• Site directories – Insert your site not to business category but on regional section of the site directories. Beside region try to hit the city if available.
• Local backlinks – Visit local city sites and forums. Try to get backlink from them. Somewhere you can simply comment certain page or answer something on forum, but somewhere contact the administrator for backlink. You can give him romantic dinner for two in exchange for backlink.
• Buy banners on local sites which are pointed to your sites. Don’t worries if they are nofollow, Google insist that paid backlinks have nofollow attribute.
• This one is most important. Get listed on Google Local Business on this link http://www.google.com/local/add/analyticsSplashPage. This will ultimately list you at local search on Google and it will even show a map where your restaurant is located in the city. Do note that for this step you need to have address on given place since confirmation is done by real mail.
• Restaurant review sites – Use this list to submit your restaurant on review. Those guys will come test your restaurant, they will give you a grade and in their review backlink to your site. Try to impress them, since good review will mean more real visitors directed by those sites.
• Social Bookmarking – When you start social bookmarking campaign then always mention your city name in descriptions and tags.

Beside this steps, other steps are same as for any other seo job, make buzz, submit your restaurant related articles to article directories, comment on local people blogs with your restaurant name and link, be active on restaurant and food oriented forums…

There are two ways how can you do successful SMM campaign.

First one is to hire professional company to do it for you. If take for example Seop.Com we will see that they offer very catching Social Media campaigns. Advantage of using company is that they are already trained to get you relevant visitors from Social networks, which is the hardest part in this story (relevant visitors are must since only relevant niche visitors will convert into sales or clicks).

Other way is to do it yourself. There are few basic tips if you are personally building your social network:

• don’t call every single person you know (we need relevant visitors)
• help and contribute (don’t use social network to shamefully promote yourself, for example if you are on Digg then don’t bookmark only your pages, point is in sharing so don’t be afraid to link to other sites and blogs)
• connect with people from your niche by looking over the net for appropriate blogs or looking who responds and like your links
• be active (don’t just post links, comment other people efforts also)
• use videos (videos share is dramatically improving over the time, make how to videos, niche specific videos)
• use provocative content (this is relative but point is to get reaction)
• don’t use only one social network bring your business all over the net

Some of the most known social media networks are:

• digg
• facebook
• twitter
• myspace
• youtube
• flickr
• panoramio
• my.opera
• reddit
• del.icio.us
• technorati
• stumbleupon
• linkedin

Find niche communities and start being active there. For example if your niche is a garden oriented then googling will get you to the site as gardenweb.com, or if you are webmaster you will end up on NetBuilders or Warrior forums.

Social media marketing will not only get you traffic and valid visitors but will in many cases improve your serp and seo rankings.

Main things to watch about your directory are:

- Every site accepted

- Google page rank

- Traffic

- Directory indexed

- Are links “dofollow”

If every site is accepted that means directory is probably considered by search engines as a spam link farm. If directory has PR 0 and it is old, then it can be penalized for selling links. If you put your link on such directory, then it is possible Google will penalize you too. Is there traffic on the directory (check alexa, compete and similar sites) if no, then probably your link in directory will not gave you any traffic at all. Is directory indexed? If no then it is maybe penalized. Are links in directory dofollow? If not then you don’t have any use in term of SEO from them.

Now if your directory list is compiled based on this five points, your list has value, and backlinks from those directories will have real SEO value.

Now another problem emerge, since most of small business companies are not expert in PPC campaigns, lot of their money get wasted on bad visitors, or they pay visitor way to much. Also bad phrases choice will never be shown in top sponsored results and you will lose best possible conversions.

In this moment companies like Nett Solutions came in. With wise targeting and experience with PPC campaigns (Adwords, Yahoo Publisher Network) these companies manage to take top sponsored positions very easily. This is very important since competition on mentioned network is enormous. Millions of webmasters are aiming top phrases in goal of conversion.

