SEO Techniques That Work

ve no doubt that most people who own a website on the internet have heard of SEO, which stands for search engine optimisation. Knowing about it is one thing, understanding it however is a whole different ball game. A lot of these people simply do not have the time to learn about the ins and outs of SEO and instead look to a third party to deal with this for them. Unfortunately there is an awful lot of misplaced advice given from people trying to make a quick buck and in this article I am going to write about SEO tactics that do work.

The first bit of advice that I think is important to state, is to be aware when so so called SEO experts state they can get you onto the first page of Google's natural listings within say two months. Firstly enquire as to whether this is Google dot com or Google dot co dot uk. It is more difficult to gain high placements on Google dot com for obvious reasons but this is where you eventually want to be. The SEO expert may well be able to gain this top ten or top twenty ranking for your site but may well use techniques that could end up in your website being banned for ever. Tactics such as hidden pages or cloaking are some of the favourite of these web promotion cheats.


In SEO as in most areas of life, hard work pays off. What we all need to do is to attract visitors to our sites and the best way to do this is to have other webmasters to add a link to your site on their site. This is not that easy but is where this hard work comes into play. Communication is a big part of learning about SEO and gaining these links. I personally love to speak to other webmasters about their experiences and am always cheeky to ask if they will put a link to my site on theirs.


These are the ways I like to promote my own websites, article marketing, talking to other webmasters and learning from their experiences, and also by ensuring that the content of the sites is of value which will by itself encourage other people to link to the sites
