What Is SEO and How Do You Do It for Free?

When I first started in Internet Marketing I saw the acronym SEO all over the place and I asked myself what is SEO. So I decided to do a search and find out what it was. I found out that SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization.

A search engine is where people go to find information on the internet like Google, Yahoo, Bing etc. People who have websites want their content to be as close to the number one spot as possible, hence optimization. If their content is in the number one spot their is a much more likely chance that their website will be clicked on. The more clicks they get, the more traffic they get to their website and then more sales, leads or whatever their goal is from that traffic.

What I am going to teach you today are some tips for getting your article to the first page in the search engines SEO, and if you find the right keywords you can get to the first spot. All of these techniques are free to do.

1. Keywords - a keyword is the main subject of what is being searched for or what is in the mind of your customer or prospect. Use the Google keyword tool to help with this. Put a keyword in your title and once per paragraph. Find keywords that are low to medium in competition and high in global monthly searches.

2. Pictures - the search engines love pictures so put a picture in your article. It can be a picture of your or something relevant to your content.

3. Article directories - post your article to 5 or more article directories to get what is called back-links to your site. The search engine love back-links, it makes your site look important.

4. Video - make a short video and post it to you tube about your article and put the link to your article at the bottom this gets your more back-links. Put that video on You Tube. Go to a website called Tube Mogul to blast it out to hundreds of other video sites to get even more back links.

5. Put a link to another page within your site in your article. If you don't have one yet write another article that relates to your current one and link them together.

6. Put a your keyword in your first sentence and your last sentence, and bold your keyword somewhere in your article.

These are all tips that Google likes to see SEO when it crawls around looking for websites to put in rank order. There are more tips for getting to the very first spot SEO that I can teach you later.
