search engine optimization techniques
There are so many suggested search engine optimization techniques that the new webmaster can be forgiven for becoming rather confused and overwhelmed by all of the available information.
So where does a person start when it comes to consistently optimizing their website for best results? This article will give you some of the best search engine optimization techniques and ideas to help you reach your goals of search engine domination. These ideas are a little out of the ordinary that you may not have thought of. Often these can have the best results!
Tell A Friend Script
These scripts allow people to send your site to other people. To avoid spamming and bots abusing your script, get a script which does verification with a captcha image.
Viral Marketing
This can involve writing a free ebook, posting on forums or doing social networking on sites such as Squidoo. All of these things will get you some nice backlinks to your site and hopefully get people talking about your site.
Directory Submission
This is something you should do when your site is brand new. Find some directories that have page rank, are established and have categories relating to your website. Then submit your URL and hopefully you'll gain some page rank from this.
Article Submission
By far one of the most effective SEO strategies is to submit your original articles to article directories. Ezinearticles.com is the largest one, but there are others such as isnare.com and articlecity.com.
The idea is to have other people use your articles on their sites and thus gain backlinks. You can also rank highly for your article on the directory site which will always contain a link to your site, thus generating traffic.
Although not all of these are strictly SEO, they are still there with the aim of increasing traffic and building backlinks which in itself is an SEO task. I hope these ideas increase the traffic to your website and ultimately bring you more customers!
