I installed Joost De Valk’s Sociable plugin for WordPress as is described in the Free Downloadable Software Review Blog  where they review and show you where you can download free software. I have to say that Sociable worked flawlessly. Instead of the large Digg icon at the top of every post, you will now see many bookmarking links at the bottom of my posts. I love it.

Sociable worked as promised and I can’t wait to see what else Joost has cooked up.

Choosing which keywords you want to be rated for is a large part of Search Engine Optimization. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of getting your website listed higher in Google, Yahoo, MSN and any other search engines that you are concerned with. Most people mainly care about those 3.

After you choose your keywords, for example I use “computer networking” for one of my keywords. Technically it is a keyword phrase but I think you understand. To get your website listed for a specific keyword there are a few things that you should do.

1. Put it in the title of your page.
2. Put it in the description of your page.
3. Put it in the keywords listing of your page.
4. Use those words in your H1 tags.
5. Use it as “anchor text” for links that link to your site.

What is anchor text you might ask? Well, if I have a link to my website that says http://www.bidenpc.com/ it doesn’t give me any credit for my desired keywords. But, if I have a link that says Computer Networking, it gives me more credit for those keywords. The link text that users see is the anchor text.

Creating anchor text isn’t difficult in most web editing programs. You simply create the text then highlight it, then click on the “Create Link” button and enter your website address. Then you have a link with anchor text that gives you SEO credit.

My next SEO blogpost will talk about the importance and rules of using META tags in your website.

The other day as I was reviewing my website keywords, I noticed one that looked relatively simple to achieve a good rating with. It gets a good number of Google hits per month so I started wondering how I could go about really boosting my rating with this keyword.

If a search term or keyword has nothing to do with your business, it won’t do you any good to be ranked high for it. You may get more hits but it won’t do anything for your business. It also doesn’t help if it fits your business but no one is searching for it.

But this keyword is exactly what I do. Biden PC is a Computer Network Consulting company so I decided to start creating links stating that. To be certain that I got that term in every page on my blog, I posted it as part of my default tagline then I created a manual tagline on most of my pages. I am still in the process of putting it on them all but it takes a little bit of time.

This is a big part of how SEO works. You find your keywords, implement them into your webpages and create inbound links to your website using these keywords. I am now using my SEO knowledge to boost my rating for the keyword “Computer Network Consulting”. I know that these things don’t produce results over night but I am excited to see how it work out.

Unless this is your first time to my blog, you probably noticed that the pages look different. That is because, as the title implies, I just switched my blog to WordPress. I was happy with Blogger for many reasons but I really wanted more control over my SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and that is something that Blogger just didn’t give me.

I’m not quite used to the difference between the two systems yet but I’m getting there. I think the two biggest changes are that the pages are located in a SQL database instead of in static webpages and the fact that I actually have to know a bit of PHP to change what I’m used to changing easily with HTML.

Please forgive me if the appearance changes a bit more over the next few weeks. I want to tweak it all at once so it doesn’t drag on too long for anybody.

Thanks for understanding!

Google, yes Google, could use a bit of Search Engine Optimization help. Part of SEO is making sure that your links are valid. I guess they think that’s a bit tough…

Click on the image to see it full size.

At their Google Webmaster Help Center they have a link to another page. This tells about their input on improving your page’s Google Page Rank.

This is what happens if you click on that link…

I just thought you might find that interesting… I did. =)

Since everyone wants more business, it pays to be on the first page of Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Website rankings and their placements are always changing which is why we must perform SEO. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization.

I’ve been learning quite a bit about SEO in recent weeks and I would like to share just the basics with you.

1. The wording on your page is extremely important, especially the H1 and Title tags.
2. Inbound links are are also extremely important. Not only how many you have but also what the anchor text (the text you click on that takes you to the link) says. For example, if your link anchor text says “Biden PC“, that will only get you SEO credit for the term “Biden PC”. That means, to find you, your prospective client must type in “Biden PC”. Instead, if your anchor text says “Computer Networking” (which gets a lot more searches per month) you will now be found under that term. The more that you get with specific anchor text, the better off you will be.
3. Who links to you is also extremely important. If you have a page that has a Google Page Rank of 1, you don’t get a lot of SEO credit for that. If a site with a Google Page Rank of 3 or 5 links to you, that carries more weight. But even better, if a site with a Google Page Rank of 6 to 10 links to you, that carries a whole lot more weight.

This is why I am enrolled to be listed with Total Blog Directory under their Tech Support Blog Directory section. It has a page Rank of 3 (which is higher than my page rank of 1) and that will help me to get a higher Google Page Rank.
