As soon as you launch your website, first question comes to your mind is, "How
to bring traffic to this website? " , isn't it?
Everybody wants his/her website to be coming on first page on all search
engines. This is possible for sure if you are the only one providing the
services you are offering on your website.
Lets talk about how to secure guaranteed page one ranking on all search engines.
Step 1: Think of a business which is unique OR there should not
be more than 10* companies offering the same service/product on internet.
Example: You are into selling leisure tr ip to middle income groups and want to
sell cheap trips to Mars for USD 9,999 per person only.
*We are saying 10 because most of the search engines present 10 results on page
one. So if there are more than 10 players in your industry - there is no
guarantee that you will be definitely on page one of the search engines.
Step 2: Think of the target keywords for this business. It
would be something like following examples:
- "buy trip to mars for cheap"
- "leisure trip to mars for cheap"
- "fun trip to mars for cheap"
- "family trip to mars for cheap"
- "affordable trip to mars"
- "affordable leisure trip to mars"
- "affordable leisure trip to mars"
- "enjoy trip to mars for cheap"
- "cheap tickets to mars"
- "affordable tickets for trip to mars"
***Try searching on google for any of the above listed keywords you will reach

Step 3: Now you have to submit your website to all those search
engines where you wish your visitors to come from.
Step 4: Make sure your website is search engine friendly so
that search engines do respect you as a serious player in the industry else
search engines might not like your website and don't rank it among the leaders.
How optimized your website is proves your dedication and sincerity towards your
business and your customers. Even search engines are intel l igent enough to
understand who are serious players and who are just fooling around. If you
follow all the above steps, we are sure you can get your website up on the page
one of any search engine in the world.
Keep reading if you are not selling something unique and there are more than 10
companies offering same services/products on internet.
"Doing business on internet is very interesting and like video game where you
have to fight with endless number of enemies and YOU CAN NOT PAUSE THE GAME."
To be successful on internet, make sure your website is highly search engine
optimized so that you can keep your marketing costs low and sell your
products/services at comparatively cheaper prices because your competitors are
spending a lot on buying traffic for their website.

OPTIMIZATION .

What is Search Engine Optimization?
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or
quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" or un-paid
("organic" or "algorithmic") search results as opposed to search engine
marketing (SEM) which deals with paid inclusion. Source: http: /
/en.wikipedia.org/wiki /Search_engine_optimization
WHY SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION?
Getting your website live is not just enough, people should be able to reach
your website by typing your company name or by typing the services/products
offered by you. For search engines to display your website in the search results
for relevant keywords, its foremost important that your website should be
submitted to that search engine.
Imagine a situation you got a very nice website designed for USD 20,000 but that
is not search engine optimized. You sell over 50,000 electronic products over
that online shop but your website does not come up on search results on
google.com or bing.com or yahoo.com when people are looking for websites where
they can buy those products which are also being offered on your website.
Immediately make sure your website is submitted to all those search engines and
meets the requirements of a very well search engine optimized website. As
described in the definition of Search Engine Optimization - primary objective
behind SEO is to improve the volume of traffic to your website from search
engines via organic and unpaid methods. Therefore to keep your advertising costs
low its highly recommended that your website should be well optimized for search
engines. Above all, you wanted your website designed and made live to public so
that they can reach you when they are looking for the service/products you are
offering.
What all objects are included in the arena of Search Engine Optimization?
- Title Tag Optimization
- Meta Tag Optimization
- Keyword Tag Optimization
- H1, H2, H3 optimization
- URL relevance vis a vis page content
- Keywords density on each page
- Images alt tag optimization
- W3C Validations
- Clean HTML code preferably Div based HTML structured pages

within the website
White Hat SEO vs Black Hat SEO
- White Hat SEO: includes designing and developing the website primarily for human
users, not for search engines and then making that content easily accessible to
the spiders instead of manipulat ing or playing tr icks with the exposed search
engine ranking algori thms.
- Black Hat SEO: includes designing and developing the websites primari ly for
search engines while exploit ing the search engine ranking algori thms. For
Example:
- hidden text either by using deceptive colors or by invisible DIV or positioned
off the screen
- keywords stuffing in Title Tag, Description Tag and H1, H2 Tags
- stuffing keywords within file names
- cloaking - method employed to show dif ferent content to human visitors and
search engine spiders
- link farming etc
After going through the fundamentals of SEO, I am sure you have earned a
reasonable amount of insight into the concept of Search Engine Optimization.
To make sure your website, no matter how competitive industry you work into,
comes on page one of search engines - you have to follow the following steps or
hire a professional SEO/Web Design Company company to take care of following
imperatives for you.
Use keyword suggestion tools like the one offered by google or wordtracker to
find less competitive keywords. It makes better business sense to bring in 100
visitors per day by targeting less competitive keywords/phrases than to win only
10 visitors per day by targeting only highly competitive keywords.
- Make sure your website is highly optimized for the relevant and target keywords
- Target one set of related keywords/phrases per page
- Keep on analyzing your website performance for the target keywords/phrases and
do the required revisions into the page content if satisfactory results are not
achieved or you see that results can be improved.
- Hire professional SEO company to take care of Link Building, Social Media
Bookmarking, Article Submission, and Directory Submission for you.
- Build child websites to promote the parent websites, be sure that child websites
contain unique and relevant content, and are linking to parent website using the
relevant keywords in the link text.
- Give reasons to bloggers to comment about your company offerings/products on
blogs, discussion forums, social networking websites and bookmarking websites
thereby they are giving you quality back links. I.e. When apple launched ipad -
they get more than bil l ion dollar advertisements online via news portals, news
channels, bloggers, discussion forums, electronic product experts, mobile device
experts etc. If your company can launch offers which are aimed at benefi t ing
customers by giving them some useful product at very reasonable price people
like to spread the words on their own by word of mouth (tradit ional way) and by
blogging/sharing with fr iends online (electronic way).
