Search engine marketing - menus

DIY Search engine optimisation

Marketing comes in many forms, as explained above fax marketing is cost effective and one of the least used strategies, don’t let everyone know this or all will be adopting the method! Another area that is often seen as black art is search engine optimisation also known as SEO. Most small companies cannot afford to employ SEO companies to conduct their internet marketing due to the initial and monthly costs. You may think this is a black art that is best left to the pros? After reading this introduction and the other articles within my site you will soon realise that its not a difficult process only time consuming.

SEO facts in laymans terms

1. Secrets of SEO are based on what the search engine algorithms require to place your site high for a key phrase
2. You must have your key phrase within your meta tags, alt image tags and within the headlines and main text of your web page in the right density.
3. Once you have a site that conforms with Google guidelines then it is ready to promote.
4. Promotion comes in many forms including submission to search engines and gaining links through various means.

5. Links are amongst the most important factor, if for example you have submitted your website to a few hundred directories and swapped links with web sites of a similar content and carry on gaining links over a period of time your position in Google will increase until you gain a top 10 position i.e. on page one. It therefore stands to reason that you will get more custom, the whole process will not happen overnight but costs nothing but a little bit of time and effort on a bi-daily basis.
