3 Ways to boost your Web Site Rankings

There are literally thousands of ways that you can promote your home based business, and you will see how by making a few minor changes on your site will have a huge impact on your traffic, do these 3 simple tips and you will be amazed at the results.

Tip 1 - Look at your Site Map.

Go to Google and do a search of your site like this,

Site:yourdomain.com

In fact while you are doing that that, check Yahoo, MSN etc, it will show you how your site will look ,

Now look at the titles on your home based business site, start with the most important pages, do they look interesting or not, if they are bland, rewrite them.

A better option is to write a few of you page titles down, now go and enter that some phrase into google and have a look at the top 10 titles.

Which Titles catch your eye and tempt you to click? Some Titles are really awful, some are just a long list of keywords , are these titles better than yours, or can you improve on some of the titles that are on your page. Keep in mind that good titles are written for search engines and humans.

This step is very important especially if you have an established home based business site, because you more than likely wrote your page titles and meta descriptions years ago

Tip 2 Organic SEO
Search engines are improving all the time and they are gradually getting better at sifting out low quality home based business websites and ranking them poorly, so if you want to rank high then build quality websites which contain genuinely useful material that other people want to link to,

If you want to improve your search engine optimisation, then do the following,

1.You need to make it easy for a search engine to figure out the topic of your page.

2.Find Appropriate keywords or key phrases and use them in the title, in the page heading, in the introduction, throughout the article,etc.

3.Use key phrases in your file names, like keyword 1, keyword2.html etc.

4.Use word variations and synonyms throughout your page.

5.When linking to your pages, use appropriate keywords in the anchor text. Vary the anchor text in your page.

If you want more advice on SEO optimisation, just do a search in Google, you will find thousands of articles on this subject

Tip 3 - Submit to main S.E. directories

The more high quality links that you have pointing to your site, the more impressed the search engines will be and the higher your home based business web site will be ranked.
Before you submit your site to a directory make sure that you read the submission rules carefully at each site. This will be time consuming, but it will increase you’re your sites chances of getting listed.
If you start adding hundreds of links on a daily basis, the search engines could treat your site as a spam site and bar your site.

Conclusion

Hi Alan

Thanks for visiting my blog and your nice comment. I still think link building is one of the most important factors i.e. off-page seo. It's a catch 22. You build links, link popularity before you can see organic traffic grow. It's free but a lot of your time and effort goes into it to make this happen.
