Article directories have recently become very popular. There are over 600 directories on the Internet and more are appearing every day. Unfortunately, the average life of a new directory site is about three months. Within six months, over 80% of them will close their doors. I suppose it is because they were not making as much money as they hoped. Or perhaps it is because these sites are fairly time intensive, requiring an editor to review each article before it is published. It is probably a combination of these two factors.
For that reason, it is important to submit your articles to the best article submission sites. These are the biggest directories that have been around the longest and have the highest Page Ranks. I have submitted a number of articles on this subject in the past. In this article, I want to talk about backlinks and getting your website listed on page one of the search engines.
Backlinks are very important if you want to improve your website’s Page Rank. The Page Rank of your website is one factor that determines popularity of your site. The more popular your site, the higher it appears in search results. The most popular site will appear as the first listing on page one of a search. The second most popular site will get the second listing, and so on. Ideally, you want your website to appear on the first page of search results. This can bring you tons more traffic than if your site shows up on page 150 of search results. If your site appears on page 150, you will see little if any traffic from the search engines.
One way to improve your Page Rank is by getting links from larger Page Ranked sites that point back to your website. An easy way to accomplish this is by submitting articles. Each time you submit an article, the article directory will post your links on their site.
But, it does you little or no good to list your articles with directories that have low Page Rank numbers. That is why it is important to submit to only the best article submission sites. I classify the best submission sites as directories with a Page Rank of 4 or higher. (The Page Rank of the article directory must be higher than the Page Rank of your own site.)
By consistently submitting articles to , you will see the Page Rank numbers of your site slowly improve. And, as your Page Rank improves, your site will creep up in search results and you will develop more search engine traffic.
Do you want to know how I do it? I have just completed my brand new guide on submitting articles to promote your site and make money.
Many people think that getting a website on the internet is an automatic ticket to fame, increased traffic and three-fold increase in sales figures. Alas, if they only knew that they are only at the bottom rung of a rather long ladder. Getting your business online is different from creating a website. To get your business online, you have to market it appropriately. You have to take certain definite steps towards attracting dedicated traffic which will in turn get converted into a huge customer base. Then you can truly say that you have arrived!
The first step in online website marketing is to get the word out. People must know that your website exists. If you already have a brick and mortar shop, then the best way to start publicizing your website is to let your regular customers know that they can simply shop online. Your regular customers will be delighted, particularly if you give them an added incentive like a free gift or a small discount. You may enhance your online presence through ads in your local papers, word of mouth and yellow page listings.
However, if your goal is to reach out to a global customer base, then, you have to get into in a more serious manner. One of the options is to make use of the services of online marketing firms. These firms have the expertise to provide complete business solutions to small businesses. They are experts in Search Engine Optimization techniques. Thus, they will incorporate code into your website that will help you claw your way up in search engine rankings. These firms will also go a step further and link your website with the important search engines, so your web presence will become conspicuous. In short, they will place you somewhere at the top of search engine listings. But they are pricey.
If you do not want to use the services of a firm, you could do a large part of website marketing by yourself. The first thing to remember is to let your viewers know what your business is about. A well laid out website is the best way to do this. Good design, cutting edge technology and helpful tools will help you attract customers.
The next step is to woo search engines so they peg you on top of their listings. There are many ways you can do this, but each of these steps requires persistence. Do not expect online website marketing to yield immediate results.
To attract search engines, your code must be search engine optimized:
* Include title and meta tags in your pages.
* Link your pages well.
* Use descriptions when you insert images.
* Use a sitemap because search engines love sitemaps.
* Update your content every few days because fresh content attracts search engines.
The next important tool in your kit is social media networking. This is nothing but logging on to Blogs and discussion forums related to your website, and posting on them. This way, you attract the notice of prospective customers, who will follow your link back to your website. Also, build and maintain relationships with products and companies that are associated with your products. They will link to you and you can return the favor. Use video and audio effectively on sites like YouTube where millions of people come. Do everything to build your network online.
Making money through your website is possible when you get involved in effective online website marketing. Just check out your best competitors and find out what they are doing. Duplicate it with some extra effort and you could easily become #1 in your niche!
– With OnlyBusiness.com you can get both a high-quality, professional business website design which sits as a stand-alone web entity, and also become part of a greater, business-focused network, where their businesses and brands enjoy ongoing promotion and exposure.
