What’s Happening around the Eminent SEO office…
Eminent SEO Gives Back
This month Eminent SEO donated to the United Nation Refugee Agency. The NNHCR helps the uprooted and stateless, protecting refugees and helping people restart their lives. To learn more about the cause and what you can do to help, visit them at http://www.unhcr.org

Eminent SEO Offices Get a Face Lift
Since we spend so much of our lives at the office, we thought it would be nice to spruce it up a bit. This month we had Painters Plus, a local Arizona painting company, come by and paint the outside of the office. It’s looking pretty snazzy and we are happy with the results. We love to support other local businesses, so if you are in Arizona and need a painter, these guys are affordable and do great work: http://paintersplusaz.com/

Good to Know in SEO:
As we reflect on what we’ve learned since 2012 about SEO, we feel it’s important to emphasis one very important change that every website owner should incorporate into your 2013 marketing strategies:
Anchor Text Distribution in Linking – If you are a current Eminent SEO client, then you have probably heard me talking about anchor text distribution and how important it is to pay attention to it this year. Traditionally, organic SEO marketers focused on targeting specific keywords in the anchor text of their inbound marketing strategies. Although keyword targeting remains a powerful strategy for improving your organic search engine rankings, the Google algorithm updates in 2012 have forced SEO’s to change the way they incorporate it into inbound linking campaigns. Overuse of any one exact match keyword phrase in your backlink index can result in a BIG red flag with Google. Instead, it’s more important to focus on anchor text diversity, creating a more organic (authentic) backlink index that contains mostly direct click, URL and branded anchor text as links.
If you have received an artificial link warning in your Google Webmaster tools and you are concerned you might have too many inbound links for a target keyword – call us! We can evaluate your backlink index, help you scrub your “bad links”, build new links using the appropriate anchor text distribution and get that warning removed!
Seriously that is so awesome about giving to the NNHCR. Congrats on the new paint job 🙂 Can’t wait to see when I’m in town 🙂 In regards to this post “Facebook posts that include the word “should”, “would” or “who” get more comments.
(source: Hubspot)” That is so true! I am always asking questions with WHO and it ends up getting so many comments. GREAT POST!
Thanks Tatiana – I love stats!! Also, the office looks great, I can’t wait for you to see it!
