Updating your Joomla website depending on what version of Joomla you have can be a tricky time consuming process. There are many variables to consider. Let's take a look at those variables.

The damage that a hacked Joomla Website can cause can be costly and very time consuming to say the least. A Joomla Website that has been hacked or infected by a malicious virus infestation can not only shut your website down, cost you money, but can get you black listed in the search engines almost immediately. Once the site is fixed, it could be weeks before the search engines un-blacklist your website and for some companies, that will put them out of business.
...Here is an example:
Have you ever checked your index within the search engines by typing in the Google search bar "site:yoursite.com" and found your footer/copyright as the text being shown as the returned result?
Why does this happen? This happens sometimes because search engines either take the first paragraph that it comes across starting at the top of the site or at the bottom of the site and index the content it finds.
...Before I begin, I'd like to tell you the reason I chose "this" specific topic to teach you. I came across a powerful story that I'm going to share with you at the end of this lesson. This story really opened my eyes to what is possible on the web and what all of you should incorporate into your search engine optimization strategy. It's a no brainer and anyone serious about search engine optimization would be a fool not to use what I'm about to teach you. Now, to the topic at hand... If it isn't enough to rank #1 in Google in less than 28 days, I'm going to teach you how you can actually rank better than #1 in both Google AND Yahoo, overnight! Yeah, I can hear you now... That's impossible. What a ridiculously hypish statement. Rodney's completely out of his mind. While #3 might be true :-) you truly can rank above the #1 position in Google and Yahoo in less than 24 hours!
Is Google trying to set new SEO Trends or was there such a demand on Google to share a little bit about how its algorithm works? Either way, Google has published is own SEO Starter Guide for the general public.
For most of us this is old school daily tactics, but for others it will open your eyes to the fierce competition that is out there competing against you and your site.
I get asked all the time about viable back links that will drive traffic. This first thing that pops into mind is getting links pointing back to your site from websites that have 1) high traffic and 2) large page rank. Of course the next question I get asked by my clients is "can i do this myself". The answers is, Yes you can and our recommendation for today is to setup an account with Squidoo.com.

On a daily basis I get asked why blogging is so important. Many SEO Specialists have written articles on this very topic all claiming the same thing expecting you to take their word for it. For example, back in Dec of 2008 I wrote a small article on "Why Blogging is so Important" in which I gave pretty good explanation as to why each website needs one. This article has gotten quite a few hits with no visible or mentionable results other than providing the viewer with a good reason to start blogging.
However, telling you why you need a blog is experience and opinion based and is a tad bit different then showing you why you need a blog. So in this article on "Why do YOU need to blog" I will show you actual results that will clearly show the benefits of blogging on your website.

There are three general ways that people search for something they need or want. They open up their browser, go to Google, Yahoo or Bing and they either type in a keyword, keyword string or they ask the search engines a question. Keywords Strings are the #1 determining component of a successful returned result from the search engines. Questions would be #2 and a single keyword would be next in line.
Example of what someone would type if they were looking for boots:

My phone rings and on the other end of the phone is a panicky voice. Melissa (name changed out of respect) tells me how they hired a local SEO firm to help drive traffic and increase page rank. She was blunt force honest with me and told me that she didn't always pay him on time and she told me on occasion when she didn't get her way she would insult him telling him that SEO guys are a dime a dozen and on occasion gave him unrealistic expectations. Though this kind of honesty is rare I just sat there and listened to her story.
She did tell me that he was occasionally late in calling her when he was supposed to and even sometimes he didn't get to her site in days. So between her threats and degrading comments and his lack of "on-time" response, they decided to part company and Melissa ended up doing a charge back on him.
