Make Your Web Site Obtain A Top Ranking In Google

To make ranked for your site in Google you’d have to obtain links for your web site. You would also need to have your keyword “anchor linked” to your site. Anchor linking is when you apply your keyword phrase as the text for a link that you can click. Another point to consider is determining what keyword you want to apply to make your site found. When you start optimizing your site, you should concentrate on more targeted keyword phrases. If you would link to a web page without umbral content, Google would view this link as probable spam, or irrelevant content. Once you have created your list of keywords, you have to see which one are searched on the most with the aid of WordTracker.

Search Engine Optimization Services

We Aadhocc Technologies, the professional seo company is delighted to take the opportunity to assist you in building a stronger internet presence with good traffic.

Steps/Activities

Analysis of current website and suggestions for improvement from an SEO perspective.
• Industry and competitor analysis: In order to create an effective website we must thoroughly understand your business, competitors, customers, and industry. We will spend time analyzing competitor websites, comparable websites etc

• Keyword analysis: We will conduct a keyword analysis for your business. We will analyze keywords based on: number of searches, competition, keyword relevancy, logic, etc. What we would recommend is not to focus on general keywords such as Supplies, Online supplies, Furniture etc. We will go for keywords where there is a chance of better conversion. People tend to search for general keywords at the start of their search, but they would tend to go for more specific keywords once they have decided what they want.

On-page Optimization

Domain & File Names:
Choose your site domain name that contains words from your primary keyword phrase. Your domain name should also be easy to spell and easy to remember. You keyword phrase also should in many cases go in your file name. Read this thread Keywords in the URL from SEO Chat Forum.
For example I use the file name seo-techniques.html for this page.
Keyword Phrases:
Use keywords that are being searched for. You can check your keyword phrases with either theSearch Term Suggestion Tool or the Overture Keyword Popularity Tool to find out how often they are being searched. You can also look at Google AdWords Keyword Suggestions for suggestions for different keyword phrases.
Add keyword synonyms to your content.
Put the keyword phrases in the keyword phrase .
Insert the keyword phrases in a

keyword phrase

tag at the beginning of your page. Keyword synonyms should be put in your h2 & h3 tags. The h1, h2, h3 tags are used for titles and subtitles in articles.
Make sure you use your keyword phrases from the page you are linking to, in your anchor text on the site map. i.e. SEO Techniques.
Keyword Density:
Keyword density is a very important part of search engine optimization. Keyword density is the percent that your keyword or keyword phrase are of your web page text. You may want to look that your competition to see what keyword density they are using. To high a keyword density will be considered search engine spam and can get you blacklisted.
Your keywords should be toward the top of your page and your keyword phrase be in either every paragraph or every second paragraph depending on your paragraph length.
Bad Techniques:
Bad search engine optimization techniques can get you blacklisted from a search engine. Some techniques that are considered spam are cloaking, invisible text, tiny text, identical pages, doorway pages, refresh tags, link farms, filling comment tags with keyword phrases only, keyword phrases in the author tag, keyword density to high, mirror pages and mirror sites.
While these techniques might work to give you a higher ranking for short time in the long run they will hurt you.
Google has a good article on Google information for webmasters that is very imformative if you are considering Getting a SEO Company to so work on your website.
Title & Meta Description Tag:
Construction of your title tag is one of the most important things you need to do. Each page should have a different title with 2 or 3 of your keyword phrases at the beginning. When search engine results are displayed the title is the first thing people see.
Below the title is a description which will be either be taken from your meta name description content="Description phrase" or from the first sentence on at page. You description should also have 2 or 3 of your keyword phrases at the beginning as so should your first sentence. You should have a different title, description and first sentence on each page. You many also what to try shorter titles with only one keyword or keyword phrase as this will raise you keyword relevance. Also you can consider putting your domain name at the very end of the title.
Meta Keywords Tag:
The meta keywords tag is not as relevant as it used to be and some say Google doesn't ever look at it anymore, but put it in anyway. It is as follows, and put in it all your keywords and keyword phrases. This tag should be different for each page.
Author & Robots Tags:
The Author Tag should contain the name of the company that owns the site. This tag will help you get a #1 position for your company's name.

