To start with, although blatantly redundant in my quest to educate the masses, Search Engine Optimization (or SEO) is just that. Optimization. The actual activity or ‘action’ is called Search Engine Marketing or SEM. As such, Article submission strategies are part of SEM, not SEO. Let’s get that sorted straight away. Enough with the alphabet soup, back to business.

For those whom are not enlightened in the whole ‘Articles for Ranking’ theory, I shall summarize. Part of what gets websites higher rankings on the major search engines is back links. Back links are the number of links pointing back to a particular website. Most modern search engine algorithms, give higher ranking based on the number of back links to a particular site out on the web. A supposed ‘popularity meter’. The theory goes, that if you write articles, submit them to article repositories with footer text and a link to your site, you will magically see hundreds if not thousands of links back to your site. This in turn would raise your SERPs (search engine result position). As I said, a sound theory on paper.

Let us not forget our past, lest we are doomed to repeat it.

Article SEM couldn’t be ‘the latest thing’ if there weren’t others preceding it. Its closest relative would have to be ‘Forum Posting for Text Links’ methods used last year by a great many web marketing pundits. This one was the same idea but just a lot more labor.
Companies would hire people, usually offshore labor, and have them go to high ranking forums/message boards and make posts with the company text link in the signature. Oh yes my friends, they PAY people to go and do this form of marketing/data entry. It’s piece work, paid by number of posts.
What happened to that one? Well search engines caught onto the concept as well and adjusted their algorithms to ’see’ matching text links for the same site or unique ‘Class C’ IP address and treat them as one, not multiple links as intended by those ’savvy’ marketers. Complete waste of money now isn’t it?

The algorithm has similarly changed in regards to reciprocal linking strategies. They have been greatly devalued with recent algorithm updates at the major SEs (search engine). For many years now webmasters and SEO folks have been spending a great deal of time and money obtaining reciprocal links to their sites. Those same recip-links can actually hurt ones positioning now. Many have paid good money to get punished by the new ‘rules’. Worse than a complete waste of money.

Blogs? Naw, spammers got them too. As reported by Andrew Orlowski over at the Register, “Recently, we featured a software tool that can create 100 Blogger weblogs in 24 minutes, called Blog Mass Installer. A subterranean industry of sites providing “private label articles,” or PLAs exists to flesh out “content” for these freshly minted sites. And as a result, legitimate sites are often caught in the cross fire.”

The Sky is falling! The Sky is falling! The Sky is falling!

Now for a little ‘the end is near’ fear mongering. In recent months, in an effort to come to grips with Googles latest algorithm rollout Big Daddy, many in the SEO have been suggesting Google is filling up and can’t deal with the sheer volume of it’s 8 billion plus listings. Some evidence of unhappiness in Gmail land as reported by By Saul Hansell of The New York Times, “Referring to the sheer volume of Web site information, video and e-mail that Google’s servers hold, Schmidt said: “Those machines are full. We have a huge machine crisis.”"

And that’s just the email load.

So while I try to work out the long term value of article writing for SEO, I can’t help but think this practice will have a deleterious effect on the end user, The Web Surfer. With loads high and technology struggling to keep up, an end-run on getting articles of varying degrees on quality probably won’t make things any better. So for the sake of all the web surfers now and in the future I will try to keep my article writing to a minimum. I hope this one helped start some further dialogue.

Search Engine Marketing – SEM is a process or discipline that creates a “comfort zone” environment for website owners and assures them of a rewarding business climate. Other methods are also available as will be briefly discussed in the following paragraphs. Experienced and successful marketers always point out that “marketing” is more of an art and science acquired through perseverance and careful planning principle. It is vitalized by attained knowledge through constant observation and practice. There are several efficient and professional companies that provide great SEM services to the website owners and assure them of a continued high ranking presence on the Internet.

Another way of ensuring success in your marketing venture for any product or service is to contemplate and implement efficient advertising. Advertising has always been the creating gateway to a large and sustained market! Everything that we do in our lives somehow points to some degree of advertising to ensure our success. You can check this proverbial truth many times in your life by analyzing the way things work out when you are diligent and hard working in your assignments. One only needs to think logically and apply one’s assimilated knowledge and power of reasoning to be able to create a good and constructive advertisement.

As mentioned earlier in this article the concept of advertising on the Internet is enhanced by the principle of “Pay per Click Advertising – PPC”. This really means that when you join a particular PPC scheme with any net service provider, you agree to pay for this service by paying a small fee for every click that originates from a visitor. Many surfers believe in reaching a website through such PPC sources since they assume that only such websites are honest and genuine who take part in a PPC plan. The system is quite effective but can be a bit complex in certain cases and good net marketing companies recommend its usage along with other marketing methods. Finally, it is obvious as with other marketing principles that a judicious and balanced combination of marketing methods catalyzed by honest and clear content writing takes you to the pinnacles of success you so ardently desire in your venture.

If you are involved in internet marketing in the last few years you probably have heard of the products, SEM Business Blueprint, Niche Blueprint and Commission Blueprint. All of the products were created by these two guys, Steven Clayton and Tim Godfrey. If you do not know of these guys or their products and are involved or looking to get involved in affiliate marketing or niche marketing then do some research on their products and you will find none better for teaching you how to succeed at this harsh, competitive market place.

When I am looking to improve my knowledge and to build my business further I like to do my due diligence and learn more about the products and also I really like to know who the person is creating the product or products. If a person has a good reputation you can usually correlate that into their products will be also of high quality, as being in business myself I believe firmly in what goes around comes around and with internet marketing the world is very small and not filled with many hiding places.

Now getting back to my main topic here is to tell you some about the authors of those products I listed above.

Steve and Tim are currently running a internet marketing business together and created to my knowledge now three products together. Those products are SEM Business Blueprint, Niche Blueprint and Commission Blueprint. Commission Blueprint first launched in 2008 and I purchased this product in January 2009 from them as a one time fee. After learning more about these two guys and how they started a monthly membership for Commission Blueprint including more tools for successful business building I joined the monthly membership and am still a member enjoying their product immensely. Another product they released this last year is Niche Blueprint. I have not purchased that product but it is about how to build an ecommerce site and get it in the top ten of google and successful fast. There are many many great reviews of this product also, all I can attest too is Steven Clayton and Tim Godfrey are delivering on their products.

The third product they recently release is SEM Business Blueprint, and I now have this one too as it fit my business model perfectly. SEM Business is a business in a box. It is a search engine marketing business with all the tools, websites, promotional material, spreadsheets, presentations & proposals all inside. You can have a business up and running in two days with only a $200 investment. What other business could you start with such little time and money. The opportunity Steven and Tim have opened up to anyone who purchases their products is so huge there is no way to put a dollar value on it.

A little more detail about Steven Clayton and Tim Godfrey

Both were successful before they got together. Prior to founding ‘Worth Overdoing Marketing and Consulting’, Steve was Vice President. This was for a large Corporation doing huge amounts of business in the USA.

Starting his internet marketing business about 36 months ago, he has become very successful using his knowledge of stats etc. from his previous employment.

Tim became successful by building an online internet empire in the gambling niche, and as well sold many other online business niches and also runs a profitable trading business too. He is also the author of a product called profit praxis before Steve and Tim teamed up to do their products together.

Conclusion: Overall I can confidently recommend SEM Business Blueprint & any other of Steven Clayton and Tim Godfrey’s products to you as the best opportunities out there. You will find others but not in the same top level category of these products.
