Outsourcing SEO Can Cost You Your Website
If you are new to the world of SEO and SEM you may not know all of the actual subtleties involved but in all reality, if you are just going to hire someone to do your SEO work for you, you better know a whole lot more or you could suffer far worse than you ever would trying to do your own SEO work … even without any real experience. Even if you hire an SEO Professional to promote your site, if they do anything that the search engines decide is unethical, your site will be banned and you will have no recourse, legal or otherwise to get it back in!
If you have already looked around the freelance sites, you may see all sorts of jobs people want done regarding SEO work. Somebody here needs ten PR5 or better one-way links to their site. Somebody over here wants 100 comments on DO Follow blogs. If none of that makes sense to you, you really do need to learn what it means whether you are going to promote your own websites or have someone else do it for you. Why?
If you do not learn about SEO your work could very easily get you banned from the Search Engines or decrease your rankings whether you do the work or not!
What? How? Huh?
The top search engines are constantly evolving their algorithms or the methods that they use to decide both your pages rank and its placement on the SERP or Search Engine Results Page. A while back, three-way linking or Pyramid linking was all the rage but they quickly became more costly than effective. The basic idea was to provide mutually beneficial, one-way links by linking three sites rather than just two. Thus, instead of reciprocal links (which are still valued less) between Site A and Site B, there would be a link from Site A to Site B, a link from Site B to Site C and a final link from Site C to Site A.
This effectively provided all three websites with one-way links and increased the value of those links. It may have taken the search engine a while to figure out this tactic but figure it out they did and many of those sites were penalized in rank and placement while some were banned altogether. Many of the people doing this were Professional SEO Experts who were hired by people just like you. While some of the people simply lost page rank, some of them really did lose any ability to get their site indexed on the search engines at all.
Over 80% of all organic (free) traffic comes from the search engines!
Once your website has been banned, sandboxed or otherwise removed from the search engine indexes you may just as well shut that site down and build it from scratch. Google does not care what SEO Service you paid to promote your site. Bing does not care what SEO Company you paid to promote your site. Yahoo does not even care what SEO expert you hired; once your site is off the search engines, it is off until the search engines decide to let you back in. This can take years to accomplish and most likely will require more money invested than you will ever be able to get back from your investment.
These days, as in the example given above, many people are searching for SEO Experts that will give them all these one-way links. They will only want DO Follow links back to their site and even many of the SEO “Experts” think that this is a good thing! But guess what! Google is neither stupid nor idle and when it updates the algorithms, unnatural website growth patterns are going to be red-flagged first and then the search engines will begin the banning process again.
With over ten billion websites indexed each of the major search engines, they really do not need your website to provide their users with viable alternatives.
So what is the answer?
The answer is actually very simple. If you are serious about your online business and want to succeed and stay in business for the long run, do not try to jump to the head of the pack right away. Organic growth is, as the name implies, natural growth. When you are advertising and promoting your site, do not seek to aim for only the high value targets but take on all of the possible targets.
When someone sees your link tagged on one of your comments on a No Follow site are they any less likely to click it than they would be on a Do Follow site? You can still get traffic, and while you may get more value on the search engines from a Do Follow site, you can still get traffic from a No Follow site and your growth will appear more natural to the Search Engines insuring that you do not have to worry about being banned or sandboxed.
If you only have one or two websites that you will never be making a lot of money from, learn about the SEO and do it yourself. Would you let someone you do not know come into a brick and mortar business you have built and let them market it and promote it however they see fit simply because you do not know how … even though your lack of knowledge regarding the subject means that you cannot even be sure that they do either? You cannot run a business like that in the brick and mortar world and expect to be successful. Running a business on the Internet is no different.
If you own numerous websites or have valuable and profitable products that will allow for the costs, pay someone to do your SEO for you but be selective. If someone is promising you that they are only going to get you One-Way links on Do Follow Sites do you really think that this “unnatural” growth will go unobserved to the Search Engines? Do you really think that something so Unnatural is going to outrank a site with the same number of links but showing all organic growth or natural growth? Guess what! If you do not know anything about SEO, you need to learn … especially if you are going to hire someone to do it for you! The cost of unnatural growth can literally kill your website.
Proper SEO goes far beyond just getting all the “good stuff” and throwing it together and thinking you will come out ahead of the game. Proper SEO efforts involve many different aspects, some of them more beneficial than the others but only beneficial if you have all of them together, the better with the not so good. Anything less is putting your online business venture on a path to failure. If you are business for the long run, take the good with the better and sooner than you think, your site will be one of the best … and that means you own the Search Engines, they no longer own you all because you took some time to learn proper SEO techniques!

My Pathetic Little Internet Marketing Plan Part One
While I seriously doubt that many of my readers care much about me personally, at least some introduction to my personal story is necessary in order that you understand my pathetic little Internet Marketing plan and why it could very well be what a lot of people need to get where they want to be when it comes to getting started with making a living online.
