5 Simple Tips to Boost Your Traffic Using SEO - By: Kelly and Andrew

1. Do Your Keyword Research

Keyword research is a vital aspect when it comes to generating free traffic using search engine optimization. Targeting the wrong keywords can make your SEO campaign go terribly wrong. You will end up throwing away your valuable time put into getting your site to rank as this can result in the search engines, and, your customers not finding you at all.

Here is a site which will assist you in finding the right keywords for your campaign;

Wordtracker has a free option and a paid option which will allow you to look up popular keywords and phrases to determine their activity and popularity with your competitors. Obviously the paid option will give you better results but the free option is also a great asset to marketers wishing to optimize their keywords to gain free traffic using the search engines.

2. Place Your Keywords On Your Site

I assume that some or all of your keywords are already in your site content if you did your keyword research correctly. Think about where you will place your keywords and phrases on your site, 3 or 4 related keywords per page, balanced evenly. It is recommended to use your keyword and phrases 1-3 times per 100 words. Don’t go overboard. Keywords should also be used in your title tag, meta tags, headings, alt text and navigational links or anchor text.

3. Domain Name

Once you have found your keyword(s), it is a good idea to find a domain name that has your exact keyword in it if possible. Sometimes .org extensions rank well as many people see org as organization so they will see your site of some official importance. Of course this depends on your business and business model. The most common .com also always rank well.

4. Generate Back Links

You will want to generate as many back links as possible. This is a vital factor when looking to gain free traffic with the search engines. Once you have own page factors taken care of, start building links and Google will see your site as relevant, ranking your site higher in the search engines. When getting links you are required to link to all pages of your website, not just the home page.

5. Measure

Track your leads to enable you to see which techniques are working for you and which are not. You will be using these and other tips with different content, keywords and pages of your website and tracking will save you a lot of time spent on techniques that may not be working as well as others for your business.

Wishing you Success
