Be a search engine marketing pro by using these tips to increase website traffic and search engine rankings. 1. Research and use the right keywords and keyword phrases to attract your target customers and to rank high in the search engines. 2. Use your keywords in the right fields and references within your web page. Always put your keywords in the title, META tags, headers, and sprinkled throughout your content. 3. Being a search engine marketing pro means submitting all of your web pages (every page - not just the home page) to the most popular search engines and directory services. Hire someone to do so, if you don't have the time. 4. A search engine marketing pro won't use just one keyword phrase but several on each web page. Place primary and secondary keywords within the first 25 words in your page content and spread them evenly throughout the document. 5. Monitor your competitors and the top ranked websites to see what they are doing right in the areas of design, navigation, content, keywords, etc. 6. Demonstrate your industry and product or service expertise by writing and submitting articles for your website or for article banks so you are perceived as an expert in your field. 7. Don't look at your website as a static brochure. A search engine marketing pro treats their site as a dynamic, ever-changing sales tool and location. Update the pages on your website frequently. Stagnant sites are dropped by some search engines. 8. Keep track of changes in search engine algorithms and processes and modify your web pages so your search engine ranking remains high. Use online tools and utilities to keep track of how your website is doing. 9. When not sure, hire professionals. Though it may seem costly, but it is a lot less expensive than spending your money on a website which no one visits. 10. Analyze your visitor location and their incoming sources whether search engines or links from other sites and the keywords they used to find you. Use reports and logs from your web hosting company to see where your traffic is coming from. 11. A search engine marketing pro offers additional value to their customers. For affiliates and partners you can place links to their sites and products and ask them to do the same for you. You can also advertise their books or videos, if these products relate to your industry and are not in competition with your own product. 12. Add "Book Mark" or "Add This Site To Your Favorites" buttons so customers can link to your site. Also add a "Recommend this site to a Friend" button so that the visitor can email your website link just by clicking on it. (Remember that a a search engine marketing pro will be constantly working to get lots of inbound links.) Put these tips into action and you will see your website rocket to the first page of the search engines. And then you'll be a search engine marketing pro, too.
