There’s hope for the ‘little guys’ in the search engine ranking game, even if they can’t tell the difference between the title and keyword meta tag!

You can achieve high rankings for important keywords simply by applying certain rules that stand the test of time and even technology, the number one rule is really to., help the search engines provide relevant search results!

How do you do this? I’ll reveal the ‘secrets’ soon.

While I’m far from being an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) expert and am just sharing experiences here, I’ve achieved some phenomenal results by following these
basic rules and without resorting to ‘tricks’. Importantly, these are rankings
that last.

I’m not suggesting you shouldn’t learn about SEO or use genuine software that helps, in fact you should.

For example (at this time of writing), here are my rankings for www .Marketing-Make-Money. com in Yahoo alone (remember these are extremely competitive keywords):

‘Make money online’ | rank: #1 of 33.9
‘Make money’ | rank: #27 of 85.4 million
‘Web marketing’ | rank: #4 of 113 million
‘Web marketing tips’ | rank: #6 of 10.2

How did I achieve such incredible rankings without being some SEO guru or even obsessively optimizing my site?

Recall the number one rule? It’s to help the search engines provide relevant search
results.

Now I honestly believe there are only two MAIN things which support this rule and in
the process, reward your website with the high rankings you desire.

These two things are Keyword Rich Content and Targeted Back Links which we’ll talk
about later…

Here then are 7 powerful secrets you can use to model your website after to explode
your high search engine rankings!

Step 1: Determine Highly Searched Keywords
Determine highly searched and targeted keywords/keyword phrases related to your
site and put them into a list. Here’re the tools to use.

Step 2: Register Keyword Rich Domain Names
While there’ve been contrasting arguments about whether having keywords in your domain helps, I strongly feel it does. The same goes for dashes between words in the domain.

Step 3: Use Your Targeted Keywords In Your Copy
Use the list of keywords in step 1 within your website copy, especially in the title, headline and first paragraph. The important thing is to make them flow smoothly within the context of the copy so prospects will not find it weird.

Step 4: Insert Keyword Rich Relevant Content
Next, build up your site’s content with relevant topics containing your keywords. Don’t worry, here are some ways to get instant content:

Step 5: Aggressively Acquire Targeted Back Links
This is the second most important (some say it’s the first) factor to note after targeted and relevant content.

Step 6: Hand Submit Your Site To The Top Directories and Search Engines
There’s no point in using those ‘submit to millions’ services as only a few search engines really matter.

Using those services may actually cause your site to be penalized by these major
engines.

Step 7: Tune Your Site For Maximum Optimization

The final step would be to constantly monitor and analyze your website traffic against rankings. This is so you can review and tweak for further improvement in your
rankings.

I hope this article will prove highly useful to you. Do not be scare away by SEO, it’s simple once you follow the above system. While these steps are not everything you can do, it’ll be enough to get your site ranked very well for the targeted keywords you chose.

Again, remember the number one rule of giving relevant content and establishing good back links. Help the search engines provide relevant results for their customers and your rankings will automatically skyrocket to the top!

If you are setting up a website, follow these simple rules to improve search engine rankings of your site. You can also follow these techniques if your website is not ranked high in search engines for certain keywords. Concentrate on the home page of your site and once you learn the techniques, you will be able to apply them to the other pages of your site that will have multiple high ranking pages.

1. Find keywords (or key phrases) relevant to your website. Go to the overture keyword selector tool (type key phrase overture inventory in Google) and check the popularity of the keywords you want to use. Avoid highly popular keywords. Highly popular keywords are very competitive and the least popular keywords are search engine traffic starved.

Select a dozen keywords and key phrases from the middle of the list. This is a very important exercise and you should spend at least a couple of hours, if not more, researching different keywords. While you are researching your keywords, check your competitors by doing a search in a couple of popular search engines like Google, Yahoo, etc., using those keywords. Keep a record of your competitors’ urls and other information because you don’t want to waste your time doing the same search again in the near future.

2. Use the keywords you selected into the meta tags of your home page. Meta tags are located in the head section of a web page. Go to one of your competitor’s website and select View and then Source from your web browser’s menu to view the html source of the web page. You will see the meta elements.

The two important meta tags are keywords and description meta tags. Don’t leave them blank. You can list your keywords, separated by comma, in the keywords meta tag. Construct a catchy description using your keywords for the description meta tag.

3. Use the keywords in your title tag. The text you use in the title tag appears in the title bar of the web browser. The title tag should be less than 64 characters long. Again, the key is to use a meaningful title using the keywords. Don’t just make a laundry list of your keywords for the title tag.

