Google Experts
Cyber Crime Explained in Plain English
By Peter Yexley
Website Marketing Experts come and go; I've been
marketing and promoting websites since 1994. Throughout
the years I've seen many changes. Can you imagine
the worldwide web without Google? When I started,
there was no Google - now, Google experts are all
over the net! There was no broadband, just dial-up
telephone connections and you couldn't be on the phone
as well as on the internet - one or the other, unless
you had a dedicated line. Images were so slow to load
that people were reluctant to include them
Our Prime Minister of the day told us all that if
businesses don't get a website, they will die...and
many got websites but couldn't see the benefit or
increase in sales. The fundamental issue was that
Cyber Space was beginning to fill with websites but
there was no order in many senses of the word and
no popular way of finding a website.
The problem was identified and 'The Search Engine'
was born. Google was still to be created and 'navigators'
were the new kids on the block being given names of
ancient explorers and acronyms of geek speak.
In short, we had a navigator (Now Internet Explorer
or Mozilla Firefox) to which we typed the URL (website
address) and a search engine to crawl around Cyber
Space to find whatever you were looking for. That
was the theory anyway!
The biggest problem was getting found ....it was
much easier in the 90's! So-called search engine experts
popped up all over the place and then Google experts
began to emerge but instead of gaining an understanding
of how Google works; many practiced ways to manipulate
Google and developed extremely unethical website marketing
methods.
Search Engineers became part of a whole new industry
relating to website marketing and the term 'Search
Engine Optimisation' was formed.
SEO consultants, Website Marketing Experts, Internet
Gurus, Google Experts, Search Engine Optimisation
Professionals, the list goes on. Then to add to all
these titles someone coined the terms 'black hat'
and 'white hat' as descriptions for the goodies and
baddies. White Hat website marketing experts tend
to practice ethical internet marketing whilst Black
Hat website marketing experts lean towards unethical
website marketing. Within this website, we will guide
you through the maze of website marketing and internet
promotions.
The common goal is to achieve a top ranking in Google,
Yahoo and Bing etc. The methods used are debatable
- unethical maverick type marketing looks good on
the face of it but success is short term and damage
is very expensive. You might like the bad guys on
the frontier, believe me, they won't help to promote
and market your website with long term goals.
Instant website marketing magic is a myth, with billions
of websites in a line waiting to be added to search
engines before yours, it cannot be quick. Choose ethical
internet marketing strategies for longer lasting results
that will help you achieve high search engine rankings
and quality website traffic.
