Search Engine Marketing – Best Practices
Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned pro, getting your site to rank well can be a trying experience. No matter how great the challenges associated with ranking well in the search engines, it’s something that every internet marketer must come to grips with.
There’s a good deal of confusion about how necessary Page Rank is to ranking well. Page Rank is sufficient but not necessary for solid rankings. Let me explain. Focusing on building Page Rank, although important in the long term, should not be the only thing you try to do. Webmasters have been brow-beat into thinking that their businesses will live and die with Page Rank. Your site’s ability to convert visitors into some form of measurable action is a significantly more important gauge of your site’s worth than Page Rank.
Anyone, working on any website, can get some decent rankings if they’re willing to put in the time and effort. The process typically can be a little hit and miss before you begin to see what works for your particular niche. Number one on your list of things to do is simple: Your site needs to turn traffic into action. Even if you spent a fortune on web development and design, that doesn’t mean your site will convert your traffic. Search engine marketing is NOT Page Rank or SERPs or web design and code – It’s the process of getting visitors to take action. {This is exactly where the CB Affiliate Loophole really shines.} Somehow we’ve been led to believe that search is god and traffic is king. This is flat out wrong. Conversion is king. You can make any site rank. Not every site converts!
When developing your site, keyword research must come first. Not only is it going to drive your site’s design and content, it’s going to drive your site’s marketing strategy. How should we be spending our time and energy marketing? Job one is building backlinks. Mind you, not just any backlink will do. Oh no, we’re talking backlinks with our keywords and keyphrases as anchor text. As far as the search engines are concerned, one link is better than none. This implies you should be placing links on sites and domains that may or may not have decent Page Rank. If one is better than none, then just how many is best? The answer to that question is mainly up to the competition you have in your market. The lower the competition, the fewer links you will need. Your anchor text will determine what keywords your site and pages will rank for. Get the anchor text right and you can do very well with just a few backlinks no matter the Page Rank of the site linking back to you. Pairing your keywords as anchor text will pretty much ensure that you’ve got an efficient link building campaign off the ground. Keywords or phrases that don’t speak to your market and you’re dead. Ineffective anchor text and you may as well be dead!
Of course the traffic you generate as a result of your link building efforts is wasted if you’re not testing. And testing is at the very heart of conversions. Guess what? We’re right back where we began – talking about conversions! I’m going to leave a more detailed post about conversion tactics and strategies for later. I want to let some of this sink in before the real fun starts. So – stay tuned! Rest assured that converting visitors is the fun part!
