Internet Market SEO

Why make a website if nobody can find it?  That would be the same as starting a restaurant that nobody can find, you would go out of business.  So as early as the first day that you have a website you should be focusing on your Internet Market and trying to make your website SEO friendly.  SEO stands for search engine optimization.  A search engine is what you use to search the Internet.  Google, yahoo, bing and msn are the most popular search engines but there are hundreds more.  The reason that you should focus on Google is because about 80% of searches are done on Google and about 12% are done on Yahoo, leaving all the other search engines splitting the remaining 8% of searches.   Although Bing is bringing in a more searches right now, it will most likely fade away and Yahoo will stay in second place.  If you want to rank your website in google and you only have a couple small posts on your 1 month old site chances are you will never make it in the top 200.  When I say top 200 i’m referring to where your site is when someone searches for a specific term.  Every site should have that one super term that you want to rank for.  If you built a site on purple gadgets you would want you site to be the first result showing in Google when someone searches for “purple gadgets”.

So what determines how a website will rank in Google?

Well Google uses a huge algorithm to rank websites and the age of your site does help a little bit but it’s not the most important factor influencing your rankings.  The number of links pointing at your page is the most important factor for ranking your webpage in Google.  These links are called backlinks and it is very important what the link says that is linking back to your site.  A link is something that is underlined and that you can click which will then take you to another place on the Internet.  This is a link to a previous post on this site —>Internet Marketing with the Keyword Academy.  You don’t simply want to through up links all over the place that say PurpleWidgets.com for your purple widgets site.  You want to make sure they say what your site to be found with.  Not many people will be typing purplewidgets.com in the search area of Google, they will be putting “purple widgets” so your links should say “purple widgets”.

So how do you get a lot of links going back to your site?

First you should have good content on your site that is very informative and helpful to others and you will naturally get links from other people because they liked your site.  But this won’t happen as much as you need it to so you need to write articles at places like EzineArticles.com and GoArticles.com that allow you to put 2 links at the end of your article that point back at your site.  Ezine is the best place on the Internet for writing articles and I would suggest that you write an ezine for every single post you write on your site.

Internet marketing is a career that might be right for you.  More and more people are using the Internet to promote their business or product and they need marketing just as much as any other company needs it.

Internet marketing focuses on driving people (traffic) to your website from search engines such as Google, Yahoo or Bing.  There are tons of search engines but the leader of them all is Google so most of the efforts in the internet market are to rank sites in Google.

When I say “rank sites” in Google I mean making a certain website come up on the front page in Google and preferably the first result listed.  Nobody really goes to the second page so even being ranked number 15 out of 20 million sites won’t get you traffic.  It’s top 10 or nothing when it comes to the Internet.

SEO (search engine optimization) is the word used by internet marketers for ranking sites to make them come up number one in the search engines.  In the Internet Market SEO is the most important factor for making money from your site or product.

The Keyword Academy is a site that teaches their students how to go about ranking a site number one in Google.  Knowing how to be a successful internet marketer will make you priceless for any company or individual that wants to create a site in hopes of getting people to find their product.
