10 Steps To Google Heaven

Every website owner wants to appear on the front page of Google, so here’s a handy ten step guide to achieving Listing Nirvana:

1) Be Owner of your Domain – none of this freebie rubbish. If you want a decent listing, you need to be hosted on a proper server with a proper domain name. The most it will cost you is £100 a year, so get rid of that freebie ISP web space now, OK?

2) Redirection? Indirection – not only do redirects and splash pages annoy your visitors, but they annoy the search engines too. At best they’ll make the robot spider ignore you, at worst, they’ll get you banned. GET RID OF THEM.

3) Text, Text, Text. Yes, your fully Flashed up site, or your fantastic front page graphic looks great. Really great. Just a shame no-one is going to see it, don’t you think? Google can’t index it properly, so what’s the point? Your pages need text, so get writing.

4) Great navigation – we all know that men don’t like to ask for directions, right? Then I’m guessing Google is a guy, because neither does he. Help the little guy out by making sure that your navigation is clear and obvious, and there are no scary dead ends (he’s not much good at 3 point turns, either)

5) Titles are King - just like those poor people that buy a Lordship, each page of your site is yearning for a title. And not just any title, oh no. Does the front page of your site actually WANT to be called “Home Page”? Of course not!! He wants to be called something grand and important, and above all, useful. So think about the titles of each of your pages – they’re more important than you think.

6) META is Better – OK, some people say that META tags are old news and don’t count anymore. Well, I’m saying that they’re wrong. So there. Include a META description and keywords tag in every page of your site. Why? Please, just trust me on this one.

7) Be Intent on Content – ok, ok, some short sighted readers could read that as saying ‘be incontinent’, but I’m sticking with it. This is probably one of the most important things I’m going to say to you, so come closer… no, closer… IF THE PHRASES YOU WANT TO BE HIGH FOR AREN’T IN YOUR CONTENT, YOU WON’T GET LISTED FOR THEM!!!!. Ahem…. sorry, got a bit carried away there. But it’s true.

8) The Links Effect - this is no revelation, we’ve known for ages that links to your site help drive you up the listings. So off you all went, and signed up to a million link sites, swapped links furiously, and then wondered why it did you no good. It’s simple; a good linking campaign is like great sex. You take it slowly, make sure it’s focused on great results, and choose your partners wisely. Jumping on anyone and everyone is rarely satisfactory. Qualities, not quantity, remember?

9) Map it out – are you using Google Sitemaps yet? No? Why on earth not? Oh, because no-one has told you about them? That’s because people like me want to keep the information to themselves. Google sitemaps is a Google run project that allows you to find out so much about how Google sees your site. There’s a whole article on sitemaps on its way so I won’t say anything else here but go to http://sitemap.google.com and sign up.

10) Track and Change – so you want to be in Google, but you’re not using Google Analytics? You want to be in Google but you’re not tracking your listings, changing and tweaking your pages regularly and testing the results? Then you don’t want to be in Google that much, now do you?

So there you go, ten steps to Google Heaven.

Easy, right?

So, right now, what are you thinking?

* “Wow, what a great article, that’s really helped me!”

* “That’s rubbish, it’s no different to any other article I’ve read on the subject”

* “But how does it relate to MY website, it’s too vague”

The chances are you’re thinking either number 2 or 3, or a combination of the two (of course, some of you will be still be wondering how I managed to relate a linking campaign to sex, but that’s because I have a certain type of audience…)

Let me tell you this – if you follow all of the steps above and work out how to make them fit your website, you WILL get better listings in Google. I guarantee it. If you don’t, I’ll give you your money back. OK, OK, I know its cost you nothing, but you get the picture.

But if that’s not enough for you, if you want more, and to have the whole process personalised for YOUR website, with step by step guides, screenshots, examples and advice, then I can do that too.

    Hello,

    I hunted around a little on Google for you and here are some sites you might want to check out.

    I do my own online marketing, but if you have the money to hire a company go for it!

  • To find a Niche Marketing Internet, you first must have general idea which niche market you are going to target on.

    For example you target on "cabinet" then you just insert "cabinet" on google keyword tools

    https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

    from there you can see number of search volume. this is where your potential market is but before you take any keyword you want to target on, you must first see the competing pages for that keyword.

    Use google http://www.google.com to find the competing pages.

    try find the lowest competing as you you can because this to avoid from fierce competition.

    You have to also make sure the keyword has a commercial value. People really want to buy.

    That is basically the simple way you should find the nice marketing internet.

    You should also join a forum and see what kind of problem people normally asking and see if it is a good niche marketing internet taht you should consider.

    Sorry for my english. Hope my answer help

  • If you need the best up to date information, you will want to get it from one of the best experts in the SEO/Affiliate space. I learned from Jerry West and it has been a huge benefit to my career.

  • I think you are right to look at using the internet to make money in your spare time. There is no better way to get into a business for very little money.

    I got started online in my spare time about 5 years ago, it took a while but it got easier as I went along. Now, I work at internet marketing full-time and while I am certainly not a millionaire I do not have to work for someone else and my time is my own.

    Learning how to get started is the hardest part. Because of this I wrote a book, The Beginner's Guide to Online Success. It is an honest step-by-step plan to get your first website online with your first product. I guarantee that this book will help you or your money back.
    I even offer a 30 minute free online chat with me so you can ask any questions you need to make sure you are successful.

  • Hi,

    About the web sites, I recommend http://insidemarketing.blogspot.com — it's a blog full of useful info on Internet marketing and it's growing very rapidly. Information is very solid and up to date.

    Another excellent resource is the Warrior forum:

    >> http://www.warriorforum.com/forum

    There are very few really good Internet marketing books out there.
    One of the most recent I can recommend is Mike Filsaime's Butterfly marketing manuscript. It's 125 pages of pure Internet marketing genius and you won't find this info anywhere else:

    >> http://blazbanic.name/recommends/Butterfly

    It will no doubt open your mind like nothing else. And unlike almost every other Internet marketing ebook out there this one was really written by the author himself and he is a true master of Internet marketing.

    On copywriting (writing effective sales letters), Maria Veloso's "Web Copy That Sells" is by far the best, hands down.
    You can get it at Amazon for about $15:

    >> http://hypnoticmindtraining.com/Amazon/WebCopyThatSells

    Have a great time!

  • I am going to recommend that you check out Matt Bacak. You can Google his name or check out his blog at http://www.mattbacak.com. The guy is an Internet marketing expert but he keeps it real and explains things that people can understand.

    He's been doing this for several years and knows what he is talking about. I am actually a member of his IM Gold membership and I learn so much every day from it. I have followed a couple other so-called IM "gurus" and they provide you with fluff and don't give you the facts like Matt does. I wish you the best on your new business adventure!
