The Ultimate Job Search Engine?
// March 15th, 2010 // No Comments » // All Business
Is Indeed.com the “ultimate job search engine?” The following is a quote from an Indeed.com marketing manager:
“Indeed, the most comprehensive search engine for jobs, pioneered a radically improved approach to job search. Since 2004, Indeed has given job seekers free access to millions of jobs from thousands of company websites and job boards. The simple and straight-forward design of the website makes for a user-friendly job search. Indeed.com Canada makes it easy for job seekers to drill down to find exactly the right jobs. Any job search can be saved as an email alert that can be delivered daily or weekly.
With millions of job seekers and hundreds of millions of job searches per month, Indeed.com is a leading search engine for jobs.” Looks good to me!
Keyword Importance for SEO
// January 3rd, 2010 // No Comments » // All Business
Good Keywords, Good SEO? Most “SEOists” would say, “yeah, it helps to have and use good keywords to be successful online.” Which keywords, and where and how to use them? Well, that’s always up for debate! A good keyword domain is helpful, as is an appropriate use of relevant keywords throughout your website. Some solid “back links” with helpful anchor text, and a little tweaking now and then to ensure currency, and you’re on your way!
Of course, it’s a bit more complex than that, but “good keywords are a good start.” Understanding them is important, and it can be tedious work. I’m currently working on one of my keyword sites – www.mattressknowledge.com The best descriptive anchor (keyword) text for this site is Mattress Information Website. Wish me luck, or better yet > success!
Keyword Domain Names – GOOD IDEA?
// December 23rd, 2009 // No Comments » // All Business
Are “keyword domain names” a good investment? I say yes! There’s just something about a generic keyword domain that “oozes” logic, potential type-in traffic and begs for development.
I’ve seen some beauties over the years; I even have a few myself. A few that I like, that I don’t own > www.seobook.com , www.searchenginewatch.com , www.communitycollege.com & www.canadianwebhosting.com. A few I like, that I do own > Student Loan Application , Student Union Directory & Halifax Law Firm! Were those good investments? Time will tell, but so far, YES!
Merry Christmas!
Personal Injury Lawyers in Atlantic Canada
// October 31st, 2009 // No Comments » // All Business
I was doing some search engine “keyword research” for a friend recently. He was interested in finding out how search engines rank websites and specifically how his personal injury law firm ranked for related legal keywords. I assured him that only a “handful of people” really understand how search engines “do what they do” and they likely worked for one of the “big three search engines.” I talked to him about ethical SEO, relevant link building strategies and the importance of “real, honest website content.”
He’s a quick study, but he still wanted to know how well his Moncton Law Firm was doing in the online “personal injury” related keyword space. His firm, www.cantini.com is a full-service personal injury law firm serving all of Atlantic Canada from offices in Moncton, New Brunswick, Halifax, Nova Scotia & PEI, Canada. As it turns out, the Cantini Law Group ranks well for some competitive legal keywords including: Halifax Personal Injury Lawyers, Nova Scotia Law Firm, New Brunswick Personal Injury
Law Firm and Moncton Law Firm, to name a few. The Cantini Law Group can be found online at www.cantini.com.
