Hi Margaret
Great post for beginners, thanks for sharing the info
There are tons of ways that you can do to get those inbound links. Some forums allow links in your signature. Just avoid those forums that have a lot of ‘em spammers around. Another technique would be blog commenting. Not only are they helpful in building inbound links, but they’re also a big help in building relationships with the other people working on the same niche as you.

It’s surprising these days how many people throw up a website without any thought about how they’re going to get traffic.

You’re right, article marketing is the best way to market your site online and be able to build presence on it. It’s not easy to write article, research is needed. You might wanna add blog commenting, it’s the fastest way to get backlinks but ensure to add up in the conversation.

The best thing about SEO is that it’s simply common sense. Great SEO means you need to make both users and search engines happy. We’re fast entering into a new era of ‘search socialization’. Now SEO co-exists with social. Definitely, utilizing the best SEO practices can help your website rank at the top of search engines. But you can never improve your SEO unless you integrate both SEO and social media.
The most important part of SEO is targeting the right kind of keywords. Selecting the right keywords doesn’t only attract quality traffic, but it also increases the rate of conversion on your site.
The article makes some good points about SEO. Thanks, Margaret!

I leave a response each time I appreciate a post on a website or if I have something to valuable to contribute to the discussion. Usually it’s a result of the sincerness displayed in the post I read. And on this article Increase Your Website’s Visibility with SEO. I was actually excited enough to drop a commenta response
I actually do have some questions for you if it’s allright. Could it be just me or do some of these remarks come across like they are left by brain dead folks? 
And, if you are posting at additional sites, I’d like to follow anything fresh you have to post. Could you make a list the complete urls of your shared pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
Anyone who has a website needs to know at least rudimentary SEO – especially for on-page optimisation, because if it isn’t optimised from the start and you add lots of content over time, it can be a pain to go back and start from scratch. I have seen professionally designed websites that weren’t optimised at all!
I like this tips I find that SEO is unavoidably necessary but I also can appreciate those offline tactics as well, especially if they tie in with online strategy.
I think the most important aspect of Seo is that you need to benchmark, test and verify the results. Most people probably don’t know how helpful Seo can be for their business, and many don’t realize how effective it is. Without a way of measuring the success of social media, they are blindly using that form of communication without realizing the effect it has with their customers.

Thanks for posting this, Margaret. You have explained SEO and its strategies very well. I’m gonna share this article with my friends who are just starting off with their websites. I was not much of an internet enthusiast before but when I learned about SEO, my perception about the Internet has totally changed.
Definitely, it’s real tough to increase your site’s visibility without utilizing SEO. However, one should also be quite well informed of how SEO is evolving. When it comes to inbound linking, I think mass-submitting to directories (that people don’t use actually) won’t help. At the same, you can’t manipulate the anchor text. Search engines are getting smarter, and they now understand people and relationships as well.
SEO and social media are now intrinsically intertwined. You can’t enjoy great SEO benefits unless you are ready to get social.
Thanks.

Informative post here Margret. definatly agree SEO should play a huge role in promoting your website as its free traffic at the end of the day which is great for us in the industry.
Improving your sites visibility is definitely important and with the right SEO techniques you can get as much website visibility as you want. Posting articles to different sites is my favorite SEO technique because you get more visibility from the article itslef and you also get a link to help your SEO goals.
Nice overview. For any beginners reading this, make sure you vary that anchor text.
Too many beginners put the same text over and over again and never vary from what their keyword tool told them. Google’s always picks up on that.

I like to think of SEO like a chain. There are several things you must do to optimize your site. First, get the best content and have our site looking sharp. Then, there is social media to give you credibility. Then there are the articles and the links. If you neglect one, and your competition does it; you are likely to be marked behind your competitor. If you are behind 10 (the number varies some–it can be more or less than 10), you will not be on the first page. The first page is where most of the action is. But, you might get some visitors from the next few pages. After that, you are no where.

I’ve read latest articles on how to effectively work on SEO. Article marketing is the most advisable to do, it promises to build reliable backlinks to your site and be able to drive traffic. The only problem is that,I’m not a good writer. I find it hard to generate good content but I’m working it all out.

SEO is THE new approach to online marketing and if it hasn’t already it will surely emerge as the go-to strategy for new business ventures, particularly when it comes to online visibility, as you pointed out so eloquently, Margaret. I especially like your point of using services like Ezine to increase your visibility.
Thanks for that insightful post.
I believe Seo is still essential to help the visibility of our site to search engine. Many company

I think the first thing to do after doing our keyword research is On Page optimization. Link building or Off Page optimization follows. While SEO is free, it consumes a lot of time. But if you want your business to boom for long term, SEO is not an option but is a must.
A website is dead without SEO. That’s a fact indeed.
As for the article marketing I don’t think it’s as important in these days because of some concerns raise by article submission sites, Ezine perhaps.

Great post ahead, this is a good guide to all beginners in doing SEO. I learn a lot here and thanks a lot for sharing this.
You must pay attention to the basics of onpage and offpage SEO techniques. Your website’s content (as well as structure) must be user-friendly, and not only search friendly.
Well, As i think and as you said, on going link building is the best way to get my blog up on the SERP? So I am making links to most of my posts by guest posting, social bookmarking and blog commenting. What would you think? Since I am a newbie, I have a lot to learn. Will my methods work? Can I get a good PR from PR updates if I have large number of backlinks?
Please reply.
Good luck.

Thank you very much for your tips! As for me as a beginner, it is very important to start the things right! Again, thanks!
Nice article Margaret. I’ve tried to start a simple film blog but I never knew how much SEO was required for readership. This was very useful. Thank you.
SEO is incredibly important, because if your web site doesn’t show up on page one of Google for targeted keyword phrases, then you’re just going to get a smattering of organic search engine traffic. It pays to know and implement the basics.

Every time Google Update Panda working experience as an SEO changes. Now Link wheel not working, you have to compromise with your ads revenue because lots of advertisement is penalized by google, Span articles more than 30% spinned are not good (best way write unique article)
Really today SEO work is very hard and very indeed.
SEO is so very important in helping get your content noticed. A great blogger pays attention to their readers and SEO, not just on content or money making.
Both Google+ and Facebook can be very helpful in promoting your business, you just need to use it in a proper way. That way you can maximize their uses and will not be banned in using these social medias.
The importance of SEO has been increasing at an astonishing rate. There is a huge market for outsourcing if you are serious about raising the traffic to your site. This might be something to look into. Really enjoyed this topic!
