Why use CrusherNet Local Online Marketing and avoid the Online Yellow Pages Scam?

Yellow Pages Online Directory is a Total Scam, and Here is Why!

I have heard from my clients and potential clients the same theme over and over, that "the Yellow Pages is a scam" and what are they doing charging enormous amounts each month to be on their directory?

The Yellow Pages charges you monthly to be on their "prestigious" online directory.  The trouble is that they are also putting all your local competitors on that same search result in your city or area.  So, in essence you are helping your competition be found as well....Duh!  What's wrong with this picture?  Everything!

I am going to tell a true story here (names have been changed to protect the ripped off)

My good friend and running buddy Juan owns a great local insurance business in South Florida.  He has had if for years and has great clientele.  It is a family run business that has seen success from years of referrals.  He knows that the future lies within the internet and mobile information to drive new clients to him as well.  

That is why, when a convincing salesman from the Yellow pages discussed online marketing within their directory to him, he reluctantly (because of the price-$1000/month) said yes and signed a 1 year contract.  Now, Juan is a sophisticated businessman with years of experience and knowhow, so how could he make such a mistake even after asking the salesman if they could prove results like which keywords were bringing his listing to the first page of Google, and the salesman's answer was...."we can't?" The answer is, lack of education in Online Marketing or (SEO), Search Engine Optimization.  And, all the disinformation and misinformation that "SEO companies blurt out just to get a contract, commission, and a "locked in" customer.

This is bad news because it clouds the minds of hard working, respectable business people just trying to make a living.  They are getting the big SEO Scam and dont even know it until it is too late and they are out a whopping $12,000 a year.  I said "Twelve Thousand Dollars," that is ludicrous!  Especially since these are small businesses that are being taken advantage of.  This sours the minds of the small business owner, and now they don't trust anyone who comes to them selling optimization services.

HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS:

•SEO can be extremely effective if done right and with good intention

•SEO can be very affordable if the right company is chosen

•Small Businesses can compete and even beat out large companies on local search results

•Small businesses can "Crush" their competition online 

•CrusherNet is your answer!

Online Dominance at an affordable price

Who is CrusherNet, and just exactly what do they do?

CrusherNet was launched just months ago with staggering results for small businesses.  It was a 4 year project spun off from a company that did very successful National SEO Campaigns for large companies.

The "Brainchild" of the company was building websites and doing online marketing when Yahoo was the only game in town.  That was over 17 years ago!  Then Google came on the scene with Power and Authority and became THE Search Engine of choice because of their scientific and clever way of serving up really relevant results for searches on the internet.  

By studying Google since its inception, and knowing what Google wants (by the way it wants relevant information and fresh content constantly), CrusherNet has the "Magic Formula" to provide businesses with mind blowing 1st page Google results.  And, the best part is that is is extremely affordable.  As a matter of fact, the packages start at $200/month and don't go beyond $400/month for local domination.

CrusherNet Brings CrusherPower to the Web to Empower Small Business to Compete Online

CRUSH YOUR COMPETITION ONLINE WITH CRUSHERNET!

CrusherNet was fonded by Small Business owners for Small Business owners.  We understand the pressures and nuances of running a business in today's economy.  "All the fat has to be trimmed."  There can be no waste with respect to  employee efforts, customer satisfaction, customer retention, systems and operations.  Most small businesses do not know how, or care to budget properly for their marketing.  Some of the franchise models do teach and guide their operators with respect to advertising and marketing, but other businesses we have come in contact with simply don't know what to do.  And, with respect to their online marketing they are even more lost with all the bogus SEO (search engine optimization) claims out there.
CrusherNet cuts through all the clutter, analyzes the small businesses website, finds out what the owner wants and needs, and rolls out a methodical, cost effective realistic plan toward online local domination.
If the business has an older, outdated website, a very inexpensive Web 3.0 optimized site can be be created and customized in a very short period of time.  Our "Crusher Techs" take care of that with the modern look and feel that is demanded of today's shoppers.  And, with sites that are easy to navigate, convert well, and are built on the most significant search (Google) friendly platform available today.
Mobile sites are also created with form and function.  Most of the businesses we have come in contact with don't even realize that their websites look horrible on a phone or tablet.  And, sometimes if built on a Flash platform don't even show up on an Apple device.  We create customer friendly mobile sites that are not only optimized, but are super easy to navigate, showcase products or services and find and contact the business with a touch of the screen.
CrusherNet offers some of the least expensive websites and mobile websites in the industry that offer the greatest return on investment.  Leverage our CrusherPower to boost your business locally online and not only be found, but to dominate on Google!

2013 The Year In Google....So Far - A Behind the Scenes Look

In the first half of this year, there has been a lot of SEO-related news coming out from Google. Google has pushed out many new algorithms, made many changes to the search result interfaces, penalized many websites and tactics, as well as sent out many warnings about upcoming penalties or actions.

All of this was covered in depth on our sister site, Search Engine Land, but a recap is in order for our Marketing Land readers.

