Getting the Best Results on Search Engines - Part 1

As many of you may know, it’s not easy to get quality traffic to your website. The easiest way of getting real traffic that you want is by search engines. But, it’s not easy to be the first website on most keywords, due to the amount of websites there are in the world today.

Google is the best search engine in terms of traffic, period. But it’s also one of the hardest and most complicated engines to dominate, as they have a great amount of websites and it’s not easy to beat the competition.

From the main ones: Google, Yahoo and MSN, you should first try to dominate this last one, which is, by far, the easiest one to get listed, up and running.

First of all, you need to know how these search engines work. Basically, they have ‘robots’ that surf the web in look for new websites to list. They then have to “read” the website and list it on the search engine according to some keywords. One of the first things you have got to do is get your website optimized for these ‘robots’, so that they know exactly what your website is about.
Another thing you need, is having other websites that link to yours. This is very important for all these ‘robots’, and it’s good if you can get well rated websites linking to you.

But how exactly can you get them? One way of doing it is submitting your articles to directories. One automatic way of doing it is using http://www.articlemarketer.com/, which submits your articles to a lot of directories and gets you a lot of backlinks, which is great. Unfortunately, not everyone is willing and able to pay for this kind of service which leaves us to the alternatives such as http://www.goarticles.com/. You can find them on Google (just search for “Article Directory”), so you can try to find them yourself.

Tomorrow, I’ll show you even more ways to promote your website, including a rocket method of getting the best results.
