The newly released WordPress plugin SEOPressor has caused quite a stir in the Internet market because of its claims to be able to bring any WordPress website of any niche to the coveted #1 position on the Google search engines. The SEOpressor plugin has reached quite the limit of popularity already with several tens of thousands downloads within its short promotional period itself. The product has been developed and marketed single-handedly by the SEO Guy Daniel Tan, who is quite known for other products within the same niche.

What gave a boost to SEOPressor in its early days was the fact that Daniel Tan managed to shroud its methods in a veil of secrecy. The results were there for all to see, but the developer did not reveal much about the method of working of his website. However, owing to a large public demand, Daniel Tan has become vocal about the way SEOPressor works.

The basic rule of working of SEOPressor is on-page SEO, which is done in a variety of ways. The plugin is a completely automated solution which manages tasks like calculating keyword density, formatting keywords for search engine optimization, calculating the SEO score of a WordPress Page to determine how well it will be ranked on the search engines, management of content such as posts and so on. These things would ordinarily take a webmaster a lot of time to carry out and even then they would not guarantee any results, but SEOPressor is designed to perform these important aspects of on-page SEO in an automatic and efficient manner.

Additionally, SEOPressor also performs a lot of analysis on WordPress websites that helps the webmaster to determine the real worth of the website. It analyses the title tags, the proper placement of the keywords, the images and links used on the page, the decorations used in the fonts and so on. By analyzing these features of the website, SEOPressor can rightly suggest any changes that need to be made so as to enhance the prospects of the website. Basically, SEOPressor improves the search engine ratings of websites, bringing them to the number 1 position on Google, which is instrumental on bringing a large volume of traffic to the website.

However, Daniel Tan is still tight-lipped about one aspect of SEOPressor, which is about how the top results on SEOPressor are always in complete tandem with the top results on Google Analytics. This part of SEOPressor still remains shrouded in mystery, but that does not deter it from being the most in-demand aspect of this software application. SEOPressor plugin is available here.

Daniel Tan’s site is the #1 ranking site against insane competition of 219 million pages in Google!

Getting to the top of search engine results pages is such a hard thing to achieve these days and even more so for a realtor.

Do a simple search such as “real estate for sale Orlando” for example and you will be distressed to learn that there are over Twenty Four Million pages on the internet competing for top ten positions in the SERPS (search engine result pages)!

This article is provided so you will find the real secrets of search engine ranking.

It is specifically targeted at Google but will also work just as well for Yahoo.com and Bing.com.

Follow these ten techniques faithfully and you will see dramatic results in your position over time for specific key phrases that can convert for your real estate business:

1) Key Phrase Research

Before you do anything else you need to know what people are really typing when they do a search  to find real estate and property for sale in your area.

To find out you need to spend several hours looking through the data provided by Google , Overture (Yahoo) and Bing.

To discover these gems you will need to use such tools as there are available  like the Google External Key Phrase Suggestion Tool and Wordtracker.

I’ll do an in depth guide how to use these tools and determine what you really must know in a future post…

2) The Importance of Key Words in the Web Page Title

Once you know which key words and phrases people are really typing then you should create pages that match those searches and add the phrase itself in the title tag of the web page html coding.

Place your title text in between the two title delimiters:

WHATEVER PHRASE & some other words

3) Meta Tags & Descriptions

In the non visible part of the html page there are elements called the “meta tags” where you may add description and key words relating to the particular page in question.

Notice I said to the page and not to the site?

It is important to always remember that what you are trying to achieve is a higher “page rank” not a higher “site rank”…

Simply use your key phrase that is the target of your effort for the particular page judiciously in the “header” part of the html code for the page i.e. in  between the part that starts “” and ends “”.

Here you will put two tags:

4) Image Alt Tags

Whenever you add an image to a web page you have the opportunity to add some text in what is known as the “alt tag” like:

<img src=””http://www.xyz.com/the” alt=””WHATEVER” />

5) Key Word Density

Try and achieve a “key word density” of around 1.6% to 2.8% in the visible part of the web page.

To achieve that simply divide the total number of words by the times you need to appear with your key phrase.

( Times Your Phrase Appears / Number of Words )  x 100 = KWD

E.G. Key phrase appears 7 times in a page of 498 words therefore your KWD is calculated:

4/498 = 0.014  then 0.014 x 100 = 1.4 so KWD = 1.4%

6) Key Phrases in URLs

Try to use the phrase itself as part of the Url.

