There is something that a lot of people don’t realize that Google is paying attention to. It is your user’s behavior while they are on your site.

If users are clicking from the search engine results to your site, and then clicking back soon after arriving … your site is going to be hard to have a good ranking for. If people visit your site and then stay there for a while, you are in a good position to get ranked well.

Why? Stop and think about it. What does this metric tell Google? If people stay at your site, they are obviously interested in it. If they are interested, your site must be good because … IT HAS HELD THEIR ATTENTION!

This is one metric Google can see and rank you on that is difficult to manipulate. Matter of fact, the only real way to manipulate this is to create create content that people stay at your site to read … that isn’t exactly manipulating your rank … it is doing exactly what Google wants … and that is to have site’s with good content in their database.

To get proper HTML page validation is a must.

Go to the W3C validator and Validate Your HTML

We all utilize HTML code to emphasize important keywords and phrases and use the proper coding to get this job done. How about the actual body content though? Are you placing emphasis on your keywords and phrases within your pages? Don’t overlook this ripe opportunity.

Most sites that do not rank well in the search engines are lacking in their ability to be noticed. It isn’t enough to just create your site and upload it to a domain. There are way too many sites around nowadays for your site to make it into the search results unless you make a concerted effort to optimize it and make it be seen.

Without a doubt, one of the most important parts of the Google algorithm is that which considers inbound links from other sites. It should be obvious to you that a link pointing at your site is a positive thing. The other site owner would never put a link to your site if there wasn’t a good reason to do so.

It is not the old days any more, back when a simple counter told us what we needed to know. Today there is a wealth of important information we can glean from web statistics and it will help us make our site better.

Or is it? It is more than same I think, except that the way we are going to be going about it all in the future is definitely undergoing change. Perhaps for the better, as it may just be easier to get inbounds in the future … if we adapt and change with the times.

It has always been that we would do a search for other sites, within our same market but not directly competitive, and try to exchange links. Eventually we went for one way inbounds utilizing many of the same methods. We moved on with this changing our strategy, but in hindsight I can see that things haven’t really changed all that much.

However we need to evolve with the times and I can see a smarter way to generate inbounds than our traditional methods of visiting other sites, requesting exchanges and even in our basic visitation of blogs and forums.

Today the internet has changed quite a bit from its origins. Today on many websites the users are creating all of the content! Look at Facebook for a quick for instance … is Facebook writing content for their site? Nope. Their users are doing it for them. How about Squidoo? Same thing there … the users are creating all of the content and it is making these sites huge with very high PageRank.

So, here is what I’m seeing as the future of our link building and our efforts at getting those coveted inbounds. Joining in the games!

It’s nothing beyond that and it is as plain as this large protrusion off the front of my face. Taking part in any of the gazillion conversations taking place right now online, somewhere, on some social type of site, is where the links of the future are. As well, this is viral country. It’s like a dirty hospital. Enter with something viral and everyone is going to get it! Why … simply because people will repeat what they read elsewhere, or you can even do it yourself, and get multiple links pointing back to your site with the anchor text that you choose.

I’ll mention more about my thoughts on this in another post, someday soon … here.

Here is a work in progress that is going to cost a bit more than the current $2 price once I get further along with.

This is a Link Building Idea book that presently has 60 ideas for getting other sites to link to your site. Yes, 60 and growing.

Once I get this up to 100 linking ideas I will be charging more for it. If you purchase it now you will be on the “updates for life” list and be eligible to get a new updated download every time I update the eBook.

It’s a simple PDF download that you can have RIGHT NOW!

Just follow the instructions provided by PayPal once you have made your payment.

I have heard some reports lately about aWeber being hacked and list subscribers being spammed.

I have a list, many of you are on it. I haven’t heard from aWeber that any of my lists have been hacked, but I thought I’d mention it here … to be absolutely sure to make a public statement on this … I will NEVER spam my lists or sell my lists (unless I sold my entire business which isn’t likely to happen in the near future).

Just thought I mention this, and please, if you have been spammed in the name of Ethical SEO Service or any of my lists please let me know so that I can report it to aWeber.
