Search Engine Marketing
Search engine marketing is a very important skill that you need to learn to succeed online. Once you are generating a reasonable income from this strategy you can easily reinvest your profits into paid advertising and let your business pay for itself.
However, most people make search engine marketing a lot more difficult than what it really should be. In this text I would like to share some tactics that have helped me to be successful driving free traffic.
1) You need to research your keywords thoroughly
This is a very important step that you need to get right to attract lots of targeted free traffic. For example if you were to find a keyword that gets searched 10,000 times a month with very little competition you can make this the focus of your home page. Use these keywords in the anchor text of all links that you get to your home page. The major part of the search engine algorithm is determined by the quality links that you get to your website and the anchor text that links to your site. By doing this right you will significantly boost your rankings. Also build a themed website that has content relevant to your chosen keywords. With search engines using latent semantic indexing this has become a very important step.
2) Write content everyday and find quality links
This is the simple formula that you need to follow to get good search engine rankings. It is not difficult, but very few people stay focused long enough to get this right. Everyday add quality content to your website as the search engines love a website with a lot of content. Also find quality links in the form of directory listings, forum postings, article marketing, press releases and submit your high quality articles to social media sites like Digg.
