As a matter of fact, it is not possible to turn on the TV and watch it for any length of time without seeing this type of commercial. You know the scenario, you have a problem with your car and you don’t get paid for another week but you can’t get to work unless you get that car fixed. You’re stuck in a scenario that happens to thousands of people on a regular basis. Emergencies do come up from time to time and it can be difficult to get through a financial crisis in this type of the situation. That is why the payday advance loans are so popular with many people.If you are unsure about how these payday advance loans work, then you need to educate yourself a little bit so that you can make a sound decision on the matter.The best way that you can decide to which of these loan companies to use is to ask yourself some leading questions. Once you understand the answers to these questions, you will be in a much better situation to accept one of these cash advance loans.What exactly is a payday loan?A payday loan is just a way for a lender to offer you a short-term loan if you’re in a difficult financial situation. You can get quick money in your hand, usually within a day but you’re also going to be expected to pay it back in a relatively short period of time. Don’t think that these lenders are in business to help you, they are in business to make money. That is why many of these payday loan companies charge a large amount of money for the loans that they give out.What things should I look at when choosing a payday loan company?Before you enter into a contract with a cash advance lender, there are a few things that you should take into consideration. First of all, find out how long the company has had their doors open for business. The industry tends to be growing very quickly and it’s not unusual for new companies to spring up in a relatively short period of time. Make sure that the company has been around long enough that they have a good reputation in the industry. The Internet will be able to provide you with details on these specific companies and you can typically read reviews from people who are experienced with their business practices. If you’re unable to locate the information on the Internet, try contacting the Better Business Bureau. The Better Business Bureau keeps track of companies such as this and you will be able to find feedback from existing users, both good and bad.Another thing that you should consider whenever you’re looking at a payday loan company are the terms of the loan itself. What information does the company need from you in order to process your application? The good news is that many of these lenders will not require a large amount of information if you mean a few simple requirements.<br />You must meet a minimum age requirement, typically 18 years old.<br /> In order to get one of these loans you need to have a checking account<br /> Another requirement is that you have a steady job that you have held for several months and meet the predetermined requirements for monthly income.<br />How much money can you expect from one of these loan companies?You would probably be surprised to find out that you can get up to $500 from a payday advance company if you meet the requirements. Some companies may be able to even offer you more in certain circumstances. Go into the contract with an idea of how much money you need and talk to the person at the loan company about this number.What are the repayment requirements?Although this may vary from loan company to loan company, you can typically expect to be required to repay the loan in about two weeks.Make sure that you ask the right questions before going into this contract. Making a mistake during a financially difficult time can put you in a worse situation than what you started.</p><div class="mads-block"></div>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://agexums.info/secrets-to-choosing-the-perfect-payday-loan-lender/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Applied Social Psychology & Counselling</title> <link>https://agexums.info/applied-social-psychology-counselling/</link> <comments>https://agexums.info/applied-social-psychology-counselling/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 09 Jul 2023 18:54:12 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://agexums.info/?p=62</guid> <description><![CDATA[AbstractOne of the problems of being a student of psychology is they learn everything in modules and pass examinations in separate areas of the subject.