Article marketing can reward you with a number of significant benefits. If done properly, it can generate monthly income for your online business. It can bring in loads of traffic. And it can improve the Page Rank of your site. But, if you just write one or two articles a week, you will not accomplish any of these goals. You have to write at least four to five articles a week (one a day would be better and three a day would be best) and you have to submit your articles to the best article submission sites.
What do I mean by the best articles submission sites? For the most part, these are the largest article directories, and usually include sites with a Page Rank of four and above. It does you little good to submit your articles to a site that gets little traffic.
That is why it is important to track your articles and check on the number of page views that your articles are getting once a month. If the article directory allows you to check your article stats, do so. Using that feature, you can determine the number of page views your articles are getting. If your articles are receiving few, if any, page views, stop submitting to them and submit to another.
If the article directory does not have an option to check your stats, a good stat counter can supply you with that information if you are linking your articles to your website (and you should be).
In addition to submitting your articles to the best article submission sites, you should also submit them to a number of directories that are related to your niche. Normally, these sites will attract people that are actively looking for information on a particular subject. If you are promoting a product or your website, this is a very good place to submit articles to generate interested prospects.
So, in closing, do not submit articles to the very small or new directories. Submit them where it will benefit you most. Send them to the best article submission sites. That way, if the articles are well written. You know that you will get your fair share of page views.

Of all the areas of Internet Marketing, Search Engine Optimization is the most misunderstood, and potentially the most important to your marketing efforts. There are millions upon millions of pages of web content out there — you can work hard, build a great site, and then be totally lost in the shuffle. SEO is important. It’s also a very complex process that requires patience, careful planning and a long-term approach.
If you’re just getting started with:
Selecting an SEO firm
Trying to start a search engine campaign on your own
Reviewing your current SEO efforts
…read on. This article should provide you with a high-level review of the SEO process, dispel a few SEO myths, and help you understand legitimate optimization strategies.
What is Search Engine Optimization?
Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, defies easy definition. But here’s a short version:
Search Engine Optimization Using keyword analysis and other legitimate practices to gain the highest possible search engine and directory rankings, under a given key phrase, for a given URL.
Every SEO professional in the world just cringed, so I’ll break this definition down a bit and hopefully prevent a hail of angry e-mails:
Keyword Analysis is the process of mining keyword search data to find the best balance between the keywords you need and the best potential search niche. More on this later.
Search Engine means an automated search engine. ‘Search Engines’ include Google, AlltheWeb.com, Yahoo (powered by Google plus their own directory information), AOL Search, Ask Jeeves and MSN Search. A search engine obtains its results from ‘spiders’ or ‘bots’ — small programs that come to your web site read it in much the same way you would: By reading the content on a page, and then moving from page to page via links. A directory, on the other hand, is built at least in part by human beings reading sites and other information and deciding where each site fits into the directory structure. Yahoo’s directory area and Open Directory are both examples of directories.
Ranking is the numeric rank reflecting your position in the results list when someone performs a search on a particular set of keywords.
Highest Possible means getting as close to number one as you can. Sometimes you just can’t get that number one spot. Maybe someone else has a 400-page web site solely dedicated to the key phrase for which you’re attempting to optimize. Or maybe they’re paying a fortune in advertising. That’s life, sometimes…
Key Phrase is the keyword or set of keywords someone types into the little ‘search’ field in Google or Alta Vista or any other search engine.
A URL is the address of one page on your site. Most search engines display keyword search results and provide a link directly to the page most relevant to those results, rather than your home page. It’s very, very important to keep that in mind when you build and optimize your site.
Legitimate Practices is a pet peeve of mine. A true search engine optimization campaign will not use practices such as page or content cloaking, redirects, or lists of links (so-called ‘link farms’) but relies on good coding practices, well-written content, steady link popularity work and site features that will be every bit as valuable for site visitors as for search engine ranking. Anything less is a short-term fix that will likely reduce your rankings more often than increase them.
So, the long version of the definition would be:
Search Engine Optimization Using keyword analysis, good coding practices, well-written copy, link popularity analysis and careful site organization to move a web page as close to the number one search results position as possible for a given key phrase, in both search engines and directories.
