When people go on the Web, they’re usually searching for something. That’s what is so great about the Internet – there is so much out there and you can find the answer to just about anything by firing up your web browser and doing an online search. So what you need to do is get people to your website and to make that happen, your website needs to rank well in the results.

Do Website Search Engine Optimization

Before you even get started marketing your website, you want to be sure that it is set up correctly. You will want to make sure you perform Search Engine Optimization (or SEO for short) tasks to your website. Either you can do this or you can hire someone. This work includes things like getting the right keyword list made, putting keywords in page titles, creating the right meta tags, doing internal linking, having search engine friendly URLs and so on. For the purposes of this article, we are going to assume you have had this work done. If not, do it first before you start promoting your website and you will be doing yourself a big favor.

The next thing to do is rank better. This is the main thing and the main thing in doing SEO is to get incoming links. Each website that links to yours is like voting for your website. The more votes you get, the higher you rank.You need more votes than your competition to rank above them. Links using hypertext (linked text) from sites that also rank well is optimal but a link is a link and they all help.

Get Incoming Links to Your Website

There are a number of ways to get links. If people like your company website, they may link to it. Honestly, these links are about the best ” so make sure you’re asking people to link to your website. You can even give them the HTML code to use, which works really well because then you can specify a keyword (your main keyword) as the linked text. You should also ask people you do business with or friends to link to your site. You can also find other websites out there that are related to yours and email the owners, asking for a link. This is called a link exchange and they’re worth doing.

One secret to getting inbound links is with article marketing. What you’re reading right now is me doing article marketing. You take some time and write a useful article that is original and full of good information. It should answer a question that people may have and be useful to them. That’s why you need to take some time doing a little bit of research. That article is then submitted to article repositories and you get to include 2 links back to your website down in the resource box at the end of the article.

An important item to note about article marketing is that for it to be of any value, each article that you post on different websites needs to be totally original. What? Writing that many articles would take forever and would not be worth your time at all. That’s very true. So there’s a tool that will help you do that work and it’s called the Unique Article Wizard.

The great thing about the Unique Article Wizard is that it takes your article and automatically submits it to hundreds of article repositories around the Web that will post it for free. It also makes sure that articles are unique. The sites that your article ends up on are sites that Google knows about, so they are good links to get pointing back to your site. Nice.

It takes a little time to write and submit each article but that time is nothing compared to the benefits that you get back. If you’re not a writer, you can go to sites like Elance.com and hire someone to write an original article for you. When I write, I try to do one of two things – or sometimes both. I use the AIDA method, which stands for:

* Attraction

* Interest

* Desire

* Action

Make sure your article does these things, in order. It’s important that the article grabs attention with an intriguing headline and then get interest in the first paragraph. It needs to create desire and then end with a call to action, which can sometimes be your resource box. Writing “how to” articles is also a good thing to think about when writing because they can definitely grab attention. People are also going onto the Internet to usually find out how to do something. Think about how you have used the Web lately.

After doing that, you will go through the online wizard and adjust different versions of each paragraph. It will then submit the article for you to all the sites that want one in that category. I have it submit 70 of mine per day to about 500-600 or more directories. Nice!

What happens in about a week or two is that you start to see more visitors to your website to your website. search engines also sees more sites that link to your site and you get moved up in the rankings. If you submit just 1 article per week, you would see amazing results and increased traffic. Your goal is to look like an expert in your industry with lots of websites linking to yours. When that happens, people will follow the links they find when they read your good information and will come to you to buy your products or services.
