From personal experience you, I've found that



only three aspects really matter: Content; a

website is nothing without good content, and

good content is so difficult to come by, if your

not a talented writer. The second aspect has to

be backlinks. This is probably the most important

one too. Search Engines determine where to index

your site from the ammount of backlinks you have

just as much, as the quality of your content.

The more sites linking to you, the more popular

your site is to search engines.

The Last aspect and often mistaken as something

unimportant is the use of a sitemap. I've heard

of many webmasters saying their Search Engine

traffic increased dramatically thanks to a

sitemap. This is due to being able to specify

the importance of changing pages from your site.

Static pages are of no use to you as this has a

negative effect on your ranking. Sites of high

importance, i.e. pages that constanly change are

what the Search Bots love to index, and by

specifying this, the search engines will know

which url's to look for first. Ever changing

pages will dramatically increase your rankings.

I've come up with a formulae that I feel can't

fail when it comes to Optimization. You need

these 3 things for better rankings, as mentioned

before. 1) Good content, and what better way is

there to get high quality content, than articles?

2) Link popularity, and what better way is their

to link popularity than Link Directories?

3) Sitemaps-Constantly changing content, what

better way is there than owning a blog? Posts, you

have the opportunity to post everyday.

I've been using these three scripts, that you can

find available free of charge on the internet, and

turned them into my own little SEO Goldmine.

The Article Directory adds volume and content to

your site, making crawlers come to your site more

often and stay longer. The link directory allows

for multiple backlinks to your domain, increasing

page rank and ranking, and the blog allows you the

freedom of posting whenever you want to, and to have

new content frequently, so whenever your sitemap is

pinged, the search engines will find the new content

they so desperatly crave for.

After these steps are followed, the opportunities are

virtually limitless as to what you can accomplish!

Monetizing your site will also be much more effective,

and the rewards will speak for themselves
