This time, no article submission required! (really)
To get maximum exposure and value from your EzineArticles membership…
Help your readership FIND you, your business or organizations website, your blog, your social media links (FaceBook, Twitter, LinkedIN, MySpace, FriendFeed), your personal website or portfolio and even your Amazon books.
If you’re one of the many authors who’ve never taken the
time to “fill in the blanks” on your author bio page,
now is the time to rectify that little oversight.
Finding the form is easy.
Just follow these steps:
Log into your EzineArticles Expert Author Account
From the Author’s Area, click on the “Profile Manager” drop-down menu,
Select “Edit Author Bio”
Fill in as many of the empty fields as possible.
The more information you can provide, the more chances your readers have of finding you, your website and your products or services. Each of these blanks provides a
link that your reader can follow back to you.
Here what you get for FREE as part of your EzineArticles Extended Author Bio:
Links to 3 different business websites
A link to your personal website
A link to your blog
A link to your FaceBook profile
A link to your MySpace account
A link to you on Twitter
The ability to auto tweet your newly approved articles
A link to FriendFeed
Links to 3 of your products on Amazon.com
The chance to tell your readers more about you
A place to provide keywords about you and your niche
Very few authors are so firmly entrenched in the Internet
that they can fill in all of the blanks. On the other hand, almost all of our expert authors are able to fill in a few.
Whatever you don’t fill in, won’t show…so don’t worry.
Fill as many as you can now, and then mark on your calendar
to return in a few months. By that time, you may be able to
fill in a few more blanks… and who knows, maybe we’ll have given you some more blanks to fill in! =)
And be sure to INCLUDE your author photo!
One thing we haven’t mentioned yet is the importance of uploading an Expert Author photo (like the one to the right)
as well. As a matter of fact, you must have both your author photo and bio uploaded in your profile in order to have a
public Extended Expert Author Bio URL.
Follow these steps to upload your author photo:
Log into your EzineArticles Expert Author Account
From the Author’s Area, click on the “Profile Manager”
drop-down menu
Select “Edit Author Photo”
Click on the “Browse…” button and select your picture file
Click the “Upload Photo” button
Remember:
Photo must be actual photo of YOU or have YOU in the photo
We will accept renderings, drawings or non-photo images if
they are of YOU
We will not accept company and/or personal logos, symbols, crests, avatar images, violent, explicit or offensive
material, or copyrighted images
Photo must be .jpg or .jpeg file
File size must be Less than 100k
Your uploaded photo will automatically be scaled to approximately 160-by-200 image size (size will vary depending
on aspect ratio)
To update a photo simply select a new photo and select
upload photo. This will replace your previous photo if one exists.
Bottom Line: Having an author photo uploaded into your EzineArticles profile not only adds credibility to you as an author, it’s also a requirement if you’d like to have your extended author bio show up on EzineArticles.com… So find
a nice photo of you, or take a new one, and get it uploaded today.

There are several effective methods to improve
the flow of traffic to your website, particularly
launching a search engine optimization campaign.
This campaign is targeted at increasing your
position in search engine results so that consumers
can find your pages faster and easier.
You can either research the steps you need to take
to improve your search engine rankings, or employ a
search engine optimization company to do the work
for you. In either case, after your have improved
your search engine positions, make sure you keep on
top of them by regular monitoring and adjusting of
your efforts to maintain high positions.
Another factor to examine is how easy it is for a
visitor to your website to actually take the action
your site is set-up for. For example, if your goal
is for the visitor to fill out a form, is it caveman
simple to get to, or does the visitor have to go
through a bunch of steps to get to it?
If it’s a hassle, even a dinky one…the prospect
may just think, heck with this and cruise to another
site. Make sure your buttons are extremely easy to
see, and the path to your form or ordering page
quickly accessible.

We’ve all done it at some point in our professional lives. We search a keyword that describes our business only to scratch our head as to how our competitor’s website shows up on the top of the list instead of ours.
If you’ve gone one step further and read about Search Engine Optimization, then surely you have come across the conflicting information online.
One article tells you to do one thing while another tells you to do the opposite. Which one should you believe?
This gray area of what you should or should not do is much like the modern day “Bat Cave.” If you are lucky enough to stumble upon it, chances are you don’t quite know how you got there and if you had to go back one day you would probably just find yourself lost in the woods.
So what should you believe? The general rule is to combine what you read or heard with what you have experienced and somewhere in there lies the truth. To get you started, let’s debunk some of the more commonly used myths floating around.
1) Use a Keyword Rich Domain Name:
It is widely believed that if you include your keywords in your domain name like www.professional-website-design-in-nj.com it will greatly increase your rankings. This is not true. It is best to choose a domain name that is short, easy to remember and
if possible includes your company name.
2) Google Partnership:
If you are ever approached by a company claiming to have a
partnership with Google, run in the opposite direction. There is no such thing as a “preferred” relationship with Google and in fact on Google’s website it even states: Beware of SEOs that claim to guarantee rankings, allege a “special relationship” with Google, or advertise “priority submit” to Google.
3) Meta Keyword Tag:
It used to be that the Meta Keyword Tag was given a lot of
weight in the early days of Search Engine Optimization, but people abused it and now it does very little. You may still want to include your keywords here, but know that it will not do much and in fact most search engines won’t even check it.
4) Bold or Italicized Text:
Adding emphasis to certain keywords like using bold or italics can make your text easier to scan for the reader if done properly, but has little to no effect on your search engine ranking.
5) Content Length:
There is no search engine rule stating that your content needs to be a specific number of words in order to get indexed. Any recommended length is more to assist the reader in understanding what you do than to aid the search engines.
6) Duplicate Content:
Posting specific content like an article or blog entry on your site and then on another site will not get you penalized. In the search results, Google will recognize that the content is the same and only choose one of the pages to display, but it will not hurt your overall search engine ranking.
7) Avoid Flash:
Any text that you place in Flash will not be readable by a
search engine, but this doesn’t mean you have to avoid flash altogether. You can still very successfully incorporate Flash into your site through rotating pictures or a header on the page. Just don’t have an all Flash site or use a Flash intro if you are interested in increasing your search engine rankings.
Pay-Per-Click:
Some say that using Pay-Per-Click will help your organic listing while others say it will hurt. Both are false. The fact is that Google has gone to great lengths to separate the two departments of organic and paid listings to a point where the two departments don’t communicate or even sit at the same table for lunch.
9) Update the Site Frequently:
Updating your site often is a good idea if you have something new to say. Just don’t change around a few words to accommodate the search engines as that won’t help your listing at all. Regularly adding legitimate content like articles, press releases and blog entries will help though.
10) Doorway Pages:
Many companies will sell this idea of increasing your ranking by creating hundreds of one page sites loaded with keywords that link to you from various domains. This is considered spamming the search engine and is not recommended. If you properly optimize your site and focus on the correct way to get listed, you will increase your ranking much quicker than these doorway pages ever could.
Of course there are many other myths out there confusing the general public about what works and what doesn’t work. Some of them are spread by people who don’t really know the truth and others are spread by SEO companies in an attempt to make search engine optimization confusing… mission accomplished!
Regardless of where the myths come from, if you or the SEO
Company you hire use common sense and do things the right way, you will have no trouble finding the proverbial Bat Cave and when you get there please tell them that I want my utility belt
back!