These can lead to disjointed understanding – a failure to connect the dots. This paper is an attempt to marry the insights of Social Psychology and Counselling practice. Can counsellors learn some wider insights from social research? I will explore an example of classical research and try to see how it can benefit the counsellor in practice.IntroductionMost psychology students even after graduation cannot always see the connection between one area of psychological knowledge and another – even well known psychologists manage to come up with “new” ideas which clearly are not – but where their subconscious has dragged two facts together to make a correlation that show a new idea – not that one may cause the other. For example Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used by many counsellors, psychiatrists and medical counsellors yet few understand that its principals lie squarely with Freudian thinking.Counsellors are not always educated in psychology and many learn their knowledge in short courses designed by colleges and universities to one standard or another. What ever way you look at it their knowledge is often full of gaps. This is mainly because of the tendency to train in only one school of thought, i.e. CBT, psychodynamics, psychotherapy and other areas – but limited often to a particular theory or school of thought. This leads to the same situation as our learned friends re-inventing the wheel. Many counsellors on my own seminars are surprised when you present something novel and then tell them who actually came up with the notion – then they all sigh – oooohhh! I would like here to present some samples using social psychological research and how we can marry the knowledge to help us become better counsellors and even better researchers of our own practice.Social Psychology – an idea!What is Social Psychology anyway – it is the scientific study of how people think about, are influenced and relate to one another in a social world (Myers 2005). It investigates three areas of our being, one is our social thinking, how we see ourselves in the world, the second how we are influenced by society, its culture and traditions, within and without groups and third by our social relations, in prejudice, aggression, attraction also altruism towards other people and from them to ourselves. This then is the social world we live in. Most psychology is based on what the individual is doing, learning, thinking and feeling, but we are not alone in this world – we are part of a family, a community, a city, a country, a culture and all this creates a reality for our daily lives.Counselling – a way!Of course the purpose of counselling has always been focused on the individual (except Transactional Analysis – the only therapy based on relationships directly). This mean that in counselling sessions it is the individual’s problems being addressed and dealt with in a therapeutic environment, leading to a resolution for the client, but not for the world he has to deal with when he leaves the comfort of the therapists office.Social Psychology – thinking outside the box!We all create our own reality – no two people will agree on a shared view even when witnessing the same event. This is because we come to every event with preconceptions about the world – we often call this common sense. However common sense is often untested and can be interpretated many ways. Paul Lazersfeld (1949) asked some subjects to view some common sense statements and asked if the subjects agreed with the notions stated.1. Better-educated soldiers suffered more adjustment problems than did less-educated soldiers. (Intellectuals were less prepared for battle than stresses than street-smart-people.)2. Southern soldiers coped better with the hot South Sea Island climate than did Northern soldiers. (Southerners were accustomed to hot weather).3. White privates were more eager for promotion than were Black privates. (Years of oppression take a toll on achievement motivation).4. Southern Blacks preferred Southern to Northern officers (because Southern officers were more experienced and skilled in interacting with Blacks). (Myers 2005)Many of Lazersfelds’ subjects stated that the above statements were obvious and found no difficulty in agreeing with them. As you might have guessed the reality was actually the opposite in every case. Lazersfeld in fact reported that the less educated soldiers suffered more, there was no real difference in climate adjustment, Blacks were more eager for promotion etcetera. In everyday life we experience listening to others people’s common sense and never really question it – this is often because they are stated as hindsight (after the event has happened). We take the attitude of “see I told you that is what it would be like” but before the event this is not so easy. In today’s society we like to find scapegoats for political mistakes, industrial accidents, car crashes – someone has to be blamed – they should have known. It is easy after the facts are known to attribute blame to someone – who at the time probably were no wiser that anyone else. In the 9/11 disaster, the security forces had intelligence that could have stopped the terrorists but it was amongst the millions of other bits of useless information. After 9/11 people were surprised this information was ignored.Social Psychology informs Counselling – 1From the above example how can we use this information in our counselling sessions? How can we judge that our client’s sense of reality is correct -that they are not talking about common mis-sense or even using hindsight to interpret a past event? We could try the following questions to the client to try and elicit a sense of what went before.1. What were you thinking prior to the event?2. Did you always believe this?3. Do you think others agree with your view?4. How has this event changed the way you might act in the future?Case Study: -1Mary is raped; she has been through the court process and seen the man convicted. A year later she is unable to form new relationships with men. She