Organic SEO seems to be the catch phrase of the moment.
However, unlike many other linking tactics and strategies,
this one actually works.
What is Organic SEO or Organic Search Engine Optimization?
Explained simply, it's where all your linking structures
originates from the content up - in other words, you let
all your content created for your sites, blogs and articles
do your link building for you.
Actually, the answer is as simple as this article. You're
probably experiencing one of the best examples of Organic SEO
right this moment by reading this article. Article marketing
is pure Organic SEO. You let your article and your author's
resource box build one-way links from related niche sites
back to your site.
But the keyword is content. You must create high quality
original content for this system to really develop and flourish.
The better the content, the faster your rankings and traffic
will grow. By producing valuable content in articles, sites
and blogs, you are building real traffic and real links that
the search engines salivate over. And they will reward your
site with higher rankings and even more traffic.
Try Article Writing...
Frankly, I was rather surprised at the effectiveness of article
writing. It seems like such a benevolent little creature.
You write about your own experiences on the subject of your
site or blog, keeping your articles short, around 500 to
800 words - although some of my best performing articles have
been longer, about 900 to 1200 words.
I have only written about 60 articles. But the benefits have
been enormous; spreading my content all over the web and building
one-way links back to my sites and blogs. Some of these articles like
the ones in Addme.com or Webpronews.com get archived and will
provide good deep PR links for years to come.
There are a few techniques I use to extend the effectiveness of
my articles. First, I always start with a keyword or keyword
phrase that I want to target with a particular article. I do
major, major, major research on my article's keywords - using
sites like nichebot.com, overture.com, and a few others.
I check how much competition there is for the keywords.
Combining a new keyword with ones you already have positioned
high for in the search engines works well. For example, I have
optimized my site for the keyword 'Free', it appears throughout
my site. When I introduce a new keyword phrase I sometimes
combine it with Free. Pick the right keyword combination and
you will gain an edge over your competition more quickly.
Always put your keyword phrase into the title of your article.
I also make it a habit of not picking the top keywords in a
niche, I go for middle ranked keywords - I am better assured
that I will rank on the first page SERPs for these lower
keywords. Why waste valuable time shooting for the stars
when you can easily land on the moon!
I submit my articles mainly to a short list of online article
directories ( ezinearticles.com, buzzle.com, isnare.com,
goarticles.com, ideamarketers.com, and articlealley.com )
these work the best for me. These sites rank well in the
search engines and even though the surfer may go to another
site to read your article first, it then delivers a much more
warmed up and targeted visitor to your own site.
Other webmasters from your niche will pick up your high quality
articles and place them on their sites. Organically growing
more related one-way links to your site. Google looks very
favorably on these one-way links and will reward your site
for having them.
Article marketing is one Organic SEO tactic every website
should be using. Instead of paying high prices for seo
services, why not write or hire someone to create keyword
rich articles for your site. The benefits will surprise you.
Try Blogging...
Blogs are another form of Organic SEO. It also builds links
and traffic to your site the natural way - by providing
valuable content.
For those marketers and webmasters who practice Organic SEO,
the free blogging systems are a godsend. A skilled marketer
can legitimately use these online blogging programs to boost
their site's rankings, traffic and income. What more can
any online marketer or webmaster ask for?
I use numerous blogs to compliment my sites. I base these
blogs on the major keywords of my sites. For example, one
section on my main Internet Marketing site examines laptop
computers, I created a blog with Bloglines.com covering the
same topic. Although all the content is different from
what you will find on my main site.
I also use Blogger.com because it's owned by Google and
is very simple to use. I find posting my weekly ezine on
Blogger adds another way I can get my message out to my
subscribers. Not to mention, all the linking and pinging a
blog brings into play.
I also use the open source software and system, WordPress
for another of my blogs on marketing. This is a php database
supported program that was a lot less easier to set up on my
site than I first expected. It's one of the best blogging
systems I have worked with and is highly favored by the search
engines. If you're not using it - try it.
In addition, I have just started using LiveJournal for another
blog and that system is also very easy to use. I usually post
to my blogs once or twice a week, just short helpful tips or
links that a visitor or search engine would be interested in.
Keep in mind, all these free blogging sites are PR9 or PR10,
has to count for something.
Spam has become a problem with many of these blogging systems,
I now usually block all comments or moderate them. All this spam
just goes to show how effective getting links in related blogs
can booster your rankings for competitive keywords.
I have found blogging to be a very effective tool for getting
your keywords indexed and ranked very quickly. I also like to
use blogs for those golden double-header listings in the SERPs,
preferably at the number 1 and 2 spots! That's where you get two
listings from your site for a certain keyword on the first page,
this I find, brings in a lot more traffic than a single listing.
In art there is something called the Golden Section, a perfect
proportion that works magic into any painting or picture. It is
an organic and natural effect that appears everywhere in our world.
For webmasters, having your site listed 1 and 2 for your keywords
has to be another form of the Golden Section, made especially for us.
In that same light, Organic SEO is a natural and effective way for
webmasters to grow their links and rankings. Articles and blogs
are two special tools we can use to further that natural growth.
Create your own Golden Section and give the search engines something
to talk about by trying Organic SEO. Build your links and rankings
the natural way.
Your site's salvation is only a keystroke away!
