				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been super busy lately and have not been blogging like I would like to.  My life and my business has caused me to have to work on things one task at a time.  Good thing is my time is opening up and this is allowing me to work harder to reach my goals in web design and marketing.  I have set a high goal, but I know that I will achieve it and that in doing so it will help others!  My goal is to create 30 websites (and get 30 clients) in 30 days.  Now don&#8217;t let my high goal fool you for a minute!  These websites will be high quality websites that are affordable.  I am doing this to build my portfolio.  My biggest challenge I am facing in my business is not having a diverse portfolio to show people my talents.</p>
<h2>High Quality Websites That Are Affordable!</h2>

<p>Once you have asked yourself that you need to look at what they offer.  Are they available to help you out after the website is done?  Do they ensure you are 200% satisfied?  Do they treat your website as if it was their own personal website?  Another thing question that most won&#8217;t answer or think of is this.  &#8220;WHY DO THEY DO WHAT THEY DO?&#8221;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Before choosing one you should ask yourself Why Foot Prints on the Web should be your SEO Firm in Hollywood? Find out Why US!]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In forming a marketing firm I have realized that I have a lot of competition.  I have competition both locally and all over the world.  Many people create websites, many people can run social media campaigns, and many people can do Search Engine Optimization.  So the question that you must ask your self when looking at Foot Prints on the Web is, &#8220;Why Should Foot Prints on the Web be your SEO Firm in Hollywood?&#8221;  Well I want to explain, but the answer is not so simple.</p>
<h1>Number 1 Reason Foot Prints on the Web Should Be Your SEO Firm in Hollywood</h1>
<p>The number one reason you should choose Foot Prints on the Web to be your SEO Firm in Hollywood is the methods implemented.  There are so many ways that people approach SEO.  Search Engine Optimization is at best a beast that can&#8217;t be tamed.  But just like riding a bull people do it.  Our approach is very complex but objective so that even if the parameters of the search algorithm change we can quickly adapt.  I know that to the average reader that sounds confusing so let me break it down a bit.</p>
<p>Search Engine Optimization is simply the optimization of your website (and business for that matter) so that you can be found by people when they search.  In today&#8217;s technology driven world a business or even individual must be able to be found.  Whether you are an actor and trying to book gigs or a small business trying to build a larger client base YOU MUST BE FOUND.  As consumers we have changed the way we think.  We research and we look at the cost versus quality of the product or service.  We also look at factors like customer service.  Now many look at SEO as stand alone.  I look at it in conjunction with social media optimization because the two are quickly becoming intertwined.  Now to keep this simple and so that anybody can understand I will give you an easy example.</p>
<p>I am looking to buy an Apple laptop.  I need one to create mobile applications.  Now in the past people would look at ads in the Sunday paper or just go to the store and talk to a sales person.  They would look at the information provided and make a decision.  Now there are so many options.  I can buy a used on EBay.  I could order one from an online store.  The possibilities are endless.  So I already know I want an Apple laptop.  Now which one do I need to do what I want?  Well I have an idea so I will first will go to Apple&#8217;s website and look at laptops.  I will narrow it down to the model I want and the features it has.  I will then Google Apple and the laptop I am looking to purchase.  Now as I write this I am going through these steps.  When I Google MacBook Pro Reviews I get the following results on the first page:</p>
<ul>
<li>1. <a href="http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=5105&#038;review=apple+macbook+pro+13" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><u><strong>Apple 13-inch MacBook Pro Review</u></strong></a></li>
<li>2. <a href="http://computers.toptenreviews.com/laptops/apple/apple-reviews-15789.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><u><strong>Macbook Pro 2012 &#8211; TopTenREVIEWS</u></strong></a></li>
<li>3. <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/04/macbook-pro-review-early-2011/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><u><strong>MacBook Pro review (early 2011) &#8212; Engadget</u></strong></a></li>
<li>4. <a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/apple-macbook-pro-winter/4852-3121_7-34512751.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><u><strong>Apple MacBook Pro Winter 2011 User Reviews (2.2GHz Core i7, 15 &#8230;</u></strong></a></li>
<li>5. <a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2395429,00.asp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><u><strong>Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Late 2011) Review &#038; Rating | PCMag &#8230;</u></strong></a></li>
<li>10. <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=macbook+pro+reviews&#038;hl=en&#038;prmd=imvns&#038;source=univ&#038;tbm=vid&#038;tbo=u&#038;sa=X&#038;ei=HLpNT6MjoteJAomQ6KcL&#038;ved=0CJEBEKsE" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><u><strong>Videos for macbook pro reviews</u></strong></a></li>
</ul>
<p><clear br/ ></p>
<p>Now I stopped at 5 and skipped to 10 for a very important reason.  Many people will look for reviews on YouTube.  Face it in today&#8217;s society people want to find the information quick and watching a video is a quick way to find out what you need to know.  Now more than likely I (or anybody for that matter) won&#8217;t go further than the top 5 results.  The top 3 results are the most clicked on links in the search engines.  In the search for information and in the decision making process people will utilize this information to make a decision.  Now the next step in the process will be price research and then to check out what others are saying about the company they are thinking of buying from.  It is then that a decision is made.  This is when the person makes the purchase.  If you are not found then your business will miss out on sales that your competition will capitalize on.</p>