makes the following statement:”Men are all the same – takers, liars, untrustworthy and brutal. I always knew they would hurt me one day, take my dignity away from me, and stop me from living my life with-out fear. Since I was a little girl I have feared men. They are all the same when you get right down to it – sexual dirty beasts.”Therapist: Tell me Mary, what were you thinking prior to the event?Mary: Well, I was happy, enjoying the party, dancing with some guys, having good fun. I guess I was thinking I was safe here and just happy to be with such exciting people.Therapist: You say that men are all alike – when did you start believing this?Mary: Look what happened to me! You give them a chance and they betray you. He said just a kiss outside, just a hug, I wanted that too, but when you give them that inch they take a mile. I knew then I should have said no.Therapist: Do you feel other girls feel the same about men?Mary: Perhaps they should, and then fewer girls would suffer like I did. However most girls are stupid and think they can handle men in any circumstances. Silly fools.Therapist: If you go to a party or similar now – how might you behave towards men?Mary: Well never be alone with any man – no matter how nice he is. Make sure you tell you friends where you are and who you are with. Better still do not go to the party in the first place.Summery: – 1You can see from Mary’s answers to our set questions she has taken up a new global view of men, a new way of behaving, she has used hindsight to create a new memory of the event. Prior to the event Mary had no such cautious thinking about men; she certainly did not have a global ideation. Her statement about, I should have known, is pure hindsight after the event, she even finds a suitable saying to confirm her thinking, an inch over a mile, the opposite could be, one small step is all it takes to your desired goal. Prior to the rape she was more than trusting to go outside and enjoy this man’s company and wished to be kissed and hugged. (This is not a justification for her rape merely looking at her own thinking). When asked how others might feel – she quickly adopts a “I know better approach”, she is really talking about herself prior to the rape, her personal belief in the ability to handle men, but now in hindsight seeing herself as the silly girl. Mary comes to therapy because she is finding it hard to make new relationships yet in answer to the last question – she effectively answers her own problem. She has created a new reality for herself in which no man can be trusted and therefore safer to be alone and avoid situations where she might meet similar men to her attacker (or any man).After this session our counsellor can reflect on Mary’s new perspective, her new common sense view, her fear of future relationships and the real matter of trust. Maybe she will need many challenging session before she can return to some semblance of the happy girl she once was but in trauma this of course takes time.The purpose of this exercise was however to show how we can use some notions from Social Psychology in our counselling practice.Social Psychology – Who am I?Central to social psychology is the idea of the “self” in a social environment. Our social identity is our sense of who we are in our private thoughts and in a community – our group identity for instance. When asked the question, “who am I?” , we tend to list our concept about our appearance, so we may answer, a man, a woman, tall, short, fat, thin, black, white. We may then talk of our social self, doctor, housewife, engineer, unemployed, these are our social roles. We then espouse our achievement, graduate, and noble laureate. Then we may talk about our knowledge of ourselves in the sense of our character, kind, happy, clever, superstitious. Finally about our feelings of self-worth, am I good person, do I help others, do people like me?As we do not live in isolation (unless you are a hermit) we are constantly adjusting ourselves to our situations, we may have some enduring traits across many situations such as, patience, kindness or risk taking and self-interest. However we do change our thinking and image to more often fit the situation we find ourselves in at any one time. Culture can make a huge difference to a situation and how we think and behave. Markus and Kitayama (1991) investigated the concept of the independent Westerner and the interdependent Easterner. The Westerner is surrounded by people such as mother, father, siblings, friends, co-workers and those who they serve or are serviced by, (shops etc). In the West they acknowledge the relationships with others but in the East they see themselves as deeply embedded in the lives of others. This has a huge impact on the concept of yourself image. The independent person is defined by individual traits and goals that are personal to them; the interdependent person is socially defined by connections with others. When asked what matters in life the independent will reply – me, my personal achievements, the interdependent will reply – we, the family, the group. The independent disapproves of conformity while the interdependent dislikes egotism in people. One group may feel they are controlling the world and the other is being controlled by the world (or events).