Below, I will summarize the changes in order of Google’s Panda algorithm, Penguin algorithm, and other algorithm updates and launches. I will then discuss some of the manual actions taken and then some of Google’s warnings and statements.

Google Panda Algorithm

Google’s Panda algorithm launched in February 2011 and has since been at the top of the minds of webmasters and SEOs. In the past six months, we learned a lot about Panda. Google recently started to roll out Panda updates over a 10 day period and promised to not give us confirmations of Panda updates going forward. Below are some of the stories we covered in the past six months on this content hungry algorithm.

• Google’s Panda Dance: Matt Cutts Confirms Panda Rolls Out Monthly Over 10 Of 30 Days
• Google Panda Update 25 Seems To Have Hit
• Google: We’re Unlikely To Confirm Current Or Future Panda Updates
• Google: Panda To Be Integrated Into The Search Algorithm (Panda Everflux)
• Google Panda Update Version #24; 1.2% Of Search Queries Impacted
• Official: It’s Google Panda Update 23, Impacting ~1.3% Of Queries

Google Penguin Algorithm

Google’s Penguin algorithm launched in April 2012, and while Panda looked closely at content, Penguin went after links pointing to a page. While Panda’s algorithm impacted a larger percentage of the search results, i.e., 12%, the Penguin update was probably felt more by SEOs, but only impacted about 3% of the search results. We counted four updates to the algorithm since its launch, but in 2013, Google significantly updated the algorithm calling itPenguin version 2.0.

The previous updates happened as such:

• Penguin 1 on April 24, 2012 (impacting ~3.1% of queries)
• Penguin 2 on May 26, 2012 (impacting less than 0.1%)
• Penguin 3 on October 5, 2012 (impacting ~0.3% of queries)
• Penguin 4 on May 22, 2013 (impacting 2.3% of queries)

Other Google Algorithm Updates/Launches

Outside of the big guns, Penguin and Panda, we had many other algorithm and launches from Google in the past six months. From the PayDay loan algorithm, to mobile site speed and domain clustering – Google has been busy working on improving their relevancy and combating spammers. Here are some of the major changes to the algorithm in the past six months.

• Google Payday Loan Algorithm: Google Search Algorithm Update To Target Spammy Queries
• Google: Site Speed Penalty Coming To Mobile Web Sites
• Google Update Underway: But For Payday Or Panda?
• If That Was A Google Update You Felt, Google’s Not Confirming It
• Google’s Matt Cutts: Domain Clustering To Change Again; Fewer Results From Same Domain

Google’s Manual Actions:

Algorithms, such as those mentioned above, impact a wider base of sites, but Google also has an army of search quality analysts that patrol the Web to find sites manipulating their search results and getting by the algorithm. There is a difference between algorithm and manual penalties, and below are some of the manual actions Google has taken or promised to take in the past six months. Some of these impacted huge brands, while others impacted specific industries or techniques.

• Google To Take Action Against Fake Search Results Injected Into Browser History
• After Penalizing Interflora & UK Newspapers, Google Warns Against Advertorials
• Google Zaps Another Link Network, ‘Several Thousand’ Link Sellers Hit
• “Text Link Ads” Was Latest Hit By Google’s Actions Against Link Sellers
• Did Google Just Penalize Another Link Network? SAPE Links
• Link Seller Linking To You? Google Says You Won’t Benefit From It.
• Interflora Gets Its Google Rankings Back, 11 Days After Penalty
• Google Dishes Out PageRank Penalties To UK Newspaper Web Sites For Selling Links

Google SEO Advice & Statements

Google has commonly given advice to the webmaster and SEO community over the years. Some of these come in the form of videos, blog posts and messages conveyed at search conferences. Below is a list of some of the more important tips and words of advice from Google in the past six months.

• Google’s Matt Cutts: Stock Images Do Not Impact Search Engine Rankings
• Links From Press Releases Do Have Ranking Benefit Despite What Google Says
• Google’s Cutts: We Don’t Ban Sites Critical Of Google, But Here Is Why We Do Penalize Sites…
• Google: Guest Blogging For Links? You Better Nofollow Those Links
• Google: PageRank Dilution Through A 301 Redirect Is A Myth
• Google’s Matt Cutts: Holding A Patent Doesn’t Mean We Use That Patent In Search Quality
• Q&A With Google’s Matt Cutts On What To Do If You Get A Manual Penalty

When It Comes To SEO, Its Not What You Do, But How You Do It!

Info taken from Search Engine Watch Blog-Article by Mark jackson.
This is great information that really explains that SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is not as easy as it appears.  There is plenty of information out there telling us what to do to increase our online presence.  The problem is the "How" is even more important! Good SEO companies are still the best way to achieve online dominance.  And, if it is good and affordable the small business wins.  See RankFirstPageLocal.com for more information.

For years (perhaps as long as I've been in this industry), I've read comments all over the web about how "anyone can do SEO" and/or the obligatory "don't waste your money on an SEO expert."