Use a generic Robots Tag on all pages that you want indexed. This instructs the robots to crawl the page. The following is the generic robots tag.

Quality Content:
Quality content will bring people back and as people always want to tell others about a good thing it will get you forward links from other sites. Your content should be written with your keyword phrases in mind
Quantity Content:
The more the better. Just remember your content will need to be both quantity and quality.
Changing Content:
You can do this by hand or with a script. For example you can have a php script that draws five paragraphs from a pool of twenty paragraphs when the content is different each time the php page is accessed.
www.carsinlondon.com/used-cars-london-ontario.php shows a sample of php script that will do this.
Avoid Dynamic URLs:
Are you pages via php, asp, or cf? Some search engines may have a problem indexing them. Create static pages whenever possible. Avoid symbols in your URLs like the "?" that you will often find in php, asp or cf pages.
Static pages are the best but if you have a db driven site, make sure the menu and site map like go to inventory.cfm not inventory.cfm?vn=0 .
Frames:
Many search engines can't follow frame links. Make sure you provide an alternative method for the search engines to enter and index your site. For more information read Search Engines and Frames.
Site Map:
A good menu system is really a site map. A well constructed menu system that is on each page and contains a link to very page on the website is all you need.
Site Themes:
All of the top 3 search engines look for site themes or a common topic when they crawl a website. If your site is about one specific topic you will rank better than if you have more than one theme or topic on your site. By using similar keyword phrases in each page the search engines will detect a theme this will be to your advantage.
Site Design:
You may think, what does site design have to with search engine optimization. Well if your website has a bad color scheme that is hard to read, is not organized, is a cheesy looking site, then all your site optimization has been a waste of time. Make your site attractive to the viewer, make things easy to find, have you graphic header and menu bar the same place on each page.
These things will keep your visitors on the site and bring them back. A well optimized site with a high search engine results position that is ugly and is hard find information on, will not keep the visitors your optimization has brought to the site.
Use W3C Link Checker to make sure all your page links are good. If you have broken links on your site this can effect the ranking you are given.
Put a proper doctype on each page. If you don't have a proper doctype on each page Internet Exployer will go into quirks mode and display it different.
Use The W3C Markup Validate Service to verify that your pages are Validate HTML or XHTML code. The W3C validation will verify that your HTML or XHTML is not broken. This validation show you any broken code that could cause your webpages from displaying properly in all the different browsers and browser versions.
Separate Content & Presentation:
Put all your presentation code into Cascading Styles Sheets (CSS). This separates the presentation from the content and makes your html files up to 50% smaller. It is reported that the search engine bots prefer this and the more content you have compared to presentation in your file, the better you get rated. Read why tables for markup are stupid for an overview.
Robots.txt File:
While this file is not really required it should be included so that the search engine bots don't get 404 errors when they look for it. Just include the following 2 lines and drop it in the root.
User-agent: *

Bing SEO is different from Google SEO

Bing is adjusting its search engine requirements to differentiate it from Google.

For Bing, search engine optimization (SEO) means creating an informative site that will be helpful for browsers. In order to top the Bing search rankings, SEO campaigns must focus on creating a site that has useful information for a targeted audience.

There are many discrepancies when a site wants to optimize for Bing. First and foremost, keyword frequency will be less compared to optimizing for Google. Plus, sites need to apply well-crafted codes in all the pages of the site.

Another helpful tip is to look for authoritative backlinks for a Website. For Bing, a site’s authority is measured by relevancy and helpfulness.

On the other hand, the Bing link building search engine is similar to Google. Apart from backlinks, linking to other relevant sites will also help in optimizing a Website for Bing.

For more SEO information on Bing, the search engine has posted index guidelines in its home page. The guideline discusses technical information about the site’s index system. If they are followed, a site will easily be able to rank high on the Bing search engine.

Mixing and matching content and SEO

You can find anything on the internet. Writers around the world write about any topic under the sun, and they post it on the internet—making it a huge sea of knowledge.

