SEO Suggestions For Internet Marketing Novices

By Bob Steele


Congratulations for becoming part of the world of internet marketing. It's an amazing field to work in! You've probably already discovered all the things you require and what skills you need to develop. You probably have a migraine from hearing all the contradictory information, especially anything to do with SEO. The good news is that SEO or search engine optimization isn't all that hard. This article will cover some SEO basics so you can get your site and business up and running and becoming friendly with the search engines.

You need to make sure the web designer working on your site understands SEO. When internet marketing and the concept of SEO first appeared, the design of a site wasn't that important. Today, search engine spiders check everything from your site code to your content. Inserting title tags is easy to do on your own but an experienced designer who knows SEO can help you handle every aspect of the site code that impacts SEO, making sure it's done properly.

This involves modifying your site's code a little bit. Luckily, incorporating these tags isn't very hard. You can simply type them in and be done (hire someone if you do not feel comfortable doing this). You need to ensure that your keywords are well targeted. Search engine spiders use these tags to determine how to categorize your page when it comes to search results. You also want to ensure that the keywords you are using are more focused on your brand rather than the name of your business.

Build external links. In their rush to get links from authoritative sites, many new internet marketers forget to build outgoing links as well. Remember, links matter just as much when they are outgoing. As a matter of fact, one of the most effective ways to get a link from a site is to link to them first. They'll get the trackback, check out your site and potentially link to you as well. Outbound links are something search engine spiders check for. If all your links are inbound, then it's unlikely your site will receive a very good ranking.

Link to other sites. So many new Internet Marketers focus so much of their attention on getting links from other reputable sites that they forget to actually link outwardly as well. Remember, links matter just as much when they are outgoing. In fact, one of the most efficient ways to get a site to agree to link to your site is to set up a link to their site first. They'll get the trackback, check out your site and potentially link to you as well. The search engine spiders look for outgoing links. If they only find incoming links, they won't give your site a very good ranking.

When you first start with SEO, there many things you need to consider. SEO is something that lots of people find intimidating but with a little bit of homework and hard work you can figure out how to make sure that your site ranks as highly as possible. The tips presented in this article will help get you started. And it won't take you long to find even more information.
