Top Ten SEO Starting Tips

If you want your website to get ranked high which will help you to bring more visitors than follow these steps...........................................




1. A Keyword Rich Domain.

While you makng your website get ranked high in search engines you must provide sufficient keywords. But it is better if you dont keep lots of keyword.While not always possible, when setting up a new website, consider setting it up on a domain that contains the sites main keywords. Search Engines give considerable weight to a website with keywords in the URL. Never use a keyword stuffed domain (ie. www.your-key-word-here-and-another.com)

2. Title Tag.
The title tag on your page is the most powerful on page factor you can control as a webmaster. Use it wisely. Carefully choose which keywords are going to go in here and remember that it will be read by humans as well as search engines. Never stuff keywords into your title. It only devalues its weight and makes you look spammy.

3. Heading Tags.
The second most important on page factor you can control is the heading tags. Not only are they useful for search engines to determine the context of your document, it is semantically sound HTML practice.

4. Bold, Strong and Emphasis Tags.
While there is no set answer to which carries more weight, assume that both are the same. Emphasize keywords in bold using the BOLD or STRONG tags. Search engines give more weight to keywords if they are emphasized.

5. Keyword Rich Text.
It is always possible to rank for search terms when they are not on your page but using them sparingly will only help increase your search engine visibility for these keywords and

6. Structured Navigation And Correct Internal Navigation.
Make it easy for search engines to index your entire site. Use a text link navigation. I this is not possible, use a sitemap or second text navigation in the footer of your site.

7. Keyword Rich Internal Links.
Use your sites main keywords in the anchor text when linking to pages within your site. This not only describes the link to your visitors, it also lets the search engines know what content is on the page being linked to.

8. Avoid Flash.
While some search engines claim that they can index some flash content, it is still in its infancy. An entire website does not need to be built in flash. Use it wisely and make sure any text that is output by flash is rendered as html text so search engines can see it. If possible, avoid flash completely.

9. Avoid Duplicate content.
Search Engines do not like duplicate content. Make sure all the content on your website is different on all pages. Many navigation elements, headers, footers etc. is the same, but make sure that each page has marginally more unique content. Some search engines give a penalty for duplicate content, while others just ignore it. Just make your content unique. If anything else, it benefits your site visitors.

10. Keyword Rich, Relevant Inbound Links.
A relevant, keyword rich inbound link is the holy grail of online marketing. There are many ways to get quality inbound links to your website. Directory Submissions, Article writing/marketing, Press Releases, Posting in forums and blogs, Link Exchanges. Obtaining inbound links is the undisputed king of SEO tactics

What is the Best Way to Promote a Website?

This is the best article for promoting your site. read it carefully-gk.

Are you searching for information about the most successful ways of promoting a website? Are you looking for tips and advice that can help you to gain higher search engine rankings for your website? If you have answered one or both of these questions in the positive then this article may well of be of interest to you. I am an experienced webmaster from the UK who has managed to gain some top rankings for my own websites and for that of my many clients. In this article I will be providing my own insights into the ways that I believe a website should be promoted, ways that have proved to be successful for me.

For me there is a need to concentrate on two fronts, firstly it is the website itself. The website needs to be easy to navigate around, it should have a clear message as to what services you provide, it should have interesting and unique content and the site should be updated on a regular basis. I firmly believe that a website should also have a blog, a blog that is posted to at least three times a week.

So what is the benefit of doing all of the above? Well updating the site, posting to your own blog and ensuring that the content of the website is unique and of interest to its readers will encourage other webmasters to link to the website. These links are invaluable and are what will enable the site to ultimately gain a high ranking within the major search engines.
The second front is where you attempt to obtain these all important backward links in other ways. One such way and one which is basically free is to promote the website via writing articles. Each article can be submitted to some of the best article directories where in turn other webmasters can then use the content on their own sites. They can do this as long as they keep the link intact and make it "live", the link that it is to your website that you are allowed to include within the article.

