Building and promoting a new website isn’t easy. The first thing you need to know, is to learn how to drive organic search traffic using SEO.
SEO is short for search engine optimization. It is a process that combines off-site and on-site optimization to allow you to get higher search engine rankings.
In the search engine world, if you don’t rank on the first page of the search results, your site doesn’t exist. Visitors must be able to see your URL in the search results when they want to search for relevant information. So how do you ensure your site gets ranked at the top?
It will take a whole book to explain the entire SEO process properly. But for the sake of discussion, we will just list the most important component - which is off-site optimization. Off-site SEO sounds like a complex hi-tech phrase, but it’s actually very easy to implement. It involves building back links with relevant anchor texts.
Assuming that you have already done your keyword research, you would know what keywords to go for. For instance, if you are trying to rank for the phrase “seo guide”, then your links must contain the words “seo guide”. Don’t try to use phrases like “click here”, or “visit website”.
Problem is, since these links are posted in external sites, how do you ensure that the proper anchor texts are used?
One way you can do so is to use a blog posting service. A blog posting service allows you to pick your desired anchor texts. Here is how it works.
Step 1: Choose a high quality blog network. Sometimes, services that promise thousands of blog posts may be lacking in quality. After all, who is going to promote the thousands of blogs? Go for quality, then quantity.
Step 2: Once you sign up with the service, you will then post your blog entry. Most services require your article length to be at least 300 words. Just write naturally, and you will be able to generate that article length easily. Also, keep in mind that there is no need to resort to keyword stuffing. Write as if you are writing for a human reader.
Step 3: Make sure you insert your links properly with your desired anchor texts. Note that the service provider will not format the links for you. So you must remember to format all links properly with HTML tags. Most services will allow you to include between two to three links.
Step 4: Your article will then be approved for distribution. There is nothing more to do on your part. Just sit back and wait for the blog posting report to arrive. The report should contain the links to your blog posts, so you know where you links are.
Give the articles a few weeks to be indexed by the search engines. Once the articles start to age in the search engines, they will become more valuable. In a few months time, you will be able to see a boost in search engine rankings. For older sites, sometimes all it takes is a few short weeks.
