Niche Site Builder and SEO
Using a niche site builder, you can essentially create search engine friendly pages which means your pages and content are ready for the search engines and are formatted correctly which has to be done if you want to get traffic from the major search engines.
Depending on how big your market is, using a niche site builder with original good quality content can help you dramatically in gaining exposure from the search engines and getting the traffic you need for your website to be successful.
Remember, without traffic, your website is nothing but you need quality traffic that you can convert into buyers and for a beginner this is not such an easy task so, by using a niche site builder you can create a website that is well formatted and this leaves you more time to work on your off page seo, IE link building.
There are plenty of niche site builder programs out there that will do everything you require to create a well formatted website and there are a couple you can download for to try that will do just fine until you are ready to progress onto buying a program.
Something else you need to do before you start working on your new website is keyword research. This is vital so you can narrow down tighter markets that has less competition but have a good amount of traffic, you can then build your website around these keywords which will give you a better chance of delivering a product that someone is looking for.
If you are just starting out, I would recommend the cb niche builder program. It is simple and easy to use and can help you build clickbank websites or landing pages in a matter of minutes and it comes with video tutorials that explain how to use the software.
Don’t forget once you have built your website, got it indexed with the search engines you need to start building links to get those niche sites ranking high in the search engines and you can use methods such as article marketing, social bookmarking and web 2.0 properties to promote your offer and boost your link popularity.
Article marketing is one of my favourite methods because it is free and with non competitive markets, you can obtain great rankings in a very short space of time and does not require a lot of work to get things moving.
Exploring Links for Content Development
If content is king on the internet than content development is a king maker since clearly you can not have one without the other. The effectiveness of circulating quality content online for promotional and branding purposes is unquestioned. This strategy is based upon publishing content that people will find useful. By providing a link within the content back to a website of the authors choosing it is a means in which to attract online traffic. A slight and occasional drawback to this method however can be found in the development stages of this strategy.
Continually creating content is perhaps the most challenging aspect of this particular online marketing strategy. To meet this challenge here are 5 suggestions you can use to help locate and develop good quality content for your online needs.
Blog Comments
Almost every comment left on your blog will also contain a link to some other site and in most cases these sites have information relative to your interests. Following these links and links left on other sites as well can keep out very busy and will likely turn up valuable information.
Twitter
Twitter users often link to sites or articles that can be a source of news and information for you. You can also subscribe to Twitter feeds for specific websites which allows you to receive and view content quickly.
Google Searches
By selecting a topic and conducting a search you can spend hours going through the results and following the links. You can also use the Google ‘suggest’ search that will offer you ‘alternative’ topics as you type in yours. Pursuing these ‘suggested’ search topics will take you in directions you may not have formally considered uncovering information you may not have found otherwise.
Email
Get on a few mailing lists of people who have interest similar to yours and wait for their mail to pour in. Quite often their messages will contain links to information relevant to what you may need.
Google Alerts
Enter in a topic of interest to you and Google will send you updates related to your request. Google alerts is a fantastic source of content and may even be hard to keep up with which is not a bad problem to have if content is what you need.
Content development is the core of any strategy that circulates information online for promotional or branding purposes. As effective as this particular online marketing strategy can be creating content can be rather challenging at times. The 3 suggestions we discussed above can provide a significant supply of fresh information that you can develop for your needs. This should enable you to easily continue publishing content that both you and readers can benefit from.
Get Higher Search Rankings With Dmoz Listings
Anyone who knows anything about SEO would be trying to get higher search rankings by getting back links from authority sites. There are many ways to determine whether a website is an authority site or not. One of the easiest (and most common) ways is to depend on Page Rank. The higher the rank, the more valuable the link.
For some, getting links from an external site can be problematic. After all, someone else owns the site. So why would the other party want to link to other websites?
Fortunately, web directories exist for this sole purpose – to organize and list URLs. Before the time of the search engines, the only way a web visitor can locate a resource on the Internet is through web directories. Today, even though web visitors rely on search engines to give them the results they needed, many well established directories are still quite popular.
DMOZ is one such example. DMOZ is short for Directory Mozilla. It is an open directory project that relies heavily on volunteer editors to approve links. Editors are recruited to review specific categories. Due to the popularity of DMOZ, a URL submission can sometimes take months to approve. If you would like faster approval, be sure to engage professional SEO companies to submit on your behalf.
Here are three good reasons as to why you should submit your sites to DMOZ.
Reason 1: High page rank.
Reason 2: Well organized web directory.
Reason 3: Higher search rankings.
Reason 1: High page rank.
If you visit the homepage of DMOZ, you will notice that it has a high Page Rank. This is Google’s way of saying that this is a trusted website. Thousands of other websites link to this directory over the years. That is why the Page Rank is very stable.
Reason 2: Well organized web directory.
When your URL has been approved, your website will appear next to other similar sites. That means your site is only listed on a page that is relevant to your theme. You don’t just want links, you want highly relevant links. And a well organized web directory can give you just that.
When submitting your URL, make sure you submit to the most specific category. Don’t just submit to the parent category. Doing so will increase your chances of getting approved. If you are unsure of which category to submit to, make a quick search for other relevant sites. Then note the categories that these websites have been listed in. That will give you a pretty good idea of where to submit your URL.
Reason 3: Higher search rankings.
Of course, if you manage to get your submission approved, you will enjoy the benefits of higher search rankings. High search rankings means that you will start receiving more targeted traffic from the search engines on a daily basis.
In sum:
1) Getting approved by DMOZ may be difficult, unless you depend on the professionals.
2) Don’t just get a back link – get listed on a page with relevant content.
3) A DMOZ listing can help improve search rankings. That will increase the overall value of your website.