However, in order for articles to be read, it needs to be found in the vast Web. To do this, internet content needs search engine optimization (SEO).
All the experts know that without a comprehensive SEO campaign, an online article will die.

How do you optimize content? Simple—use keywords. This is basic for any online site. A site uses specific keywords and key phrases targeted at an audience.

A browser will type in the keyword or key phrase in a search engine, which will rank relevant sites for the browser. However, keyword placement is not as easy as it seems.

Today’s search engine have complicated algorithms that can discern whether content is relevant or irrelevant. When you start sputtering keywords all over an article (ruining creative integrity in the process), search engines become more suspicious about your article. Hence, there’s a high chance that the search engine will not rank your site high for that particular keyword.

That’s why big online companies choose to pass content creation to SEO firms, whom have a great understanding of how to integrate SEO techniques with content.

For others, however, keyword placement is one quick way to kill creativity. It puts structure on creative content, prioritizing a term—not because it is right—but because it is frequently searched.

A great SEO campaign will be able to balance it out. Integrate good content with SEO techniques without sacrificing quality—that’s the key!

More search options are now available at Google

Search engine optimization (SEO) experts will be given more options with Google’s new search engine appearance.

According to Search Engine Land’s Danny Sullivan, Google’s testing a new design which includes an options menu and a sponsored links side of search results.

This will give SEO experts more to work with, giving them additional SEO factors to take into consideration.

Sullivan says that Google is trying to filter the type of information people are looking for based on their queries. This means that they will try to address the different needs and preferences of browsers on keyword searches.

Linking from other sites for better SEO

Linking from other sites are detrimental to the success of you search engine optimization (SEO) campaign. The general idea is: the more links you have from other sites, the better chances you have in ranking among the top search results.

However, you need high-quality links from authoritative sources in order to achieve maximum effectiveness.

Links from your peers

Links from high-quality websites that have similar topics as yours are important. Look for businesses related to yours, but ones that you are not in direct competition with. Competitors will not be willing to link to your site as it may affect their own SEO campaign.

In order to find these sites, you will need to research. You should look for a site that has the following: relevant content, good reputation, and an online community.

Go Social

In today’s context, social media networks are widely popular—the market is there! With millions of users, you’re sure to obtain traffic from these sites.

Create a social networking profile for your site, one that will give it attention from other users. A profile is a great way to earn a user’s trust and loyalty.

Blog, blog, blog

These days, more and more businesses are using blogs as a part of their SEO campaign. The most important thing here is to always prioritize high-quality content and to constantly update the blog. Web spiders are always on the look out for new and relevant content, and if you have both you’ll have a better chance at getting top ranking.

The blog is a venue for you to introduce your business to browsers, and give them a casual idea of how your business works.

Web design—a factor in SEO

Web pages need to be clear and functional to capitalize on search engine optimization (SEO) campaigns.

SEO can drive traffic to a site. But if the browser finds your home page and finds its design to be unclear and dysfunctional, there won’t be a bounce rate. The browser will not go back to your page!

A balanced effort is necessary to translate traffic into customers. A well-designed Website will give browsers a better online experience, making them come back for more.

The design should make an impression. More often than not, browsers are impatient and they will continue searching until they find a better site. The Website’s functions should be easy to see.

SEO is the future of web marketing

Experts forecast that search engine optimization (SEO) will be the most used online marketing tool in the future.

When it comes to web marketing, SEO is the future because it’s cost-efficient and effective.

Tom Demers, WordStream director of marketing, says that the social media channel will also play a significant role in SEO effectiveness.

“Building relationships and building your brand is great for SEO,” explained Demers. “Every form of marketing helps supplement and amplify every other form of marketing when done properly.”

According to a recent survey from Practical eCommerce, 95 percent of online retailers see SEO as an important tool for businesses. And almost 83 percent of the respondents also optimized for search engines.

Should you focus on only one keyword?

Search engine optimization (SEO) should avoid focusing on one keyword if they want to maximize traffic and conversions.

