The Power Of Search Engine Marketing & Status

Copyright © Paul Birdsall, Your Online Success Partner

Search engines can be a very powerful online home-based business tool, as long as
you know how to raise your status with them correctly. The most successful home-based business entrepreneurs are those who get the most traffic to their websites and
conduct the most successful advertising campaigns.

Above everything, in order to become successful at your home-based business, you
have to be willing to put the time into it; unless you organize your time wisely
(particularly in the beginning stages) you will wind up nowhere fast.

How do you get traffic to your website? Forget cold-calls. Thatʼs a thing of the past.
Start thinking advertising.

The first thing you want to do is to submit your site to as many search engines as
possible, sites such as: Google, AltaVista, WebCrawler, Netscape, Lycos, MSN,
Kanoodle and many more. What industries is your site linked to?
You want to put yourself in your niche market and link up with as many private link directories/search engines as possible. This is how you saturate your niche market.

Write articles and press releases about your site. If youʼre not a writer
, donʼt fake it; certainly donʼt waste valuable networking and advertising time to try and write concise articles if thatʼs not an area youʼve been trained in. There are many freelance writers
and article writing services available online for a reasonable cost. Just type in
something like “article writing” in any given search engine and this should lead you to an
online article writing service.

Why would you want to do this?

Because having articles and press releases written about your site will flag it and raise your status on search
engines.

Your whole goal is to have your site show up on the first page when people
search for your subject/service area of expertise.

New, dynamic content with links. Upload fresh content to your site frequently
. Nothing is worse for your rating with search engines than stale content. Link your site to other
affiliate sites and relevant links. And make sure your links arenʼt broken - this irritates
people and makes your site appear unprofessional. Search engines love links - the
more pages, the better.

Finally, get on generating advertising revenue. Banner ads, pay-per-click ads, Google
Adwords and the like. Once you get the traffic going to your site, send emails out to
anyone who could be in your advertising realm. If youʼre getting the traffic, advertisers
will pay you good money to place their ads on your site.

Follow these tips and do your research to discover other tricks and techniques used by
successful online marketers. If you do this, you will quickly be on the right track to making the first page on search engines.