There are also other ways to attempt to gain links such as social media and posting to high value blogs that pass "page rank

Promote Your Site Every Day

Website promotion only works if you promote your site on a regular basis. So how about promoting your website every day? Read how, below.

Day 1 - Submit Your Site To A Search Engine
Okay, okay there are no big surprises with this promotion method.
Search engines still represent the best way to get traffic to your site, day after day after day. But which search engines are the most important?

Answer: Google, MSN Search, Yahoo! Search.
The good news is that you don't have to submit your site to Google at all as it prefers to find your site. The bad news is that it can only find your site if another site (already listed on Google) is linking to your site. So you need to build some incoming links to your site straight away. (Learn how to build incoming links in Day 3.)

It is also important that your pages are optimised for the search engines. You'll find an up-to-date list of the major search engines and directories at StrongestLinks.com .
Day 2 - Write An Article
You've probably heard of article marketing, and know that writing articles is a great way to do two important things:

1) build incoming links to your website

2) establish your expertise
So, how do you write articles? Well, you can learn by reading other articles; or you can visit an article directory and read articles about writing articles; or you can buy a book about writing articles. It's up to you. Writing articles is not difficult, especially if you follow these basic guidelines:
* Know what you are trying to achieve in writing your article and know who your target audience is
* Brainstorm the content using an article-writing formula like a 'Top 10 Formula' or a FAQ formula
* Know what your outcome is and create an author resource box that makes that outcome happen.
There are many article writing formulas and you might even come up with your own. The main thing is to work out a method of writing good quality articles, quickly.
After that, you either post your article on your website or you let others do the same by submitting your article to the major article directories. EzineArticles.com is one such directory.

Day 3 - Build Incoming Links To Your Site
Links make the Net go around; they are what make the internet great! Links also make your website useful to your site visitor (a well-maintained, and useful, links page can in itself make a website worth re-visiting again and again).
One way of achieving lots of links to your site is to swap links with other sites. The best way to do this is to:
- Identify sites with similar content to yours- Send a personal email to the webmaster suggesting that both your sites could benefit from a reciprocal link- Develop a useful "Resources" page and put those links on this page.

Personally speaking, I would be happy to share link with you regarding this. If you are going to keep my link in yours frontpage I am going to that to yours page too. If you want to share than send me private message with subject "I want linksharing with you" at bikal2@ymail.com.

A much better strategy is to try and build incoming links to your site only. Writing articles is one way of doing this and so is using Web 2.0 sites like MySpace (see below).

Day 4 - Write A Press Release
What's better than advertising in a publication? Answer: having your business feature in an article in that publication.

So here are the basic steps of writing a press release:

=> Press Release Checklist
1) Have a story to tell2) Think like a journalist3) Format the press release properly4) Keep your press release short!5) Promote your press release online
Above all, keep it short.
Obviously there is a little more to it than that. Do a search for how to write a press release to learn more.

Day 5 - Use Web 2.0 Sites Like MySpace, Squidoo and Digg
Whilst it will always be important to rank well on Google, the website promotion rules are slowly changing. Now it's important to know about social media optimization and not just search engine optimization to get visitors to your website.
For example, here are three websites that *can* help you promote your website and thus help you promote your business, online:

1) YouTube2) Digg.com3) Del.icio.us
The above sites are known as social networking sites or social bookmarking sites or even social media sites. Whatever they are known as, the most important thing about these types of sites (and these three sites in particular) is that they are some of the most visited websites in the world. And, they allow you to link to your site, one way.
However, putting content that links to your website on these social media sites and then getting exposure to that content is, effectively, the art of social media optimization. Again, do a search to learn more.

Day 6 - Create New Content
It may come as a surprise to you, but search engines such as Google 'like' sites that get constantly updated. Think of news websites like The BBC or CNN, or think of social bookmarking sites like Digg.com or even del.icio.us - they all do very well when it comes to being 'valued' by the search engines.
The reason? Well, the search engines believe that sites that change every hour are more 'important' than related sites that change every month. You would too, don't you think!
So, how does this help you?

