Top 10 Strategies for Making Your Website Visible in Search Engines
Within each strategy listed here, there are components to be handled
and completed. Knowing the strategy is the first step.
Here are 10 elements to have in place on your website so you will be
found when your target audience looks for you in a search engine.
1. Define your keywords. Brainstorm every possible word someone might
type into a search engine if they didn’t know of any website on the topic
of their interest. Imagine yourself as new to your topic, not knowing
the main words that apply.
2. Do your keyword research. Find out how many people search for every
single one of the words you came up with every single day. Choose the
ones you want to focus on in your content and keyword placement on your
webpage.
3. Repeat steps 1-2 on every page of your website.
4. Next you will need other websites linking TO you. Define where you
want these links to come from. Brainstorm every possible topic that may
relate to your topic without competing with it. For example: If you are
a parenting coach, a related site may be a site that sells toys or games
or children’s clothing, etc.
5. Contact the owner of the site and offer to include their link on your
site in exchange for their putting your link on their site. You could
even make your offer more inviting by having an affiliate link from their
site to yours so they make a commission on sales that may come as a result
of their link referral.

6. Another way to get links back to your site is by writing articles
and submitting them to article submission places. This approach could
have a viral effect since your article would be available for posting
content on other websites as well.
7. When you post in forums, be sure to include a signature line to be
shown after your name when you post. By having your link in the signature
line, you receive yet another link back to your site.
8. Create your own blog. In your blog, include your website link. You
can also include your autoresponder subscribe form here as well.
9. While we are on the subject of blogs, as long as you are going to
have people visit there, follow all the same rules for search engine
visibility there. Use targeted keywords in writing your content. Be sure
you have placed your keyword strategically on the page. Link from your
website to your blog and vice versa.
10. Find blogs that interest you in any topic and post relevant comments
to those blogs. Always include your signature line with your url so any
time you communicate online, your website url is included.
There are plenty more things you can do, but this is enough for now!!
If you already have the obvious done with your keywords and content,
get typing and get links! If you aren’t sure how your website is doing
