SEO Contest from SEO WEB HOSTING & SEO WEB DESIGN

I have been thinking about creating an SEO Contest, and would like to get feedback from SEO professionals on how a contest should be done. I was thinking of a contest where the keyword is unique, and also not in the current google, yahoo, msn index. I would also say that the destination seo optimized page is not a blog... it should be an HTML 4.0 + type page with CSS and layers if you like.

I think this would create a cool contest that would really show the skills of the SEO Professional.

Would love your thoughts :)

SEO WEB HOSTING & SEO WEB DESIGN Black Hat SEO Techniques

Black Hat SEO includes, linkspamming, misrepresenting site content, cheating on reciprocal links, spamdexing, linkfarming, linkbaiting, empire building, cloaking, keyword stuffing, redirects, buying links, and buying traffic and many more techniques.

Some of the Black Hat SEO techniques I have been using succesfully for many years, others have limited success or are easily detectable. I will go through all these techniques one by one and detail the positives and negatives of each technique.

I like to use what is referred to as GRAY HAT SEO. The idea of gray hat seo is to use a variety of techniques to get good search engine results, but always deliver to the person doing a search, VALID results! In other words, if someone does a search for "seo web hosting" the pages that I put on the first and second page of Google and other search engines will be about SEO WEB HOSTING! No deception! Only the results a person is looking for :)

The "Long Tail" of Search and SEO WEB HOSTING

The "long tail" is a concept pioneered by Chris Anderson (the editor-in-chief of Wired magazine, who runs the Long Tail blog). His concept is very applicable to my  SEO WEB HOSTING . From Chris's description: 

The theory of the Long Tail is that our culture and economy is increasingly shifting away from a focus on a relatively small number of "hits" (mainstream products and markets) at the head of the demand curve and toward a huge number of niches in the tail. As the costs of production and distribution fall, especially online, there is now less need to lump products and consumers into one-size-fits-all containers. In an era without the constraints of physical shelf space and other bottlenecks of distribution, narrowly-target goods and services can be as economically attractive as mainstream fare.

The "long tail" of SEO WEB HOSTING is providing great personal service, not to thousands of hosting customers but to a select few that really want to achieve great results with search engine optimization!

SEO WEB HOSTING

SEO WEB HOSTING is web hosting that combines web hosting services with search engine optimization to get your web site higher in the search engines (preferably on the first or second page of Google!)

There are services out there the call themselves SEO WEB HOSTING, but what they offer is not really seo web hosting, but rather, a service that will put your web sites on various IP address so you don't get a search engine penalty for duplicate web sites (or very similar web sites) on the same IP address. BUT... this does not help you get your web site to the top of search engines which is what SEO is all about! That is what SEO WEB HOSTING does! Get's your web site as high as possible in the search engines for your keywords!

The Impact of SEO WEB DESIGN on getting better search results!

It goes without saying that showing up on the first or second page of google is a great thing for business! It occurred to me that there needed to be a new service that combined search engine optimization (SEO) and web design!  The idea being to integrate SEO fundamentals right into the design of the web site. This helps to make your web site more search engine friendly :)

I have been doing both SEO and seo web design since 1998, and many of my clients have benefited from my web hosting and seo skills to generate more traffic for there web site. So the "light bulb" went off and and I created a new business which is very unique, which is called SEO WEB DESIGN ! I know... it seems so obvious! Combine a great design service that is distinctive, easy to navigate, and is value priced, AND combine this with world class search engine optimization (seo).
