SEO Elite Reviews – Demo Videos Of SEO Elite Features
Written by caymanhost on February 22, 2010 – 1:10 pmSEO Elite – Review & videos
SEO Elite reviews can be found all over the web nowadays and this alone means that you may have considered using it yourself at some point. SEO Elite from Brad Callen has been around for several years now and in its latest incarnation, SEO Elite 4, is still performing well for many webmasters, even though it has had and continues to have its critics. All webmasters know that search engine optimization and keyword research are vitally important aspects of running a website or blog; at least if you want traffic to your sites.
Never an exact science, SEO has spawned a huge industry and not a little controversy over the years. The only thing that most people agree on is that the whole business is an ever changing sea of methodology and that what is a great SEO technique today, may be next to useless tomorrow. With search engines forever tweaking their algorithms and ranking factors, it is almost impossible for anyone other than those working on those factors, to know what exactly needs to be done to get a decent position in the search engine results pages and keep it.
Naturally, developers have come up with numerous software tools and packages to try and crack the business of achieving a top ranking, with varying degrees of success.

SEO Elite has been around for several years and has somehow continued to prove its effectiveness and worth, despite all the changes that are seemingly constantly being brought to the attention of webmasters. Whilst it is not cheap, if you have the budget and want to improve your results in the organic search listings of the major search engines, SEO Elite is one tool you should definitely consider.
Even though there are many alternatives out there, a great deal of them are not worth the purchase price and some are, sad to say, a complete waste of time and money. With SEO Elite you know that you are getting a regularly updated and powerful SEO optimization tool with reliable help and support. The features are comprehensive and we have posted three videos below so that you can see the sort of thing SEO Elite can help you with.
This only really scratches the surface but gives you a good idea of the interface and how quickly the software can help you with the detailed tasks involved in optimizing your website. To achieve manually what SEO Elite can provide in terms of research and suggested improvements would patently take a totally unrealistic amount of time.

You can find out more about SEO Elite or buy the software at the company’s website www.seoelite.com
If you are seriously considering working on your own on site optimization a tool like SEO Elite will do most of the heavy lifting for you and when used correctly will certainly see your sites improve in the SERPS.
The company also produces the excellent Keyword Elite and Affiliate Elite products and have established themselves as a trusted source of reliable and effective tools for webmasters, marketers and affiliates alike.
We hope you found the videos a useful insight into at least some of the the workings of SEO Elite.

SEO “Experts” Are Full Of It – SEO is Easy
Written by caymanhost on September 20, 2008 – 9:41 amSEO isn’t nearly as hard as it’s made out to be. A good majority of the so-called “SEO Experts” are out to get your money. They run services, so they want you to believe SEO is some kind of a science.
In the past several years, I’ve been creating and marketing Websites. For the longest time I believed all the hype of mumbo-jumbo that’s constantly floating around out there about how you need to study search engines and stay on top of them 24/7 if you want to see good rankings.
During that time I continued to do all of the basic things we know we should be doing in order to rank well:
- Work on a lot of quality incoming links.
- Research your keywords and target relevant keywords
- Compose a good META title and description
I worked on those few things as well as a few other basic SEO techniques and over time I found myself competing for the first page of google for some very competitive keywords!
I’m not talking about baby keywords either. I’m talking about those like “make money online,” “article directory” etc.
The fact is; there are loads of myths involved in the education of SEO online. Many of these myths come from those who are looking for customers for their SEO consulting firms and services.
It wasn’t until I stopped worrying about the latest search engine changes etc. that I started to see some extremely impressive results.
If you’ve been running a Website for a few months and you think SEO is hard, think again! Just learn the basics because that’s really all it takes.
Do your basic on-page optimization and build a lot of quality links! The rest will fall into place naturally and you won’t be paying ungodly rates to “SEO consultants” who nine times out of ten don’t know what they’re doing anyway!
To see the exact SEO Strategy that I use to conquer loads of extremely competitive search terms, visit http://www.theeasyseoreport.com/ where I offer the best SEO Report on the market FREE of Charge!

