<p>Among all internet marketing services available over the internet,  Local <a href="http://blog.seanhakes.com">Denver SEO</a> marketing is considered as one of the most needed service when  starting your very own website. Search Engine Optimization or SEO  marketing can help your website gain more clicks and visitors. <a href="http://www.seanhakes.com">SEO Denver</a>,  marketing may also lead you to the top of the rankings.</p>
<p>When your  website is on the top of search engine rankings then there is a big  possibility that it will help you generate more clicks for your website.  <a href="http://www.seanhakes.com">Local Marketing</a>, SEO is aiming on your potential client&#8217;s eagerness on  having a business. Google is considered as the most popular search  engine on the internet world and a lot of webmasters and businessmen are  putting their best efforts on getting much higher rankings with the use  of keywords.</p>
<p>When creating a website always remember that it must  be search engine friendly and make sure that all of your website&#8217;s  pages are properly indexed on search engines to be able to increase your  website&#8217;s visibility on search engine lists. Always check your website  for broken links, automatic redirects and having so many flash or images  on each page, and consider the content of your website that it is  helpful and informative for everyone visiting your created website.</p>
<p>SEO  is a continuous project or work and because of that it is very  important to check your rankings at least once a month and compare your  website to other foes of your website. It is very important for a  website that it must continuously grow in terms of content and size. If  failed to do this one then your website might fall behind to other  competitors. That is the main reason why you need to hire a <a href="http://www.seanhakes.com">Denver SEO firm</a> because you need to correct your local SEO marketing strategies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been reported that Google is considering starting their own SEO company. This, if true, would be potentially massive news for the <a href="http://www.sanjoseseo.com">San Jose SEO</a> industry.</p>
<p>Serena Shapero over at Newswire has stated that Google intend to get their SEO business off the ground by early May. Allegedly, Google&#8217;s SEO team would consist of about 100 employees, clients could be charged up to $25,000 a month and Google will have a team of SEO robots* to deal with poor rankings.</p>
<p>Allegedly, Google will promise only ethical practices but how many giant corporations play nice? If Google does jump into the SEO pool they will have a monopoly of the SEO industry and it will be nowhere near as fun as the game.</p>
<p>Small SEO businesses will surely be put out of business and probably some medium sized ones too. Will the SEO companies just take their business to Yahoo and Bing? Unlikely, seeing as how popular Google is with the general public.</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t handle the truth!</p>
<p>Okay, so enough of the scare mongering, is it likely to happen? SEO has been around for a while; if Google was going to do it surely it would have by now. Also, Google offers a lot of information to users so they can produce sites with high quality SEO, surely they wouldn&#8217;t bother if they had ever considered becoming an SEO company.</p>
<p>Some highly regarded colleagues of mine (and one I&#8217;m indifferent to) offered their take on the report. &#8220;Where&#8217;s the proof?&#8221; was retorted to the Newswire article. I&#8217;ve had a quick look on Google&#8217;s blog and if they were going to start a business in early May wouldn&#8217;t there be (at least) a bit of advertising? Another colleague said &#8220;this would just be like buying space in Adwords only you pay $25,000 for it instead of a few pounds per click&#8221;.</p>
<p>So, will Google be starting an SEO company? Don&#8217;t hold your breath (that&#8217;s just good advice for most situations).</p>
<p>By the way, if you&#8217;re interested, the state of Oregon is incorporating Google Apps into the education system.</p>
<p>*Quite probably not true.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You just started your own business and so far, so good. It&#8217;s been doing well, but in this day and age where information is king, you have to put you business out there and it means having an awesome search engine optimised website. Although you might have a working knowledge of how search engine optimisation (or SEO) works, it is still advisable to hire a good, reputable and the best <a href="http://www.seanhakes.com">Denver SEO company</a>. You might have asked around for the &#8220;<a href="http://www.denverseo.me">best SEO company</a>&#8221; from other business associates and you came up with one or two names but of course, you have to do your own homework too and figure out if these choices are the best for your business. Here are a few key questions that you should ask the best prospective SEO firm:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>What do you think about my site&#8217;s technical structure, on-page and off-page content and link profile?</strong> Ask your best <a href="http://blog.seanhakes.com">Denver SEO </a>company to make some observations about these three key SEO factors that influence Search Engine visibility in relation to your site, particularly link building.</li>
