subject: Targeted traffic to your website, best ways to do SEO [print this page] Bringing traffic to your website is goal for all the webmasters. If we can filter and bring only targeted visitors, then it will increase conversions. Below, I have given some quick andeasy ways to bring targeted visitors.
Before starting let me explain to you; you will have to work manually in order to get some results.
1. Create a list of press release websites and make this list in excel file. Register with all these websites and store all login information in a place to get them easily when required.
If you do not know what press release website is? Search Google for free press release websites. You will see lots of websites offering free press release service.
Another good way to find good PR website: search for your product, services. You will find little news content showing in first page of Google result. Open these websites and check if they offer free press release service. You have to target these websites.
(Preferably you should have best 20 websites for your industry)
2. Create a list of article websites, here again you have to register with them all manually. Save this list in excel file with username & password.
(For starting you should have 50 good article websites)
3. Search for free directories, spend your time in filtering them and select them based on your product & services. You should select best 100 directories, register with them all and create a list in excel format. Save all username & password. You can find a list here directorycritic.com/free-directory-list.html
There are thousands of directories but as I said, select only best 100 and make sure they have relevant categories. Never do a reciprocal linking. Generally these websites offer free one way links but they ask you for a link for a better and faster listing, you should avoid that. Try to give good title and description for your listing. Lets take an example, if you are in business of selling tour package you should write something like this.
Title: Tour packages to offered by .
Description: offers tour packages to , we are in business of tourism from past
Do not make it very big or very small, keep it understandable and while doing submission you should change title after every 10th submission to target another set of keywords.
For example if you are writing one title in first 10 submission, make sure you are changing the title from 11th submission and this way you can make it more natural.
4. Search for review websites, find best 10 websites offering review for products & services you are offering. Create account with them and write genuine information about your website, products & services. All these information should be saved for future use.
Links from these websites help you and your customers as well, do not worry about bad remarks, if you find a situation where your competitor is writing something wrong to create bad name, reply polity, you will not see them after 2 months, keep patience. Such people are not for long time.
5. Now time is for social media, create pages, accounts with social media websites. Do not go for volume, create account with FaceBook, Twitter, MySpace & Digg, You should give a bookmark option on your every page, so people can recommend your page if they like. You should not use social media websites to post each & every link you have. Your them with responsibility.
6. Now you should create a webmasters account with Google, if you do not have one. Google offers free webmasters account, you can sign up
8. You should submit this sitemap to Google through Googles webmasters account.
Now the functional part, till now we have these things ready:
List of press release websites
List of Article websites
List of review websites
Social media website list, your have account with them and
Webmasters account, you have create and uploaded xml sitemap
For tracking your progress you can create statcounter account & Google analytics account. I recommend them both.
Now you should download any open source project management tool like the one available on projity.com
This will help you in scheduling the entire SEO project. Once you have installed this, you can open and create your first project. Schedule work as given below:
Plan for first 30 days
You should write 1 article and 1 press release daily
You should do submission every alternative day and not daily for both articles and PR content. You will be submitting 2 articles & 2 PR every alternative day.
By the end of 30 days you should have 30 articles and 30 PR written and published into 20 PR websites and 50 article website.
Make sure that you are having links from these articles and PR content to your website, distribute links to all pages, you should get links to inner pages as well. All links should be relevant to topic. Some article websites offers links only form authors profile, so create a good profile with one paragraph of information about the services you offer. Here you can have a link pointing to home page of website. Do not give like to www.yourdomainname.com/index.html or index.asp, better give link to www.yourdomainname.com
Before you start writing all these articles & PRs you should do a small keyword research by using https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
Keyword research in very important part of the entire SEO process, using this free tool you can have an idea what people are searching for, and how many times people are searching these keywords, how tough it is to get ranking for a particular keyword.
Use this adwords keyword tool and check carefully each & every keyword you see.
Download excel files with keyword list and short them in ascending order, easy to tough keywords. Remove all those keywords from list which is not relevant and save this final list.
You have to write articles for each keyword relevant to your business. Each and every keyword in this list can bring traffic to your website.
Using webmasters account, you should keep an eye on number of links pointing to your website as displayed in webmasters account. You can check that by clicking on Dashboard in webmasters account. Google offers some features like info:www.domainname.com and link:www.domainname.com so on, you can read all this here: http://www.google.com/support/websearch/bin/topic.py?topic=351
Google never displays the real number of back links known, but you can use webmasters account to get an idea.
If your website is new, it can take up to a week time to start displaying links and other details in webmasters account, make sure you have validated your website by uploading html file given by webmasters tool account.
You should create a section on your websites for articles and publish all these articles and PR content. There are few very important points you should keep in mind while writing these articles:
Write what is relevant to your business
Never copy content from some other websites
Give a good title, relevant to the topic
Refer, link to other websites only if it is really required
Write in simple language so that users can read and understand easily
Avoid grammatical and spelling mistakes
Use Googles translator tool so that users who do not know English language can read and get benefited from your information
Publish content as per schedule, never make it too much or too less, keep a pace and maintain that.
Once you reach 10,000 links according to webmasters account (number of websites linking to you) you can concentrate on building an authority website, you can stop publishing your articles to these third party websites. This is not a must, you can always continue doing this, but at this point you should spend your time on your own website. You should better spend your time on writing valuable information related to your business, services & products.
You can double your efforts on writing articles once you reach 10 thousand back-link, now you can create a new schedule and write 2 articles daily, publish them on your own website every day.
To better manage your articles you can install open source cms system like wordpress,
I recommend wordpress because it is easy for new users and very much SEO friendly.
You can host your articles like this www.yourdomainname.com/infromation
You should read this article from the top to the bottom and understand what I wanted to tell you, and follow this for 2 months, I am sure you will see increased numbers of targeted visitors. If you are able to do this for 6 months, I am sure; you will be mailing me a thank you email.
