Today I am going to introduce you to the club called Google and the concept of the pretty girl. This article is an excerpt from my report which you can have free by joining our mailing list. How many of us in our youth joined the cues at clubs and watched the “beautiful people” bypass the queue and walk straight in. Now we know that anyone can get into the club, its just the wait that differs. I heard the argument last week that anyone can join Google. Just go to the submit page button and you will get spidered. I don’t know why but it seems Google isn’t keen on you buying your own ticket. You get added to the queue but spidering may happen, well, whenever.
Some sites are pretty girls, Google loves them and the queue gets shorter. Finding these sites is not always easy. Becoming friendly with these pretty girls is not always easy either. We here at traffic department know some of these pretty girls and can introduce you. I hear you ask, Is that all? Sadly no! The introduction is good but you still need to prove your worth. In previous articles I have talked about quality content, I have talked about Spam and why this won’t work.
Search engine optimisation or as the Americans spell it optimization is the big thing. People are out there selling their services for thousands of dollars, pounds, rands and more. I will tell you that the money spent may not be the best investment you make.
Using the power of the internet is. Search Engine Optimisation helps get hits, but good quality content can do more. Are you a half full or half empty type person. Watch this video and tell me.
Education needs boosting. People need to be taught that the world is bigger than their home state or backyard. Its sad but true that most people don’t have a clue because they are under informed. If your content does not add value it becomes as valuable as this answer from Miss South Carolina. Seriously I knew America had a problem when they voted for Bush but seeing this I reckon Mr Bush may be upgraded from moron to idiot.
Defining quality content is rather simple. Quality content adds value and is interesting. If I were interested in your subject and arrived at your site. Would I leave happier and satisfied that I had what I needed?
Example: NOT Quality Content

This was copied and pasted verbatim from a forum
This is good content. Quality Content is KING
Web design is a process of conceptualization, planning, modeling, and execution of electronic media delivery via Internet in the form of Markup language suitable for interpretation by Web browser and display as Graphical user interface (GUI).
The intent of web design is to create a web site — a collection of electronic files that reside on a web server/servers and present content and interactive features/interfaces to the end user in form of Web pages once requested. Such elements as text, bit-mapped images (GIFs, JPEGs, PNGs), forms can be placed on the page using HTML/XHTML/XML tags. Displaying more complex media (vector graphics, animations, videos, sounds) requires plug-ins such as Flash, QuickTime, Java run-time environment, etc. Plug-ins are also embedded into web page by using HTML/XHTML tags.
Yesterday we talked about backlinks from forums. Today I want to tell you how to get backlinks by blogging. There are many free blogging sites on the web. Today I want to talk to you about Tumblr.com Tumblr is a micro blogging site. You can use Tumblr as a full blog but I would not do that. Tumblr do not like spammers be warned. If they deem you to be a spammer they will delete first and ask questions later.
