Google’s Increased Market Shares Reaffirm Master Google’s Focus, SEO Expert Says

By , in Articles, News, on October 24, 2011 | 5 comments

ORANGE, CA— Google’s U.S. market share increased from 64.8 percent in August to 65.3 percent in September, reaffirming that the search engine should be the main focus of business owners’ search engine optimization campaigns.

On October 11, comScore, Inc.—a global leader in digital business world analytics—released its monthly analysis of the nationwide search market, revealing that 65.3 percent of searchers typed their queries into Google’s search box. During the same month-long period, second place market shareholder Yahoo fell to 15.5 percent, trailed by Microsoft’s Bing that remained unchanged at 14.7 percent.

Ali Husayni, SEO expert and founder of Master Google, said that Google’s increase was predictable, considering the company’s history of technological innovation.

“With Google being the cutting edge provider of search, it’s only natural for their search market to grow,” he said.

Husayni said that Google’s recent raise in market shares validates Master Google’s concentration on the search engine giant.

“It reiterates our thought process in developing our SEO strategies to focus on Google alone,” Husayni said. “Ranking on Google is what generates new business, which is our goal for every one of our clients.”

Following the release of the comScore report, shares of Google increased by $22.05, amounting to $537.17, compared with Yahoo, which rose just 37 cents to $15.84 and Bing, which climbed 69 cents to reach $26.94.

“Business owners should be aware that, in order to stay in business and grow, they need to be found on Google search results,” Husayni added. “That is the bottom line. If your business is not on Google, your business is doomed.”

Google’s third quarter results, which were announced October 13, reported revenues of $9.72 billion. “We had a great quarter,” said Larry Page, CEO of Google, in a press release posted on Google Investor Relations. “Revenue was up 33 percent year on year and our quarterly revenue was just short of $10 billion. Google+ is now open to everyone and we just passed the 40 million user mark. People are flocking into Google+ at an incredible rate and we are just getting started!”

The wealth of new search features and social networking components is what sets Google apart from the competition, Husayni said.

“The search results are not diluted or full of spam,” he said. “They have a very sophisticated, fast-paced way of analyzing sites and their relevancy to a particular query. What’s more, their development of Google+ is a good alternative to Facebook and Twitter.”

Husayni said that, in light of Google’s imminent monopoly of the search market, the Master Google team will continue becoming better at optimization strategies specifically geared toward Google crawlers.

“Now there is going to be even more competition for Google placement,” Husayni said. “And Master Google will certainly rise to the challenge.”

In-House SEO: Small Businesses Are Choosing A Different Tact For Optimization

By Vonya Griffin , in Articles, on October 18, 2011 | 5 comments

TAMPA, FLORIDA—Many companies have been doing search engine optimization in-house for a long time, but they have traditionally been bigger businesses. This year, Ali Husayni has noticed more interest from small to mid-sized businesses in his SEO consulting and coaching services.

“For large companies with a large website and a big marketing budget, in-house SEO has been a no-brainer,” says Husayni, the founder and CEO of Master Google, SEO company. “Smaller companies are realizing that SEO is a force to be reckoned with and that they need it to be competitive in their market.”

One example of in-house SEO and what it can accomplish is Huffington Post, a news source with syndicated columnists, blogs and news stories. Due to the SEO work of their in-house team, the Web site www.huffingtonpost.com was outranking the news organizations’ Web sites, such as Washington Post and CNN, who originally posted the articles, according to a New York Times article.

Business owners see the success of large companies. They also see their competitors doing well in search engine results (SERs) and are determined to get similar results. Some try outsourcing SEO first, but the average business owner does not have the knowledge to discern a real SEO expert from a con artist.

“They may try one or two SEO companies and get burned,” says Husayni, who offers free SEO consulting to qualified business owners. “There are a lot of SEO firms that make a client an SEO guarantee, including big promises about results and a time frame that they just can’t deliver on.”

A recent blog post about small businesses and in-house SEO makes a similar statement about scammers, adding four other reasons for the trend: save money in the long-run, reduce dependence, confidentiality and individualized attention.

Husayni maintains that avoiding the SEO scam artist is the number one reason for this in-house SEO trend, though.

“Instead of potentially wasting money on a company that doesn’t deliver, businesses are investing that money in an SEO team,” says Husayni, who offers a package for top of Google results with a 100% money-back guarantee.

According to Bob Tripathi, an internet marketing expert and Search Engine Watch blogger, the in-house SEO is often undervalued because monthly SEO dashboards or quarterly business reviews cannot capture the intangible benefits it offers the company.

