Getting your network marketing content ranking higher on the search engines can get pretty involved, so below is a list explaining the importance of keywords and keyword phrases for newbies to get started with.

Two key elements that get your content found on the search engines are:

• Firstly: Keyword value in your content.

Google sends what they call spiders to crawl over your content and they specifically search for popular words (keywords). When you create content, you want to make it keyword rich.

For example, if I was creating content about network marketing, I would place the keywords "network marketing" throughout my content. I might add something like "network marketing training" and "network marketing online" to make sure the spiders pick up on my keywords.

You want to make sure you start with keywords in your title and then again at the beginning of your article.

Use keywords or phrases generously in your content, but use them in a natural way.

Highlight keywords by making them bold and italicized.

Focus on one main keyword or phrase in your content, and a little less on two or three others. A simple rule to follow is "say it first and say it often".

• Secondly: Link Value

Anchor Text. What keywords or phrases are you using to link to other content. For example, if I wanted someone who was reading my content about "network marketing" to see the tools that would help them, I would insert the keywords, "network marketing tools" and make them a link to another one of my webpages. This would generate more traffic to my different sites and more traffic is also recognised by google and helps to push you higher in the search engine rankings.

Google gives different rankings for different sites, for example, sites such as squidoo, ezines and YouTube are high on googles rankings. Therefore, if you create content in squidoo and use keywords or phrases to link it to content you have created in ezine articles for example, this will influence your rankings for the better.

Where do you begin?

Start by creating content at higher google ranked sites such as, squidoo, ezine articles, hubpages.

Use a free keyword tool such as Google Adwords: Keyword Tool to search for keywords or phrases. Focus first with less competitive keywords. What do I mean by this? Well you may have 10 000 people searching for "network marketing" and only 2000 searching for "network marketers". You have more chance of being found by a smaller group searching for a certain keyword.

The more content you create with the right links, the more traffic you will generate to your webpages.

I wish you great success!