The title tag and your meta description may end up in many search engine listings. So, spend sometime to make these two elements interesting, meaningful, and relevant to your site.

4. Use the keywords in top heading (h1) tags of your page. Use one keyword (or a key phrase) for each h1 tag. Use these h1 tags for the headings of your contents.

5. In the home page content, use bold, using the strong html element, to highlight some of your keywords.

6. Italicize some of the keywords in your page.

7. Use the keywords in alt tags of images. You should always use the alt tag for all images.

8. Encourage others to use the keywords for text anchors when they link back to your site. Better yet, publish your own short link text with keyword anchors, bold and italicized key phrases and give it away for link exchanges.

9. If possible, use the keywords in your domain name. Try different arrangements of the keywords to come up with an available domain name that you can register.

10. If you are using php or asp or any other web programming language for your dynamic website, make your url search engine friendly using url rewrite techniques. Search the phrase url rewrite in Google to know more about url rewrite.

Keep in mind these simple rules every time you want to launch a website. Spending a few days upfront in the preparation of your site will pay off in the long run with better search engine rankings.

As mentioned in previous posts, using blogs to generate additional traffic for your primary site can pay huge dividends. Just “doing it” can mean significant increases in traffic, but what you really want to do here is – as in your main site – generate qualified traffic.

Post Writing – Content Creation Discipline

By that, I mean you want to draw in people who want exactly what you offer. That requires a disciplined approach to content creation;
– Research and consider carefully what your post is about, and know why you are writing it – the objective!
– Identify the keyword phrase/s that people are using to find information relevant to the topic you will write on.
– Ensure you place keywords in the post title, and early in the first paragraph, with some additional emphasis on the words, such as bold / italics.
– Include “exact match” keyword phrases throughout the body of the article.
– Add tags/slug i.e. a short list of specific relevant keywords – this may be used in the post page Keyword meta-tag.
– Write a concise Excerpt, loaded with keyword phrases – this may be used in the post page Description meta-tag.
– Use the Spell Checker!!! This article may be the first introduction a potential client has with your business.

Remember that “You NEVER get a second chance to create a first impression!”

Business Blogs Should Inform & Educate

In a business blog, which is there to inform & educate potential clients about aspects of your business, try to provide useful information, without a blatant sales pitch. By all means, encourage readers to “Inquire about Free Personal Advice” or “Contact us for More Information” but don’t overdo the sales pitch. Your goal is to convey your depth of knowledge and experience, and build credibility.

Blog Search Engine Optimisation

To maximise the penetration of your Blog posts, it is not sufficient to just write it and forget it. You need to ensure that your Business Blog is properly “optimised” to produce unique, accurately categorised, and clearly labelled content. This requires a SEO package implementation on your blog to ensure that your Posts, static Pages and Category pages are UNIQUE! We think WordPress is the fastest and easiest blog platform to customize. It also has a comprehensive array of free SEO options, and following comments are specific to WordPress.

This is best done dynamically, with installation of plugins that provide automation of;
– HTML Page URLs – using mod_rewrite to generate verbose, keyword-rich page file names.
– Page Title Tags – if you write good post titles, these can be used verbatim in the Title Tag.
– Page Description Meta-Tag – uses the post Excerpt, or the first 20 words of 1st paragraph.
– Page Keyword Meta-Tag – used the post Tag or Slug to generate keywords.

Accurate Content Cataloguing Pays Dividends

The combined impact of attention to detail in posting generation and publishing, plus Search Engine Optimisation finesse on the page production, will deliver dramatic improvements to blog traffic. At the same time, it wil ensure that visitors get exactly what they were seeking due to the resulting accuracy of your content cataloguing efforts.

That will encourage them to bookmark the site, or specific page, and to come back looking for additional details.

11. Don’t use frames in your web pages. Many search engines will not crawl framed pages. For a search engine spider to crawl a page, you need a clickable url. When you use a frame, the target url is not clickable.

12. Avoid fancy Javascript menus. If you use a Javascript menu, provide a html text menu with clickable links at the bottom of your web page. Use include files for Javascripts.

13. Provide 301 redirections if you move your pages or domain after they have been indexed by the search engines. Don’t use meta refresh or other Javascript tricks. Search for the phrase ‘search engine friendly 301 redirect’ in a search engine to get more information on this topic.

14. If you use flash in a page, provide a html version of the page and hide the flash page from the search engine crawler using a robots.txt page.

Keep in mind these simple rules every time you want to launch a website. Spending a few days upfront in the preparation of your site will pay off in the long run with better search engine rankings.

