Search Engine Optimization is complicated on the surface, but not so formidable that it can not be accomplished, and with little or no expenditure of capital.
Never, ever put all of your eggs in one basket. That is such an old cliché and I do not pretend to know where or when it started. But it works as well today as it did when it was formulated.
Envision a person gathering the morning eggs from the chicken coup and carrying them up a hill to market. A simple slip on the dampened grass or soil, or a small pebble could cause a fall. And we all know how fragile an egg can be when it collides with another egg. It would be very lucky indeed if a few of the eggs were safe and salvageable.
How does is this related to SEO? SEO requires multiple facets of one strategy to succeed. The purpose is to get more traffic, traffic that is interested and recurring. The strategy is the combination of tactics and tools that are used to accomplish this. The point is to use more than one or two SEO tactics, keeping your eggs in more than one basket.
Linking is considered the major tactic of SEO. Without having backlinks pointing to your blog or website, it might as well be invisible. The art of linking is multifaceted, and is what all of the other tactics and tools help accomplish.
Article writing is one of the most important tools that you should use to get ranked in the search engines. Original and quality content that offers the reader valuable information will greatly increase your traffic and ranking within the search engines. Articles should contain a link to your site or a page on your site within the text body or in your resource box.
You should have a blog on your website or an article page that you update often with your own articles or contributing authors. Make sure that the content of the articles are clearly related to some aspect of your website or blog.
Posting comments on other blogs, and contributing articles to other websites which allow you to backlink to your website or blog. This will greatly enhance your overall ranking and internet traffic. Make sure that your comments are accurate and relevant to the subject matter. Don't just say "great post" and leave it at that. Offer something; contribute in some way, even if it is to say that you do not understand the concepts that are discussed.
Keywords, in your posts and articles are crucial, and are considered by many SEO experts to be the most important piece of the entire ranking puzzle. Finding the best keywords is an art, and for some individuals has become a good paying fulltime internet occupation.
Keyword placement is only second to correct keyword usage. There are free and paid software programs available to locate and optimize keywords. How often a keyword is used and the placement of that keyword within an article or post is determined by the author. Some software programs can do this, but the human editing has to be there for the final product to make sense.
Many SEO gurus discount directory submissions as old and out of date tactics. Although their importance has shrunk within many of the search engines, it is still a valuable and viable tool that should be utilized. It might only contribute a mere 2% to your overall traffic, but why turn away any traffic? And, directory submission can help to get your site indexed by other minor search engines, especially if the directories are related to the niche of your website or blog, and have a page ranking of 3 or higher.
These are only a few of the tactics. Some require more work than others, but all of them are important, and need to be practiced for maximum results in ranking and search engine optimization.