Hey, that’s not so bad after all. But how do you get started? First, you separate reality from myth…
SEO Urban Legends
There are quite a few SEO myths out there. Here are my favorites:
The Keywords META Tag Matters. Mostly wrong. Only Inktomi pays any attention to the keywords meta tag. You should do something basic, but don’t bother putting in keywords that aren’t supported by your page content.
Search Engines can read Flash, images and video. Sorry, and Ford isn’t selling a flying car yet, either. Search engines can read one thing: Text. Anything else, while perfectly legitimate as a design tool, will not help your ranking. And relying too heavily on Flash or images may reduce your site’s visibility. Google is one partial exception — they can read some links in Flash, but still have very limited ability to read Flash content.
Mirroring my site in multiple locations will improve ranking. Actually, just the opposite. Duplication of content will generally have no effect or, worse, reduce your ranking in major search engines. Most search engines now have rules against this form of ‘spam’ and may reduce your ranking or ban your site altogether.
‘Doorway’ pages improve ranking. Pages that have lots of keywords but then quickly redirect to the main site will not help you in major search engines, such as Google. And, if someone catches you and reports you to Google or the other search engine, you may be banned altogether. A ‘landing’ or ‘bridge’ page, though, that’s designed to be as useful for users as for search engines, and does not redirect the user, can help by providing keyword-rich content that’s genuinely worthwhile.
Firms promising to get me #1 rankings in 10,000 search engines for $99.95 can help. I alternate between tooth-grinding and hysterical laughter when I see these ads. First, there aren’t 10,000 search engines. Actually, there are probably 10-20 you should really worry about. Getting listed in the other thousand or so is largely a waste of time. Second, no one can guarantee any ranking in any search engine for a specific keyword. Period. And finally, the price is less than half the cost to get an express submission in a single directory (Yahoo). Chances are anyone trying to get you to spend the $99.95 is operating a ‘link farm’ where they list dozens, or hundreds, of sites. While they won’t hurt your ranking, they won’t help, either. To learn more about how to choose an SEO firm, check out Google’s article: .
Firms charging me more money and guaranteeing a #1 ranking on Google can help. This is the latest SEO scam. I can get you a number one ranking on Google, too, as long as I get to pick the keyword or can get you ranked under a fairly unique company name. But no one, and I mean no one can guarantee a #1 rank under a specific keyword. Even Google says so.
Forget the myths — if an offer seems too good to be true, it is. The truth is that search engines are now almost savvy enough to read your pages like a human being would, so anything that will drive away a typical site visitor will also probably reduce your ranking. Things that will increase your search engine ranking include:
Well-written content
Good, clean HTML code
Useful, relevant TITLE tags
Useful, relevant DESCRIPTION tags
Relevant, appropriate links from other web sites
There are some basic steps that, well executed, will do more to increase your page rank than an ocean of snake oil. The SEO Campaign Process
A typical SEO campaign starts with keyword analysis, and then emphasizes insuring your site doesn’t impede search engine bots and follows up with ongoing link and traffic analysis. If you like pretty pictures, here’s one:
What’s a Bot? A ‘bot’ is a program used by a search engine to read the content of your site into a directory. I mentioned this briefly in ‘What is Search Engine Optimization?’ above. Keep up, now….
Step 1: Keyword Analysis. Ah, keywords. If you say the right word enough times on your site, you’ll get that coveted #1 spot, right? Wrong. Choosing the right keywords starts with you making a list of the keywords or phrases under which you’d like to be found, and typically ends up somewhere completely different. Typically, selecting the best keywords is a four-step process:
List the keywords and phrases under which you’d like to be found.
Find out whether anyone searches on those keywords, and whether they’re searching for relevant items.
Find out how many other sites are struggling for rankings under those keywords.
Pick keywords with the same meaning but a better search-to-competition ratio.
Maybe I want to rank #1 under ‘Search Engine Optimization’. Guess what? There are 686,000 other URLs in Google trying for that spot. Hmmm. But wait! Under ‘Seattle Search Engine Optimization’ there are only 19,000. So, I targeted that key phrase, instead. And guess what? We got a #3 ranking.
Don’t forget about relevance, either. If you want a high ranking under ‘tires’, you’re going to have your work cut out for you. And in the end you’ll likely end up getting found for ‘bicycle tires’, ‘automobile tires’, ‘spare tires’ and who knows what else. Is it worth it? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. But you have to do your homework to find out.
