How to Climb to the Top of All the Search Engines
Whatever the purpose of your website or blog…whether it is for fun or for profit, it stands to reason that you want as much traffic as possible. Nobody ever complains that they’re frustrated because too many people visit their blog or website.
If your website traffic is composed of “targeted visitors”…folks with a high level of interest in the subject of your blog or website, that’s even better.
Anybody can buy traffic, and most folks who do pay too much for it. But, wouldn’t you rather get the free traffic that comes as a result of high search engine rankings?
Think about these things for a minute and the first million dollar “secret” becomes obvious. If you want your website to get as much traffic as possible…if you want that traffic to be targeted, good search engine rankings are critical.
Nobody can argue against the often made statement that “content is king” in developing a good website and in achieving enviable search engine rankings. And, if you emphasize the wrong keywords on your website and in your promotional activities, you’re sunk. But, anything and everything else you do will not get you where you want to be in the search engine rankings without an aggressive, ongoing link building effort.
Writing and submitting articles like this one is a great way to obtain quality links (look at the author’s box below). If you wish, you can hire folks to write for you, very inexpensively. And, there are several good pieces of software which can automate the submission of your articles to article distribution websites, individual website owners, RSS feeds, and media outlets of various kinds.
Requesting links on individual websites can also lead to a big boost in your search engine rankings. And, there are software programs that automate the process of identifying websites on subjects related to yours and contacting their webmasters. Alternatively, you can accomplish the same things manually, but it will be far more time consuming.
The organization I oversee has offered a free, ten lesson website promotion course for nearly ten years. During that time, website owners have told us, again and again, that the most helpful of our ten lessons has been the one on link building.
Webmasters who want as much traffic as possible (and who among us doesn’t?) need to commit to a focused, aggressive link building effort. If they do, their efforts are almost certain to be rewarded.
