		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, the web design and SEO community was totally abuzz about Google’s latest search engine update.  Specifically, the search engine now instantly updates the search engine results page (SERP) instantly as a user types in their search query.  Each letter typed refines and refreshes the search results displayed. Sidenote: If you’re saying to yourself, “yeah…but they’ve been doing that for years,” please note that the Google Instant Search is different than how it worked before.  Until recently, with each letter of a search query typed into the search box, the search engine made suggestions based on what was typed—but it still required the human user to press “Search,” select the result presented, or click Enter in order to display the actual search results on the page.  This is what’s changed—again, the results dynamically display and refresh in real time now with each letter typed. If you haven’t tried this out yet, give it a spin…it’s actually really cool. So anyway, as you can imagine (and as with any change to how the search engine works), most of the SEO community started a mass state of panic.  All of the sudden, the way they all optimized and created [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s easy to be overwhelmed when looking at and comparing different ways to increase traffic to your website.  You probably know the common list of questions: Will this strategy actually work? Will the results outpace the costs involved? Can I trust the offer? It is a good thing to ask plenty of questions and do the necessary research before committing to a traffic-enhancing plan. But Let’s Be Frank.   Guaranteed search engine results are just not realistic.  So no… they’re not possible either unless you believe you will be one is some statistical anomaly that actually gets REAL value for the money you&#8217;ve just spent. Why Not?   Here are just a few reasons guaranteed search engine results are just &#8220;to good to be true&#8221;: The standards change every day. Internal and external components of a website or blog can affect ranking. For reasons only know within the secretive search engine industry, some sites are almost always given preference over others, regardless of the algorithms. If someone could achieve guaranteed results for valuable keywords, why on gods earth are they selling them to you; and chances are, selling them &#8220;Pretty Darn Cheap&#8221;. And the list could go on and on… [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Would you be surprised to know that according to recent industry reports, Google searches account for nearly 70% of all searches on the web and the percentage is still growing?  It’s true – Google is clearly the leader of the pack, only distantly trailed by Yahoo Search (about 20%), MSN Search (about 5%), and Ask (about 4%).  With market share changing regularly, here are the five reasons Google dominates the web search market: Reason One:  The term “Google” has become a verb. Google as a brand has become incredibly effective.  In fact, they’ve become so well known that their name has even become its own verb.  For example, you “Google” something all the time, but how often do you “Yahoo” something, or “MSN” a search term?  It’s clear that delivering a consistent product and accurate results has helped Google become the standard as they continue to dominate search. Reason Two:  Google has maintained their focus on delivering accurate results. Even though there are a handful of fanatics out there that question Google’s motives and intentions, it’s generally fair to say that Google has done an excellent job when it comes to preventing search engine spammers (those that use black hat SEO [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google’s PageRank system has more or less dominated the conversations of webmasters and online marketers for many years.  Naturally, everyone seems to have a different opinion on how the PageRank process works and how much effect it has on a site’s popularity.  As controversial as it is in some circles, there is also some common ground on the system. A Look Back At PageRank And Backlinks   Just a few years ago, having high PageRank was extremely important.  It meant that a website was popular, thanks in part to incoming links (commonly referred to as backlinks) and a variety of other algorithm calculations and probabilities.  The thing is, webmasters and online marketers became so obsessed with building their PageRank, that they began to resort to unnatural and unethical means to trick their way to a higher score.  Because the trickery more or less defeated the purpose of the PageRank score, the model quickly adapted. Actual PageRank Versus PageRank Displayed   While the precise details are proprietary information, Google’s internal PageRank system is now reputed to be completely separate from the displayed indicator available as part of the Google Toolbar or via other browser plug-ins and add-ons.  This means that Google [...]]]></description>
