Which Search Engine Marketing Tool Is The Best For You?
You created a website for your business and filled it with a lot of useful information. Great! Now you must get your website recognized and popularized on the World Wide Web index. In doing so you have three major options, they are: Organic search optimization, Paid Inclusions and Pay-Per-Click. These three web-marketing tools are a great way to get started and get identified. So you may ask, what exactly are these three Search Engine Marketing tools?
Organic Search Engine
If you like free, then Organic Search Engine Marketing is for you. Organics are found on the left side of the page and are ranked by keyword results. For example, if you search Google for ice cream the links that appear on the page are those with the keyword “ice cream” on the page a high number of times. Also, if a page has internal links with the keyword those will be included in the ranking.
Search engines such as Google, Yahoo!, and Dogpile are constantly changing their algorithms. These are specialized computing data structures or recipes that find the best websites that represent the keywords a user searches for. Other common names for algorithms are crawler or spider.
Organic Search Engines are the most trusted marketing search engine tool. This is because they are free and businesses are not influencing the search results by buying a spot. Organic results also portray a level of importance when the top 10 results appear.
Paid Inclusion
If you are willing to pay for a spot then paid inclusions are for you. These work as such: you pay money for a site indexed in the search engine, which is organized in a priority queue or organized sequence. Your link stays indexed as long as your pay for the subscription. This does not promise a particular ranking.
As stated above these are not as credible as the organic search results, but they do get your page, name, and material out on the results pages.
Pay-Per-Click
These links appear on the right side of the search engine results pages and are under the title “Sponsored Links.” These are advertiSEMents and the businesses that pay for them get charged every time someone clicks on the advertisement. Pay-Per-Click links are also linked to keywords, meaning the link appears when the keyword is typed into the search engine.

optimization. I’m actually trying to find few things myself. There are several books even freely distributed but not many are great while you can get some information about doing so. You can also look into download.com and search but be careful as there are several fake softwares (you may start to notice how most will have the same icon after downloading them) (there are just a few that do not have the same icon but just make sure not to pay them unless you know for certain; search the search engines using the file name as the keyword; read the user reviews as it is a big clue as well)
Optimizing may work but requires a lot if you really want to be on the top. Look around the for search engine submitters on download.com; you can use them and/or do what i do which is to install and look at what sites it sends to; copy the site name and put it through Yahoo search and find the site; then go to the site if it’s actually worth using a certain program. use the site name on siteadvisor.com and take a look at the ranking or number of people; do a whois on some of the websites as I found several that may end up being terrible depedning on what kind of website you’re promoting. You can use wikipedia.org and search the word ‘whois’ and on the very bottom of the page, you can find ‘external links’ and you can find several whois services (whois.net and whois.com are popular but after several uses, I find it to be slow)
Good luck, maybe if you find something you can show it to me purhaps.

SEO and SEM are not a ‘Black Art’ and there are many, many people out there that will provide you with what you want for a ‘Kings Ransom’.
I am able to get a web site listed with Google in 12 days, and Yahoo in 21 days, those are the MAIN two, because most of the rest use those.
I’m going to give you a link to one of the TOP MEN in the UK, and there is nothing in it for me, I just like to help people expand their knowledge.

Even though you recently published your domain name on major major search engines/directories, you may want to consider some simple algorithms which, when observed and committed in designing of a website and placing various critical metatags can surely achieve a high search engine presence and placement.
Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based website, make sure to fill-in the property entries such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can be readily indexed by search robots.
A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text, is far easier to be indexed by search robots.
Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots are unable to properly classify textual material.
Placement of Metatags:
A ranking or search order does take place with Google and Yahoo and it begins with the Title metag which should consist of no more than 65 characters separated by commas. The Title should describe in generic terms, the goods and services, followed by a location from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state. The placement of a domain name which is not generic within the Title is not appropriate, unless your domain name is a major recognizable brand name.
The second metatag is the Description which is usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which best describes the goods and services.
And the very last category – Keywords are also somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries which could be mistaken as "spamdexed entries" which is defined as the loading, and submission of repetitive words into a particular metatag category. "Spamdexing" when discovered on a webpage and reported to Google’s spamreport.com can result in the elimination of your website from their search directory.
Here’s an example of a very highly-placed website on Yahoo.com: Begin with the search query "pizza downtown los angeles." It will bring up some 1.4 million+ websites as results. Check out where "Pizza Next Door" is ranked. It’s in the Top Five! Again, Pizza Next Door’s high web presence was achieved by proper web design and placement of relevant metatags according to Yahoo’s publication guidelines. Good luck!
