        http://www.seolinkrobot.com/

        Obviously I’m extremely skeptical about purchasing this. My dad’s been going through SEO companies for his business website, but after going through 3 companies now, he’s wondering whether or not it’s a good idea if he does everything himself.

        Questions
        Upsides and downsides to teaching yourself?
        How time-consuming is it to start from scratch?
        Are tools like the link above actually helpful in getting you up in search engines?

        admin answers:

        There are a lot of myth’s and truth’s with SEO. Depending on who you talk to, a truth could be a myth, or a myth a truth. It is possible to learn yourself, but you will need a mentor. Someone who has a proven track record, someone that can tell you what you are doing wrong and what to do right. When I learned from one of the best, I was told that it is a 20-40hr a week commitment that will take 3-6 months before you can compete for page 1. That was if you were going for the big prize / short tail search terms. After I successfully SEO’d an insurance agency to Page 1, he was right. So, find a mentor, and decide to listen to 1 person. Most importantly, check out their track record. If they don’t have any examples of sites and search terms, run away and find someone else. It is too bad everyone and their uncle thinks that they are an expert in this, because it messes up the industry for the rest of the good guys. Likewise, it is too bad your father had to go through 3 fly by nighters to have t make this decision.

        Oh, by the way, I do this for a living, I use NO software and do it all by hand.

        “all of the steps” – that’s perhaps a tall order.

        Here are some thoughts:

        1. Validate your site’s html and css.
        2. Don’t have an empty landing page..let it be content rich. Your landing page means a lot to search engines.
        3. Make sure that your content is full of relevant terms that searchers may us to search for you BUT don’t, don’t get ridiculous about it.
        4. Make sure that your content is really good. The best links that you will ever get back to your site are the links that you don’t control – when someone you don’t even know of mentions your site in some good website or blog without your knowledge.
        5. List in directories, both free and paid. List especially in relevant directories to your subject matter.
        6. Make sure you have an xml sitemap for your site.
        7. Make internal links naturally (i.e. With html) rather than JavaScript or something like that.
        8. Make use of lots of real text…images with text written on them don’t do you any good.
        9. Use alt tags in images (helps you get up there in image search) and title tags in links all the time. Images that mean something to the user, there is not use putting an alt tag like “earn more from stamp collecting” and then your image is a white background corner or something.
        10. Cross browser compatible html, css & JavaScript.
        11. I find twitter really useful. Don’t get too caught up in social sites unless you like them for their own sake. If you look at places like Blogcatalog, you have this endless stream of website promotion all to other who are doing the same. Most of those sites are not that great at helping you with SEO . Time spent making your site good is FAR more valuable to SEO than mindless promotion to those who don’t are just trying to do the same thing.
        12. Promote your website in your industry, through friends or even take out an newspaper add. On your van, your business card, etc.
        13. Really, don’t get to caught up in meta tags.
        14. Use a good analytics tool, use tools like Google Trends
        15. Write articles for other blogs and magazines where you get a link back to your site. Many people have had great success with this.
        16. Make your website look really good.
        17. Make your website usable.

        Basically, don’t go for techniques, go for quality and relevance. Market naturally as you would anything else.

        BUILD A REALLY GOOD website and you have done 95% of the work of SEO.
