For the purpose of this article, let’s call her Tammy. I initially started the conversation asking Tammy what types of marketing she is currently doing to help generate traffic to her website. She mentioned she has setup Google AdWords and Yahoo! Sponsorship campaigns for her business, but is unfortunately not generating any sales. I said ok, that’s a great start. I then asked her what else she is doing. Tammy said, “Nothing that’s why I need your help”. We both laughed.Advertising – Who Needs It? - Who doesn’t!Most people who read information about business or advertising are doing so because they are trying to make some kind of positive change in their life.

As we all know, the Internet is made up of millions of websites, encompassing billions of pages of content. When we do a search in Google, some results appear on the first page, others appear on the third and then there are those that don’t appear at all. What makes a website appear before another? Is it because they have better keywords in their site or is it because their site is more popular? Well to be honest, there is a whole slue of reasons why one website might appear before another. For the purpose of this article, I’m only going to talk about the leading reason why I believe one site appears higher another - and that is “Relevance”. In order to appear in the search engine for a particular keyword search, your website must be relevant for that particular search term – makes sense right? Ok, so then wouldn’t you also agree that if your pages are more relevant to that search term, then they should appear higher in the search results, right?

If relevance is the answer then how do I make my site more relevant? That’s a great question and I’m so glad you’ve asked. The answer is hidden in the “Content” of your website. If your site contains more relevant search terms, you will become more visible in the search engines for those terms… guaranteed! Content is the key to success on the Internet.

Some of these are adjustments that you need to make to your existing website and others are changes that will help you get more content indexed and indexed faster.

School has just started, sports team are beginning their season, and non-profit groups are looking to get a piece of the holiday spending action. While other groups are selling candy, wrapping paper, and magazines for their fundraising idea, how about looking into doing something different this year: Halloween Pumpkins.Sure you can buy a pumpkin at the grocery store or home improvement superstore, but many families, like mine, like to make choosing the Halloween pumpkins an event; sort of like choosing the Christmas tree. We bake cookies, make cider, rent a kid friendly ‘scary movie’, and prepare to make a day of it. We bundle up in our jackets against the first real chill of the year and go on a pumpkin mission.< As we all know, the Internet is made up of millions of websites, encompassing billions of pages of content.

Was THAT An Illegal Question? and that is “Relevance”.Let's start out by saying that you should not be too worried about being asked an illegal interview question for devious, underhanded purposes.