<br />Social Psychology informs Counselling -2If the self is central to our thinking, our behaviour and our feelings then counselling should try to find out the core of a clients being in order to understand his position in society and life. How can we truly understand the client and their need for growth or resolution without knowing more about their starting point? Our therapist needs to ask some fundamental questions to elicit an overview of a person’s situation. Here are just six examples:1. Tell me how you see yourself – physically.2. Tell me how you believe others see you?3. What roles do you have in society, work, home etc?4. If I met you for the first time – what would my impression of you be?5. Do you think you are a good person?6. If you see a beggar in the street how do you react?Case Study – 2John has come to therapy to achieve some personal growth. He is fundamentally happy in life, has a good job, nice family and has few dramas in his life beyond the normal stressors of money and mortgages. However he is feeling unfulfilled and wishes to explore his potential for growth as a person.Therapist: If I came from Mars and saw you – how would I report back to my superiors what you looked like in comparison to others I met?John: That’s a tough question, I do not normally think about how I look beyond being suitably dressed for the occasion, i.e. for work or going out. If pushed I would say tall, maybe too thin, balding but still not ugly, keep clean and I am soft spoken. I guess as a Martian if you compare me too others I may be seen as dull, routine type and not very exciting.Therapist: So if I was to tell your best friend that description would they recognise you?John: hahahah I doubt it. When I am with my friends I am more casual, more relaxed and maybe even a little outgoing – take a risk now and again. I remember lots of jokes and amuse my friends with the telling. They always kid me I’m in danger of being blown away as I have no weight and keep eating all the time to keep on the ground.Therapist: What is your role in society – what do you see as important?John: I am a father first and foremost and then, of course equally, my wife’s husband. I think family is important more so than work although you have to have both in order to survive. I am an engineer by trade but now-days I mostly work in an office using a computer to create design papers. The work is steady and important but not essential to the well-being of mankind. I mentor at a children’s club once a week, you know the sort of thing, keeping them off the streets and occupied. I enjoy the way they look up to me as their advisor in so many areas of teenage concern.Therapist: If my assistant walked in here now and said hello to you what impression would she form of you? If I asked her later to tell me what might she say?John: She might say who was that boring guy you were with? It hurt my neck to look up at him. If I had a ladder he might be ok?Therapist: Are you a good person John?John: Well I have never intentially hurt anyone as far as I know. I think I do more than most for my local community. So, yes I would say I was good over-all.Therapist: There are many beggars in the streets now-days, if you saw one outside what is your reaction to them?John: I have to be honest here and say I do not always sympathise with them. I feel they may not be as poor as they pretend to be. You know a day of collecting then back to the car and home to the wife. I saw a beggar collect $5 from a bus cue, I worked out in a day he could collect maybe $200, that is $1000 every five days, $4000 a month – most people have to work really hard to get that sort of money. So now I only give to the ones I can be really sure about.Summery: – 2First we should re-examine the purpose of the questions;Tell me how you see yourself – physically.This question helps to breakdown the person’s self concept -their mirror image of themselves. What does it tell us? In our example John is a conformist; he dresses to expectations of others, and cares about his impression on others as in his remark about being clean.Tell me how you believe others see you?This is a checking question about the first. You can see here John does not repeat the first description but his more social self when relaxed and surrounded by those he trusts. Outside of his circle John conforms to expectations.What roles do you have in society, work, home etc?This question is to see how he fits into the world he inhabits. John clearly show a preference for safe roles, father, husband but when he talks about his outside roles he is clearly not so happy and fulfilled by work or his professional self.If I met you for the first time – what would my impression of you be?Here we are testing out the self-image again. John self-abases himself as he believes women react to his tallness and being thin. He believe he may look like the target of humour especially women.Do you think you are a good person?In this question we are looking for character traits, here John emphasises his contribution to the community, over exaggerates his role and minimises that of others. He wants to be seen as the good man.If you see a beggar in the street how do you react?This again is the checking question for the previous one about being good. Here John justifies what being good is – that it is situational for him. The beggar makes too much money therefore I do not have to give. I’m still a good man though? Self justification gives rise to thinking and behaviour to suit our prejudices.John came for personal growth to be able to be more in his world than just the normal person. John feels he is unfulfilled by life and from our questions we can see the image he holds of himself and his personal reality. Now the counsellor is not dealing with a problem of growth but a problem of image and self interest. From the findings of social psychology the counselling can be better informed and have a better base from which to suggest change and insight.Conclusion:This paper set out to show how a study of social psychology could help counsellors become better questioners and more informed about how people see themselves, their personal reality and concept of worth in a social world. In the two example case studies we can see the practical application of the findings from research in this area. Of course social psychology is a huge area of study and in this paper we have only scratched the surface of social thinking. Social influence and social relations can also inform us – such areas as obedience, conformity, conflict resolution and many other areas where people influence people either by the situation, or by the traits and characters of others, in transactions of our social world.References:Myers, .D (2005) Social Psychology, Posts & Telecom Press, China – McGraw Hill Publishing.

