======Carpet Padding the Biggest Scam======
Customers and flooring companies lose on this one about half the time. A customer will buy a certain type of padding from a flooring company that they want installed with their new carpet. The [[http://texasbestflooringcompany.com/ Flooring Company]] then takes the customer’s order and provides the correct ordered padding with new carpet to their contracted carpet installer. Carpet installers get paid 2.50 a yard or .28 cents a square foot to install carpet. If the home is empty (no furniture) then they get paid less; about 1.50 a yard to 2.00 a yard or .16 cents or .22 cents. The carpet installers that get paid .16 cents a SF are 90% of the time illegal immigrants and property management companies for large apartment complexes usually get away with paying this amount to theses installers since when they recarpet an apartment the tenant moved out already.
This being said most carpet installer has an incentive to steal from the home owner and flooring company.
=====Scam One: =====
The carpet installer never removes the old pad from the customer’s home for the new carpet install. The carpet installer then takes the customers new pad they were supposed to install and resells it after the job on the black market. A typical roll of 6lb or 8lb carpet padding is 270sf and sells on the black market for $35-$45 a roll. Home Depot and other stores sell this same padding for $175 a roll; 8lb padding sells for $220 a roll. The installer makes instant profit. So let’s do the math. A carpet installer is paid .28 cents a sf on a normal home owner’s install of 12x125sf roll of carpet. That means they will make $420.00. That same job requires 5.5 or 6 rolls of carpet padding to do the job. 6 rolls of 6lb padding can sell on the street for $210.00 at the lowest bidders buying price. Or to put it in layman’s terms some carpet installers never install your new padding you paid for and sell it for an overall increase in job profit of 50%.
=====Golden Rule: =====
If you’re buying a new house or it’s your current house be in the house and make sure the carpet installers change out the old carpet pad. The customers that usually get ripped off on this scam can’t be home or present for the installation and no one ever checks or pulls up new carpet to see if the old pad was changed out.
=====Scam Two: =====
The customer pays for an 8lb pad that cost considerably more than a 6lb or 4lb pad and the carpet installer installs a cheap 4lb or 6lb pad in the customers home and sells the 8lb pad on the street after the job is completed. Most carpet installers have storage units out in town that they store old pad from the jobs they do. One roll left over from one job and another roll left over from a different job adds up. Carpet installer are always ready to switch out 6 or more rolls of expensive 8lb padding with cheaper padding they have stored somewhere else.
=====Golden Rule:=====
Check the padding that shows up at your home on the day of installation make sure it’s the pad you paid for and watch to make sure that pad is the pad that is installed.

Deletions:
=====• Click-Depth=====
Our general recommendation is that the more competitive and challenging a keyword term/phrase is to rank for, the higher it should be in a site's internal architecture (and thus, the fewer clicks from the home page it should take to reach that URL).
=====• Number/Percentage of Internal Links=====
More linked-to pages tend to higher rankings and thus, for competitive terms, it may help to link to these pages from a greater number/percentage of pages on a site.
=====• Links in Content vs. Permanent Navigation=====
It appears that Google and the other engines are doing more to recognize location on the page as an element of link consideration. Thus, employing links to pages in the Wikipedia-style (in the body content of a piece) rather than in permanent navigation may potentially provide some benefit. Don't forget, however, that Google only counts the first link to a page that they see in the HTML
=====• Link Location in Sidebars & Footers=====
Recent patent applications, search papers and experience from inside SEOmoz and many practitioners externally suggests that Google may be strongly discounting links placed in the footer, and, to a lesser degree, in the sidebar(s) of pages. Thus, if you're employing a link in permanent navigation, it may pay to use the top navigation (above the content) for SEO purposes. Major search engines prefer those links which are located into minimum 100+ words paragraph. These kind of links never hurt you ranking.
======Page Architecture======
=====• Keyword Location =====
We advise that important keywords should, preferably, be featured in the first few words (50-100, but hopefully even sooner) of a page's text content. The engines do appear to have some preference for pages that employ keywords sooner, rather than later, in the text.
=====• Content Structure =====
Some practitioners swear by the use of particular content formats (introduction, body, examples, conclusion OR the journalistic style of narrative, data, conclusion, parable) for SEO, but we haven't seen any formal data suggesting these are valuable for higher rankings and thus feel that whatever works best for the content and the visitors is likely ideal.
Why Don't We Always Obey These Rules?
That answer is relatively easy. The truth is that in the process of producing great web content, we sometimes forget, sometimes ignore and sometimes intentionally disobey the best practices laid out above. On-page optimization, while certainly important, is only one piece of a larger rankings puzzle:
(FYI - The new ranking factors survey data is set to release very, very soon) It most certainly pays to get the on-page, keyword-targeting pieces right, but on-page SEO, in my opinion, follows the 80/20 rule very closely. If you get the top 20% of the most important pieces (titles, URLs, internal links) from the list above right, you'll get 80% (maybe more) of the value possible in the on-page equation.
=====Best Practices for Ranking #1=====
Curiously, though perhaps not entirely surprisingly to experience SEOs, the truth is that on-page optimization doesn't necessarily rank first in the quest for top rankings. In fact, a list that walks through the process of actually getting that first position would look something more like:
1. Accessibility - content engines can't see or access cannot even be indexed; thus crawl-ability is foremost on this list.
2. Content - you need to have compelling, high quality material that not only attracts interest, but compels visitors to share the information. Virility of content is possibly the most important/valuable factor in the ranking equation because it will produce the highest link conversion rate (the ratio of those who visit to those who link after viewing).
3. Basic On-Page Elements - getting the keyword targeting right in the most important elements (titles, URLs, internal links) provides a big boost in the potential ability of a page to perform well.
4. User Experience - the usability, user interface and overall experience provided by a website strongly influences the links and citations it earns as well as the conversion rate and browse rate of the traffic that visits.
5. Marketing - I like to say that "great content is no substitute for great marketing." A terrific marketing machine or powerful campaign has the power to attract far more links than content may "deserve," and though this might seem unfair, it's a principle on which all of capitalism has functioned for the last few hundred years. Spreading the word is often just as important (or more so) than being right, being honest or being valuable (just look at the political spectrum).
6. Advanced/Thorough On-Page Optimization - applying all of the above with careful attention to detail certainly isn't useless, but it is, for better or worse, at the bottom of this list for a reason; in our experience, it doesn't add as much value as the other techniques described.
As always, I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences about the specific recommendations above and the general concept of the "perfectly" optimized page.
======Summary of Post ======
On-page Optimization is equally important as off-page is. So try to make sure that your On-Page is complete before going onto Off-Page. King content is the king of SERP. Try to update your site with king content on regular basis because this practice increase your site pages which cause increase in worth and at the end help your SERP. There are almost more than two hundred factors of SEO it’s difficult to explain all of those in one post. I have explained few of On-Page factors if you guys follow these properly you guys will defiantly find good result for your sites. Best of luck for all of your projects sincerely need your feedback and suggestion.

The major difference between IntroMedic's MicroCam and other [[WirelessEndoscopeCamera Capsule Endoscopes]] is its transmission technology. It does not use a radio transmitter used by competitors that requires an antenna and pulsing signals, but Instead, it takes advantage of the human body as a conductor to send data from the capsule to a receiving device that can be worn, thus it has a longer battery life and a smaller size.
