The basics of SEO
Every day I get asked about getting my websites to rank better but also asked about getting more traffic to your site.
There’s no point in having a website that has the best sales letter, 7 part mini-course, built in affiliate program and what-nots if the the site doesn’t get enough traffic.
If you have traffic, you can sell just about anything you want.. Traffic is king!
Things to make sure your website has to make it rank high in the search engines :
1. A keyword optimized title. Find your niches hottest keyword and make it the title of your site.
2. If possible use the keyword in your domain name
3. make sure you have a killer website description. It should be a “mini” headline for your site. Someone will read it on the search engine and should be moived to click on your link and come visit your site.
4. make sure you have a keyword description tag. NOTE: Don’t use more than 10-12 keywords and the keywords MUST appear on your page. Don’t go into keyword stuffing, its a “red flag’ for search engines!!
5. Make sure your site has lots of links coming into it.. I mean LOTS!!! Don’t get too hung up on the whole link relevance myth. Just lots of links from other ranked webpages will give your site a tremendous bost.
6. make sure that at least your top 5 keywords (based on keyword research, not what you think your customers search for) appear on your website . Otherwise you will never get anywhere.
Keep doing the above 6 steps and you will be well and truely on your way to better search engine traffic..
Till next time..