Their difficulty was not just about money. Some people just did not live close enough to reputable learning institutions to attend classes there. Even if they did live close enough, their busy schedules (which often included taking care of their families and working full time jobs) made it impossible for them to attend classes during regular school hours.</p><p>Now, thanks to distance learning, students can pursue a higher education no matter where they live. And they can set their own hours so that, no matter how busy their schedules are, they can make time to study when it is convenient for them.</p><p>The Advantages</p><p>The Internet has made it easier than ever. And, more and more, reputable learning institutions are embracing the concept.</p><p>The biggest advantage of learning by long distance is the convenience. You do not have to make time in your busy schedule to travel to a campus so you can take a required class at a certain time. Wherever your computer is, that will be your classroom.</p><p>Another big advantage is that, with distance learning, there is almost no limit to what you can study. Do you dream of being a teacher? Do you want to become a registered nurse? Do you want a business degree? You can do all of those and more online.</p><p>From home, you can earn an Associate Degree, or a Bachelor’s Degree. You could even go for your Master’s Degree. In fact, many people who have had to abandon their pursuit of a degree for one reason or another have been able to go back to school online and finally complete their studies, earning the degrees they had already worked so hard for.</p><p>The Limitations – Is Distance Learning Right for You?</p><p>Studying for a degree by long distance will take a bit of discipline and organization. You will not have teachers or professors there to remind you to do assignments. And you will be responsible for knowing when certain work needs to be done, knowing where certain paperwork needs to go and when it needs to be there.</p><p>However, if you have the motivation, and the desire to succeed, you can make it work.</p><p>Distance learning and higher education go hand and hand. Location and lack of time do not have to be obstacles anymore. With all of the options out there, there is nothing to stop you from pursuing your dreams of earning a degree.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://agexums.info/distance-learning-higher-education-advantages-and-limitations/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>There is an excessive amount of traffic coming from your Region.</title> <link>https://agexums.info/there-is-an-excessive-amount-of-traffic-coming-from-your-region-3/</link> <comments>https://agexums.info/there-is-an-excessive-amount-of-traffic-coming-from-your-region-3/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 12 May 2023 10:18:05 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[best business ideas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[best online business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[best online business ideas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[best online business to start]]></category> <category><![CDATA[business ideas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[how to make money online]]></category> <category><![CDATA[make money online]]></category> <category><![CDATA[online business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[online business from home]]></category> <category><![CDATA[online business ideas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[small business ideas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[start an online business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[start online business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[starting an online business]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://agexums.info/?p=57</guid> <description><![CDATA[#EANF#]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>#EANF#</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://agexums.info/there-is-an-excessive-amount-of-traffic-coming-from-your-region-3/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>How the Telecommunication and Wireless Industry Flourishes With Market Research</title> <link>https://agexums.info/how-the-telecommunication-and-wireless-industry-flourishes-with-market-research/</link> <comments>https://agexums.info/how-the-telecommunication-and-wireless-industry-flourishes-with-market-research/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 12 May 2023 04:56:01 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Telecommunications]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://agexums.info/?p=55</guid> <description><![CDATA[As an industry that is mainly characterized by the rapidly evolving technology, it is expected to have a strong market research foundation, which every company must have, to enhance their services and provide what the customers need.

What many people fail to realize is that behind every successful innovation and development of the telecommunication and wireless industry is a market research resource that supplies it with the exact analysis to create the perfect marketing mix and the statistics reports to determine the relevant figures needed in the whole business aspect.Here’s a list of how telecommunication and wireless industry flourishes with the help of market research analysis.Accomplish market goals with minimum risk of failureIt is a well-known fact that research holds a great influence in every business venture when crafting their goals and objectives. A wise businessman knows that for a company to succeed, research has to be conducted to test the waters and to have a preview of what is in store for the business in the future. Because market research is a great tool to gather accurate reports, it is a necessary activity which every industry should implement to secure a good chance of being successful.Help garner a bigger client baseHaving a solid market research team on the industry’s list of credentials is a bonus to widen its client base. Research shows that