Back to the Home Based Business Journey! Part 2

The other day I was talking about getting my site indexed and getting started with promoting it. Here are a few things I have read and done to promote my site: written an article; I'm not a writer, so I am looking for a software that can help me with that, plus ones that can help me submit them. I have posted in a few forums, I laugh about it now, but the first time I forgot to put my site address at the end of my post!

Site SEO is a place that is something we really need to look at. There are so many aspects to SEO. From using your most important keyword in your domain name to building one-way links and finding who your competition is linked to and trying to get a text link there too. Plus so much more. I didn't know about using a keyword in my domain, but I tried to pick one that was easy to remember.

Remember trying to optimize your site is a trial and error thing; change something and test it, make a change again etc.

Some basics I have learned from reading are:
Good strong keywords, using your most popular one in your domain, meta description and in the meta tag. Use the H1 and H2 tags. Don't over populate your page with keywords. Keep keyword density between 3 and 6 percent.
With images make sure to use the ALT tag and use a keyword there.
Try not to use stop words in your title etc. Stop words are: and, on, with etc.
Build backlinks from other sites in the form of a text link example: best diet book.
I have tried to get one way links by adding my site to open directories ones that have a Google PR of 4 or higher.



There are all kinds of site out there to find info about SEO. There are three newsletter that I like. One comes from Brad Fallen, the next comes from Brad Callen and the last is AbotDirectory.com just hit free links in my links area.

Another thing you need to do is offer a newsletter, because it's all in the list. This keeps you in contact with people and it will bring them back to your site over and over. Most important if you are offering products.

Now if you want to take a look at my first attempt go to Bob's Info World. Please leave me a comment tell me what you think! Oh and if you are wondering; no I haven't made anything from the site. Still not getting the traffic.

Good Luck