Ethical SEO Tactics
Written by caymanhost on January 31, 2008 – 6:07 pmThe massive and rapid growth of the internet, along with its inevitable commercialization, has seen the term SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, gain a place in the popular language of the early 21st century. The increasing need for businesses and website owners to drive visitors to their little corner of the web has resulted in the creation of an industry, focused on helping them do just that.
Unfortunately, the pressure to perform and the financial rewards for doing so, was bound to bring forth the shadier side of some people, and, fairly or unfairly, the world of SEO has often been tarred with the fallout caused by some of the sharp practices that have been employed. Depending on your point of view, this is either an inevitable result of intense competition, or nothing but a damaging trend that does little but taint the overall understanding of SEO and the impression it makes upon the internet community at large.
There are of course plenty of practitioners of ‘ethical’ SEO techniques and conversely, there are plenty of others who take the approach that the end always justifies the means.
If you are unfamiliar with the concept of SEO, and the majority of people probably still are, what do you need to know and how do you ensure that either you, or your SEO advisers, stay within the bounds of acceptable and ‘ethical’ methods? There are some simple guidelines that will help you to achieve better rankings without stepping into the murkier side of SEO, and which will hopefully help you to avoid the cowboys whose only real concern is to relieve you of your money.
The whole point of looking at SEO, is of course to improve your position in the SERPS or search engine results pages, in relation to competing websites. Internet users invariably use a search engine to find information online, and your goal is to try and ensure they find you if you are providing what they are looking for. It is no simple task, particularly if the field in which you operate is very competitive. It is usually webmasters who are struggling to rank well, who are eventually tempted by ‘the dark side’ in an attempt to raise their profile. As search engine technology has has improved however, many shady tactics from the past have ceased to be effective and usually end up being more harmful than helpful.
So, where do you begin with a clean SEO campaign? If you are not intending to try and optimize your pages yourself and prefer to use a third party to do the work for you, it is always wise to try and find out a little about them first. Look for testimonials and word of mouth recommendations if you can. Beware of big promises – it has to be said that at the pace things move with the major search engines such as google, nobody can really guarantee anything and many will tell you that SEO is as much an art as it is a science. Grandiose promises of a guaranteed number one spot on google are often little more than hot air, or trickery – what search term are you being promised the top spot for?
It’s not difficult to get a top ranking for something so obscure that virtually nobody is going to search for it after all – the simple fact that so few people are ever likely to type in a search query makes it all but useless, so don’t be fooled by slick talking sharks.
You need to decide what search terms you wish to do well with and this in itself is an uphill task if you’re new to the game. There is plenty of advice and tips available online to help you with keyword research so this will be your starting point. If you are using the services of someone else to help with your SEO strategy, it is of course vital that you are both on the same page on this matter.
The techniques employed in SEO and the opinions on which are effective would probably fill a complete series of books so we’re not going to cover them in any great detail in this short article, but a few pointers should help you to start on the right path.
Websites are, first and foremost, for human visitors. You should never lose sight of this while you are delving into the finer points of SEO.
Make sure that your content is relevant, well written, and regularly updated. You need to make your visitor’s experience a pleasant one. Poorly written and poorly organized pages will not encourage people to stay, or to return, so quality is vitally important. It is therefore pointless to exaggerate or manipulate the content of your site purely for SEO purposes. Attempting to mislead, will basically achieve little. Improving your rankings by distorting the actual content of your site may result in a short term improvement in the SERPS, but disappointed humans won’t stick around for long! Ethical SEO practitioners do not encourage such tactics – they are effectively self destructive, nothing more.
When people talk about “black hat SEO” (referring to the practitioners of trickery and deceit to garner search engine rankings) don’t be fooled by the catchy title. Black Hat tactics cannot be dismissed as useless, because in the past, some of the ideas have been extremely effective, but things move rapidly and a lot of so called “black hatters” are still trying to use techniques that have long since been recognized by the likes of google and therefore rendered ineffective. Even if you are tempted by a black hat shortcut, if you don’t know much about SEO, the chances are you will find yourself in trouble with the search engines and possibly excluded from their results entirely. It’s simply not worth it for most business owners and webmasters.