Besides improving search engine rankings, which leads to increased visibility and more customers, Tripathi says in-house SEO can provide unique thought leadership, unite departments and attract outside expertise.

But the task of creating an in-house SEO program from the ground up can be quite overwhelming, which is why Husayni recommends businesses work with an SEO consultant or coach throughout the process.

AOL’s director in charge of search engine optimization, Simon Heseltine, recommends that companies without experience in-house hire an SEO agency to help get the program up and running.

“I’d say that for a company that is going to start an in-house team, they need to make sure that they know what questions to ask and what answers to expect,” says Heseltine.

Husayni says that utilizing a consultant helps businesses minimizes the risks of setting up an SEO team and maximizes the return on investment by showing them where to start, who to hire, what to focus on and how to measure success.

He expects the trend of small businesses turning to in-house SEO teams will continue, eventually become the industry norm. Because of this, Husayni is currently developing additional content on his website and blog, including how-to posts, top SEO secrets that are not actually secrets and information about hiring SEO, as well as articles with the latest information on the topic.

“SEO is a dynamic industry, always changing, always presenting new challenges to overcome and puzzles to solve,” says Husayni. “This is just a new way for Master Google to help clients achieve and maintain their search engine results’ success.”

Google Instant Alters the Way Users Search, Not SEO Techniques

By , in Articles, on September 30, 2011 | 9 comments

ORANGE, CA-One year after Google updated its search capabilities with Google Instant, the experts at Master Google said that the tool—which some forecasted to be the death of search engine optimization—is just another change within a continuously evolving industry.

Google Instant, first launched in September 2010, is a feature that guesses what a user is searching for as it is typed into Google’s search bar, providing real-time search results that adapt to the final word or phrase entered.

“It shows you what most people are looking for, based on your initial few letters or words,” Ali Husayni, SEO expert and founder of Master Google, said. “You can then select the most sought after keywords from a drop-down box menu.”

At last year’s Google Search Event in San Francisco, company vice president Marissa Mayer predicted the new tool to save users two to five seconds per search, equating to 350 million hours saved collectively each year.

For a searcher, Google Instant means a more productive and personalized search. For SEO experts, it means another small adjustment to take into account.

“We want our clients’ sites to come up on Google for keywords or phrases that people are actually looking for,” Husayni said.

Because Google Instant’s real-time results are based on the popularity of certain queries, Husayni said it’s possible  to see a shift in keyword usage down the line.

Similarly, right after Google Instant debuted, Google search engineer Matt Cutts said that, while the results will remain the same for a particular query, “it’s possible that people will learn to search differently over time.”

For this reason, Husayni said that the team at Master Google will continue to keep a close eye on regional keyword statistics using the Google AdWords keyword selector tool.

“But remember, this is just a new trend in search,” Husayni said.

The new tool merely effects the way that users interact with the search engine, not the way that Google ranks pages. The algorithm hasn’t changed, Husayni assured.

Even though Husayni doesn’t anticipate any drastic changes to SEO methods in the future, he said that Google Instant, combined with the power of Google Places, has already shifted search results to reflect more specific areas.

“Traditionally, if you typed in ‘orthodontics,’ Google would show results from all over the Internet,” Husayni said. “But if you search for this query today, Google will show you a list of three to ten different orthodontic services in your area, depending on where you’re based.”

These real-time, geo-centered results have made Master Google’s focus on both Internet-wide and local rankings stronger than ever.

“We can no longer just worry about the general search engine results. We have to be aware of the local results and get our clients to rank there, too.”

SEO Expert Racks Up Publications

By Lorrie Walker , in Announcements, News, on September 28, 2011 | 2 comments

TAMPA, FLORIDA — Ali Husayni has been a prolific writer in the past several months, and that is apparent in the September issue of Orthotown Magazine, where one of his articles appears.

Husayni, founder of the SEO consultation firm Master Google, wrote an article titled, “Long Live the King- SEO Still Rules the Internet Marketing World.” The article explains how SEO marketing strategies provide the best value for the money.

The article tells readers how developing keywords, optimizing their websites, developing quality inbound links, participating in social media circles and utilizing Google Places can help orthodontists ensure that when people in their geographic location search for orthodontic providers, their websites appear prominently in organic search results.