After all, we all "know" what to do to optimize a website, right?

Truth is, there are thousands of resources available that can tell you "what to do to optimize your website", but the other side of that truth is that there are so many varied components (thousands of different ways) to optimizing a web presence and it's not just "what" you do, but "how" you do it that makes all the difference.

Anyone can build a website and "get some links," but a lot of folks simply don't know how to build a good website for users, much less search engines (or both?) or how to go about promoting a website (growing a "good" link profile). And, that's just the beginning.

Let me share a few scenarios with you:

This Isn't How You Do Social Media Marketing

I have a client that I had told, many years ago, that they needed to incorporate a blog into their site and start developing interesting, unique, quality/shareable content, on a consistent basis. This client moved on the idea (after much prodding), and hired an agency two years ago that "specializes" in social media marketing to write posts and manage the social promotion across multiple channels. They "did" what we asked them to do, but they most certainly did not do it "how" we would have liked.

To date (almost two years later) their blog lacks a single comment and just a handful of "shares". Out of the roughly 50 blog posts that they've created to date there are 12 that have gained any links whatsoever, and – of those – the links are coming from six sources (the company's Google+, the company's YouTube profile, the company's Pinterest profile, an aggregator (feedage.com, Ask.com, and Folkd.com).

We have been extremely limited in our ability to work with the social media agency, and thus "social media is in a vacuum". That's not "how" it's supposed to be.

I could write an entire article on the things that we would have liked to have had more influence on, such as the design of the blog portion of their site, the share features, content plans/editorial calendar and how the content is promoted to influencers to gain more traction. Alas, this client is paying a pretty hefty sum for a "specialist" in social media marketing to have little effect on metrics that I would think matter in this realm (engagement/brand building and yes, links).

This Isn't How You Do SEO

Another example is a prospect that I'm currently pitching. They are a national company, with hundreds of locations (franchises) throughout North America.

To date, they have taken a very tactical approach to search engine optimization. When you run through the checklist of things that you "should do", you could say that they're doing "everything that you're supposed to be doing". Problem is, they are just not doing it very well.

Each franchisee is afforded the opportunity to make the most of their sections of the website. They have the ability to create pages, blogs, link to social profiles, etc. They can edit their "main page", and pretty much anything within their sections of the website.

The problem: these franchisees are too busy running their businesses, and probably lack an understanding of "how" things are supposed to be done, so they end up just running through a checklist of things that they should do, and do the bare minimum, and then realize that nothing good is coming from their "efforts" (this has some thinking "SEO doesn't work" and/or "SEO doesn't deliver value").

Many of the locations are using duplicate content to describe their businesses, keyword stuffing areas like H1s, creating blogs on TypePad that do virtually nothing for them, and link out to social properties that they can't/don't maintain (one location even inadvertently linked to their "LinkIn" profile – not LinkedIn, as should have been the case).

There are even examples of "Service" sections for these locations where they are linking to The Team page, News and Events, etc., when then should have their actually services that they provide in this section.

Where's the good content? What's the strategy? Any thoughts on how all of these things are supposed to work together? The answer? "Nope."

This Isn't How You Do URL Rewrites

One client sells products that can run as high as $1.5 million. They are redesigning their website and were considering a complete rewrite of their URLs as part of the process (product pages currently reside directly off of the root). The thinking was "URL structure should mimic the website's structure and follow the same path as the breadcrumb".

In most cases, I would agree. However, when you already have top rankings for these product pages on Google, other top ranking competitors seem to also have the same URL structure and each product sells at a net that represents a very significant sum of money, you have to ask yourself…should I do things "right" or be more pragmatic and avoid (possibly) screwing something up?

When this much money is on the line, you take a prudent approach. Redesign/relaunch the website and consider a rewrite once the dust has settled on the other massive changes that you're making.

This Isn't How You Do Link Building...

I have seen many examples of clients/prospects listing their businesses on Google+ Local, and other Local Listing opportunities who have linked to their company home page (rather than directly to the pages for that specific location), have their address information listed on their Location page (without using Schema) created blogs on unique domains that had no traction to "gain backlinks" to their websites, utilized "link building agencies" that merely build links on websites that they own/control (and have no relevancy to their business, and no authority themselves), redesigned their websites to be more "SEO friendly" (while forgetting to exclude the development website from the search engines to avoid indexation prior to going live, forgetting to redirects URLs or perhaps even remove content that had been a "top performer" prior to the redesign), creating doorways pages, mass duplicating content, etc., etc., etc.

Again, for the novice, it might appear that they're "doing SEO." They are creating content, even if it's duplicated and they are creating links, even though they don't count for much or – worse yet – could be hurting them.

I could go on and on...

Bottom Line

Knowing "what" to do in SEO is not the difficult part. It's knowing how to do it.

Keeping up with the "how" is a constant effort of study, practice, tests, deep analysis and years of experience. In the ever-evolving field of SEO, while there are many more "what to dos", knowing "how" to do them is ultimately what leads to success.
