The Business Community Network

The Business Community Network (BCN) has been established as a means to connect the business community in Western Canada but is not limited geographically - any company is welcome. We believe there's a need for businesses to communicate with each other on a company basis rather than individuals basis (such as Linked In or Facebook). As such the structure of this community is set up like this: business / industry groups >> companies >> individuals. In addition, companies can link Facebook, Twitter accounts and Blog Feeds to their BCN accounts. Membership is free but advertising will be on a paid basis - rates will be published soon. We welcome comments and suggestions so please let us know what you think.

Steps to START...

Get your company connected

  • Expand your business network
  • View profiles and add new contacts
  • Share promos, photos and videos
  • Create your own groups or join others

How to get free and targeted traffic from search engines

Creating a website is only the first step to world domination, you need to promote it so that people can know about it. What if you could get free and targeted traffic?

(Note that "targeted" is important here. You do not want to attract anyone on your website, you want to attract people who are likely to be interested by it.)

Why get traffic from Google?
Search is usually the first action on internet for most users (including your potential clients) and Google is getting most of these searches, Bing slowly catching up.

How can you benefit from this traffic?
There are mainly two ways to get traffic from Google, one is from doing paid ads via Google Adwords and the other one is to appear in the search results when someone enters a specific keyword.

Google Adwords may help your site at the on-set of your business, but if not handled properly, this could prove to be costly and even deadly for your budget.

As opposed to Adwords, organic traffic (coming from search results) is free but it is a continuous process that bears its fruits on the longer term.

Google looks at certain factors to determine which websites to display for a given keyword. The practice of influencing Google to rank higher for a specific keyword is called Search Engine Optimization or SEO.

So where to start with SEO?
Search Engine Optimization is divided into two parts: on-page optimization and off-page optimization.

On-page Optimization
Google bots (a.k.a. Google search engine spiders) will go through the entire code of your website to pull out the essential parts. If your website in not search engine friendly, then Google will not understand what your content is about and won't associate it with the correct keywords.

Let's say that you want to rank in Google for the keyword "sydney accountant".

When you open your website in an internet browser, the title of the window should contain this keyword. Also, the main title of your page should contain the keyword so that it is clear for Google and your visitor what the website is about.

Google also looks at the alternative text associated with the images of your website, and the loading time of your pages.

Some website management systems like WordPress or Drupal make it fairly easy to do on-page SEO.

Off-page Optimization
To know if a page contains good content, Google looks at the number of other websites that link to that specific websites and the quality of these websites. If you get linked by spammy websites only, it will consider your website spammy but if reputable websites link to your article, then Google will think that you are worth showing in the search results.

Off-page optimization consists mainly of link building.

Below are some ideas on where to get links for your site:

  • Submit your site to reputable directories (DMOZ and Yahoo!)
  • Comment on related blogs and include a link to your website. Be careful: don't be spammy, always contribute to the discussion otherwise refrain to comment.
  • Post in related forums and add your link in your signature.
  • Submit some articles to sites such as http://ezinearticles.com/. This is called article marketing.
  • Create some press releases and submit them to sites such as 1888pressrelease.com. Note that not all press release submission sites are free.
  • Create mini-blogs focusing on a specific topic related to your niche and link back to your main website. You can use free blogs such as blogspot or squidoo.
Try to deliver as much good value as possible in each of these steps. You are building your brand and things you do online will be forever for people (or your competitors) to see. If what you post online provides value to its readers, you will also scale your link building process because people will naturally link to these articles and Google in turn will rank these articles higher in Google and will trust the links contained in these articles.

SEO is time consuming. Not everyone has the time to write dozens of articles and submit them to the right websites or go monitor all the relevant forums or blogs. This is why SEO is a good candidate for outsourcing.

SEOmoz Come To Calgary… Or Else!

Now I never like to start my blog posts with a threat but like so many other ransom notes I've written in the past let me be blunt, "Come to Calgary, or the Mozbot gets it".

Why Come To Calgary:

This is a little known fact but Toronto is not the only major city in Canada. Infact, Calgary, Alberta is home to one of the largest online marketing communities in the world. Our city of just over 1,000,000 hockey-loving, beer-drinking, cattle-rustling residents is also the home of Critical Mass (one of the largest web development companies in the world), Anduro Marketing (Co-developer of the SEO Browser), Media Dog (probably the most talented web design agency I've ever seen), and Calin Daniel Creative (my company "insert shameless plug here").
Our city is awash in online marketing meet-ups, social networking breakfasts, and Digital Alberta events, however, the SEO community could use a kick start.

What the SEO MozCation Could Do For Calgary:

  • Build awareness of the importance of professional SEO services.
  • Inspire the SEO community to be more active.
  • Create networking opportunities between companies both large and small.

Fun Reasons To Come To Calgary:

  • Tubbydog – The greatest gourmet hotdogs on the planet (I recommend the A-Bomb).
  • Stay for a week and take in the Calgary Stampede, Yee Haw!
  • BigRock Beer – Once you've tried it no other beer will do.