<li><strong>What kind of changes will be required to your website and will they be noticeable?</strong> You should expect your best <a href="http://www.iclickwebsites.com">Denver SEO company</a> to talk about on-page and off-page changes. On-page will require the subtle inclusion of the targeted keyword phrases in various locations on each page; off-page will require changes to your meta data such as your title tag and meta descriptions</li>
<li><strong>Since developing an incoming link profile is important, how will you develop additional links to my site? </strong>You should be looking for them to talk about quality of links as well as quantity and a balanced link profile including free and paid directories, local websites, government or educational institutions, your suppliers, and so on.</li>
<li><strong>Can you show me examples of your work?</strong> You just want to take a look for yourself that they can point to current examples of their successes &#8211; short competitive keyword phrases such as &#8220;computer repairs&#8221; rather than &#8220;computer repairs for left handed plumbers&#8221;. A best <a href="http://www.seanhakes.com">Colorado SEO company</a> must have a good track record to back up their claims.</li>
<li><strong>What volume of traffic increase is it reasonable to expect and over what time frame? </strong>Assuming that your site is technically sound and has quality original content, you should expect a 50 to 100 percent increase in quality traffic within about a few months working with best SEO company at the onset.</li>
</ul>
<p> A best practice SEO firm representative should also be asking you some questions. This enables them to evaluate you as a client. SEO requires a partnership between client and provider to get the best results. Here are some possible questions your top SEO company would ask:</p>
<ul>
<li>What are some of the keywords you would like to turn up for?</li>
<li>Who do you see as your major competitors, online and offline?</li>
<li>What do you expect from your SEO investment and over what time frame?</li>
<li>Can you provide access to your web stats or Google Analytics account?</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>Like in any business, you have to include money talk, such as you should also ask them how much and for how long. Ask your best SEO company if there are long term contractual obligations. You should also ask for a written proposal that clearly states every action and initiative that they will be undertaking soeverything is in order. The question right now is, have you found the best SEO company to work with your business yet?</p>

<p><strong>Lakewood, CO., – June 27, 2010</strong> – iClick Creative,      LLC., a Colorado based Local Internet Advertising Company announced      today the official launch of it’s iClick Chatback Service, a Live,      Interactive Sales Representative right on your webpage – here’s the      official release…</p>
<p>Live, interactive sales  representatives – right on your webpage!      Dramatically increase your  companies’ conversion rates, and only pay     for the quality leads  delivered to your doorstep.  iClick Chatback is     finally here….<br />
A strong online presence in today’s marketplace is quickly becoming an      absolute requirement for a business’ success.  Recent surveys show   that    approximately 92% of all consumers research products and   services   online  before purchasing them in stores.  It seems there are   only two   types of  businesses left: Those going online, and those   going under.</p>
<p>At iClick Creative, we ensure that each of our clients have      professional and functional websites to appeal to customers and generate      interest.  Next, we put the website in front of millions of viewers      through the use of groundbreaking SEO and online marketing   techniques.     Through this process, our clients receive attention from   huge volumes   of  qualified buyers with industry-leading conversion   rates.  While  this   process has proven to be extremely effective, we   wanted to find  ways  to  take client conversion rates to the next   level.  After months  of  hard  work and research, we are proud to say   we have found a  solution  with  dramatic results.<br />
iClick Creative is proud to announce a new service being offered to our      clients starting July 1, 2010 – iClick Chatback.</p>
<p><em><strong>How iClick Chatback works</strong></em>:  Imagine a      qualified potential customer who is looking for a professional roofer in      the Denver area.  The customer conducts a search through Google and      finds your website, right on the front page.  The customer opens  your     website and starts reviewing your “About Us” page, but he or  she  still    has more questions about your companies’ qualifications  and   experience.</p>
