• WHAT NEWBIES ARE MISSING ...
• Introduction
• What is SEO?
• SEO search engine optimization is where you
  optimize your website so that Google, Yahoo
  Bing search engines can locate your website due
  to its value and great content and rank it high
  such as the 1st page of Google this is HUGE and
  that is where all the F.R.E.E traffic comes from
  )

• What Well Cover
• In this short article, I will be covering the
  basics of SEO. Things you MUST do to get your
  website ranked. It is very simple, I am sure you
  know it, and if you dont, then get to it.
• This is for newbies ONLY. Advanced marketers
  will not find something new other than logic
  here.
• SEO, What You Shouldnt Do
• Dont take your optimizing too far.

• WHY?
• That is because search engines want to rank
  natural, high quality page-websites, where the
  quality of the content is informative and
  helpful.
• Beware if you use any sort of tricks to rank
  high, the algorithm may locate your website and
  youd likely have a penalty. That said, your
  website will drop in rankings.
• Make sure your website is as natural as can be.
  Focus on the flow of your content, how your
  articles are categorized, do they make sense or
  not.

• Ask yourself when someone lands on your site,
  what are they likely to do first? Or why would
  they leave? Is it your Design? Content? Or your
  Products?
•  
•  
• Okay, so now we move on to the Backlinks.
• What are Backlinks?
• Backlinks exist when a link on a website other
  than yours link back to your site. The more
  backlinks you have, the higher youd rank. It has
  been said metaphorically, that each backlink acts
  as a vote to your website.

• Why are Backlinks Important?
• The search engines detect the number of backlinks
  and rate your website accordingly.
• Back in the days it was easy for anyone to rank
  high with a few backlinks but now as the SEO
  techniques became worldwide, people have been
  gaining hundreds even thousands of backlinks on a
  daily basis to rank high. This worked for a while
  bit not anymore. Eventually the search engines
  got where the marketers are going and so now they
  are rating the quality of backlinks.

• If a backlink was low or was misdirected of any
  kind for example had no relation to the actual
  content then the site wont rank high.
• Get this
• 1 Backlink from a high ranking quality site in
  your niche is worth MORE than 1000 backlinks from
  sites of junk.
• Dont build 1000 backlinks a day, take your time.
  
• Look for links of quality. Weight loss for Wieght
  loss niches not Golf courses see what I mean?.

• NEVER considering purchasing links for backlinks
  youll get banned definitely with time.
• Never stop, even if you are on the 1st page
  remember, others are always working to get to
  where you are once youre there ).

• Anchor text what is it?
• It is the text you use linking to a webpage.
• How Does a link on HTML page looks like?
• Take a look
• lta hrefhttp//www.SarahAl.comgtAnchor Textlt/agt
• All I am saying is you need to focus on including
  your keyword in that text.
• For example, you want to link to a page about
  Feeding Babies, can you guess what the link would
  mostly be? Itll go something like this, Feeding
  Little Babies.
• The search engines will notice and it is
  considered as a bonus.
• NOTE Make sure you make your link seem as
  natural as can be. The slighted over-optimization
  can affect your rankings.
• Use your main keywords as much as possible, but
  dont take it too far.

• Now lets talk about Keywords
• How important are Keywords?
• Keywords to me personally are THE aspect of SEO
  success.
• You have to have the right keywords merged in
  with your valuable content. What Ill do is
  this
• - Choose my main keyword
• - Purchase a domain name with that main keyword
• - Use the Google Keyword Tool to find the first
  10 related keywords that appear.
• - Make sure the keywords you chose have at least
  300 local monthly searches making sure there is
  traffic to rank for!.
• - Take note of the 10 keywords, choose 5 to start
  with.
• - Write your first article try to include ALL 5
  keywords. But make you make sense, DO NOT overdue
  your keywords. Be careful with that.

• Make sure that there isnt too much competition,
  if there is it mainly means youll have to work
  Xgt harder to rank for. If your starting with SEO,
  look for lower completion keywords, that way
  youll rank faster, once your happy with your
  pace of work and your results, take it up to the
  next level.

• As for your Content
• Make sure that you have great content.
• If you dont, then dont expect Google to rank
  your site high. Google believe it or not cares
  about what their customers read and their overall
  satisfaction. They would never place junky site
  on the first pages of Google. That is why content
  is very important to be natural, to seem
  authentic to the reader.

• Content should be real, it should also be one of
  a kind.
• Dont rewrite articles, the search engines will
  ultimately detect that and un-index your site. If
  you want to build a profitable business, make
  sure the foundation your build is a strong one.
• Be honest with your content.
• The key is to always put yourself in the readers
  mind, what would they do when they land on your
  site, how would they find it, what would seem
  difficult..etc Always give the reader to stay and
  most importantly, to come back.
