Improve your site's search engine ranking?

What are you doing to improve your site's search engine ranking?

• Are you submitting your site to the search engines?

  So is everyone else—at least one trillion pages worth. Sorry, but all that gets you is entry into the search engine battleground . . . with one trillion pages trying to lure the same visitors you want to draw to your site.

• Are you making a few little tweaks you read about online?

  You're not the only one you know. It takes more than few free tips to gain good rankings. Consider this . . . with hordes of people using the same free tips, how does that give you the edge you need? Now you know why a few free tips that everyone has access to aren't enough. You need deeper knowledge to create an advantage for yourself.

• Are you asking other sites for reciprocal links?

  How's that working for you? The truth is, you may get a drop of traffic from those links, but search engines don't value reciprocal links near as much as one-way links. My free gift to you when you get SEO for YOU shows you four easy ways to receive one-way links to your site from important, high-value sites. High-value links completely blow away reciprocal links from a search engine optimization perspective.

• Are you doing anything else to help your website rank better . . . or are you hoping to get a lucky break?

  When it comes to search engine rankings, good luck is the result of smart optimization. Bad luck is the result of doing nothing, or doing the wrong things, and hoping to get lucky.