<p>With a slew of other roofing companies available on the web, the      customer simply returns to Google and browses for another roofing      company instead of calling to request more information about your      company.  Situations like this happen far too often simply because, much      like a physical retail store, many potential customers are hesitant    to   reach out to ask for assistance unless it is offered to them     (generally  in the form of a sales representative).  Situations similar     to these can  account for the loss of hundreds, or even thousands, of     potential  customers.</p>
<p>Now imagine the same situation, except this time the customer is      automatically greeted by a friendly online representative, right there      on the webpage.  The representative may ask, “Hi, thank you for    visiting   ABC Roofing, Inc.  Can I help answer any questions you may    have about   our company?”  The customer may then reply, “Hi, do you    have any   experience with tile roofing?”  Now that a dialogue has been    started   with the customer, one of our online agents may reply, “ABC    Roofing has   completed several tile roofing projects recently, but  each   project is a   little bit different.  Would you like one of our    consultants to call  you  to discuss some of the differences?”  The    customer agrees and  iClick  immediately forwards the customer’s name    and phone number to  your  business – turning a potential customer, into    a purchasing  customer!</p>
<p><em><strong>What are the costs</strong></em>:   Here’s the best part –      you only pay for the qualified leads provided to you by our agents.       Our modest fee schedules are designed to ensure a consistently  high     return on investment.  After all, our goal is to help your  business     thrive to ensure a long, continuing relationship with  iClick for many     years to come.</p>
<p>iClick Chatback services will begin rolling out on July 1st of this      year.  For personalized pricing, or for further details, call or  write     to us today!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently <a href="http://www.denverseo.me/2010/01/is-relnofollow-important/">I lost placement in Google</a> for <a title="denver seo" href="http://www.seanhakes.com" target="_blank">Denver SEO</a> and  ad a hunch the cause was related to my recent <a href="http://www.denverseo.me/tag/wordpress-themes/">WordPress Themes</a> switch. It took me the loss of rankings to really dig deep into my blog and find that the new WordPress Theme didn&#8217;t include <a href="http://www.denverseo.me/tag/rel-nofollow/">rel=&#8221;nofollow&#8221;</a> within my comments, giving me a pretty quick and significant loss in Google for <a title="denver seo" href="http://www.denverseo.me">Denver SEO</a>.</p>
<p>I quickly added rel=&#8221;nofollow&#8221; to all of my outgoing comment links and it took roughly two weeks for Google to re-index my website and preserve my prior rankings.</p>
<p>Is rel=&#8217;nofollow&#8217; important to include in your blog comments?  You bet cher ass!</p>
<p>Until next time&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>First &#8211; what is rel=&#8221;nofollow&#8221; and how does it work?</strong></em></p>
<p>Google first invented  <a href="http://www.denverseo.me/tag/rel-nofollow/">rel=&#8221;nofollow&#8221;</a> in 2005 as an <a href="http://www.denverseo.me/tag/html/">HTML</a> attribute  value used to instruct some search engines that a hyperlink should not influence the link targets ranking in the search engine&#8217;s index.</p>
<p>Plain and Simple &#8211; it&#8217;s used to help the linking from website, preserve it&#8217;s value and offer not link influence to the website it&#8217;s linking to&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>What rel=&#8221;nofollow&#8221; looks like in HTML</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><em>&lt;a rel=&#8221;nofollow&#8221; href=&#8221;http://www.denverseo.me&#8221;&gt;Denver SEO Company&lt;/a&gt;</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>How much of an effect does rel = nofollow really have?</strong></p>
<p>It all depends on the competitiveness of the keywords your targeting&#8230; Let&#8217;s take my personal <a href="http://www.denverseo.me/tag/website/">website</a> and <a href="http://www.denverseo.me/tag/blog/">blog</a> for an example; <a href="http://www.denverseo.me/tag/sean-hakes/">Sean Hakes</a>.com&#8230; I am working vigorously to compete for the keyword <a href="http://www.denverseo.me">Denver SEO</a>&#8230; There really isn&#8217;t much search volume for it; it&#8217;s more or so for fun and a game I decided to enter several months ago.</p>
<p>Several days ago I was ranking pretty steady on the 1st page  until I wrote an article about Home Improvement Contractor marketing&#8230; I included two hyperlinks to websites in which I would typically include a rel=&#8221;nofollow,&#8221; this time I didn&#8217;t and Google took what little link authority my website had and diluted it which in returned caused me to drop several positions in Google for <a href="http://www.denverseo.me/tag/denver-seo/">Denver SEO</a>.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it for now folks, a lesson learned &#8211; always remember to add  rel nofollow if your linking to websites that you don&#8217;t wish to claim trust for in the search engine result pages&#8230;</p>
<p>Ouch.</p>
<p>Sean Hakes</p>
