Following on from Part 1, here is Part 2 of ‘3 Ways To Dramatically Improve Search Engine Rankings’ I have a simple 3-Stage Approach to getting ranked high in the search engines. Here, in Part 2, is my second Stage…

Stage 2. Get Your Website Seen:

If you goal is to get high up the search engine rankings (and it should be!) then you need to get the search services to ’see you’. This sounds an obvious statement but few people really think it through that much. In a nutshell, and avoiding all the techie jargon, search engines really want to find you, or more specifically your website. When someone types in a ’search query’ they are looking for some information. If your website is relevant to the information which is being searched for (we’ll talk about this later), then the search engines are very keen to link the person searching with your website, which they do with the search results the search engine discovers.

The key then, knowing the search engines really want to find your website, is to set up your website in such a way as to make it be easily found by the search engines. The way you do this is to adopt some basic, but very important ‘optimisation’ tricks on your website – what is called ‘on page optimisation’.

The interesting thing is, even though it’s really important to do what I’m about to share with you, the on-page optimisation’ methods only really are about 15% of what contributes towards your search results ranking. The 85% of where you figure in search results is dependant on the ‘off-page optimisation’ which I’ll cover in stage 3. Even though ‘on page optimisation’ only makes up for 15% towards how you get ranked, it is still crucial to carry out these basic but key steps:

a) Ensure your keyword(s) appear in your pages ‘Title tag’ of the header code of your website (if you’re not sure what this is, ask someone to show you who does know – it’s that important). This is vital because it is one of the key things that search engines are looking for – matching the words the searcher types into their search (the keywords) with the title of a website, which in turn should be relevant to the search query. You can take this a stage further by adding in a description in the ‘meta description tag’ again incorporating your keywords, and then the ‘meta keywords tag’ which simply includes all your keywords, comma separated.

The search engines don’t put so much relevancy these days on the description or keyword tags, but they’re worth doing either way, but it’s vital you include your keywords in the Title tag.

b) Make the webpage you are pointing the keyword towards relevant to that keyword. In other words don’t have a keyword like ‘dog training tips’ and then have a webpage all about horses, cats, dogs and loads of other animals with little specific relevancy to dogs or dog training – make sure the webpage is relevant to your keyword.

c) Build into your website a simple Sitemap. Understand that the way search engines search the web is they look for (crawl) words and phrases in all the code of your website – they don’t understand pretty pictures, graphics, flash animations, etc – all they want to find is words and phrases relevant to want the searcher is looking for. So make it simpe for the search engines to ’see’ your web site when it looks for those key words and phrases. One way to do this and make it easier for the search engines to find the info they want is by incorporating a simply site map within your website. Again, if this doesn’t make sense to you, ask your webmaster about it.

There are several advantages to choosing the right keywords for your website, most importantly the extra traffic you can generate. If you’re not using the right keywords, it’s doesn’t matter how good your content is – people aren’t going to find it.

The keywords you choose play a large part in how your website will be ranked by Google, Yahoo and the other search engines. That’s why you want to be sure you’re targeting the keywords that people are searching for in those search engines, so you attract the people looking for what you offer.

Here are several ways to choose the best keywords:

1. Using a tool such as WordTracker.com will help you to determine what keywords people are actually searching for, how stiff your competition might be for certain keyword phrases and can even reveal hidden gems that you may not have thought about originally.

2. Don’t only focus on keywords that get a lot of searches. These terms tend to be a lot more competitive, which makes it a lot more difficult to get high search rankings for them.

Think about who your competing with and possibly search for a better, less searched phrase to help target in on your market even better.

3. Vary your keyword throughout your website – don’t just stuff your keyword into all your content. While using the right keywords will help you in the search engines, using them too often will turn your visitors away. What’s the point of getting the traffic in the first place if they’re just going to leave your site when they see the poor information?

These are just some basic tips for getting started on the right foot with your keywords. There is plenty of helpful information about other techniques for targeting keywords on your website on the ArticlesGoneViral.com website, as well as many other places online.

When trying to dominate your niche with video marketing, it is imperative not to make costly rookie mistakes like so many do. As many internet marketers are aware, Google can be an unpredictable beast sometimes but in other instances it can be very predictable.

Video marketing is also hard to predict when you don’t have the experience with it. There are some important guidelines to follow when you’re starting out, and if you do it right the potential is amazing. You can gain wonderful exposure for your chiropractic practice, and simultaneously make other forms of income to add to your prosperity. My students have been making small fortunes for themselves in the past 2 years, and now I’m expanding my teachings so that more than a select few can learn the simple secrets.

Newbie’s to the internet video marketing scene all seem to make the same big mistake. They submit their video to a site like TubeMogul, adding their video onto an enormous pile of similar videos so that it has no legs in search engines. Their videos get totally lost. Traffic Geyser, on the other hand, get’s you to the top of Google in 24 hours and is guaranteed.

For instance, if you put your video on Traffic Geyser, it will submit to 30 video sharing sites. If Metacafe picks up the video it will get indexed with them and their page rank and Alexa rating. But Metacafe’s Alexa is 132nd and their page ranking is a 7, which isn’t great at all. These automated services won’t let you pick the sites you get submitted to, and therefore you get a general blast everywhere.

