iNetGlobal provides Internet Services For Small Business

In his presentation at PubCon last week in Las Vegas, Matt Cutts from Google said there is strong lobbying in Google to introduce a new ranking factor into their search algorithm.

This new ranking factor will measure how fast a site or page loads. Matt described this as one of his ‘what to expect in 2010′ bullet points in his Electrifying presentation.

He explained that Google wants searching to be real fast, as if you are browsing through a magazine. Part of this is making sure that faster web pages rank better than the slower ones.

Matt went on to further explain that page speed is already a factor in the search ad AdWords quality score and there is currently a strong push to make it a factor in the organic ranking algorithm as well . He basically implied that in 2010, this will be an additional factor for search ranking.

Here Are 2 Main Points:

(1) There are over 200 ranking factors in the algorithm and each are weighted differently. If I had to guess, page speed would not be a tremendously weighed factor, unless the site takes 90 seconds to load.

(2) I monitor complaints from the AdWords (and organic) side of webmasters and virtually no one complains that their quality score is low because of having a slow site. I would have to assume the same speed criteria would be applied from the quality score page speed requirements to the organic side of things. So if advertisers rarely, if never, complain about it – one would assume non-advertisers would also not complain much about that as a reason for their site’s poor ranking.

This makes a lot of sense, a faster loading site should rank better than a slow loading one. Besides, nobody has the patience to wait around for a site to load.

11 Effective, Efficient Ways To Use Limited Time To Build Links

Today’s article is from guest Blogger is Debra Mastaler.

I visit most of the SEO forums at least once a week to keep up with what’s going on in the link building community. This past week was fairly quiet, but over on the HighRankings Forum, a thread on time management vs. link building efforts caught my eye. A webmaster wanted to know the best way to go about securing quality links if he only had a limited amount of time to do so. Since this is a good question and a situation many of us experience, I thought I’d add my two cents to the discussion.

How would you use your time to build links?

Here’s the gist of what the webmaster asked:

I’m currently working on a price comparison type site…We don’t have any competitors doing the same as us….I was hoping that people would be able to advise me on the best use of my time for this. If you had 2 days a week to devote to link-building for a site that you genuinely believed to be link-worthy then how would you use the time?

Here are 11 ways to build links efficiently:

1. Since this is a product comparison service, participating companies probably know their products are being showcased, but I’d make sure and contact each directly. Create marketing collateral which highlights the benefits of being included on the comparison site and send it to each company partner. Include  copy and paste “link to us” code  and encourage linking by offering an incentive to link. If you haven’t already, ask for permission to use their brand name in your advertising to avoid trademark issues down the road.

2. Find out if any of the participating companies sends a newsletter to its customers; if yes, offer to provide link embedded content and/or offer to purchase the mailing list for a promotional mailing of your own.

3. Use the content you created for the newsletter, lengthen (or shorten), embellish with additional facts and verbiage from other comparisons, distribute to the article directories.

4. Develop a list of media and blogger contacts who write about the types of products you’re comparing. Write to each, point out you have a comparison service and ask if they’d like to become a resident “expert” in their respective category. They’ll be featured on the site in return for providing “expert views” on the products you’re hosting. If they accept, issue a press release announcing their involvement, optimize it for industry keywords and the name of the journalist/blogger. Allow them to reprint the review on their blogs/sites with proper accreditation.

5. Create a Flickr stream using product images (only those you have permission for.) No link juice here, but great exposure. Issue press release when this resource is up and running.

6. Create a Facebook page for the comparison service, update through Twitter feed and daily with new comparisons. Encourage any company featured on comparison search to join.

7. Run keyword searches and brand name searches on Twitter, friend those people and engage. Create a special promotion for this group, email and ask for link. Use keywords in your Twitter bio to attract followers.

8. Invest in a tool to automatically tweet comparisons 24/7 by keyword and brand name. Use an occasional tweet to ask for a link.

9. Write content on everything you’re comparing and add it to a resource center on your site. Promote this content center through press releases, to your media database and your customers. Add “link to us” information on these pages.

And finally, the last one is a biggie, as it relates to your business and attracting high quality authority links.

10. Join and get involved in the  industry associations your products represent,  including the  benchmarking associations. Create detailed, graphic rich reports from your statistics and customer feedback. Offer the reports to the associations to use and link to in their studies, blogs and newsletters. Here’s a directory listing of associations by industry to get you started.

11. Pitch industry journalists with your detailed comparison reports, offer to write a year-end wrap up and New Year forecast based on your research. Create a text version, a video version and an audio version.

If you’re strapped for time but need links, focus on getting the attention of people and sites who can channel their credibility to your business in short order. The media and bloggers will keep your information in the public eye and provide a little link juice as well, but industry authorities such as associations will give you the long-term public and algorithmic boost you need to rank well.

In a follow up to iNetGlobal Internet Service Success Story I have to say we were pleasantly surprised with the overwhelming number of comments on our last iNetGlobal post. Today we will focus on the iNetGlobal Services.

Ezze.net - CashCards.net

Just to provide a little background, we started providing basic Internet Services online back in 1998 as Ezze.Net and then in 2001 began to focus exclusively on Online Payment Services with CashCards.net. And this became our Core Business for several years. Around 2005 the Online Payment industry began to decline and we began to look at other options to expand the business.

After evaluation the strengths of our company we decided the best choice was to go Back To Our Roots as a service provider, and expand our offering of Internet Services for Business.

So in 2006 we set up the Inter-Mark Corporation, to provide our Internet Services through a Direct Sales organization. After several months of trial and error we finally hit on the right combination of Services and in July 2008 we introduced iNetGlobal.

