Search engines… They are the internet. They provide services that you can use to browse the whole World Wide Web (WWW).
So many people don’t understand the importance of them. If you are one of those people, read this and you will be amazed by the things that SEO can do to your site.
In this post I’ll give some effective seo tips for blogs. Hang on and enjoy the ride.
Lets say you have a website about Google tips. OK; now lets see the number of searches for this particiular keyword. (Visit: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal and type in “Google tips” to the input box).
You will probably see that there are 49,500 people who search for this term per month. That is about 4.91 searches per minute and about 300 searches per hour. If you are in the first postition for this phrase you would get nearly the 1/2 of the search traffic. So you would get 24,750 free visits per month from only this search term. Isn’t it facinating? Of course it is.
So now do you understand the importance of search engine optimization?
If still not, here is a more effective example:
Lets say you rank at number one for “facebook”. Of course this is impossible in this Facebook orientated world. This phrase gets 2,520,000,000 searches a month. Thats right, more than two billion. So if it would be possible to rank at #1 you would get 1,260,000,000 (1/2 of the searches) visits to your site. Thats 2,080 pageviews per SECOND(!), 124,800 per minute and 7,488,000 per hour. More than seven million per hour? That is 2 times more than the visits that TechCrunch.com gets per month.
I hope now you understand the importance of SEO. So get out there and start building backlinks and improving your PageRank. Maybe you will be the next and best Search engine marketer in the world.
But you can only survive if you do some effective keyword research.
Here is some basic advice:
Cover a small topic:
When starting an online business it might seem a good idea to make a website which covers several highly searched topics. Well, it’s not a good idea. You have to focus on only one or maybe a few small topics. This will make your competition “straight”. I mean that it can narrow your search competitors.
First try to rank for long-tail keywords:
You have find some keywords that are both relevant and easy to rank for. I know that you are thinking: “Why do I need to rank for keywords that have less searches?”. The answer is easy: It might have less searches per month but it probably has less competition. So it’s easier to rank for it. If you get higher rankings, then you will get more targeted traffic. It’s that easy.
Just don’t stop creating content:
Search engines love fresh and unique content. Content can mean blog posts, new PDF files etc. So just don’t stop and search traffic will grow systematically.
Conclusion:
It takes a little while to find keywords, but once you do simply build backlinks and track the effect.
Hope you will keep this stuff in mind when optimizing your site.
