The search engines are powerful. But you know that I’m sure. And that is why you want to increase your rankings.
Top listings in the major engines like Google and Yahoo can provide your website with enough traffic to explode any online venture.
But as you may well have noticed, getting to the top is not an easy thing to do….or is it? It is for me. I say that not to boast but rather to give you hope.
See, it wasn’t always that easy. In fact, it seemed near impossible. And then it struck me, I have no idea how to master the engines!
I realized the problem was that I did what everyone else was doing, trying every trick in the book in an attempt to get some traffic. But why do what the masses do when the majority of them get no results at all.
It was then that I decided to actually learn what works from the people who had top listings. And what I learned changed my level of success in a dramatic way.
The following are 5 top search engine ranking tips. They do not cover every detail, but they will definitely point you in the right direction.
#5-Use the Three Tier Website Layout-The search engines spiders do not go much further than three tiers deep. The homepage is the first, the buttons on the homepage are the tier two’s, and any pages linked to those pages are the third. Any page linked to a tier three will not likely get recognized and listed by the engines. The three tier layout is optimal not only for search engine ranking but also for your visitors convenience.
#4-Increase Your Link Popularity-The engines give higher priority to websites that have a number of high quality inbound links. An inbound link is a link from another site to yours. A high number of links tells the engines that your site offers some value to its visitors, and that is the kind of websites that the engines like. The easiest and fastest way to secure inbound links is with the directories. There are literally thousands of directories that will list quality content based websites for free.
#3-Do Not Overuse Keywords-One of the most common mistakes that people make is trying to keyword stuff their pages. They assume that the more times they put it in the copy, the more attention they will get from the engines. But this is not the case. In fact, the engines can easily tell when they are being tricked. ASs a rule of thumb, try not to exceed using a keyword more than once per each 100 words in the copy.
#2-Utilize Profitable Keywords-Using the right keywords is another critical component of proper search engine marketing. Each webpage should be focused on a single keyword or phrase, and a few other can be used secondarily. The keywords you select should be both high in demand and low in competition. While everyone else is fighting over the same keywords, the smart people are raking it in on the less obvious ones.
#1-Play by the Rules- It still surprises me that so many people attempt to trick the engines. It would be an extremely difficult thing to do, and even if you were able to get away with it momentarily, the engines are constantly improving the way they list sites, and therefore any manipulations will have very limited results.
Follow these simple top search engine ranking tips and you will do great at the engines, and you will have all of the traffic you could possibly need.