Experts say that concentrating on a single keyword is important, but an SEO campaign should rely on several keyword-related terms to increase traffic. This process takes time and patience.

Sites that have semantically-related keywords have proven to attract more traffic compared to sites that focus on only one keyword.

Semantically-related searches usually come from browsers who are looking a specific product. This allows for easier conversion.

Google SSL encryption raises SEO concerns

Google recently introduced an SSL-encrypted version of its search engine, which may have effects on search engine optimization (SEO) campaigns.

SSL encryptions are already used for the company’s other services, including Gmail and Google Docs. While this offers users better privacy, it does have potential disadvantages for SEO campaigns.

Keyword research is important to building a successful SEO campaign. This involves having to analyze what terms browsers used to find what they need on the internet. SSL encryption will prevent that, because it prevents referral data from being sent. This means that analytical tools will not be able to now what term the user typed in for search.

If this is indeed the case, it will weaken many SEO campaigns.

Pacman eats up SEO

Google, the world’s top search engine, recently commemorated the 30th anniversary of Pacman with a useable game on its home page. The walls of the Pacman maze were designed to spell out Google, and even came with a two-player mode. This triggered a mass search for Pacman-related terms, and they were statistically the most searched terms for that day.

Browsers spent countless hours playing Pacman on the Google home page. Some supervisors even voiced complaints about the interface affecting employee productivity!

Google has been very inventive on its home page, often commemorating holidays, pop icons, etc. with the interface.

IPL Kochi owners meet Kerala Chief Minister

IPL Kochi owners meet Kerala Chief Minister
Thiruvananthapuram, May 12 : The owners of the newly-acquired Indian Premier League (IPL) Kochi franchise Wednesday called on Kerala Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan to seek the government's support in their efforts to build and organise the team.
Rendezvous Sports World in March won the franchise for the Kochi IPL team for a record price of Rs.1,500 crore.

After his meeting with the team owners, Achuthanandan said: "See, they told me a few things and much of what they said I did not understand. So, I told them that I will speak to Sports Minister M. Vijayakumar and before that I have asked them to put it on paper what exactly they want. If this is something that needs to be promoted, then by all means it would be done and if not ...."

The IPL Kochi franchisees, who met Achuthanandan at his home here, include co-owners Vivek Venugopal, Chief Executive Officer of Rendezvous Sports World P.T. Keshav, Mohan Shah (Anchor Group), Owal Shah (Paraneeam Developers), Kailash (Film Waves) and former minister of state for external affairs Shashi Tharoor.

Tharoor, also the local MP, was largely instrumental in getting the franchisees together.

On Tuesday, they had called on opposition leader Oommen Chandy and sought his support for the venture. The members also had a detailed meeting with the Kerala Cricket Association and announced that Kochi would be the home venue for the team in the next season.

Track SEO rankings with Google Analytics

Track SEO rankings with Google Analytics

Track SEO rankings?
Well, you can't specifically track the exact position of the keyword that was clicked like you can do with AdWords. But it is possible to determine the page he was on. A ranking tool can tell you over and over again that a certain keyword is around position 15 in Google while Google Analytics claims he is on page 1 (position 1 to 10). This effect can come from 'personalized search' or 'local results' that can influence the Google rankings dramatically. People see other results than you see with your ranking tools. And therefore you need Google Analytics to do the real ranking.
Setup the filter
To get the rankings in your Google Analytics reports you have to create a new filter:

The title of the filter contains a 3, that's because filter 1 and 2 take care of filtering out everything else than Google Organic traffic. So yes: you also have to create a new profile to apply these filters on to be sure you don't screw up your main profile.
This filter only works for Google. if you want it to work for Yahoo and Live Search also, make sure you change the filters 1 and 2 so they accept Organic from all three of them. Then setup the filter like this:

The ranking results
After a while the "User Defined" report will look like this (ignore the language):

What you see are not the actual rankings, but the number of the first result of the page the keyword was on. So when you see 20, it means the keyword was on the third page, and a 50 means the sixth page. (Yahoo and Live Search will report 21 and 51 in stead of 20 and 50).
When you don't see a number but only "(page: ): it means the keyword was on the first page. So perhaps it is better to change "page:" to "minimal position;", I leave that up to you.
If you want to filter the list of keywords on keywords with at least a page 2 position you can use "(page: d{2,3})" in the filter field below the list. The d stands for digits, and the 2,3 for the amount of digits you're looking for.
Enjoy.

