Search engine optimization is one of the very best ways that you can get very targeted traffic to your website.
Often people will make things a lot more difficult than what it actually is.
In this article I would like to go over the basics so that you can get good search engine rankings.
1) Submit to all the major directories To get good rankings you need to get a lot of quality one way links pointing to your websites.
The quickest way that you can do this is by submitting to all the major directories.
The top two that you should submit to are Yahoo and Open Directory.
After this there a few second tier directories that you can submit to as well.
2) Write articles and submit these to all the major directories Writing articles is one of the most powerful strategies that you can use to generate high quality one way links to your website.
The reason for this is that when they get published on article directories these have a very high page rank and will boost your rankings.
Also these will become viral as they get picked up by other websites.
To date I have published over 800 articles and have generated over 1800 high quality one way links because of this.
3) Find suitable websites to link with You can joint venture with different companies by promoting each others links.
If you have products that compliment each other instead of directly competing with each other you can benefit from each other's traffic.
