Local SEO Generates Local Traffic and Sales

Local SEO

SEO is not always some dark mysterious wizardry.  Many web properties undertake SEO in an effort to help increase their national – or perhaps international – visibility online. Other companies are only concerned about attracting customers in their neighborhood, something local search experts says is much easier.

Attracting local search traffic is much easier than optimizing a website for a national or international audience. Local Search efforts often pay off immensely. In the last couple of years, all the major search engines have added local results to their global results pages. Google maps and the local business center has replaced the yellow pages our parents used.

The best part of this type of SEO? Local SEO is considerably less expensive! for a one time optimization fee, or maybe an ongoing SEM marketing campaign, than it is to pay for top spot on a nationally competitive keyword. This type of optimization works best for brick and mortar businesses and also for service providers.

Many local companies saw an increase in search engine optimization (SEO) earlier this year without doing anything to their websites when Google made local search the default setting for result pages.ADNFCR-1513-ID-19275589-ADNFCR Imagine what you can do if you work on local keywords to bring your products to focus in local search results.

Quibids.com Review – Another Scam

QuiBids.com Review – As Seen on TV. Quibids is the largest penny auction website currently operating in the United States. Penny auctions have been around for awhile, but have only recently gotten lots of attention from people outside of the penny auction community.

The way penny auctions work is that you are only able to bid a single penny at any time during the auction.  However, at QuiBids.com, you must purchase each 1 cent bid for 60 cents.  So an iPad that retails for $499 but was won for the grand total of  2,254 one cent bids (or $22.54) which actually cost 60 cents each means that the iPad just sold for $1352.40.

Though the person who wins the item usually has paid less than retail for what they have received, citing $22.54 as the winning bid is extremely misleading.

So is QuiBids a Scam?

All penny auctions, regardless of reputation, are a bad idea and should be avoided.

First of all, QuiBids.com and other penny auction sites require people to pay for the option to bid, but don’t allow them to bid in increments of their choosing.  This means that QuiBids is forcing the price up and profiting all the while.

QuiBids attempts to redeem themselves by offering you the “By It Now” option, which is when you can take the total amount of your failed bids and apply that toward the retail price of the item you were bidding on.  Say you bid $80 total on an iPod Nano that cost $150.  For the remaining $70, Quibids will sell you a Nano.  Well, $70 plus tax, fees, and shipping and handling.

This means that if you get the item from them, the manufacturer warranty is void – if it breaks within the first 60 days, you will not be able to get it repaired or exchanged. If you have a problem within the first 30 days, QuiBids will refund the final auction price you paid, but not a single dime of the bids it took to win the auction.

It’s much better to stick to legitimate auction sites like eBay, instead of wasting your money trying to beat a computer program or bot.
