It was inevitable. Along with mobile websites, comes mobile website SEO. But is it really so different from "regular" SEO?
Here are 10 tips to help your mobile website soar in the Search Engines…
1. Top of the list – make sure you create a mobile Site Map. This piece of XML code is directly from Google Webmaster Central, and Google recommends that, for once, you avoid Sitemap Creation tools.
(Whatever you do, don’t omit the <mobile:mobile/> tag, or your mobile site won’t be crawled.
2. Each mobile Site Map must have a name that is unique – but "URLs serving multiple markup languages can be listed in a single Site Map".
3. If you use the Google Sitemap Generator to create your Site Map with, Google cautions that you will "need to create a separate config file for each Mobile Sitemap.
4. Don’t use huge titles. "21 Tips for Turning your Hamster into a Money-Making Machine While Helping Him Lose Weight" is just not gonna cut it, for a mobile site. Think "short blog post headline, instead. Keep it really, really simple.
5. Don’t forget to submit it to Google webmasters, just as you would with a regular Site Map.
6. When it comes to mobile blogs, if you’ve set them up properly with the right plug-ins, SEO isn’t such a problem. But do remember that if you don’t submit your blogs and websites to mobile directories – you’ll be invisible. All the SEO in the world won’t be able to help you, if you don’t seem to exist!
7. Keep an eye on SEO Principle.com, which reports all the latest SEO news from Google (specifically, from Matt Cutts, head of Google’s Webspam team. (Also check out the YouTube Google Webmaster Central channel for the latest SEO news.) Cutts is the guy with all the facts and figures: He reports more than 4 billion mobiles world-wide to only 1 billion PC’s. Says Cuts about the planned expansion of Google’s Search features: "…mobile is going to be a big part of it." (Again – get in on the leading edge!)
8. Drive traffic to your mobile website with a YouTube video – with your mobile site URL and a call to action prominently displayed. If you’ve ever used Google’s mobile web index, it should strike you that most of the results are YouTube pages. This may not be a sure-fire SEO strategy for ever – but it sure seems to be working, right now!
9. Check out the W3C Mobile Web Best Practices 1.0 page, at http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-bp/#d0e1099. You’ll find out all sorts of helpful data, including "keep your pages under 21k" and tips for SEO
10. Meet Googlebot-Mobile, a very special bot that looks for "mobile-friendly" sites, and includes them in Google’s mobile web index. So far he hasn’t been doing a very good job – but then again, maybe countless people aren’t bothering with those all important Site Maps.
Googlebot-Squarepants, er, I mean "Mobile", is a lot slower than other search bots, according to SEOprinciple.com, taking about 2 weeks to complete a "rotation".
When all is said and done, mobile SEO is still in its infancy. By all means follow the tips I’ve included here – but first and foremost, you need to concentrate on make your blog useful, interesting – and worth coming back to.
Well its been just little over a month since I last posted on my blog. It seems like forever since I last looked at my blog. I don’t normally wait so long in posting but I have been concentrating on my ffiliate marketing efforts.
I have also noticed that many other bloggers have been doing affiliate marketing too. I can understand that we all need to make some money and blogging becomes second to that. I don’t mind just posting once a week but i will try to make more of and effort to post more in the comming weeks.
Internet forum marketing is the form of marketing where you market your business through online discussion groups. First you join a forum and start adding posts to the discussions. You are though not allowed to advertise or market directly through your posts, this is called spamming. After registering as a member of the forum you can create your own signature file.
In this signature file you can hyperlink a keyword phrase back to your website, which when clicked can bring on the traffic to your site.
The following are the five benefits of forum marketing.
1. Always remember when you are posting you are helping out someone. It is a great felling when you are of any help to the other person. If you are a believer of the law of when you give you always receive something then online forum marketing is the place for you.

Online marketing is trememdous and most people are on the Internet, so it is safe to say that the Internet is one of the best places to advertise your business. There are several ways to build an opt-in list, but you want to ensure that people are interested in your products. This means that there are several things that you need to do on your website to ensure that you are setting yourself up for success.
1. Set Up a Opt-in form on Your Site
Place this form on the side of your site or directly at the end of your homepage’s content. If a person is reading through your site and they see something they are interested in, they are most likely going to go ahead and sign-up. A good form is simple. It should provide a short statement about your newsletter and have a call to action. You should also tell them that they will be kept updated about the site and then provide an area for their name and email address. The form will automatically save and the send you the information. This is by far the most popular way to build a website opt-in list.
