By now it's common knowledge: It is very important to rank well in the major search engines.
High search engine rankings can bring qualified, interested visitors to the web site you create. And, those visitors come to you believing that you know what you are talking about, since you showed up in the search engine results.
People are always asking me "How do I get my website to show up first when I type
a search term into the search engine's search box?".
Well, here's the secret... Create a top-quality website that's packed with useful information, and
then get more relevant links pointing back to your site than your competitors
have.
Surprised? You shouldn't be. The secret is not really a secret at all.
We all want short cuts and quick fixes for fast and easy success on the web. It would be nice if you could believe the ads, submit to
20 bazillion search engines for free, and get to the top of Google and the rest
of the search engines. But, alas, it simply doesn't work that way. It takes hard work and long term commitment.
So, what can you do today to get started on the path to high search engine
rankings?
1. Write a fresh, new article on your website's topic. You needn't be a great
author to create a great article for the web. Anyone can do it.
Just sit down and think about what you know that other people might like to hear.
Don't simply create a thinly disguised advertisement for yourself, but real useful
information others can use.
Then, write it out - just like you are talking to someone. Go back and edit, proof read, and edit again. Then, post your new article on your website.
2. Share your article with others to get links back to your site.
Website owners all over the Internet need quality, useful information to
re-print on their websites. You can give it to them return for a simple text
link back to your own site.
The following sites allow you to submit your article for free, and other people
will pick it up, re-print it on their website and link back to you:
Repeat steps 1 and 2 above, and you will build lots of content and inbound links. And that will help your search engine rankings. And that's no secret.
