Free WordPress Social Media Plugin for Attracting FB Likes

Marketing Strategy

I just came across this WordPress plugin today (so I haven’t had time to try it out personally yet), but I thought it sounded so useful that I’d post it on the site for readers to try out – it’s called “Like Gate” and I think it could be a great marketing tool for giving website visitors an incentive to “Like” your articles or webpages (…..thereby giving you free exposure to all their friends on FaceBook without you doing any work, and also improving your SEO and traffic….). So for example you could offer your visitors access to a download link for a free plugin, or ebook or other products in return for them “Liking” your webpage.

Black Hat SEO – A Bad Idea Disguised As A Cunning Plan

Black Hat SEO - A Bad Idea Disguised As A Cunning Plan

Since the development of Search Engine Optimization as a concept, there has been an obvious temptation for some people to try to cheat the system. Because the whole premise of SEO is that keywords create cash, the idea occurred to a lot of people that this could be taken to the extreme, and can best be summed up as: “If they want keyword volume, then we’ll give them keyword volume”. This tends to occur in the shape of website text that contains nothing but keywords (this practice is known as “Keyword Stuffing”). It’s keywords on steroids, and just like using steroids in sport it is still regarded as cheating.

SEO: A Tool For Boosting Your Ranking, Not A Silver Bullet

There are many people who have just enough knowledge of the way the Internet and search engines work to know that search engine optimization is important, but not enough knowledge to know that it will not just solve all your problems. SEO is not something you can apply and then sit back and wait for people to visit your website. Yes, it is important and it is an extremely clever concept, but the incorrect application of SEO will no more increase your website traffic than handing out free balloons will make an ice cream shop’s profits go through the roof. Yes, it can help; no, it is not the whole deal.

Eventually, the term SEO – and it’s importance – will crop up, along with the help guides telling you how to do it yourself.  Doing it yourself is a lot cheaper than outsourcing to a company, so why should you bother?

Is There Such A Thing As Too Much SEO?

Is There Such A Thing As Too Much SEO?

It is obviously not easy to write good, SEO-compliant content for a website and still have a standard of content which will impress your readers, and this often shows in the more amateurish attempts at writing a website. One mistake a lot of people make is in thinking that the more they use a keyword, the better it will be for their website. This often results in the writer frequently using the keyword once every other sentence or a similar density. Their reasoning is understandable. If some SEO is good, then a lot of SEO will surely be excellent?

What Is SEO?

“SEO” stands for “search engine optimization”, and as the name would suggest, it’s all about utilizing your website so that search engines can find it easily.

When someone searches for a website, they will key a few choice words in to their chosen search engine. For example, if they’re looking for a restaurant in New York, they’ll probably type something like: “good new york restaurant” or even just “new york restaurant”. SEO is all about making sure your website appears at the top of the search results for any given phrase like this.