Example:

If the phrase is “real estate listings New Haven CO”  then either put the page in a directory called ” real-estate-listings-New-Haven-CO ” and call the page “index.html” or call the page ” real-estate-listings-New-Haven-CO.html”

Alternatively you could also consider buying the domain ” real-estate-listings-New-Haven-CO.com “.

7) Maximize the Value of the First Link

Google reads your webpage like an English speaking human i.e. top to bottom and right to left.

The most important link to Google (the one it gives the most weight to) is the first link on the left at the top.

Many people make the mistake of making this link to “index.html” or similar with the anchor text “home”.

For a realtor the word home can work but better to replace this with your key phrase and make the link to “/” and not to “index.html” (see the next tip!).

8)Avoid Duplicate Content

Google will actually penalize your site for duplicate content.

The problem is that Google cannot tell the difference between a web page at “http://www.yourdomain.com/” and “http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html” and, although they are in fact the same thing, it sees them as two different pages but with the exact same content…

For this reason it is very important not to fall into the “index.html” trap!

9) The Importance of a Good Navigational Hierarchy

Google is very much for making the user experience the best that it can be and for this reason loves a site that is easy for the user to navigate.

To ensure that your site benefits from this preference you need to make the “family tree” of your site very intuitive to use by creating and using  sub categories where appropriate and by then ensuring that the top(s) of each tree have easy to follow links that descend into those subcategories.

Obviously the top of the tree should begin on your index.html page.

Create then a “site map” of all your pages (there are many tools available for free to do this like this one http://submitgooglesitemap.com/) and submit this site map to Google at  http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools

10) Competitive Key Phrase SERPS Analysis

You need to understand that the top ten sites that appear in Google’s results do so for a reason (or in reality for several reasons) and that it is because they best fit the filtration system applied by Google known technically as the “algorithm“.

Google applies logic and a convoluted recipe that dates back to its original patent over ten years ago where it scores a page or “ranks” a page based on several criteria (many of which are not overtly disclosed!).

The key to your success is in analysing the results that do exists and reverse engineering the possible “whys?” using diligent research to discover what evidence there exists on the web that could show the “hows” of a particular SERP result…

The most important thing is to know (and to understand) what your competitors are doing to achieve high rankings.

Again there is not enough space here to show all the techniques necessary here but essentially you need to work out what back links the page enjoys and then to reproduce the same quantity and quality of those back links to your own site and then add some more…

11) Good Quality Back links

Perhaps the most important part of SEO is in the development of good quality one way links or “votes” pointing to your web pages.

This is one of the most time consuming elements of search engine optimization as it requires literally thousands of these back links if you really want to succeed and finding thousands of site owners willing to link to you without you offering to link back to them is a very difficult thing to achieve as you can imagine.

Not only do you need to get several of them they also need to come from reputable places and getting the wrong kind of back link can actually lead to getting your site blacklisted in Google if you are not careful.

Do not be tempted to fall for the many offers to “submit your site to x thousand directories” or similar as more often than not you will end up with the wrong links from, very much, the wrong neighbourhood.

The key is to do it yourself or to employ a search engine optimization specialist who knows what they are doing. What you cannot afford to do though is ignore it as it is the area of SEO that can and will make the most difference.

12) The Importance of Video and Virtual Tours for Real Estate SEO Purposes

Making videos and submitting them to the right places can make a huge impact both short and long term to the success of your real estate business.

The success of video sites such as YouTube and DailyMotion to name but two shows just how popular video on the web is becoming. More and more people are expecting realtors to have video and virtual tours on their property listing pages…

The good news from an SEO standpoint is that there are three wonderful benefits of this and they are:

a) Virtual tours really do help to sell listings and can make the difference between buying an MLS listed property through your business or someone else’s..

b) The back link “votes” you can get from the more popular video portals is tremendous and, simply put, the more video/virtual tours you create and submit the more votes you can get…

c) Google, having paid $1.6Bn for YouTube is actively seeking many ways of incorporating video into its search results and more and more we are seeing videos and virtual tours on the first three pages of results.

(By the way if you aren’t on the first three pages of results you may as well forget it!)

Following these simple yet time consuming techniques will allow you to compete strongly with most of your competitors as long as they are not actively employing the services of a competent SEO specialist (most don’t) and, thus, you should be able to rank highly in time.

