can't tell the difference between the title and keyword meta tag!

You can achieve high rankings for important keywords simply by applying certain rules
that stand the test of time and even technology...and the number one rule is
really to help the search engines provide relevant search results!

How do you do this? I'll reveal the 'secrets' soon.

While I'm far from being an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) expert and am just
sharing experiences here, I've achieved some phenomenal results by following these
basic rules and without resorting to 'tricks'. Importantly, these are rankings
that last.


I'm not suggesting you shouldn't learn about SEO or use genuine software that
helps, in fact you should.

To learn about SEO, some sites you can check out:


How to I achieve such incredible rankings without being some SEO guru or even
obsessively optimizing site?

Recall the number one rule? It's to help the search engines provide relevant search
results.

Now I honestly believe there are only two MAIN things which support this rule and in
the process, reward your website with the high rankings you desire.

These two things are Keyword Rich Content and Targeted Back Links which we'll talk
about later...

Here then are 7 powerful secrets you can use to model your website after to explode
your high search engine rankings!

Step 1: Determine Highly Searched Keywords Determine highly searched and targeted
keywords/keyword phrases related to your site and put them into a list. Here're the
tools to use:

from Overture and Wordtracker and displays them side by side.

http://smtek.info/cgi-bin/keywordtool.cgi : allows you to find relevant hot keywords
with a single click...very cool very useful.

http://www.goodkeywords.com : excellent software to find targeted keywords in
Overture and various other engines.

Step 2: Register Keyword Rich Domain Names
While there've been contrasting arguments about whether having keywords in your
domain helps, I strongly feel it does. The same goes for dashes between words in the
domain.

Use these to source for domain name ideas:

Step 3: Use Your Targeted Keywords In Your Copy

Use the list of keywords in step 1 within your website copy, especially in the title,
headline and first paragraph. The important thing is to make them flow smoothly within
the context of the copy so prospects will not find it weird.

Step 4: Insert Keyword Rich Relevant Content

Next, build up your site's content with relevant topics containing your keywords.
Don't worry, here are some ways to get instant content:

- Posting suitable articles that contain
your keywords. These can either be your own or from article directories like
http://www.ezinearticle.com,
http://www.goarticles.com or
http://webpronews.com

- Posting newsletter issues in an archive online if you write any

- Do reviews and commentaries on related products and services in your market as
content

Step 5: Aggressively Acquire Targeted Back Links

This is the second most important (some say it's the first) factor to note after
targeted and relevant content. Get as many good quality incoming links
from other sites as you can, believe me, this will really make a huge difference to
your rankings. These links should come from sites in your market and preferably those
with high PageRanks of 5 and above.

Use http://www.webmasterbrain.com/prog/ to search for sites with top rankings in
Google for your specified keyword/keyword phrases. It also reveals their individual
PageRanks next to their listings.

An excellent resource to check PageRank can
also be found at http://rankwhere.com.

Alternatively, you can download Alexa toolbar from http://ww.alexa.com as it also
shows Alexa traffic ranking for any site. This is very useful for seeking high
traffic link partners.

ever seen must be "Power Linking 2: Evolution" at: http://www.turnkeymoney.com/powerlink.htm

Step 6: Hand Submit Your Site To The Top Directories and Search Engines

There's no point in using those 'submit to millions' services as only a few search
engines really matter.

Using those services may actually cause your site to be penalized by these major
engines.

In fact if you've done enough important reciprocal linkings, you don't even need to
submit your sites as spiders which crawl your link partner sites (already indexed)
will pick up your link easily.

However, if you must submit, do it by hand at these directories and search engines

Step 7: Tune Your Site For Maximum Optimization

The final step would be to constantly monitor and analyze your website traffic
against rankings. This is so you can review and tweak for further improvement in your
rankings.

I hope this article will prove highly useful to you. Do not be scare away by SEO,
it's simple once you follow the above system. While these steps are not
everything you can do, it'll be enough to get your site ranked very well for the
targeted keywords you chose.

Again, remember the number one rule of giving relevant content and establishing
good back links. Help the search engines provide relevant results for their
customers and your rankings will automatically skyrocket to the top!
