Web Content Studio allows you to research themed content for your articles. This is also known as latent semantic indexing (LSI). Backlinking aside, creating themed content in your articles allows the search engine spiders to rank your web pages for long-tail keywords as well as for your target keyword phrase.
Web Content Studio allows you to find supplemental keyword phrases. The tool finds one word, two, three, and four word phrases.
In combination with Jonathan Leger’s Instant Article Wizard, you can create content that targets your LSI content for your authority sites. However, I was disappointed with IAW and I will continue to use article writers for my content.
Dr. Andy Williams will be providing an article writing service later this year (2011). The writers he will allow us to hire will already be familiar with the software. I’m looking forward to trying it out.

PageRank is a trademarked term used by Google to mean whatever they want it to mean. It does NOT mean, “How well your page ranks in Google’s search engine.”
Google’s definition as I understand it is as follows: The likelihood that a particular page will be found by following links from other websites. It has nothing to do with keywords search or how your page ranks for any keywords.
The value of PageRank is that you can pass keyword ranking value from your page to another page on another website. The PageRank value is distributed evenly to all links on your page, whether they have the no-follow attribute or not. To maximize the value of link juice given by Google to any one outbound link on your page, you should use fewer links.

What is the difference between Exact Match, Phrase Match, and Broad Match search results. That is a question you may be asking, so I have put together this short guide (with colorful examples) to help you get a better understanding.
Part 1: First, “Let’s Define The Terms”
Exact, Phrase, and Broad Match search results are terms primarily developed for the Google AdWords pay-per-click (ppc) marketing program. Thus, it is best if you first understand their usage from that perspective.
Let’s say you want your ad to show up when people are looking for the exact keyword expression: Red Tennis Shoes.
The following are EXAMPLES that will help you understand when your ad will appear, depending how the search string is entered into Google’s search box.
Broad Match: This will trigger your ad to be displayed with all the words, but in any order and with other words in the search query.
When you create your ad, you list your keyword phrase like this: Red Tennis Shoes
Example of what search can trigger your ad: Buy Tennis Rackets and Shoes with Red Laces
Phrase Match: This will trigger your ad to be displayed with all the words in the exact order but with other words in the search query.
When you create your ad, you list your keyword phrase like this: “Red Tennis Shoes“
Example of what search can trigger your ad: Buy Red Tennis Shoes on sale
Exact Match: This will trigger your ad to be displayed with all the words in the exact order but with other words in the search query.
When you create your ad, you list your keyword phrase like this: [Red Tennis Shoes]
Example of what search can trigger your ad: Red Tennis Shoes
You don’t want people to click on your ad if they are not your target audience, as they are less likely to buy your product or produce a conversion at your landing page. Also, Google may reduce the cost of your ad if the click-rate is a higher percentage, which gives it a higher “quality score”. It is, therefore, better to restrict when your ad will be displayed, and you don’t want your ad to be displayed for everyone and anyone.
One way to restrict when your ad will be displayed is by limiting the type of keyword phrase that will trigger it, Broad, Phrase, or Exact.
Part 2: “So What Does Any Of This Have To Do With People Searching For My Keyword Optimized Pages Using Keywords In The Google Search Box?”
When the end-user enters his or her keyword expression into the search box at Google.com, they do not use quotes (“..”) or square brackets ([..]). Google simply determines whether the phrase is exact, phrase, or broad based on how the keywords are ordered and combined.
When using keyword research tools such as Market Samurai that talk about Broad, Phrase, and Exact, they are (hopefully!) using the same methodology.
When you use Googles Search Box on their home page or in one of your browser’s toolbars, you have the option of how you enter your search query string. These are known as Google Search Operators.
Example: “Red Tennis Shoes”
When you place quotes around your search expression, as in the above example, you are using one of those search operators. This tells Google’s search engine that you want to find pages on the web that have that Exact Expression in the title or content of the page.
These quotes have no relationship to the quotes used in your Adwords campaign. Zip, Nada, Rien. They are a totally separate animal. So please do not confuse the two. Placing quotes around your search query expression in the browser is NOT necessary to trigger ads that meet the exact match requirement of an Adwords campaign ad.