most clients often trust a company with reputable and good reputation; market research is a proven tool that could inject these factors into your company.Easier access to valuable and updated data from the marketThe telecommunication and wireless industry is among those industries that need constant updates. This is because technology is rapidly changing, so as people’s preferences and reactions to these changes. A company that has something to do with technology must always be updated with the latest news, reports, and trends. Through market research analysis, the telecommunication and wireless industry will have fresh and the most recent updates from its target market.Take necessary actions immediatelyBecause access to the market’s valuable information is easier, the telecommunication and wireless industry flourishes when it comes to taking the necessary actions immediately. In line with being up-to-date is the challenge to be able to get the needed statistics reports and analysis at the shortest time possible. The telecommunication and wireless industry is expected to deliver fast actions and immediate solutions to be able to provide the best, the freshest, and the most innovative services its clients

It is time to harness that energy and create the business you have been dreaming about. Starting a business is fairly simple as long as you know the basics. Once you know what you need to do to start a business for the long term, then you can create the business of your dreams?The first thing you should consider when you get that new home based business idea is its marketability. Are you going to be able to sell what you have in mind? Are people going to buy your item or service? Take a close look at the market for your new home based business idea to see what competition is out there and if people are willing to buy what you have to offer. If you find that your new home based business idea is not all that new, you may need to narrow your idea to a certain niche. Find the area that needs what you have to offer the most and that is the right area for your new home based business idea.Then check the laws in your state. Depending on your new home based business idea, you want to make sure you have the right licenses and certification to offer your product or service. For instance, if you are opening a day care center from your home, you may need the state to come out and do an inspection. You may need to fill out special paperwork. In many areas you are required to obtain a business license for your new home based business idea. Check with your municipality to see what is required. A business license is usually inexpensive.Another good idea is to create a business plan for your new home based business idea. Why would you need to put it on paper? A business plan allows you to create goals and values for your new home based business idea. It sets down on paper the concepts that you may find useful in the future. It allows you to see how you want to run your business and how you are going to make it grow. It does not take long to write a business plan, but it is usually one of your most useful tools for making your new home based business idea a reality.As you are creating your business plan for your new home based business idea, you will be taking some time to assess your financial needs. You need to determine your operating costs and if you will need to obtain a business loan to get your new home based business idea up and running. If you apply for loans or look for investors you will definitely need a business plan. Take a look in the long and short term to decide what your new home based business plan will require.Advertising is also an important part of making your new home based business idea a reality. You may not think it is important, but how will anyone know you exist if you do not advertise your products or services? One of the most inexpensive and easiest ways to advertise your business is to create a website. The internet is quickly becoming the primary way people find out about services and products, so a website is no longer an option for your new home based business idea. If you are operating on a budget you can create a minimal website for very little money. If you want a top-notch website for your new home based business idea you can go so far as to hire designers for your site.Advertising also means putting yourself out there and marketing your business all the time. Join networking groups and send out flyers. If it is affordable, you can place advertisements in newspapers and magazines. You do not need to do everything at once, as you need to stay within your budget, but always keep your eye on expanding your new home based business idea.Take your time to build up your new home based business idea right. You are probably fairly excited over the prospect of this new business venture, and you need to take that excitement and turn it into productivity to create the business you have in mind.Learn more about New Home Based Business Idea here. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://agexums.info/new-home-based-business-idea/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Why Do You Love SEO Learning?

After being involved in a number of these debates, it has become really obvious that the main problems are the facts that no two SEO companies are alike and there is no unified methodology. It’s very hard to make statements about the industry as a whole because it’s debatable what exactly ‘SEO’ is. Mix in the fact that most SEO companies keep their methodology and campaign strategies secret and we have a situation where every company is totally different with very different results.Fact 1 : There is no unified SEO methodology. SEO is actually defined by wikipedia as a process of improving traffic from SERPs to a site. Of course, HOW they do that is the real question and causes the debates.Fact 2 : The effectiveness of an SEO campaign depends on the site structure, site content, keywords, methodology used, and how popular the site is. A site cannot just rank for any random keyword. SEO is also not voodoo. It is logic, problem