How to Get Better Positions at Google
If you have a website and wanted to turn it into something profitable, you need to get a good amount of traffic before you can monetize your site. How can you do this? You need to get better positions at search engines. Eighty percent of Internet traffic actually comes from search engines.
Google is without a doubt the most popular and the mostly-used search engine on the Internet. Web surfers simply love Google’s fast search results and the simple design it has makes the site fast loading.
There are two basic ways to achieve better positions at Google. You can do a thorough Search Engine Optimization (SEO) of your site and you can also join Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising.
Here are some tips to get you started:
Choose the right keyword
If you want to optimize your website (SEO), choosing the right keyword is very important. Pick the keyword that would match what your site is all about. Once you have chosen an appropriate keyword, you need to incorporate it to your domain if possible. You should also place your keywords in different components of your website including the headers, title tags, meta tags, and all throughout your articles.
Manage your internal links
Your internal links should also contain keywords. Internal links means your navigation links within your site’s pages. You should check and validate all your links and try as much to have two clicks on every page.
Manage your external links
It is also important to have a good number of outgoing links. Google warns that your site should only link to related and quality sites. Be careful not to direct your link to link farms, which can possibly get you penalized. When creating outgoing links, your anchor text should be descriptive and on topic, and if possible should contain your chosen keyword too. Make sure that all your external links are valid. Google originally limits external link to 100, but can actually accept 2 to 3 times this figure.
Keep your content fresh
As you may often hear it among Internet marketers- content is king. If you wanted Google to recognize your site, you need to keep your content fresh all the time. Everyone wanted to read something new everyday, so do Google. Ever wonder why Ebay is often at the top pages of Google? Auctions changes every single minute and Google just loves it. Adding fresh links to your site would also contribute to getting better positions at Google.
Pay Per Click Advertising
Google Adwords is by far the most efficient Pay Per Click advertising on the Internet, especially if you wanted to get a better position at Google. Google’s user base is actually a technical market that is comfortable using the computer to buy things online and do other stuff on the Internet.
Google Adwords also delivers instant results so you can have your web promotion up and running in no time compared to other PPC service that can take a couple of days before your link can be set-up.
Allot a few hours of the day in optimizing your websites. Subscribe to web tools that can readily give you results and an evaluation of your ad campaign. With enough effort and patience (not to mention a few dollars for PPC advertising), you would surely improve your Google ranking in no time.
