It is very important to know how to get better search engine rankings, withsearch engine optimization and is a significant factor in being successful with your websites. Most people use search engines to find what they’re looking for, Google is the leading search engine.  If you want people to find your pages on the web, you must use search engine optimization if you want to get high search engine rankings.  These 8 tips will help you achieve that.

Develop good content!
As the saying goes, content is king.  The importance of having high quality, relevant content that is updated regularly cannot be understated.  If you have a quality website, it makes all the other steps easier.

Write articles
Submitting articles has become one of the most popular methods to drive traffic to your website.  Not only do the articles generate traffic, they provide non-reciprocal links, which are the most valuable kind of links according to Google’s ranking system. Make sure the content is relevant to your site, and that the quality of writing is as high as what is on the website; these articles are your best advertisement for what your site has to offer.

Use smart, targeted keywords
Keywords are the words and phrases that people type into a search engine to find what they’re looking for. The keywords you choose will define your site and who see it.  Know your niche and who you want to reach.  Research your target audience, research your competitors, both successful and unsuccessful and learn both from their successes and mistakes. You can also maximize your keywords by optimizing different pages within your website to different keyword phrases.

Use directories
Directories are a fast and easy way to get non-reciprocal links. There are hundreds of directories that you can submit your URL to for free.  It is time-consuming, but this search engine optimization tool is worth it for the traffic it builds and how it will improve your Google rank.  Most directories are edited and maintained, and your posting must be approved.  While the sheer number of directories may seem daunting, try applying to 5 per day – you’ll have over 1500 listings after a year.

Use pay-per-click advertising
Pay-per-click advertising is not the steal it once was, with popularity of the search engine optimization tool driving prices up, but it can still be a valuable and cost-effective method of improving your ranking when used properly.

Don’t forget your meta tags and HTML code
While optimizing your website content for the proper keyword density is an obvious choice, don’t forget about the text that you don’t see, but Google does. Good search engine optimization includes adjusting all of your meta tags and HTML code to also reflect your chosen keywords. If you have a website about dog breeds, why label a picture “photo 1” when you can label it “purebred Yorkshire Terrier at play”. These are a great way to up your keyword density without making the content sound unnatural.

Get a site map
An easy way to make the most of your search engine optimization is to ad a site map to your website. You can either have an actual webpage that can be used by both your viewers and Google, or you can also use an XML file, which, while not visible to the public, will also Google to easily spider your site. Google.com offers free tools and scripts to help you easily build a site map.

The last point, number 8 is the most important: TAKE ACTION.
All the reading in the world, all the research in the world means nothing if we do not take action; massive concerted action using a plan that includes all of the other 7 points.

About two and a half years ago I took action, I spent my few dollars of earnings from my online ‘business’ and joined PortalFeeder. Now, I have a different life, plenty of money, a lifestyle I enjoy and some of the ‘toys’ that I love. I work in PortalFeeder as a mentor, helping members to attain their own goals. Please, come take action and see just what you and PortalFeeder can do with your online business!

Traffic generating software: do you use Yahoo?

Yahoo provides a traffic generating software that can put a site or company’s ad in their sites that can be shown when certain keywords are inputted. Providing ads that could direct potential consumers and costumers to their site would allow them to have an increase in traffic as well as sales.

Yahoo offers a chance for any company to increase their traffic by using their services. With more people being aware of your site, there would be more traffic and visitors to your site given the chance to view your pages as well as your products. With even a small percentage of successful sales, with a high traffic volume this could still be a substantial figure for your company.

Getting a consistent substantial flow of website visitors is every company’s goal. Many methods are devised and utilized to ensure that there would be more people to boost the sales and to be aware of the existence of such a product or service. Website visitors are potentially the life blood of your internet based business.

Yahoo/Overture utilizes the same principle as Google’s Adwords. In fact, they are very similar to each other that they use keyword and keyword phrase searches and to determine which ads to show per search. When a person types in a keyword or keyword phrase to search for anything, the search engines gives out the results in a page. Then at the right side of the page, you will see selected ads that have paid for their ads to be viewed with certain keywords and keyword phrases searched.

For example, Lets say you run a car parts retail/wholesale site. You choose keywords that can prompt or trigger your ads to be shown in the page when a keyword is searched. When a search engine user types in Honda Accord, your ad may come up if you have designated that as one of your keywords. You don’t need to fully optimize your site with Search Engine Optimization methods and techniques.

While some labor so hard to make their site one of the high ranking sites per keyword search, you get the chance to be on the top of the list or at least in the first page of a search result increasing your chance to be clicked on. With that, you drive traffic and website visitors to your site a lot faster.

You will have to pony up some cash when using this service though. There are different ways Yahoo/Overture will charge you. It may be in the number of Keywords or Keyword phrases your ad uses or in the many times your ad is clicked on. Others offer many other services like having your ad show up not only in the search engine pages but also with some third party sites.

Third party sites support ads that have the same theme or niche as them. With more areas your ad is shown, you increase the chances of people knowing about your site or product. With more website visitors you increase the sales of your site which makes your investment with your ads a wise one.

With so many competitions in the internet based businesses, it is necessary to take a huge leap forward from the pack by advertising. Yahoo/Overture will be a great place to start. Many have utilized their services and have reaped the rewards of this decision. It’s a marketing strategy that will increase your website visitors as well as increase your sales resulting to profit. 

It takes money to make money, while there are some methods that are basically low cost or free, using a marketing service such as what Yahoo/Overture offers will provide results faster and on a larger scale. Many businesses have learned this the hard way, don’t be counted with them.

Get Ranked For Any Keyword You Want With This Legitimate Search Engine “Loophole”…

December 26, 2008 by · 1 Comment 

Everyone would like to have their site rank well in Google.

And why not? Not only can Google send you a torrent of free traffic - it’s also highly targeted, and it’s one of the guaranteed ways to drive business.

The problem is, that exact same way of thinking is shared with thousands of your direct competitors.

This creates an environment where you’ll always be fighting, kicking and scratching to stay ranked in Google - along with the ever present fear that your livelihood is only one “algorithm update” away from vanishing.

And that’s if you are able to even get ranked for any decent keyword, to begin with…

In fact, only the biggest, most-established authority websites can reliably see consistent traffic from Google. And even then, their rankings fluctuate constantly - several times a day, in some cases.

The fact is - it’s getting harder and harder for the “little guy” to get any kind of meaningful web presence on the web these days.

Getting website ranking is almost impossible unless you’ve got a major promotional budget and some time on your hands to “wait” for your domain to become trusted (Google favors older domains). And advertising with pay-per-click ads isn’t affordable like it used to be.

Search engine listing has finally become what everyone feared it would - a game reserved for big business.

But what if there was still a way to legally rank for keywords with tons of traffic?

And what if you could do this without having to spend months and even years building up an authority site to do so?

In fact - what if you could continuously create one-page minisites that could rapidly rank in the top 3 spots (consistently) for basically any keyword you like within a matter of a week or so?

Can this really be done?

YES.

But not with Google.

It’s happening as we speak, right now, on MSN.com

Now - before you think it - yes, I know, MSN doesn’t have nearly the same reach that Google does. But, it still does receive millions and millions of search users daily.

After all - MSN is the default home-page for anyone who first uses Internet Explorer.

And, to put it in perspective, which would drive more traffic?

Occupying the #1 ranking for your most desirable keyword target on MSN?

Or being on page 5 of Google’s results occupying the #47 spot?

Sadly, it actually takes more effort to make it to the 47th spot in Google than it does to literally dominate in MSN.

How does this work?

Like I said - forget about Google.

Focus on something that you can actually WIN with, and win big time!