I did a quick search to find How to get my Video to display in Google’s search results. Follow these steps and you should see results.
- Insert keywords into your video filenames.
- Host your video on YouTube.
- Embed the YouTube video in a post on your own site. According to Google, its algorithms consider how many times a video is viewed. Any time your video gets viewed on your own site Google adds this to the ‘views’ tally on YouTube. (Nearly every video that Google lists or blends in the search results comes from YouTube.)
- Optimize your YouTube videos for SEO by including keywords in the video title, description, and anchor element tags.
- Your videos should be posted on relevant pages on your site. Google will use it Latent Semantic Index Algorithm to determine what the video is about and for what keywords it should be displayed.
- Create a video library and/or sitemap on your site. Then link to the library and/or sitemap page from your home page. Be sure to include a keyword-rich annotation for each video in the library

I recently purchased a membership to a local seo course and coaching club called Mobile Local Fusion. As part of my evaluation, I found this article on WikiPedia about Laura Betterly.
Her blogspot blog is quite humorous and you should read it (scroll down to the pictures) if you are feeling depressed about the economy or your own financial situation… prepare to laugh
- The economy is so bad that I got a pre-declined
credit card in the mail.
- I ordered a burger at McDonald’s, and the kid behind the counter asked, “Can you afford fries with that?”
- CEO’s are now playing miniature golf.
- If the bank returns your check marked “Insufficient Funds,” you have to call them and ask if they mean you or them.
- Hot Wheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM.
- McDonald’s is selling the 1 /4 ‘ouncer’.
- Parents in Beverly Hills and Malibu are firing their nannies and learning their children’s names.
- A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico .
- Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting.
- Motel Six won’t leave the light on anymore.
- The Mafia is laying off judges.
- BP Oil laid off 25 Congressmen.
- Congress says they are looking into the Bernard Madoff scandal. Oh Great!! The guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $ 1 .5 Trillion disappear!
And, finally…
I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, and our bleak future, that I called the Suicide Life line and was connected to a call center in Pakistan . When I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.

In this article, Norma Rickman talks about how to use Autoblogs to find good keywords. Since the Google Panda updates, Autoblogging is not your best approach to monitizing affiliate links. However, they can still provide benefit.
An overlooked element of autoblogging is its use as way to acquire data efficiently. When you create fifty autoblogs in different niches, after 3-6 month’s time it becomes apparent by quantity of pageviews which keywords are getting the most traffic. You will begin to get revenue from Adsense, along with other vendors from these most viewed pages. You can easily find these pages utilizing the Stat Press plugin for WordPress as well as AWStats from your hosting company.
Yes, it does entail patience for this to take place. However when you autoblog, you don’t wait around. You are building other sites meanwhile, watching for still more pages to rise to the top.
When you see these pages which are acquiring good traffic with little promotion or back linking, you’re ready to begin promoting them in earnest. Ensure that you are building Web 2. properties for example Squidoo, Blogger, Hub Pages, etc. that point back to these most viewed.
Don’t simply link to the domain itself; link to the URLs which are obtaining the traffic. Build yet another autoblog to drive traffic to your Web 2. properties. Find some high page rank forums, build profiles on these forum that contain links back to your URLs (don’t spam, make sure to use relevant comments in forums.) You ought to start receiving a substantial traffic and click-through boost due to these manual back linking efforts.
Don’t waste all of your time building back links to all your sites; wait until they reveal potential. There are a few sites and some niches that simply will not convert, despite your best efforts.
Regardless of whether your sites turn into duds from the point of sales, they’re still valuable to use for linking back to your money pages. To get this done successfully, the “duds” should not be located on the same server as your money site.
Yes, the traditional route has been to build sites up slowly with unique content. But consider this: In the time it is required to figure out what converts in one niche, I have data for what converts for more than 50 niches.Once you have found what converts, you can then build sites with unique content if you desire.

