SEO Marketing

A broad look into different strategies of SEO marketing to increase traffic volume to a particular website. It is vital to rank high in the search engines in order to produce a substantial amount of traffic to a website. This is the main goal of SEO marketing.

Users visit sites by entering search queries or keywords into search engines such as Google. The search engines then deliver a set of results and then the internet user clicks on the site they think will best match their needs. Many times users click on these results and get become devoted to these sites. 

Ten Ways to Market a Website and Increase Traffic Volume

1) Use Longtail Keywords - it is much easier to get target niches and get traffic than compete for single word keywords. An example of this:

Homes                                         1,831,207
Lake Homes                                    265,745
Florida Lake Homes                            33,210
New Florida Lake Homes                        1,826

This is just an example but it demonstrates how it will be much easier to rank for Florida Lake Homes and New Florida Lake Homes than Homes. In fact, you will hard pressed to rank for a single keyword because the big corporations are spending thousands of dollars to target these.

2) Submit Articles to Go Articles - this is another well known article website.

3) Use a Language Translator- try Google Gadgets.

4) Get a quality Web Hosting Service - I recommend Host Gator or Blue Host. Whatever service you choose it's important to have the capability to handle the massive incoming traffic that social bookmarking can drive to your site. Slow service will hinder not only your traffic but the bots searching your site. 

5) Use two Targeted Keywords in your Text - when you post an article 2 targeted keywords in your body is fine. Too many keywords will make your article look like spam to the search engines.

6) Get Edu and Gov links - these links are normally more respected than Com sites because they produce quality content and have built up thousand of links.

7) Submit your Site to Google Webmaster Tools and verify it. Check for broken or dead links and use 301 redirect to send them to the proper page.

8) Submit Content to Reddit - this social bookmarking site as well as others can generate massive amounts of traffic in a short period of time.

9) Use Alt Tags with Proper Keywords for your Photos on your Blog     
    (Google Images will drive traffic!)  

10) Upload a favicon.gif File - to help brand your site.
