Imagine being a world class motivational speaker today-what would it take to be called on consistently by Fortune 500 Companies? It's fair to say that there is a great deal of cynicism and skepticism out there today, right? Most of us got exposed to a motivational speaker sometime in high school.

Once the organization's challenges are known; what goes better than humor in helping to solve the issues and making the audience the hero's of your presentation.

SEO Meeting Colorado Springs

2010-07-21T15:05:00.006-06:00

Yesterday I went to Monument, Colorado right outside of Colorado Springs to meet with a potential SEO client. Their main business consists of replacement windows, patio doors and entry doors. They don't show up anywhere in a Google search for any of those terms; and with their current website, the spiders will never be able to index their currnet site.

Their SEO problems start with the title bar-their name is prominently displayed with no mention of replacement windows, patio doors or entry doors. it gets worse-their entire home page is an image of text; Google is not reading it! I looked to see how many pages of the site that Google has indexed and the results are a grand total of two indexed pages by Google. Interestingly enough, they have a PR of 4 with no inbound links! The good news is the domain name has been hosted since 2001.

The navigation and site architecture needs help-those poor spiders will never find their way through this site! The navigation starts in the sidebar and continues on towards the bottom of the page-don't do this ;)

They actually carry very well known and quality brands including Andersen, Marvin, Velux, Cascade, and Solatube to name a few. When I clicked on the Andersen Windows tab it took me to a canned page of content from Andersen window. Rae Hoffman has a very timely article about why you should never steal content. While this Clint is not stealing content; they are missing the boat by not having unique and authoritative content. Rae gives a great overview on How to write your own quality content.

If this site sounds anything like your current site-do yourself a favor and call the SEO experts. Get rid of the trash site and start with a new site that will actually give you a chance to show up in the searches!!

Denver Colorado Ski Accident Lawyer

2009-11-24T15:54:00.007-07:00

Colorado is home to some of the premier ski resorts in the world. This is the week of Thanksgiving and all of the major ski areas in Colorado are now open including Vail and Aspen Colorado ski areas. As I walked through Denver International airport today I could see the skiers flocking to the champagne powder of the Colorado ski slopes.
Many skiers have found throughout the years that there is more to worry about than inflicting injury on themselves; they are becoming acutely aware that they also need to look out for negligent skiers and faulty machinery at the ski resorts.

Many of Colorado's skiers are from out of state and if they are injured they quickly find out that they need the expertise of an experienced Colorado ski injury lawyer. Ski injury accidents have unique aspects to them and there is no substitute for experience. One of the main reasons is the fact that your case will almost always have to be prosecuted in Colorado's state or federal courts. The other important ingredient is an experienced ski injury lawyer and allow me to introduce you to Randy Kelly of the personal injury law firm of Irwin-Boesen.

Randy has been successfully litigating ski injury accidents in Colorado for over 20 years. He can quickly tell you if you have a case and ensure that you preserve your rights by acting quickly. Randy offers you a free initial consultation and can be reached in Denver, Colorado by calling 303-320-1911 or toll free at 800-964-1911

Denver Auto Repair

2009-08-05T10:07:00.003-06:00

I was speaking to some Denver auto repair owners on Tuesday who specialize in Toyota and Lexus auto repair. Yes, even auto repair owners are interested in learning about search engine optimization (SEO) and how it can help them enhance their web presence. Our Denver SEO firm continues to see many small business owners migrate away from the Yellow Pages and stake their claim on the Internet.

There continues to be a great deal of confusion about what constitutes SEO and the delineation between SEO and pay per click. Many of the Denver auto repair dealers had participated in some pay per click programs-with mixed results. At the end of the day, they were most interested in how SEO could help them achieve a more prominent position in the searches and show up organically, or free, in the searches.
It was great meeting with these owners and discussing some of the fundamentals of good SEO including:

Good site architecture
Relevant and authoritative copy
Incoming links that are relevant and authoritative
Best blogging practices
Using Social Media to drive traffic

If your associaton or meeting needs a SEO speaker who will teach your members the fundamentals of good SEO please feel free to call me at 303-619-8972

Domain Names and SEO

2009-03-30T15:51:00.004-06:00

I received a call from a client here in Denver, Colorado. He is in the process of writing a book and was agonizing over just the right domain name. He wants to do a blog and his book is along the lines of abundance. He wanted to know from a SEO perspective if it would be better to use his name or a descriptive domain name with keywords.
From a personal standpoint I like to use domain names that are descriptive of what you do or offer and have a great keyword or two. I say that for a couple of reasons: keywords in your domain will never hurt and hopefully it will keep you on track to the theme of the blog. For example, if my blog title is Denver SEO Speaker-I need to keep with that general theme in order to have a meaningful presence in the searches. Conversely, if my domain name were Steve Mertz I could be all over the board in my writing. The most important thing to remember is to use keyword rich titles in your blog posts and support those titles with unique content that actually uses the keywords and phrases you want to rank for.
Last point-when you have people link to your blog ask them to use descriptive keywords that are relevant to your SEO efforts. There is no substitute for quality inbound links that include your important keywords.

Here is an interesting article and comments from Problogger on How to Choose a Domain Name.

Google Adwords

2008-12-22T15:35:00.002-07:00

When speaking to audiences on Search engine optimization (SEO) the question of AdWords inevitably comes up. Some folks claim that AdWords is SEO... I'm not in that camp but Google AdWords can be a useful tool while you are working on your organic search results.

The New York Times recently had an article talking about marketers honing the focus of search ads. They were interviewing Jessica Jensen of the site Low Impact Living. She says she has not cut back spending on search advertising and says: "I can't stop advertising, so instead I'm spending every dollar and dime efficiently."
She mentions that during last year's holidays, she marketed products such as energy-efficient LED lighting fixtures. This year she's all about products that help cut utility bills-seems to me like we are talking about similar items. While AdWords do allow you to turn on a dime a refocus your marketing efforts; it appears that a good SEO campaign could also help her efforts.

At the end of the day, if she's spending $20,000 a month on AdWords more power to her-so long as she is netting $50,000! Use AdWords correctly and they can help but don't forget about solid SEO strategies that have withstood the test of time.

SEO and Social Sites

2008-12-10T17:24:00.006-07:00

Here are a few of my favorite social sites to help promote your online presence.

The first is Naymz. This is a good site to make contacts, expand your exposure and reputation management.
The next is LindedIn. A great site for increased exposure and if you are willing to work- a great source for making additional contacts to help build your business.
Another one is Amazon. It's a great place to review books, build community and work on reputation management.
How about Facebook-not just for kids!
Don't forget about the power of YouTube-a great tool for reputation management and SEO search results.

Enjoy!
