Search Engine Optimization Tips For Online Business Owners

By Arianna Dyer


In order for a business to grow and become successful via the web, it must first find a way to market itself and reach the audience it wishes to sell to. To do this, the best method has always been search engine optimization. This is a tricky marketing approach due to all the options that it provides newcomers. Follow some basic strategy guidelines and you will have a higher rate of success.

If you want to find a certain phrase and you're using a search engine, put quotes around the phrase to bring back results with those exact words. "Orange juice containers" will bring back only results with those three words in that order, while simply searching for orange juice containers (without quotes), will bring back results with less accuracy.

Using the appropriate keywords in the right places is absolutely vital. These keywords should be placed in strategic spots where web crawlers take their data from. Examples of places from where web crawlers gather data are the titles, URLs, image names, and page headers. There are many more but this is where you should concentrate the bulk of your efforts.

Having relevant, keyword oriented page titles is one of the best SEO strategies. By choosing titles that accurately describe your page you are better able to inform human searchers and web crawlers about the content of your site. This will naturally boost your traffic as people are better able to find your site when they search for your particular niche.

Review your product line every so often and take some time to trim the fat, especially as you start to grow. If you are doing well on your sites that offer tier 2 and subscription commissions, it may be time to let go of the ones that only offer one time payouts.

Keep your keywords in mind, but create your page for the users. Search engines crawl for keywords but they are not the ones choosing to click on your link. A page title or meta description that is full of keywords without content will keep people from clicking on your link. One of the most important aspects of SEO is simply staying dedicated to the process. You must be vigilant in keeping up to date with new tactics as search engines are known to change their tactics regularly. Also, if you don't regularly modify your site, it will become stagnant and drop in the rankings.

You need to treat link building as a process that keeps going. Spend a few minutes every day on your link campaign. You can pay for services that will build your links for you, though those have proven not to be as effective as taking the time and doing it yourself.

These are just a few good ways to build the foundation of a successful empire. They should be followed even when you have progressed into the CEO of a million dollar company. This is because SEO will always be a powerful and growing way to market your company that can keep your business afloat in even the toughest economical times.
