To most Americans, the meaning of Thanksgiving gets blurred by overeating, football and the anticipation of Black Friday shopping deals. However, the true meaning is simple: it’s a time to reflect and give thanks for the blessings in our lives.

This Thanksgiving, we at Master Google would like acknowledge the people, technology and search engine optimization techniques that make our work worthwhile.

1. First and foremost, we are thankful for all of our trusting customers. “They are our motivation and we don’t succeed unless they do,” said Ali Husayni, owner and founder of Master Google. Many of our clients have tried working with other SEO specialists in the past, only to find their promises broken and their trust betrayed. We would like to thank our customers for their faith in our work and their continued loyalty to our company.

2. “We are also grateful for our smart, dedicated and dynamic team,” Husayni added. Many of our customers don’t get a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into their optimization work, but behind those top rankings are hard working, intelligent individuals. “Without them, we wouldn’t be where we are today,” Husayni said.

3. We are thankful for Google’s new algorithm update, called Panda. “It was a great change,” Husayni explained. “It eliminated a lot of spam from Google’s search results, penalizing duplicate content and base sites,” Husayni explained. It aligns with our goal of creating fresh, new and relevant content, enabling our clients to better market themselves to Internet searchers.

4. Finally, we are thankful for black-hat SEO techniques. Yes, you heard us right. “Black-hat SEO methods have proven to us that white-hat techniques are the way to go,” Husayni said. Master Google never uses keyword stuffing, cloaking or other techniques frowned upon by search engines. “All of our techniques are approved by Google,” Husayni assured.

TAMPA, FLORIDA — We here at Master Google love innovation and technology, even if it’s outside the realm of SEO optimization service. That’s why we contributed recently to a student robotics project at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

The college students are making a robot butler as their Capstone project.

“I admire their ability to dream big,” says Ali Husayni, founder of Master Google and the affordable SEO services company’s top SEO services expert. “I’m also proud of my brother, Mahdi Zadeh, who is part of this group of college students.”

Zadeh and his classmates plan to build a robot from scratch that has unique abilities.

“This robot will carry beverages and plates on its back and will be sitting in a room ready for service,” Zadeh says, adding the robot will be called by a microphone through a voice activation system and will take orders such as “drink,” “food,” etc. Another possibility is that it will work with a number of claps.

For example, if you clap once, it will bring a beverage. If you clap twice, it will bring food.

“This robot is going to have the ability to find you wherever you are,” Zadeh says.

Locating people will be made possible through two GPS units. Thanks to a radar system (or bumper system) it will be equipped to dodge any walls or other obstacles that stand between you and the robot as it makes its way toward you.

Although Husayni says he looks forward to seeing the finished product, he’s also happy to have been able to contribute to an interesting cause.

“I believe that part of being a good business person means giving back to the community when you can,” said the Internet SEO specialist. “This is a hardworking group of students who are going to go on to do great things after they graduate. If this project helps advance those efforts, I’m proud to be part of it.”

ORANGE, CA— Vampires, zombies, witches and ghosts might send a chill down your spine, but what about the most terrifying search engine optimization techniques? Just when you thought you were safe, Master Google is introducing the top five scariest SEO methods that are sure to get your URL banned or blacklisted by Google.

Invisible Text

Including hidden text in the background of your site is an old black hat SEO technique. Invisible text is designed to be unseen by visitors, but detected by Google crawlers. There are many ways to implement this trick, such as making the text the same color as the background and hiding the text by positioning it behind and image. Ali Husayni, SEO expert and founder of Master Google, considers the technique malpractice, adding that “many sites have been penalized for using such SEO methods.”

Keyword Stuffing

Stuffing is bad. And we’re not just talking about the kind you eat with turkey. Also called over-optimization, keyword stuffing is the excessive use of keywords on a Web page. While a few repeats is okay and may even be necessary, overuse is frowned upon and can get you banned from Google. According to Husayni, keyword stuffing can be done in multiple places, like in the title tag, description tag, header tags, image tags and other content rich areas.

Link Farms

Link farms are a completely outdated and potentially dangerous way of link building. A link farm is a group of Web sites that all link back to each other created either by an automated service, or individuals. A site that uses link farms is sure to be detected by Google and penalized. Because some directories act like link farms, Husayni suggests submitting your site to only the most reputable Web directories.

Duplicate Content

If the copy on your Web site is plagiarized from someone else’s page, expect negative consequences. “Google is able to cache who the original owner of the text is and any other site that posts duplicate content will have its rank negatively affected on the search results,” Husayni advised.

Cloaking

Sounds scary, huh? Cloaking actually cloaks content, meaning that the content shown to search engines is different than that displayed by visitors’ browsers. Husayni said that this trick is most often enacted by doorway pages, using JavaScript redirect.