Data Mining and Keywords If you’re doing a campaign for a large site, you may end up testing and comparing thousands of keywords and phrases. Having a good data-mining tool (even Excel will do) on hand is important when you’re doing keyword analysis. We use S-Plus, by Insightful Software. It’s saved our lives, and clicker fingers, several times.
There are several tools that help you research the number of searches and competitors for keywords. Wordtracker (http://www.wordtracker.com) is a good one — don’t depend on their results from Overture, though, unless you’re specifically preparing an Overture campaign. Metacrawler’s MetaSpy tool is worth a look, too. Ideally, look at results from a few different sources.
Keyword analysis is the hardest part of a campaign, in number-crunching terms. It requires a lot of work and may not tell you what you want to hear. But in my experience it’s critical to a successful campaign.
Step 2: Search Engine Readiness. Almost every web site we review has one or more problems that will prevent search engine bots from properly reading all content. Typical showstoppers include:
An all-Flash or all-images home page
A home page that automatically redirects to another page
Pop-up ads (does anyone really read these things?)
A site full of pages with fewer than 400 words on a page
Broken links
Navigation that is generated by JavaScript
No TITLE or DESCRIPTION tags
A major step in any SEO campaign is making sure that the site will present the friendliest profile to search engines. Happily, the investment in optimizing will also pay off in a faster, more universally compatible site.
Step 3. Content and Site Preparation. You’ve done your research: You know which keywords match your message, and your site’s HTML code is one big search engine welcome mat. Now it’s time to make sure that your site contains those keywords. This is where I most often see folks get confused — should you rewrite your web content to emphasize keywords? Yes, but with extreme caution. Should you make small, appropriate changes? Yes. Here are my guidelines for content preparation.
Don’t write for keywords (much). This almost always leads to stilted, hard-to-read prose. Writing keyword-rich content that really works for users is an art form. Be careful.
Do a little careful editing. If you use the word ‘car’ but ‘auto’ is the keyword you need, chances are you can do a few replacements without marring your carefully crafted copy.
Spend time on the titles and description tags. Make sure every page in your site has a unique, relevant TITLE and DESCRIPTION tag.
Never use an automatic page generator. Tools like WebPosition Gold offer to generate optimized pages for you. Don’t. They tend to hurt your ranking as much as help, and they generate ugly, ugly pages.
Write more stuff. More content is almost always better. If your site is just missing a specific keyword or phrase, but you think it’s important, then your potential customers probably do too. By adding a few more pages, or a white paper, or some other content focusing on those absent keywords, you’ll likely help visitors and improve your keyword ranking at the same time. And, the more text-rich your site is, the better the odds that you’ll catch longer, stranger but really important key phrases that you can’t anticipate.
Step 4. Link Analysis. Quite a few major search engines (Google, most importantly) weigh your ‘link popularity’ when ranking your site. A more accurate term, though, is ‘link analysis’, because these engines don’t just count up the number of links to your site. They look for links near and containing relevant text. So a page full of links, one of which happens to be yours, won’t help very much. But a link from a related site, near a short paragraph that contains relevant keywords, will probably give you a boost. Having keywords in the link itself is even better. A quick example:
doesn’t help much.
For search engine optimization, visit http://www.portentinteractive.com is much better.
For search engine optimization, visit Portent Interactive where ‘search engine optimization’ is the link to Portent, is the absolute best case.
There are a few ways to build your link popularity:
Contact sites that relate to yours and request a link exchange. This works really well, but obviously takes a long time.
Syndicate your content. If you can provide an easy way for interested webmasters to link directly to relevant stories on your site, you provide an instant link popularity boost, and get your message out to boot.
Start an affiliate program. If you sell a product, consider setting up an affiliate sales program.
Google’s ‘One Site, One Vote’ Rule Google awards a lot less weight to a link to your site if that link is on a page with lots of other links. That’s why so-called ‘link farming’ doesn’t work. Ideally, you want a link to your site from a page that includes relevant content and not that many other outgoing links.
Step 5. Submit your site. Many search engines, Google included, allow you to submit your site for free. Generally you can submit your home page and let the search engine crawl the rest of your site. Some directories and engines offer paid ‘express’ services, and some, like Teoma, require that you pay for URL submission. Which engines you choose depends on your budget and campaign.