Search engine optimization computer software is computer software that assists get your webpage improved search engine positioning. Some search engine optimization computer software operates by optimizing on-page components, such as meta-tag information and facts, internal linking structure, and suitable use of Title and H1 tags.

Other Search engine optimization tools support get your web-site ranked greater by making 1-way inbound links with suitable anchor text. Each components play a roll in receiving best ranking, but which is way more valuable

The answer calls for an understanding of how the search engines like Google identify which web pages should certainly rank highest in their search engine final results pages (SERPs) and how Search engine optimization computer software is made use of to get greater ranking.

Google leads the market in targeted traffic for search queries. Why is Google quantity 1, and why should certainly you concentrate on carrying out the factors that Google likes in receiving greater SERP ranking

Rather simple. Considering ultimately what Google is carrying out now will come to be what the other search engines do later. Just appear at the new Yahoo Search Promoting platform and how closely it matches Googles Adwords plan to see how Yahoo is attempting to play catch-up.

Google has an army of PhDs operating about the clock to remain quantity 1 in the search engine home business. They remain quantity 1 by delivering the most relevant search final results.

When an individual searches for a keyword or keyword phrase in Google, baby clothes for example, the best ranked web-site that Google displays should certainly be the web-site most relevant to that search phrase. If Google provides many people what they want, then the individual needing to acquire a thing on the online will preserve coming back.

This is Googles aim in determining web-site rank. And search engine optimization computer software can support.

Google employs a thing akin to Artificial Intelligence to make these choices rather of seeking at every single web-site manually.

A couple of years ago, Google purchased a provider that had a patent on what is identified as Latent Symantic Indexing – a fancy way of saying there is way more than 1 way to say a thing about a subject.

For example, baby clothes could possibly also be referred to as baby clothing, clothes for babies, toddler clothes, baby apparel, and a few other synonyms.

A webpage that is an professional or authority on the topic of baby clothes would employ these other terms on its web-site pages and this is 1 of the components that Google makes use of to figure out if a webpage should certainly rank very.

Do not think me Attempt looking Google for any keyword with a tilde symbol in front of the keyword (that is the small squiggly line to the left of the 1 crucial on your keyboard). All of the search engine confirmed synonyms for a given keyword will seem in bold on the search result listings.

There made use of to be a time when just putting the words baby clothes a few hundred occasions on your page would trick the search engines into ranking your web-site very. Not anymore. Google makes use of this co-occurrence of various phrases with comparable meanings on the page to identify if your web-site is an authority on the topic you are attempting to rank for.

A further factor Google looks at is the way pages on your web-site link together. If your web-site is a plate of spaghetti in terms of how pages link, Google discounts your web-site for lack of getting organized, which translates to getting much less relevant.

Why should certainly page linking influence this Considering portion of what makes a web-site relevant is what some call Theme Density. Basically put, if you have a web-site about baby clothes, then you shouldnt have pages about cell phones and blueray dvd players. And if you do, Google determines that you are not exceptionally tightly themed about the term baby clothes.

In addition, there are most subcategories of infant clothes that an authority web-site should certainly talk about. For example, infant infant clothes, toddler infant clothes, pregnancy infant clothes, and possibly even baby accessories.

By organizing pages in your web-site about these sub-themes, also named Silos (or mini-web pages), and keeping pages inside every single Silo tightly themed for every single subcategory, then your web-site looks like it knows what it is talking about. Search engine computer software and search engine tools should certainly do this for you.

Regular Search engine optimization teaches that getting lots of inbound links, in particular links with the most important keyword in the anchor text, is the most valuable factor in receiving high web-site ranking. For example, if a further web-site links to your web-site with the link text baby clothes rather of cell phones, then Google makes use of this inbound link with to enhance your rankings.

Yes, this is nonetheless correct. But not all Search engine optimization computer software is not equal.

Given two web pages with equal numbers of inbound links, the web-site that has properly-structured internal linking, tight theme relevance across pages, tightly focused silos, and synonyms for a keyword in the page content material will outperform a web-site that does not.

And it gets even improved! The evidence is mounting that suitable Silo structure, theme relevance and page linking will basically TRUMP inbound links. Do not think me Check out the zero cost PDF report with documented case studies proving the above at this web-site: http://www.themematic.com/themasterplanprimer.pdf.

Search engine optimization computer software that optimizes your web-site for on-page components is the initially step in receiving best search engine ranking. And if your web-site follows the above Silo Structure and Theme Density principals, then rising ranking with off-page components like 1-way inbound links becomes exponentially a lot easier.
