Choosing the right keywords

This may be the most difficult part of your journey, especially if you don’t fit the target profile. That is, picking the keywords they will use to find your site.You can start by using free tools like Yahoo!s keyword suggestion tool. It gives you a good place to start picking keywords.Start with a phrase you know your site is about (i.e. if you sell widgets, then simply put “widgets” in the search box). The tool will then not only spit out other related words, but also the search volumes associated with each for the previous month.A word of caution however: Sometimes, depending on when you use the tool, the search volumes are from a couple months ago. So if your product is seasonal based, the numbers may actually be lower or higher than represented.Don’t be afraid to get a few hundred words to start. Remember, right now you are just gathering ideas – phrases that could drive traffic to your site. They aren’t all necessarily being used by your target customer.You can also go to Google’s Adwords site and perform the above steps. Start with a phrase or two which describe your site or product and use Google’s suggestion tool to help expand your list.At this point you want as many phrases on your list as possible. Don’t worry, you will cull the list pretty quickly.Once you have a huge list of words, the next place to go is a site like Wordtracker, which has a keyword analysis tool. This tool can be used for a one time fee, or if it’s something you might want to return to you can purchase a subscription. It is a fairly simple tool to use and will give you a good idea of just how likely your site will be able to compete for a phrase.A warning about Wordtracker: The software uses search volumes from some fairly minor sites such as Dogpile, so the estimates could be a little skewed. But again, unless you deal with an SEO firm that has their own proprietary software, this is about your best alternative.

Forget 10 tips to generate traffic to your sites. These FOUR Tips will do it!!

Building quality backlinks is an important to improve your blog, or website for that matter.
It is important process for the success or failure of a site.
What is a backlink?A backlink is a link from another website to yours.
Why do I need backlinks? Backlinks are important for a number of reasons:
They can increase traffic to your website.
They are an important factor when Google assigns Page Rank.
They help to improve your ranking on search engine results pages.
Submitting your sites to directories can be used to build backlinks.
Directory Submission
Submitting your blog to directories should be one of the first things you do to kickstart your link building efforts.
It is unlikely you’ll ever see any significant traffic from directories, but that’s okay. The purpose here is to gain backlinks to help increase your PageRank.
There are both general directories and blog specific directories. Seeing as this process can be quite monotonous I’d suggest starting with the blog specific directories and if you don’t run out of steam move on to the general directories afterwards.
Note: Make sure you only submit to directories with high PageRank.
Alot of directories require a reciprocal link, meaning they will only list you in their directory if you link back to them from your blog. It is generally better to stay away from these sorts of directories.
Here are a few directory lists to get you started:
Blog Directories
General Directories
Free SEO Friendly Directories
High PageRank/Non-Reciprocal Directories
For those of you who would rather not plug away at their computers all day you can find plenty of people on the Digital Point forums who offer directory submission services. It comes at a price of course, but most of them are pretty reasonable.

Comments, Comments, Comments


I was reading a post that asked this question and some readers said because they did not know how to leave comments! I thought everyone knew how to leave a comment, but for those who do not then listen: just Read a post that interest you and at the bottom you will see where it says COMMENTs you click on that word and a box will come out in that box you leave a comment about the post you just read whether you liked it or not or give any comments that participate to the post your views, opinions, your thoughts about what you read. It is good to leave comments, its good for your ranking. I think it’s important to let the author know you appreciate their work, give them some kudos. If a blog catches my eye, makes me smile, shares with me some good information, or if I like the blogger or what they’re about. I want to comment them.
It starts a real sense of community. For example - I always visit the blog of someone who has left me a comment. I like to check their blog. I’ve met some great people that way. Comment on Fresh Blogs For Fresh Perspectives - If you are always among the same crowd you will find inevitably the same thoughts being reflected back over and over. Break out! I advise people to comment on new blogs every day. By not commenting on the same old blogs, or especially setting a goal to comment on more blogs than the day before, you will be forced to leave your blog-reading comfort zone and visit new blogs. This exposes you to new ideas, different ways of looking at things, and hopefully a way out of the echo chamber.
Blogging is not just about saying your piece, it is also about going out and joining the conversation where it is happening. It’s about reaching out to people and exposing yourself (steady!) to new ideas. Some giving as well as all this taking back we focus on.
When you post a comment on a blog, you often get a link out of it. Especially if that blog has a no no follow policy.
It is always best if you leave comments on the blogs that you visit. Now leave me your comments on what you think about this Post..Be Sure to Leave Your Comments!
