The importance of search engine optimization

by Tricia

I’m sure you hear the word SEO quite often as you surf the internet. Perhaps you already know that SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, but are you aware of how to optimize your site for search engines and what it really means?

You can optimize you site at any time for search engine ranks and marketing purposes but the best time to do it is of course when you create the site. Everything from the domain name you choose to the title of your sites, the title of your articles or blog posts all count towards optimizing your site for better standings on search engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN and others.

Many people, and companies choose to turn to companies that offer seo services. Companies such as SubmitAWebsite.com, a search engine optimization company, offer services such as analyzing your site against your competitors, keyword analysis, keyword ranking reports, optimize the code and content of some of your sites pages for better search engine optimization, register your website with the top free web directories, offer link building consultation and services and much more.

If the purpose of your website is sales or service then it’s important for your sites keywords to come up high on the search engine pages. You want your site to consistently be on the first page when someone searches for one of the keywords that could bring them to your site. I mean, this is how you get traffic to your site and make sales right?

I think everyone who runs a website should know a little bit about SEO and work towards optimizing their sites for SEO, but if you own a business and you want to outrank the competition it might be wise to look into the search engine optimization services offered by a seo company such as SubmitAWebsite.com.

From out of the blue comes a writing offer

by Tricia

I’m feeling out of sorts and kind of confused today. I’ve been trying my hardest to catch up on built up work, and to secure more internet/blog related work all day while fending off email!

I just received acceptance into BlogCritics but for the life of me, I don’t remember ever applying to be a writer there. It’s definitely an honor to be accepted, but the email kind of hit me from behind!

Actually I just got word back from Eric at Blogcritics and he was responding to a request that was actually written by my husband. You see, since I have more blogs than my husband I put him on promo duty a little while ago and he’s been working to get our sites listed in the various blog and RSS feed directories for the past month or so. I find lists of directories and put him on the job.

Well, it turns out BlogCritics was on one of the lists that I found and assigned to him and he wrote to the owner of the site hoping to get our blogs listed. He didn’t realize that he was applying for ME to become a writer/contributer there!

Well … they sound interested in having me do some writing over there so I might as well give it a try!

Kind of strange how that came about isn’t it? Well at least I know I didn’t apply and forget about it. It was my husband!

How to get more traffic to your site

by Tricia

I’ve seen a few other people talking about increasing their website traffic by advertising on various sites. I suppose it could be anything from using Google Adsense, to paid link directories like the Yahoo directory or even advertising on some of the paid blogging sites.

I’ve been trying to think of ways to get more traffic to my sites. I’d like to do it without spending money if possible. Unfortunately the only way to get more traffic to your site without paying for it is to work very hard at it.

I’ve run websites, and now blogs for many years. I’ve never paid for advertising. Ever. I’ve worked very hard getting my sites listed in all the major directories and even smaller directories that suite the site. Niche directories. Where my websites are concerned I’ve made contact with other site owners and traded links, or given them permission to publish one of my articles on their site.

I’ve used similar methods for my blogs. I do think it’s a bit easier with blogs because you can leave comments on most blogs quite easily. Comment often enough on a blog and make your comments interesting, though provoking or humorous and more than likely the owner of the blog will come and visit your site. If you have good content on your site they might even add you to their blogroll or write about one of your articles.

What do you do to promote your site and get more traffic?
