Often people think it is way too complex to optimize your
web site for search engines. Now this is actually much
simpler than what you think. Using seo is really easy when
you follow a few basic principles. People really make it
far more complicated than what it actually is. Now this is
based on my own experience from what has worked for me. I
used to subscribe to search engine optimization services to
get insider information as to how the search engines were
ranking web sites. However with change in algorithms on a
frequent basis it becomes nearly impossible to implement
these strategies as most of the time you end up wasting a
lot of time. By following the basic principles that I
recommend I was able to optimize a large web site and
average twenty seven thousand visitors a month from free
search engine traffic.

The most important factor in creating good search engine
rankings is creating good quality inbound links. This
accounts for almost ninety percent of your search engine
rankings. You need to generate inbound links with the
anchor text of the keywords that you are targeting in them.
To generate good inbound links you need to build a web site
with high quality content so that people will automatically
link to it. You need to list your web site in all the major
directories which target your niche. You also need to swap
links with web sites related to the same niche as what you
are in. Web 2 can also be used to generate links by listing
your web site on popular social bookmarking and story web
sites.

Off page factors are really quite simple. In a nutshell you
need to have the keywords that you are targeting in the
title. You also need to include it in the header tags and
two to five percent density in the body. Additional things
which you can do that have a lesser impact is to include
the keywords in meta tags, image tags, comment tags and in
bold tags.

Once you follow these basic search engine seo strategies
you can drive thousands of visitors to your web site a
month without paying a dime for advertising. Also these
leads will be highly targeted as they are searching for
information concerning your specific topic and likely to
convert into paying customers.