Yes it does take time I am afraid but with the correct strategies you can and will  beat your competitors to those elusive inquiries and ultimately to sell more real estate through your web site.

Unfortunately there is no magic wand or silver bullet to achieving real estate search engine optimization but careful research and due diligence will and does prevail time and time again allowing you to seriously generate more inquiries and more sales.

While some blog sites allow the readers to offer their comments irrespective of their quality, there are others such as WordPress that do not allow that. This is done by appending HTML attributes called ‘Do Follow” or “No Follow” to the blogs according to their policies.

How to identify the “Do Follow” blogs?

If you want to make creative, informative and useful comments on a blog, there is a simple way to identify the “Do follow” blogs.

Just hit on the View button on the browser page of the blog post and click on the ‘source’ from the drop down menu. It will open up the source code of the blog post. Then you can use the Search or Find function to see if it has rel=’external’ term near any comment. If you find one, it is a Do Follow blog. If you find the term rel=’external nofollow’ or rel=’nofollow’, it means you cannot make any comments.

Advantages of Do Follow Blogs

There are several advantages of Do Follow blogs. When you write unique, informative and useful content in a blog, it tends to inspire admiration or disagreement in the readers who are usually impelled to express their opinions by commenting upon it.

They may make some references to other relevant content either in their own blogs or in the blogs of others by providing links for further reading. This is how it should be. This is one way to widen the area of knowledge or discussion on the subject of the blog.

Another advantage lies in the optimization of the blog from the search engine’s perspective. The comments create back links for the commentators’ blogs. This kind of inter-commenting builds up an interactive community of bloggers on a particular niche or subject and a network of connecting links that are helpful for all the participants.

Unfortunately this kind of commenting has degenerated into a kind of spamming for promoting the websites for search engine optimization. The readers of the blog, instead of making any creative and useful comments, just add some inane words followed by links to their own blogs. This may be called artificial link building.

Some webmasters have developed software that can find out the blogs of your niche. All you need to do is to fill up the search bar with the niche words or phrase and you get a list of blogs in your niche.  Some software even provide comment templates which can be filled up in the comment areas to get the back links for SEO purpose.

While the “No Follow” attribute prevents needless seoing of useless content or spamming, it also prevents the publication of genuine and creative comments. Some adventurous souls have found plugins to circumvent even WordPress HTML commands for No Follow.

What is needed, therefore, is that instead of installing No Follow attributes, the blogger community should encourage its members to desist from spamming and contributing only   informative and useful content in their comments.

At the same time, the robots of the search engines, too, have become more sensitive to link harvesting and blacklist the sites whose webmasters resort to such unhealthy practice of link building.

In the ever rising and challenging internet space, businesses are ever ready for more channels to reach out to their customers. The net has served websites get directly to the potential’s home and so a lot of commercial enterprises are leaping on to World Wide Web marketing. However if you want to win this rat race you will ensure service of stuff like SEO content and search engine optimisation.

When a search engine crawls your web page it collects the info on it futher decides the ranking of the website for specific keywords or key phrases. For this reason it is very crucial that your site has original content with apt number of key pharases positioned in the right style. It is not only about your web page or your website but  any platform you put up content, the article collections, social media or PR sites, you have to watch that for generating the wanted events you must make use of good content. This proficiency will enable you maximise the visitors that your web site gets.

Well elaborated and intelligent articles when uploaded on the diverse web pages serve as functional inbound links for your website or web page. Now that the PR of almost all article assembling domains is reasonably high you’ll gain considerably with the search ratings. More than the SEO articles on the content web sites you may even think the news releases.

Once you lead off with the work of content development, you should even maximize on the several search words, try to have them at positions where viewers will find them more. You can even connect them to a certain web page on your site that connects to the keyword. Moreover you can make big the font for the keyword or also apply the bold use at positive effect.

Ultimately you should be cautious and comprehensive in order to ensure that the distinct keywords that you employ and the type of SEO articles you produce can be attractive to the combination, the search crawlers and also the visitors. Only a gathering of both may help you attain the results that you eagerly desired to attain with your internet commercializing project.

The purpose of having backlinks as an element of page rank algorithm is that people will want to link to pages that have quality content. The more the number of backlinks a site has, the better it is. However, practically speaking, you cannot be relying on the fact that your website content is of high quality and therefore people will link to it.

