Government Contracting, Consulting, Federal Contracting
So, a recent website I created is for Government Contracting, procurement, and federal contracting. ASI- Advancement Strategies Inc, is not getting very good SEO. I think the reason is because we are branding them “ASI,” which is a very popular acronym for company names. Additionally, Advancement Strategies is also a fairly popular company name. One of the keys of SEO is to have a unique product or name, or focus on the part of your company that is unique so that you can create a sort of “brand” for it, market that, and let it stand out.
Google and Preferred domain (www or non-www)
clipped from www.google.com Preferred domain (www or non-www) The preferred domain is the one that you would liked used to index your site’s pages (sometimes this is referred to as the canonical domain). Links may point to your site using both the www and non-www versions of the URL (for instance, http://www.example.com and http://example.com). The preferred domain is the version that you want used for your site in the search results. To specify your preferred domain: On the Webmaster Tools Home page, click the site you want. Under Site configuration, click Settings. In the Preferred domain section, select the option you want. Note: Once you’ve set your preferred domain, you may want to use a 301 redirect to redirect traffic from your non-preferred domain, so that other search engines and visitors know which version you prefer.
Link Farming – thoughts
So it’s sort of cool that twitter is not adding rel=”nofollow” to the links that you put in your tweets. And since everyone has a public page on twitter, those links get followed by google (and others). The bad part is that you can’t specify the text for the link (at least, not that I know of), but the good part is that you can add links to things you want to go up in search rankings ;) However – with only 140 characters, many people are using url abbreviation services (tinyURL), which redirect to pages. And SEO conultants, at least, say that the tinyURL service is returning a 301 (permanently moved) header. I guess google will follow that, too, but it’s not quite as direct. I’m not sure what the other services return. This would be cool to check up on.
Link Farms
I wonder if I should do some link farming for my clients. It would help all of them with SEO, and it would not be seen by anyone except the search engines if I use some a css “display:none” technique (as the search engines can’t see javascript or CSS). It would really help to improve rankings. It would be awesome to have their sites make a php call to a central server to get updated lists of links to promote on their sites (invisible, of course), and maybe use some caching to keep the load off the development server.
