Organic
SEO The New Messiah For Webmasters
Organic
SEO seems to be the catch phrase of the moment. However, unlike
many other linking tactics and strategies, this one actually works.
What
is Organic SEO or Organic Search Engine Optimization?
Explained
simply, it's where all your linking structures originates from the
content up - in other words, you let all your content created for
your sites, blogs and articles do your link building for you.
Actually,
the answer is as simple as this article. You're probably experiencing
one of the best examples of Organic SEO right this moment by reading
this article. Article marketing is pure Organic SEO. You let your
article and your author's resource box build one-way links from
related niche sites to your site.
But
the keyword is content. You must create high quality original content
for this system to really develop and flourish. The better the content,
the faster your rankings and traffic will grow. By producing valuable
content in articles, sites and blogs, you are building real traffic
and real links that the search engines salivate over. And they will
reward your site with higher rankings and even more traffic.
Try
Article Writing...
Frankly,
I was rather surprised at the effectiveness of article writing.
It seems like such a benevolent little creature. You write about
your own experiences on the subject of your site or blog, keeping
your articles short, around 500 to 800 words - although some of
my best performing articles have been longer, about 900 to 1200
words.
I have
only written about 60 articles. But the benefits have been enormous;
spreading my content all over the web and building one-way links
to my sites and blogs. Some of these articles like the ones in Addme.com
or Webpronews.com get archived and will provide good deep PR links
for years to come.
There
are a few techniques I use to extend the effectiveness of my articles.
First, I always start with a keyword or keyword phrase that I want
to target with a particular article. I do major, major, major research
on my article's keywords - using sites like nichebot.com, overture.com,
and a few others.
I check
how much competition there is for the keywords. Combining a new
keyword with ones you already have positioned high for in the search
engines works well. For example, I have optimized my site for the
keyword 'Free', it appears throughout my site. When I introduce
a new keyword phrase I sometimes combine it with Free. Pick the
right keyword combination and you will gain an edge over your competition
more quickly.
Always
put your keyword phrase into the title of your article. I also make
it a habit of not picking the top keywords in a niche, I go for
middle ranked keywords - I am better assured that I will rank on
the first page SERPs for these lower keywords. Why waste valuable
time shooting for the stars when you can easily land on the moon!
I submit
my articles mainly to a short list of online article directories
( ezinearticles.com,buzzle.com,isnare.com,goarticles.com,ideamarketers.com,
and articlealley.com ) these work the best for me. These sites rank
well in the search engines and even though the surfer may go to
another site to read your article first, it then delivers a much
more warmed up and targeted visitor to your own site.
Other
webmasters from your niche will pick up your high quality articles
and place them on their sites. Organically growing more related
one-way links to your site. Google looks very favorably on these
one-way links and will reward your site for having them.
Article
marketing is one Organic SEO tactic every website should be using.
Instead of paying high prices for seo services, why not write or
hire someone to create keyword rich articles for your site. The
benefits will surprise you.
Try
Blogging...
Blogs
are another form of Organic SEO. It also builds links and traffic
to your site the natural way - by providing valuable content.
For
those marketers and webmasters who practice Organic SEO, the free
blogging systems are a godsend. A skilled marketer can legitimately
use these online blogging programs to boost their site's rankings,
traffic and income. What more can any online marketer or webmaster
ask for?
I use
numerous blogs to compliment my sites. I base these blogs on the
major keywords of my sites. For example, one section on my main
Internet Marketing site examines laptop computers, I created a blog
with Bloglines.com covering the same topic. Although all the content
is different from what you will find on my main site.
I also
use Blogger.com because it's owned by Google and is very simple
to use. I find posting my weekly ezine on Blogger adds another way
I can get my message out to my subscribers. Not to mention, all
the linking and pinging a blog brings into play.
I also
use the open source software and system, WordPress for another of
my blogs on marketing. This is a php database supported program
that was a lot less easier to set up on my site than I first expected.
It's one of the best blogging systems I have worked with and is
highly favored by the search engines. If you're not using it - try
it.
In
addition, I have just started using LiveJournal for another blog
and that system is also very easy to use. I usually post to my blogs
once or twice a week, just short helpful tips or links that a visitor
or search engine would be interested in. Keep in mind, all these
free blogging sites are PR9 or PR10, has to count for something.
Spam
has become a problem with many of these blogging systems, I now
usually block all comments or moderate them. All this spam just
goes to show how effective getting links in related blogs can booster
your rankings for competitive keywords.
I have
found blogging to be a very effective tool for getting your keywords
indexed and ranked very quickly. I also like to use blogs for those
golden double-header listings in the SERPs, preferably at the number
1 and 2 spots! That's where you get two listings from your site
for a certain keyword on the first page, this I find, brings in
a lot more traffic than a single listing.
In
art there is something called the Golden Section, a perfect proportion
that works magic into any painting or picture. It is an organic
and natural effect that appears everywhere in our world. For webmasters,
having your site listed 1 and 2 for your keywords has to be another
form of the Golden Section, made especially for us.
In
that same light, Organic SEO is a natural and effective way for
webmasters to grow their links and rankings. Articles and blogs
are two special tools we can use to further that natural growth.
Create your own Golden Section and give the search engines something
to talk about by trying Organic SEO. Build your links and rankings
the natural way.
Your
site's salvation is only a keystroke away!
