Google was created by Lary Page and Sergey Brin. They met at Stanford University as PhD student. They were interested in search engine area. They considered that existing search engine didn’t return satisfied result. So they planned to make a new search engine named Google. To actualize their idea, they built a company  in 1998. Starting  the office from the rented garage  in Menlo Park, California. In short time they  make Google as company by fantastic  progress from initial capital 100 thousand dollars,  sales value of  Google had been  3,2 billion dóllars in 2004. stock value of  Google go up 79,6 billion dollars In August  2005 .

Google is the main search engine on the internet which handles 56 percent of search engine market. becoming  priority from many marketers to advertise  on Google.  Around 10.6 billion dollars had been spent in 2006, going up 73 percent of the year 2005.  Google’s ads business  reached 16,4 billion dollars in 2007.

Advertising is main source Google’s income, that reached 97 percent of total of company income. Google reported the net income 1,25 billion dollars from total income 5,37 billion dollars on june 30th  2008. Advertisement contributes 99% from Google’s total income. If we open Google’s site, there is only searching box with white background, nothing else.  With such that simple appearance , where the power of Google. We can read from method of Google’s advertisement

* We consider there are hundred million internet users use Google to search document.

* Google is interface between marketers and consumers. We can imagine someone searches information of product and someone else who sells that product, this is what Google does, bringing  consumers and marketers into contact by advertisement which signed by sponsored link

* We are interested in advertising on Google. We make keywords, description and link to our shop.

* Every people who clicks advertisement,  Google will give information that any people come to our shop,  they may buy our product, so we provide payment to Google

* not only us that have same product maybe hundred, so there is competition. Price is determined by auction system. We ourselves determine the price that would we pay on every clicked ads.

* We offer on the ads we put on, the more we pay  the frequent ads shows.

imagine million ads based million keywords on Google and hundred million users do billion search everyday, and almost most marketers  in the world put on ads on Google. so we can imagine where Google’s income from.

A. Additional Factors

Additional factors are new factors and also factors that have greater role than before, here are:

• Social Media
  The social media such as Facebook, Twitter would seem have greater role in ranking factors. There is nothing wrong if we would be more active to use social media as our marketing strategy, beside good to extend our network marketing  and it would be good for ranking factor.

• Social Bookmark
  We shouldn’t close our eyes with these social bookmarks ( dig, del.icio.us,Stumble Upon), they can give potential traffic.  Some opinion consider Social Bookmarks have greater role on Google caffeine, so we would consider to emphasize this. The key is quality of content, the more quality and useful content we write the more possible we get many bookmarks.
• Site Speed
  Site-speed factor would be as new factor in Google’s ranking algorithm. So, we have to put our site on descent web server

B. Standard Factors

Standard factors are factors which are used in SEO Standard on Google’s old version.

• Content
  Writing quality content, the more quality content we write the more people would visit our site. Google is used to search information. So , what information we will offer to visitors, informative or no. Just write with our hobby and our heart, gradually we would give quality content.

• Title
  Title tag is located between head section, Google consider title is important, so, make title that relevant with body content. Here is example of Title tag:

.                               <title>our title here</title>

• Meta tag description
  Meta tag description is considered important on some search engine but is not on Google , but we should write this meta tag in order to be indexed by other search engines . Here is example of meta tag description:

<meta name =”description” content=”our sentence here”>

• Meta tag keyword
  Meta tag keyword is considered important on some search engine but is not on Google , but we should write. Here is example of meta tag keyword:

<meta name=”keywords” content=” content “our keywords here”>

• Keyword density
  Keyword density is percentage how many times keywords appear compared with total number of words on the page. Many experts suggest keyword density is around 2 to 6 %.

• Alt tag
  If we have image on our page, it is good practice to include alt text on every image. alt text is only indexed when the image is part of a hyperlink. Use interesting and descriptive texts on alt text. Here is example of alt tag:

<img alt= “seo service” SRC=”image.jpg” >

• Tag H1.H2,H3
  Words that appear on headline and subheadline are still important. So we may input keywords on tag header H1, H2, H3.

