.: How I Use Articles to Boost My Search Engine Rankings

Category:Home / Internet Marketing / Search Engine Optimization
We’ve all heard it before. You’ve probably done it. Submit articles and you will get search engine rankings. Does it work?
Sometimes it is hard to know if something works, if you are doing many things that can impact your results. For example, on my first web site, I did everything. I submitted my site to search engines, I posted to forums, I submitted articles, I ran pay-per-click ads (which, incidentally, I believe boosts your linking power), and just about anything else to get traffic. And that site very shortly made it to number one for a very targeted keyword and in the top ten for others.
My next site was a joint venture , and the ONLY search engine work I have done is a few search engine submissions and a lot of articles. And that site is in the top ten for several phrases, on both the top search engines.
I have recently begun a new project, where the ONLY method of search engine work I am doing is writing articles. Folks, my new site was indexed by Google in 3 days! It was indexed in Yahoo a few days later, and is currently climbing the chart for one targeted phrase.
So what do I do?
1) I write articles. It takes discipline. Sometimes I write for a couple of hours. And when you are writing many topics it is hard to keep coming up with fresh information. And you want to keep to the basics too. So you must have the discipline to just keep doing it.
2) I submit my articles primarily to sites that have RSS feeds. My personal opinion is that if a lot of web sites are subscribed to get my article, then it will spread faster.
3) I include my link at the end of each article (I know you don’t need that info , but just in case )
4) I track the responses from article directory to directory. I use identifying URLs in my bio, so that I can see which directories are creating the most traffic for me.
5) This is a no-brainer, but I think it is overlooked: If you are just writing for the links, you can write lousily, I guess. But if you want to get clicks (and I do get a lot of clicks) you must write informatively and with passion. If you are going to put your name on it, it might as well be something you are proud of.
OK, that’s how I do it. Give it a try. And don’t just submit one. Submit 20 or 40 or 60. Take massive action and get massive results.

1). SEO Contests: Good or Bad?
As a webmaster you probably already know what a SEO Contest is or you surely came across some of them or even participated in. Some of the major SEO contests organized are the v7ndotcom elursrebmem (by v7n.com), Ambachdotcom, Carcasherdotcom, and more recently the Cpayscom2 Online Casino where the winner gets $10,000 for ranking number one on MSN. Now the big question is whether it is good or bad to organize SEO Contests.
2). High Paying Lateral Keywords
If you run AdSense on your site you know that some words pay more than others, much more in fact. More than likely you have also learned that terms like "structured settlements" and "mesothelioma" can produce incredibly high PPC revenue, if they show up on your site at all. Unfortunately hundreds of thousands of other webmasters are "on" to this practice judging by the number of sites created regularly to capitalize on the phenomenom.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has become an essential weapon in the arsenal of every online business. Unfortunately, for most business owners and marketing managers (and even many webmasters), it's also somewhat of an enigma. This is partly due to the fact that it's such a new and rapidly changing field, and partly due to the fact that SEO practitioners tend to speak in a language all of their own which, without translation, is virtually impenetrable to the layperson.
5). Creating Sitemaps For Google, MSN AND Yahoo! - The Easy Way
If you own or maintain a website or intend to own one, wouldn’t it be great if you get frequent visitors who find satisfaction in getting exactly the information they need from your page?
While that satisfaction largely depends on the contents of your website, how you get to be accessed by website users is the most critical factor of website development.
6). How to Make a Sitemap For Your Website In Five Steps.
A website's sitemap can be compared to the table of contents of a book. The sitemap is important because it guides visitors to the parts of the website in which they are interested. The sitemap allows surfers to reach their destination without wasting time.
Sitemaps are also important from the point of view of search engines. If the search engine finds a sitemap it is much more likely that your page will be fully visited (spidered) and indexed; allowing web surfers to find your pages in their searches.
7). 301 Redirect - The SEO way to rename or move files or folders

What is page redirection and why would you want to use it?
Let’s say you rename a page on your website, for whatever reason. Perhaps you decided to revamp your entire naming convention, perhaps you decided to restructure your site and need to move pages into different folders, or you just realized that you are missing valuable keywords.
