“Google Instant is a new search enhancement that shows results as you type. We are pushing the limits of our technology and infrastructure to help you get better search results, faster.

Our key technical insight was that people type slowly, but read quickly, typically taking 300 milliseconds between keystrokes, but only 30 milliseconds (a tenth of the time!) to glance at another part of the page. This means that you can scan a results page while you type.”

• Our thoughts at Ab Fab Internet Marketing and SEO?  We like it and this will hopefully see the SEO business wake up and change strategies or disappear.  Real – Real time search is here. Who Blogs and Tweets wins..

Blogs and Search Engines

Blogs are superb search engine magnets, directing not only potential customers to business landing pages, but also regular and targeted traffic from Google searches. Search engines crawl content and keyword rich blog sites  bringing the blog   closer to the top of page rankings or even in many cases number one.

When composing blogs, be sure to make your contact information clear and make navigation easy to help convert views to sales or visits to bricks and mortar retail stores offering specials and goods on sale

If you’re thinking about hiring an SEO, the earlier the better.

A great time to hire is when you’re considering a site redesign, or planning to launch a new site. That way, you and your SEO can ensure that your site is designed to be search engine-friendly from the bottom up. However, a good SEO can also help improve an existing site.

Some useful questions to ask an SEO include:

• Can you show me examples of your previous work and share some success stories?
• Do you follow the Google Webmaster Guidelines?
• Do you offer any online marketing services or advice to complement your organic search business?
• What kind of results do you expect to see, and in what timeframe? How do you measure your success?
• What’s your experience in my industry?
• What’s your experience in my country/city?
• What’s your experience developing international sites?
• What are your most important SEO techniques?
• How long have you been in business?
• How can I expect to communicate with you? Will you share with me all the changes you make to my site, and provide detailed information about your recommendations and the reasoning behind them?

While SEOs can provide clients with valuable services, some unethical SEOs have given the industry a black eye through their overly aggressive marketing efforts and their attempts to manipulate search engine results in unfair ways. Practices that violate our guidelines may result in a negative adjustment of your site’s presence in Google, or even the removal of your site from our index. Here are some things to consider:

• Be wary of SEO firms and web consultants or agencies that send you email out of the blue.

SEO is an acronym for “search engine optimisation” or “search engine optimiser.”

Deciding to hire an SEO is a big decision that can potentially improve your site and save time, but you can also risk damage to

your site and reputation.

Make sure to research the potential advantages as well as the damage that an irresponsible SEO can do to your site. Many SEOs and other agencies and consultants provide useful services for website owners, including:

• Review of your site content or structure
• Technical advice on website development: for example, hosting, redirects, error pages, use of JavaScript
• Content development
• Management of online business development campaigns
• Keyword research
• SEO Training
• Expertise in specific markets and geographies.

GMail or Google Mail Your First Step To Online Success

I notice that people are dropping Yahoo! and Hotmail email addresses and using Facebook to email contacts and friends a lot more.

I imagine this is mainly non business

Our crystal ball here at Ab Fab SEO and Internet marketing tells us that getting a Google Mail or GMail email address would be a good move for business small, medium and large – very, very soon

Google are about to unleash what is being called “Google Me” on the world soon and to be honest my mind boggles!

For business it will mean real time search moving to the fore and this will mean using Google Buzz (ala Twitter but no fail whales), Google Profiles, Picasa, Google Places, Orkut (could be re engineered to be the Google Facebook), Google Voice, Blogger, Google Docs and Sites could all be part of the mix and make life so much easier – be it friends, business or a mix of both.

I see it all coming now and one to watch is Rapportive

• The absolute best strategy to increase your rankings in Google is to be the best, most useful and most relevant site about the subject of your key words.
• The absolute worse strategy to increase your rankings in Google is to try to manipulate Google.

The above is true if you are a business seeking to have a responsible web presence. In other words if you are a store or a hotel or want to have a respectable name for your venture. I would be lying to you if I said that people aren’t making money manipulating Google. The people who are manipulating Google will not have a lasting web presence but many enjoy short term profit.

The goal of my website is to explain the Google webmaster guidelines and offer advice about how to follow them. The people who will profit most from following these guidelines are the people who are making a web presence that they want to last long time.

Owners can now respond to reviews on Google Places!

Google has made a significant change to their Google Places service. This is a fantastic leap forward which will hopefully stop “other businesses” placing bad reviews on Google – it gives local businesses a chance to answer back – I know of several people with bad reviews that are so obviously from their competition – nasty deeds!

They are now allowing owners to respond to comments made on their official Places listing.

This would require you to be the person who verified the business/destination on the Google Places service.

We help you with almost anything and everything Google in Plymouth, Devon and Cornwall for LESS that most big companies.

We are totally honest, straight forward and able to accept jobs of all sizes.

We also design websites that actually rank well on Google and build in Social Media Marketing if you wish

From Google:

• Starting today, if you’re a verified Google Places business owner, you can publicly respond to reviews written by Google Maps users on the Place Page for your business. Engaging with the people who have shared their thoughts about your business is a great way to get to know your customers and find out more. Both positive and negative feedback can be good for your business and help it grow (even though it’s sometimes hard to hear). By responding, you can build stronger relationships with existing and prospective customers.

“Whether you’re looking for a great lounge to hang out with your friends or a trusty shop to repair your bicycle, the web is a great place to discover and learn about local businesses and services. Some of the listings on Google Maps showcase reviews to help prospective customers make informed decisions and find the places that are just right for them.

Reviews on Google Maps are assembled from a variety of sources on the web to give you the best possible overview of what people are saying about a specific place. We also encourage users to share their opinions by writing reviews directly on the Place Page of any place they’ve visited, be it a local business, tourist attraction or the like.”