• Body text
  Google will scan first paragraph to know theme of web page. so, we may put keywords on this part. We may put keywords on last paragraph too because Google consider this as summary from what we write on the title, meta tag and header.

• Page View
  Page view is request to load a page on the web site. this is term that usually is used by internet marketer to measure how many times that page are visited

• Bounce rate
  Bounce rate is value to measure how long visitor visits and then goes from the page. Bounce rate influences the ranking of page. The lower value of bounce rate the more possible to gain higher ranking.

• Traffic number
  The more people visit the more traffic number and the more important your site on the internet. So that it can increase ranking of site.

• Age of site
  According to Google’s metrics, domain names that are registered for a longer period of time are considered to be more authoritative. So, if you are looking for getting Google’s appreciation, register domains for a longer period, say 5 years o, and that would give you an edge over others.

• Good navigation
  Be careful with frame, frame can erase navigation to help visitor visits other pages. So we shouldn’t use frame to make a site. Don’t forget to use sitemap with the right links to every page. Use tool for easy Google sitemap Generator (sitemapdoc.com)

• Link
  I don’t already know,  PageRank will be considered or no on Google Caffeine but I think link structure still is given weight.

• Time spent on page
  If people visit the page with time spent on the page longer, then bounce rate will decrease, so the more possible that page to gain higher ranking.

I had good experience with this , when Google retrieved my page on the first in search result with misspelt keywords with one of three keywords contains “Google”. So that i realized that there were any people out there who typed misspelt keywords on Google search box. When I typed the right-spelled keywords, my page was not on the first. There are millions searches every day with misspelt keywords, so that we can use this potential to catch visitors into our site. We can focus to the misspelt keywords as our marketing trick.

Here are some reasons why misspelt keywords can happen:

• Not all people are able to spell well
• Not all people on the internet have well educated and know good standard spelling
• Sometimes foreign words is more famous than local words
• We often use foreign language to search webpage
• There are some people don’t use and know spelling checker facility in Google

Hyperlink at the Search Engine Side

At Google, hyperlink is considered as important parameter to measure the relevance of web pages. Hyperlink gives better precision value. However, there is still any drawback on the hyperlink use; For example, it is possible the page on the first ranking in the search result doesn’t contain words that is similar with the query, It is because, the page has a lot of backlinks with its anchor texts containing words that is similar with the query. So, relevance of page becomes unprecise. Importance of the link can be related by view of people on importance of the page. the measurement that based on using links is called PageRank. PageRank and other measurements such as matching function, capitalization, position and many others are used as parameters to Ranking function.

PageRank

PageRank uses parameters, such as inbound link, outbound link and damping factor to measure importance of the page on the web. PageRank is measurement using hyperlink structure on the web pages, with other parameters such as, matching function, capitalization, position, font and others are used as ranking algorithm at Google. Internet marketers try to get high PageRank to be able on the first page in the search result. By higher PageRank the more traffic can be got. There is a propagation method on the value of PageRank among web pages.

Anchor text

Google consider anchor text as something important. According to Google anchor text can describe page more accurate than page itself. Google also consider the page that hyperlink point to. Anchor text can represent document that can’t be indexed such as image, program and database.

Hyperlink at the Internet Marketer Side

Internet marketers view hyperlink as important resource to increase ranking of the page. They try to get the good quality hyperlink from other pages, by the hope they can sit on the first page in the search result. Good quality hyperlink is based on the PageRank value, popularity and relevance of the page giving hyperlink. There are some methods in terms of hyperlink that used by internet marketers, the following:

Geting the Backlink

· Backlink from Social Bookmark

We can share our url to some famous social bookmark such as : StumbleUpon, digg, reddit, del.icio.us.

· Backlink from Directories

We can put our site on popular directories such as, DMOZ.org and Yahoo! Directory.

· Backlink from Article directories

We can share article we write to popular article directories such as : EzineArticles.com, ArticleBase.com, ArticleDashboard.com, etc.

· Backlink from Blog Comment

We can share our comment on the good quality and high pagerank blog. Write good and building comment.