No doubt if your site has the most relevant and high quality content, you can get many quality backlinks including from websites that contain themes similar to yours. Nonetheless, getting such inbound links may not always be easy and require a lot of efforts, therefore, you may want to look out for other ways to get quality backlinks.

Ways to Build Your Backlinks
Even if you manage to get lots of backlinks in a natural way, it is never a bad idea to welcome additional quality inbound links. There are several ways for acquiring backlinks which may be ethical while other ways may be illegitimate and unacceptable and can lead to your site being penalized in the long run. The legitimate ways of getting backlinks include directory submissions, forum posting, linking to other blogs, press releases, etc. Among the unacceptable ways are linking to link farms, buying links in large quantities, getting linked to websites hosting illegal content, linking to other websites that belong to the same person, etc.

To start building backlinks, the first step would be to identify sites from where you can acquire quality backlinks. This can be done with the help of Backlink Builder tool which generates a list of websites on entering keywords. Once you get the list of potential sites where you can post messages, articles, or backlinks to your website, the choice is up to you to visit these sites and start posting your content along with an inbound link to your website in it.

You may have a question about how websites generated by the backink building tool can provide backlinks free of cost. The answer to your question simply lies in the fact that such sites need content for their site. With you posting and feeding them with content without getting paid for it, helps you to get free quality backlinks in return from them. It is like free trading where you offer something required by others for free and get what you want for free. However, this free trading lasts as long as you post your content to sites that are respected and also as long as you do not end up posting fake content.

Below are some of the most successful methods that can be used to build backlinks.

Directory Submission
Getting your site listed in various directories is one of the basic steps that you should start with in your efforts to build backlinks. It may be unlikely to get any significant traffic through directories; however, the idea here is to get backlinks to improve your page ranking.

There are several directories to which your site can be submitted. These can range from general directories, blog directories, SEO friendly directories to non-reciprocal directories (directories that allow you to list your website in their directory even if you do not link back to them). Additionally, it is important that you submit your site to only those directories that have a high page rank.

It is also important to know that listing a site in directories is a time consuming process as it requires you to first find out quality directories to which you want to submit your site. Once this is done, you have to search through the categories and sub categories in these directories to find out the specific category to which your website belongs. Therefore, keeping the time constraint in mind, it is a good idea to hire a professional SEO company that provides directory submission services so that you can save time and concentrate your efforts and resources on your other core business functions.

Forum or Blog Posting and Article Directories
Forum posting and Blog posting is another way of getting quality backlinks to your site because search engines usually index forums as well. Getting backlinks from blogs or forums that are reputed can be very helpful. However, at times there could be a possibility of your post being edited or deleted by the forum administrator if they find that your posting does not adhere to the forum policy. Moreover, there may be times when the administrators may not allow any links in posts until they are totally relevant.

While posting in forums and blogs can be done faster and require lesser efforts, submission of articles to various directories can take a very long time since articles are longer when compared to posts and also involve a though process to write them. However, it would still be worth the time and effort in the long run.

Press Releases and News Announcements
Though this is not a day to day practice to build quality backlinks, it does fetch good results if done the right way. There are several websites out there which publish press releases or news announcements free of cost or may charge a fee. A press release that is well written can boost visitor traffic to your site and also a backlink from a reputed site to your site is a value addition to your entire SEO efforts. However, a press release can be used as a medium only if there is something newsworthy. That is the reason why press releases and news announcements do not factor in as a daily way to build backlinks.

Content Exchange
Content exchange can also be very helpful in getting you quality backlinks. For example, you can provide free RSS feeds to websites that are interested in them. When your RSS feed gets published by the other site, you will get an inbound link to your website. This will also drive a lot of visitor traffic that will visit your website to get more details on the headlines and abstract they read on this other site.

Creating Quality Content
Creating professional and quality content is also very important to get more backlinks to your site. This is because content that is well written is always noticeable and there would be more number of people who would want to link to it.

Leaving Comments
To create awareness and get visibility for your site, you can also leave comments on others blogs. Leaving comments that are appealing to read will always have a good chance of drawing the attention of more people to your site.

Practices to Avoid While Building Backlinks
There are several ways in which links can be built, however, it is important to realize that certain link building ways can ruin your SEO efforts. One such practice to avoid is link exchange, wherein, when you place a link on another website, that website in return will place a backlink to your website. There are a few things to be considered with this concept of link exchanging. First is the ratio between inbound and outbound links. Having more outbound links than inbound links is not good. Second, there could be a possibility of your link partner being a link farm. In this case, your site can get penalized or banned by search engines as link farms are considered as unethical SEO practice.

