Richmond, VA (PRWEB) October 2, 2007 — A pre-release of the new book, SEO Notebook by SEOpartner.com, promises to give business Website owners and Webmasters leverage in real-world SEO techniques and strategies. Scheduled for full release through Borders, Amazon and Barnes & Noble on November 1, 2007, there will be 5,000 advance copies of SEO Notebook released on October 2, 2007 available through www.theSEOnotebook.com.

Over half of all first time website visitors reach their destination through a search engine. Today, the Google™ search engine indexes over eight billion web pages. Webmasters vie for the top spot using specific search terms (keywords). However, the average web page has one-half million or more competitors for each keyword. Search Engine Optimization is widely recognized as the most efficient manner of free targeted Website visitors. Successful SEO methods however, remain allusive to those who need them most - business Website owners and Webmasters. SEO Notebook fills that void with a compilation of successful SEO methods, formulas and strategies that answer real questions proposed by Website business owners and Webmasters.

Unique in many ways, SEO Notebook is a compilation of hard-hitting answers, tips, and insider tricks of the trade composed by top SEO experts who offer advice and insight on www.SEOpartner.com. A popular blog, SEOpartner.com made it to the number one position on Google™, Yahoo! ™, MSN™ and other top search engines in less than ten days. It has stayed on top since its debut (two years running at #1) by using the same information presented in SEO Notebook.

In addition to tips, SEO Notebook offers the "BIG 3″ - special insights enabling busy readers to improve their odds of success while minimizing time, effort and expense. For example, the budget-conscious search engine optimization software available at www.SEOeliteWeb.com helped one of the authors obtain 121 top five rankings on Google, in less than three weeks, thus earning a spot in the "BIG 3." Above all, information like this is why Scott Jason, President of SEO Project Management Group, stated, "Any Website owner who reads SEO Notebook will enjoy an unfair advantage over their competition."

Advance book sales of SEO Notebook will be limited to 5,000 copies to ensure that purchasers receive a truly unique advantage over their competition. Book purchases can be made beginning October 2, 2007 by visiting www.theSEOnotebook.com. The price of this no-nonsense 61-page insider’s guide is $9.95 paperback or $5.95 for the PDF immediate download.

The best way to get the targeted traffic you want is through search engines. And to do that, you either need to repeatedly spend cash on buying keywords or optimize your site to let the search engines find you on their own. I’m not a big fan of bidding on keywords and hoping my competition (and their friends) are not clicking on my paid results and draining my bank account, so let’s focus on web optimization. 

I started my career in SEO (search engine optimization) back in 1997. Ten years went by way too fast but it also gave me exposure to some of the best and worst SEO tips, tricks and products available.

My first three years I did all optimization without tools, from scratch. Well, really I had little choice back in the day. Today however we have many choices - in fact, too many for my taste. Today, there are plenty of greedy software companies out there that want your hard-earned money - and they’ll promise a lot to get it. They know that most people who would rather invest a couple hundred dollars for the promise of quick results and avoided frustration and headache.

While I agree with the quick results and avoiding pain and frustration whenever possible, I can’t stand companies that prey on our very human instincts. So let’s avoid them, shall we?

As for me, I have used several major SEO software tools - and profited well from a couple. My first investment was in Web Position Gold back in 2000 - but at $389 plus annual renewal fees it was expensive and not all I had dreamed of. Always looking for more bang for the buck, I bought a couple more (not worth mentioning here). Finally I tried lucky number four; SEO Elite. At $167 with free updates, I bought it within a few hours of using the trial version and have used it ever since.

Please Note:This is NOT an endorsement but I need to give credit where credit is due. Using SEO Elite I got 121 top 5 placements on Google in 29 days (mostly 1’s and 2’s). That’s better than I had ever done before; with or without seo software. Always curious, I’ve downloaded trial versions of other apps and still do. But so far SEO Elite out-performs them all and costs less than most. It has helped me expand to a Richmond SEO branch with almost no effort.

Anyway, it’s got my vote for best seo software pick from a timesaving, results producing, money saving point of view. It looks like my five minutes on the soapbox is over so bye for now.

Good luck and be careful out there!

It’s official – SEO Partner has begun Beta testing of an all-new search engine optimization product. On Saturday February 11, 2006 we completed SEO Phantom Beta Release 1 and put it to work on www.MySearchEnginePlacement.com, a brand new website completed and published just one hour before we put SEO Phantom to work.

At this time My Search Engine Placement is a brand new website with 0 inbound links and 0 placement on any search engines. We have taken some screenshots with timestamps to chronicle our progress in this effort. We are hoping to have cause to celebrate in the next couple months.

As you probably guessed, we are going for the gold – trying to attain top placement for nearly impossible search terms related to search engine placement and search engine optimization. Wish us luck!

We are trying something a little different here. It involves a new SEO product we are developing and Google’s AdSense.

More on this later, but for now, let’s just say we have a mission!

SEO on the Go!

Most of us with Websites to optimize only have limited time and/or resources to do so. Working full-time at our day job, it’s usually not a good idea to install SEO software on the work computer for lunchtime SEO. That leaves our optimization time to whatever we can squeeze in after a full day of work and hopefully some quality time at home.

I’ve been there - believe me. The other painful thing was trying to afford an SEO consultant. The really good ones were way too expensive so I bought lots of books. Some were really bad (but I didn’t know enough to realize it at the time).

I finally made it as an SEO professional and Web designer, but it took a lot of research and a good plan. I’d like to share that information with you now. Just take the ideas that work for you and leave the rest.

