Keywords, Backlinks, and Search Engine Optimization

First find your niche.

Use a keyword suggestion tool to find the best keywords for your niche. Look for and use long tailed keywords.

There are a number of keyword research tools that can help you find them. You can "google" the term "keyword suggestion tool" to find something that will help you choose a good long tailed keyword.

Search Engine Optimization is a process of choosing the most appropriate targeted keyword phrases related to your site and ensuring that this ranks your site highly in search engines so that when someone searches for specific phrases it returns your site on tops.

One of the best ways to make this happen is to get "anchor text backlinks" with your keyword from a high page rank website.

Getting high quality backlinks is a simple task. Basically it involves finding websites with high page rank and writing articles.

When you find a high page rank website in your niche, you could offer to buy a backlink from the webmaster of that site. But most of the time when you do that it is expensive and not permanent.

Next lets look at article writing.

Writing can be easy if you use the right approach. If you are a natural writer then nothing else needs to be said. However if you are like most of us you will need some help.

PLR

Yes private label rights articles. There are thousands of PLR articles on just about any niche. If you are in need of PLR articles email me and I will give you some free of charge.

Take these articles and re-write them. Simple. 30% change is all it takes. If you are in a niche that you know something about it should be easy. Also go to http://prweb.com/ click on the "search archives" tab. Enter your niche keyword, and you will find some press releases that you can also use (re-write).

Now if all of that does not get your creative juices flowing then out source.

When you start to out source think local. If there is a college near where you live, go there! Chances are they will be teaching a course that will be close to your niche. Get students to write articles for you. You can also use high school student that are academically motivated. If that does not work for you then go to one of the many ghostwriting services on the net.

First start with two articles. Submit those articles to http://www.ezinearticles.com and http://www.goarticles.com one two each. Then "re-write" the re-writes and submit them to all of the other article directories, via submission software. I use Article Robot, you can get it here.

There is another way to get backlinks. Adding comments to blogs. There is a few problems with that.

1)Finding blogs in your niche.

2)Finding blogs in your niche with high page rank.

3)Finding blogs in your niche that have a "do-follow" tag.

Most blog platforms by default have the no-follow tag. That means no matter how high the page rank is...you don't get no link love. You could comment on those blogs 'til you get blue where ever you get blue. NO LINK LOVE! So you will need to find a blog that overrides the "no-follow" tag, is in your niche, and have a high page rank.
