I would email this but there seems no way to make the images appear in the email where I want them to, and I need to use images to explain.
I'm putting detailed, step by step instructions on how to improve the search engine rankings of your modeling and go go dancing websites. I told you that I would help you, and I intend to keep that promise.
There is a wide variety of things you can do to improve your visibility. You might think I'm full of crap because I haven't been making much money from Youtube lately, but there are many legit reasons for why that is so, the game basically changed. I need to invent entirely new strategies, which I've been working on.
Anyway, my advice can still help you. You need only do a Google search for my name and compare it to your own to see the difference. My content dominates search results for my name, whereas your content doesn't show up when searching for yours.
"Carey Martell" Google Search results in...
"Kristen Perez" results in...
I can tell you how to change this, at least for users in the San Antonio area. Unfortunately you have a fairly common name, even Kay Lynn is somewhat common. "Carey Martell" is extremely rare and that gives me a lot of advantages.
Still, before I realized how to SEO, the top results for my name was content related to Mariah Carey, so I must be doing something right. I've also managed to bump off the majority of the digital assassination pages that my stalkers made about me from the top of Google search results; for example my Encyclopedia dramatica article doesn't appear anymore.
These techniques can work for you and be used to help ensure you control what information is spread about you online.
I'm going to break this down into a few steps for you.
#1: Get rid of <meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow'
This is on your website and it's preventing it from being properly indexed by Search Engines.
Never, ever, ever use nofollow and noindex. You want to be discovered, don't you?
#2 Get local websites related to modeling and go go dancing to link to yours, and link back to them, too.
Google Search algorithm is partly based on PageRank and PageRank is somewhat based on local websites. It's actually fairly complicated to explain but it's not really important to understand.
What is important is that your website has lots of San Antonio, TX and surrounding area, (even Austin is good) websites linking back to yours. So any clubs that your group performs at should include a link SOMEWHERE on their website to your website, even if it's just a blog post. Ideally get them to plug all your websites.
This will help your search results a lot.
#3 Add a blog to your Wordpress site
Google Search did an update a few months back called Panda.
This Panda is not a cute, cuddly Panda; it's a very mean and pissed off Panda.
Panda was designed to obliterate the majority of SEO techniques used to manipulate Google Search results. One of the ways it did this by depreciating the rankings of websites that do not continually update content. Google Search now favors "fresh content'.
Because your website lacks a way to reliably add new content through things like RSS feeds, your website is going to be poorly ranked by Google Search and other search engines like Yahoo and Bing which basically leech their search results from Google.
This means you need to add a blog to your website and continually update it, at least a post every week. Given how active you are, this should not be hard for you to do. You basically just need to also add whatever you put on your Facebook and Twitter to also be on your website.
Here are some ideas for other keyword rich content that will help you,
-Embed your modeling pics into the blogs. Include links back to your Facebook fan pages, and make sure the links are keyword rich (ex. Kay Lynn's hot new hair style is a very keyword rich link to one of your photos). This is done more for improving the search ranking of your Facebook page than for live users, but it should also lead users to your pages.
So basically one of your blog posts might look like this,
------------------------------
Title: My new hair!!
Kay Lynn's hot new hair style
OMG RAINBOWS AND KEYWORDS AND BLAH BLAH BLAH!
Check out my San Antonio, Texas Go Go Dancer Group The Syrins
Kay Lynn's Twitter
--------------------------------------
It's extremely important you start getting 'San Antonio, Texas' into the links because that will signify to search engines that your group is local to SA, and will start displaying it to people who search for "Go Go Dancer" from IPs marked as belonging to San Antonio, Texas. Google Search results are localized.
Also make sure your images have subtext / mouse hover text that is keyword rich. Google Images picks up on that and uses it for helping decide which images to display. Google Image also uses the filename, too, so make sure your filenames aren't generic IMG103494 crap but something like "Kaylynn awesome gogodancer hairdo" because that will be keyword rich.
-Make blog posts with new music that you are discovering and liking. Insert itunes links to where people can download it. That means when people search for things like "go go music" your site may appear in the results.
-Make blog posts announcing new events you'll appear at.
-Make blog posts with tips on wardrobe, dancing, hair, etc etc relative to Go Go dancing.
#4 Get your blog listed on Technorati.
Technorati is a big, big deal.
I have detailed instructions for how to do so on my blog.
I have went ahead and decided on some technorati tags for you. If you're unhappy with these, here is the page where you can see the trending Technorati tags.
dance
music
entertainment
itunes
lifestyle
music news
music industry
music guide
mp3
music
women
#4: Make your website more keyword rich.
Here is my suggestion on how to improve the keywords on your page,
I think of modeling as an art, another way to express myself. I model and Go Go dance for a hobby, aside from my full time job as a game programmer. I am most available in San Antonio, Texas on the weekends and Friday after noon. For booking you can contact Kay Lynn at kaylynn76@gmail.com
You can find more keywords which are highly searched on Google by using the AdWords keyword tool.
I've circled the really important stuff for you to pay attention to with the tool,
Whatever keywords you type in, the tool will suggest new keywords. The local results are the ones you want to pay the most attention to, because they'll show what how often users in your area are searching those terms. It will also tell you if they are high competition or low competition; high means many websites use those keywords and low means few websites use them.
Ideally, you want to go for low competition, high traffic keywords.
You should try to mix them into a sentence, because Google's algorithm hates keyword dumping and penalizes your rank if it detects any.
For example, this is what I stick in a lot of my youtube videos and blogs. I've bolded all the high traffic keywords so you can see where I placed them in the sentences (and also my name)
"If you love rpgs games then this is the Youtube channel for you!
The RPG Fanatic Show is kind of like The Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) or Irate Gamer Show, but focused exclusively on old RPG games! Hosted by Carey Martell, the videos talks and shares news about all new video games and classic retro titles like Final Fantasy, Legend of Mana, The Lord of the Rings games, Disgaea, World of Warcraft and Wizardry! This is one of the best game channels for game videos!
The RPG Fanatic Show is also a Machinima Realm director channel.
http://www.rpgs.mobi/ - Mobile version of the site"
So basically find a bunch of keywords and fit them into sentences. That's how you outsmart the search engines ^^
#5: Look at rival model / go go group pages in your area. See who is linking to them. Get links to your site from those websites.
I've written an article about how to do this easily.
#6: Add your name and better keywords to your Facebook page descriptions, Google +, Twitter, etc
I also have a blog about that,
Also should point out, all the Youtube channel links on the sidebar, they are nofollows so it's not worth it to add the links just for trying to SEO. This is what I mean,
Those are all forced nofollow links so don't waste your time. Youtube is cheap like that.
I'll have more tips for you later. I need to get some sleep.