Information:

Whoever said, “Knowledge is power” must have been psychic and thinking about search engine optimization. When it comes to SEO you really need the latest and greatest information. That said; there are books that I wholeheartedly recommend for real “SEO on the Go”. The first is a good mass-market publication - ‘Search Engine Optimization for Dummies’ at $24.99 soft cover or $16.99 digital (Amazon.com link is way to long to include). The second is a lesser-known gem - ‘SEO Answer Book’ available at Amazon.com or through http://www.SEOAnswerBook.com. Written specifically for Website owners, Webmasters and up and coming SEO Professionals – each with their own special section, you’re getting 160 pages of consulting advice from $300 per hour SEO professionals ($19.99 soft cover or $12.25 digital).

Tools:

If you are trying to optimize your site, don’t spend a ton of money on expensive tools unless you really need to. So many are free these days and some can even be used online, which is where we’ll concentrate.

First let’s focus on keywords. Hands down, Overture’s keyword suggestion tool is the best I’ve ever used online. It’s located at http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ and has been around a long time. But even if you’ve used it, here’s something you might not know… Take the number of searches reported times five and that’s about how many searches were conducted on Google (it used to be 8X before Yahoo! dropped Google for search results).

For all other SEO tools, try http://www.seopartner.com/ (tool links on right). We have over a dozen great SEO tools already and add at least one new one each week based on visitor suggestions. You’ll find standard tools like a nice rank checker but you’ll also find real SEO specialist stuff like an IP address checker to tell if your site is static or dynamic, a nice keyword density analyzer, broken links checker, META tag generator, deep link analyzer – even a spider simulator and more. It’s definitely worth a visit.

Now that you’ve got the portable knowledge resources and the great online tools get out there and optimize!

Search engine optimization takes time and money – which most people don’t have in excess. SEO on the GO details helpful resources and information so anyone can use free SEO tools from work, home or anywhere, anytime.

SEO partner.com is proud to introduce our new partner site, Richmond based - SEO partner.net.

Overflowing with hundreds of cutting edge search engine optimization articles, you can find just about any bit SEO information you could ever want… More to come!

SEO partner wishes you a Happy New Year!

In an effort to be the best seo partner for you possible, we have provided a number of great seo tools. One of the latest is our “Word Density Analysis Tool”. Here’s the description “This tool will scan your page, and determine the frequency and weight of every word on the page. Stop words, words shorter than 3 letters, and words that are used only once will be ignored.” And here’s what that means to you…

More often that not, there are valuable keywords on a page that you did not even realize would be relevant in a search. It is a very good idea to find these keywords and help search engine recognize them. You would be surprised at how a couple small tweaks can make such a huge difference in search engine optimization.

Give it a try. Just following this link to the Word Density Analysis Tool and enter any URL want. Then click ‘Submit” and find a hidden wealth in untapped keyword potential!

Web sites Helping Newly Licensed Agents Outsell Veteran Brokers

RISMEDIA, Dec. 7 — The years 2003-2005 were banner years for real estate sales. Record-low interest rates combined with moderate to strong job markets created a supply/demand balance resulting in the fair market value of homes nearly doubling in many regions across the United States.

Add to this the exceptional number of active Realtors and you have got a story reminiscent of the mid 1980s. But two decades later, there is a new twist in the form of Web sites that help newly licensed agents outsell 10-year veteran brokers.

Based on information gleaned from top industry associations it appears one thing will remain consistent regardless of market conditions: Those Realtors with the greatest Internet visibility will be in the best position to prosper. For example:

* Homebuyers used the Internet more than other media to search for homes; Internet usage for searching was 71%, which is more then used newspapers (41%), home book or magazines (24%), Television (17%). (NAR Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers 2003)

* Homebuyers who search for homes online are more likely than other buyers to use a real estate professional to buy their home. (NAR Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers 2003)

* Homebuyers, who found an agent online, were more satisfied with their agents than traditional buyers in all aspects of the home buying process. (CAR Internet Versus Traditional Buyers Study 2003)

With over half of all Web traffic coming from search engines the problem becomes the solution – at least for those with the money to hire search engine optimization (SEO) consultants. Unfortunately this can be an expensive undertaking and finding SEO experts who specialize in real estate Web optimization is a rarity. It was for this reason ‘SEO Answer Book; Special Edition – Website Optimization for Real Estate Professionals’ was created.

Researched and written as a joint effort between real estate professionals and SEO experts with minimum five years specializing in real estate web optimization, SEO Answer Book; Special Edition tackles scores of challenging issues facing real estate Website owners everyday, such as…

* How to get the fastest results without compromise

* Why most people fail at SEO and how to avoid these pitfalls

* How to quickly find the best SEO strategy for any Website

With hardcover and soft cover editions available in bookstores beginning February 2006, advance copies of this 162-page soft cover edition ($19.99) are available now on Amazon.com and at the publisher’s expedited order site; www.SEOAnswerBook.com.

To facilitate the need for fast delivery, SEO Answer Book offers five shipping methods and is available for immediate download as a limited edition electronic book ($12.21). Both editions are available at www.SEOAnswerBook.com.

SEO partner is thrilled to pass on some great news. We recently published two new SEO books, both of which are getting great feedback. Our latest – SEO Answer Book; Special Edition – Website Optimization for Real Estate Professionals – has been featured in a number of news stories and will soon be the focus of a feature article in one of the real estate industry’s leading magazines (soon to be officially announced – no spoilers here

In the meantime, here’s our latest review from a reader:

“A pleasant surprise and a huge value”

“Finally, someone recognizes the need for a book like this. I bought it the day it came out and read it within two hours of download. Outstanding advice! It answered questions I didn’t even realize I should be asking. Last year I paid some fancy “optimization consultant” 100 times as much money for half the information - literally! The real estate edition of SEO Answer Book is the best money I’ve spent in years. Anyone that can make me understand the internet deserves a medal.”
