Affordable Copywriting Services-when English is the Second Language But First Choice
November 18, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Cost-effective copywriting services
Writing the content for a company’s website is not a child’s play. It requires a lot of research and talent to deliver impressive and persuasive content that converts the website visitor into a customer soon after they read your content. Hence, the salaries demanded by copywriting professionals are too high that are often unaffordable for most website owners. Also, along with a handsome salary package are the benefits of life insurance and others that are expected from the companies. So, outsourcing copywriting services is the best way to go for a creative, positive and persuasive writing copy.
Outsource copywriting services – An affordable option
Copywriting is basically meant to lure the potential customers towards your services so you need to hire highly skilled professional copywriters. An, outsourcing is one of the viable means of hiring affordable copywriting services from third world countries where labor charges are yet too less in comparison to UK an US. You can anytime operate through any of the auction-based sites and offer your project to fulfill the requirement of copywriting services for your company. The bids are placed by outsourcing copywriting firms and freelance copywriters at highly competitive rates and you may select the copywriting firm that suits the budget and the requirements of your website in the best possible way.
English – not the primary language with copywriters of Asian countries
However, considering the difference in the currency rates, many companies from abroad outsource their services to Asian countries such as India and Pakistan for affordable copywriting services. Nonetheless, one problem that they often face in this outsourcing business to Asian countries is that as English is not the primary language of these professionals, at times grammatical errors, unclear messages, poor phrasing, spelling errors are the common problems that are often found in the work delivered by some of the incompetent professionals of Asian countries. Word-to-word conversion from their native language into English is also done by some copywriters of these countries and thereby leading to blunders.
Finding the best copywriters in Asian countries
Such work is highly unacceptable. But, undoubtedly even the best copywriters at minimal rates can also be found in these countries only. English is the widely accepted business language and impeccable writing copies are expected from copywriters, irrespective of the fact if English is their primary language or not. Finding the keywords for creating an impact on the readers, simple and easy to comprehend language, focusing on the target audience and deciding the aim for writing the content (whether brand awareness, product image or sales) are all necessary points that a good copywriter must know before he/she starts writing.
So, it all depends upon you, if you have the discretion to select the best copywriters or not. To make sure that you do not fell into the trap of some incompetent copywriting service providers, it would be a good idea to select the copywriters by reviewing their work thoroughly for pros and cons before you hire them for your company website’s project.
Therefore, while selecting an affordable copywriting firm or professional, emphasis on quality of work that is delivered by the service provider is equally important as the consideration of the budget. So, what are you waiting for? Start searching for a good copywriting service provider on the Internet who can create a powerful writing copy for your website.
Howto: Free Tips on Search Engine Optimization (seo) – Getting Visitors!
November 10, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Being new to the world of Blogging, I have been stressing on how to get visitors. What good is it to have a site I put time and effort into if nobody knows it exists? Of course there are many ways, to include word-of-mouth, commenting on other blogs, newsletters, etc, but the way this article will focus on is called Search Engine Optimization (or SEO). SEO is a major deal, and many companies pay their web designers high dollar-amounts to get their site noticed!
So what is Search Engine Optimization? SEO is a method, or an art really, of discovering the inner-workings of search engines (such as Google or Yahoo!) so that we can understand what exactly to do to our site to get it top-ranked on the search engines.
For example, let’s say we go to Google and search for “SEO.” Google returns, as of today, 248 MILLION results of SEO. The number one on the list for me is Wikipedia.org, followed shortly by many companies who offer services in Search Engine Optimization. These sites have spent countless dollars having programmers optimize their site to reach those rankings. But why throw your money away when you can find plenty of sites online, like mine, that offer tips on how to do it yourself? So where do we start?
Before we begin, I should point out that visitors will not arrive at your site overnight. I have been up-and-running for about 2 weeks now and I see around 4-5 visitors a day. Just in the last few days I’ve begun trying to actually get word of my site out there, but I expect at least a month or more before I start seeing real results. Also I should point out to not give up. The number one reason why the sites that fail go downhill is because the authors start giving up, which leads to less updates, and eventually a complete vanishing act.
Web Design: You want to thoroughly check your site for spelling errors, problems in the code, or any other minor errors. You want your meta tags to be clean, with proper keywords to your site. Don’t flood your keywords with irrelevant words to try to create traffic. Search engines used to fall for that, but they are much more intelligent now-a-days.
