How much money is spent on SEO each year?
Im looking for a national/world average. I know more and more companies are expected to spend a ton but I would like some sources that tell how much is expected to be spent on SEO. Thanks guys.
Hello Jack,
I was trying to find the article on emarketer.com. It was posted a few months back. However, the article stated that it expects Internet marketers will be spending at least $ 26 million plus on Search Engine Optimization. Social Media Marketing & Email Marketing closely followed.
You can also check out www.seomoz.org they just posted a blog about the future of Internet marketing. They got their info from forrester research. You can go to forrester research and sign up for their newsletter and they will keep you up to date on trends. You can also go to mequoda daily, they are also an online newsletter that provides great information on Interent Marketing trends.
I hope this helps!
Sincerely,

8 Linking Strategies That Work
When it comes to linking strategies for your website you need to concentrate on one word. Backlinks! A backlink is defined as having your website address on another website. This creates a link pointing your visitor or a search engine back to your website. If you were in a game and were keeping score every backlink gives you a +1. An outoging link is the link of another website on yours pointing back to theirs. You would score this a -1.
If you were playing a game to win you would want the most pluses you could get. So it is with linking strategies. Here are some basic ways to get backlinks to your website.
1. You can buy a text link. Websites that get high amounts of traffic and are ranked high with the top search engines will let you pay them to put your website link on their site.
2. Forum marketing is a way to get a backlink. If the forum let’s you create a signature file you can hyperlink you website to a keyword phrase pointing back to your website. You can also list your website in your online profile and get a backlink that way,
3. Writing and submitting articles is a quick way to get alot of backlinks. Create a bio box at the end of each article with a link for your website. Then submit your article to as many directories as possible. Or even better yet use a software of article marketer to submit your articles for you.
These articles can be picked up by other directories, webmasters, or online newsletters and spread all over the internet giving your website a viral marketing benefit.
4. Place classified ads with popular directories like USFreeAds or AdlandPro. Upgrade to paid member and you can place unlimited ads with links pointing back to your website.
5. Blog and ping. In each blog post include a sort resource box with your website address. If you archive you posts this gives you backlinks for years to come.
6. Trade links with quality websites. We are not talking about reciprocal linking to directories with thousands of worthless links. A better strategy is to trade a link with a website that closely mirrors your site without being in direct competition to it. Also look to place their link on one of your pages that has the same page rank as the link they are giving you.
7. Post comments on other peoples blogs. Take the time to read the post before you make a comment. Don’t write something worthless like ” I like your blog.” Make your comments informative and relate to the blog post you just read. Then include your website address along with your name.
8. Internal linking can bring valuable backlinks to your home page. This would be when you put your website address in a hyperlinked keyword phrase and point it back to your home page. This is a great way to build keyword relavancy along with building up your backlinks.
These are a few linking strategies that work. There are many others. Just keep it simple and remember this simple formula.

What About Keywords?
In an internet world such as ours, keywords are an integral part of any orange county seo campaign. It is a known fact that internet users use different keywords to search for the sites that they need and it is the task of a professional seo company to determine what these are. Keyword research is a vital component of an orange county seo campaign and should not be over looked. Before you start any seo campaign, you need to invest time and effort in searching for keywords to focus on.
A high page rank in the search engine results page is important since many internet users utilize only the first two pages of the SERPs in order to find sites that have the information that they need. For this, you will need to keep in mind two things – keyword density and keyword placing.
Keyword density refers to the number of times that a keyword appears in orange county seo content. According to some professional seo company, keywords should have a minimum density of 1% in order for the content to rank high in the SERPs. With appropriate density, Google can tag your site as “valuable” and will appear in a higher position during searches. When this happens, you can expect to receive more free traffic from the search engine.
In the past, websites stuffed keywords on their content in the hopes of getting a higher position in the SERPs. Unfortunately, this doesn’t work anymore. With real internet users who read content, it is important that you provide valuable information to them in order to get a loyal stream of visitors. Aside from this, there are several search engines which actually penalize a site when it has too many keywords stuffed on the page. On the average, professional seo company suggests a maximum of 4% keyword density to be on the safe side.
Keywords placement involves placing keywords in the right areas for better readability. When keywords are used naturally in an orange county seo content, search engines will rank it of high quality, and has a higher chance of appearing at a higher position in the SERPs. Typically, keywords should appear once in the first and last sentences so the content, and every 100 to 150 words in the body.