<blockquote><p>Our calculations revealed an 18.2% CTR for a No. 1 rank and 10.05% for No. 2. CTR for each position below the fold (Positions 5 and beyond) is below 4%. An interesting implication of our CTR curve is that for any given SERP, the percentage of users who click on an organic result in the top 10 is 52.32%. This makes sense and seems to be typical user behavior, as many Google users will window shop the SERP results and search again before clicking on a domain. &#8211; source <a href="http://www.seomoz.org/blog/mission-imposserpble-establishing-clickthrough-rates" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><strong><u><em>SEOMoz</em></u></strong></a></p></blockquote>
<p>I put my focus on Localized Search Engine Optimization and also long tail keywords that will get you in the top results quickly and with work you will stay there.  That is the MOST important thing in SEO.  Getting ranked and then  to stay there.  (Kind of my inspiration of naming it Foot Prints on the Web because I create foot prints on the web to help people get found!)  Now I am versed in the other areas of SEO and am capable of doing them, but why spend a lot of time and money for that matter on trying to beat big sites.  You will get much more target traffic that converts from localized SEO and long tail keywords.</p>
<p>I know I went off on a tangent, but I wanted to show you WHAT WE DO and WHY.  it is a big reason that you should take a serious look at hiring us to take care of your SEO needs.</p>
<h1>The Other Reasons Why You Should Choose Foot Prints on the Web as Your SEO Firm in Hollywood</h1>

		<description><![CDATA[Offsite search engine optimization is very important when it comes to your SEO strategy.  Learn how to implement proven strategies that work!]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday&#8217;s article <a href="http://footprintsontheweb.com/how-to-do-seo-search-engine-optimization-onsite-search-engine-optimization/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>&#8220;How To Do SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Onsite Search Engine Optimization&#8221;</strong></span></a> talked about the basics of Search Engine Optimization. It went into the aspects of What Search Engine Optimization is and also how to do onsite SEO. Today we will be discussing offsite search engine optimization and its equal importance in your search engine optimization of your website.</p>
<h1>What is Offsite Search Engine Optimization?</h1>
<p>Offsite Search Engine Optimization is the optimization of your website utilizing strategies that are done offiste. There are various strategies that are important when doing offsite SEO. You also want to consider the speed at which you do this. If you try to do too much when it comes to offsite search engine optimization then you will find that Google and other search engines will penalize you.</p>
<p>[quote_left]While Black Hat SEO practices may benefit you in the short term, more often than not they will have very negative long term effects.[/quote_left]Offsite search engine optimization includes backlinks, article marketing, directory listing, press releases, social bookmarking, and various other tasks. It is important that you learn proper ways of doing offsite search engine optimization. There are many companies out there and services that promise &#8220;Front Page Google&#8221; and utilize what is considered Black Hat SEO. Black Hat SEO includes spamming links into forums, blog posts, article spinning (not to be confused with article marketing), and various other methods that can get you quick results, but will put you at risk for getting flagged by search engines. Many times these practices will get you taken out of the search engine rankings all together and it is a very tedious task to get this problem resolved. I would stay away from this at all costs!</p>
<h1>Where Should I Begin With Offsite Search Engine Optimization</h1>
<p>The first thing that you need to do is to submit your site to the search engines. It is a very easy task to do and also is free. Don&#8217;t be fooled by companies promising better rankings for paid submission. The major search engines you should be concerned with are Google and Bing. Bing and Yahoo! have joined forces so by submitting your site to Bing you will also be submitting your site to Yahoo! To do this you need to have accounts with the perspective sites. For Google I suggest that you setup a <a href="http://www.google.com/webmasters/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Google Webmasters</strong></span></a> account. There you can submit your sitemap and this will allow Google to crawl your site. You can test out to see if you site is crawling properly along with many other tasks. You also need to setup an account with <a href="http://www.bing.com/toolbox/webmaster" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Bing Webmaster Tools</strong></span></a></p>
<p>Depending on your niche market that you are in and the type of content that your website has on it will determine where to begin. I suggest that you find high ranking directories that are related to your market and get listed in those. You can do a simple search through Google (or other search engine) to find these directories. Some of these directories cost and some of them are free, but it is worth the investment to get listed. By getting listed in the directory you are getting a backlink that is from a high ranking site. This will help you in your Search Engine Optimization plan over the long term. Be careful that you don&#8217;t put your site on too many directories or on ones that are considered spammy. Utilize your search engine to find out the best directories. When considering this if you are a business you want to ensure that you listed in <a href="http://yelp.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Yelp</strong></span></a>, <a href="http://www.google.com/places/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Google Places</strong></span></a>, and other niche specific directories. These will prove beneficial to you in getting found by search engines.</p>
<p>Another aspect of offsite optimization includes obtaining backlinks. This can prove to be a very tricky process. When considering places to obtain backlinks you need to ensure that the site is relevant to your content, the placement of the backlink, the anchor text (the words that the link are attached to), authority of the site (Page Rank), the number of out going links the site already has, and various other factors. This process can take some time to learn, but don&#8217;t get discouraged. If you have submitted your site to the search engines and have listed your site on directories then you have already made some good progress. I will talk more in later posts on backlink strategy.</p>
<h1>Social Bookmarking and Article Marketing for Offsite Search Engine Optimization</h1>
