Online seo marketing is an essential part of any online business and must be treated with seriously if you want serious results and visitors to your website. Online seo marketing can take time to learn but when does right can have fantastic results bringing in hundreds of thousands of hits to your website daily depending on the keywords your website is optimized for.
In this article I want to take you through the basics of SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Online seo marketing consists of two things called on page and off page SEO. Lets first talk about what you need to do for your on page seo. The first thing you need to do is keyword research and you need to pick what keywords your main website or blog with be trying to rank for in the organic search results.
I recommend you go ahead and pick 3 main broad keywords for your main site which you will try and rank your home page for. Because the keywords are broad you will not see immediate results and you will not rank for them keywords until you do the off page seo which can take a long time to see results for broad keywords. However when you pick keywords to do posts to your blog or keywords to create new pages for your website you can pick long tail keywords which sometimes have very little competition to rank for which means all you need to do is your on page SEO targeting your long tail keyword and 9 times out of 10 this will be enough to rank you on the first page for your long tail keywords. If not you can do a little off page seo and we will go into that in just a moment but first lets take a look at what you do for on page.
So you have your 3 broad keywords for your home page. What you need to do is make sure all 3 keywords and placed in your title for your website or blog. You also need to place the keywords in your description and also put the keywords in your meta tags for the keywords. You will also need to put the keywords in your H1 tag which is your main heading for your website or blog.
You also need to mention the keywords at least 3 times in every 800 words for your home page. The same rules apply for all other pages you create for your website or blog with your long tailed keywords for other pages. With your home page try and rank it for 3 main broad keywords but when you create other pages like blog posts or single web pages only target one keyword and if you want a good chance to get on the first page of Google try and pick a long tailed keywords which will have less competition.
But regardless of how much competition your keywords have weather it be a broad keyword or a long tailed keyword you can still rank on the first page eventually as long as you take the time to do your off page seo when working on your online seo marketing. So what is off page seo and how do you go about doing it?
Well this is how I would explain it. Google and other search engines like Yahoo and Bing look at your website and they look at your keywords which you have places in your on page seo and that gives them a good understanding of what your page is all about but that is not enough for them to say ok we get what your site is about so we will rank you number 1 for them keywords.
You have got to understand that your not the only website out there trying to target them keywords and the search engines need to know why your site should rank higher than others. So this is what the search engines look for. They look for other websites linking to your site and for each website that does link back to your site that is classes as a kind of vote. If the website that is linking to your site is in the same niche market then this will be classed as a better vote. But it can get better. If the link that is linking back to your site is linked with the text of the keyword your trying to target then the vote gets even stronger. This is called a hyperlink and you need to know a bit of HTML code but If you look up how to do this its easy.
But it can get better. When doing your online seo marketing if your incoming links come from a high PR (Page Rank) site then the vote gets even stronger. Something you should also know. The search engines class .EDU domains very highly and if your site has a incoming hyperlink with your keyword coming from a .EDU site your site will get a massive vote and can get put number 1 spot for very broad highly competitive keywords.
So how do you get back links? Well it would take me to long to go into that in this blog post but I do have SEO training videos that show you how step by step if you would like to take a look?
