JO-ANNE VANDERMEULEN “Conquer All Obstacles”

To ‘conquer all obstacles’ and get your site climbing higher in those search engines, you must be prepared to do some work. Sure, establishing a readership so those hits magnify in numbers is important, but now you’ll have to convince the webcrawlers.

How do I optimize my site in a search engines perspective?

Register the site to Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Approximate Market Share: Google 63%, Yahoo 20%, Microsoft 9%, Ask 5%, AOL 4%. Here are links to where you can submit your website to the top three search engines:

Google: http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl

Yahoo: http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html

MSN: http://search.msn.com/docs/submit.aspx

Google actually says it’s not necessary to submit your site because they will find you! They find you primarily through links from other sites. However, if links from other sites are in short supply, be sure to submit your site. Once is enough. But please have your site finished and polished before doing so.

Climbing the ladder, up the search engine rankings, takes time. Results are not going to happen over night.

Register the site with ‘Linkreferral.com‘ or ‘Socialize It‘. Link these tag mechanisms by pasting their link on your page or site. For example, if you want your selling page to be the focal, make sure you place their symbol and links on that specific page. If you look on my Premium Promotional Service site, you’ll see the buttons placed in the widgets on the side bar and bottom of the main page. After the site is registered and you’ve linked sites, click on the buttons and tag your site using as many mechanisms as possible (ex: digg, stumbleupon, bookmark, etc.). Don’t forget to include the tags. Bold the keywords, add them to heading tags and add them to images.

Add more links. With your high quality content, the traffic will increase to your site. Soon others will make contact to link their blog with yours. Check out their site first. Go with your gut reactions. It doesn’t hurt to reach out to others and request linkage. By accumulating links on similar niche, the keywords tagged will be emphasized and the speed to climb the up the ladder in the ranking process will increase.

Keep track of your stats. Analyze where the traffic is centralizing. Increase the internal links to these pages by adding extra links to the page. Include and highlight some of these pages in your sidebar or bottom of your posts. Again, don’t forget to link the topic so your readers will simply navigate back to the high traffic topic. Don’t delete these pingbacks; instead, highlight and apply them to your site. You may even decide to publish another post on the similar topic of interest.

You can ‘conquer all obstacles’ by taking the time manipulating the search engines to increase the ranking stats of your site. With more traffic heading to your site where your books are for sale, will increase the chances of success to greater sales.