I have found myself in something of a unique position full of both advantages and disadvantages. I am a writer by trade, something of an antagonist I suppose, though certainly not without reason or purpose and I went Galt about four years ago. That basically means that I left the rat race. Some of the reasons for my doing that were due to circumstances beyond my control and some were simply an increasing sense of frustration with “the real world” Thus, I left a very good job and came back to the Philippines so I could concentrate on my writing.
I never set out to get rich and I do not write books telling others how to get rich when I have not. I am a writer but as prices continue falling, I find myself having to increase my Internet Marketing efforts in order to continue living where I do and not having to re-enter the rat race. Thus, I have devised my pathetic little Internet Marketing plan in order to get started … again. You see, I was situated, but a “partner” decided to abscond with my funds and my products and leave me high and dry.
Oddly enough, when I did manage to get back online, I was approached with a way to get rich that looks very viable and I was honored to be evaluated for a case study for that project. I will be promoting it on my site when it becomes available to the general public and if you do already have the means in place, let me tell you, you will not be able to help succeeding with that one as long as you follow the plan that is given. Unfortunately, I do not have the necessary tools in place to follow it at this time and for me, it was simply not a viable option.
Thus it was that I, like many people just getting into Internet Marketing, began again with very little … effectively nothing but a web site and a drive to succeed.
While I cannot show you how to get rich online, I can show you a great place to start if you are like me and do not have excessive needs, do have a little bit of patience and are willing to work for your Internet Marketing Success.

List Building Online
Okay, I am changing my focus a little bit here.
I just got back online after a very long absence due to circumstances far beyond my control. I am going to be set up soon for doing some Internet Marketing and I thought that this would be as good of a place as any to start.
One of the most important aspects of building up a successful Internet Marketing is building a list. Since I have been offline for so long, not only do I not have a product, but I have no list, no writing clients and pretty much nothing going for me. I do however, finally have the means in place to get paid for my efforts so I am going to be making an effort to rebuild from scratch.
Since list building is so important, the first part of my online Internet Marketing adventure will be building up a list. While today is my first day, I have recently discovered a new tool known as the List Spawner. Not only does it seem viable, but actually very likely to help me to build a targeted niche list, but to build it quickly and rapidly.
If you have been involved with Internet Marketing for any length of time, you probably already have a good and responsive list. However, would it really hurt to add more potential customers to your lists online?
If you are new to the world of Internet Marketing, you should realize right off the bat that buying lists is going to be counter-productive and will never produce viable or consistent results. In other words, you can buy all of the lists and all of the traffic that you can afford and it is probably not going to do you any good at all.
You have to target the traffic to your site and the list that you build to a particular niche. If you want help doing this, I would have to say that my first day's results with this free software make it worthwhile. I do not have a list large enough to retire on after only one day, but I do have the start of one.
Whether you are trying to add on to your list or want to build an entirely new list in an entirely new niche, I would highly recommend the absolutely free software from List Spawner. Check it out, you really do have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Police State? Remember "The Running Man"?
It is interesting to me with all of these reality shows. The ones that impress me most are shows like "Cops" and "America's Most Wanted" where we get brownie points for helping the police catch these dangerous criminals. It's nice as a citizen to participate in our patriotic duty right?
Except?
Except that there are many problems with this. The most obvious of course is how many of these people are actually criminals? I do not have any doubt that most, or even more likely all of them are right now. But later on? As our rights become less and less apparent and less and less important? What about then?
Police have no civic duty to protect citizens any more. In fact they are encouraged against it by the law! Huh? How is that? Well, you see in a little advertised technicality, we do not have peace officers anymore like we used to. We now have law enforcement agents who are allowed to interpret the law at the "scene" and then must enforce and protect the Law without regard for the humanity involved.
I know there are still good cops out there but ask any of them if their job is the same now as it was twenty or even ten years ago. Things are always changing and many good people are caught up in the struggle, not just We The People.
Like so many powers which are given to the federal government in the name of safety or social welfare programs. Do you really think the government will relinquish that power willingly? Unfortunately, like taxes, government never met a power it did not like either.
When traffic cameras came out for anyone who cares to look it up or who remembers, they were only going to be used for monitoring traffic remember? They were never going to be used in any way to convict anyone or even as evidentiary materials but only to monitor traffic.
Like so many more things, Social Security, Anti this and that campaigns, our rights are eroded a little bit at a time until suddenly we wake up one day wondering where the few remaining rights went. Redistribution of wealth has been happening so long that We The People actively encourage big government to participate in it. The rights of private property owners used to be subject to scrutiny only in the public interest.
Remember that once again, it all crept up slowly until it was too late for We The People. Now private property can be taken from one private citizen and freely (and illegally) redistributed to another private citizen without regard for the private property owner.
What is the logical conclusion to all of these shows? Remember the movie "Running Man" with Arnold and of all people ... Richard Dawson as an entirely believable bad guy? How many people are going to worry about "a common criminal" that they have never met and do not know? After all, if the government or especially television tells us that this is a dangerous criminal it has to be true right? Everything we see on tv and everything that the government tells us is true right?
'Remember Cadre Members, double points for turning in a family member today!"
Is it really so difficult to see that coming? What stage will it be at before you wake up America?
