SEO for Internet Marketers

Manish Pandey · 03-17-2007, 02:44 PM

I just wrote an article about SEO and promoting websites/products online and came up with these points. Feel free to add yours too...

1. Find a niche: That interests you.
2. Domain name: Brand able if you want to become a brand of your niche or keyword domain. That totally depends on you!
3. Affiliate Programs: Searching for good affiliate programs that relates to your niche.
4. Keyword research: Atleast 20-50 keywords highly or less competitive so that you could target both.
5. On-page Optimization: Optimize all your pages.
6. Off-page Optimization: Link building
7. Become trust able: Co-citation etc.
8. Web Analytics: Analysis of your visitors.
9. Web 2.0: Using social bookmarking etc.
10. ...and last but not the least huge online success...

Yep that's all I could think of from going rags to riches online!

Add yours too...

Thanks

News letters, and word of mouth would also help.

Manish this is not technically true.

You should really target a smaller set of keyword's initially, preferably long tail key phrases with the main site's keywords contained within them.

e.g. car insurance

long tail 1: cheap uk car insurance
long tail 2: young driver car insurance
long tail 3: car insurance for women

You should really define before you start what you want to rank for, personally I would rather be number 1 for long tail keywords with relevant content than a generic search term.

Thats my opinion anyway and it's worked for 8 years. Make your own judgments however.

If I had to add something to your list I would add E-Mail marketing. I don't mean spam either, opt in from your website only. It provides information to keep user's coming back and also gives them something to forward to other people if they think the information will be useful to them.

I would add something like "buy/create a web site script" too

. Web site could contain lots of points including web site structure, database structure (which is very important if you're going to run a serious business!). Moreover, I would remove the on-site SEO since it is dead. Content rules. For this purpose I would add "Hire a team of writers or write things by yourself".

Basically, link building is useless if it's not followed by "quality link building" - links which you get from sites which you don't even know.

Analytics: Hm... It would be great to determine target visitors before you start a web site

. You can't analyse anything after starting a business. You must analyse before. Of course, I understand that you can't analyse visitors if there aren't any. Anyway, before you start a niche you must know something about which country you want to "take over".

Above-mentioned points are some general ideas in my experience. You can find many articles on this subject. And yes, they divide SEO and starting a new web site into similar or even same points.

Is there any need for such articles? Don't take my words badly. I'm just asking...
