Using Articles-

Ok. You have probably heard all bout using articles to get targeted traffic. And it works! Giving you one way back links to your site. Also, search engines regularly crawl the high profile article directories. so if you want you site indexed quickly, use articles. However, there is a little trick which is not well known that you should do when submitting articles. So simple, yet so effective. Here's what you do: link to your sitemap directly from your resource box. This will send the search engine crawlers rapidly to all the pages on your site!

Keyword Phrases-

Choosing the right keyword phrases is the single most important thing you can do for your SEO efforts.The trick is to target very specific keywords. For example, instead of internet marketing, choose, strategic internet marketing, which is more targeted, with less competition. Using keywords that are 3-4 words in length will make you much more successful with your efforts online.

Navigation-

People who come to your site need to be able to navigate easily. And also, each link within your navigation should target a specific keyword you are hoping to rank for. Also, you should include internet links within your content. Let me give you an example. Let us say you wrote an article about affiliate marketing and in this article are several keyword phrases, autoresponders and webhosting, both of which are vital to affiliate marketing success. Now, within your site, you have articles on autoresponders and webhosting, so you link each keyword to these articles, thereby increasing your link popularity of many pages within the site. This in turn increases your ranking because of the anchor text you employ. So remember to internal link like this. Try it, it works!

Log Files-

Making good use of your log files is intelligent. What you can do is look at what search phrases people are using to find your site. These logs tell you exactly the keywords being used. If your site is not optimized for these keywords, make the changes accordingly so that you are. Additionally, you could make a brand new page just for a certain keyword, if the keyword is being searched enough to find your site. This information is free and very relevant.
