7 SEO Predictions For 2010
7 SEO Predictions For 2010We are settling nicely into this new year; though things have been turbulent in the real world, the web has enjoyed an easy, peaceful feeling so far – no major upsets or updates (some would argue they are both the same) have happened. Yet, late last year, Matt Cutts was definitive when he mentioned that the Caffeine roll-out can be expected after the holidays. Well, the holidays are over and the second month of the year almost upon us, so, those of you who haven’t yet taken stock of your SEO efforts, now would be a good time to do it. For, though SEO has remained largely unchanged over the years, this year will see some changes wrought to it thanks to the tremendous growth enjoyed by social media, and various developments in search technology. With this post I hope to bring you up to speed on all the changes you can expect to see in SEO this year and tell you just what you should do to claim a place on the SERPs.
1. Social Media Optimization Is The New SEO – This wouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone; in the last two years or so, SEOs around the web have come to realize and accept the immense optimization potential that social media offers. Now it’s even more important that you no longer see social media optimization as something that will take away from your SEO effort, but as something that will help boost it. Be it building good backlinks from individual social sites or building a robust network, or developing a strong social media presence with good profiles (that will also help you land on the first page of the search results) or even ensuring you’ve got a piece of the real-time search pie, using social media as a crutch to take forward your SEO efforts will (only) be a good idea.
2. Site Speed And Other On-Page Factors – If you belong to the group of people who think it’s all right to ignore on-page factors, then it is time you changed your way of thinking and got optimizing, the site load time in particular. In their (latest) effort to school the web in good behavior, Google has decided that a slow loading site doesn’t just align itself with their ‘Don’t Be Evil’ policy and hence needs to be ‘penalized’. Site speed will figure prominently in the algo this year, so will the oft-neglected Meta tags. So, get your Webmaster working on tweaking your on-page factors adequately or prepare to miss one crucial ranking opportunity. (Or many, for that matter) Read more

Directory Maximizer Launches Its New Social Bookmarking Service – Social Maximizer
Directory Maximizer Launches Its New Social Bookmarking Service – Social MaximizerDirectory Maximizer is thrilled to announce the launch of its new Social Bookmarking service, Social Maximizer on the 20th May ‘09.
Having recently revamped Directory Maximizer to give it a classy new look, we have since been working hard to come up with the best social bookmarking service for you. However, before going into the launch, a quick note on what social bookmarking is.
Social Bookmarking is the practice of saving your bookmarks online using a public website rather than doing it on your home/office PCs and categorizing (tag) them according to their content. With Social Bookmarking you can not only bookmark your favorites; you can share them with others as well. You can share your bookmarks with your specific group of acquaintances or with a network of people, with the lever of privacy in your hands. Another advantage of Social Bookmarking is that it is not necessary to submit only the home page URL, you can submit any page from your site or blog, you can even submit a particular article or post if you want. You can submit the page for which you want maximum exposure and as more and more like minded people view and share your bookmark, the traffic to this page increases. This fact has been well recognized by website owners and affiliates and they have been using this tactic to get more and more traffic to their site.
Having seen the rage with which the bookmarking fever was spreading across the internet, Directory Maximizer wanted its esteemed clients to benefit from it as well and it was then, that we decided on the concept of Social Maximizer.