Ethical and clean SEO is really the only way to go – it may not get you a spectacular overnight result, but if your long term goals are to be fulfilled it is still the wisest course of action. The advocates of Black Hat techniques will of course laugh at the whole concept of ‘ethics’ in relation to SEO and claim theirs is the only path to success. Maybe they are right in some cases, until they are caught or snitched on by other webmasters for using underhand methods – that’s fine if it is their own site(s) that are ostracized by google and other major engines, but do you really want your painstakingly built pages to suffer the same fate?
I guess you could safely say; “It’s not big and it’s not clever”. Play by the rules and if your site is good and sensibly optimized it will do well enough in time.
If you wish to learn more about SEO there are plenty of blogs and experts in the field who publish up to date and detailed information. A quick search will return plenty of results on what is a very complex subject, but now, at least, you will be a little more aware of how to go about optimizing your sites correctly and not run into any nasty surprises along the way.

Free Keyword Research Tools From SEO Book
Written by caymanhost on September 4, 2007 – 10:13 pmA short while ago over at the Cayman Host Blog I talked a little about keyword research tools and keyword spy software. This post is just to bring to your attention a couple of tools that were not available at the time of writing.
The beauty of these is that if you are a webmaster you can use them yourself and also display them on your website or blog for the convenience of your readers. The first is the Keyword Research Tool and the second a Link Analysis Tool, and we have shown both of them below so that you can see just how they will look if you decide to add them to your site.
Thanks are due to both Andy Beard for his recent post highlighting these new tools and explaining how to display them on your chosen sites and to the author, Aaron at SEO Book for making them available. They have a lot more free SEO tools for your use, so pay them a visit too and enjoy.

Free Sitemaps For Google Yahoo and MSN
Written by caymanhost on August 7, 2007 – 11:13 amThis brief article outlines the importance of using robots.txt files and good sitemaps to help search engines index your website or blog properly.
Having built your website you are probably waiting for that flood of visitors to start arriving but this won’t happen overnight. There is a great deal you can do to improve your chances of good search engine rankings but the whole field of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) can be very complicated and is rarely an exact science. The information is out there if you are prepared to do your research but for many people, time is the biggest limiting factor when it comes to SEO and there is a lot of information to wade through.
There are however a couple of very simple steps that anyone can take to help the Search engines find and index your site correctly. Both will take only a couple of minutes to implement and will repay you well if you take the trouble to complete them.
Firstly, you should ensure that you have a robots.txt file in the root of your domain (the place where your site’s homepage resides) and that it is valid and functioning correctly. The simplest way to do this is to go to one of the many online robots.txt generator and validator sites, where all you will have to do is type in your website address and a couple of options and they will generate the appropriate file for you. We recommend Yellowpipe Robots.txt Generator which will also enable you to choose to banish the robots you don’t want visiting your site, such as known email harvesting bots. There are plenty of other online services available if you search for them. This method ensures an error free robots.txt file which you can then upload to your server. It’s that simple and the search engine spiders will then be aware of exactly where to visit on your site.
The next task on your list is to set up sitemaps, which have become steadily more important in recent times. You may well already have a google sitemap on your site and if you do, it will probably be called sitemap.xml. Sitemaps also reside in the root of your domain and make it much easier for engines to find and index your content.
There are plenty of ways to set up a google sitemap and it’s probably the most important one, but it won’t hurt you to have more sitemaps either. The easiest way for you to do this is to use the excellent services at AutoMapIt Automatic Sitemap Service who will not only create six sitemaps automatically for you, but upload them to your server too if you wish. If you prefer to upload the files yourself, you can do so. This is a free service, although you can upgrade at very reasonable cost and benefit from some even more valuable services. Setting up the free sitemap generation is simple and quick and will give you a far greater chance of being fully and properly indexed. Certainly worth a few minutes of your time.
