Everybody I speak with is always so worried about

Everybody I speak with is always so worried about where their website ranks in the search engines. To many times I speak with someone and they feel like their business is just going to sky rocket when they get onto that first page for a certain keyword they want to rank for. Yes rankings are important but they are not the reason why websites are successful. It is important for businesses and website owners to really understand that having a website rank does not equate to a successful business. Building a business online through a variety of proactive marketing efforts including search engine optimization is how you get your online business really growing.

Building an online business is simply that, a business. Finding loopholes in the search algorithm and pouncing on them does not help a website grow and prosper. All the major search engines are slowly closing those loop holes and leaving the flood gates wide open for websites and business owners that are looking to proactively brand themselves online the right way. I receive many calls from people asking me why their site does not get more conversions when it ranks on page one of a search result for their chosen keyword. They claim the website ranks well but nothing happens. Websites do not grow from rankings alone. This is where SEO has encountered a fundamental flaw in its life cycle. Too many people focus all their attention on rankings and not the actual process of building a business. Many out there practicing SEO have this theory that marketing a business is a direct reflection from search engine rankings. It is important to understand that the buying habits and patterns of all audiences across every vertical market are changing. The recent economic climate has caused many industries to change their buying behaviors. It has caused potential buyers to look at things in a new light before making any type of purchase or inquiry.

Online businesses are no different than any other type of business in the sense that buyers more so than ever require reassurance before they purchase anything and this happens with proactive branding. If a website owner approaches their website with marketing in mind the rankings will follow naturally over time. Assuming a website is already optimized the link building should be approached with marketing as the number one priority. Putting marketing as the main ingredient in any link building campaign allows a business to really build their brand and generate the right type of visitors. Website visitors are slowly starting to realize that even organic rankings don’t really mean that your business is the right business to do work with. Potential clients want to see your brand on sites like Facebook and Twitter being active in the community building trust for yourself or your brand. Trust is very important for potential customers and can only be obtained through proactive online SEO marketing.

NOT listed on my site for everyone to read

This information is NOT listed on my site for everyone to read. Irealized you might benefit from this information and wanted to getit to you right away. I'll try and get it on the site later todayor tomorrow.Some of these points might be ideas or strategies you have heardbefore but never really acted on but I made a point to focus on thetop things to do and not try and write a book for you to try andread through and then ask yourself, "where do start".Here we go:* Create a site with valuable content, products or services. Iknow this seems obvious but I can't stress the importance of goodcontent. If you don't have good content now then keep adding toyour site.* Place primary and secondary keywords within the first 25 wordsin your page content and spread them evenly throughout the document.Try and have it read like it would if you were talking with a friend* Research and use the right keywords/phrases to attract your targetcustomers. If you know what's important to your customers then youwould focus on those keywords.* Use your keywords in the right fields and references within your webpage. Like Title, META tags, Headers, etc. You can read more aboutMETA data on my site (eSiteSecrets.com)* Keep your site design simple so that your customers can navigateeasily between web pages, find what they want and buy products andservices. My point is that your pages should not lead to a dead-end.Pages should have links to other pages.* Submit your web pages i.e. every web page and not just the homepage, to the most popular search engines and directory services. Hiresomeone to do so, if required. Be sure this is a manual submission. Donot engage an automated submission service. o One point would be to use one of the tools from our "Tools" page.* Keep track of changes in search engine algorithms and processes andaccordingly modify your web pages so your search engine rankingremains high. See the tools page for tools to automate this process* Monitor your competitors and the top ranked websites to see whatthey are doing right in the way of design, navigation, content,keywords, etc. It is easier to copy then to try and figure it out onyour own.* Use reports and logs from your web hosting company to see where yourtraffic is coming from. Analyze your visitor location and theirincoming sources whether search engines or links from other sites andthe keywords they used to find you.* Demonstrate your industry and product or service expertise bywriting and submitting articles for your website or for article banksso you are perceived as an expert in your field. Plus, these willlead to backlinks to your site!* When not sure, hire professionals. Though it may seem costly, but itis a lot less expensive than spending your money on a website which noone visits. I could tell you story after story about how the rightperson cost me a little but made me a lot.* Don't look at your website as a static brochure. Treat it as adynamic, ever-changing sales tool and location, just like your realstore to which your customers with the same seriousness.

We have all read the free study

It’s not a great secret, but you would be hard pressed to find any SEO or marketing company to give you their ‘secret’ ways to delivering a website into a search engine such as Google, in as little as a day or two. In fact you would be hard pressed really to find any comprehensive guide, studying the ways and wherefores of how to actually list a website in the natural organic listings so quickly.
Yes, we have all read the free study guides on how to submit a website, we have all been to the submission links of the major search engines and blasted our sites URL off into the never never world.
But, if you didn’t already know, and you probably didn’t if you have read this far – there are at least 100 different ways I can think of right now, on the spot, that can get a perfectly new URL actually listed in Google in a day, give or take a day!
These ways are free, with there being no cash involved you will be pleased to hear, and will certainly see your website up there in lights (well at least for your website name anyway). These are not ways or mechanisms to get top rankings, these are not way to suddenly drive hundreds and thousands of new visitors to your website. These are simply ways to get the site listed, without the need to use any free search engine submission link as provided by the almighty Google or Yahoo.

So, if you have your notepads and pens I shall begin:
1. Have you twittered or tweeted lately? Well start now, if you have not already got a Twitter account my suggestion is to sign up today. Get yourself a lovely Twitter name as your website address, and in your profile provide a lovely link to your URL. After this, go and find 50 people (in any industry – some people would say you must be focussed, but at the end of the day you just want your site listed – so find 50 people in any topic area), follow them and then sure as mustard within a few hours some of them will be following you back. Why doe this help? Because new Twitter accounts invariably get listed in record time, and the more people following you the higher the chances of that being picked up. Then your link to your website sees the spiders (that’s the search engine spiders by the way!) racing to it.
2. Free press release site, yes yes, you have heard it all before. Use press releases to get your website listed yarda yarda yarda. Well listen up, because I am going to give you one HUGE tip and recommendation, write yourself a nice little press release. It doesn’t matter if your English is bad, is worse than bad or is just downright awful. Simply do your best, right a nifty little announcement about your site going LIVE on such and such a date, what’s its about and how great it is. Make sure you provide links in the press release to your site, just 2 links will be more than enough. Then go and search for some “free press release” submission sites and deliver your brand spanking new announcement release to about 10 of these free PR sites. Don’t pay a dime if your intention is just to get your site listed, you don’t actually want the publicity – you just want the listing, and this really does work.
3. Got any buddies with websites, can you buy them a beer for a link? If you know anyone else with a website that has a fair few visitors ask them to put up a link to your website until it gets listed. This is a tried and tested method – and the more buddies the better!

4. Youtube.com, no you don’t have to upload that latest family video. You can create some new videos using some of Windows own tools! A few graphics created to promote your product, created into a video, uploaded to YouTube.com with a nice link to your URL at the side – lovely.
I could go on, but I think you will find that implanted correctly, selecting just 3 of the above 4 recommendations will safely see your site listed in a couple of days. There are many more variations to the above methods, and with a little thought you can no doubt figure these out yourself – but to train your thought, think Dailymotion and Myspace and all the other sites that follow the same theme and come in between.
If you are a fan of search engine submission links provided for free by the search engines, then there of course is absolutely no harm in using them. And you could of course you always pay a company to do it for you, but if you want to show all your friends and colleagues just how clever you are at getting your domain name listed so quickly just give the above a shot….
Next time I will go through ideas 5 – 10 just to give you a bit of variety!