Study Habits: Take the time to study and learn all you can! If this is the only article you have ever, or will ever, read, maybe you should pack your bags. SEO is a big deal, and if you want to be successful you need to constantly try to get better, even if you think you have it down!
Include a sitemap. Sitemaps are basically a page (this can be a .html file or XML file, or whatever method you have found that works) that has a link to every page on your site. This allows search engine spiders (the term used for their software that “crawls” the web and indexes sites) to easily see every link on your site, and get it all right the first time. http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ provides an easy, free, way to create sitemaps to your site.
Write Understandable Titles and Descriptions on every page – This is VERY important. Why would a user click on a site that says “SEO Tips” and expect something different? Make sure all of your page titles are related to the content contained. Visitors will not want to come back if they find themselves in a pool of marketing schemes or whatever your flavor may be.
Participate – This is yet another very important factor. If you want to create a blog and have visitors come to your site, shouldn’t you visit other sites as well? This is key to success. Visit sites, see what others are talking about: it might inspire you. And don’t forget to leave comments. Don’t leave comments like “Come to my site,” but try to leave actual constructive comments. This will develop your character and web surfers will be more likely to visit your site.
Diversify your Content – Having a site specialized in a single topic can be fun to maintain, especially if it’s something you enjoy to do, but what happens when people just aren’t interested in reading the same old stuff over and over? Try to mix it up a bit, talk about different things. It doesn’t have to be different every time, but keep in mind that readers like reading new content.
Media – I can’t really confirm if this helps or not, but I have read that YouTube videos on your site increase your site ranking. That being said, whether it increases your ranking or not, videos on your site help your visitors visualize what you are trying to say, which makes them want to come back more!
Get Help – http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ is a great place to start if you have a new site. Google has spent the time to develop these tools to assist you in optimization of your site. It will tell you detailed statistics about your site, including broken or missing links, code errors, links to your site, and much, much more. Take advantage of these tools, they are there for you!
That is just a few of the massive amounts of tips that can be found all over the internet. Google SEO Optimization tips is a great search to begin with, if you want to learn more.
Good luck and I hope we all see some traffic soon!

Get Tons of Free Organic Google Traffic!
November 9, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
There are no secrets to getting plenty of free search engine traffic. Provide what people are searching for in the form of high quality content, and lots of it. The old saying that content is king is still true. You do need high quality content, and content that people are searching for. Fortunately there are ways to find out what it is people are searching for, and we can briefly examine them.
After you’ve chosen a topic, hopefully a topic that a lot of people are interested in, you will need to find out exactly what key words and key word phrases people use when searching for information about your topic. This can be done with one of several keyword tools that are available online. By using the keyword tools you can find out what groups of words are really used by searchers, and which ones are wastes of time. If no one searches for a phrase, then ranking number one on Google for that phrase won’t do you a bit of good. The keyword research tools provide you with all kinds of ways of finding out what key words to optimize for and they even tell you how hard it will be to achieve a high ranking in the search engines with a particular word or phrase.
Before we get any further I would like to point out that the goal of the search engines is to find the most relevant results of the search for the HUMAN doing the search. The search engines are pretty smart, and getting smarter all the time. They are looking for high quality content, but even the best search engine software cannot determine easily whether content is of high quality nor not. However there are clues and things the search engines can base decisions about the quality of the content on, both on the page and off.
For instance, the engines can determine that the text has a large number of spelling errors, something you would not expect to find with great content. Even grammar and punctuation can be taken into consideration.
Search engines cannot read images. To get the attention of the engines you need text, and lots of it. I like to use 500 to 800 words per web page. The more pages the better. Each page should be optimized for two or three keyword phrases. It’s very important to write for humans, not for search engines…they can tell the difference. Make sure you run your work through a spell checker, and better yet, a word processor that will check your grammar as well. And don’t forget to check the punctuation. If, in the eyes of the search engines, two sites have nearly identical quality scores and one has poor grammar or punctuation and the other doesn’t, then guess who gets the higher ranking.
Keep it simple! I’m sure there are a lot of great sites with great content and high rankings that are not simple. But unless you are into that stuff there is no need. Chances are a human searching for information about a topic would prefer a simple site that is easy to navigate, easy to read, and easy to locate the desired information on, than a fancy sight with lots of graphics and or flash etc.
Use a logical linking scheme for your site’s internal links. The engines will be examining your links for clues about which pages are the most important and what your topic is. They must also be able to follow the links if you want your pages listed in the search engine results. Put some of your keywords in the link text, and in the text surrounding the link. But don’t get crazy, just a light sprinkling of key word phrases will do the trick.
