Organic Search Engine Optimization Tips
By Paul Guzman
Organic traffic will always out perform any type of paid advertising.
There are two big reasons why this is so.
Most casual surfers will see the first page and will click on the top 10 or so sites listed. Most casual surfers have no idea that the side bar is for paid advertising.
Your website or blog listing will always be there. Unless your doing something illegal or managed to get your site banned for whatever reason. The more often they see it there the more they consider your site legitimate.
We all started with organic traffic. Do you remember when you first submitted your website or blog to google, yahoo or DMOZ? Your pages or posts are still there and will be there until...the end of time?
Of course having a permanent listing does not guarantee lots of traffic or even any visitors. This is why most Internet Marketing professionals started to do more organic search engine optimization for all their sites.
Now we can get better results from doing our homework such as keyword research and site optimization.
So we now move up the ladder. The results are better but once again like a wild animal looking for food we start looking for better results.
Enter article writing this method is more organic than any other traffic source out there. You write an article and submit them to the top article directories and viola! You've got a backlink and depending on how good and useful your articles are you get traffic.
No credit card to give out nor any money transferred out of your big fat bank account. The only thing you invested is time and some brain power to shoot out an article.
If you submitted your article to the top professional article directories it will be there today, tomorrow or until the directory ceases to exists. I started writing articles about my gardening site 5 years ago. Many of these articles are still giving me traffic to the site.
Compare this to any PPC, Pay for traffic service or even the latest "Facebook is better than google for paid advertising ebooks" that are over populating my and your email folder!
Once you stop paying for this traffic it stops, it's over no one will see it again. Organic Search Engine Optimization works today, tomorrow and into the future.
This is a big reason why we should always write or develop good valuable content in all our marketing efforts.

Will Bing Ever Rival Google?
By Jerry Pelletier
People all over the world are asking this question: Will Bing rival Google? A lot depends on the inspirations and machinations of the digital wonders at Microsoft and Google. The fact that Microsoft has not yet captured Google's audience has to be pretty frustrating for the head honchos there.
The Beginnings...
It was Microsoft, after all, who dominated the home computer market with the Windows operating system that most people were using way back when they first heard they had mail. But Microsoft's first search engine, MSN Explorer, was not much different than other search engines of its day. MSN results often included worthless spam that frustrated users.
Google entered the market at about the same time as MSN Explorer. It was launched after its founders polished up a few details that stymied spammers, including an algorithmic way of ranking search results. The name, incidentally, was taken from the mathematical term for ten to the hundredth power-a really huge number, by the way-googol.
Google takes over!
People began flocking to Google. They recommended it to their friends. They made it their home page. The word Google entered the common lexicon as people talked about googling information. They even googled themselves. For a long time Google flourished without doing anything more remarkable than just being the best search engine around. And then the higher-ups realized if they wanted to maintain Google's status as the top-ranked search engine, they should work on things besides effective page rank.
Google Powers up!
Google joined the many other search engines offering free email accounts. And then it set its sites on businesses. It designed a series of business applications such as calendars and document formats that a company's employees could share. It also created business advertising opportunities, with Google AdWords and AdSense becoming commonplace advertising terminology among small business owners. It presented maps, managed RSS feeds, and worked to organize the average daily user.
MSN (Bing) Jumps back in!
For a while, Microsoft sat back, watched, and analyzed. Now this giant company has taken itself off the search-engine sidelines and jumped back into the game. While Google once again has rested on its laurels, Microsoft has new ideas to answer the question of just how will Bing rival Google.
Its primary plan is not to chase Google's business users or advertisers-at least not initially. For starters, its search engine was renamed. Microsoft chose Bing because it's a short word that can slouch comfortably into colloquial use. And it is outspending Google, about $80 to Google's $25 million. Most importantly, Microsoft has renovated its search engine.
Consider some of these features: Bing allows users to run the mouse along the right-hand side of the search results to light up a little blue arrow. This, in turn, highlights a thumbnail sample of the website you will go to if you click on that result. Another feature is the ability to view relevant videos on the left-hand side of the search results. If you're still wondering will Bing rival Google, that answer has not yet been ranked.