Step 6. Review, Revise, and Keep Going. Think you’re done? Wrong — search engine optimization is an ongoing project. At least once per month, review your rankings, site traffic reports and link popularity and tweak your site as necessary. The tools you need to measure results are:
Site traffic reports. Any web hosting company should provide you with a web site traffic report, and almost all of the reporting tools in use today provide a ‘referrals from search engines’ section. Take a look at this section for a good measure of campaign results.
Link counts. Use the link: command on Google (see above) to determine your link popularity.
Your keyword list. Search on the relevant search engines to see if your ranking has improved.
Your brain. You have to interpret what you see, and decide whether changes are warranted. There’s no hard and fast rule for this, and no magic formula. Sorry about that…
So now you’ll get instant results, right? Well, not quite…
A Word About Expectations
Search engine optimization can take time. Even Google only refreshes its entire index once a month, so don’t expect instant results.
If your first registration run doesn’t generate increased rankings within a month or two, don’t panic. Look at your site traffic and search on the keywords you chose. Make sure that the search engine you’re checking actually includes your site, too — most likely the bots just haven’t gotten around to ‘crawling’ your site.
Still stumped? Find a professional. Sure, we cost money. But you may have missed something about your site that’s preventing a good keyword rank, and a second set of eyes can help.
A Solid Marketing Strategy
Obviously, Search Engine Optimization is a big job. But nothing can send more traffic to your site, for lower per-click cost. If you follow the basic steps, and keep at it, you will definitely get results. What’s really, really important is to make sure you don’t award too much weight to one step (such as link popularity) at the expense of the others. A well-rounded campaign will provide solid, long-term results.
What about pay per click? Pay-per-click services, such as Overture and Google Adwords, are very different animals. If you’ve done your keyword analysis you’re halfway there, but there are other tasks. I’ve not talked about them in this article because, well, they need an article of their own. Check back soon…

Directories are search engines powered by human beings. Human editors compile all the listings that directories have. Directories consist of a collection of categories into which links are separated. Categories can have sub-categories to make the division of links more specific.
Sites started popping up where you could pay for a program that would automatically submit to thousands of sites for you or you could pay a monthly fee and they would do it for you. The quality of these various services and programs is mixed. Sites of low quality, illegal materials, inappropriate content and those submitting multiple or spam my submissions will not be included in our directory. Please don’t waste your time or ours.
Publish your own blog with easy to use tools. Share your favorites with friends. Publishers can select articles to publish on their websites, in newsletters or ezines.
Search engine friendly article submission directory. Search and see what comes up on the Internet. Search engines value links from quality web directories because it means that your site has been checked and selected by a human being. But not all web directories are equal, and you want to be careful when submitting your site to not just throw good money after bad links.
Submitting your articles to different article directories can contribute to your site’s maximum exposure. Heedfulness is necessary in choosing the best article directories to submit to, that’s if you are doing the manual submission. Submit only one URL a day (no more than five).

One of the biggest reasons why many organizations are not doing even simple things to help people find their websites in search engines is they simply don’t understand how search engines work. This article is intended to explain the basics of how search engines work and in the course of doing so shatter some search engine myths and help you understand what you can do to help people find your website in search engines. What is a search engine? The first to step to understanding how search engines work is to understand what a search engine is. The simplest explanation is that search engine is a tool for finding things online. There are many different types of search engines but they can be put into two major categories…
Human-Powered Directories The first “search engines” were not actually search engines as we think of them today, but searchable directories of websites organized by hierarchical categories. A site is added to a directory when the website owner fills out a submission form on the directory’s website requesting their site be included in the directory and include their website’s title, description, URL (web address), and category. A moderator later reviews the site and if it meets the directory’s criteria a listing for that site is added or activated. The original Yahoo was originally a human-powered directory, and directories like Open Directory Project continue on today.
The downside of the human-powered search engine is that it only includes websites that have been submitted to it, which means you may not find what you’re looking for especially if it’s a new web page. The other downside from the directories’ point of view is that reviewing every site submitted is very labor-intensive and costly. I know because my company’s “search engine”, , like almost all church/Christian “search engines”, is a human-powered directory.
