Tips


SEO takes time, commitment, skills and effort - it is rarely a 'magic wand' solution. But its purpose is to increase relevant traffic to your website and generate more revenue. So here are some tips for you:

5 TIPS for getting LINKS to your WEBSITE
  1. Publish articles on other websites in exchange for a 'backlink' to your website.
  2. Contribute to relevant forums and reference your website.
  3. Acquire links from relevant websites - (eg. ask suppliers, beneficiaries, industry associations etc to link to your site.)
  4. Publish press releases online
  5. Add your website to quality directories
5 TIPS for BETTER KEYWORDS
  1. Use keywords that reflect what your target market will want to find on your website - NOT for terms no one has ever heard of.
  2. Add and update 'keyword-rich' content on your website - "fresh content is king." A good way of doing this is writing a blog.
  3. Have your keyword in your website domain name.
  4. Use very specific keyword combinations rather than unspecialised general terms. (eg."computers" offers 1,170,000,000 results on Google and "Dell laptop computer repairs Brisbane" offers 11,400 results.)
  5. Use your keywords in Page & Article headings because they have a higher weighting.
