Tip number two is a really smart idea that can put money in the bank. Go for Double Ranking of your keyword. If you do a search for your keywords, without quotation marks (” “), you may find that you have at least two pages in the top two or three pages of the SERP’s ( Search Engine Result Pages). You can use this to your advantage. What you should be doing is to optimize the pages for the same keywords, then place reciprocal links on them.

Conversion Analysis – Of course, with any business, you are in it to make money. While it is okay and natural to lose money on some of your SEO strategies, it is also important that you do not lose money on a long term basis. You must have a positive Return on Investment, and you must be implementing procedures that will create a positive ROI. Web analytics is a great tool to help you determine which SEO strategies work and which ones do not. Remember that just because something works for someone else, it may not work for you. Vice versa, a strategy that works for you, may not work for someone else. The key here is to test every strategy first and see where it takes you!

The Search Engines primary job is to bring the most RELEVANT results (websites, videos, articles etc.) to the consumer or person doing the search based on the search term they type in. For example: If you were to Search for “Snake Poison Antidote” on Google, Pinterest you would be less than pleased and understandably angry if it pulled up websites on snakeskin handbags and boots. You get the idea.

Even paid web traffic from ads will cost you less with an optimized website because the search engines will reward you for playing by their rules…And simply the one theme that governs the rules of the search engines is to protect the consumer.

Write articles about your subject and submit them to the SEO friendly article directories like Ezine, GoArticles etc. They are really a great source to build your link popularity. If your article is great informative, then many of the webmasters will use that article and link back to your site.

There isn’t a magical formula; at least not one that’s evergreen so it’s important to stay current on SEO news. Dig deep to find information and read everything you can. You’ll find conflicting information at times but knowledge is power so absorb as much SEO news as you can.

Some experts estimate that as many as 100,000 new websites go live every day That’s 36,500,000 new websites a year! And, I venture to say that that’s a conservative estimate. So following are three basic SEO tips that every freelance writer can start using immediately to increase website traffic.

The additional benefit is: now instead of simply having one (optimized) listing in the search engine, you end up with SEVERAL, many of them on the first page! None of them is even your site, but all of them are pages that lead people TO your website!
