3 SEO Steps that Work For Every Web Site
Monday, September 17th, 2007 at 4:29 pm by Gracie Browning
Many of the self-appointed experts out there would like for you to believe that there is some secret formula to get your site into the top ten search engine results listings.
There is not a secret formula, but there are some techniques that can help. SEO is an on-going task that you will not ever really successfully complete, and don’t expect it to be easy.
The first step is Long-Term Thinking: Remember that nothing happens overnight and your website isn’t going to be in the top listing of the search engines quickly. It will take time so you must expect to stick around long enough to succeed. The search engines recognize this to some degree. The point is that you will need to spend money on advertising long before you begin to make a profit. There is an old saying, “It takes money to make money”. This is true where SEO is concerned. You must invest in yourself. You don’t have to deplete your bank account but you do have to advertise regularly.
The second step is Intelligent Site Structure:
Don’t let anybody tell you that your site structure doesn’t matter. It does! A sloppy and poorly designed site is never going to get top search engine ratings. It is super important to make certain that every link on your site works and that you site is easy to navigate. It is also vital that you make sure that you title, meta description and meta tags are optimized.
The third step is Consistently High Quality Content: Haven’t you heard? Content is king on the internet. That is true but it doesn’t refer to just any old content. High quality, relevant content make your pages link-worthy. There is simply no substitute for strong titles and well-written articles that contain your keywords - and real information that real people can use.
None of these steps will put your site into the top ten search engine results over night…but then there aren’t any steps that will do that!
