Be Number One On Google!!!

Internet has allowed many businesses to reach a wider audience through websites and web pages; to gain more clients and progress with sales and notability; however, it's not just having a website that brings the people to your site.  Oh NO!  You have to utilize three simple little letters: SEO. You may have asked yourself: what does it means? Why is it so important? Well the answer is simple. You just don't click on what you don't see!

How many times have you been searching for something and haven't even gone past page 1 in the search results? I know that many times when I'm online if I don't see what I'm looking for in the first 5 results, I alter my search until I find what I'm looking for. There are millions of sites and results that I don't even pay attention to simply because they're not on the top of the list. There's just something about being on the top of the mountain that gets people to notice you. 

Enough Danyol!!! What does SEO stand for? It simply means: Search Engine Optimization. It's the art of making your Internet presence more prominent and noticeable without paid promotion when using search engines such as Google, Yahoo, or Bing.

Online businesses are learning more and more how important it is to have high SEO rankings; so much so that entrepreneurs and other marketing executives are sharpening their skills and going back to the classroom to learn how to effectively use SEO's to help their business be the best.

Can you imagine a 500% return on your investment SIMPLY because you increased you SEO?! 

Logically the next question is: 

"How in the heck do I effectively increase MY Search Engine Optimization?"

Here are a few things you can do: 

1- Use interesting content. Titles and content that is engaging and interesting keep people coming back to your site. If your site is boring and uninteresting chances are you'll be on the bottom of the searching totem pole.

2- Know your audience.  If you have a site that caters to a specific audience make sure you are giving them content they would enjoy and search for on a regular basis. Always keep them coming back for more.

3-Utilize social media sharing.  Most people share good information when they find it.  If you want to ensure your content gets spread, allow your site visitors the option to share. 

4-Research other results. Contact the owners of websites and pages you search for to get some tidbits on how you can improve your rankings. The Internet is a huge community with plenty of people looking to help out other site owners.