As we said at the outset, these are very basic SEO steps, but nonetheless a good starting point for any webmaster.

The Best Wordpress Plugins
Written by caymanhost on July 28, 2007 – 3:07 pmAdvertisement – Buy Wordpress Cloner Here
All Wordpress users are aware that there is a veritable gaggle of plugins available to enhance your Wordpress blogging experience. I decided that I’d publish the ones currently in use on this blog, along with links to the dedicated authors of Wordpress plugins everywhere who make so much available to the community for free. If you find one you like, say thank you to the person who made it, and, if you can and they accept donations, help them out.
Of course, these are not necessarily THE best WP plugins, just the ones we use and think are great. I’m sure you all have your own favorites and if you think there is one we just shouldn’t be without, do please tell us.

Site Build It Review
Written by caymanhost on July 23, 2007 – 5:30 pmBefore launching into this review it should be pointed out that Site Build It (or SBI ) and SiteSell.com , do not conform to the conventional notion of web hosting as most of the companies represented on these pages. Their services are aimed fairly and squarely at small business and internet marketers and indeed anyone looking to build quality static websites with the minimum of fuss and the maximum return on investment. But are they any good?
A lot of that depends on who you ask, and it is one of those companies that people tend to get very vocal about.
Site Build It and their web hosting company SiteSell.com are another Canadian company, the brainchild of CEO Ken Evoy, who have been in business since 1997 and in a nutshell, have grown their business by helping a great number of people turn their own ideas into very successful online businesses. The whole philosophy of Site Build It is really to enable people to get an online business set up as quickly and painlessly as possible without the need to know too much about all the technical barriers and “under the hood” workings of their sites and web hosting. So goes the pitch to potential new customers.
On the face of it, this makes them a very attractive proposition for those who want to concentrate on developing content rich sites but don’t want the distractions of having to learn too much about hosting, web design, marketing and promotion. As we pointed out in our opening paragraph, this is not your normal hosting review. So, let’s look at what this means for the end user in a little more detail.
SiteBuildIt is a controlled environment and this is a very important distinction. Unlike traditional hosting, you cannot upload anything you like to a server because you are working within a controlled FTP environment. There is no access to things like cgi-bin and php files, simply the facility to upload specific file types to certain folders designated for the purpose. Basically the SBI system handles all of the hosting aspects for you and also takes care of things like submissions to search engines and ongoing SEO. The company’s proud claim is that their methods and systems will ensure success and traffic and there are plenty of testimonials to support their claims. Mind you, their affiliate program pays well, so it is wise to be careful about believing everything you read.
With all the advances in technology and software in more recent years, it has to be said that what SBI does is not as relevant as it probably was back in 1997, and here is where you need to be sure what you want to do with your website and business building efforts before committing to any plan of action.
Another word of caution – in terms of pricing, it does look like a very costly option for a beginner and you can certainly get your own site up and running for a lot less money.
Web hosting design and marketing made simple – Purists may well feel that SBI and SiteSell are therefore not for serious webmasters but this is strongly refuted in the company’s comprehensive onsite presentations. Do they have a point? Some of their customers have produced some top percentile websites (at least based based on Alexa traffic rankings which are not necessarily the best indication). The website presentation is detailed and if you have time to watch their 30 minute video it gives you a good idea of what the systems can do, and indeed why so many people are attracted to the company. If you have no marketing or technical experience, which let’s face it, accounts for a large number of people, you would probably find SBI and SiteSell an attractive place to start as a fledgling website owner. This does not automatically make it so however, it just means that the marketing is effective.
