Getting Good SEO Advice

If you have a website, you need visitors just as much as a retail store needs to open its doors and is happy when as many people come through them as possible. SEO (search engine optimization) is how you get people to visit your website. If you are an internet marketer or have a blog or a website, chances are you will be doing SEO yourself whereas middle to large size companies usually hire an SEO expert.

Here is some SEO advice that will help your get traffic to your website:

1. Even before you buy the domain for your soon to be website, make sure that the keyword or keywords you want are in the title. For example, if you want a website about helicopters, make sure the word ‘helicopters’ is in the domain name – modelhelicopters.com or bestmodelhelicopters.com. This simple step will rank you better in the search engines.

2. A picture is worth a thousand words and a video is even better. Make sure you include videos in your blog or website and also put a relevant keyword in the title of the video.

3. Add an analytics program (Googleanalytics.com, for instance) to your website so you can check this weekly to see where you are getting traffic from. The more information you know about your traffic, the better.

4. Many people use WordPress and they have a plugin for SEO called Yoast which is great. Although Yoast costs around $69 it is well worth the cost.

5. Test and test again. Test different titles, for example, to see which one gets more traffic. Test every month or so. 

6. Make your content relevant and interesting so that people will want to return to see more posts. This will also put you in Google’s favor.

These SEO simple tips can help you get better ranking for your website which means more visitors.