Only thing these company usually needs are your keywords, your site and your budget, all other is managed by them, yet still you have complete report on their efficiency.

Usually their provision is small price to pay when looking to the results and long term savings.

Yahoo Store Marketing consists of few simple steps which you or your seo company would need to do and achieve

-          Yahoo Store onpage search engine optimization

In step one, you will need to optimize your Yahoo Store keywords, images, text links, name of products, description of products, so they become more relevant to the products which will automatically make them more relevant to Google and other search engines. This will need to involve some keyword research.

Second step is offpage optimization, where you will need to make external page (probably best solution is a blog) where you will wrote daily about your Yahoo Store updates. But you need to remember that this blog will need also onpage and offpage optimization. Beside this, standard link building campaigns will need to be included (article promotions, press releases, directory submissions and similar). If you are still not satisfied with the achievements and number of sales, then smart PPC campaign would be also wise choice.

With the help of an article submission script, you can easily submit hundreds of articles to hundreds of directories in a few hours instead of days. And the end result is identical to manual submission, if you have picked a good script! Trying it first before you make the purchase make sure it is the type of script you need and has all features you looking for. Not every submission script is built the same way. Some would allow you to customize it, change the directories, save your bio info in the database and some will even fill in security code for you.

One down side of using such tool is that the directories are normally limited and there are foot prints of these. They will work ok for the time being, but as the technology get better, the search engine might be able to detect these foot prints and devalue these links from the directories. But nobody knows when that day will be, so you should be fine as long as you don’t spend days doing article submission and have other methods along with this one, then you will be ok. With all that said, article submission and marking has been around for a long time and it’s proven to work for many website owners, including the top marketers who are making over millions per year.

A website design service offering SEO will probably be a long-term relationship. And you should be skeptical of any website design services that tells you that it can get your site ranked in a matter of days. SEO is a lengthy and time consuming process because of the amount of work involved. For example, inbound link building requires time for article and link submissions to reputable sites utilized for these purposes. It takes time for these links to get picked up and aged. Also, having the articles written takes time, especially if you want them to get you traffic and link power. Some of the SEO tasks, you might be able to take on yourself. For example, if you are selling products, you can write descriptions that are search engine friendly. The SEO/design companies can give you advice on which keywords would be the best to use. You can also write articles yourself if you are an expert in your field along with the advice of the service you hire. You can then submit these articles to article directories to gain back links and traffic.

Design from scratch will always cost more. Not every small business desiring a web presence has the budget to pay for a custom design project. Also, for some web developers or designers, creating custom websites exclusively may result in decreased profit margins. Decreased profit margins affect the ability of a design firm to continue operations and perform future support for existing clients. Therefore, by offering a combination of template and custom designs, they can provide pricing to fit all types of clients and ensure the sustainability of the design firm’s business.

They know that good templates have already been through tests. Testing can be a very time consuming, therefore expensive for a freelance web developer working from home and frequently the time expended ends up costing the client more than what they can afford to pay. So usually, templates have already been implemented with other clients and the bugs have been worked out. When a web developer use template for clients, they add value by creating a site that has already been proven to be reliable and able to give the client a cheaper price.

Many freelance web developers offer their own rich inventory of templates to choose from. Quite often, a client seeks to hire a web developer and doesn’t know what he or she wants. So this is a great and fast way for the client to see the possible results before parting with any money. When a developer has an extensive catalog to choose from, it can direct a client into identifying the look they desire. This makes the process much simpler for both the client and the web developer.

This post as posts on my other blogs are just another series of support for my entry, and they don’t add real value, but what to say. Because of this contest I realized how many useless pages I have, and many of them will because of that get merged (to form even more useless page). Some of them will get closed, but some new will get started.

Experience like this cause that you learn so much, regardless of your interest for learning.

One more interesting, rather fascinating news. Google shows incredible number of indexed pages where Sulumits Retsambew is mentioned: 17 800 000 indexed pages.
