Wouldn't it be nice to receive hundreds of hits in a week from the search
engines for free? Is it the best targeted traffic you can get? Maybe or
maybe not, but who can turn down free traffic. Not everyone can win at the
search engine game, but you can give yourself the best odds by doing
everything possible to rank yourself higher. There are numerous of ways
to accomplish this. In detail explanation, the information below is every
know way brought to my attention. Hopefully, after you finish reading this
article, you can get your web site in the top 30 positions in all the major
search engines.
Meta Tags
Before you get started with anything, you need to create some meta tags
and place the coding into your web site. To learn how and what to do with
meta tags, please visit http://www.addme.com/meta.htm
It is a great resource full of helpful information.
Keyword Writing
When you write your text for your homepage, try to place a variation of
your keywords throughout the page. You want to place the keywords
as many times as you can, but do it throughout the entire web page
and make sure it sounds professional.
Link Popularity
I have recently read that many search engines are starting to rank the more
popular web sites higher, due to popularity. If you owned a search engine,
wouldn't you rank the popular ones higher? What they mean by that
is how many sites are linked to you. There are a few ways you can get
people to link to you. You can trade links with other web sites, but the
numbers will not be very high. Or you can submit your web site to the
pages people call Free For All Links (FFA). Two good resources you can
use to get your site listed on hundreds or even thousands of pages, are
SEO Toolkit and SubmitWolf The more pages
that are linked to you, the better you are off! You can check your link
popularity on Add Me! http://www.addme.com, they just added this
new service two weeks ago.
Paid Ranking
Now, you can pay for your ranking on a few search engines to generate
your traffic. If you don't want to fight the search engine war or you have
some spare money, then you might want to check this out. The leading
pay ranking search engine on the market today, is Goto.com They were
the first people to start this type of service. Another one that is following
their foot steps is http://www.findwhat.com.
This type of search engine can be a very effective way to market your web site due to the fact that
you can get targeted visitors as cheap as one cent per click! The top
positions are ranked accordingly to who wants to pay more.
Ranking Software
There is now software you can purchase that will help you keep up with
your rankings with the major search engines. A very highly rated program
that can help you succeed with the search engine war, is Web Position.
This software has been highly rated with 5 stars from ZDNet. This software
is probable the best and most effective one you can get today. You can
get more information on this software here: SEO Toolkit
Domain Name
It has been know that many of the major search engines like Excite, rank
web sites higher if they have the keywords in their domain name. What
you might want to try doing is get a domain name, if you do not already
have one, that has a keyword in it related to your business. Another idea
could be to register another domain name that has a keyword or two in it,
and point it to your original site. This could bring you extra free traffic from
the search engines.
Search Engines
To get ranked, make sure you are listed with the major search engines
below. It is a good idea to submit your web site once every few weeks
to keep your listing fresh.
This should get you started with the search engines. Once you are
listed, you might not even have to fight the war, and sometimes when
you step back, it can just fall into place.
