At one point better search engine rankings was entirely up to just building links. These links were the “holy grail” of improving your search engine placement.

Web site promotion was simply about getting links and pointing them to your web site. If you are doing this strategy you may feel calm and confident about your web site. If so, now is the time to start taking some action because if you do not change the way you are optimizing a web site you will be feeling the Google Bomb on the next update. Let me explain, a little personal experience that may help you.

Back during the 2002 era of search engine optimization many web site promotion firms were looking to gather links and simply continue to gather more and more. Although, this was the method at the time and the best strategy to improve search engine placement a lot of energy was put into these optimizations. Then a google bomb happened.

What is a google bomb, well this was a statement which was created in the SEO arena because a lot of companies were just building garbage links. The linking strategies were perfect for 2002, but not perfect for the new update. So as our team kept building links the 2002 way all of a sudden… WHACK!!!!

Our rankings were getting killed on our testing sites. We seen dramatic drops in rankings. Some of our colleagues were just slammed just like the dot com boom. Why was this happening? How could this happen, we were following the right practices of google.

This happened due to something called LSI, latent semantic indexing. While researching an article about LSI in Google’s patent you would come to find that links must theme related and it would benefit your rankings if you used different synonyms in articles. While MSN Live Search and Yahoo are a little behind this implementation it is wise to understand how to create high quality articles that help improve search engine placement. The fact of the matter is when increasing your search rankings you simply need to think of long term success. To optimize a web site for the future, you will want to create high quality articles and content.

Setting you as a resource or leading expert in the industry you are writing about.

What most business owners may not understand in search engine optimization is that your site must be unique and a resource that increases the experience of the visitor. As a professional search engine optimization company, you learn that no matter what the business there is always something that can help increase users experience.

Better search engine placement is about increasing the user experience on the web site, optimizing the site structure, researching key phrases and web analytics.

There’s lots of talk about ways to improve search engine rankings, and it’s clearly a very emotive subject with many people amongst the so-called ‘internet SEO (search engine optimisation) experts’ fraternity, all of whom often have differing opinions about what gets a website ‘ranked’.

From someone who has had all (yes all) his websites ranked on page one in the Top 5 search results for the Top 3 keywords I have targeted (and these are competitive, high traffic keywords), let me share with you now my thoughts on how to get highly ranked and get your websites listed amongst the top 10 search results for your keywords.

I have a simple 3-Stage Approach to getting ranked high. Here, in Part 1, is my first Stage…

Stage 1. Pick The Right Keyword Phrases:

Firstly I ensure I target keywords that have traffic. What I mean by that is it amazes me how many people think it’s all about being placed high up the page by being “highly ranked”, with no regard for the actual amount of traffic a keyword gets! What’s even more staggering are these ‘SEO expersts’ that offer their services, usually at exorbitant rates, with promises like “we’ll get you appearing in the Top 10 Results on 100 pages” when they don’t have any idea what keywords are being identified by you as their client.

Let me be really clear on this – anyone can have a Number 1 position for a keyword! …anyone – just type in a keyword phrase, say with 4 or 5 words in it (this is a ‘longtail keyword’), and it is likely to have very little competition that you could dominate the Top Number 1 spot for that search. But what you have to ask yourself is how many people are actually typing in that 5 or 6-word phrase? Probably no-one I suspect. So here’s the thing – yep, it is pretty easy to get highly ranked, like Top 5, for many keywords, but the first thing you need to do is identify if there are a whole bunch of people looking for that keyword, because if there isn’t, then getting ranked at even Number 1 spot isn’t going to make any difference to your business sales, because even at Number 1, if no-one is searching for that keyword phrase and searching for it, then there’s no-one that will ever see you at Number 1.

So, before anything – before you ‘optimise’ your website (I’ll discuss this in Part 2); before you look to get ranked high in the search results; before you do anything, make sure that you are clear on the keywords you are going to target actually have traffic, by which I mean there are lots and lots of people typing in that keyword phrase into a search service looking to find you. Get your keywords right first! …and make sure they are keywords people are using in their searches – in lots of searches!