On page SEO

On Page Optimization – A Complete Walkthrough

Getting a good ranking in a search engine hasn’t been the easiest thing for many. Search engines are getting more smarter & intelligent everyday, so now it takes more than just good content to top your competitors.

On page optimization is one of the very first step of SEO which every webmaster should look into. It probably won’t even take you an hour to learn and implement some of these on-page optimization techniques. But you may ask me, why it is so important? – Well literally speaking, if you can do proper on-page optimization for your website you can not only rank well in a search engine but also can increase the overall readability of your website for your visitors.

Below I have tried to summarize some of the most important on-page optimization techniques for you. You can implement some of these if not all to give your site a better exposure to the search engines as well as to increase your overall CTR (Click-Through-Rate) ratio.
1. Title Optimization

A site’s title tag is by far the most important website optimization element. A title tag should be short but descriptive enough for your visitors to identify you and your business. Title tag is the first thing that is shown & indexed by the search engines. So naturally it is given a very high importance – out of thousands results that a searcher sees, your site’s title has to be appealing enough for him to want to find out more information. On the other hand, your title has to be appealing enough to the search engine in order to rank you above thousands of other similar websites like yours.

Important things to include in your title:

* Your Name/ Business Name / Site Name: This is very important for breading propose. If you feel that your customers may search you by your brand name than it’s also useful to put it somewhere in your title.
* Keywords: If you want to rank for a certain keywords it is always good to place some of them in your title tag. A Title tag represents the whole flavor & content of your website. So if you are selling pizza online you can include keywords like – order pizza, home delivery pizza etc in your title tag. Don’t staff too many keywords in your title. Write a title which is readable to humans & also good for the search engine. (e.g. Domino’s Pizza, Order Pizza Online for Delivery – Dominos.com)
* Include your 1-800 or other toll-free numbers: Some may not agree with me on this, but I think including your phone number in the title tag does help your visitors to take a direct action! It also makes your site look more professional and legit when it’s being displayed in the SERP (Search Engine Result Page). Searchers are likely to ‘click’ on the result that has a phone number attached to it because in their unconscious mind, they will have a good impression on the authenticity of the business and the level of support. If you prefer not to include your number in the title tag, you can alternatively include it in your Meta Description which will give you almost the same benefits.

2. Meta Tags Optimization

A site’s Meta tags may not be as important as it used to be before, however I feel that Meta Description is something you can’t just ignore. A site’s Meta description should contain a brief description of your website focusing on the areas and services that your business is specialized in. This small piece of text can be considered as a selling snippet, if a searcher finds it appealing he is likely to click and go inside your page to find out more information. But if your Meta Description is too generic and isn’t written too well then there is a good chance that your site will simply be ignored.

Important things to include in your Meta Description:

* Include your Selling Point– Tell your customers what they want to hear through your site’s Meta Description, and you will definitely get some advantage over others in the SERP. For instance – if you sell ‘cheap web hosting’ then including a phrase like “hosting starting from only $0.99” may result in more clicks and visitors because your description will exactly match the flavor of search performed by the user.
* Keywords – Including some of your keywords will give you some advantage in Google’s relevancy algorithm.
* 1-800 or other Toll Free Numbers – if you haven’t included this already in your title, you can rather include it in your Meta description. If the users have skype installed on their system, any number on their browser will become clickable which will result in a direct skype-out call. So basically, if your number appears in the Meta description some of your customers might just prefer to call you directly instead of going through your site.

3. Important HTML Tags

It is necessary for you to highlight certain parts of your website that you want your readers to look at. There are several tags in html which allows you to do so. For instance – the header tags [h1] [h2] [h3], Bold [strong], Italic [em] etc. The text inside your header tags (e.g. [h1]) is given very high importance by the search engine. Usually you can use them to define the page/post titles or the important sections of your website.