<p>[quote_right]Google + is a powerful way for you to get your website and content indexed in the search engines. Google has included content syndicated in Google + in it&#8217;s search results.[/quote_right]The last two ways to do offsite search engine optimization are very simple. The first is Social Bookmarking. Social Bookmarking is simply bookmarking your site through the various social bookmarking sites. The major sites include <a href="https://plus.google.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Google +</strong></span></a> (which is also a social media site), <a href="http://reddit.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Reddit</strong></span></a>, <a href="http://digg.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Digg</strong></span></a>, <a href="http://stumbleupon" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>StumbleUpon</strong></span></a>, <a href="http://delicious.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Delicious</strong></span></a>, and various other sites. If you stick to those sites you will be good. You simply sign up for a free account with the sites and then you bookmark your content. The most important thing to understand is the keywords you utilize and the title. With Google + you will not be able to use keywords so you need to ensure that your title is keyword rich. (I will be doing my next article on keyword research.) Once you have bookmarked the sites you will see that you will get traffic from doing this. This will prove to be just as powerful as organic search traffic. Most of the traffic you get form the social bookmarking sites will come from people who are searching for specific content on your site (This is why keywords and titles are very important!).</p>
<p>The last method is article marketing. Article marketing is a very tedious task, but will help you get one way backlinks from high ranking sites. Before you start on article marketing it is important that you understand keywords and the proper placement. You also have to ensure that you are placing your articles on sites that have authority and that you do not put too many articles out there at a time.</p>
<p>You should be well on your way to getting a good start with the offsite SEO of your site. If you have questions or comments feel free to leave them below. In my next post I will go in depth on keyword research as it is very important to search engine optimization offsite and onsite. If you don&#8217;t do proper keyword research and implementation the rest of your work will be in vain.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people find search engine optimization, also known as SEO, a daunting task that should be avoided at all costs.  The truth be told SEO is not a difficult task, but it does take time to learn the basics.  Search engine optimization is essential if you have a website.  One must either learn to implement proper search engine optimization or they must outsource the task.  In today&#8217;s post we will be helping you to learn How to do SEO with a focus on onsite SEO.</p>
<h1>What is Search Engine Optimization?</h1>
<p>Search engine optimization is a two fold task of optimizing a website for search engines.  SEO can be broke down into two categories.  The first category is on site search engine optimization and the second is offsite SEO.  Both of these are equally important, but when starting you should focus with onsite optimization.</p>
<p>Search engines are used daily to find information, products, and services.  It doesn&#8217;t matter what you are offering on your website it is important that your site is optimized so that the search engines can crawl your site and then index the information in the search engines.  The most popularly used search engine is Google.  To start out you should put most of your focus on optimizing your website for Google.  Other search engines include Yahoo!, Bing, Ask, and various others.  Bing and Yahoo! have recently combined forces and Bing is the main catalyst in ranking for either of the search engines.</p>
<h1>3 Key Elements of Onsite Search Engine Optimization</h1>
<p>The first element that is key in how to do SEO for your website for proper SEO is meta data.  Meta data is simply the use of meta title, meta description, and meta keywords.  The meta title is the Title of your page.  These elements are contained within the header of your web page.   The meta title should contain a title that is 60 characters or less that is descriptive and relevant to the content on the page.  The title should utilize appropriate keywords to help you to rank higher in search engine results.  The meta description is more for information, but is just as important.  The description should tell the reader what they should expect to find on the page.  It is a good practice to put a call to action that will entice the reader to click on and also to read the content on your web page.  The last is the meta keywords.  The meta keywords will tell Google and other search engines what keywords (and content) will be found on your web page.  It is important that you take the proper time to do keyword research before creating a your web page. (More information will be talked about later on keyword research.)</p>
<p>The second element of onsite search engine optimization is a site map.  Creating a site map is essential for search engine optimization.  A sitemap is a file that tells the search engines what content is on your website.  The file will be found in the main folder of your website and is used by the search engine to crawl your website.  It tells the location and also the type of content on your site.</p>
<p>[quote_left]When creating content for your website you should ensure that your audience is given top priority and search engine optimization be second.[/quote_left] The third element is content.  You can have the other two elements of onsite optimization, but if you don&#8217;t take the time to create unique content then you will find yourself scratching your head.  You need to ensure that your content is laid out in the appropriate manner and also in an easy to read format.  Content is ultimately for the user, but is also important in the onsite optimization process.  To help the reader and search engines index your content the use of proper header tags is important.  A header tag is used to break content up into sections and also is used by search engines help index content.  There are six header tags (H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, and H6).  Header tags should be utilized with keywords to help in the indexing and ranking process, but also to help in making the content easier to read for the user.</p>