Crawler/Spider-Powered Search Engines The next generation of search engines has programs which actively seek out new sites and read them into their indexes. These programs are called crawlers, spiders, robots, or bots. All of largest and most popular search engines today are of this type, including Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Ask.
The rest of this article is focused on how these crawler/spider-powered search engines work because more than 99% of searches are done on this type of search engine.
The Crawler As mentioned above, the first part of a search engine is the crawler (AKA spider, robot, and bot). The crawler reads pages into the search engine raw database of every page the search engine crawler has read. Some important things to know about crawlers…
1) Search bots periodically reread every web page in their database. Why does this matter?
• You don’t have to do anything when you change your site. If your site is already listed in a search engine and you make changes to your website, search engines will eventually update their information. • You do have to be patient. The frequency of re-crawling varies depending on the search engine, the importance of your site (as determined by the search engines), and how often you update it. It could take a day or it could take more than a week.
2) Search bots follow links on the pages that have already been crawled in order to find new pages. Why does this matter?
• If you add a new page to your website or create a new website, it’s important to add a link to it on a web page that is already in the search engines. • If a web page that is already in the search engines has a link to your new page or new website, you do not need to submit a request to the search engines to crawl the new page or website, though it may still be worth doing just to be sure your website will be found quickly.
3) Some search engines have forms you can submit to request a website be crawled. Why does this matter?
• If you have a new website and no sites link to it, search bots will not be able to find it. In this case, submitting a form to the search engine requesting your site be listed or indexed can get it into search engines. • Because human-powered directories do not have search bots/crawlers, to be listed in them you must submit a request form.
The Ranking Algorithm Some time after a web page has been crawled by the search bot or crawler, the search engine then processes or indexes the page to determine what search words and phrases the page is relevant to as well as how relevant that page is compared with other web pages for those phrases. During this processing the search engine looks at many different factors including how many times each word and phrase occurs on the page, which words are in headings or bold, the domain name of the site, filename of the page, the pages that link to the page, and many more.
Exactly which factors a search engine looks at and how they’re weighted is called the search engine’s search ranking algorithm. It’s like the search engine’s “secret sauce.” Each search engine’s algorithm is different and each is a heavily guarded secret.
Why does this matter?
• There is time between when your site is crawled (or recrawled) and when it is processed or indexed. So, it can take as little as a few hours to many days or weeks before changes to your website may produce changes in its search rankings. • Because each search engine’s ranking algorithm is different, a web page can be #1 in Google but #20 in Yahoo for a particular phrase. • Because each search algorithm is a heavily guarded secret nobody outside of a few select engineers at each search engine knows exactly how much each particular factor weighs into the rankings of each search engine. But, people who spend their professional lives helping sites rank better in search engines have gained very good idea as to what factors matter most. • Because the search ranking algorithms look at text, headings, and other elements on a web page, changing things on the web page can change where that web page appears in the search results. • Search ranking algorithms look at factors outside of a web page, such as the age of a website and links to the web page. So, there are other factors which you may have less influence over.
The goal of every search engine is to display to the user the information or websites the user is looking for. In other words every search engine wants to provide the best, most relevant results. As a result, search engines are constantly improving their algorithms and including new factors which they think will produce better search results. Why does this matter? As search algorithms change, so will your website’s search engine rankings.
The Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) The crawling of websites and indexing of web pages are constantly going on even when no one is searching. The last part in the search process is part that you’re probably most familiar with – the actual search. You type in a word, short phrase, or question, and the search engine displays a list of websites.
That list of websites is called the search engine results page and sometimes referred to as the SERPs.
If you do a search and look at the SERP, you’ll notice two columns. Above the right column it says “Sponsored Links.” These are paid advertisements. The companies and organizations listed here pay a fee to Google for each person who clicks their ad, so they’re often referred to as Pay-Per-Click or PPC ads.
In the left column are the unpaid search results also sometimes called the organic results or natural results. These are the websites the search engine believes are most relevant to the search phrase that was queried. Sometimes search engines also display sponsored links in the left column above the natural results or will even place a block of pay-per-click ads in the middle of the natural results. Sponsored links are always labeled, though not always very clearly.
Why does this matter?
From the searcher’s perspective, there is nothing wrong with clicking on a paid link. You may find what you’re looking for there. But it’s important to be aware of which websites paid to be in the results and which are there naturally.