· Backlink from Social Media

We can develop baclink from social media such as Facebook, Myspace, Youtube.

Developing Reciprocal Link

Developing reciprocal link to web that has relevant topic by getting link from relevant content it can help to gain the higher ranking. Try to give a link and get the link from relevant content. We can use these places to exchange link :

www.linkmarket.net

www.link-exchange.com

www.gotop.com

www.linkexchangeit.com

Analyzing the keyword expansion to find the niche

Analyze every possible keywords, we may use the tool such as Keyword Research Engine, this tool can generate expanded key phrases from a root word we may not have thought of, just enter the root word so the tool can expand that one.

For example root word : Search

Expansion: Search engine, search engine marketing, search marketing, search method, etc.

Analyzing amount of keyword searches

Choose the words that we would use, and analyze How many searches of each keyword, we may analyze by web CEO tools, many other advanced tools we may search on the net (free or paid)

Analyzing the keyword competition

How many pages that use those keywords, if the amount is very big, find out keywords that have moderate competition, comparing with amount of searches. This comparison describes keyword effectiveness . We may collect the keywords with moderate competition

We can write with some moderate competitiom keywords

The moderate competition keywords we have collected, we can consider them to be written on our page. but don’t repeat those keywords much, because it can be considered as spamming, so just write naturally.

• Go to URL http://www.google.com/ trends

• we can type on the box with some keywords we want to analyze, for example : Internet Marketing, SEO, Online Business. Then press       button search trends,  the result is like this picture below

• If we look at  a graphic trends, it has two parts,

*  Search Volume Index on  the upper part, shows  graphic trends of keyword popularity level

* News Reference Volume on the bottom part, shows  amount of articles in the google news based on each keyword

• The graphic shows :

* Keyword SEO with orange graphic

* Keyword Online business with red graphic

*  Keyword internet marketing  with blue graphic

• we can look at scale of each keyword, that is :

*  Scale of internet marketing is 1.0

*  Scale of online business is 2.50

*  Scale of Seo is 3.05

• Describing of that pictrue above, we can conclude

Popularity  level of internet marketing is 1.0 is  basis to compare with other keywords,   SEO and online business, we can say         popularity  level of keyword  “online business”  is two and a half times the “internet marketing”, and  popularity level  of “SEO”  is   tree times more the “internet marketing”. Popularity level explains searching volume  of those keywords by people on Google seach engine,  so the searching volume of “online business” is two and half times the searching volume of “internet marketing”,  so that online business is more popular than internet marketing, and SEO the most popular one than others.

• This step can be early step to keyword research in determining theme of blog that we will write

As a beginner in the internet marketing, I have a big dream in this field, just making our shop online so it goes to the world. There will be many people visit and buy. We will get the profit fast. There are so many internet marketing sites with sweet offer, offering some facilities to get money online. Many internet marketing books with its titles about how to get profit online. Sometimes it makes me confused, what the right method we should do, sometimes I feel, having tried many techniques but the result is still far from the hope. I have been learning the internet marketing for more three months, learning of the techniques and strategies. I made my own e-commerce and my blog. I promote my e-commerce by myself, using some SEO techniques. Trying to use all marketing channel in the internet to promote my business, in the process. I feel that business on the internet is not far different with conventional one, needing strategy, working seriously and patience to let business grow. I start to undertand and be more wise to view this business. As a beginner sometimes we get confused where we start. We just start to make e-comerce, promoting it with some SEO to search engine, using social media, and using blog to promote. When our business doesn’t grow like we hope, around four months we stop and we get conclusion looking for money from the internet is impossible, we stop and we don’t want back again. We consider the internet business is only mere dream. I am trying to view these things wisely. Internet has a potential because around billion people from many countries gather, many online transactions has been happening, many entrepreneur grows, many people got rich from the internet, that we have to do how to meet the people that need our products. It takes strategies and techniques, strategy to attract people, strategy to promote our business, strategy to build a reputation and confidence, strategy to win competition with others. If we look at on the internet marketing business, we need to master techniques and strategies. I thing the strategies we need to do business on the internets are :

