SEOInc.com Named #1 For January 2009

For the second month in a row, SEOInc.com was named the “Best SEO Company” by PromotionWorld - a company that has been doling out the award on a monthly, and yearly basis since 2005. SEOInc.com has been in the top 10 every month since the award was invented in 2005 (very nice!), and even though this is their second month in a row claiming the #1 spot, it is their ninth overall time taking it home. Nine time champs - way to go!

Congrats to SEOInc.com! Awesome company with a lot to offer, and with clients like Sony, AT&T, and other high profile companies, not to mention the constant barrage of awards they win, it’s hard to go wrong with them!

If you can afford it, of course

On another note, if you’re interested in possibly winning an 8GB ipod from PromotionWorld, all you have to do is head over to their voting page, and cast your vote for the “Reader’s Choice Award” for best SEM company of 2008. You’ll see many, many recognizable names on the list (SEOInc, Bruce Clay, SEO.com, HubSpot, etc…), so it is definitely the real deal. But hurry, voting closes tomorrow, January 14th, so get your vote in now and stay tuned on February 2nd when they announce the winner.

Good luck to all the companies and to the voters!

How and Why Do I Need To Do Search Engine Submissions?

If you are not sure if you need to do SEO on your site - ask yourself - do I want to make money from my site? If you answered a resounding yes, then you might want to take some time to consider that SEO in essence, is just like money, really! (Unless of course you plan to go the subsistence farming route and drop out to live in southern climates, somewhere you can grow your own food year round…). The reality is that if you are online doing some sort of internet marketing enterprise, then you need to start building some enthusiasm for SEO and other forms of search marketing. If you are eager to get plenty of traffic to your site and boost your page rank in the major search engines, then you have to promote yourself. The tricky part is making sure you do so in a manner that is suitable and measured by the search engine algorithms. On the surface this can sounds straightforward, but it can take a skill and experience to really balance this well.

To get your SEO on track you have the ‘easy’ part with the clicking and completing of online forms with the correct details. The ‘easy’ part is that it doesn’t require a lot of brain power to do this, the not so easy part is that it takes a lot of time and energy. The downside to the ‘easy’ part is that it is very tedious, boring and often slow going. To get it right you probably need to do a mass of manual data input, getting the right details in place for each article and each search engine that you are submitting to. The repetitious work leads a lot of internet marketers to start thinking - surely there’s a better way? Of course it didn’t take long before someone developed ways to automate this process and if you want to get your SEO happening a whole lot faster, then the use of automation would make things much simpler.

Nowadays, there are many software tools available that will now make filling in forms easier and will relieve you from countless boring hours doing manual submissions in a bid to boost your page rank. These tools can support the tasks with little user assistance, they can utilize the data you store and retrieve it to complete forms and submit information much faster than any manual option does. Of course the logical question then might be - why isn’t everyone using these tools if you could make a bunch of money online that easily?

The reality is, nothing is ever as cut and dried as that. To get really good results online, you need to understand how to create sites that look good and meet the standards that the search engines require. This is the part that is not so easy. To do this successfully, you need to know what is needed to achieve a quality site, what the search engine algorithms measure and how to maximize your sit for all this.

Experience is what tends to be the most important thing here. There are a lot of people out there that can give you further information about this or will assist you with this for a nominated fee. If you want to get up the search engine rankings, there are a lot of factors to consider. Be prepared for the learning curve and be persistent to get the results you desire. You could start today!