From the web administrator’s perspective, it’s important to understand there are two opportunities to get to the top of the search engine rankings, through natural results and by purchasing pay-per-click advertising.
Help the Search Engines With a better understanding how search engines work, you can make better decisions about the marketing of your website though search engines. Search engines need your help to find your website and to know what words and phrases it’s relevant for. Give them the help they need. That’s where search engine optimization comes in, but I’ll get to that on another day.

If you know how Google does their math to rank websites then guess what? Your on your way to the first Google search results page and an increase in sales big time.
I found a few websites that are extremely helpful to the internet marketer and website owner. If you are having a problem with your website not showing up in Google search for your products, then you might as well not even have a website.
Does your website get minimal traffic and you don’t know why? There are a lot of questions on this subject, but I am not here to answer them. I will refer you to the experts and the best online sources where I learned my SEO skills.
I will also be telling you about how I increased traffic to my website by taking a couple of online Google Adwords and Article Marketing classes.
You can take a Google Adwords Class or a Article Marketing class online in one evening for the condensed version of the course.
I don’t want to overwhelm you so I will give you three things that will improve your knowledge on this subject beyond belief. Later on when I update this article I will be offer more info on improving your ranking on Google.

You know all that extra time you have to work on Search Engine Optimization? [A little sarcasm there] Actually, I tried to put together a list of quick things you can do that will help you move a little higher in your Google or Yahoo results.
1. Get listed in more search engines. There are tons of them out there. There are also many free services that will help you get listed. Or just set aside some time to get it done yourself. Here is a free search engine submission site that will let you cycle through the top 100 search engines and get your site submitted.
2. Get listed in more directories. Again, there are a lot of them out there. Look for higher pagerank directories. Improvingrank.com has some listed by pagerank. Look on the left side of the homepage.
3. Clean up your html and check your links. You want the bots to have smooth sailing through your site. Use the tools on W3c.org and have a real person check them over too.
4. Get a few more links to your site. Make them relevant and at least the same pagerank as you.
5. Make your page filenames descriptive and keyword rich. Naming your page new_page_1.html is wasting an opportunity to do some SEO. Use names that describe the content and keep the keywords flowing.
6. Check your Title tags. You can use 90 – 100 characters in the title, so add some keywords. We know Google looks at them, and so do many more search engines.
7. Check your ALT tags. Searchbots can’t see pictures. Make sure you have ALT tags on all of your pictures, and make sure they are descriptive and keyword rich.
8. Rewrite your URL (anchor) tags. Good anchor tags (the text between the http: and /a tags) reinforce the message and key words of your site.
9. Go post in a few forums and put your website in your signature. Forums are a great place to put one way links. And you can help somebody out at the same time.
10. Put together a text based sitemap and put it on your site. There’s a lot of navigation that spiders can’t understand, such as flash, forms, java and javascript. Putting together a text-based sitemap gives the bots a way to navigate around the site.
Fifteen minutes every couple of days will make a huge difference in getting your rank higher.

So you have a cell phone, a Palm Pilot, an automated office complete with teleconferencing, remoteaccess,
Web site and e-mail addresses. So what? Just because you\’re always available to the media
doesn\’t mean the media has easy access to your clients. What will your high-tech office be able to do
when a reporter wants a press kit at 7 p.m. on a Friday evening? Nothing – except hastily prepare the
hard copy kit for a costly overnight shipment.
There is a simple way to eliminate the need for keeping a large inventory of hard copy press kits and
reduce your dependency on the shipping company guy: publish your clients\’ press kits online.
Making the move from hard copies to press kits published online that are always-accessible is essential
in today\’s age of e-mail. The corporate world lives by e-mail; reporters and other media professionals
are no different. These people are busy and time is always of the essence when they\’ve got deadlines
breathing down their necks. The decision to use your client in a story instead of someone else is
contingent on whose information is easiest to get. If it takes all night for your client\’s press kit to reach
their desk, you might get bumped.
I know what you\’re saying right now. “But, Drew, I e-mail my clients\’ press materials to the media.”
Well, that\’s great, but just because reporters use e-mail doesn\’t mean they open every stranger\’s
message that arrives in their inbox and it especially doesn\’t mean that they even bother opening your
attachments. Why? Because it\’s too risky.