We must have the right view

The right view is willingness to try hard, try as long as that it takes, when we begin doing business online, it takes time to face uncertainty, traffic is still bad, there is no profit, we must try to use techniques and strategies to build traffic and make a profit,

Being Honest

In selling our products, not more not less, just be honest, giving credence to customer, people like and will go back again if we sell honestly. I have an experience with this when I bought a domain www.enginecarts.com with pagerank 3, but when I used it, the pagerank dropped immediately, so I didn’t trust the seller. so I didn’t want to buy from this site anymore. Selling honestly will bring us to the good reputation

Make our own products

Trying to input the new unique products to the internet market so the market will have the various products. It is better we have our own unique products than joining to the affilite, if having the success it is our business, we will enjoy success ourself, but if we don’t have our own products at all, we can use the affiliate programs as alternative, but we are dependent from owner of the affiliate program.

We don’t need to start perfectly, just start our business

Because afraid to start, sometimes in doing business many plans we make, many strategies we learn, many calculation we make, we want our business perfect, we spend more time to make calculation but we never start, many consideration we do, sometimes it takes several months, just start, do that business we will learn from difficulties we face.

Focus for the result

Concentration for one thing

if we get one thing for our internet business, keep on concentration for that thing, don’t move to other field before success and growing, after it is growing and stable , we can considerate to use another internet business.

Don’t ever give up

Internet juga mempunyai pengaruh yang besar atas ilmu, dan pandangan dunia. Dengan berpandukan pada berbagai mesin pencari global seperti Google, Yahoo, Altavista dan lain-lain, pengguna di seluruh dunia mempunyai akses internet yang mudah atas bermacam-macam informasi. Perkembangan Internet juga telah mempengaruhi perkembangan dunia usaha. Berbagai transaksi jual beli yang sebelumnya hanya bisa dilakukan dengan cara tatap muka (dan sebagian sangat kecil melalui pos atau telepon), kini sangat mudah dan sering dilakukan melalui Internet. Transaksi melalui Internet ini dikenal dengan nama e-commerce.

Penggunaan internet dalam dunia usaha berubah yang sebelumnya dari fungsi sebagai alat untuk pertukaran informasi secara elektronik menjadi alat untuk aplikasi strategi bisnis, seperti pemasaran, penjualan dan pelayanan pelanggan. Pemasaran di internet cenderung menembus berbagai rintangan, batas bangsa dan tanpa aturan-aturan yang baku. Sedangkan pemasaran konvensional, barang mengalir dalam partai-partai besar, melalui pelabuhan laut, pakai kontainer, distributor, lembaga penjamin, importer dan lembaga bank, pemasaran konvensional lebih banyak yang terlibat dibandingkan pemasaran lewat internet, pemasaran di internet sama dengan direct marketing, dimana konsumen berhubungan langsung dengan penjual, walaupun penjualnya berada diluar negeri.

Seiring dengan perkembangan internet pada dunia usaha, berbagai wirausahawan internet baru tumbuh, banyak jutawan lahir dengan bisnis melaui internet, walaupun era keemasan dotcom diawal tahun 2000-an sudah berakhir bukan berarti bisnis di internet lalu bubar. Bisnis tersebut semakin dewasa dan perlahan berevolusi menurut perkembangan teknologi dan pasar para penggunannya. Bisnis di internet juga menuntut kerja keras dan pengorbanan yang tidak berbeda dengan model bisnis konvensional. Walaupun pada banyak kisah sukses di bisnis internet sering dicapai dengan metode yang berbeda dan relatif dalam waktu singkat, namun harus diingat bahwa kerja keras dan ketekunan tetap menjadi fondasi dasar dari pelaku bisnis.

Prinsip-prinsip wirausaha tetap diperlukan dalam bisnis internet tidak berbeda jauh dengan bisnis konvensonal.

