First, many people still use directories and search engines give preference to websites listed in directories. There are many free and paid directories available today. The free directories usually ask for link exchange, however you should remember that if you have many links on your web page, search engines can reduce your page ranks or rank on search engine result. If you are paying for link submission in a directory, make sure that the page rank of the directory is high and it has good traffic. Secondly, many search engines also provide sponsored links. Therefore you can pay to get listing at the top of the result page. However, you have to pay for every visitor sent to your website. This way you can get traffic very quickly. Thirdly, submit articles to article submission websites. Write quality articles related to your websites and products and you can submit those articles to famous articles submission websites. You can also have links in the articles. Therefore you can get backlinks and traffic from an article submission website. Fourth, get as many links as possible. You can buy backlinks and many websites display links for free also such as classifieds’ web page. Fifth, join as many forums and online communities which are related to your websites and products. Talk about your products there and you can also provide links to your website. This way you can traffic as well as backlinks. Sixth, advertise your website in media such as Television ads, newspapers, magazines etc. Seventh, have proper content. Optimize the content on your web page. The content should meet the expectations and needs of your visitors. Further, the content should be keyword optimized. Eight, you can have many email campaigns where you send mails to thousands of people with clickable links. This way you can get good traffic. Nine, always have a sitemap for your website. This help the visitors to explore the website more freely and conveniently. Tenth, you must burn feeds for your websites. This way person get informed when there is some new content on your websites.
search engines give preference to websites listed in directories. No they don't. Apart from the big names - dmoz and yahoo, and a handful of niche directories, most of them don't even get crawled. And Google stopped recommending even those over a year ago. http://sphinn.com/story/76506 You can buy backlinks - well yes, yes you can, and many many sites do. It's totally against the recommendations of major search engines though, and if they realise the links are paid for, expect them to be completely ignored.
I agree with the article submissions...that has helped me get some amazing links back...and the directories, have not done that yet, but will. thinking of advertising offline too...that is a great idea! Thanks
It's important to have a site building strategy that encompasses all of these, my experience is that if you focus too heavily on one it makes little difference but adding daily content, back link building through do follow blogging and forum posting, press releases, article directory submission and classified adds really can help.
Oh my god what a load of absolute garbage. The only thing you need to worry about in terms of SEO is unique quality content that visitors actually want to see. When visitors find content they actually enjoy reading, they'll give you a link, tell their friends, etc. etc. This is natural. Basically what you (toprankseo28) are telling us is to be very very spammy in our SEO, uh yeah, not gunna happen bud.
Anyone noticed how everyone these days is willing to give away "secrets" ? Obviously no longer a secret once its told, lol Its amazing how these top tens and secrets just spill out.
If everyone know that secret it is not secret anymore,....try to read some update on this forums or on SEObook.
Nice find searchia. Although the post is quiet useful but if it's a copy and pasted material, you must also to include the source and don't claim this as your own.
There are so many articles about SEO that is a big business today. Unfortunately all these 'secrets' are stated on a very high level. Usually it ends up being impossible or too costly to implement...
There are no secrets, most people know these but of course some are still not. Thanks for sharing anyway...
BTW it only costs around Rs 500 for advertising your website in newspapers for one day in those weekly advert pages. I also want to promote but nobody does it yet here in India.
First post is always the hardest, but yes can't see any secret but a lot of wrong information here. May I ask toprankseo how long he's working in the SEO business? I mean I'm doing it since 13 years and most of those "secrets" unvailed here are outdated since a decade.
Firstly, most of these aren't really SEO 'secrets', they are simply widely known best practice. Also some of these such as TV advertising, email marketing and links in forums to generate traffic are simply alternative ways to market your website and have nothing to do with SEO. The ideas are good none-the-less.... A better title might have been... 10 Ways to Market your website.
