		<description><![CDATA[ It’s so easy to go overboard implementing the social media part of your link building strategy. Yes, actively participating is essential for growing web traffic, but too much of the wrong kind of participation can result in you being blocked by users and banned by search engines.  All for one simple reason.

		<description><![CDATA[While it is important to get the word out about your site or service far and wide, there is a fine line between submitting something interesting and spamming social sites like Sphinn, Digg, and others. Some are surprised to find out that some of their self promotional efforts may be construed as "spam". In this post I want to point to an example that I saw over at Sphinn.]]></description>

Whether you have a Google WebMaster Tools account or not, you may now find a note from the WebMaster team waiting for you, after you've created an account and verify your site.

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, I had a post talking about link exchange spam that we periodically receive. As a follow up, just a few things to note regarding advertising your SEO services online. I got an email from a "Nick Slevin" advertising that he could "help to improve my rankings". It appears that I wasn't the only one. As an online marketer, I get all sorts of questions regarding how sites should market online. Email marketing is often a touchy subject.]]></description>

Like quite a few of you, we receive spam and link exchange requests all of the time. We also receive requests from existing WebPosition customers asking that we include some type of automated link exchange module.

As I mentioned a while back, Google states that they are getting more aggressive in how they treat links. High rankings based entirely on links (i.e. the term does not appear on the page) are often called &#8220;Googlebombs&#8221;. For several years Apple.com has enjoyed a first page ranking for the terms MP3 Player, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When every day business owners search for a means to improve sales, they often start by examining their sales force. Sales people are trained on the latest sales techniques, or provided incentives to push the higher margin products to customers. While many owners often overlook their web site as their best sales person, SEOs understand that looking at keywords, weighting, and placement in addition to links and excellent navigation are important just as important to their virtual sales person; their website.]]></description>