It is important to point out that despite the controlled hosting environment Site Build It is not a generic template type deal, very far from it. You choose your own domain name(s) just as you would with any other hosting service, and build your sites around them. You are the webmaster in control of the websites you build. You don’t need to know any HTML as their site building software does everything, but, if you are familiar with web authoring you can freely design/edit your own pages via any HTML editor and Photoshop. You will have the ability to blog, you will have RSS capability and E-Zine and Newsletter facilities and most of the tools you would normally expect to be using in building an online presence. You will also find things such as automated keyword research, autoresponders, mailing lists, link exchange tools and comprehensive traffic and stats reporting. The attraction for a beginner is probably in the claimed automation of many of the hard tasks associated with marketing and promoting a site, In short, if you have a great idea but are intimidated by technology could this company be the answer to your problems? Even if you already have some website building experience but have had little success, you are also in the company’s target market.
Well, be wary of anyone claiming automation of work – the reality is usually not quite the same. It has been said by several detractors in recent times that many of the tools and techniques used by SBI are now out of date and innefective. I cannot comment on that with any degree of expertise as I have never used the service.
In terms of cost, SBI is actually more expensive than a good quality shared hosting program, (in fact it equates to about a dollar per day) and on the face of it you seem to be getting a lot for your money. Their claim is that they are more than just a hosting company and is probably the closest thing you will find to a “business in a box”. You bring the idea and SBI enables you to convert that idea into an online business. This approach has worked for some people, as to whether it is for you why not take a look at the company’s presentations to help you decide. All we would say is that you should not be swayed by claims of huge successes and little work – the reality of running an online money making site is much different and it takes work and knowledge, however you approach the site building aspect.
As a hosting company we could find very few complaints about reliability, nor customer and technical support although to be fair, we are not reviewing your regular host as we have made clear already. Users have access to a forum area as well as normal company support via telephone and email. Ultimately, if you have been trying to decide on a hosting plan and have read this review, it may well change your thinking a little. There is no doubt that SBI and SiteSell , cannot be considered a guarantee of success, it may appeal to those who want to get a website off the ground with a minimum of fuss if they are not worried about costs.
In conclusion, if you want reliable hosting but also like the idea of a lot of automation of “the geek stuff” SBI might be worth investigating further. As with all things, there are some limitations which will make the company a non starter for a many webmasters and it is certainly not a cheap route to go down. They ARE different but if you are just starting out in the online world or are frustrated by a lack of success, SBI do not represent a magic path to riches.
Our recommendation is that you study their system with a cool head and try to remain detached from the hard sell before deciding if it is for you, bearing in mind the annual cost in relation to buying a regular hosting account and building your own site yourself. Nowadays, even the non technical can easily install Wordpress on a server and have a blog up and running quickly, so the days when SBI offered more than the competition are probably behind us.

Written by caymanhost on June 26, 2007 – 1:29 am
Search engine optimization is one of the best tools that most Web business owners can utilize in order to be able to make the most out of their business online. Unfortunately, not a lot of website or Web business owners know enough about SEO and what it can do to help them and their business.If they are able to utilize SEO properly, then they will be able to increase their website traffic, and at the same time improve their sales, giving website owners the advantage over their competition online. Since not all of these Web business owners possess the knowledge of what search engine optimization is all about, and its possible benefits to their online business, they sometimes commit a few mistakes in their attempts to utilize such a program for their advantage.
One of the mistakes that Web business owners often commit is that they spend too much time on the design of their website, and not enough time on the content. Keep in mind that the content of your website is more important than the design, which is why people who invest too much money on site designs primarily instead of focusing on its content will only end up wasting it since this will only bring in a few people to visit their website. Instead, try to invest in copywriting initially, and only spend money on the site design later on.
Web business owners sometimes forget the importance of great content, and how they should create fresh content. Doing so will greatly benefit their online business since search engines will reward websites that offer fresh content to their visitors, regardless of its format. Some Web business owners tend to overlook this aspect, and they do not implement this in their websites, causing their website to not generate the desired amount of traffic. However, online business owners should not do this if they are only aiming to improve their search engine ranking. One way that they can improve their SEO ranking is by posting blogs or forums that its visitors can use and interact with other users, making them come back for more later on, thereby increasing the generated traffic. This is only possible, however, if the owners add a blog that contains something that can interest their site’s visitors.