Header Elements:

* Header 1: Header 1 should be used to define the most important section of your page. Usually Header 1 is used for Site’s title or header text.
* Header 2 & 3: Header 2 and 3 can be used for Page/Post titles or important sections of your pages. Separating your content with headers is a good practice as it makes your site more readable and easy to navigate.

Text Styles:

* Bold: You can bold (e.g. [strong]) certain words which are of high importance. Sometimes it’s good to bold your keywords where appropriate. However overdoing this may get you penalized.
* Italic: You can use the [em] tag to emphasize certain words which will appear in italic.
* Quote: This is very useful when you are quoting from someone.

4. Keyword Optimization & Synonyms

Your site’s content needs to be optimized in such a way that it can suit both search engines & your readers. Stuffing your site with too many keywords can make your site unreadable. So you will need to have some sort of balance between your keywords & your content.

Important elements of Keyword Optimization:

* Research: Do a proper research before you decide on your keywords. There are plenty of free tools out there that can help you to do keyword research. Some of my personal favorites are: SEObook Keyword Suggestion tool, Google Adwords Keyword Tool & Overture Keyword Tool.
* Keyword Density: Try to have a moderate keyword density so that it can help the search engine to determine that your page is indeed related & relevant to the keyword that you are targeting.
* Synonyms & Related Keywords: I personally like to use synonyms instead of having a high keyword density. This helps to make my content sound natural but still helps in SEO.
* Long Tail Keywords: It’s often good to target some long tail keywords as they are comparatively easier to rank for. During your keyword research you should be able to gather some good long tail keywords that you can optimize your site for. But you can also come up with your own long tail keywords; for example try adding some common words like – ‘best’, ‘free’, ‘cheap’, ‘top’ etc. along with your actual keyword and you might eventually get some good long tail keywords.

5. Link Optimization

It is important to optimize your internal & external outbound links for search engines as well as to give your visitors a better navigation.

Important elements of Link Optimization:

* Try using good Anchor Text when you are linking to other people. Include the appropriate keyword in the anchor text which gives the outbound link a ‘proper meaning’ and value.
* A good & clean Internal Link Structure with proper use of anchor text will definitely help. E.g. “Credit Card Application” is a better anchor text compared to “click here”
* If you are using a CMS, then try using permalinks. This way your keywords/post title will be on the link itself and thus it will valued more by the search engines.

6. Image Optimization

If your site has lot of images, you need to optimize them too as they can’t be read by the search engines. It’s very easy for a human reader to interpret the image into its meaning. However for a Web crawler the whole interpreting process is completely different. Search Engine spiders can only read text but not images. So you need to use some special tags for your images in order to give them some meaning.

Some Important Image Optimization Elements:

* Alt text : ALT text or Alternate Text is the text to describe your image when your mouse moves over an image on your web page. The text should be meaningful but short. You can use your relevant keywords as ALT text. If your browser can’t display the image for some reason, the alt text is used in place of that particular image.
* File name : always use meaningful file name for your images, use names like “apple-iphone-cover.jpg” instead of meaningless “DSC24045.jpg”. Keep image file name same or similar to the ALT text.
* Image Title : always use the title tag in images which will show the title as tool tip when a user moves his mouse over the image. Example of an image with title tag: [img src=”http://imagelocation.jpg” alt=”Image description” title=”Title of the Image”]
* Image Linking : Whenever you want to link to your image, use the image keywords in your link text. Example: use “view an Apple iPhone”, instead of “Click here to view” as the anchor text.

PPC or SEO?

How Natural Search Engine Optimisation Pays Off in the Long Run

SEO and PPC are search engine marketing techniques that are used to drive targeted traffic to your website. PPC, or Pay Per Click, ads are a way of buying visitors to your website by bidding on advertisement placements among the search engine results for specific keywords. Search engine optimization, or SEO, is a natural way of achieving top search engine placement by creating a keyword rich website with a strong linking structure. But which method is best for your company?

