Why is Owen Walcher an Internet Guru?

by: Internet Guru Owen Walcher
What is a guru, and how do I come to be called an Internet Guru and SEO Expert?
Indeed, a guru is one who is an expert in their field. Looking back at the origin of words, we see that a Guru is one who is regarded as having great knowledge, wisdom and authority in a certain area, and who uses it to guide others (teacher).In sanskrit gu means darkness & ru means light.

So, I bring things from darkness into the light. Or I enlighten you about the Internet. And I know about all aspects of the Internet, not just one aspect like so many self proclaimed experts. And it is with this breadth and depth of knowledge that I can offer services to get you onto the first page of Google results, often for less that you are paying for a yellow pages advertisement.

Are you Looking for an SEO Expert?

Anyone can tweak your website until it is so over optimized the search engines see when you fix the word then to than. Yet most web masters fail at the most basic of website tuning tasks; that of page titles and page file names. I can fix the titles, but if your webmaster does not understand SEO, the will not use SEO friendly file names. So a quick check on how much your web master knows: look at the file names of your site. Are they keyword rich, and separated by dashes, NOT under_scores. If you have a background in programming, you know that search engines treat words_with_underscores as variable names, and do not parse the words within, where as words-with-dashes are easily understood by even the most simple search engines as strings of words.

According to Internet Guru Owen Walcher, Internet Marketing is a lot more than simple Search Engine Optimization, common referred to as SEO.

What is SEO, really? For most, it means coming up first in Search Engines. That is all fine, and having a first page listing on google is worth a lot. But how much more is it worth if you dominate the entire first page of Google results? And can that be lumped into SEO, or is there more to Internet Marketing?

More and more traffic comes to websites vis Social Networks, so you need to have a social network marketing strategy. The biggest advantage to this form of online marketing is that is it viral in nature and based on personal recommendations, so the good word about your business moves fast.  How far it moves depends on the footprint of your network (such as size of your email marketing list), and how fast it moves depends on how excited folks are about your product.

At the end of the day, the best long term approach to creating a sustainable web site is to build quality back links, which is definitely an SEO practice, referred to as off-site optimization. If you are looking to build your brand, business, or online presence, then the SEO and Internet Marketing Services offered by Ask A Friend Publishing will do the trick, at a fraction of the price the big boys want to charge you. No spamming here!

Make sure you follow the right steps in building your online business.  Step one is to have a solid performing, search engine optimized web site.  It always surprises me how many websites are just not tuned to perform well in the search engines. Shame on your web masters, who are telling you everything is OK because your analytics tells you that your traffic is growing – no doubt! but is it growing as fast as the Internet, or your competition? Do you own the entire first page of google results for your primary keywords? What about your competitors keywords?

It is time to step out of the box, and talk to someone who wants to help you grow your business, because we are serial entrepreneurs ourselves, having built and sold many businesses – it is what we do for fun! and profit, of course.
