3 Basic Ways to Increase Your Search Engine Rank

1. Inbound Links

Inbound links are one of the most cost effective ways to increase your website’s rank

Inbound links are simply links on another page that direct a customer to your page. Search engines, like Google, see these links and then will increase your page rank.

It seems easy enough, but how do you get more inbound links to your site? While there are several ways to get inbound links, one of the easiest methods is to ask other sites to link their site to yours. BUT, be careful, make sure that the site is relative to yours or else your page rank will be lowered.

2. Keywords

Everyone knows that the more words that your site includes about your business the higher page rank that you will have. Although, this is true there are things to watch for.

The first is that graphics do not count for the page rank.If your site is graphics only then the search engine will not recognize your keywords. The best way to avoid this is to have text pages with keywords which will be picked up by a search engine.

The second catch is keyword spamming. If you list your keywords over and over again in ways that don’t make sense, search engines will recognize this and quickly drop your page rank. So be careful when using your keywords and don’t get carried away.

3. Pay-Per-Click

Pay-Per-Click links are the links that appear on the right hand side of search engines. Basically, they are links that business pay for so that their site will be found by potential costumers. However, businesses only pay for the amount of times someone clicks on the link, thereby only paying for the amount of costumers coming to their site. Pay-Per-Click links are one of the easiest ways to increase traffic to your site.

Just by following these simple guidelines, your business and website will take off to new heights. More importantly, all of these tips are very easy and affordable to do saving you the risk of losing time and money.

 

Thats a great tips for a beginner.

 

thnx alot!

 

Your post is a bit misleading...

You say:
3 Basic Ways to Increase Your Search Engine Rank

And you say #3 is PPC

PPC doesn't "Boost" your SE Rank...but it can increase your traffic.

 

Also #2

Are you sure that keywords and keyword density increase your page rank?

 

I think technically buying the top spot to the left is close to naturally getting the top spot on the right ::lol:: some SE's actually put PPC links at the top of their SERP which would give top SERP...

Keyword stuffing can bring in a penalty... at least a SERP penalty

NICE ONE TO START. In case of inbound links, quality and relevancy also matters.

 

yea good ideas

 

PPC does not help in any way to Increase Search Engine Rank! Keywords help, only if they've been used appropriately on the site and also in the inbound links anchor texts.

 

Indeed, i guess there are 2 basic ways to increase your search engine rank in this tutorial. Good tutorial for the beginners indeed.

 

PPC doesn't help the ranking.

How do you know if the site was penalized?
Can it be panelized yet not banned?
(banned= it wont appear in the site:"www.domain.com" search)

 

I agree, why not just pay for that? I click on those just as much as the actual SERPs.

 

Good start and there is many more to go. Every ethical seo step is useful.

 

I sustaine with 1

Number 3 is BS not true

Nuber 2 only helps a bit

 

Thanks for your tip's

 

Nice to know for a beginner but nothing new or original that could help most of the users here on DP

 

I've found that keywords in content does help with my SERPs but I've only optimized for low competition keywords, and also used keywords in <h1>, <b>, <strong>, etc. But I'm not sure what you mean by "have text pages with keywords which will be picked up by a search engine". You do have the alt property in the img tag that you can use for a short description for the image with keywords as in <img src="path" alt="description" />. Just don't spam it.

 

That's right. PPC is more on gaining traffics not PR.

 

Good points rosiee007.

 

Im not sure how Pay per click would help you get ranked better? It increases traffic, but not search engine ranking...

Most important factor: Links and more links pointing to your website