But YouTube has a rank of 9 and Alexa of 3 and that makes it the third most visited site in the world according to statistics. Therefore, video content should always be submitted there first for it to have any power at all. Then it gets picked up and indexed. Immediately after, submit with the Traffic Geyser powerhouse and watch the income soar.

If you’re wondering why your competitor is beating you every-time with search engine optimization (SEO) and specific keywords, this is probably has a lot to do with it. After you submit to YouTube, then you can use a widely-known automated service like Traffic Geyser to really ramp-up the traffic and exposure to submit to 60+ sites.

To recap, the higher the page rank and Alexa ranking of the video sharing site, the higher your video will be indexed on the search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Those that follow this simple guideline will become massively profitable from social media while those that do not will continue to be dominated by their competition.

In conclusion, Traffic Geyser is going to be instrumental for your home business and chiropractic practice. This is how you get the big guns. Traffic Geyser has a free 30 day trial right now, so it definitely can’t hurt to give it a shot. This offer is a limited time, so take advantage of it today, and your business will never be the same.

When you decide to promote a home business opportunity, you’ll need to find a niche where you can endorse a product or service. You can go through the Clickbank marketplace and start finding a niche, where you can find products that may provide solutions to people in that niche.

The best option for you would be to go through your system and dedicate your time to set up an Internet home business that will be consistently profitable. Some of the fundamental ways to set up this system should have information on how to:

-find the right niche market

- create a product or service customized to the needs of this market.

- create a website that will allow you to collect leads

- cake your profits to the bank

This works no matter your level of expertise, and it will maintain a consistency that most people only dream about. It starts with the basics, giving you the four basic principles of all successful businesses.

When it comes to feeding the hungry, it’s always a lot easier to meet a need that already exists than to search around and try and find one. So, you have to ask yourself what makes a good product. Quality will play a big part; however, you need to deliver a product that is helpful with a good track record that already exists.

So what’s the best internet home business to begin with? The answer hands down is an affiliate program. These programs have proven their potential to generate a healthy revenue stream and are well known. Or you can look for products which offer either basic or master resale rights.

Products with resale rights allow you to purchase the product with the right to resell it as your own product. Basic resale rights allow you to sell a copy to the customer for their personal use only. Master resale rights allow you to sell the product and the rights to allow someone else to sell the product.

Affiliate products or where you sign up with the merchant or service provider who will allow you to use links and banners that you can put on your own website. When someone visits your website and clicks on your link. It will take them to the merchant site. If they make a purchase after going to the merchant site, you will receive a commission.

Affiliate marketing is easy. Since many affiliates promote a single item, brand loyalty is huge. When you resell the item, you reduce brand identity.

To use the Clickbank affiliate program successfully, you need to find a quality product with a good track record. This will make brand building quicker and easier for you – meaning the profits will start coming in sooner. If your product is target towards a niche market which is eager for new products and services, then you could choose either type and do well.

You can merge affiliate marketing with a product resale. You should put your best effort and implement a system that will see you through to being an affiliate marketing magnate. With reselling products, you can make quick profits with our modus operandi.

Over the years, the industry of internet marketing has developed to the point where incorporating an online marketing plan is absolutely essential for any company wanting to succeed in the future. Search engine marketing and search engine optimization are the most popular forms of internet marketing as they can drive lots of targeted traffic to your website. Down below is a list of some of the most important lessons about the strengths and weaknesses of search as a medium:

– Search should not be thought of as a stand alone marketing medium – PPC (Paid Search) is better for accomplishing some goals than SEO is – SEO is better for accomplishing some goals than PPC is – Content is KING – Content is KING (did we say that already?)

Perhaps one of the most powerful of these lessons however, is that as powerful as search is, it CANNOT compensate for a faulty business model.

Faulty Business Model

Sure, in the short term a good SEO can help. Those rankings will often bring in some business through targeted traffic from the major search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. Unfortunately, those same good rankings can also help to conceal problems within the business model.

What is a Good Business Model?

What does a good business model consist of? It’s usually a direct function of the relative value:price ratio for a product or service amongst competitors, sprinkled with a whole lot of common sense.

However, if anything is amiss – the company is doomed for failure, expert SEO or not.

Why Are Companies with Faulty Business Models Doomed?

Companies with faulty business models are doomed for a number of reasons. Primarily however, they’re doomed because search engines want to recommend sites that SATISFY searcher’s needs. Almost by definition, companies with faulty business models cannot satisfy clients and searchers, because either:

– Their price is too high given the value of the product or service – Their value is too low given the price of the product or service – Common sense is lacking, severely distorting the value:price ratio – and we suspect this is by far the most common

Long term (in a few more years – not yet though) this means search engines will look at your friend’s preferences and opinions (aka social search), and the behaviour patterns of thousands of other searchers, and will rearrange rankings based on those indicators. The result – faulty business models lose.

What Does This Mean for SEO’s and the Industry of Internet Marketing?

As a result, SEO and internet marketing companies in the future will have to make some interesting business decisions:

– do we accept or retain clients with faulty business models? – how do we identify clients with faulty business models – what are the signals? – do we attempt to become management/change consultants too?

What Does This Mean for Businesses?

Ultimately, this means that companies must focus their time and efforts on what it is they do best. They need to ensure they’ve got solid defensible business models. The more sound the business model, the easier it will be to rank for relevant terms. If not, make the tough decisions, and correct the issues, or Google will!