First of all, everyone knows not to open an e-mail from someone you don\’t know; especially if there\’s
an attachment. This is e-mail safety 101. Strange e-mails with attachments usually mean one thing:
virus. At least, that\’s the take of most business\’s firewalls and anti-virus protection systems. You may
think you\’re making waves by mass e-mailing your media lists with attached press releases, but how
many calls are you getting back? Not many, since your important e-mail has been tossed out with the
“wasser” worm and those annoying “enlargement” e-mails.
So what\’s the solution? Reject technology and start snail-mailing and faxing again? No. Embrace
technology and publish your press kits online.
Now, an online press kit is not a Web site. Don\’t be confused by the term “online.” Though an online
press kit can be displayed online and present information like a Web site, it is really a virtual folder or
briefcase that allows you to upload and store your press materials on the Internet. Once in your online
press kit folder, these documents and images can be distributed as links – not attachments.
When you prepare your sharp, concise e-mail pitch to the media, you simply insert links to your clients\’
press kits. When the reporter clicks the link, the document can be opened and saved on their computer.
It opens like an attachment, but the documents themselves live online. Instead of piling them onto your
e-mail, you\’re simply providing directions (a link) to get to them. They become part of the e-mail
message, so a media outlet\’s virus protection system won\’t automatically kick it out of the system.
Virtually anything can be uploaded to an online press kit: press releases, high-resolution images, video
and audio clips, graphics and more. Plus, since you have control over your online press kits, you can
always be sure they\’re up to date.
Now you\’re thinking “Wow, these things sound great, but I bet they are expensive.” Not necessarily.
Though there are online press kit programs available that cost into the thousands, they usually include
extra features you don\’t really need and will probably never use. Think of the online press kit market as
the binder or folder aisle at your favorite office supply store. Sure there are binders with all kinds of
extras, but you pass those by for what you need and the price you can live with.
Face it – technology is only going to get better and faster. Don\’t be left in its dust trying to wave down
that brown truck with your emergency overnight press kit. By going online with your clients\’ press kits,
you\’re not only making them easy to access, but easy to cover by the media. The media loves that – and
so will your clients.
Reality Check time:
When it comes to Site Promotion (which SEO is used for) Okay, so you want to be be technical? It\’s used to position your site in the search engine to get traffic, visitors, or simply buyers. Maybe you just have a community message that you want to spread domestically or even globally or sell globally or domestically. Whatever the case. Look me in my eye when I tell you this: (figuratively speaking)

I soon learned after joining my team of software and internet experts that getting indexed could take months or longer. You can\’t just put up a site and get it indexed just like that I learned. I felt like I had been tricked into believing it was easy to be seen and get customers to buy from me.

But listen, it was then that I join the force.
I got indexed in less than 30 minutes. I started getting traffic in ten minutes by looking at my awstats( an internally built traffic counter housed in your sites cpanel database).

I have 4 close friends in my circle and I got them all hooked on Bruteforce and Bruteforce evo 2 after using it.
they have all used Bruteforce evo 2 for various reasons:
One of my friends,
Douglous Z
put his myspace page worldwide and was invited over to China. he was welcomed with open arms and was treated like a celebrity because Chinese citizens recognized him as so called Doug z, the internet DJ with a chip on his shoulder.
Lucinda Bruno
took her books worldwide on ebay and ships to finland daily by promoting her site translated into finnish lango and promoting it with Bruteforce and with Bruteforce evo 2.
A friend of mine name Professor Dana Seiter took a pretty popular going green non profit message globally. I know you\’ve heard of it and she promoted it with Bruteforce and with Bruteforce evo 2. A Pretty popular United Way type organization picked up the slogan.
Ernest Kulzer (another friend of mine who works with me, and uses BFS for personal stuff on his off time) does the all but popular CPA. He says he used to think it was an overflooded market with clickbank and commission junction and amazon. But he remains on page 1 in google, msn, and yahoo for the phrase improve credit score which is a highly competeitive term. He promotes his affiliate links via Bruteforce and with Bruteforce evo 2.
He makes no less than 5 sales per day for a pretty high ticket subscription based membership program. I\’m afraid he will be quitting soon because the money is so good and he will be buying his own Bruteforce Evo II membership.