ORANGE, CA—Search engine optimization is an often confusing, constantly changing science but, at the same time, an absolutely essential part of marketing your business on the Internet. So what’s an overwhelmed newcomer to do?

According to Ali Husayni—industry expert and founder of SEO company Master Google—a newbie should do anything but give up.

“Without a strong SEO campaign, it is very difficult to compete in today’s market,” he said. “With the economy down, people spend their money wisely. Potential customers research anything and everything on the Internet before they contact any retailer or decide on services. If your site is not easily found, you are not able to compete effectively.”

I know what you’re thinking. “Okay, so it’s essential, but what is SEO, exactly?”

Husayni explained that SEO is “the art of changing sites and their popularity on the Internet so that search engines perceive them as highly valuable, thereby placing them at the top of their search results.”

What search engine should my SEO campaign focus on?

Now that we have established what SEO is and why it’s so important, it’s time to decide which search engine you should focus your campaign on. Husayni said that, while Yahoo and Microsoft’s Bing do get some traffic, those search numbers are nothing compared to Google.

“Google receives more than 75 percent of the global search market and about 65 percent of the domestic market,” Husayni said. “Google is the giant of search engines. If you are visible on Google, you’ll be attracting customers.”

How do I go about initiating my SEO work?

This should all be becoming a bit clearer, but we still need a plan of action. Husayni advised that there are multiple ways to go about SEO, such as hiring a company to do the work for you, employing an in-house SEO professional or working with an experienced SEO consultant.

“The path you choose to take depends on your market, your budget and your level of Internet savvy,” Husayni said.

Small companies, he said, are better off hiring a professional SEO company who can place them at the top of search engines at an affordable price. On the other hand, a larger firm working with a bigger budget could benefit from having an in-house SEO team, supplemented with coaching help from a reputable SEO company to keep them in check. And, of course, the more ambitious business owner with minimal time constraints could learn SEO practices himself, though Husayni recommends receiving some guidance from a seasoned professional.

What do I need to know about SEO before I begin?

Even if you choose to hire a SEO company to do your optimization work, it’s still important to know the main elements that will help you increase your site’s ranking. Husayni said that the three most crucial aspects of any Internet marketing campaign are optimization, lots of fresh content and popularity, also referred to as link building.

“The optimization gives Google the information it needs to understand the theme of each site,” he said. “Content gives Google the impression that the site is being updated with valuable information on a regular basis, thus providing useful information for its visitors.”

But remember, “Google is a machine with limitations and language barriers,” Husayni warned.

“The only two ways for Google crawlers to determine if your site is valuable are by measuring how often you update your content and by gauging whether or not you’ve copied your content from elsewhere, or written it yourself.”

Google’s algorithm is always changing, too. For example, Husayni said that, with the development of Google+, the search engine has “added the +1 button to further determine your site’s usefulness.”

I’ve started my SEO campaign, but how long will it take until I see results?

After learning the basics of SEO and how to get started, you still have a long, albeit rewarding, journey ahead.

“While changes to optimization are viewed by Google almost immediately—provided you have quality back links—other SEO components are built over time,” Husayni said. “So, initially, when we optimize a site, there is a jump in its ranking on Google. Then, slowly thereafter, the site gets ranked better and better.”

And it’s a journey you have to stick to in order to see lasting results.

“Google revamps its algorithm every few months, making it important to stay on top of new techniques,” Husayni said. “And your competition is not sitting idle. They’re also doing SEO and, depending on how many resources they allocate, they could replace your number one listing in a matter of months. So, take a deep breath and get ready for a long SEO battle.”

Google recently upgraded the Page Rank for our Web site from a 4 to a 6. This accomplishment is a result of our skill with SEO and hard work – and demonstrates how our clients can benefit by signing up for our SEO services.

Page Rank is the result of Google’s search algorithm, which gives a number to every hyperlinked set of documents as a measure of its importance on the Web. The algorithm assigns each Web site a number from 0 to 10 representing that site’s value to Google. The 0 to 10 scale is logarithmic, like the Richter Scale, so that each number is exponentially harder to achieve than the previous number.

Google does not reveal all the factors that go into determining Page Rank, but the score does depend in part on the number of inbound links for a Web site as well as the quality of the pages providing inbound links. In other words, if site A links to site B, Google interprets that as a “vote” by site A for site B. The weight given to site A’s vote, however, depends on its Page Rank. If there are no links to a Web page, there is no support for that page. Another factor influencing Page Rank is how often the Web site is updated with fresh content.

“We are very pleased to have Master Google’s Page Rank increase so dramatically,” said Master Google CEO Ali Husayni. “Since each number on Google’s Page Rank scale is exponentially harder to achieve than the previous number, the fact that Master Google’s rank has increased so quickly to a 6 is a tribute to the hard work of our employees and the high quality of our Web site’s material. Most SEO Web sites never achieve a Page Rank of 6. So, we’re ranked right up there among the best SEO companies in the world.”
