Today I want to take a quick look at the differences between search engine optimization an SEO services – because I think that sometimes people seem to think they are the same and interchangeable.

Search Engine Optimization

Search engine optimization is the ‘SEO’ in SEO services. It is the the contributing factors that either help or hinder your ranking in the search engines. SEO is easy or hard based on the SEO services that you take advantage of.

So SEO is the work, such as on page and off page optimization.

SEO Services

So if Search Engine Optimization is the work, then SEO services is the ‘services’ that help you accomplish the work. Search engine optimization and SEO services work hand in hand.

SEO services are the people and the tools that you will use:

Here Are The DIY SEO Tools That I Recommend:

• Market Samurai

  This is the only keyword research tool that you will need. Used by over 117,000 internet marketers to learn more about this software make sure you read this Market Samurai review.

• oDesk

  If you are serious about SEO then you will need to start outsourcing jobs! One of the most tedious tasks in SEO is link building and I personally outsource link building for as little as $1/hr using oDesk.

Using these two tools, you can quickly dominate keywords in any niche – and with my simple outsourcing idea it makes for cheap seo.

So next time you are looking at search engine optimization and seo services make sure you do the required on and off page seo – and take advantage of the best seo services to make things easier.

If you own a blog and are not building an email list -then you are loosing money!

Blogs are great, but the biggest problem is that people forget to return, or sign up via rss reader – but forget to check. An email list allows you into your readers world and means that you can visit them, instead of waiting for them to visit you.

The only problem is that getting people to sign up for your email list is not the easiest thing to do, because signup forms get cluttered by content and advertisements.

Introducing Popup Domination.

Popup Domination is a brand new WordPress plugin that create attractive lightbox popups that are sure to dramatically increase your list conversion. I have it running on a couple of my blogs and have seen great results so far!

You can read my Popup Domination review.

However, I recently tested the plugin on FranchiseBuzz – creating a completely new list for the test and I have already had 5 subscribers in two days(did I mention it only gets 80 visits a day?).

Now if you can use Popup Domination to create a continually growing list then all you need to do is create a profitable email course or product – so that you can start profiting straight away.

Having the right foundation for your blogs search engine optimisation is so important and that is why I always recommend that if you are wanting to start a blog then you should use the free WordPress CMS.

The great thing about WordPress is not that it already has a lot of SEO work already done to it (which it does), but it is the the thousands of plugins and addons that will dramatically improve your blogs SEO. So let’s take a closer look at some of those plugins:

How To SEO Your WordPress Blog | PLUGINS

There are a HEAP of SEO wordpress plugins, but only a small few that I recommend. This is because I only use the best.

So here are the WordPress plugins that I personally use:

SEO Power WordPress Plugin

The SEOPower WordPress plugin has quickly become my all-time favourite WordPress plugin (which seems like a big call, but when you see what it does, I am sure you will agre..

You see, what it does is tell me exactly what people are searching for when they visit my blog, AND what page they land on (and how many other people have done the exact same thing!). This allows me to find those HOT keywords that my keyword research program didn’t show up, so that I can start to work on getting those keywords higher in the SERPS. (oh and did I mention that it tells you what you are ranking in Google for the keyword?)

Check out this updated review I did, of my experience with the plugin and see what you think.
