Getting your site ranked well in Google is the aim of many entrepreneurs & business owners, but not many people have an idea about how to do it. Fortunately, there are 3 simple tricks to boost your site’s rank in just a few days. Here’s how to do them..

1) Create Lots Of Relevant Pages – The best thing you can do for your website is to focus on a series of different keywords with many relevant pages. Most webmasters make the fatal mistake of making a small 10 page site that they hope will rank for 100′s of search terms. This will never work – Google and the other search engines are based on how relevant pages are, and will rank individual (targeted) pages of your site far higher than the main page. If you have a site with many different products / topics… then make sure you dedicate at least one page to each. Don’t try and cram everything onto one page.

2) Create Lots Of Links To Your Site Over A Steady Period Of Time – Links to your site shows the search engines that you are an active participant in the Internet ‘community’ AND that other sites want to link to you. However, getting too many links at once can have a devastating effect on your ranks (because Google thinks you’re trying to ‘game’ its system). In order to get the best results, you should create a steady flow of around 5-10 links every day to your site from the likes of directories, blog comments and forum signatures.

3) Focus On Top Quality Links - Getting low quality (free) links from websites is easy enough, and is so easy that the search engines are not counting them as highly any more. Now the search engines are focusing more on the quality of links – and value the best one-way, authority links as the most valuable, making them boost your site in the rankings. Getting these links is a lot more difficult and in order to get them, you could think about investing in some quality links from the likes of blog posts or link pages. The more high quality links you get, the faster you’ll get the top ranks in the search engines.

Create a video blog

If you run your own business, you would more than likely be well aware of the power of promotion. Having your business listed in the Yellow Pages can be one way, or even a listing in your local newspaper, but the real key is in finding where the eyes are. The truth of the matter is that peoples eyes are shifting to the internet, where search engines control what it is that people find. It is in this sense that SEO is becoming a huge part of offline business promotion.

So, why the shift to the online realm for promotion? To be as blunt as I can possibly be, there are too many reasons to list that could convince you that you need a better online presence, so I will talk about the three most powerful reasons with you today.

Everyone Has The Internet In Their Back Pocket

If we look at the common person, they will have a computer at home, one at work, plus mobile internet access on their cell phone. In all essence, this is the equivalent of having all of the phone books on earth, plus encyclopaedias, plus everything else you could imagine in your back pocket. What this means is that it is accessible, as as such, if someone is looking for your business, regardless of where they are, they should be able to access it online.

Google Local Is The Future

If you don’t know what Google Local is, it is the equivalent to having localised and relevant results delivered into the palm of your hand on request. Imagine searching for a plumber in your local city, and having preferential results delivered to the top of the page based on the location of your IP address? Now, imagine that you were that plumber, and that you have done a little SEO to your page about your business, plus were listed with Google Local?

It is as simple as this. The internet is evolving, and as it is, it is going local. Delivering high quality relevant results to those who seek it. As you could imagine, this is an extremely powerful method of online promotion, and definitely a great way of getting the word out there about your offline (or online) business.

The Internet Is Cost Effective

When compared to the other prehistoric methods of promotion, promoting your business online is extremely cost effective, and has many benefits. For example, by dominating in the search engines, you can not only be much more discoverable by searchers, but you can also be identified as an expert within your niche through various other methods of promotion. This is something that has never existed through previous methods, unless you were lucky enough to get media attention. In the case of the internet, you can simply build your business, your persona, and simply watch the visitors flow in.

So, let me ask you this? If you have an offline business, are you using the power of the internet to market your business? If not, then remind yourself of the power of marketing your business where your customers are now searching. Of course, it is not as simple as it sounds, with various variations and methods out there to follow, however, there is simply no denying that the power of online promotion is hands down one of the most effective business tools currently available.
