Can software solve the SEO dilemma?
Are profitable, top search ranks possible without the help of an experienced search engine optimisation company?Lets consider this: can a software package or online miracle site touting testimonials and grandeur guarantees of success elevate your online presence enough to really increase sales?Unfortunately, unless the software or miracle website were able to research your market, find hidden niches within it, author intriguing, creative, relevant and keyword laden content, house it in a framework that meshes precisely with that content, dissect and analyse your ranking competition and apply that statistical data within the aforementioned tasks (like quality SEO companies), you'll be using that money back guarantee!! This means that search engine optimisation requires that creative human component with the backing of an established, SEO / SEM organisation used to delivering ROI! In a nutshell, there is no some miracle software package that can optimises your website!

Protect Your Brand With SEO Research
Feature article By Paul J. Bruemmer
In today's competitive environment, many advertisers resort to using competitor trademark names as keywords in paid-search advertising. These trademark names appear in the search engine results pages for Google, Yahoo! and affiliates and partners when you buy Google AdWords or Overture Precision Match sponsored listings. Therefore, it's possible for your competitors to drive substantial traffic to their web sites by virtue of your trademark name, using your reputation to attract visitors.
A fine example of this is the sticky situation with Google AdWords. In an Internetnews.com article titled "Google Adwords Under Further Trademark Scrutiny," Google was quoted thusly:
"As stated in our Terms and Conditions, advertisers are responsible for the keywords and ad text that they choose to use. We encourage trademark owners to resolve their disputes directly with our advertisers, particularly because the advertisers may have similar advertisements on other sites."
I can certainly understand Google's position. Can you imagine what would happen if it were forced to reverse its policy allowing advertisers to buy keywords containing trademark terms belonging to others? This would severely impact Google's revenue, and no doubt would require exhaustive efforts on their part to prevent such activities from occurring.
It's interesting to note that originally, Google AdWords did not sell trademarked keywords. However, it currently sells trademarked keywords in the U.S. and Canada (but not internationally) with the proviso that the trademark name can't be used in the ad copy itself.
