Want More Website Traffic? You Better Use These Five SEO Tips!

In the past it was easy and cheap to get traffic through Pay-Per-Click. All you had to do was set up a website, write an ad, pay a few cents per click to a search engine like Google, Yahoo, or MSN, and you had instant web traffic. It is nowhere near as easy or cheap now and even if you do get your ad to show up on the first page of search results there is a declining chance that searchers will click on your paid ad and not the organic or natural result which is a free click for that website owner.

In fact, if you have your site showing up on page 1 in the organic results you will get somewhere between 2 to 44 times the clicks of the top pay-per-click ad. Google has a secret algorithm for how they rank sites on a results page but there are only 3 factors that matter; content, backlinks, and activity. If you have great content that people want they will subscribe and continue to return to your site and that will give you backlinks and activity. This is a natural progression and, if you think about it, it only makes sense that the search engines would use all 3 of these factors to determine your site rank which is the key to web traffic.

The 5 SEO tips are:

1. Focused Keyword Research: It is crucial to your SEO what keywords you use. It takes patience, intelligent calculations and some good tools to do effective SEO keyword research. There are some free tools to use like Google Keyword Tool, Google Insight, and Google suggestions that will give you the exact number of monthly searches, how much competition and suggestions for other keywords you haven't thought about.

2. Original Content: Useful information that is niche targeted is what people and search engines love to see on any site. But it has to be done using effective SEO content writing techniques. You should use 2 or 3 keywords and they should be used throughout the content at around 5% to 6%. You should start and end with your main keyword and use it as a link if possible and then have 1 or 2 other related keywords sprinkled around your content.

3. On-site Optimization: The search engine crawlers only read the HTML code of your site so it must be set up to guide them to the areas with the content. Make sure your keywords are in the title, description, and the keywords area. You should also have them in captions on any pictures you use.

4. Article Syndication: After putting the content on your site you should write press releases and articles about your site and whatever services and products it offers. Submit these to as many places as you can and don't forget to use anchor text (use your keywords as your links). You can even link to specific pages of your site which helps even more.

5. Social Bookmarking: These sites are highly optimized and crawled every day. If you bookmark your content which has a link to your site the crawlers will index every site that is linked. Bookmarking all your content and sites as well as other people's sites will show you are active.

Using these tips will boost your search engine optimization which will give you more web traffic. But it basically comes down to learning attraction marketing which covers many principles to help you become a leader and attract prospects to you instead of you chasing them or prospecting for them as most sponsors still teach these days. I cannot include everything about that here but you can visit my blog and see what Attraction Marketing is all about and how it can help you build your home business.

Dan Lambeth started a home business the same way many people did. Through a friend or family member that was teaching "old school" network marketing methods. But like most people he figured out that even if he was really good at signing up his uninterested friends and relatives he would still need a good source for leads if he was going to be successful. That's when he went online and found the generic attraction marketing that many people are using to dominate the competition and become the top recruiters for their companies.Do yourself a favor and go to his blog where you can check out his system and get your free marketing newsletter that comes with free Internet marketing training=> http://danlambeth.com/attraction-marketing