Avoid using single-word keywords. Not only is it easier to get good rankings for multiple word keyword phrases, the traffic you get will be more tightly targeted and you should therefore get more sales or signups or whatever the goal of your site is.
Make use of the bold and heading tags to present a hierarchy of the importance of your content to the engines.
Avoid cluttering up your pages with advertisements and links. Page clutter is something the engines can determine. They can look at the ratio of ad links to text, total number of links, graphics placements, what is above the fold on a page, and lots more. This is another reason to keep your pages and navigation clean and simple. Oh yeah, humans like clean and simple too.
Include a few images and work some keywords into the image alt tags. Some of my sites get a surprising amount of traffic from Google’s image search. So put text in the alt image tag that is related to the picture, perhaps get it into the file name for the image, and in some nearby text, which can help Google figure out what the image is about.
Once you have your high quality content in place with your simple and straight forward site navigation worked out, it’s time to look at what you can do to obtain some good links to your site from other quality sites. After all, there could be thousands of pages of pretty much identical information about any given topic online, and how is a search engine to figure out which is the best? One way is to evaluate the quantity and quality of incoming links to your site from other sites.
High quality content will attract some links, but if you actively seek out links from other quality sites you can speed things up. Avoid linking with large numbers of sites in a short amount of time, like what happens when you join a link farm. Google prefers to see a slow steady increase in links as though it were a natural human endeavor. If a huge number of links pops up overnight Google doesn’t count them as very important. The same is true if huge numbers of links have identical link text. Google will take note and reduce their value.
The more pages you have, the better your chances of being included in the search results from those billions of daily searches, and thus the more traffic you will receive. It’s all just a numbers game.
Once you have all of that stuff in place, then you have to wait. Typically with a new site, you may get a little initial activity through Google for a few weeks, then you will drop off the map for up to a year with Google. That is what is known as being in Google’s sand box. After a year or so your site will start being listed in the search results and things will start looking up.
Get online and investigate those keyword tools so you can choose a great niche topic for your next website.
SEO Tips- How to Write a Press Release for Optimal Web Marketing
November 4, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
What is a Press Release?
Press releases are among the most effective ways – if not the most effective way – to get one-way links from high traffic news sites, but you must follow a certain set of guidelines or it will be nothing more than wasted time and your press release will never be published. A press release is a statement of announcement used for publishing and distributing company information or business news throughout the Internet via web media distribution channels. General news releases, event announcements, business news, new product release announcements, and social media news all qualify as valid content for a press release.
How Press Releases can help your SEO and Web Marketing
Press releases play a very important role in SEO and web site marketing. Currently, one-way links are more valuable to your search e rankings than ever before. This is due to the fact that two-way links – most often referred to as “reciprocal links” – have decreased in value with regard to Google’s “Page rank” system, with most others soon to follow if they have not already. With that in mind, playing an active role in generating news for PR web can serve as your best resource for getting one-way links and generating new traffic to your site without paying a dime. Be aware however, that credible PR web sites have strict criteria for the content that they publish. For example, it absolutely must be newsworthy, grammatically correct, without spelling errors, it must sound professional, and it must give the impression that a decent amount of time was put into it.
The benefit to you is that you may publish your company details including the services you offer, your web address and contact details along with your press release. Be careful not to make your press release sound like an advertisement though, or it will not be considered for publishing. The key here is to go into it with the objective of creating something valuable and informative for the reader.
There are a lot of news websites available that provide free services for publishing your news releases. The real advantage though, is that these websites provide services for distributing that news to subscribers of their news feeds. What this means, is that while you may publish your release to five PR web sites, it will likely end up on twenty or thirty different sites if it follows the criteria stated above. The important thing to remember is that the more valuable and informative that you make your content, the more it will be picked up by additional web sites. Here are some tips to keep in mind when writing your press release:
Tips for writing an effective press release:
1) The press release headline should be short, clear and to the point. Treat press release headlines and sub-heads as the ultra-compact version of your entire press release content.
2) Your press release summary should be informative. Try to avoid the use long sentences and lengthy paragraphs.
3) Start your press release with the “5 Ws” – who, what, when, where, why, and sometimes how. This will make your press release more enlightening and attractive to the editors of the sites you are publishing to.
4) Don’t forget to include your company information below the press release content. Prepare a brief summary of your company services with the contact details, your website name, and email id for communicating. Most PR sites offer a “company bio” section, which appears under the published release.