This was a result of our need to consolidate all of the great Internet Services we were providing into one easy to understand package. Now 15 month later iNetGlobal has emerged as one of the Fastest Growing Internet Service Companies in the world.

iNetGlobal Internet Services For Business

Since the introduction of iNetGlobal back in July, 2008 we have been growing steadily. It has been a slow but steady growth. Now in the last few month the business has really taken off and we are experiencing Explosive Growth.

Recently we have come into the radar of the Inc 500. We have spoken with representatives of Inc 500 and will be considered for inclusion in the 2010 Business Ranking List

We will be placing a full page ad in the Dec/Jan 2010 issue that will feature the iNetGlobal Business Opportunity.

This marks a milestone in the development of the company, and as we move into the new year the future looks very good. We are expecting even bigger growth in 2010.

Since the introduction of the iNetSurf Platform, the business has really taken off. This has been a great Traffic Generation tool for the Small Business person. It was a hit at the recent Internet Marketing Services San Gabriel Seminar, with over 100 people in attendance for the 2 day event.

Effective and Affordable the iNetSurf “Pay Per View” platform allows small business owners to get their web site in front of an audience of 1,000 of subscribers from around the world.

Here is a recent comment from the Warrior Forum from a member (ROBSHAW33) who runs an Affiliate Sales web site over at at ClickBank.

“About 3 weeks ago i suddenly noticed a surge of traffic and checking out the referrers, it came back as inetglobal.com it happened simultaneously on both my clickbank product websites -
I had recently paid for some seo but only to one of the sites has this happened to anyone else - is it something to do with clickbank?

Icertainly havent paid for any advertising or anything or joined any scheme. Ddoes anyone know whats going on there? I’m very suspicious of anything that seems too good to be true - it usually is thanks for any help - rob”

I commented back to Rob:

“Hi Rob,
Looks like one of your Affiliates has placed your offer on our “iNetSurf” platform. This will definitely get you some immediate traffic, as we currently have over 25,000 active subscribers to the site.

Good Luck with your Online Sales!”

Rob is just one of the many Affiliate Product sales sites our advertisers run on the iNetSurf “Pay Per View” platform. We call it Pay Per View, because that’s exactly what it is. Advertisers pay each time their site is viewed on the iNetSurfing Rotator.

The retail cost per view is $1.00 with a minimum of $20 AdCredit Purchase (AdPac). iNetGlobal always Matches AdPac Purchases 100%. so the effective cost is $0.50 per view.

Preferred Customers can get a 30% discount. Consultants can get a 50% Discount plus additional “Volume Bonuses” which can actually get their advertising cost down to Zero ($00.00).

Through the iNetGlobal Compensation Plan Consultants can actually Make Money while placing ads not only on the iNetSurf Platform, but on the Acesse.com Search Engine.

Ran across this cool post on Basic Video Optimization by Michelle Bowles over at TopRankBlog.com. This is one smart lady! Michelle shows you how to get the most from your “Digital Assets”. She offers 5 cool SEO Tips, and I added one for you, enjoy!

1. Optimize with keywords.
Just like any type of text-based content, video SEO involves optimizing with target relevant keywords — both for search engines and for user experience. Use keywords in:

• File name
• Title
• Tags
• URL
• Link text

Beyond that, include a paragraph of optimized text that provides a brief description of the video. Again, the benefits are twofold: You’ll improve the user experience and your search rankings.

2. Distribute videos on video-sharing sites.
In addition to posting videos on your own site, video-sharing sites are effective tools for gaining visibility and additional links. Remember these few points to maximize results:

• Don’t forget that videos hosted on YouTube and other video-sharing sites should be optimized for keywords
• YouTube channel pages — and those of other video-sharing sites — should be optimized, as well
• Use a video distribution service like TubeMogul to deploy your videos to the top sharing sites

3. Implement a linking strategy.
Video is judged by the same linking standards as all other forms of digital content. So building both internal and external links is crucial for video SEO. Ideas for a linking strategy include:

• Cross-linking to other videos
• Linking to videos from relevant web pages
• Linking to videos in blog posts
• Tweeting the video
• Linking to videos from social media pages
• Bookmarking the video

4. Encourage viewers to share your videos.
First thing is first — if you want users to share your videos, you must create content worth sharing. If your video isn’t interesting, relevant, entertaining or informative, users aren’t likely to share it, let alone view it. From there:

• Allow and encourage users to comment on the video
• Make it easy for users to share your video on You Tube, Twitter, Facebook and MySpace
• Offer video content in multiple formats so users can choose the one that best suited to their platform and connectivity speed

5. Re-purpose your videos.
As with text content, the more optimized video, the better. Get creative in order to re-purpose videos across the web:

• Embed videos in blog posts
• Break up long videos and create multiple shorter ones
• Use transcriptions of videos to create blog posts or content for web pages
• Take screen shots from videos and post them to Flickr and other image-sharing sites
• Turn offline content, such as training videos or videos of a conference keynote speech, into optimized digital assets for your website.

6. Auto-Start Videos

Another cool tip is to Auto-Start your videos. This can easily be accomplished in YouTube by adding a piece of code behind the video URL string in the Embed Code. The code is: autoplay=1

Example:

The URL: http://www.youtube.com/v/Jx7iwQBVm18&hl=en&fs=1&

You Add: URL is: http://www.youtube.com/v/Jx7iwQBVm18&hl=en&fs=1&autoplay=1

When you Auto-Start videos it creates more plays in YouTube which will increase your ratings.
