YAY my website is on 1st page of Google search

Wouldn’t you like to be the family business owner on top of your competitors, celebrating this seo marketing success? 

*YAY* my website is at the top of Google search results and I am getting huge amounts of potential customers visiting my website!

Of course you would and I would like to give you some information today to show you how you can do some seo marketing yourself.

Here is some SEO advice to suit your search engine marketing strategy for your family business.

Before doing any seo marketing you need to understand what it is your customers are searching for when they find your website.

How do you do this? You need to check the statistics on your website to look at the keywords and phrases being used to find your business. You do this from the backend using the cpanel access and the web analytics tools available on your dashboard.

Keeping in mind that unless users know the name of your business or your products they will not find you in the sea of potential competitors unless you put yourself in front of them. You need to assess whether the keywords or phrases you already know about are useful to potential customers who don’t already know about your business products and services. If they are, then you start making a short list of keywords or phrases that get the best results and the most hits on your website.

Now you need to do some research to find out what Google searches are being conducted. Of course, Google isn’t the only option but one step at a time is best. Using some free tools available on the internet such as Google Keyword Tool you can type in the keywords you shortlisted to see how many searches are conducted in your area. This tool is easy to use and you can tweek as you go along to get more accurate results.

Tick the [exact match] option on the left navigation to show results that include exactly what you have included in your shortlist.

Results are displayed in the lower pane, the competition shows the ads that are listed against those keywords, with high being heaps and low being none or minimal. Sometimes you may find the perfect keyword with low competition and high searches, if that happens you are on to a winner.

Following that research you can document the best quality keywords for your website and then start to work on an seo marketing strategy to get better ranking and more traffic to your website.

Hope this article helped you to understand search engine marketing a little better, I would be happy to offer my seo services to you as a ‘done for you’ service or provide one-on-one or group ‘seo training’ in a live environment. There is so much to learn, and it is better to learn the theory as well as the practical steps.

New Keyword Winner – an SEO plugin for WordPress – Targets blog keywords to help improve your SEO ranking

What looks different with this keyword tool is that it does not promise to drive thousands of visitors to your site, that’s a good thing because the developer is not promising something it can’t deliver, but it is likely to do just that. Although you do have to do a little work to support it, it seems very easy to use and looks like a very exciting plugin to drive traffic to your blog(s).

Keyword Winner is a paid plugin for your blog(s) that helps you zoom in on your preferred target market by setting up your blog posts and pages to reach that target market. When you start a page or post you just click on the button to find the most suitable keywords for you. Watch the video (enable audio) to see for yourself. I think you will be pleasantly surprised, because the developer actually shows you what it does! I think it is really cool. If you have multiple blogs you can buy an unlimited licence, which I think is a fantastic idea.

I am currently reviewing this tool, at first glance it could be very effective. If you found this page it has worked  Keep an eye out for this page for the results I have noticed over the next 4 weeks of my Keyword Winner review. See Keyword Winner review below.

My Keyword Winner Review

At first glance (more…)

I thought I would try something new this week, hopefully I will have the time to spend on reviewing this product and give you a true and honest idea whether it really works.

The new traffic (bringing in leads) tool is called Free Mass Traffic. Of course the product isn’t free but it supposedly generates tonnes of free traffic to any chosen site, with examples of millions of unique visitors in a week for one website.

Today, I bought the software and have given myself 30 days to review Free Mass Traffic and decide if it works.  The owner, Chris, says it should pay off very quickly. Within 7 days in fact, but we will see if that actually is the case. Time will tell.

I have downloaded all the installation and training videos and PDF files and am ready to go. So keep an eye out for this page, because I am going to come back and update it regularly with my frustrations and hopefully exciting news of making some significant $$$ without working my butt off

Review

Ok, so I have done my review on Free Mass Traffic and here is my verdict.

If you don’t already (more…)

I came across another interesting article today on Hubspot and thought I would share it with you. Now this comes pretty natural to me because I have worked for internet development and software engineering companies, so I have known these tricks for years, however if you have problems finding what you are after in the search engines or would like more specific search results, then read on.

This article describes briefly terms you may or may not have already heard about and will give you some quick tips to finding information that is useful and accurate on the search engines (well of course that depends on the quality of the content but we have no control over that)

Now, I know this article is a little old and there are probably newer and more comprehensive articles out there, but I believe it will still help you a lot . Read it

Understanding the magic of metadata

Do you find search engine optimization (SEO) daunting, here is some SEO definitions to help you?

I read this article on Hubspot and thought I would share it with you. It offers great advice to small business managers and owners on the value of meta data on your website and a little about what it all means. Of course there is a LOT more too it, but it will get you started.

After you have read it, I would love you to post your comments on this page. If you need more advice I would be happy to help, just email me.

Discover how to get top search results using SEO strategies

About 3 years ago I started to really get into seo training. I created some blogs and websites and through trial and error I now have the skills to create a website and list it on the 1st page of Google and other search engines, within 1 day.

This alone drives traffic to my websites, where I provide free business advice on a number of topics including continual improvement, marketing, quality assurance, performance, search engine optimization (SEO), and more.

Seeing your website listed on Google's first page - priceless!

Stop wondering how the heck ‘SEO’ can help you and your business and find out now?

Ranking on Google has helped me to gain credibility, with a leading American internet radio company inviting me to host my own radio show for small business (more than 1.6m followers per month); I have been listed as a women to look out for on ‘The Marketing to Women Initiative’ partner network; and I have received an offer to publish my articles on some leading business websites that have over 200,000 followers.

For me, that is so exciting because I love it (this picture really does depict my reaction when I see my sites up the list on the 1st page) and it is my dream to teach women in business how to use the internet to gain credibility and sell their products and/or services.

For you, you should be excited too, because I am going to (more…)