Article marketing is one of the best ways to generate traffic to your website.
Here’s how it works.
1. You write an article. 2. You submit it to article directories. 3. Web publishers (website owners & bloggers) grab your article from the article databases and use your article on their sites free of charge. 4. Inside your article, at the end, you include a resource box that contains a link to your website. When the article is published, that portion must tag along and be published, too.
Your link tags along with your article and you get FREE advertising.

If you want to make money online fast than a very popular way to do so will be through Affiliate Marketing.
Affiliate Marketing
Its free to start and hence more popular than some of the other ways of online marketing. In this system you have to find a product which someone else owns and then sign up to their affiliate program and start promoting the product. With every sale you make of the product you will get a percentage of money. To start affiliate marketing you will not be needed to build your own website or even handle any transaction. You will just have to drive the customers to your affiliate link which is a URL code that identifies customers visiting the company’s site through your advertising. It is actually the website address having a code attached to its end.
There are various ways of making money with the Affiliated Programs, if you can follow the proper ways. On searching you can find a lot of affiliate programs available in the net. What you will have to do is take some time and search for the right program for you. After you find the right one and sign up for it you will be given a website from where you will be able to start promoting the product. To get more visitors to your affiliate websites you have to learn to advertise online.
One of the very good ways of marketing your affiliate website is through pay per click advertising. Though it costs some money in the beginning, it is also one of the quickest ways to begin making money online. But for this you will have to educate yourself properly about the system or you may end up losing more money than what you make.
The second very effective method of advertising your affiliate programs is through free advertising like blogs, articles, social networking, traffic exchanges, etc. These don’t cost any money but takes more time than the paid methods.
The third good way for advertising your affiliate program is by buying a solo ad from a person having a number of loyal subscribers. Though this will also cost you a little amount of money but if you take your time and do some research it will bring you good money in the end. Thus no matter which way you use for advertising your affiliate programs, the most important thing is, unless you advertise well you will not be able to make any money.
E-Currency Trading
The other way to make money online fast is by E-Currency Trading. It has a number of benefits, from having a 24 hour market to low transaction costs which make it very appealing. Although it takes some time to build an income, e-currency trading is quite beneficial if you take the proper training.
Some of the various reasons for the popularity of e-currency trading are
i) Geographical versatility- As long as you have a computer with an internet connection, business can be done from anywhere in the world.
ii) 24-hour markets- All the time there are people trading around the world, so you can do business at any time suitable to you.
iii) Low Minimum Investment- Some of the markets on the internet have a low minimum investment, which creates many opportunities for people to start earning money without having to spend much.
iv) Low Transaction Cost- Due to low transaction costs in e-currency trading you have to spend a less amount of money on fees and can build up a good income flow. In this the only major transaction cost one has to bear with is the difference between the selling and buying price of each pair of currency.
We all know that Twitter is a fast-growing social network that allows you to send short messages about yourself or what you are doing. For instance, you may decide to share that you "just saw the movie He’s Just Not That Into You - Check it out." Or…you may want to say something like "Just got off the phone with Joel Comm and had a very insightful conversation."
As twitter grows and adapts their rules to accomodate the new user and people adding to their network the demand get more. I have noticed in the last few days that twitter times out quite frequently when you are trying to edit something on the website. I guess with all the demand on the server it is hard to keep up.
I also noticed that there seems to be a new twitter application or ebook on twitter that is released every other week. I have tested a few of the applications and found they work ok but I went back to what I normally use. As for the ebook’s that come out, free or paid ones, I feel that it is a lot of recycled information. I personally don’t know about the all the paid ones but free ones all read similar to me in my opinion.
There is one thing I can say about twitter. Since the launch of The $5 Twitter Trick I have noticed a lot of new subscribers to my twitter account. I seem to be getting like 30 new request per day but who is counting. I know if I applied using the trick myself, I’d probably get 10 times more follower to my twitter account. I did buy the book because it was only $5 and wanted to see if it was anything I haven’t learned already from previous books.
I’m not going to put down twitter, but is it such a great tool as everyone says it is for marketing? Do people make the sales they really say by using twitter? I think its just a fad that will last a year maybe or less in my opinion. I also think that lots of people spam on there. I know you can control who’s tweets you want to see if you use applications like Tweetdeck.
I guess the irony is that I use twitter too. Although I don’t have 13000 follower because my other account got flagged for so called spam like so many others. What is a reasonable amount of tweets you should shoot out there a day? Do you use it too keep the important people on you fav list so you catch their tweets?
