As a business owner, if someone guarantees Search Engine Ranking within 72 hours, what is your perception?
There is no legitimate ‘white hat’ SEO company that can guarantee Search Engine Ranking in an extremely short period of time (unless they are in bed with Google, and if someone knows one, let me know) If a an SEO company does guarantee results in 72 hours, how is that perceived by the business owner who is their client?
Is it perceived as ‘Cheap Services’ – not justifying the cost of the service, or unethical practices, or simple enough to do on their own?
My perception?
- they don’t know what they’re talking about
- they don’t understand white hat SEO
- they’re overpromising something they can’t deliver
- avoid them like a plaque as their tactics could eventually harm my website
Basically, run as fast as you can away from them.
But then, many people fall for them. And they’ll deliver some keywords showing that the website got top 10 rankings — except that the website has already been ranking for those keywords or they’ll deliver some obscure keywords.

How do I find the Standard Error of the Mean (SEM) and variance? Please help?
Hey everyone, I am having a hard time with doing my chemistry calculations. I think I understand how to find the SEM, but the variance confuses me. (Like, how do you get the number in front of your value that has a + or – above one another) Thanks a lot for the help and I really appreciate it.
SEM = standard deviation divided by the square root of n, where n is the sample size. Variance is the square of the standard deviation.
If the variance is 64, for example, the standard deviation is 8.
If you have a set of data, you can compute the mean and the standard deviation.
Here is an example.
The data : 4,6,8,10
Number of cases 4
To find the mean, add all of the observations and divide by 4
Mean 7
Squared deviations
(4-7)^2 = (-3)^2 = 9
(6-7)^2 = (-1)^2 = 1
(8-7)^2 = (1)^2 = 1
(10-7)^2 = (3)^2 = 9
Add the squared deviations and divide by 4
Variance = 20/4
Variance 5
Standard deviation = sqrt(variance) = 2.2361
SEM = 2.2361 / 2 =1.11805
What is the SEO opinion of interstitial ads?
Does anyone have any facts or guidance on the SEO impact of using interstitial ads? They appear on a number of "big budget" sites like top-tier newspapers, magazines and video sites yet my guess is that Google and others would take a less favorable view of small sites using these ads. They are quite admittedly annoying, but can be profitable and beneficial in some situations.
Does anyone have any first-hand experience working with these ads and the results (good, bad or non-existent) from the various search engines?
Hmmmm,
I have used interstitial ads on a couple of my sites from a number of providers (adsense et al).
From my experience
Full Page Ads
In my honest opinion, they do not provide a consistent income as they only serve to annoy the web users. I tried and tested and would never use full page ads again (unless your only focus is income but this will come at the cost of users and traffic).
in text ads
these are somewhat less annoying for users – when using the in text ads I found that the revenue was pretty pump.
In my expereince, fixed ads work best, I use Google, Tradedoubler and Commision Junction. Google is always the highest performa but the other 2 can bring bigger commisions (depends on the site and volume of content). I like Google best as you get paid for the click, you never lose.
I run my free business websites on this principal, bigger sites can demand much higher prices simply for display so its a differant ballpark.
Anyway, I suggest minimal use of interstitail ads, fixed position (well placed and colour matching) has always been my winner.
UPDATE – missed the SEO part sorry.
From my experience interstitail ads are only damaging to SEO if you allow full page ads to open on a visitors first page visit. Example, Adsense Full page ads can be set to be displayed to visitors after a number of page views (1,3,5 if I recall correctly). I experimented with the 1 page ads but found that:
a, my ad revenue went down (surprisingly)
b, I had less page views with much higher bounce rates (not surprisingly)
c, page integration to search engines was slower (I’m guessing that the spiders bounced too)
Notwithstanding this, there was no change to actual page rank and visitor level were pretty much the same. From this we can conclude that full page ads are not the money spinner they would initially appear to be. To be honest, I dont think I would use this as an advertising means either.
Full page ads are on a par with pamphlets through your door, at first they were shiny and interesting, after a while they just get damn annoying. Once you annoy a user, you lose their interest! the rest is obvious.
I hope this helps. Maybe someone else has had some success.
