Shoestring marketer – you should use search engine optimization to bring traffic to your site
March 8th, 2010Being a shoestring marketer that’s pressed for cash doesn’t necessarily mean that you should ignore some basic search engine optimization (SEO) to bring traffic to your site. In fact, you should be doing this more to bring organic traffic to your site.
SEO tracks what terms or keywords that people are using to search for information on the Internet.
Using SEO is a great tool to get people to come to your site.
When you go to the internet, searching for a specific word or phrase. How many times do you scroll down to the bottom of the page and automatically go straight to page 15 without looking at the results on the first 14 pages? Never, right?
Generally, a normal search will answer the intended question within the first ten web pages listed in the search.
If I’m the one looking for information, I normally won’t even go beyond 3 pages to look for the answer before I start searching again. And I think others will also be like that.
That’s why it’s important for you to try ranking your site further up in the page. It’ll help to bring more traffic to your site. And you can achieve this by doing some SEO on your site.
Before you start going to do off page optimization, pay attention to your on site optimization first.
When writing content to your site, do some research on the keyword that you’re trying to rank for. And format your post to include header, subheader, bold, italic or underline in certain places in your post. Sprinkle some keywords and make it look natural for your human reader.
Search engine optimization can be a fun project to work on if you have the time. Between the words you want to key for and tracking how you are doing with those words it can be much like a game you get to play against your potential clients. You win when they start rolling through your links.
