Promoting your website is critically important. Truth is, however, nearly none all the world's "webmasters" have any understanding of the importance of website promotion. Do you know that there are, literally, trillions of web pages on the Net? Hundreds of millions of web sites. Most web pages get little or no traffic while only a small minority of websites get huge traffic. In the vast expanse of the Net, a website without traffic does not exist and that fact, coupled with the enormous amount of different web pages already online, can be pretty overwhelming at first blush for most people. Sadly for them, most are never going to succeed. Yet, for all those "webmasters" who never achieve decent traffic, there are many others who not only survive but thrive. Pure luck? Or is there something else at play here? Here is a dirty little secret. It is easier to get to the top of Google than you think. And, that is where you want your web pages to be because 90% of all web traffic comes from one of the 10 web pages listed on the first page of a search engine's Search Results. While it is probably impossible to get each of your web pages onto the first page of Google (or Yahoo or Bing) Search Results, if you follow a few simple rules you can get several of them there. Think about it this way: somebody is at the top. Why them and not you? So, what are you waiting for? Start promoting your website! Get to the Top of Google: Secret 1 Website promotion begins before you write your first word. This is because every web page (whether you know it or not) depends upon great keyword selection. Pick the right keyword and you will get good traffic and rise rapidly in the Search Results. Pick a poor keyword and you may be lost in the vast darkness of the web. To be frank, it will take a little bit longer to do things correctly up front but the payoff will be well worth it. Here are two tips to get you started. They are incredibly simple but powerful. Tip 1: Build your web page around a keyword that has both of these characteristics: global monthly searches of 3,000 or more (the higher the better) and fewer than 80,000 competing pages on Google (the fewer the better). Any keyword producing fewer than 3,000 searches monthly will not produce enough daily traffic to worry about so filter keywords that do not meet that criteria. 4,000 is better than 3,000; 10,000+ is even better, and so on. Use a free research tool like the Google Adwords Keyword Tool to find keywords satisfying or exceeding the 3,000 searches/month element. Then, and this is very important, select that keyword only if it meets the second criteria: fewer than 80,000 competing web pages for the exact same keyword. This is really easily done. Simply go to the Google browser (not Bing, Yahoo, or Ask), put the keyword between quotation marks, and click. You will immediately see the number of competing pages. Use 80,000 as the ceiling but remember that for this element, the lower the better. Tip 2: If the keyword has good traffic but the number of competing web pages is too high, make a little change and search again. Sometimes the addition of a single letter (from singular to plural) or a single word will get you below the 80,000 magic number. Here is a concrete example. Suppose you are writing a page about how to build a blog. Using Google Adwords Keyword Tool you see the keyword blog software has 60,500 global monthly searches. Wonderful! Lots of searches. But, when you take that keyword, put it between quotation marks ("blog software") and search it on Google's browser, you find over 10,000,000 competing pages. Impossible to compete? Not at all. Change the search to "blog software recommendations" and voila!, there are only about 25,000 competing pages. Get to the Top of Google: Secret 2 Once you have designed your web page around a keyword that has good traffic and not a lot of competing pages, you are ready to begin promoting your website for those all important backlinks. The secret is to build backlinks to each webpage, one at a time, using this strategy: 1. Write articles. Submit articles relevant to each web page to free article directories. Use technology to create unique versions and post to dozens, if not more article directory websites and be sure to put in two backlinks, one to the homepage and the other to the page being promoted, with appropriate keyword anchor text. Automate this process for efficiency. 2. Bookmark each new web page to social network sites using free, automated software that posts the URL of that web page. 3. Contribute quality blog posts and comments to relevant, high Google Page Rank blogs. 4. Submit your home page URL to hundreds, or more, free website directories with cheap automated software 99% of your competitors have no clue about website promotion. Their ignorance is to your advantage. So work smart, apply the secret techniques, and get to the top of Google. Are you seriously interested in profiting on the web with Google Adwords?
