SIM'S TIP OF THE WEEK

The Naked Truth About Doorway Pages
Ever wonder why the use of "doorway pages" in search engine optimization is getting such a bad rap?
One day, you hear they're the best way to get ranked in the search engines. But the next day, you read that they'll get you banned! Is this criticism valid?
Let's raise the curtain, and expose the truth about doorway pages, and how they can affect your search engine rankings.
The truth is that doorway pages, themselves, are not the problem.
The *development and use* of doorway pages are what make the difference between a site that gets black-balled from the engines and one that's listed at the top of the search results.
Getting your pages accepted by the engines is as simple as making informed decisions... and using means acceptable by the search engines' current preferences.
Here are some simple guidelines you can use to stay on track with your doorway pages.
1) Content is King
The search engines are becoming more sophisticated in their ways of selecting who gets the top spots. And now, more than ever, they look closely at the content or body text of your web pages.
For instance, they use text filters to detect duplicate text, code or META tags. If you steal someone's content, the search engines can block YOUR web page and possibly your entire website. This is done to filter out the repetitive material (and other garbage) from the search results.
Probably the most effective doorway pages are those containing brief articles, or other informative info, relevant to the topic and keyword(s). Articles should be approximately 300-600 words in length and focus on no more than a few related keywords. Attempting to focus one page on too many keywords will dilute your efforts and diminish results.
(This article is a great example of content that could be used to get ranked on the term "doorway pages." It contains 629 words, and the phrase "doorway pages" is used 11 times.)
2) Proper Keyword Use
Search engines have detailed formulas for ranking pages, based on your use of keywords on the page. They consider things like "keyword weight" (the prominence of the keyword, based on the total number of words used) and "keywords frequency" (how often a keyword is repeated).
Here are some tips for proper keyword use.
Use your keyword(s) in:
- the URL of the page
- the beginning and end of your body text
- bold headings (size 14 or 16 font)
- in hyperlinks to other pages
- in the alt tags and names of your graphic images
3) Accurately-Timed Submissions
Again, search engines have different regulations on what you can and cannot do. You don't want to submit too often, but. frequently enough to maximize results. Once or twice a month should be sufficient for most engines.
As long as you strategically deliver valuable content, and promote within acceptable means, doorway pages (or whatever you want to call them) are still the leader in helping you achieve top search engine placement.
Of course, knowing how each of the major engines operate is an important part of speeding up results. And there are many more advantageous details than I can share in this article. Achieving search engine prominence (and dominance) can be an exhaustive effort. To do it yourself is only recommended for technically driven people -- or those with some spare time to work the process.
So whether you hire a team of professionals or you do it yourself, be sure that your doorway pages are produced according to the latest "unwritten" rules of search engine placement.

FEEDBACK & CONTRIBUTIONS
------------------------------
If you could sit down with several millionaires and talk to them for 45 minutes, what would you ask them? Would you ask how they made their millions? That would get you a history lesson, but not much else. How about questions that reveal how they think so you could learn to think more like a millionaire?
That's what Mike Litman does. He's the host of the World's #1 Personal Development Radio Show, the Mike Litman show, and he is an excellent interviewer. Mike is a young go-getter who doesn't take no for an answer. And he's not afraid to ask the biggest and the richest the kind of questions we'd all like to, but never get the chance to.
Here's some of the millionaires that Mike's interviewed:
- Chicken Soup for the Soul authors, Mark Victor Hansen
and Jack Canfield, who've sold over 65 million books!
- Rich Dad, Poor Dad co-author, Sharon Lechter
- Robert Allen, author of three Best-Selling success books
- 1-800-FLOWERS, CEO Jim McCann
- Michael Gerber, Small Business Expert and author of the best-selling book, The E-Myth
- Wally "Famous" Amos (have you eaten his cookies?)
- and one of my biggest favorites, Jim Rohn.
Mike has taken his interviews with these famous millionaire makers and created a new eBook called, "Conversations with Millionaires." http://startupinternetmarketing.com/cwm
Just one of these interviews would make an outstanding eBook. But Mike includes ALL SEVEN in this eBook. And it's the actual, live word-for-word interviews.
In each interview you'll read the actual tips and tactics that made these people flat-out rich. All combined, these secrets have made them over a BILLION dollars.
Robert Allen, the NY Times best-selling author, is one of the millionaires interviewed and here's what he says about Conversations with Millionaires...
"In these days of the Internet, information is everywhere. Getting information is easy. Though getting great information is tough and often very challenging. In "Conversations with Millionaires," you'll get life changing information from some of the most successful entrepreneurs in America today. All in one book, all at one time. This is a book I wish I had 20 years ago when I started on my own journey to become a millionaire."Mike's eBook is one of the best bargains on the web today, but he's also thrown in some incredible bonuses and I would encourage you to take the time to learn more about his offer. One of these interviews might have the answer you've needed to move to the next level in the financial part of your life. Go here to learn more: http://startupinternetmarketing.com/cwm
