SEO Here, SEO There, SEO Everywhere: The Secret – Revealed!

SEO, SEO, SEO. I’m pretty sure that if you have been blogging for at least a couple of months now, you’ve seen these words posted in almost all blogging resource sites and some “make money online” blogs as well.

What is an SEO all about? How important it is for your site? Does it have affect at all in your online business?

For the technical minded people and computer-savvy, I guess you can easily understand what is an SEO and how it works.

For most of the bloggers out there like WAHMs(working-at-home-moms) who doesn’t know even the meaning of SEO, today, I will define SEO in a very simple way and will tell you some little secrets that even a new blogger running a mom/pop business can follow.

The Meaning of SEO

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via “natural” (“organic” or “algorithmic”) search results. Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the search results, or the higher it “ranks,” the more searchers will visit that site.

Here’s what BlogDeManila definition of SEO:

Search engine optimization (SEO) = make your site or blog the most visible to the search engine, the more visible you are, the more visitors you can get.

It’s very simple isn’t?

More visitors will bring you more traffic! And the more traffic you have, the more “money” you can make!

You’re next question is “How to make my blog/site more visible?”. Am I correct?

SEO Secrets Revealed!

Alright then, here are the simple and very practical tips on how to make your site more visible to the eyes of the search engines.

1. Think about what people are going to search for.

Make sure the content of your site is using the correct keywords that people will use in searching. Search engines are using program (spiders) to arrange (indexing) all the websites and blogs all over the world using the “keyword” query. This keyword is basically the word people will use to look for the information using the search engine.

Tip: Write for the reader not the engine!

2. Use “How To” in your Title.

It’s no secret that “how to” contents are some of the most sought after. This is the reason why ehow.com and wikihow.com together with answer.yahoo.com are one of the top most result when people search for a particular topic.

Tip: “How Tos” with  list and benefits are hot!

Take for example the title “How To Plant Malunggay”. People living in our country doesn’t know the scientific word of “Malunggay” which is Moringa oleifera and, I’m absolutely sure that 99% will use the word “How to plant Malunggay” than ” How to Plant Moringa oleifera”.

See the optimization I did with one of my niche blog site using the SEO secret 1 and 2 that I’ve just mentioned here.

TheFarm@PinoyBusiness was one of my first niche site where I applied SEO.  I already abandoned that site but do you know that it’s still earning? See my post about Inactive Blogs But Actively Earning.

Going back to our topic, you don’t have to take my word about the result that I’ve shown you . You may search the title that I used using Google, Yahoo, Ask or any search engine that you prefer (as long as the result is in English ;) ) . I bet you that it will land if not on the top list, it will surely be on the first few pages of your result page.

I don’t want you to get bored with this topic so I’ll divide this topic into two. There are still 3-4 SEO secrets that I want to share.

Take note that these are not  just tips that I copied from another site. I am personally using these “secrets” which I’ve studied for more than a year now. I got bored studying the technical stuffs that’s why I’m presenting the topic here using very simple, and understandable words that I can think of.

In short, I’m telling you what are the SEO techniques that really works, and easy to implement without being too much techie.