Berbagai kegagalan bisnis internet lebih cenderung karena faktor mindset atau pola pikir dan kunci strategi yang tidak benar, segala sesuatu yang bersifat instan ingin cepat berhasil tanpa melalui kerja keras dan ketekunan hanyalah merupakan suatu impian belaka. Pola pikir dan pengetahuan akan strategi bisnis internet untuk membuka arah pertumbuhan dan perkembangan sangat diperlukan, cobalah untuk terus belajar memahami fenomena yang terjadi pada bisnis internet. sehingga lebih bersifat bijak dan matang dalam menghadapi segala permasalahan tersebut. Disamping mindset dan pengetahuan akan kunci strategi pertumbuhan dan perkembangan usaha, berbagai pengetahuan teknis diperlukan sebagai modal awal untuk berwirausaha di internet, walaupun pengetahuan teknis bukanlah jaminan untuk keberhasilan bisnis internet, pengetahuan teknis bisa diperoleh dengan belajar sendiri ataupun dari orang lain.

Most Indonesian people believe in Islam and Indonesia is the biggest moslem resident in the world, so Idul Fitri feast day tradition is very unique and is different from moslem people in other States.

young coconut leaves

Before celebrating Idul Fitri, moslem fasts one full month in Ramadhan month where in Ramadhan moslem fasts from starting Predawn a few moments prior to dawn until Magrib, at fasting time, arresting hungry; thirsty without eating and drinking and also arresting other passion, like dander passion until breaking fast at magrib time. When evening, mosque a moslem place of prayer fulfilled by moslem to do evening prayer and tarawih prayer .

Before the end of Ramadhan, before Idul Fitri feast day, moslem obliged to pay a tithe in rice or money paid on last days of fasting month that is giving two litres and a half of rice or a number of money at that price to rightful claimant accepts them, like fakir and the poor.

Few days before Idul Fitri there is the habit of Indonesian moslem society that is not had by other moslem people in the world that is tradition of going upstream (mudik). Tradition of going upstream that is going home to native land to gather with an old fellow, grandmother, grandfather and folks, they go home by bringing child, wife. Usually going upstream done one week until one day before D day or started at the time of red calendar, national red letter day specified by government. At the moment of this going upstream they bring new clothes, new shoes, new sarongs, new white cloaks covering a woman’s head and body worn at prayer even they bring new clothes for the old fellow and family to be worn when Idul Fitri feast day and also beverage and cake to be served when day of celebration at the end of fasting month (lebaran)

To this going upstream , usually moslem people have far day before ramadhan drawn up it, because needing fare that by dozens, if it is true going abroad far from native land. Like to buying plane ticket, boat ticket, train ticket, bus, travel, or by using their own car even their own motor. It is not strange at the moment before this Idul fitri, traffic becomes crowded. Motor even also can be ridden by 4 people, 2 adults, 2 children, by bringing big bag. Railway station, airport, dock, terminal, fulfilled by everyone who will go upstream.

Braised Chicken in Coconut Milk

At the time of D day, Idul Fitri feast day, served the typical food, which usually served when lebaran moment, like rice cake boiled in a rhombus-shaped packet of plaited young coconut leaves (ketupat) and also other food which different each other every province in Indonesia, usually Braised Chicken in Coconut Milk , Beef in Soy Sauce, Spicy Coconut Beef, Spicy Sweet Chicken Liver Saute, Vegetables Cooked in Coconutmilk Besides that also served Pastries, Roasted Peanut and Beverages to be eaten by all family, and served to guests who come.

Before that in the morning done Idul Fitri prayer in the mosque and in the field . Usually new clothes have been worn, and after Idul Fitri prayer, moslem people forgive each other, shake hand, apologize to the all past mistake to old fellow, husband, wife, neighbour and family. Younger people usually visit to house of the elders by going around from house to house, so typical food of this Idul Fitri is usually served. The elders or everyone who has had production usually giving some money to younger ones when shaking hand and forgiving moment.

Spicy Sweet Chicken Liver Saute

I feel that tradition of this going upstream there’s only in Indonesia, even indonesian labor that works outside country, trying to go upstream when Idul Fitri moment comes.