The Orthotown article features comments from two of Master Google’s clients who have had a great deal of success in their practices as a result of their SEO campaigns: Bob Donovan, administrator of Dr. David Alpan’s practice, Aesthetic Orthodontics in Las Vegas; and Peter Eisenhuth, administrator of Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth’s Eagan, Minnesota orthodontics practice.

Donovan and Eisenhuth offer valuable insight to orthodontists considering an SEO campaign, Husayni says, adding that he was particularly happy with Eisenhuth’s input because Eisenhuth had worked with two other SEO firms prior to choosing Master Google. That experience brought about several helpful tips, which Eisenhuth shared during his interview for the article.

“I’ve enjoyed showing readers of these publications how our search engine optimization results are better than those of our competitors by explaining a bit about what we do,” says Husayni, who has had articles published in “The McGill Advisory,” Bentson, Clark & Copple’s “reSource,” and “The Progressive Orthodontist” this year.

Husayni also has been forthcoming with advice on what practitioners can do on their own to improve their SEO in Google organic search results.

“We’ve shown through some of these articles that there are several steps orthodontists can take on their own to improve their sites’ rankings on Google,” he says. “But we also make it known that for advanced SEO work, it’s best to bring in a professional. Of course, we want them to choose us because we truly believe our efforts are the most effective and we back that claim up with an SEO guarantee.”

SEO Expert Has Article Published in “reSource”

By Lorrie Walker , in News, on September 13, 2011 | 3 comments

TAMPA, FLORIDA — Google search optimization expert Ali Husayni recently had an article published in the popular orthodontics publication- Bentson, Clark and Copple’s “reSource.”

It is a quarterly publication.

Husayni’s article gives helpful tips on how- with the proper approach to SEO- first page Google results are at orthodontists’ fingertips. The article is titled, “Beat Your Competition on Google Organic Search Without Hiring an SEO Firm.”

“We’ve had an incredible amount of success over the years with our orthodontist and dentist clients, in terms of getting their websites to appear on the first page of search results for their most important keywords,” says Husayni, an SEO services and website ranking expert. “There are plenty of steps practices can take on their own to improve their search rankings, and this article shares 10 of the most important steps.”

Some of the tips Husayni gives include recommending that practices list their sites on Google Places, and having their webmaster build a blog under their site’s domain name.

“Particularly with Google SEO, blog updates done frequently are a key factor in improving organic search results,” Husayni says.

Other recommendations made to orthodontists were to write articles and press releases about their practices and post them on their blogs and on relevant distribution sites. Husayni also recommends that practices add their sites to the Yahoo! Directory.

Orthodontists who belong to professional organizations can request that those organizations place a link to the orthodontist’s site from their site. He listed civic organizations and non-profits as examples.

Husayni embarked on an article writing campaign earlier this year to share important SEO information with orthodontic and dental professionals. He recently has had articles published in “The McGill Advisory” and “The Progressive Orthodontist,” in addition to “reSource.” He also has an article slated for publication in an upcoming issue of Orthotown magazine.

“I would like to parlay this into some speaking engagements at future seminars and conferences,” Husayni says. “SEO is important, and I enjoy helping dental and orthodontic practices increase their revenue by enabling more patients find them easily online. I want a platform to share this information with more of these professionals.”

Top Four Reasons People Are Reluctant To Spend Money for SEO

By Vonya Griffin , in Articles, on September 13, 2011 | 9 comments

TAMPA, FLORIDA—Almost every person seeking search engine optimization services with Master Google is initially skeptical and reluctant to invest—a trend that Ali Husayni says has stayed the same since he joined the industry in 2004.

“Many businesses see their competition ranking better than them, but they’ve tried SEO a couple of times and it’s failed,” he says. “So they often abandon the whole project, thinking no one can get them there.”

Husayni has built his top SEO business by convincing those skeptics to give him a chance to get them there, delivering on his promises and converting them into long-term clients.

Husayni provides professional SEO and website services, including optimization, inbound-link building, Google+ SEO and keywords analysis. He hears the same anti-SEO objections over and over again and has developed a retort for each one.

SEO Is Relevant For Every Business
A lot of small business owners do not see the value of SEO and make the mistake of assuming that it does not matter for their business.

“Americans performed 15.5 billion searches in 2010, and around 80 percent of customers research a product or service before making a purchase,” Husayni says, whose free SEO services include a site analysis. “So it doesn’t matter if you are offering dog grooming services, consulting or selling exotic cars, you want potential clients to be able to find you.”

As one illustration of SEO’s relevance, he says being found at the top of Google search results in the orthodontic field, depending on location, can increase yearly income $50,000 to $300,000.

