It's what all athletes, students, schools, companies, sales people, sports teams, movie producers, television and radio stations want....to be number one. On the Internet being ranked #1 in a Google search can mean a difference in the millions as far as visitors to your site go.
How can I get to that number one spot...easy, you need to be good with SEO (Search Engine Optimization? If you accomplish that this means more traffic for you? What is SEO? It is defined as: "Short for search engine optimization, the process of increasing the amount of visitors to a Web site by ranking high in the search results of a search engine. The higher a Web site ranks in the results of a search, the greater the chance that that site will be visited by a user. It is common practice for Internet users to not click through pages and pages of search results, so where a site ranks in a search is essential for directing more traffic toward the site. SEO helps to ensure that a site is accessible to a search engine and improves the chances that the site will be found by the search engine."
Here is one important aspect of SEO, one that should be part of your strategy.
Link Popularity, Adding content and meta tags all working together is what gives you good positioning in search engines. The first thing that is looked at by a search engine would be the Link Popularity.
Basically it is when other sites link to your site. Your site is popular because of how many other sites know of it. Trading links sole purpose is for your site to gain importance on search engines such as GOOGLE, Yahoo, Ask Jeeves and MSN.
Easy ways to get involved in link Popularity:
1) Linking to directories: like Directory Revolution, DMOZ and others. Linking with directories is a great way to find sites like yours and who are willing to trade links because most people who have signed up for a directory usually understand the importance of "Link Popularity"
2) Search Google for keywords that describe your site concept. Search also for web sites that are well ranked the more high-ranking sites you link to the better. Where appropriate, submit your Web site to those Web sites.
3) Create a link to my website strategy: Create a page on your site to notify others that you are aware of the benefits of link popularity and are looking for link partners. Once you start adding links to your site be sure to come up with a good management system for keeping in track of those who have linked and those who have not.
4) Download and use the Google Toolbar to track the popularity and traffic rank of your Web site, as well as other Web sites of interest. Click here to download the Google toolbar. Another Toolbar that is a must for Web Marketers is the Alexa Toolbar.
