Building Internet Traffic & SEO Tips

Archive for the ‘More Website Traffic’ Category

I was driving down one of the main streets in Redding yesterday and as I pulled to a stop I noticed a lot of little mom and pop style businesses. I thought, “Hm… I wonder if these people have a website and if so, are they listed in the search engines. And can people actually find them?”

Recently I asked my chiropractor if he himself had a website. He said, “Yep, I’m online.” He was happy about the fact that he had a website.

However, he had no idea that his website was not driving any traffic from the search engines. The benefit of his website was very minimal. The only traffic he was getting was coming from people who already knew about his business or they knew about him personally.

I’m sure you would agree that if your business is to grow and gain any type of momentum, you will need to have new clients. People who don’t know anything about you, but are looking for whatever it is your offer. Whether that be a service or a product.

The Internet is growing at an extreme pace. I was introduced to a video that I thought hits this point on the head. It is well worth watching.

Today, the Yellow pages or any other offline book that contains your business name, address, phone number and so forth is becoming obsolete. Now is the time to make sure you not only online but you are visible.

Is Search Engine Optimization a Big Secret?

Most people talk about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in such a manner that it gives out the idea as if it was a big secret. True, there may be techniques and methods that you may not be aware of and thus, they are deemed as ’secrets’ by some. However, upon closer inspection, most of these ’secrets’ can be easily availed through Google’s guidelines for webmasters.

When considering to hire SEO service providers, it is advisable to take the time to read these guidelines yourself. This is to avoid any possibility of hiring unscrupulous SEO providers who would use unapproved or ‘black hat SEO’ methods. It is as important to know these guidelines as it is to obtain a good page ranking.

Am I saying then that there are absolutely no SEO secrets? No. I am merely saying that those who have researched and analyzed these techniques and guidelines would have a better understanding of the matter.

Let’s look at it from this perspective. When you watch a magician’s performance, it will only work if you do not know the trick or method involved. Once that is revealed, it is no longer a ’secret’.

Magician’s are quite protective of their methods. In some ways, these methods and magic tricks are viewed as a ’secret’ to the public. Search Engine Optimization is a little like that. On one hand, most of these methods and guidelines are easily availed through Google while on the other, there are some techniques that are not as easily available. People are willing to pay thousands of dollars to learn these SEO techniques. This, to some extent makes them  ’secrets’.

Even with the proper guidelines, search engine optimization can be very tricky and frustrating. You may follow the guidelines closely but yet find yourself failing to increase your website traffic

It may take up to months for you to get noticed and listed on the search engines. Knowing that there are those who can get their websites listed in only a matter of days makes it even more frustrating as you know there are ways to do it and you are not able to access it.

Learning to gain traffic through search engines such as Google can be very time consuming and frustrating. My knowledge of SEO was built upon trial and error over the past 9 years. I’ve also spent thousands of dollars to learn many valuable techniques that save me time as well as bring me great results.

Business owners usually do not possess the time to be able to learn all these SEO techniques and neither do they have the time to conduct trial and errors through their own websites.

This site is not here to teach you to be an SEO specialists but help you understand what it takes to improve your website visibility which translates to traffic and more business. What you have to consider is your time and it’s value.

You may find that your time is better spent in what you know, leaving what you do not know about SEO up to an SEO specialist.

Let’s look at the title of this post, Engine Optimization Search and SEO Services.
