How to get high search engine rankings

So, do you think you are ready to play with the Big e-sharks Boys yet?
Let’s see, you have spent the last few months building an outstanding network of high paying affiliates programs: all relevant advertisement has already been placed in its allocated slot, but it’s still not bringing you any revenue. You also think you have great content in your web pages, but none of it it's actually delivering a good performance – or even not performance at all.
Perhaps you could account for hundreds of hours spent in front of your computer screen, manually submitting your site to search engines (or pinging services, in case of a blog), and posting your opinion in all sort of web forums, hoping to get thousands of clicks to your traffic and drastically improve yourself. But the truth of it all is that those endless hours have driven nothing more than a few dozen one-time  visitors to your site.
You know it takes some time for quality inbound links to link to your site. But how long is some time: months, years, decades?
Let’s face it, adding everything up doesn’t pay for the hosting services, the broadband, or even the daily coffee treat in Starbucks. Time is money. And you are losing hundreds by the day: you simply don’t know it yet.
If you fall into the above category of successful wannabe e-marketers –don’t take offense, I, too, was there once-; I recommend you to take a look at my simple instructions to correctly optimize your website, before you decide to go on and waste even more money in advertisement.
To get the best result out of this tutorial, you should follow each step in the correct order.

Tips for submitting your url to search engines


Today, in this last step, we are going to submit our url to search engines. Once more, for free. But before doing so, let me first take you through the basics of url search engine submission.

Submitting your website to search engines, is a way of inviting them to come and have a look at your website. When submitting your url to search engines, you should only submit one web page. Submitting more than one web page can be seen as an attempt to spam search engines. Avoid doing this because you run the risk of getting banned from them.
The one page you must submit to search engines should be your homepage, and it should look something like this:

www.your-site.com

or

www.your-site.com/sitemap.htm


Search engines will start indexing your website at the submitted page.
They will find your other web pages via the links on the submitted web page.

Either if you are submitting to search engines or to directories (or both), always make sure that your websites falls under the correct categories.

If you happen to have a multilingual website, then submit only your home page for each language section of your website individually.


Do not submit your website to search engines if:

  • Your domain is a redirection to another domain.
  • Do not submit multiple domains that lead to the same web page.
Some people would also say that you should not submit your website to search engines if you do not have your own domain name. This, however, is a point of discussion that will be soon available in another post. In the meantime, I'll let you make you own choices.


A final word





If your website is not listed in the search engines, it should be enough to submit it once every four weeks. Some search engines will penalize your website if you submit often than that.

Also, it is normally sufficient to check your search engine rankings once a month, as most search engines do not update their database as often.

Building good quality inbound links


 
What are inbound links?

Inbound links are external links that link to your website. They are an extremely important factor to get high search engine rankings. Without good quality inbound links, it is almost impossible to get high rankings on Google, Yahoo or other major search engines. This is because search engines think that, if many other websites link to your site, then your website must be important.

Although, it is absolutely crucial to the success of your website that you work on the inbound links to your site; the number of inbound links itself, is not enough to improve your search engine rankings. It is also important that the other websites that are linking to you are also related to your website. This means that if you are selling gardening tools, you will want links coming from gardening-related website, and not from others like gambling; because that will damage your rankings, but also it will damage the image of your website.

If the websites that are linking to you include important keywords in the link text, then it's easier to get high search engine rankings for these keywords.

When more than one web page has been optimized for the same keywords, then the page with the best incoming links will get the highest search engine rankings.

How to build good quality inbound links?

Something you should know is that inbound links won't build themselves overnight. You can pay companies to manually submit your links to directories and search engines for you, or you can do it yourself and save some extra pocket money; but choosing either option won't mean an overnight boost in your targeted traffic. In fact, it takes anything from two weeks to various months for your website to get included in some directories.

There are many different directories out there to submit your website to, and choosing which ones to submit can be a painful task. The problems is, although many of them start out with good intentions, soon they get overwhelmed with requests; so even if you submit to them, they might never get around to link to your website. You might also want to avoid submitting your website to directories that have a bad reputation (spam sites, linking schemes, etc); because inbound links from those sites can also hurt your rankings.

After all that you might be feeling a little dizzy, and not altogether too happy to start the tedious task ahead of you; specially having to go and surf the web for hours to find good directories to submit your website to. Don't despair. Here is a list of 50 free directories with good page rank that do not require a reciprocal link. (More will follow soon, so keep checking often)

Everything you learnt so far about inbound links can be resolve with the following formula:

Web content + good incoming links = high search engine rankings


I recommend you to submit your website to at least twenty directories before moving on to the next step.

Now you are ready to move the final step of this mini-tutorial 'how to get high search engine rankings'. (Coming Soon)

Creating the right keywords for successful online marketing campaigns

Creating the right keywords for successful online marketing campaigns (I of IV)


If you want to succeed at your online marketing campaigns, then don’t be afraid to spend some quality time finding the right keywords for your website. They should be relevant to your web site and your content, and should be what web surfers should be looking for when they reach your site. Targeting the wrong keywords will make all your website promotions efforts useless; and it could also be wasting you a lot of time and money.

There are three different keyword types (bear with me here, I will just run you through the basics)

  • Keywords for browsing.

  • Keywords for comparing.

  • Keywords for buying.

For the best search engine optimization results, I recommend you to use keywords for comparing. People who use this type of keywords are usually ready to buy.
It is worth noting that most people use a two to four word phrase when performing a search engine. Do not use single words. They cannot be promoted effectively as they are not very targeted.


Points to remember
Phrases work better.
If you target the wrong keywords, you will lose a lot of time and money.