solving, and Web marketing mixed together. If your site provides no value to users, it probably won’t rank.Fact 3 : Some ‘SEOs’ do search engine optimization and some do search engine manipulation. Of course, it is all marketed as SEO. Unethical optimization provides results at any cost and is always short term (usually ends in a banned domain name). Ethical optimization opens up the site to the search engines and provides long term benefits.Fact 4 : Most SEO companies get paid whether or not your site gets any rankings. Unfortunately, this is the case with the industry. Most SEO companies implement A, B, and C and move on to the next client. Hopefully, the site ranks. If it doesn’t, they always have more clients.Fact 5 : Most SEO companies use both ethical and unethical inbound linking strategies.To maximize profits, it is very common for SEO companies to buy bulk links from India, links on spam/scraper web sites, or sell large directory submission packages. It is also common for SEO companies to place huge amounts of the contract into inbound linking to make up for the poor quality of the site optimization.I don’t think it is fair to characterize the industry as a whole without figuring out what is wrong with it and how SEO companies can overcome it. So how exactly do we determine what is good and bad about the industry? I have now been involved with the Web for over 10 years and, specifically, with the SEO industry for almost 4 years and I’ve seen the inner workings of major SEO companies and worked with clients who had been burned by their previous SEO campaigns. Combined with numerous Web postings and forum debates talking about the same basic problems, I’ve compiled a list of the most common issues.Problem 1: Responsibility for ResultsIt’s no secret that the vast majority of SEO companies take no responsibility for results. It is a fact that no SEO company can guarantee results (and if they do, they are lying to you). It is also a fact that the client is taking a risk by spending money with an SEO company that basically says ‘We’ll do what we can’. SEO companies simply guarantee they’ll do the work to ‘optimize’ the site, but without full disclosure of their methodology, what exactly is the client paying for? No other industry sells a product with no guarantees and no specific list of work that will be completed. Of course, SEO work is basically the sales of information and keeping the specifics of a methodology is important, but the combination of secrecy and no responsibility for results really makes SEO campaigns risky. So, how can an SEO company reduce the risk for the client and provide the best grade of service?Answer 1: Incentive Based PricingThe only real way to reduce the financial risk of the client is to share the risk. Through incentive-based pricing, the SEO company can charge a certain percentage of the total contract (say 70%) to cover their intellectual property and time while placing the rest of the contract price (remaining 30%) in incentives for success. Of course, incentives and their percentage of the contract would be totally relative depending on the campaign. This first step into sharing in the risk provides both reassurance to the client that the company believes in its methodology and places some of the financial burden of the campaign on the SEO company. At the moment, however, very few SEO companies are willing to share in the risk and charge the same price whether the client gets top rankings or no rankings at all (or possibly even lower rankings).Problem 2: Unethical OptimizationUnfortunately, unethical (or blackhat) optimization is still very prominent on the Web. It’s also unfortunate that ‘SEO’ has been mistakenly confused with ‘Blackhat SEO’. This is still the biggest problem for SEO companies. Saying that all SEO companies deal in blackhat optimization is like saying everyone who emails is a spammer. Blackhat optimization is not optimization at all…it is search engine manipulation. Because there is so much money tied to top rankings, there will always be a market for unethical SEO and search engine spam. Until companies realize what is ethical and unethical and stop supporting those blackhat SEO companies, they will continue to thrive. This makes the industry as a whole look bad and does not reflect the ethics of good SEO companies. Blackhat provides fast, short term results, but is never a good option in the long run.Answer 2: Ethical OptimizationThere is no quick and easy solution to blackhat optimization’s stain on the SEO industry. I would suggest that all marketing departments research optimization techniques and educate themselves on what techniques are unethical. No SEO company is going to say they do unethical optimization. It’s also not a good idea to immediately trust a company or product based simply on their rankings. Unethical optimization DOES provide rankings…just not for the long run.It would also be helpful if the major search engines would be more open and accessible to SEO companies. Currently, the major search engines and SEO companies do not deal with each other and have formed a sort of love-hate relationship. Because of this, many ethical SEOs have slowly moved into dark territory. Ethical optimization seeks to make sites more easily accessible to the engines and help to improve the engine’s search results. The problem is that the search engines mainly clump all SEO companies together the same way as uninformed users do: search engine manipulation. This is just not the case. Search engines do not want to reveal what they consider unethical because it would basically be providing a list of holes in their algorithms that blackhat SEOs would be able to manipulate further, but a defined list of ‘what not to do’ would provide a definitive list for businesses looking for an SEO company.Basic Rules of Ethical OptimizationAny campaign that does not abide by the following rules is dealing in unethical optimization techniques and should be avoided.1.) What the user sees and what the search engine sees should be exactly the same. Do not hide anything.2.) Your keywords (and the resulting