Well, you need to consider creating new content for your site as regularly as possible to try and recreate this 'valued' factor with the search engines.
Whether you add new articles to your site, or new product listings or even new content like videos, you want to get into the habit of adding new content to your site on a regular basis. Do this every day if possible.

Day 7 - Test, Test, Test
Hey! You may have nothing to do today.
It all depends on how well you have been doing the above activities. And the only way to find that out is to measure results, or to test.
How to test?

Log your activities and then find the answers to the following types of questions:

1) Is your site appearing on the search engines?
Do a search on Google, say, for site:www.yoursitenamehere.com
This will list all of the pages of your site that appear on Google.

2) How many inbound links to your site exist on a particular search engine?
Again, major search engines provide tools to allow you to determine this.

3) Has your press release been published?
Check the magazines it's likely to appear in, on a regular basis. It's a great feeling when you see your website in print! :-)

Some press release services can provide much fuller online stats, too.

4) How many of your articles have been published elsewhere?

Good article sites give you stats like this, or you can set up a Google Alert for certain words that appear in your article (do a search, if you don't know what a Google Alert is).

5) Is your website getting more visitors?
A good website statistics package should be provided by your web host, but you can buy an independent package should you require more accuracy.
Etc.
Seriously, online, the winners are those who test.

Making Money With Adwords

I don’t think I have met one person who doesn’t want to rake in the dough. One of the best ways I have found is promoting affiliates online. If you don't know what affiliates are here is a brief explanation; Affiliate Marketing is a popular method of promoting web businesses in which an affiliate is rewarded for every visitor, subscriber and/or customer provided through his efforts. It is a modern variation of the practice of paying finder's-fees for the introduction of new clients to a business. Compensation may be made based on a certain value for each visit (Pay per click), registrant (Pay per lead), or a commission for each customer or sale (Pay per Sale), or any combination.

The best way to find an affiliate product to promote is to sign up with clickbank.com they have a massive list of products which are all digital and available to download right away!
To sign up to clickbank go here to www.clickbank.com. Now once you have signed up you need to choose a product to promote, you might want to have a quick read through and see if there is a product that you would want to buy yourself (its always good to be interested in what your selling).

A great thing about clickbank is that it lists all the products which have the best percentage payout. For example in the “Money and Employment” category, “Data entry pro” is the top paying affiliate program; it pays 75% of each sale not bad!
When you see a product you like visit the website and look for information on how to be an affiliate they should give you a link like this http://xxxxx.dataentry.hop.clickbank.net/ just fill the xxxxxx with you're clickbank name and you're ready!
Anyhow once you have chosen a product to promote you need to find a way to promote it. You could make a web site and choose a lot of affiliates to promote, however it can sometimes take years to get high rankings in search engines, especially if you’re trying to rank within Google. So instead of using affiliate marketing you can use something called Google adwords. If you don't have a Adwords account sign up at www.google.com/adwords. Google will ask you for your website address and you can just input the affiliate link you get after choosing your product from clickbank.

Once signed up to adwords (it may take a few days if you're not using a website) you need to choose your keywords. Keywords tend to cost more depending on how popular they are. Therefore it might be a good idea to use overtures keyword tool or the google adwords keyword tool. Longer phrases are generally cheaper to purchase as they have less competition (the cheaper the better you make more profit).

Fortunately some advertisers don't do thorough keyword research meaning you can get some keywords as little as $0.01.

For example, I used ebay they pay $5 for any click through registration and $0.05 for any bid from the affiliate link. This worked to an extent however when using ebay as a keyword for you're adwords campaign you may have to pay around $0.37 a click. This ended up not being worth it and I didn’t actually make very much.

Another example of something that could make money would be purchasing keywords related to “data entry”, actually purchasing “date entry” as a adwords keyword would be expensive. Related keywords such as “data entry home employment”, “work at home data entry” or “data entry internet job” etc. would be worth while investments.
