Anchor Text Targeting or How to Balance Writing for SEO and Actual Readers
This morning I saw an article in Read Write Web(RWW) talking about Pitney Bowe’s latest move to convert your physical mail to digital documents. That article linked to an interesting sounding service called MindTouch. Clicking on the anchor text ‘MindTouch’ took me to another article on the same blog which talked about MindTouch and its services. The article was so well done that it compelled me to want to learn more about MindTouch. The only problem was that I didn’t see any links to MindTouch. Here’s a screen shot:

Avoid Competing with SPAM by Creating Relevant Content
Until about 15 years ago SPAM was just an infamously horrible food product and a horribly funny skit from Monty Python. But when the Internet got popular there arose a new, more annoying form of SPAM. Online SPAM is any form of shameless and tactless promotion of various products or services, and it has come on a variety of channels. E-mail was the first victim but that quickly moved to the Web. SPAM prevails and proliferates because it is so cheap and easy to create unlimited copies and send them instantaneously into the InterTubes. Even the most sophisticated SPAM filters can be duped. That means that the mission as a business owner is to rise above the SPAM. In Phoenix SEO many people work to get businesses to avoid being SPAM.

Google has made a considerable update to its search results page with the addition of Google Places results now appearing as though they are the organic result. Before this update when you searched for pizza in Phoenix the results showed a mixture of items between Google’s Map listings and below that the organic search results. Now all of that is getting mixed together.

SEO Plugins for WordPress that Give your Blog Wings!
SEO Plug Ins
WordPress is the Content Management Solution of choice today and is what I recommend all of my clients use. This is because it is Open Source, has a huge userbase, and is highly customizable. Today I wanted to review a few PlugIns that are SEO focused. These plugins are very easy to setup but you can also dive head first into them for lots of customization. Using these plugins will help your site show up for the keywords you want and get you more traffic.
What is Duplicate Content?
In a lot of SEO conversations I hear these days someone always brings up Duplicate Content and that you should be warning your children not to play with it amongst other things. They will have you pay them to fix your CMS so that you aren’t generating multiple URL’s with the same content and other things that I block from my hearing so that I don’t become insane. The fact is that Duplicate Content is overhyped as an issue and is only something to be concerned with if you are going to do nefarious things with it such as: copy someone else’s web page because you are too lazy to write original content, create duplicate websites with the same content thinking this will boost your SERPs, or planning to have Chuck Norris murdered(this is laughable just to type BTW).