This is where our third mistake comes in. There are some Web business owners who do not bother to offer something unique, especially in their site’s content. If you are able to properly optimize your site by offering something unique and interesting to your targeted market, then your site can greatly benefit from the improvement in search engine results since people will be linking to your site through different mediums such as blogs and forums, creating more inbound links later on.
Another mistake that online business owners commit is their use of inappropriate keyword phrases. It is important to remember that in order to be able to optimize the search engine result of your website, you need to make sure that you pick the appropriate keyword phrases, especially if you are only a small or mid-sized company. You should use the keywords that your potential customers may use in their search in the Web, and such keywords should be used in specific areas of your webpage.
Lastly, Web business owners sometimes do not label their links and images descriptively, making it very difficult for their visitors to know what they are being directed to. Being descriptive as possible not only helps visitors, but it can also help online businesses, especially those trying to market a particular product since Web business owners can use their main keywords and phrases in their link and image labeling, making it easier for them to direct potential customers to their site.

Search Engine Visibility – Fundamental Site Optimization
Written by caymanhost on June 26, 2007 – 1:20 am
Search engine optimisation (SEO) has become big business due to the increased technical expertise required to properly carry out and deliver real measurable improvements. With constant movement of the goalposts it’s testing for even the best SEO experts to stay up to speed. There are however several basic level points we can all keep in mind should the cost of hiring professionals be unrealistic.Analyzing your website has to be a good starting point. Web logs and other forms of statistical information can give early indication where errors may exist within your website. Determining where search bots are struggling will allow you to focus on fixing errors which might otherwise nullify other SEO efforts. Googlebot activity for instance, is well worth spending time to understand. Reports will indicate if pages are running slow and as such perhaps search engines are abandoning the site. If search engines are struggling then its safe to assume regular visitors will also be experiencing slow loading of pages and possibly leaving prematurely.
Sitemaps are another fairly easy way to make it obvious where all your pages are. Combined with the use of robots.txt you can let search engines also learn what’s best left un-indexed. Sitemaps are often presented as a summary page (or pages) within the site displaying links to everything that’s worthy of listing. google also offers a means to upload XML formatted files whereby you can push the list at google instead of waiting for the next scheduled visit.
It’s always worth considering how your site actually appears to search engines. To give you something of a feel for how well your pages perform it’s perhaps worth setting yourself up with Mozilla Firefox (if you haven’t already) as this nifty little browser allows you to easily turn off both images and JavaScript. If you find your pages are pretty messed up (as is sometimes the case) it may be that you should consider a design that has a better textual structure with less dependency upon graphics and JavaScript. While it’s not the greatest sin in web design, overuse of graphics as a means of navigation can prove deadly for search engines and full site indexing. As a minimum, a text only set of links mirroring your main structure can be nestled at the bottom of the page. This will at least give search engines something to work with. A good alternative is to use CSS as a method to retain a classy design while also offering linking text. Where images are used it’s always a good idea to remember to use ALT tags. As search engines effectively ignore images, so the ALT tag offers a little bit of something they can latch onto.
Flash animation is another area similar to graphics that offers nothing to search engines. To the user however, they can be massively attractive and provide an area from where a stream of information can be delivered. The best is to use flash in moderation, striking a balance between engaging the user while satisfying the engines. Just like graphical navigation anything important communicated to the user through flash should perhaps be subtly repeated in the regular text somewhere.
It’s often said but nevertheless it’s amazing how many people still ignore the basic meta tags. There’s plenty of information around which will help anyone get a quick understanding of how best to fill out the title, description and keyword meta tags. While meta tags are important they are only a minor aspect of any one page. It’s imperative that meta tags properly mirror the content of a page but of greater importance is that the content has an array of words and phrases that are relevant to the niche in which you are trying to compete. Don’t go searching google for words you think you should be listed under if your pages doesn’t have them within the content.
