SEO Web Marketing: Generate Traffic Using SEO Web Promotion: Part 2 of 2
Written by admin on August 20, 2008 – 12:00 am -In my last post I mentioned that it is now possible to find buyers with cash in hand without spending a lot of money on advertising and “off page” strategies. The down side to taking a “do-it-yourself” approach (or hiring a SEO web marketing expert to do it for you) is that it takes time and can prove to be labor intensive. It can, nevertheless, be done, given a bit of patience and perseverance. This can be used to your advantage, however, since Google likes to see you emerge as an online sensation gradually and non-sensationally.
Chances are the search engine has changed its algorithm since my last post about getting traffic. Yes, change is the one constant in the search engine world. But change is often a good thing. If anything, it keeps us from going stale.
For now, here’s the second half of that list of six deceptively simple SEO web promotion techniques that go beyond basic “on page” optimization to pull visitors to your site like moths to a bright flickering flame.
Strategy 4. Offer Your Thoughts and Advice At Online Forums and User Groups
No matter what your niche, you will find a related forum, Yahoo! Group, Google Newsgroup, or other online community. Find these, see how the members interact with each other, learn what types of information are expected and accepted, and then get responsibly involved. This strategy takes so much time and focused effort that you may decide to outsource it to professional posters looking for work at Elance.com, RentACoder.com, or any of the other freelance work sites.
Strategy 5. List Your Website and/or Blog in Online Directories
The trick to gaining relevant listings is to avoid using the same text in every directory to describe your site. Switch things up to avoid being cited for duplicate content. Also, take your time submitting your site to all of the directories. Too many attempts at listing your website throughout the Internet can cause Google to label you a “spammer”. It’s better to rise gradually in Google’s search engine results pages (SERPs) than to be banned.
Strategy 6. Broadcast Yourself with Podcasts and Web Videos
People enjoy being able to consume information in ways that entertain them. They also like to pass things like podcasts and videos on to their friends and colleagues. The more your piece gets passed around, the more your online media becomes “viral”. Create an informative video and you will find yourself catering to a demographic of the online community that invests in the latest technical gadgets — in other words, people with money to spend. Be sure to mention or show your website’s URL and give information about what’s available on your website.
Finally, don’t be shy when it comes to getting the word out about your business. The Internet has emerged as the best game in town for promoting people, products, and services. The more you know about search engine optimization, ways of getting content to the masses, and using creativity to excite people to come to your website, blog, or real world business, the more your business will thrive. Learn SEO web promotion and get some skill at SEO web marketing — or take the time to interview and hire someone skilled at doing the work. Put these six seo web marketing strategies to work today and count on seeing a consistent stream of visitors — and sales — in the weeks, months, and years to come.
