The speaker will be Michael L Wells and a guest speaker (to be announced).  Michael will be covering the aspects of SEO and how Web 2.0 technologies and techniques can accelerate your website.  Furthermore he will cover the topics of the famous WordPress based Blogging Platform in CMS situations and how users of this platform can better publish content in a manner that gets them instant and strong search engine rankings.

Our guest speaker will be speaking about Google’s Methods, the web-trust policies Google deploys in their data indexes, and how to avoid being black listed or grey listed.

The conference will take place in Skype channel GoldsboroWD.  The channel will be set to mod-only until the end where we will have a questions and answer segment.  Recording of the conference will be strictly prohibited.

Google and many other search engines do their jobs very well — indexing information and determining what parts of your website are meat and which are okra.  But it simply doesn’t help when there are is more styling code then content and can make some of the less popular indexing services give up trying to sift through your code for real content. Today, with all the web competition out there, it is more important than ever to ensure your provider and designers are stay on top of the latest technologies.  And we’re not selfish, we’ll teach your provider how!  Just tell them to contact us.

This launch was not about putting the hyper-drive on the internet but instead to show the users how to better refine their search queries so they can see every letter grouped with another is another query. Through this, Google aims to influence the way we make our search queries.

As the conspiracy theorists argue this is only another venue where Google is taking over planetary data, Google still has the great defense: it speeds up your life.

How it Works

When you type in a regular search engine page, all the letters you are typing remains unknown to the search engine’s servers until you click the “Search” button.  Google has changed this by giving you letter-by-letter real-time results in a data stream using JQuery and AJax to deliver the results instantly to your screen.  As you type “apples”, the A would give you a list of results, pp, would give you apps and application type results until you get down to the l in which you start to see the word you were looking for.  This works much like multi-word queries (phrases) and multi-query searches works by delivering the real-time results as you type.  Though this does help you better understand the query process; it also has the best benefit of all; its instant.

Well before we get the incoming storm of questions, this new technology in no way interferes with search engine ranking; though it may somewhat effect those with multi word queries though without studies, we’re still uncertain to what impact this will have.

The privacy policy we will be adding will be GNU licensed so it will be a free update for all clients across the network.  However if a client should choose for us to create a custom policy for the needs of their website, we will be charging a standard “up-to-compliance” fee of $150.00 per site.  This fee is discounted to those that have the support plan and should want the policy customized to $50.00 per site (this is to cover our costs in getting our attorney to check and verify the legality of the document).  For most clients, the standard free update will be fine if you already have been operating your site without a privacy policy.

Two years ago, our client hired a SEO and internet marketing team from Seattle, Washington.  This firm guaranteed traffic to our client’s website and also stated that their website would eventually show as a top ranking website on the search engines.  Right off, our client stated that within a few weeks they got the traffic promised, but nearly as soon as their paid the invoice the traffic “shut off”.

This SEO and internet marketing company did not use optimized HTML and key-word placement, instead they used what we refer to as web-spam in order to place as many links to their website as possible.  How a company accomplishes this feat is nothing short of immoral and unethical.  These types of companies task “bots” to run rampart on the web with harvested websites of blogs, forums, and other “data posting” websites for public use and spams these sites repeatably until the site gives up deleting their spam or until the site disappears from the net entirely.  You can see these types of spammers as an example on our community blogging website at www.vraul.com.   Webmasters spend hundreds of dollars per week just keeping this spam out of their websites.  But some argue, “whats so bad about website spam?”.

Website spam leads to flooding of a website.  Once one bot hits the site, other bots, when crawling that website can also detect if other bots were successful at signing up and posting their filth.  Eventually the site is overrun by spam, the databases quickly filling up and the bandwidth of the server over-loaded.  In short, spam causes webmasters of great sites to give up, close their site, and causes undue work and strain on internet servers.

But we can’t get ahead of our selves here.  Not only is this type of “link inflation” immoral and unethical, search engines aren’t stupid and when they catch on; your site gets banned permanently from those search engines.  See this article (A webmaster complaining that his site was banned).

Don’t be fooled — SEO has never or will it ever involve “links” to your website!  Any company that tells you that they will get you “link-backs” are going to get your site banned, though temporarily increasing your traffic, you will NEVER AGAIN be able to get this traffic back.

After analyzing what this company had done with our client’s website and after talking to a few liaisons for Google, Inc, we came to the conclusion that the only way to restore our client’s website’s traffic was to completely purchase a new domain with very different content and design.

In short, our client’s choice in this company uncured more than $8,000 to completely reinstate their online identity because of one company’s “short-cuts”.  Always ensure that you investigate the company you’re looking for in SEO because its not just WEB SPAM they may involve you in, it may be regular spam as well and many organizations like WOT will near-instantly block your website from many browsers that use their security plugins.

Our methodology for SEO is simple.  Built a great website, ensuring that the code is compliant from the ground up, place the content in one-click’s reach, and inform the search engines the site is there; through this tried and true method, sites nearly always make top search engine rankings, permanently!

When I began my forum it was only supposed to be small. Meant for a clan I was leading in a web game to communicate better. A public side to it grew quickly tho and I started to see potential in it. I started looking for different ways to increase traffic to it.

One day I ran across a site called VRAUL. It was brand new at the time and I signed up for it. I began talking to the administrator of it Michael Wells(of MLW & Associates) and he suggested I start a blog. He helped me get it set up and helped me tweak the theme to match closer to my forum. Once I made my first post he showed me just how fast the information hit the search engines.

I do not know exactly how much of my traffic I owe to him and the blog he helped me with.However I do know it is significantly more than I would have had I not ran across VRAUL and met Michael.

Thanks to him, VRAUL and MLW & Associates(which owns VRAUL) I learned a great deal about some of the newer techniques to get my site “out there”. So I write this testimonial for my thanks to him and his company MLW & Associates.

Michael, I would like to thank you for all the time, support and much needed information you gave me during the course of my site development. Given this was my first website, I am delighted I put my business your way as I don’t believe I would’ve met anyone else that showed such patience towards me, given my limited knowledge in IT and websites.

Initially I was apprehensive about placing my business with an American Company given the time difference, but I can honestly say Michael works 24/7 and is always on hand, even though I’m based in Ireland. His quick responses to my never ending queries puts my mind totally at ease. He guided me through every step of the site development with ease and professionalism, with the end product totally to my satisfaction.

When I thought the site was completed, I was amazed and still am at how Michael remains in contact with updates on my site, in relation to upgrading, search engine results (he got me to No1 on Yahoo within a fortnight!) and his continuous work to keep my site at the top of the search engines.

I would have no hesitation recommending Michael and his company to anyone that may be wishing to develop a new website or upgrade/change an existing one. He really is one in a million..

Thanks again Michael..