I wanted to share this interesting article about the future of space travel. (The fact that it is so well written surprises me since it comes from an article directory.)
When man set foot on the Moon during the Apollo programme in 1969, this was considered the first step in the exploration of our solar system, allowing mankind to go beyond our home planet and find answers to questions that have occupied the minds of scientists, philosophers and visionaries for many centuries.
What was once science fiction is becoming reality. Many around the globe expected the 21st century to be one of space travel and planetary exploitation. However, the political and economical drivers needed to nurture and drive such advancements have been lacking since the end of the Apollo programme, shifting the focus of space endeavours from interplanetary to Earth bound and allowing for developments in Earth observation, telecommunication and navigation.
In the past decade, several national and international space programmes have been showing increased interest in space exploration. The United States, Europe, Japan, China, Russia and India have been planning and/or executing a number of robotic planetary missions. In addition, the United States has announced its plans to return to the Moon, and Europe has endorsed the Aurora programme with the ultimate goal of a manned mission to Mars by 2033.
Despite this renewed drive behind space exploration, the contrast with respect to the Apollo era is that the space organisations and nations involved are aiming to achieve their goals within limited financial budgets and at carefully calculated risks. This results in a ‘step by step’ approach allowing for the required technologies to be tested and demonstrated during programmes that include several technology demonstrating missions. The European Aurora programme is a good example of this approach, where each of its missions builds on proven technologies and aims to demonstrate new ones. Its first mission, ExoMars, builds on ESA’s experience gained on Mars Express, and focuses on demonstrating advanced rover technology, aided by the experience gained by NASA during the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) missions.
The above example also demonstrates another feature of today’s exploration programmes: International Cooperation. Driven by the need for cost effectiveness and risk reduction, national and international space agencies are seeking cooperation and enabling the exchange of knowledge, expertise and resources. NASA’s Mars lander mission, Phoenix, will be assisted during its descent and entry by ESA’s Mars Express orbiter for data relay, while ESA’s ExoMars mission baseline relies on NASA’s MRO for data relay. Such cooperation also extends to the scientific output of the various missions.
One aerospace consultancy, VEGA, believes that ensuring cost effectiveness, risk reduction and seeking international cooperation, are the key factors in maintaining the momentum of the space exploration programmes and their success. This requires advanced technologies to be implemented, not only on the space segments, but also on the ground segments, allowing for reduction of costs during the design, test and validation, and operational phases of the missions. Risk reduction and cooperation are assisted by standardisation, efficient interfaces and knowledge management, and effective training.
Recently, training solutions have been instrumental for some of ESA’s most challenging missions; with the implementation of a programme of sustained development to ensure they continue to meet the requirements for all forthcoming challenging exploration missions.
In addition to NASA’s vision to return to the moon, ESA’s Aurora programme, the European national lunar mission studies (Germany, UK, Italy, France), and the exploration activities of Japan, China, Russia and India, there are several entrepreneurial activities developing technologies to enable access to space for mankind. Almost four decades since the first landing on the moon, today we seem to be reminded of Tsiolkovsky’s words again: “The Earth is the cradle of humanity, but mankind cannot stay in the cradle forever.“

Here’s an article from SEO Expert, Jerry West, that I wanted to share with you and my readers.
Have you read in an article, a forum, or been told from an “SEO Expert” that they know of a “secret” Google Meta Tag that will increase your rankings in Google its plain and simple… either they are ignorant, or they are lying to you.
Google doesn’t have Meta tags; there are no “secrets” they are just attempting to “con” you into believing them. Beware. The only “Meta tags” that Google follows are the ones I’ve listed below and I have covered the options of how they should be used.
Googlebot: noarchive
This tag will not allow Google to display any cached content. To place the googlebot: noarchive into your web page use the following:
<meta name=”googlebot” content=”noarchive”>
Googlebot: nosnippet
This tag will not allow Google to display excerpt text in the SERPs or cached content. To place the googlebot: nosnippet into your web page use the following:
<meta name=”googlebot” content=”nosnippet”>
Googlebot: noindex
This tag is similar to the robots Meta element that denies indexing of your web page. To use the googlebot: noindex on your web page use the following:
<meta name=”googlebot” content=”noindex”>
Googlebot: nofollow
With the use of this tag it will instruct Google not to pass any PageRank or link popularity to the link served, however, Googlebot may follow the web page link and index the page referenced. To use the googlebot: nofollow tag on your web page use the following:
<meta name=”googlebot” content=”nofollow”>
Do you see any tag that will increase your search engine rankings? Neither do I. What these so called “experts” may be referring to is a Meta tag that will validate the XML sitemap feature with Google Webmaster Central, but that has nothing to do with your ranking in Google either.
Be careful out there, it seems there is always someone out there waiting to steal your money and time.
Recommendation:
You will not need to use any of these tags unless you want Google to do something specific with your website. The Google Meta tags that are listed above are some of the very few Meta tags that Google will even read, index, and obey.
Good Tip:
If you want Google to use the description that you’ve wrote in your Meta description tag, just simply place your targeted keyword phrase in your Meta description tag and Google will use your Meta description. If you choose not too then Google will take a snippet of content from your web page that has that keyword phrase in it. Most of the time, it doesn’t read very smoothly.