SEO Produces Results…Over Time
Another objection Husayni hears repeatedly is that SEO does not produce results because they worked with an SEO company for six weeks and there was no change in the search engine results.

“If people expect huge results in a very short period of time, they are bound to be disappointed,” he says. “Search engine optimization is an ongoing process that takes time, especially if the website has been in trouble for bad SEO practices in the past.”

While some clients see results quicker, significant results take around three to nine months, although that is influenced by the client market and strength and the client’s background, according to Saeed Khosravi, the operational manager at Master Google.

Husayni gets his clients to the top search engine results though, and he fully guarantees his work.

Here is what one of Master Google clients, Paul Kariniemi, a co-owner of Retrofoam of Arizona says about his experience: “With all the used car sales types out their pushing SEO on business owners, I must say it’s been refreshing to deal with true SEO professionals who deliver real, quantifiable results.”

Return On Investment Is Significant
Some people look at search engine results page rank to gauge whether the SEO is working, while others attempt to measure the return on investment in other ways, wrongly concluding that the investment does not pay off.

“We can precisely measure the increase in site traffic within the time the client signs up for SEO,” says Husayni, who shares free website optimization tips on his blog. “The bottom line is higher ranks on Google result in more targeted traffic which translates to more sales.”

Master Google provides clients with weekly ranking reports as one tool to track changes in keyword ranking on Google and other search engines. With the correct system in place, businesses can measure their campaign success based on the sales calls they generate from the Internet. SEO by far has the best ROI compared to other forms of advertisement.

Eagan, MN orthodontist Jennifer Eisenhuth had been with two SEO companies prior to Master Google and neither company could get her practice past page two of Google search results. After signing up with Husayni, she saw new patient exams from the Internet go up 500 percent from year to year, with new patient revenue from Internet case startups more than 400 percent during the same time frame.

Not Every SEO Company Over Promises And Under Delivers
One of the biggest obstacles to signing up new clients is that they have usually had bad experiences with other SEO companies before coming to Master Google. Some of them might have fallen prey to black hat SEO, techniques that exploit SEO Google guidelines and bring harsh penalties from search engines when discovered.

Two examples of these bad techniques are keyword stuffing and link farming. Keyword stuffing is creating content consisting of keywords and nothing else, no relevant content or meaningful text. Link farms are sites that sell businesses link space. These pages often have no real content and contain hundreds or thousands of links to other sites that are totally unrelated.

“I understand that a lot of business owners have been burned by SEO companies before, which is why I show them similar businesses in similar markets that we have helped,” says Husayni. “Then, I ask them to contact those people and hear for themselves what we did for them.”

Matthew Smillie, who owns Aruba Villa Vacation Homes, says other SEO companies let him down but that Master Google did what they said they would. “I highly recommend Ali Husayni’s company,” he says on the testimonials page on the Master Google website.

Husayni offers a free SEO consultation to people who are interested in finding out how they can SEO their site. Even though the testimonials alone practically sell his services, Husayni also offers clients a 100 percent money-back guarantee if he does not deliver on the results he promised.

Embedded Blogs Are An Integral Aspect of SEO

By Lorrie Walker , in Articles, on August 8, 2011 | 39 comments

TAMPA, FLORIDA – Search engine optimization is all about figuring out what search engines want most and implementing those strategies on a website, which is precisely what Ali Husayni and his SEO team are doing with Master Google.

One thing Google loves most is fresh textual content, according to Saeed Khosravi, the company’s operational manager. The SEO marketing service uses WordPress blogs to get and keep their clients on the first page of the search engine results (SERs).

Husayni and his SEO team are always monitoring updates to Google algorithms so they can adjust their strategies and stay on the cutting edge of SEO. Right now, Husayni says WordPress blogs are an important part of SEO techniques.

“By incorporating a blog into a website and posting unique content on a regular basis, you will feed Google with what it likes most and will convince the search engine to crawl your site more often,” says Khosravi, an expert in organic SEO.

The sub-directory setup, or embedded option, is what gives the most benefit for search engine optimization. An embedded blog helps the ranking of the associated site, whereas blogs set up on a sub-domain do not because they are treated as a separate domain by Google and other search engines.

An embedded blog URL looks like this: www.mastergoogle.com/blog. Any other format, for example blog.mastergoogle.com, means the blog is setup as a sub-domain.

“If clients already have a blog, we optimize it to meet their SEO needs, but if they don’t, we will set up their blog as part of our SEO services,” says Husayni, who is a leading resource for businesses seeking SEO outsourcing services.