optimization) should exactly reflect the content of the page.Keywords should always reflect what your site is about.3.) Do not build out pages exclusively for search engines. The site should always cater to both audiences (users and search engines). Catering to only users is why optimization is necessary. Catering only to search engines is optimization gone too far into blackhat.4.) Do not participate in manipulative inbound linking schemes like link farms, bulk links, triangle linking, or any other unethical manipulation of your Google PageRank or link authority. Inbound links should be relevant to the content of your site and you should always know who is linking to you and where your links come from.Problem 3: Assembly Line / Software SEOWith the growth of the SEO industry has also come the automation of SEO. The absolute first thing any prospective SEO client should know is that all effective SEO campaigns are custom. There is no checklist of items that will work exactly the same on every site. If the SEO company claims there is, then they are not doing full optimization and the campaign is minimal. A good optimization campaign optimizes the site architecture, text content, and code of the site. Assembly line SEO does not take into consideration the unique needs/design of the site and may even deal in blackhat optimization. SEO software especially should be looked at closely. There are really only two things SEO software could do that would work for any site: doorway pages (showing engines one thing and users a different thing; which is unethical) or a system of pages build exclusively for search engines (often called info or information pages and linked in an out of the way part of the page). Doorway pages are 100% unethical and info pages are deep in the gray area. Neither of those two methods address the architecture of the site, proper keyword analysis, or effective text content. The following links are examples of automated SEO software freely available on the Web. All links contain ‘nofollow’ to prevent the sites from getting inbound link credit from our site. These sites are NOT recommended by TreeHouse SEM.http://doorwaypagemaker.com/ – Doorway page system; UNETHICALhttp://www.doorway-wizard.com/ – Doorway page system; UNETHICALAnswer 3: Custom Campaign and Assessment’SEO Software’ may be cheap and affordable, but you get what you pay for. Any campaign that is going to slap on additional pages are simply sell you links is NOT an effective SEO campaign. Any SEO effort that simply has you add a few ‘optimized’ pages to your site is not going to be optimal. If you wanted to convert a street car into a race car, you don’t simply add racing strips to it. Don’t think that dumping a few pages on your site targeted to some random keywords is the same as a real SEO campaign.If your SEO company will not sit down and talk about the layout, architecture, and aim of your site, then it is not providing a top-end service. Remember that the vast majority of ‘SEO software’ either is for building doorway/landing pages or simply providing you with data about your site (data that is already free to everyone on the Web). Good SEO campaigns take into account both the user and the search engines…not one or the other. An SEO company should have a commanding understanding of user experience and search engine optimization and use these in combination to create a campaign that will provide the best ROI. The end goal should always be leads/sales. Bringing in piles of non-targeted traffic often leads to extremely high turn over rates and very low lead conversion.ConclusionDo your research. Find out what you want from an optimization campaign and then ask the right questions. Make sure that the sales representative you talk to knows what they are selling. If they do not, they are definitely not the person to get information from. A lot of SEO companies use hard sale tactics and the reps are less than knowledgeable about what they are selling. Ask the following questions and see what they have to say.1.) How do you assess keywords? If an SEO company simply optimizes for whatever keywords are sent to them by the client, the SEO campaign starts off on very shaky ground. Keyword analysis should be performed that takes into account the number of searches in all the major search engines and the relative competition for those terms. The site should also be compared to the keywords to see if they support each other.2.) Do you plan on building out pages specifically to house keywords? Landing pages and doorway pages are not effective long term SEO options. SEO companies like them because they do not have to touch the rest of the site and it’s very easy to simply add band aids instead of performing surgery.3.) Will my SEO campaign also help improve the user experience of the site? Proper architecture and usability goes hand in hand with SEO and helps increase ROI. You should want to bring in new traffic and convert it.4.) Does my revenue model affect my keyword selection and the optimization as a whole? Any SEO company that does not optimize based on the target audience is NOT providing the most effective campaign. An ecommerce site marketing to comparative shoppers will want to optimize heavily for product names and model numbers. An online magazine wanting to bring in recurring traffic will want to optimize for article topics and specific themes. Local companies will want to optimize for geo-targeted keywords.5.) I want to optimize my site, but do not want to change any of the existing content or layout…how would you go about this? Any SEO company that says they will simply add on landing pages or hide text is selling blackhat. This goes back to the earlier analogy. You are really saying that you have a car that you want to modify to be very fast, but do not want to modify the engine and the mechanic simply adds racking stripes and charges you full price. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://agexums.info/seo-a-scam-the-truth-about-the-industry/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel></rss> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
