SEO Elite Review

I’ve been a user of Axandra’s IBP for quite a while and honestly never thought I’d have a need for SEO Elite. Well after seeing some of the things it can do that IBP and ARELIS can’t I changed my mind and took the plunge. The entire purpose of this program is to analyze incoming links to your competition, and to find places that might be willing to link to you. After all, if you can get incoming links from all the sites that link to your competition, you should be able to catch up with them on the search engines right? Yes.. If your on-page optimization is good that is.

SEO Elite allows you to check the links for several web sites all at once and select which search engines you want to chcek for those incoming links. This is important because MSN and Yahoo typically show a lot more incoming links to a site than Google does, so it pays to check more than just Google! This program also grabs a lot of information about the link pages and sites it analyzes. It will show you the Alexra ranking, Google PageRank, and number of outgoing links on these pages that link to your competitors. It also attempts to figure out the email address of the site owner, making it much easier to contact them for a link exchange. It will even check the IP address of the sites and filter the results to only show a single page on 1 IP address. This is because it is widely accepted that Google and other search engines track sites on the same IP address and discount multiple links from the same IP.

Another thing you can do is analyze the anchor text of the incoming links to a specified site. You might think that in order to rank for the term “purple banana” you’d want to get a whole bunch of incoming links with that anchor text. This is only partially true however. You may find that the site that ranks #1 for your target keyword only has a few links pointing to them with that exact phrase. The overall percentage of links with that anchor text is probably a lot lower than you’d expect. This can give you a great guideline for how many links you want with that phrase, and some other anchor text phrases you may want to try. Getting 95% of your incoming links with the same anchor text is a sure way to get penalized for over-optimizing your site.

There are several other ways that SEO Elite can help you, such as checking your link partners to make sure they still link to you. Oh did I mention that it can also send out emails for link exchanges for you? It’ll also find link submission forms. This program is very sweet and I am just starting to scratch the surface of what it is capable of. The only drawback I can think of really is that it is not cheap. SEO Elite is much less expensive than IBP though. I would take a bunch of screen shots and whatnot but you can see those here.

This is an extremely valuable tool in my arsenal now. It dramatically increases my effectiveness when looking for link partners. I don’t regret my purchase even for a second.

I’m not an SEO novice by any means, but I am still learning new things every day. A few days ago I undid some damage that I had caused on one of my sites over a year ago that was penalizing me. Unfortunately I have so many projects going at any given time that I didn’t really notice. Within a few days of fixing the problem my site came back to the top of the Google listings for all the appropriate keywords.

That one little thing might make me enough extra money every month to pay my mortgage. I’ve been doing this for a while now but it still amazes me when I see the power of small things on large scales. If you can create a page/site/product that makes $50 a day without requiring any work that adds up to $1500 every month.

Do that several times and you’ll be making a ton of money online without a lot of ongoing effort. It amazes me that everyone isn’t already doing this. Imagine paying off your car loan in a few months. Imagine paying cash for your next vehicle. Imagine not worrying about where the money for bills is coming from. You’d have to be crazy not to do it too.

Ok this this isn’t really an SEO tip.. more of a business tip. Keep an open mind. Don’t be afraid of contradicting yourself or changing your mind. A few weeks back I decided that I wasn’t going to finish my new SEO guide.. well I changed my mind back and decided to do it. After getting fed up with all the “marketing gurus” and their products that sell nothing but hype I decided that a real product that real people could use to get started making money online and achieve real goals was in order. I will be busy writing for the next several days and probably revising and editing for quite some time after that. I am also accepting a few people to get a free sneak peek at this product before anyone else.

“The world doesn’t need another e-book about how to make money online.. what makes this one different?” Well, many of the things I’m covering I have not seen in other books. I also don’t fill my pages with money making methods that I am not willing to do myself. This is truely aimed at people who have not tried to make money online before. The target audience is people familiar with the Internet. They may have even had their own web site at one time. Unlike most of the others I don’t promise people that they can make $50,000 in 2 months. I give honest advice about what it takes to be successful building web sites. This might not be an effective marketing strategy, but I don’t care. I am also not setting out to insult anybody by being a Jerk and calling them losers for being poor, unlike one ebook I’ve seen out there.

So, stay tuned for more information about The Wealthy Webmaster’s Guide to Making Money Online and Search Engine Optimization. ::cue dramatic music:: This is going to be big!

I just had a huge thought and felt the need to share it before I explode.

WHAT IF THERE IS NO SECRET SAUCE TO MAKING MONEY ONLINE?

After you’ve done a certain amount of learning it seems that you know what needs to be done to make your web sites succeed. Build content and get relevant links to your site. That is pretty much what it boils down to. The ways to do that are just details, which can be found in all kinds of public places. Blogs, forums, and other documents on the web are already jam packed with the things you need to know to make money online.

Or maybe the secret sauce is actually sweat?

Tables have long been abused and used to create the way a page is viewed. Typically this means that your navigation menu on the side of your page appears to be the first content to a search engine spider.

Your main body text may end up so far down the page that GoogleBot thinks many of your pages are the same, which is no good. With the div tag and CSS you can actually make it so the menu on your page is AFTER the main body of content in the html, which will dramatically help each of your pages appear to be different (they ARE actually different, right?)

• Another benefit of replacing your tables with div’s is that your CSS file only has to be loaded once, so it saves you bandwidth because each individual page is smaller.
• I’ve also heard that your pages will render faster since your browser doesn’t have to wait for the entire table to download before it can start drawing.
• Easy layout changes. With CSS you can move stuff around, change the size,color, whatever without having to mess with your html.

Moving away from tables can take some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it you won’t go back!
