Then I have two suggestions for you. The first one is to check out the webmaster seciton on the google support page. It offers suggestions from the Google Team on what they believe your site structure should look like as well as many other tips. You can find this information at the Google Help Page.

If you prefer to set back and relax while getting suggestions from the Google Team then check out the Google Webmaster Help section on YouTube. It has many videos from Google Engineer Matt Cutts as well as other Googlers sharing information, commenting on other webmasters questions and more.

Check them out and let me know what you think.

Now of course Shoemoney is a SEO / Web Marketing Hero, how does that affect a SEOLoser like myself. I do not currently have a site that even gets 25,000 visits per month. Well, on a smaller scale Twitter and the other social network sites are very helpful in bringing traffic to your sites. I launched the Twitter account for this site on May 5th, and I am currently getting about 6 visits per day from Twitter and the rest of the Twittosphere. If that pace continues and say that goes to 60 within a couple of months, or 4-500 visits per day in a year, that is a nice extra traffic boost for me.

If you have not used this services to attempt to drive traffic to your site give it a try. If you have, let us know the results.

Thanks for reading.

At one point I had a forum, which I still have, which was doing over 1000 visits per day. It lasted about six weeks and was gone, back to the 2-300 visits per month it gets now. Not a very profitable site, but still something I am glad to have.

I registered an expired domain that for 6 weeks received about 800 visits per day, mostly from Yahoo. The previous owner of the domain seemed to use some black hat techniques that paid off for a short time for me. After the 6 weeks, it was down to 14 mostly type in visits a day. I have tried to get the website un-banned with emails to yahoo and resubmissions with no luck. A very profitable 6 weeks is all that I received out of this site, but it was still the best earning two months that I have had with a site.

Have you had any past successes that you can share? Please comment.

Hopefully you were at the conference, but if you might have missed these SEO Tips they will be of interest to you.

Most search engine visitors scan the results page looking specifically for a title that catches their eye and appears to be targeted to their search. The title , on the first page, that most likely matches their search query will usually be the first one they click. When you are making your titles, and I hope that you do put thought into creating titles that are unique for each page. Make sure the title is related to the on page content that you are delivering on that specific individual page. If your site is about Mortgages and you have a page that specifically talks about Heloc Loans, make sure that title properly reflects that individual page.

If you do not have unique titles across your page, search engines can consider the page Duplicate Content and that page will be filtered and most likely not help your traffic. It could even end up in the supplemental index. When updating your titles, also consider unique, on-content, meta keywords and descriptions as well. Again, to not be flagged as duplicate content.

When writing your titles and meta tags, I would suggest that you put your primary keyword at the front of these. Make your title “Mortgage information and advice on Interest Rates, Terms, and More” Instead of “Information and advice of different types of Mortgages” or “Jimmy’s Loan Company” or “Home Page”.

Remember, your Title and Meta Description are like a free Adwords ad. They are the copy that you are using to try and convince a search engine visitor to choose your site. Make them appealing to that visitor, and you will have a higher CTR (Click Thru Rate), and you will also likely see improved rankings in the search engines from have unique titles on each page.

The wealth of information and knowledge that are packed into those forums will amaze you. Some of the top players in the SEO / SEM field participate and at times share information that you do not see in the general public. If you have not yet joined and become a supporter at webmasterworld, now is the time to do so if you are tired of being a SEO Loser.