Master Google uses the clients’ blogs to continuously update the site and provide readers with quality content, which increases online recognition and establishes their sites as a main source of information in their respective markets.

Each new post gives another opportunity to add keywords to the URL, title, description and keywords. This is a recent post about ranking on Google places by Husayni on the Master Google blog as an example.

URL: http://www.mastergoogle.com/blog/google-places-is-where-you-need-to-be.php

<title> How to Get Your Website High on Google Places | MasterGoogle.com</title>

<meta name="description" content="Small businesses can increase their chances of success and prosperity by ranking well on Google's first page. In local markets, that'd be Google Places. Learn how to get there." />

<meta name="keywords" content="1st page of google,ali husayni,google places,google seo,optimization,orthodontics seo,seo,top of google" />

WordPress has features and functions built in that are automatically set up for SEO. The blog will guide spiders through the posts, pages and categories, quickly and easily gathering information about what to include in the search engine’s index, according to Husayni.

Setting up a WordPress blog does not have to be time consuming, but Khosravi stresses the importance of the blog looking the same as the site to maintain a cohesive aesthetic. There is a famous five-minute WordPress installation with step-by-step instructions on the company’s site.

Some web hosting providers set up WordPress for their clients for no charge. There are also many tutorials and videos online explaining how to set up a WordPress blog. Google has a starter guide that includes explanation, how-to and best practices for basic SEO techniques.

“For those with limited budget, my suggestion is to install a WordPress blog, use a free theme and just focus time and energy on writing quality posts,” says Khosravi.

Because WordPress is essentially a content management system, it is also a great option for people who do not have a website but want to get one and start search engine optimization right away with WordPress. The company or business can use the blog as their website. Khosravi says there is no drawback from a SEO perspective to running an entire site on WordPress.

Husayni’s e-book, “Google SEO Secrets Revealed,” helps small business owners determined to bring their business to the top of Google search results with more than a hundred tips about SEO that they can implement themselves.

“At the end of the day, a website with high quality content of any kind and strong back-links is the winner of the Google game,”   Khosravi says. “But having an active WordPress blog can make things a lot easier and in some competitive markets having a blog is a crucial and determining factor.”

Our Resident SEO Expert Has Article Published in Prestigious Orthodontics Newsletter

By Lorrie Walker , in News, on August 6, 2011 | 7 comments

Tampa, FL — Our resident professional SEO expert, Ali Husayni, has had an article published in the July issue of The McGill Advisory, a prestigious monthly publication geared toward orthodontists and dentists.

Husayni’s article explains how dentists and orthodontists- or any business, for that matter- can create a successful Internet search engine strategy for themselves.

“Every year, more dentists and orthodontists who have websites see how significant a role the Internet plays in attracting new patients,” says Husayni. “I felt that by providing some information on SEO link popularity and other SEO-related topics, it would be helpful to practices who are interested in bolstering their Web presence.”

Furthermore, Husayni knew the information he provided might also help doctors determine whether providing quality SEO services for themselves was a task they could tackle alone, or if they needed to turn to a SEO consulting firm to achieve their goals, he says.

“Sometimes providing a road map for SEO services has the opposite effect of giving a business owner the confidence to try making some changes and improvements on their own,” Husayni says. “Sometimes it actually shines a light on how much you don’t know about SEO, and provides the tipping point that prompts you to turn to a professional.”

Either way, Husayni is happy to provide the information, he says.

Husayni’s article shares information about recent changes in Google’s algorithm that might affect business’s website rankings. Here at Master Google, we help clients stay abreast of their sites’ rankings by providing weekly SEO ranking reports.

The article also covers information on Google’s anti-spam strategy, and it sheds light on the difference between “black hat” and “white hat” SEO techniques. It also explains what it could mean if your website is ranked on Page 1, but drops off the first page unexpectedly, as well as what fluctuations in your site’s rank might mean.

“The only thing not changing with SEO is that it’s always changing,” Husayni says. “It is my hope that the article makes that point clear to dentists and orthodontists and prompts them either to be diligent in keeping up with those changes as they handle their site’s SEO, or to partner with a qualified SEO provider to handle that task for them.”

The McGill Advisory costs $20 per issue for individual issues, or $227 for an annual subscription. Dentists and orthodontists interested in subscribing to The McGill Advisory can contact the publication for more information, (888) 249-7537, or visit their website: www.mcgillhillgroup.com.