While both PPC and SEO marketing tactics have advantages, natural search engine optimization tends to have a higher return on investment (ROI) over time. In fact, a JupiterResearch study found that companies who outsource both their SEO and PPC campaigns show a significantly higher ROI with natural search engine optimization. Users tend to trust natural search engine results to be relevant to the information they are seeking, and are more likely to click on a natural SEO result.

Although using an SEO firm to create high search engine positioning for your website requires a higher initial investment than starting a PPC campaign, natural search engine optimization pays off over time. After your initial investment, your SEO website will require little to no additional cost to keep bringing in highly qualified traffic. With a PPC campaign, however, as soon as you stop investing money, your traffic comes to a screeching halt.

It is a common misperception that PPC campaigns are easier to run than search engine optimization. Nothing could be further from the truth, however. In order to keep the ROI of a PPC campaign high, your company needs to invest significant time and effort into analyzing the campaign, managing bids, and writing new advertising creatives. SEO requires an investment of time and experience; PPC requires time, experience, and a constant flow of money.

Another disadvantage of PPC is that it is increasingly vulnerable to click fraud. Click fraud is an attack on a PPC campaign to destroy its profitability. One example of click fraud is a robotic script that clicks a competitor’s PPC links over and over again, costing them money for each click with no real traffic coming to the site. Another type of click fraud involves repeatedly running a search without clicking on a PPC link, which can cause the advertisements to be disabled for having a click through rate that is too low. Although search engines do their best to hinder PPC click fraud, it is impossible to stop altogether. Natural SEO results are impervious to this kind of attack.

Where PPC campaigns can really shine is in conjunction with natural search engine optimization. PPC campaigns are quick to start, with advertisements online in as little as fifteen minutes. SEO, on the other hand, can take as long as three months to really kick in. PPC can start driving traffic to your site before your SEO takes effect. PPC is also an effective way to get exposure for highly competitive keywords. While it might be too costly to receive top search engine positioning for these search phrases with natural SEO, you can still get the benefit of targeted traffic using PPC. Finally, PPC can help emphasize your site’s dominance for your main keywords. Search engine users who see results for the same site in the natural listings and in the PPC advertisements often feel that the site is more trustworthy than if it is found in one result alone.

Sachin Tendulkar joins Twitter

After conquering the cricket field, India's ace batsman Sachin Tendulkar has stepped on to a new field to win the hearts of his fans. The master blaster has joined Twitter, an online social platform.

It is a platform where his fans can communicate directly with him. But Twitter, which is a hub of celebrities, will never be the same again after having the Little Master on board. A fan inspired by Pt Nehru's speech of independence, wrote, " At the stroke of the midnight when most Indians were sleeping, Sachin joined Twitter.

Sachin, whose Twitter ID is http://twitter.com/sachin_rt, made his presence public in his first tweet. It said, "Finally the original SRT is on twitter n the first thing I'd like to do is wish my colleagues the best in the Windies".

Sachin got a warm welcome on Twitter. Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty said: "Finally on twitter, The God of cricket himself. A big welcome shout for SACHIN TENDULKAR himself @sachin_rt spread the word".

His friend, Atul Kasbekar tweeted: "Ladies n Gentlemen it is my proud privilege to introduce Finally to Twitter, SACHIN TENDULKAR, @sachin_rt, follow the King now, go go go !!!"

Specials: Sachin @ 37 | Sachin's 47 Test tons in pics

Sachin, who turned 37 in April, completed 20 years in the international cricket last November. Sitting on the pinnacle of Tests and ODIs, Sachin opted to stay from the Twenty20 format. However, he made it clear that he would continue to play in the IPL.

In 166 Test matches he has garnered a mind-boggling 13,447 runs at 55.56 per innings and in 442 ODIs the corresponding figures read 17598 and 45.12.

He is only two Tests short of equalling retired Australian batsman Steve Waugh in the highest number of appearances and it's just a matter of when he will achieve this distinction.

He has also under his belt 93 international hundreds, including 47 in Tests, and looks all set to complete a hundred hundreds before hanging up his bat.