Additionally, you must also be careful about linking to sites that are suspicious or host illegal content. Though search engines will not penalize you for having backlinks from such websites, since you do not have control over what they link to, linking with such sites can ruin your SEO efforts.

An early black hat trick was to fill in all the white space on the page with the page keyword in white font color (white letters on a white background). If the page was viewed on the screen, it looked normal with five or six keyword occurrences, but if you looked at the HTML, you would see the keyword on the page say 300 times.

The idea was to use visual design and color to trick the human eye into not seeing a page loaded with keywords but to make it seem to the search engines that you are loaded with keywords.

Create a site which attracts viewers. On the other hand, you should place the menu bar and the graphic header on a similar location at each page. If the design of your site is interesting for the viewers, then they will keep on returning to your site. If you are not able to keep the users who visit your site, it means that your SEO is not effective at all.

The information erases all over and under expectations. It keeps the balance between what the company is going to do and what you want to achieve. Some webmasters are expecting for an overnight result on their search engine optimisation campaign.

You also need to determine whether this person has the clout – or access to those who have the clout – to get the necessary changes to the website made and to get buy in for the entire SEO initiative.

Comment Tags are used to include design notes in the background source code when creating a website page. Comment tags are supposed to be used only for adding instructions or reminders to your html code; previously, these tags were used to artificially increase the keyword phrase count / proximity for targeted keyword phrases.

Google considers page rank through link analysis, the more web pages that link to your website the higher the ranking. Some webmasters may create multiple websites at different domain names that all link to one another. This is the worst form of back hat seo techniques.

That first website has since been purchased by another, but not before they removed those links from the page. Which only happened after they had secured a strong position in the SERPs. Was this a calculated maneuver? Was it meant to push the boundaries of good SEO and then dispose of the evidence before a search engine could ban them? Maybe. But we’ll likely never know.

It is not hard to build a web page that follows the rules and does not break accepted webmaster guidelines. There are 5 Beginner, 5 Intermediate and 5 Advanced SEO techniques that can help in your SEO efforts. However, these 5 abuses will get a web site banned if and when it is crawled by a search engine, or reported by a web surfer

Another reason for a fall in your reputation may be the smear campaign launched by your competitors against you. They may tarnish your name and your business without any valid reason or fault on your part.

This kind of injustice is a common phenomenon in the internet marketing. Your competitor writes just one article against you and submits it to hundreds of directories.

Alternately, your adversary sponsors AdWords ads against your site on the first page of some popular search engine. The ad may be somewhat like this: Be Careful Of This Fraud (keyword). This is sufficient to annul years of hard work put in by you to bring your business to its present level.

Taking steps to maintain and further boost your reputation as an honest businessman in such circumstances is called online reputation management.

One way to persuade your competitor is to request him politely to remove the offending comments and then threaten him with legal action if he still persists. If this tactic also fails, it would be better to fight him out at his own ground, that is, by playing the SEO game with him.

You can try to push the page/site with offensive comments to the second results page of search engine, for example, Google.  This can be achieved through several steps;

1. Push other sites that have lower rank than your competitor’s site above it on the Google research page. Assuming the site with the negative comments against you ranks fourth on Google page, you should try to boost the rank of the sites below it to supersede it to a higher rank.

You can do so by applying SEO techniques. You can, for example, add favorable comments on this site. Book mark it in as many social media sites such as Technocrati, Digg, Delicious etc as possible. You may even write positive reviews about it on the home page of your site by placing links at suitable places.

2. Ask someone you know who commands authority for his site to write a good review for your site and publish the same on your home page saying: What others are saying about us.

3. Create new content and syndicate it through articles, blogs, newsletters, etc for seoing your own site. You may also submit the content for syndication through RSS feeds. In this way you can indirectly persuade the audience to ignore the comments against your site.

4. Create new sub-domains or sister domains of your site. Google often considers the sub-domains as different sites, but they command the same authority as the primary domain. Post preferably new content on the sub-domain site. You need not fill it with hundreds of pages. Just 10-12 pages should suffice.

Reputation management basically involves delivering (sometimes over-delivering) what you promise in terms of quality and quantity. Once this trust is built up, it is difficult for your adversaries to shake it.
